| Max took a deep breath and continued. "Technically, I'm... not a virgin I had sex once, which I regret so much. But if you asked me if I had ever made love, then the answer would be no." He finished and looked over at Liz and gave her a look that nearly broke her heart. Impressed with his answer but trying to cover it up, Mr. Parker asked Liz "Liz, are you a virgin?" "DAD!! I'm not going to tell you that?" Liz yelled in complete shock. "ELIZABETH PARKER YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW!!!" Mr. Parker bellowed making Liz stare at him with surprise and a hint of fear on her face. He immediantly regretted yelling. "Fine. I am okay. Happy now?" she said icily. "Very." he replied sarcastically. Then, like he was talking about the weather, he asked "Do you have any children Max?" The entire table stared at him in shock. "Well, as a matter of fact I do. I have a son. You see the uh "mother" of the child took of with him and Liz was helping me to find him." he finished and held his breath. Why Mr. Parker asked that question he would never know but he did and Max told him the answer as truthfully as possible. Everything awaited in the hands of Jeff Parker. Would he make life easier by allowing him and Liz to see each other or would he make this harder on all of them by refusing. Max knew that he would be with Liz no matter what and that the only person who could stop him from being with her was Liz herself. Yet, he hoped with all his heart that her father would do the right thing by allowing them to see each other. Meanwhile Jeff was thinking hard too. *So... he told me the truth. I guess he really does want to be with my Lizzie. But he has a son????? He's only 18 for god's sake. How could such a well off boy turn out like this? I mean what happened to him? When he was dating Liz earlier, like last year. I trusted him. He was a responsible, level-headed smart boy. I thought that he was so good to my Lizzie and that she really liked him back but then they broke up and she was in such pain.... What the HELL happened??* He looked over at his daughter who liked like she was on death row waiting for what he was about to say.* She had so many opportunities and she's throwing them all away just for him. A guy who has a son and held up a convienience store. What happened, where did I go wrong? I know, I know no matter what I say she will still sneak out to be with him every chance she gets. She's almost eighteen and then I won't have any say, I'll have lost her. I can't lose my only daughter so there's only one thing to do.* He took a deep breath and then sighed. *Here we go* he thought. At the same time Liz was panicking. * Oh god, oh god what he is going to do? What is he going to say? I can't live without Max. I love him. He's my other half, my soulmate. I love you Daddy but if I have to choose, it's going to be the love of my life. I love you but please do the right thing!* she continued this line of thought awaiting her father's decision. They were not the only one's who were thinking. Mrs. Parker was right there too. *Come on Jeff, I know your worried about losing Lizzie and maybe Max isn't the ideal person for her to be with now but she loves him and he obviously loves her. Do the right thing my love.* she finished thinking as Jeff opened his mouth to begin. |
