It was quarter to seven when Liam put the finishing touches on the table settings in Alice‘s dining room, carefully lighting the candles which where strategically placed along the table.
“Liam it looks beautiful,” Alice gushed as she walked in having just got changed, struggling to put on one of her earrings. “You’ve really gone all out. I thought we’d be getting take away or something.”
“I’m glad you have such faith in me Alice,” Liam replied. “Now be useful and put some music on.”
Alice quickly walked over to her stereo, and as she flicked through the stash of cds that lined half of one of her living room walls, she wondered whether or not to ask Liam about Howie. As best friends go, she hadn’t really been there for Liam to talk to the past week, obviously preoccupied in her blossoming relationship with Dana. But Alice knew how to read the signs, and could tell that Liam was quite seriously considering a solid relationship with Howie.
It’s been said that best friends develop their friendship primarily on similar hobbies, interests and personalities. In Alice‘s case, Liam was both very different and very similar to herself. While Liam was somewhat of a clean freak, Alice was messing and disorganised. While Alice preferred winter, Liam preferred summer. While Alice preferred girls, Liam preferred guys. It was because of these differences that they had managed to stay friends for so long without getting too used to one another.
However, they also had many similar features, one of them being the way that they both preferred casual sex/relationship to a more steady, long-term thing. Both Alice and Liam had failed relationships in their past, and before they had met the Fairbanks, were both set on continuing a succession of easy, ‘no-strings-attached’ relationships. But just as Alice had changed her mind about this idea not a week after she had met Dana, she could sense that Liam too was having second thoughts about it.
“So Liam,” Alice began to say, trying desperately to come across as somewhat subtle in her attempts to learn more about him and Howie. “I was wondering, you know ab-”
“Just ask Alice,” Liam replied without looking up from the wine rack in the kitchen. “You know how much you suck at skirting around the issue. Just ask about him.”
