Third Person POV

"I'm so proud of all of you and I'm so grateful for your hard work!" Siriporn, the Quality Assurance Manager in Tul's office announced to everyone. "Because of your excellent job our client has offered to sponsor a beach party this weekend to reward you all for your hard work!"

A loud cheer erupted from Tul's co workers and from Tul himself.

"Can we bring a friend along?" Tul asked.

"Yes, one extra person from each employee is allowed," the manager replied.

Another happy cheer erupted from everyone.

Max stood in front of his refrigerator wondering what to cook for dinner. It was still early but he thought that if he needed to thaw some frozen meat he better take them out now so that he didn't need to use the microwave to thaw it in a hurry.

It was a Saturday so he wanted something a little fancy to cook for dinner.

Max was taking out a pack of rib eye cut beef from his freezer when his front door buzzer sounded.

"Tadah!"

Mook stood at the front door balancing a big box of pizza in one hand and carrying a six pack beer in the other hand.

"Well! Well! Well!" Max exclaimed, taking the box of pizza from Mook and holding the door open for her with his free hand. "To what do I owe this happiest of visits!"

"The new comedy sit com is premiering tonight," Mook announced, setting the six pack on Max's coffee table right beside the box of pizza. "I wanted to watch it with you."

"Oh yeah, it's that TV sit com about a family running a farm right in the middle of the city, right?" Max said, already opening a can of beer as he sat beside Mook on the sofa.

"That's the one," Mook confirmed. "I watched the trailer last week. It was hilarious."

Max picked up his TV remote.

"What channel is it on?" he asked.

"Nine," Mook replied. "It won't start till after the seven o'clock news."

Max glanced at the time on the upper corner of the TV screen. It was seven forty five. They had a good fifteen minutes of waiting time.

Mook opened the box of pizza and took out one slice and handed it to Max.

"I ordered a half - half," she said. "One side of the whole pizza has a topping of pepperoni and mozzarella cheese while the other half of the whole pizza has a topping of mushrooms and bell peppers."

"Let me have the pizza with mushrooms and bell peppers first," Max said, handing back the pepperoni pizza to Mook.

As Mook and Max munched on their pizzas they watched as the remaining part of the news was being broadcast. The last few minutes of the news was the weather forecast.

"Shit, it's gonna rain on Monday morning," Max groaned.

Mook groaned along with him.

"I already hate Monday mornings," Max grumbled. "To make it worse, it just has to rain. The weather man has just upgraded my hatred of Monday to loathing it."

"Same here," Mook said as she opened a can of beer.

Mook noticed that Max had already finished his first can and so she handed the newly opened one to him.

"Thanks," Max said as he accepted the beer from Mook.

"By the way, why did you come over without Ella in tow? She usually spends Saturday evenings with you. And this comedy show would be something she wouldn't want to miss," Max said just before taking a sip from his beer.

"Because she's spending this evening with Tul at the beach," Mook said as she opened another can of beer for herself.

"What the hell, Max!" Mook yelled at Max as she watched him in horror.

Max had sputtered out his beer straight into the box of pizza.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Max was beside himself with apologies. "I will order a new box of pizzas. Did you want the same kind of toppings?"
