Me and My Big Mouth

By Becky Black

Max Sagan’s mouth is always getting him in trouble. His special talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person makes it hard to hold onto either a job or a boyfriend for long.

When Max is fired yet again, his best friend Noah reluctantly gets Max an interview where he works. Max is grateful, but unsure if a party boy like him will fit in at a stuffy law firm. Then he meets Noah’s gorgeous boss, lawyer Owen Hart, and becomes determined to keep this job.

Others say Owen is far too professional to date an employee, but Max has a plan -- keep his fingers crossed, look cute, and hope it works out. Meanwhile he’s working hard to keep his big mouth shut so he might last an unprecedented entire month at his new job -- long enough, he hopes, to catch Owen’s eye.

Max slammed the front door, threw his jacket and his house keys on the hallway floor, walked into the living room, and fell onto the sofa flat on his face.

You’re back early.

He lifted his head. Noah was sitting at the dining table, files and notebooks and huge law books open in front of him. Max dropped his head back into the sofa cushions and groaned loudly.

What’s up?

He heard Noah move away from the table, and the arm of the sofa creaked. Max turned on his back to look up. Noah’s dark and concerned face peered down at him.

I got sacked.

Again? Noah sighed. What did you say this time?

What makes you think it was something I said?

I’ve met you before.

Harsh. Though probably fair. But it wasn’t my fault this time, I swear. He asked.

Who asked what?

My boss. Max winced. The bar manager. He asked how come he never had any luck with women. Come to think of it, it might have been one of those rhetorical questions.

But you answered it anyway.

It just slipped out. I kind of said he might do better if he didn’t model his facial hair after 1970s porno actors.
