“What’s that supposed to mean?” She asks, raising her eyebrows.“Just that...you shouldn’t waste your time taking care of me. You deserve the world, after everything you’ve gone through.”“You think I don’t want to be with you?” She asks, placing her hands on his chest and staring at him intently. She knows exactly what he's implying, and although she really wishes she couldn't, she also knows deep down that he’s right. She deserves it. She deserves all the happiness, all the love she’s been given, all the joy and happiness she’s experienced in her short life, and she will find it. But until then, she’ll just have to enjoy it here and now, and she will. With him. And nothing, and nobody, is going to take that away from her.She pulls herself forward to press her lips against his and then she wraps her legs around his hips and he groans into her mouth, his hand travelling to the small of her back and pulling her even closer. Their kiss deepens, becoming passionate, and Max slides h

“Stay here.” He whispers against her lips as he rolls out of bed and stands up. She whimpers slightly, wrapping her arms around his waist. He chuckles quietly to himself as he starts to walk towards the door, carefully lifting her off of the ground, holding her against him tightly. She tucks her head beneath his chin and lays a hand on his chest, letting him lead her towards the stairs. Max walks slowly down the stairs, making sure not to drop her. Once they get to the bottom of the steps he sets her down and kisses her cheek gently. “Be good.” He whispers as he continues down the stairs.She giggles as she watches him walk down the stairs. She waits until he disappears completely from view before moving to stand up straight. She looks around the house for a few seconds before heading up the stairs, following him. When she reaches the hallway she sees him standing outside of the door leading to the study. He is leaning forward on one of the windowsills, staring out into the fores

His hands shake as he drives towards her apartment building. He stops in front of it, taking a deep breath before unbuckling his seat belt, preparing himself for the worst. He climbs out of the car, straightening his shirt slightly before knocking on the front door three times. His hands start shaking even more as the door swings open, revealing the young woman he's been seeing since last year. Her eyes widen at the sight of him. "Max...What are you doing here?" She asks hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can I come in?" He asks quietly. She nods mutely, stepping aside to allow him entry. Max follows her, closing the door behind him and moving further into the apartment. She walks over to the kitchen, pouring herself a glass of water and swallowing heavily. Max sits down at the breakfast bar watching her silently. "How long have you known about us?" He blurts out suddenly.She furrows her eyebrows together in confusion and turns to look at him. "About us? What do yo

Sophie kept staring at Max, he looks so handsome, she truly madly in love with him. Sophie has a crush on Max and now she's going to confess her love for him."Max!" She yelled out.He looked up and smiled at her. She ran over to him, and kissed him passionately."I'm sorry I've been distant lately," Sophie apologized to him.Max just smiled at her. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close to him. Sophie felt like melting into the kiss but she had to pull away."Max, I think we should talk," Sophie said softly.Max frowned slightly, he could tell something was wrong. Sophie continued."I know you don't feel the same way about me but we are friends right? So why won't you tell me?"Max sighed and pulled away from Sophie. He rubbed the back of his neck looking nervous. "Sophie, I really like you okay."Sophie nodded. "That's all well and good but that doesn't change the fact that you haven't told me anything about this." She motioned to their surroundings."Well it's not r

"Hey, I only helped out a little bit. But seriously, thank you. I'm glad that I got to help you. Now I know that I can actually change your life for the better."Max smiled lightly and nodded. He then leaned forward and kissed her gently."What about us?" Sophie whispered softly once they pulled away from each other. "Aren't we gonna get together as always someday?"Max blushed slightly. "Well, I guess we will eventually, but uh...""But what?" Sophie pressed worriedly."Nothing, dear. I'll think about it later." He reassured her.Sophie nodded. She knew that he didn't want to talk about it now. She knew he was scared to admit it. And maybe she wasn't surprised, considering their history. Still, she couldn't help but feel hurt by how reluctant he was to tell her about it."Come on," She said, standing up from the bed. "Let's go eat breakfast."Max grinned and jumped off the bed. "Alright." He agreed.They headed downstairs, hand in hand. Sophie smiled at the sight. Their relationsh
