Max: Lovebug, please

Ace: I can't I told you

Max: Come on it's you've got to try this cake it's sooo good.

Ace: If I eat anything else I'm going to explode.

Tonight is our six month anniversary. Max made dinner and baked a cake. He made it so special. We spent the entire day together. I still had homework to do so in my quiet time he prepared this whole thing.

Ace: Thank you, for all of this. I will eat cake tomorrow I promise. But right now I want to cuddle and pass this food baby.

He picked me up and we sat on the couch and watched a movie.

Ace: Have you heard anything about the teacher competition?

Max: Yeah, I think it's some scavenger hunt

Ace: What do you mean?

Max: We all start in the union and go around the campus trying to figure out clues and the first team to figure it all out gets some sort of award.

Ace: We can so win

Max: I know, but I don't want to get too cocky.

Ace: Yeah that makes sense. Do you know what the prize is?

Max: No,I think it's supposed to be a surprise.

He kissed my forehead

Ace: I can't stay

Max: It's my night though

Ace: I know, but I've got a semester exams in the morning.

Max: Lovebug

Ace: Don't make me feel worse than I already do.

Max: Would it make you stay?

Ace: If I fail, I'm blaming you

Max: I'm okay with that

He picked me up and we went to my room.

Ace: Why aren't we in your room?

Max: Just felt like changing things up.

Ace: Are you okay?

Max: I'm great

Ace: Max what's wrong?

Max: Nothing

Ace: You're lying

Max: I'm not

Ace: After all this time I thought you trusted me.

Max: I do, Lovebug...

Ace: I should go

I started grabbing my things

Max: Ace, don't walk away from me

He went to grab my arm, not in an aggressive way. But I flinched so hard it felt like my body shook.

Max: What was that?

Ace: Don't change to the subject. You're hiding things from me

Max: So are you

Ace: I'm gonna go before I say or do something I can't take back.

I started walking towards the door.

Max: Sit down

I didn't stop moving, I made it down the hall.

Max: Ace I swear if you walk out that door

Ace: You'll what, hit me, break up with me, what are you gonna do that's any different from what Charlie did to me?
