Light flashed in front of me and I scrunched my face. My eyes were seeing red.

Blinking a few times, I opened my eyes, leaning back up to get blood running through my neck. It was numb damnit.

Once I could feel my neck again, I registered where I was. A few noises of cups and cutleries woke me up faster and I turned to my left, somehow really surprised to find Max sitting with his legs crossed ands phone in hand.

I was at the cafe.

"Glad you finally took your time to wake up."

I continued to stare at him. It takes times to wake up after a nap. Wait, does that mean, I've been sleeping on Max Winters's shoulder?!

"Wh... what? What are we doing?" My mouth was sore, as if I'd been sleeping for hours. I turned to look through the window and started to sweat when the sky was indeed dark and the night lights of the town was on. I reached for the glass of water.

"You fell asleep on me Baker and sleep you did." He gave me a glance before slowly standing up. I had to hold in my laugh. He looked like an old man with frail legs. "You sleep like a stone, you know. And now, look, my legs are dead."

I wanted to object, tell him that he could've just stood up, dropping my head but decided against it. I wasn't in the mood to fight.

I cast my attention to the table, the books open as they were with the guitar laying on top. "How long did you play for?"

"For a few minutes."

"How long was I asleep for?"

"Almost an hour, I think."

I cursed, jumping up to get my bag. Max watched amused at me, walking around to my side as I packed everything, not caring to zip up properly. I knew I should've been careful, because the next thing I know, I was falling from a trip of the carpet, again. And again, to my despair, Max caught me.

I ignored how my heart literally stopped at the sudden action. I ignored how my throat went dry all of a sudden when Max whispered near my ear, "you really have to stop falling for me."

There was no way that sent a shiver down my spine. There was no way I visibly gulped in excitement. There was no fucking way I wanted more than his lips near my ear.

I pulled away when I heard a throat clear.

"What the fuck are you muttering about Winters? Stay the fuck away from me."

I didn't turn around to see who was behind and made my way out the cafe.

I was going crazy.

My mind was going to fucking blow.

Rushing into my car, I locked all the doors and just sat on the drivers seat, head in my hands. I was going shit crazy.

"Alright Alan, let's calm down. Don't go irrationally thinking things and take deep breaths. Alright, in." Deep breath in. "And out." Deep breath out. "You're not being weird. You're not going crazy. You're definitely not going to freak out just because you got turned on because Max fucking stupid asshole Winters whispered in your fucking ear."

It worked. A little.

How was one supposed to figure out why they'd gotten a hard on when someone whispered 'you really have to stop falling for me' in a really sexy voice.
