RAINBOWALL - [MAXNAT] FANFIC

CHAPTER 36 - FEELINGS 💫

FYI - Start from now on, I will not use any of MAXNAT photo for this Fanfic because it's hard to find a photo suit the situation.

*************************************************

Nath walked into the café, and Max was still in shock after the kiss they shared. His heart raced, making him clutch his shirt tightly, trying to calm himself down💓.

He kept thinking about what had just happened. Why did he enjoy that kiss so much ? He liked it—more than he was willing to admit. He didn't want to let go of Nath. It was a strong feeling he had been trying to ignore ever since they first met💕.

Max slapped his own cheek gently to make sure he wasn’t dreaming. The kiss had really happened. A day he never imagined would come.

“He was bigger and stronger than Nath—he could’ve pushed him away easily, so why didn’t he 😌 ? - Sincerely , the Author 🌼”

Wasn’t that just another excuse ? An attempt to prove he had no feelings for Nath ? To justify why he kissed him back ? For the past two months, he hadn’t seen Nath’s face, yet every day he denied how much he actually missed him. Truth is, he missed Nath more than words like ‘I miss you’ could ever express 😏.

When Max saw Nath walk in as the birthday celebrant, his eyes sparkled with joy—but also burned with jealousy as he watched Nath hugging another man tightly. Max felt like there was no way he could ever compare to Mark V.

Mark V—the charismatic man who seemed very close to Nath. Just imagining the two walking through a crowd together, laughing and hugging, others would surely think they were the perfect couple 👬.

Max sighed -

For the first time ever, his own legs felt heavy stepping into the café. Max wasn’t ready to witness a scene like a heroine kissing the hero in some romantic movie. How could he avoid that ? Could time just speed up—so he didn’t have to face what was coming when he stepped inside ?

Counting 1... 2... 3 just to walk into his own café ? Seriously ? Who even does that anymore ? Why was he acting so nervous ? It’s not like he was going to war. Was he scared of seeing Nath with another man, or was he just shy after getting caught enjoying that kiss earlier ?

It wasn’t easy to act normal after everything. Max slowly opened the back door. Loud music blared through as the guests had already started dancing and celebrating.

Scanning the room, Max didn’t see Nath on the dance floor. A small sigh of relief escaped him. At least Nath wasn’t dancing with anyone. His plan ? Avoid Nath at all costs and pretend like he wasn’t even attending the birthday party. Pretend he was at a stranger’s party.

Raff: Ohhh... Boss ? Why are you just standing here 🤨 ?

Max immediately covered Raff’s mouth with his hand. He didn’t want anyone hearing that word—Boss. Raff was someone Max always worried about. Why ? Because every word that slipped out of his mouth was like a ticking bomb, ready to explode.

Max: Didn’t I already warn you not to say that word out loud... silly 😠 ? This is Nath’s party. Don’t you remember he doesn’t know I own this café ?

Raff: Sorry Bo—uh, I mean Max 😅. I’ll be more careful. Why don’t you just rest in the office ? Let me and the others handle everything. Max, you really look exhausted.

Max: I can’t do that. If I suddenly disappear, Nath might get suspicious. I don’t want him to find out I’m the owner of this place.

Raff: Aaaa… You’re right. So, what’s the plan now 🤔 ?
