It was a moment nobody forgot and everyone mentioned.  Once the night was over and Max avoided Billy's calls to come out to the car, but Mike finally let her go. He walked her down the stairwell out onto the loading dock on the side of his condo complex.

She looked up at him adjusting his hooded on her shoulders.  He smiled looking down at her red locks stiff from the chlorine and sand. They inched closer together talking about how much they didn't want her to go home.

"I'm glad you came Max, tonight was really fun" He said looking at Billy's car and back at her
"Yeah today was f-fun" she said shivering a bit as a breeze blew over her shoulders.
He smiled a bit broader blushed and pulled her into a hug.
'He is so warm she thought as her hands slithered around his waist laying flat against the base of his shoulder blades.
His build was as mature as it had ever been, rough around the edges and full in the chest.
Laying on him had felt like a pillow to her and hugging him now felt so warm and comfortable.

They were the perfect height for one another.  Max standing at 5'7 just below his chin, He was 6'2 probably the tallest boy she had ever been close enough to compare height with.

Max let her hands rest on him and he kept his above her shoulders,  resting his head on her. It felt complete like something out of a movie. She tried to make herself inch away from him but she failed continually falling back into his warm touch.

"I swear to God Maxine if you done your ass in this car I'm leaving you here" Billy screamed from the gate blaring his beach rock music for all to hear.

"I wish he would" Max said as the two pulled apart reluctantly and avoided direct eye contact.  They looked at each other the same time. They began to inch closer again until Max shook herself out of it hearingBilly scream her name again.

"Bye Mi-ike" Max mumbled gazing into his eyes.

"Bye cutie" he said back asshe jogged to Billy's car slamming the door and skidding off before he could even take another breath.

'Dammit I wish I would have kissed her.' He thought regretting not making the first move.
