Weirdo //Elmax //

Chapter 9

Jane and Max were both huddled under a blanket. The redhead had invited Jane over to her house, and without a moment's hesitation, Jane had replied with a resounding yes.

The two girls were in the living room, sitting on the couch, watching television. Max had invited Jane to her place because there was no one else at home. Her mother and stepfather had gone out for a date, and Billy was off to a party. and knowing him, he wouldn't be back before 5am. So, the two girls were left alone in the house.

"You have beautiful hair, you know," said the brunette, twirling her finger around one of Max's locks. The redhead chuckled before returning the compliment.

Silence settled in, yielding to the monologue of the characters on the screen. Over the minutes, Jane inched her body closer to Max until they were touching. The redhead tried to act as if nothing was happening, attempting to focus on the movie rather than the girl beside her.

Jane suddenly took a deep breath, which made the redhead shiver because the girl's mouth was quite close to her ear.
"You're weird." Jane murmured, more to herself than to Max. The redhead furrowed her brows and turned her head toward her friend. "What?"
"What, what?" The brunette still had her eyes fixed on the television screen, which unsettled Max. "Why are you telling me this?" Max turned completely, aligning her body to face the girl

"I don't know, I just think you're weird," the brunette also turned her head. Their faces ended up just a few centimeters apart. Jane hadn't realized how close she had gotten, and she felt her cheeks flush when she realized she was almost brushing against the redhead's nose. "And ?" Max whispered, afraid of the brunette's response. Usually, she didn't care about people's opinions, but this was different. It was Jane. "I think it's cool." A soft smile formed on Max's lips, and thousands of shivers ran through her when Jane leaned in to kiss her on the forehead.

The redhead sat back down on the couch in a normal manner and couldn't help but notice that the warmth had increased since she was close to her friend.

Jane timidly took her hand and rested her head on her shoulder, closing her eyes, afraid that the redhead might refuse.

The two remained like that throughout all the movies before falling asleep, their hands intertwined.
