Burning Love | Max Mayfield X Maleoc |

4.4

After telling everything Lucas everything that happened about Max's situation, everyone went to Jay's house to sleep for the night, mostly because it had enough rooms to fit everyone so they could sleep comfortably and not pressed up like they do in the Wheelers basement.

Max was currently on Jay's room, wearing some pj's from Elizabeth, 'Running Up That Hill' playing softly on Jay's boombox. Max tossed from side to side in the bed, she just couldn't sleep, not after what she knew, plus, the fact that Jay was also sleeping on the same room didn't helped at all, if this really was her last day, she wanted to at least do things right before she died, so, she started with the first one which was Jay.

"Jay..." she whispered softly as she looked at floor, and much to her luck, he was also awake.

"Yeah, you want something?" he replied softly as he sat up on the floor and looked at her while biting his lip, also thinking of something similar.

"Can you... Uh, sleep with me?" she asked shyly as her cheeks reddened by her bold request.

Jay's heart started beating faster again and he wasted no time in agree, he stood up from the floor and got on the bed with her, then he shifted his position slightly before it was finally comfortable for both of them, which was spooning each other.

Max hesitated for a few seconds before closings her eyes and speaking her feelings out, "I... I know I've been mean towards you last year, and I wanted to say... I-I'm sorry, for everything... I never stopped liking you, I just broke up with you because... I didn't want to be a burden to you, I just felt useless at your side, you're always so perfect and I'm just so me. I didn't... I didn't want to bring you down with me, not after everything you made for me." she took a few deep breaths as she continued, "And I thought it could be over, you know? That I could get over you but I couldn't, and then you started hanging out with Olivia, I was just so jealous! You were smiling and laughing, you were smiling and laughing because of her! I thought you stopped liking me and I just... I just close to everyone... I'm sorry for everything I did..." she finished, letting out a few tears as she waited for a response but nothing, and of course this confused her, so she slowly turned around only to be met with the lips of Jay on hers, she bit back a gasp before finally giving in and kissing him back.

After good 10 seconds Jay pulled apart and looked at her with his own teary eyes, "You have nothing to be sorry for... I-I understand you, I just... I just wish that you said this sooner, not now... When we have less than a day..." he sniffed softly as he looked at her blue eyes with a sad smile, "I-I lo..." he paused for a little, not knowing if what he was going to say was right, but he ultimately back off, "Uh, I still like you... Now and every day of my life, I've never stopped liking you one day, since you came through that door in Mr. Clark's class, the first time we talked, when we trick-or-treated, or kissed at Will's house, I knew I did... I always did..." he admitted as he chuckled shakily and wiped his and her eyes, he didn't want to say that he liked her, he wanted to say that he loved her, but he just couldn't get that words out.

Max just couldn't belive what she heard, he still likes her, she just couldn't, her mind was failing to do or say anything, but she was also disappointed that he didn't say 'I love you', and she wanted to say it herself, she wanted to scream it at top of her lungs, but she just couldn't, maybe it was nervousness or whatever it was but she just couldn't. So she did the same she did on the car, she just smashed her lips against his, but it wasn't a just a simple kiss, it was a intimate one, the most intimate she could do.

This obviously startled Jay but he didn't mind a bit, he reciprocated the kiss with equal passion as they finally started letting out those emotions that had bottled up for so much time, but some new ones started growing inside of them. The kiss grew more heated and passionate at the point she was straddling his lap as they made out hungrily and without containing their actions, their hands exploring their bodies desperately.
