"Get changed sugar." Gerard throws a cute floral-patterned dress onto the bed. It's quite late in the evening so Maxine's confused about what's going on, she follows his instructions and begins to undress in front of him. He turns away, still trying to respect her privacy even though they've been together for a while now. 

"What's going on?" She asks him whilst brushing through her hair. "Just come with me, okay?" He replies, visibly excited about something. He takes her hand and rushes out the door, making a b-line for his car.

They arrive at Gerard's studio, Maxine is still lost on what they're doing but doesn't question it. He unlocks the glass door and heads upstairs, still holding Maxine's hand and dragging her behind him. He pulls out a chair and sits her down on it, then scurries off to a cupboard. He comes back out with a large sketchbook and some pencils which he sets up on an easel opposite her. 

"I want to draw you! I've sketched other parts of my life, how can I not sketch you?" Maxine laughs at his clear excitement. 

He carefully traces his eyes around her body, making sure the proportions are correct. When he moves onto her face he focuses carefully, admiring every single feature. 

"Have I ever told you how perfect you are?" He says, still admiring her blushing face. 

He continues drawing for about an hour until he eventually calls her over to take a look. She runs over and is instantly in shock. It's like looking in a mirror, everything about her he has captured perfectly. 

"Gee this is insane, you're amazing!" She sits on his lap and he holds her side. He adds some finishing highlights in her hair before getting up to find a frame. He pulls a white frame out of the same cupboard and places the photo in it. The frame gets hung up on the wall alongside some of his other finished artworks.

"Maybe I'll put this in my next exhibition!" Maxine laughs at his idea. "I'm serious Max, then everyone can see how gorgeous you are."  

"And what about you?" She pokes at his chest. "Do a self portrait, then everyone can see how gorgeous you are!" She smiles at him and ruffles his hair. 

"I'll be there sugar, they can see this gorgeous face in person!" He laughs at his own joke, revealing his face again by dramatically pushing his now messy hair away from his face. Maxine shakes her head sarcastically, but she can't help laughing at him. 

The giggles stop and Gerard picks Maxine up unexpectedly, a squeal escapes from her as he holds her up against him. She manoeuvres herself around to link her arms together around the back of his head, with her legs doing the same behind his back. 

"You never let me finish this morning." He says whilst brushing his thumb over her soft parted lips. She lets out a short breath as he hitches her up his body, keeping his hands held firmly under her thighs. Their lips lock together, intertwining their tongues until they become tangled in with one another. He removes one hand from behind her and runs it through her hair, grasping tightly onto the back of her head. Maxine's heart beats faster at the feeling of him gently tugging at her hair, she leans deeper into the kiss which sends tingles down Gerard's spine. Their lips part for a brief moment, he looks deeply into her diluted eyes before going back in again aggressively, like a starved animal. The heat radiating between them makes it even more intense as sweat forms on Gerard's forehead, which is quickly transferred onto Maxine as their heads crash against each other. Eventually they pull away from the kiss, Gerard pushes Maxine's hair out of her face before gently lowering her back down to the floor. Her legs are like jelly so she immediately grabs onto the small table to hold her balance. He places his hands on her waist to hold her up.

"That good yeah?" He jokes, slightly out of breath.
