"Hi" I answer Carlos looking into those brown eyes, that I find myself liking more and more.

We sit in a comfortable silence for some seconds just admiring each other.

" I'm sorry about last night.." Carlos start, I make a protest but is stopped by Carlos. ".. and this morning. I should't have left like that."

" No, it's okay. You were out with Daniel?" I ask wanting to know why he left.

" Yes, we were just talking. Nothing for you to worry about." Carlos reassures. I'm starting to get a little worried for Daniel and Max.

" Okay." I say not wanting to pry. Once again my attention is on my hands. " Do you know anything about Daniel and Max?" I end up asking either way.

" What?"

" Just that Max has been acting a little weird and I think it has to do with Daniel." I say looking up at Carlos. Expecting his eyes on me but he's staring at the wall.

" I don't know anything." He answer a little to quickly.

" Are you sure Daniel hasn't said anything about Max? Nothing at all?" I know it's not my place to ask but somehow I end up  pressuring Carlos even more for an answer.

" No." weird. He's never this dry when it comes to his answers. But who am I to judge Carlos is just being a good friend to Daniel.

" I'm sorry. I'm worried about Max." That makes Carlos turn his attention to me.

" You don't need to worry, I'm sure they are fine." Carlos say with a sweet smile.

I let out a sight and let my head rest in my hands. " I'm just so tired."

" Hey, cariño. You're such a good friend to Max but please, please be careful with him. He can be a little too spontaneous." Carlos say letting his hand drag up and down on my back in a smoothing motion. And what?

" What?" I say turning my head up towards him. That was the last thing I was expecting to come out of his mouth. Why do people keep telling me to be careful? I can take care of myself.

"Just, I don't know." He say not giving an explanation. I keep looking at him with a confused pleading look.
" It just makes me mad that you keep worrying about him while he doesn't even think about you"

" That's not true he cares about me. He's worried about me." I come to max defense, now sitting up straighter.

" But does he tho? He never even thought about how going back to that house and party would do to you. Did he even ask you?"

" He was just very excited about the party and Daniel so he didn't have time to think about it." I say, going into defense mode.

" There is always time to think and care about you." Carlos say with a soft voice, his eyes screaming at me to hear him and understand.

My defense that I build up quickly crumble with does words and eyes looking at me.

I don't have time to think about an answer before he slams his lips against mine. One of his hands is around my waist and the other is on my cheek to angle my face towards him
