I'm Not Mad [Discontinued]

part 3

Conflict

Maybe there is one thing that I should've pointed out...no one knows of Max...well, my friends from school, like Josh for instance. I'm not saying my entire family knows but in a sense they do. Maybe it was the fact my father; whom is never around is my only family. He had also told Max if he blows his cover he'll get fired. Which I don't understand if Max is my bodyguard after all.

Claire snap out of it! Max is two seconds away from beating the shit out of Josh and just-

I didn't think before I acted so I pulled Josh back towards me and kissed him, hard! It didn't last since I felt nothing towards Josh. Once I broke the kiss that meant nothing, I look over at Max to see...hurt? Why does he look hurt?

"Max! Seriously, I want some privacy with my man! Now if you could so kindly as to leave?" Okay, a bit harsh, and not the brightest plan but I couldn't just stand there and gawk.

"So, you go into a bathroom and act like some kind of whore?" Ouch, that hurt but I deserved it. I really was acting like a whore.

"I'm seventeen Max, I'll be eighteen next month besides there are girls that are much younger than me doing way worse."

"Yeah, but your not like most girls." Whoa back up! So he sees me not like most girls? Did that mean...okay Claire don't get your opens up but I couldn't help for what it did to my stomach; that fluttery feeling. I was  also trying too hard to hold back a smile.

"Are you her boyfriend or something? If not can you just shut the door behind ya? Thanks." Who was that? Oh yeah, Josh. I totally forgot he was in here.

"Okay, this is a total mood killer I'm going home." Okay, this plan of mine is going smoothly, no fights, no-

"What the hell did you just say?" -drama. I look over at Max who looked like he was going to rip Josh's head off any moment, uh-oh.

"Max, lets just go okay?" So much for the plan...

"Your leaving with this guy?" Josh points out looking hurt.

"Er-yeah he's my..." Think Claire, think! "Cousin! He's my cousin." Yes, I'm in love with my cousin also Josh I thought you would like to knw. Ha-ha your so sick Claire.

"Oh, well why leave? Just stay and part-ay!" Josh laughed except nor I or Max was laughing...who laughs at their own worlds, honestly? when looked over at Max he didn't seem enthused..well, I know when it's my time to leave.

 "Sorry Josh, I gotta go, we're having a family funeral tomorrow." I lied, trying to sound as sad as possible.

"Funeral? Awe Claire-bear who died?" Josh said in his cute kid voice.

"My er-god mother's aunt's sister-in-law's son's twin brother." Holy shit that's so confusing but because of his simple mind, it'll take him a while to figure it out or he'll just give up on it all together.

"Oh, I'm sorry." He sympthezied giving me a big bear hug, but I could tell by his expression that he was really confused but like I had guessed, he's giving up on figuring out all together. "Hey! What are you doing Sunday?" He asked ending the hug and holding me out in arm length.

"Er-nothing I guess?" It was more than a question or a statement. "Why?" He can be so confusing at times.

"Because you and I are going to watch Brides Maids!" Ladies and gentlemen I would like to present the  REAL Josh. That is when he isn't so intoxicated, you can so tell he's really starting to sober up. Sometimes I wonder if he's gay? A guy going to watch a chick-flick comedy? I hate chick-flicks but it's a movie filled with comedian women...wouldn't he rather sit home and watch 'The Expendables'? Now that's a guy movie.
