Just Another Romance... (A Max Schneider FanFic)

Chapter 3 ~ Best Friends?

He sat and smiled as I answered probably the 100th question he asked. This one was what my idea of a perfect date was. I thought it was kinda weird but I answered anyways.

"Well, for a first date, I would say just a stroll around town or something like that. Nothing big. After that, I'd like to have a date at home, cooking together or watching a movie."

"Okay. I have no idea what else to ask," he said thinking to himself. Suddenly he got an idea, "Wanna be best friends?"

"Of course!" I said cheerily. He reached out to me for a hug. I hugged him tightly and instantly knew I would be safe around him. Something about him seemed so protective and caring. I loved it. Now I had a best friend who was amazingly funny and a total hottie.

I decided to get up and make dinner.

"What do you want for dinner, Max?" I asked casually. I loved cooking for people.

"You don't need to cook me anything. I'll just go home."

"Nope, sit your ass down. I'm cooking for ya!" I stated. He chuckled softly and came up next to me.

"Let's cook something together." He said sweetly, almost like he had some hidden idea in his tone. I blew it off. We were just best friends. He wasn't thinking anything more than that.

We cooked tacos and ate while watching movies. Eventually a yawn escaped my mouth. I didn't want Max to leave though.

"Well, that sounds like my cue to leave." He said softly while showing that award winning smile. I let out a small whimper.

"Please stay Max." I said sadly.

"Riley, your tired. You have my number, text me." He said and grabbed his hat, which somehow ended up on my head, and stood up. I gave the best puppy dog face I could. "Riley, don't. Go to bed. I'll talk you tomorrow. I'll even show you around town."

"Max, I don't want to be left alone. I'm in a totally new state. This is kinda scary. Please, just stay for tonight. I even have a spare bedroom."

"Alright, but just tonight. Now go to bed baby." He said hugging me and I could have sworn he kissed my head. He went down the hall to the extra room and right before he went in, he stopped and turned around to wink at me before slowly entering the room. I blushed like crazy and went to my room. Tonight was a great night.
