The Blind Date

Chapter 15: Texas

Robbie's POV

I woke up with Maxine leaning against me. I had my arm wrapped around her and her head was against my chest as she slept. I smiled at the memories of the amazing night we had. No, we didn't...you know..."do the do". We made out. A lot. I don't think either of us are ready to go any further yet. I mean...we haven't even dated for a year. I got a text from my manager that made my smile grow. The director for OAUT was taking a vacation, which meant we get another break from filming. Careful not to wake Max, I got off the couch and went to the bathroom. When I came back, Max was starting to wake up. She hadn't opened her eyes, but she groaned as she stretched in her sleep. I smiled when I saw the mark I left on her neck. I walked over to her and kissed the same place on her neck where I left the hickey. Her sweet spot. The spot that made her moan so much last night. She squirmed a little bit, but smiled. I decided to wake her up in an...interesting way. I started sucking on that one spot on her neck. She moaned and put her hands in my hair, tugging a little bit. When she did that, it felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest. I pulled away from her and smiled at her reaction.

Max: Well, good morning to you too.

Me: Good morning, love. I have two pieces of good news.

Max: OK. Do I want to know the good news first or the other good news?

Ms: Good news. OK, so I got a text from my mom and sisters last night after you fell asleep. My whole family absolutely loves you, as I knew they would.

She smiled.

Max: Oh, yeah. I didn't tell you yesterday.

Me: Yeah, we were a little...

Max: Occupied. And how on God's green Earth am I supposed to cover this up?!

She put her hand over the spot where I left the hickey. I moved her hand, looked at it, and smiled.

Me: I did pretty good, didn't I?

Max: No! This is not good.

Ms: By guy standards, it is. Anyways, you were saying?

Max: Your family is so nice.

Me: I told you you're beautiful without make-up, but nooo. Maxine Gilmore just wouldn't believe it. Anyways, the second piece of good news is that we have another break from filming. I want to spend time with you and I was thinking you could come to Texas with me and meet some of my old friends.

Max: I thought you lived in Lymington.

Me: I did for a while, but then I moved to America and I lived in Texas. So, what do you think?

Max: On one condition.

Me: What is that?

Max: The next break you have, you're coming with me to London to meet some of my "friends".

Me: A trip to the UK? I'm in.

Max: Good. So...when are we going to Texas?

Me: Depends on when you'll be ready. If you pack your bags today, we can leave tomorrow.

Max: I just gotta check with my parents and make sure thdy don't need me to take care of Jared or anything.

Me: Jared likes horses, right?

Max: Loves them. Why?

Me: He can come. My uncle owns a ranch, which is where we'd be staying. We can give your parents a break.
