Chapter 4: Everyone's Job is in the Kitchen

A/N: If you've gotten this far, what the hell. Thank you :) This chapter's a bit of a filler. But hey, still useful. BTW; there might be a bunch of errors in this chapter, I didn't proofread it. Sorry.

I opened my eyes due to the light beaming through the window towards me. Today was the day. The day that my best friend would be leaving my side. And she's not even spending the whole day with me. Currently she's in New Jersey with her family. But she'll be back by this afternoon.

In the meantime, I'm just here laying on my bed and staring at the white pasty ceiling. What will I do once she's gone? I've never really had to face college without her. I ran into her during orientation, and totally hit it off. I mean who wouldn't? She's the perfect balance of crazy and sanity. I absolutely adore her. Ping

Good Morning Milady. -Max. He honestly didn't even have to sign that. I mean who else says that? I'm not gonna lie though. That totally made me smile.

Oh my, chivalry hasn't died. -V

Lmao. As long as I'm alive it won't be ;) Wanna hang? I'm bored. -Maxwell

Your name's Maxwell? Wtf. -V I send back. I see three dots appear, showing that he is typing something. It suddenly stops. Rude.

Before I could put my phone down Ring Ring Ring.

Of course it was Max. "Ello Darlin'"

"Hey Maxwell. What's up?"

"Firstly, I wish my name was Maxwell. But it ain't. So I'm like bored as fuck. Wanna meet up and work on that chemistry report due in a couple of days? We might as well get it over with."

"Haha, man you are soo needy."

"Only for you, babe. So what do you say?" I can just see him smirking.

"Yeah sure. Just tell me the where and when."

"I'll pick you up in thirty." And with that he hung up. Demanding.

I crawl out of bed. And trek through the messy room. It's almost as if a tornado had hit us. I take a quick shower and tie my hair up in a classic messy bun.

Ping

I'm outside your building, hurry up and come down. The doorman won't let me in.- Knight in shining armor.

Ite. -Not your damsel in distress, actually the troll. I smile and hit send.

I quickly grab my laptop and two protein bars and shove them into my messenger bag, and make my way down to the lobby.

Once I get to the lobby, I see Max chatting up the doorman. "I'm here, let's go." I tap Max's shoulder.

He turns around and flashes me a smile. "Yeah onesec. Could you first tell Eduardo I'm not some riff raft and that he'll be seeing me more often, so he should get used to me."

"Ma'am I genuinely thought he was some creep like the other ones. So is he on the okay list?" Eduardo asks.

"Oh it's no problem. Actually he is a creep, but he's on the okay list." From the corner of my eyes I can see max's jaw hanging.

"Got it. Have a good day, miss and creep." He waves at us.

Max gestures for me to follow, and I fall into his step. "So you've got creeps, huh?"

"Haha yeah, a story for another time though. So where are we headed?"

"My folk's place." We reach a Silver Acura MDX. A classic family vehicle.
