Max's POV
After lunch Aletta had to make an act and react with Red and Adam. 'I don't know how to feel about her. When I'm around her I feel bubbly inside. When I look into her eyes time freezes. Then... Then she looks away and I go back not knowing how to fell about her all over again. I need to figure out these datura feelings!' I thought grabbing a sticky note. I wrote a quick note on it. I walked to her office and stuck it to her monitor. I walked back to my office gathered my things to go and headed out the door with Ross.
"Aren't you riding with Aletta?" He asked.
"She's with Adam recording a act and react," I explained climbing into the passengers seat. He nodded and drove home.
Your POV
I laughed and fell off the couch. I was recording an act and react with Red and Adam. Red had to be a duck he had to be eating. So he decides to do the thing were they flip under water to eat the plants. He freak'n fell over, and couldn't get back up. Me and Adam died, of course I did the only nice thing and sat there laughing at him like crazy. I walked back to my office wiping away a tear from laughter. I picked up my bag and noticed a bright blue thing on my monitor. I looked at it. 'A sticky note?'
I picked it up and read it.
Hey Aly,
after work you wanna go out to eat? Um meet me at the house and I'll get into more details. Think of where you wanna go.
-Mad Max
I basically I just stared at the thing for 3 mins, 'Dose he like me? Noo must be just some friendly jester we're friends no way he thinks of me as any thing else. Ya its just two bubbies hanging out nothing more nothing less,' I thought walking out the doors. I hopped in my car. As usual I turned on the radio and all about us came on I quickly changed it,' no lovey dovey songs no!' I'm gonna love you came on I changed it again, quite like you came on, 'ergh' I changed the channel once more, just the way you are. "NO!" I shouted and turned off the radio, 'This is gonna be a boring ride,' I thought turning a corner. I decided to turn on spotify.
Wolf in sheep's clothing came on. I nodded along to the beat. I pulled into the drive way. I walked in the house. Ross sat on the couch eating a bag of chips. I walked to Max's room to find him standing at the mirror tying up a dark red tie. He wore a nice white tee and black pants. I smiled. He turned around he saw me smiling at him and blushed.
Max's POV
I wanted to look appealing to the "date" so I got out a nice white shirt and black pants. Oh and a red tie. I was tying it up when I look to the left of my reflection. Aletta was standing there smiling at me. I quickly turned around and blushed. She giggled. I coughed, "so.. We going?" I asked looking at my feet. She nodded.
"Olive garden? (Cuz this story is so original😹)" she said. I nodded, "let me get changed I look so and under dressed." I smiled and walked out. Ross sat on the couch watching some anime. He looked and me whistled.
"Where you go'n look'n so fine?" He asked as my faced turned red.
"Taken Aly to Olive garden," I said shoving my hands in my pockets and staring at my feet.
"Oooh," he said wiggling his eye brows.
"Ross you wanna visit Irene?" I asked.
"No--" he said looking to his right. Aletta had walked out she looked beautiful, my heart started beating at 100 mph as she walked over to us, "please please let me get a picture for instagram!"
"No," we both said.
"Please!" He wined. She looked at me I looked back. She shrugged her shoulders.
"Fine," she said.
"Wha--!!" I exclaimed. She grabbed my arm. Ross pulled out his camera. She looked and me then back at the camera and stuck her tongue out. Ross took a picture.
"Hey! let me get a good one," he wined. I smirked at her and nodded. We both stuck our tongues out. He snapped a pic he crossed his arms. We laughed and headed out the door.
I turned on the radio. She looked at me. I smiled at her. Her face turned red, "is this a date?"
"Errm. I... N--yes," I said my face as red as a strawberry. She blushed.
"Cool!" She smiled. Which made me less of a nervous wreck. We pulled into Olive Garden. I parked and she hoped out the car waiting for me. I walked up next to her. She put her hand in mine and help tightly. I could feel her shaking, 'she was just as nervous as I was.' I tightened my grip a bit. We walked in.
"Hello and welcome to Olive garden!" An enthusiastic blonde said, "Will it just be the two?"
"Yep!" Aletta said.
"OK follow me to your table," she said walking to her right seating us, "your waiter will be with you shortly." She said walking off. Aletta and I sat there quietly. She picked up a drink menu, as did I. A brunette walked over to us, "hello!" She smiled, "I'm Victoria, I'll be your waiter for today. So we got an idea for drinks?"
"I'll have the kiwi/melon-limonata (yum fav😻)" Aletta said Victoria wrote it down and looked at me.
"Um I'll have a raspberry ice tea," I said she wrote that down two.
"Great I'll be right back with your drinks," she said and walked away.
"Errm... Aly I don't know you that much," I said, "So tell me a bit about yourself."
"Um OK, I'm Aletta j. Hart. I'm 20, my birthday is (b-d). My favorite song is (f/s). My favorite color is (f/c). I like to (hobby). (List some extra facts about yourself here)," she said. I nodded.
"Dream... G... V-Vacation? Or place to get away" I asked.
"Um... Honestly I'd say (place) doing I don't know maybe (activity)," she said
"Would you bring anyone along?" I asked.
"Humm it really would depend," she responded, "now what about you?"
"I'm Max. My birthday is November 15th, I'm 21." I said.
Your POV
Me and max talked a lot over dinner. I didn't tell him everything. He didn't either I could tell. The tone in his voice told me 'sorry Aly I just can't tell,' I respected that tone, and he stumbled over words changing, modifying. I didn't mind. We had finish our meal. I went for my wallet.
"No," he said pulling out a credit card. I smiled.
"Too bad," I said.
"Aly I'm paying," he said placing his card down on the check.
"So am I," I said placing mind down as well. He glared at me and our water came up.
"How was the food?" She asked.
"Good," we said. Max breaking his stare.
"Great, um which card are we using?" She asked, "or are should I split it between the two?"
"Spilt," I said before Max could say a word. She nodded and walked away. He looked at me and shook his head, "What it was the least I could do. You're letting me stay in you're house with out making me pay any type of bill."
"You don't need to worry about that," he said, "Its not like your living with us forever." I rolled my eyes. I smiled. Victoria came back with our checks and we headed out. As we were driving Max passed the apartment buildings. I tilted my head.
"Um.. Max where are we going?" I asked. He just smiled and turned on the radio. Country music, 'I wonder what he is up to,' I thought as we came off the main roads onto some back roads. He pulled up on a hill. He took my hand. We got to the top there it was Seattle. I gasped as stars twinkled, "OMG the city lights look soo pretty!" He laughed and I turned to him he had a small radio in his hand. He clicked play.
He held out his hand. I smiled and blushed. I took it. We danced. It was a beautiful time that I will never ever forget. He spun me and held me close to the music I hummed along to the song. He dipped me. I looked into his eyes and time froze. The music was nothing but blurred words. The world stopped spinning. The sky looked down at us smiling, along with the stars and planets. He pulled me closer. Max's POV
As I looked into her eyes the world stopped and stared smiling. Her eyes shinned brighter then I've ever seen full of hope, kindness, and love. I knew this was a good decision , I made the right choice. I pulled her close and smiled lifted her up. She giggled. We sat down in the grass. I held her close to her and she laid her head on my shoulder, "so how did you fine this place any way?"
"Every 4th of July the everyone would come up here and we would watch the fireworks," I explained, "It was always beautiful, even with out the fireworks." She nodded yawning, "we should probably get back huh?" I stood up holding out a hand to help her up. She took it I pulled her up. We headed to the car. She turned on the music. It was silent in the car we didn't talk. We got home. I pulled into the driveway, parked. We walked inside. Everyone was sleeping. She walked over to me smiling.
"Thanks Max that was the most fun I've had in a while," she whispered in my ear, she kissed me on the cheek. *Buzz* a fuzzy warn sensation flushed my cheek. My face turned tomato red. She smiled an headed in my room. I felt my cheek. *Buzz* I smiled, 'I like...no love Aletta J. Hart.'
Your POV
'OMG OMG He... He likes me!? Gahhh hahaha OMG right? That didn't seem like a friendly jester,' I thought as we drove to the house. We pulled into he driveway. In that house I whispered to Max, "Thanks, Max that was the most fun I've had in a while," I hestitated a bit but not enough for him to notice. I kissed him, it wasn't much of a kiss more of a peck on the cheek, but when I did it a burst of warmth and tingly feeling speed through out my whole body. I walked to his room popping onto the bed kicking off my shoes. I got up and changed into pj's. The day kept replaying in my head over and over again. After an half an hour I finally felt asleep.
