"Max, I think you're hiding something from me." I murmur, spinning on my heels to face him.

He looks at me, eyeing me from head to toe. I gulp hard, just the way he looks at me makes me forget everything. "Why would I hide something from you?" He gets up, taking a step towards me.

I pretend to think, putting my finger under my chin, "I don't know but who knows, you might be, yeah? It's just a feeling I am getting in the pit of my stomach." Okay, that just sounded a hundred times more awkward than asking a girl whether she's on her period or not.

I don't miss his raise of the eyebrow as he takes another step forward, towering above my small figure as compared to him.

I don't know if I'm too short or he's too tall.

"Let's play a game, okay? And if you win, I'll let you know what I'm hiding. Simple as that. But... If I win Clarke," he rolls his tongue and winks at me, "If I win, you have do something that I say, anything I say. Okay?"

He slams his hands down on the wooden table, tilting his head to his right he says, "Deal?"

What could even be his little "game" like...isn't he a little too old for this? I mentally debate the pros and cons of the challenge. Turning my eye into slits, I piped up, "Deal!"

"Atta-girl, that's the spirit!" He thrusts his hand in my direction that I gratefully take. Shaking it, I whisper, "You're going down Anderson."

"Oh, keep on dreaming Clarke. Keep on dreaming." He smirked.

He took my hand and led me to his living room, with no one around the place, things sure were to get heated.

And I swear, I've never been more excited in my life like I was right now.

"Sit," he grasped my shoulders in his hands and pushed me down on the couch. Whereas he flopped down on the couch in front of me. "Okay, let's get started. Here's the thing about this game, I personally love this game and I'd do anything to win, because damn, I just don't lose. You're in for a hell of a challenge Sophia Clarke." He rubbed his hands together like he was getting prepared.

I swallow hard, a huge lump forming in my throat, what does he even have in that dirty mind of his?

Does this game of his involve me taking of my clothes or something...?

"Tell me already!"

"Patience girlfriend, patience." He licked his upper lip, "Here's the thing, you and I, will go head to head in this game. This is the game where I say a pickup line and you have to say another pickup line better than that. Got it? First one to laugh it off loses. Yes, laughing is not allowed. Are we clear?"

My jaw almost touched the floor, seriously? Pickup lines? I would never be able to beat him at that. The worst part is, I know I'll lose even before the game has started.

"Okay, I'll do it. I'm ready." I say, yes, because I know I have to get this thing he's hiding out of him.

Besides, it's not like I don't know any pickup lines. I've seen Sean do it all the time.

This wasn't a biggie.

He mischievously smirked at me, "What are we waiting for then? Let's get started!"

I have never seen Max more excited than he is now. Gee, he must really like this...No, love this game. After all, why wouldn't he? It's not like he has the collection of the best pickup lines, right?

Which, for the record he must have used on numerous girls just to get in their pants.

"Okay, shoot, you first." I say and he cocks an eyebrow. Not even fighting about how he gets the first turn.

After a minute of silent contemplation he was ready, "Let's commit the perfect crime, you steal my heart and I'll steal yours'."

I was about to burst into laughter but didn't.

Remember the rules Sophia, I tell myself.

He was so good at this, "Do you have a bandage, because I just scraped my knee falling for you," I came up with this and was about to laugh on my own line.

Max seemed to close his eyes, containing the laughter filling up inside of him. He even put a hand on his eyes. Now, it was his turn and I was eager to hear from him.

"I'm really afraid of the dark, would you sleep with me tonight?" He says and I fall on the floor, nope, not gonna laugh.

"If I had to choose between breathing and loving you, I'd use my last breath to say I love you," he snarled and I smiled at that.

Such a flirt, said two at a time.

He's a pro when it comes to kinkery things like this.

"I'm not a photographer, but I can picture us together," I was amazingly surprised at how good I was.

He sucked in a breath, "Do you buy your pants on sale? Because at my place they are at 100% off."

A small giggle left my mouth but I quickly covered my mouth, my turn, "Oh look," I held up my hand, "My hand is big enough for you to hold onto."

Damn, I was good at this shot and I was having a lot of fun. Just like Max, he had his stomach clenched, ready for his turn, "Nice shirt, can I take you out of this?"

I bit down my lip and closed my eyes, no I won't laugh, "I'll treat you like homework, I'll slam you down on the table and do you all night long." He turned around from me at that and yanked his hair.

Let's see how much more you can handle, Anderson.

Max said, still turned around, "If you were a booger, I'd pick you first."

That was it, I laughed my freaking ass off on that one. How did he even get that one?! My mind is going go stop functioning after this, I swear.

We both fell to the floor and laughed our butts off. Max had his hand clenched to his stomach and I was literally crying tears of laughter.

"You lost, told ya I'm a pro." He smirked and stood up, giving me his hand he pulled me up from the floor.

"Okay, yeah. You won. Now, what do you want me to do?

He contemplated, stroking his chin that had a light layer of scruff on it, "Sophia," he said like there was a light bulb lit above his head.

"What?"

"I want you to give me a lap dance on my birthday which is two weeks away." He smirked.
