Falling For Him.

Chapter Ten:

Sun rays shone through the split in my curtains and blinded me as I slowly blinked myself awake, stretching and yawning, a small moan escaping me as I rubbed my eyes. I turned over and realised Max wasn't here. Sitting up, I looked around the room and even thought of calling for him but saw his shirt still on the floor.

Rubbing my chin, I hung my legs off of the bed and looked on the bedside table. A note sat there with something scrawled on it.

R/N.
Thank you for last night, it was brilliant.
You showed me how much you cared for me and made me realize how much I care for you.
Stay in bed as I'm cooking you breakfast.
-Maxie.

The note sent a warm, fuzzy feeling through my body and I slowly pulled it against my chest, shaking a little in happiness. I climbed back into bed and got under the duvet and sat up waiting for my meal.

About 2 minutes later I heard footsteps approaching and the smell of bacon, toast and orange juice began enveloping the room, making my mouth water. Max emerged from the hallway holding a tray with two plates and two glasses of juice on it. Upon seeing him shirtless I smiled, his orange body hair bleaching in the morning rays, forcing a smile to appear over me.

Max say down beside me, pulling the duvet over himself and placed the tray in between us. "Originally I only made you breakfast but I was hungry too so I made us both breakfast." He said smiling, looking at the tray. A plate of bacon sat beside a plate of toast and two glazes of orange juice on either side.

"Oh orange juice!" I said happily, grabbing a glass and gulping it down, washing away my morning breath.

"I know how much you love orange." Max winked, giggling at his pun. I rolled my eyes and place the glass on the tray, snatching a slice of toast and ripping into it.

"I sure do." I said in between mouthfuls.

About half an hour later and Max had taken the finished breakfast to the kitchen while I got in the shower, I heard the tv turn on as I stepped out and I dried and got dressed, throwing on an Undertale t shirt and some dark blue jeans.

I walked into the living room and Max was wearing the same clothes from yesterday. I sat down beside him and snuggled up, resting my head on his shoulder and wrapping my arms around his. He smiled and rested one hand on my knee, not averting his eyes from the tv.

"I love Undertale." Max said quietly, noticing my shirt. I smiled and looked down at it and laughed.

"Me too!"

"Something else we have in common!" Max laughed. "We both love bacon, the colour orange, Undertale, our jobs." Max listed things. I laughed.

"We're perfect!" I said. Max paused and looked at me, a smile slowly appearing over his face. Suddenly he stood up and stretched, a face of contemplation appearing.

"We are perfect, ain't we?" He said rhetorically.

"Yeah..." I said, drifting off. We hadn't really spoken about a relationship. I stood up beside Max and gave an awkward smile. "So... what do you think?" I asked, fear burning over me as I asked the question.

"Uh..." Max stuttered, rubbing his beard while he thought.

"Max I feel very strongly about you... I uh..." I began saying.

"Yeah, me too about you. So... that's why..." Max tried to form a sentence. I did too.

A knock at the door interrupted us, scaring us even. Max jumped back and punched the air in embarrassment.

"Max you in there?" Ross called through the door. I walked over and answered it, giving Ross a smile.

"Hi Ross." I said, gesturing for him to come in. He nodded and walked in, looking at Max in shock.

"Did you stay here last night?" Ross said, crossing his arms, a small, knowing smile stretching across his face. Max blushed and looked at me, Ross turned to me and gave me a burning expression.

"So what if he did?" I said defensively.

"Nothing. Nothing." Ross said, putting his hands up. Still smiling.

"Yeah I did." Max said proudly, Ross turned to Max in slight shock. "I stayed over with R/N." Max smiled happily.

"What did you two... Uh... get up to then?" Ross chuckled.

"Naughty things." Max winked. Even I was taken aback by his honest answer and I walked over to him, both looking at Ross with smug smiles on our faces.

"Uh..." Ross stuttered. "Are you two..?" Ross questioned, genuine confusion appearing on his face. Max turned to me, giving me the same face as Ross. He grabbed my hands and held them in his in between us, smiling.

"We are." Max whispered. Ross stepped closer.

"Say again?" He asked, his hand extending in an awkward fashion.

"We're together." I turned, hugging Max's arm, smiling proudly at Ross. Max did the same, putting his hand on his waist and smiling.

"Good for you Max. You too R/N." Ross said somewhat awkwardly. I don't think he expected a honest answer. "Anyway, Max, I'm going out tonight so the place is all yours." Ross said, a small smile appearing again as he looked at me.

"We're actually going out ourselves tonight." Max answered. I gave a confused expression and looked up at Max.

"We are?" I asked, pulling away slightly in shock.

"I wanna take you to a movie, R/N." Max smiled. Ross waved and walked out, leaving us to discuss this. We went and sat down on the couch.

"Are you asking me out?" I asked sarcastically.

"Well... Yeah, sorta. Isn't that what partners do?" Max asked sarcastically, nudging me.

"Yeah, yeah. I just..." I drifted off.

"Don't worry. We can come back and you can have somma dis afterwards." Max winked, taunting me. I smiled and leaned in, kissing Max, my tongue grazing his lower lip. He leaned forward too, his tongue entering my mouth as we slowly kissed eachother.

Max's hand reached round to the back of my head and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss, his beard scratching my face, his other hand gripping my arm. I pushed in deeper and moaned into his mouth, letting him lick my lips.

"I'll take that as a yes to the date then." Max whispered. I smiled and kissed him again, pushing him down on the couch as we laid there, watching daytime tv.

(Author- sorry this chapter isn't really that good. I'm tired, upset and laying out the foundation of the next plot so yeah, sorry.)
