Remembering Our Dance |Shelax|

Chapter 25

Shelby

I ran into Red on the stairs.

"Was it you?"

"Me? What did I do?"

"Not you then." I pushed him (not hard) out of the way and kept running.

I saw Adam talking to Max and Barney.

"Was it any of you?" I asked hoping that it wasn't Max.

"Was what any of me?" They all said.

"Shelby, what's wrong?" Max asked me.

"No time. Only answers." I said and walked towards the porch outside.

I saw Ross.

"Oh shoot." Ross said.

"Was it you?" I asked him.

He stuttered. "N-No."

"You tell no one. You hear me? Absolutely no one or you're in serious trouble. Okay?"

"Y-Yes." Ross said.

I turned around to see Max behind me.

"What's the matter?" Max asked me. "Ross what did you do?"

"NOthing! I sWeaR!" Ross's voice cracked a little.

I laughed. "He did nothing. How about we take a walk on the beach!" I said.

"Sure!" Max said.

He grabbed my hand and we ran out into the sand.

Once we made it to the actual beach, I took off my shoes and felt the warm sand heat up my feet.

But that all stopped when Max picked me up and walked towards the water.

"AH!" I screamed.

Max laughed.

"Let me down! Let me down!"

"If you say so." Max said before fake dropping me.

"Ah! You dick!" I said. "Let me down away from the water!"

"Oh! Is that what you meant?" Max smiled at me.

I went in for a kiss, but threw water at his face, which caused him to drop me.

"Ah!" I screamed for the billionth time.

"That's what you get!" Max yelled.

I stood in the water.

Max stood in the water.

"I love you." He said to me.

I smiled. "I love you too."

I leaned in to kiss him, but instead, water was launched at me face.

"MAX!" I yelled.

Max laughed.

"Oh. Did you not want that to happen?"

"You're an idiot." I smiled.

"No, you're an idiot."

And we kissed.
