Max left after that to get washed up and I sat in the bed a couple more days. Max staying with me as much as possible until I was discharged. We arrive back at his apartment, I stare in awe it's so big. I always thought it was a house from the inside. I actually ended up gaining weight since I went into the hospital, I guess that's a wonderful thing. As I'm walking toward the bedroom Max stops me.
"I got something for you," he said, pulling me down to the next room next to the bedroom. Opening the door, I walked in to find a queen-size canopy bed with an art station and 2 dressers and a closet. "This is your new room do you um like it" he said rubbing his neck.
"Like it... I love it thank you thank you thank you" I laugh hugging him.
"Welp I'm going to leave you to settle in. I'll check on you a little later" he said rubbing his neck and walking down the hall. I watched him go sighing. I closed the door. I know he bought me and all but I actually think he's nice. I could have ended up with someone completely worse. If anything I'm lucky to have met him. I don't really mind staying here a whole year. Maybe I'll actually enjoy myself. Hmmm now what to do. Looking around the room. My eyes land on the easel I know I'll paint something. Picking the brightest colors out and started to paint a girl with brown hair jumping up and down on a teal queen size bed. I don't know how long I was sitting there, I thought as I finished the painting. Right as I put the brush down there was a knock at the door.
"Come in" I yelled, standing up and brushing off my pants. Max walks in his warm calming scent reaches my nose.
"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me" he asked. What does he mean out does he mean like a date like brother and sister friends, how do I answer? I've never really went out much people aren't my strong suit. What if I embarrass myself or him. He must have noticed my expression because he quickly put his hand through his hair. "Uh... I ... mean like... to get um something.... to uh... eat... not as a... date or anything..." he stuttered. We stood there in awkward silence for a while. I've never been out for food before I don't really wanna pass up this chance.
"Of course I'll go" I laugh. We walk out of the apartment and got into the elevator. Let's just say the trip in the elevator was boring and awkward. When we hit car garage level we ran out of the elevator and into the car.
"So Amelia I don't really know much about you so before we get there I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU" he laughs. I assume as an attempt to break the awkward silence.
"Sure" I said back drawing my attention to the landscape out the window.
"Well, um, what's your favorite food?" he asked. Well, let's see I never really ate much food that I liked just what we could afford.
"Um, I guess applesauce" I mumble.
"Why apple sauce?" he asks back. I sigh slightly I assume since he already know my family sold me for money I might as well explain.
"Growing up I didn't eat much food and out of the cheap stuff we ate I like applesauce" I mumbled. He looks over at me his eyes showing concern before turning to determination.
"Amelia, we will fill you with so many yummy foods" he laughs. "What's your favorite um color" he asks awkwardly as if he doesn't know what else to ask.
"I like the color white... listen I know to some it's not a color but I like it like the beautiful white wedding dresses. It's a color of purity. And also don't you have better questions?" I laugh. He looks at me and smirks mischievously.
"Okay then how many guys have you dated, have you kissed a boy, or you know done anything with one" he asked kinda rubbing his neck. Turning toward him I opened my mouth but closed it quickly and turned back to the window, I don't even know why I won't answer he already knows I'm a virgin. After a while of silence we pulled up to a monumental building. Stepping out of the car, I look around taking it all in. "Hey Amelia before we go in I just wanted to apologize about what I asked in the car" he say putting his hand through his hair. I stood there staring at the ground I will just answer him awkwardness makes me way nervous slowly I opened my mouth.
"No, I've never dated a guy I've never kissed one had sex or any of that stuff you do with boys I don't even know," I quickly said. I watch as his eyes seem to relax as of relief is flooding over him.
"Hey it's ok come on let's go inside before you catch a cold" he said patting my head then pulling me against him. The pine and lavender calm me instantly. This smell made me so comfortable it felt like a safe home.
