Max's POV

Chloe backs out of the driveway and starts driving towards Two Whales. I look at all of my surroundings and enjoy the landscape as Chloe puts on some music. I reach in my bag and take out the photo of me and her, staring and smiling at it in my hands. Chloe looks over at me and takes to photo out of my hand. She leans it against the bobblehead on her dashboard, ensuring that it doesn't fall off. I look at the picture, then at her and smile. Chloe reaches her hand out to my lap and I intertwine my fingers with her, griping her soft hand tightly.

------------------------

We pull up to Two Whales and Chloe parks her car in the parking lot. She gets out of the car and walks around to open my door for me. "Thanks Chloe." I kissed her on the cheek and walked past her.

Chloe grabs my hand. "Hey that's it? I drive you to the diner, I walked all this way to open the door for you, I'm about to pay for your breakfast and all I get is a kiss on the cheek? Wow babe. Thanks a lot." Dramatic much, Chloe?

I giggle and tease her, pulling myself close to her and grabbing the bottoms of her tank top, "I don't think it's considered breakfast if it's 3 in the afternoon." I say raising an eyebrow.

Chloe rolled her eyes at me. "FIne whatever lunch. You're such a tease Caulfield. I hella have to do everything around here."She says sarcastically leaning down and kissing me. I kiss her back. The kiss seemed like forever, but I didn't want to let go. We finally pull away at the sound of Chloe's stomach screaming at me.

"My stomach is hella pissed let's go in." Chloe says grabbing my hand and pulling my towards the entrance.

We walk in on the smell of fresh bacon and coffee. My hunger starts to get to me. We seat ourselves at our normal booth near the jukebox and I put my bag down next to me on the booth. Chloe and I sat across from each other and waited for Joyce to be done with the other customers.

Chloe reaches over and holds my hand and we end up getting lost in each others eyes, again. I mean how can you resist those beautiful blue eyes of hers. They're hypnotizing and I can't take my eyes off of them. Suddenly my focus was broken by the sound of Joyce's voice. "Well my, what do we have here?" Joyce says smirking and raising an eyebrow. I start to turn bright pink, as pink as my hair. I'm lost for words.

Chloe quickly spoke up with confidence, "Max and I are dating." She squeezes my hand and looks at me. I smile back at her.

Joyce responded with a big smile, "I knew it. I'm so happy for you two." I look at her with wide eyes, happy that she's so supportive. "If it wasn't for the hand holding and the kissing outside, I would've already guessed looking at Max's hair. You must really love Chloe that much to let her do something that drastic to you."

Chloe spoke up, "Oh she didn't have a choice but to let me." She said with a mischevious grin on her face.

"I lost a game....." I was cut off my Chloe.

"She cheated." She rolled her eyes.

I raised an eyebrow and looked into her eyes, "and this was my consequence. But I actually really love it." I ended with a giggle and looked up at Joyce.

"My, it sure sounds like you two had loads of fun. Anyway, here's the big question. What would you two like to eat?"

Me and Chloe look at each other trying to read each other's minds. We both say simultaneously, "Bacon omelette."

Joyce laughs, "Alright lovebirds, coming right up." She walks away from over table with a kind smile.

Chloe then grabs my arm from across the table and has her signature evil smirk on her face. I look deep in her eyes, trying to read her. "What are you thinking about in that big head of yours?" I say narrowing my eyes towards her.

"I think we need a little something to match that hella awesome hair of yours." Chloe says winking at me. Wasn't the hair enough Chloe? 

I raised my eyebrow Chloe. "What exactly do you have in mind?"

"You'll see." She says with a smirk on her face. 

Joyce comes back with two plates with huge, steaming bacon omelettes on each of them. Thank goodness I'm starving! We thank Joyce for the food and dig in. I look down at the grub and take a big bite. Sooooo good. I look back up at Chloe and then to her plate. Her omelette was half way gone. I underestimated her hunger. Chloe looks up at me, with her mouth full of mouth, and smiles a little, then went back to her food. 

Chloe notices me staring at her shoveling the food into her mouth. "You getting jealous of the food, babe?" She says jokingly.

I giggle a bit, covering my mouth. "Maybe just a little." Chloe laughs and we both finish off the last of our meals. Joyce comes back over when we where all done and takes our plates from us.

"Don't you worry girls, lunch is on the house today?" Joyce said, "You girls look so happy together. Be safe." And with that, Chloe and I say goodbye to Joyce, exit Two Whales and climb into Chloe's car.

Chloe blankly stared at the road, not saying a word. "So where are we going now?"

Chloe looked over to me at the corner of her eye. "We're going to make you a hella punk Caulfield."

I was confused by her words. "What? I think I'm fine being a photographer hippie. I don't think punk is really my style Che."

Chloe scoffed, "You don't have a style, babe. It's gonna be hella okay. You got your trusty captain here to guide you mate!" She winked and grabbed my thigh. Now how can I say no? I ended up going with the flow and just sat back and relaxed while Chloe took charge.

We pulled up to a local store. It definitely looked like Chloe's type of store. We got out of the car and walked in. There was a lot of black clothing. Chloe went up to the register and greeted the employees. I guess Chloe's a regular here. I go up next to her and smile at the guy behind the counter. "We're here to give my hippie girlfriend here a new look." Chloe says.

The guy looked me up and down. "Love the hair color, dude. It's so rad." 

I giggle. "Thank you." Chloe takes me to the back of the store and starts picking different pieces of clothing off the walls and the shelves. She  would put some shirts against my body and some jackets. It's cute to see Chloe so focused like this. I trust her with whatever she chooses. After she was done picking out a few shirts, pants, and jackets, we go to the register. Chloe payed for the clothes and we walked out of the store. We hop into the car and Chloe leans over and kisses me passionately and I kiss her back. I love Chloe so much, words can't describe how happy and safe I feel with her.

--------------------------------------

We get back to Chloe's house and go straight up to her room. She lays out the clothes and starts to put together an outfit. I sit at her desk and watch her work. After a few minutes, Chloe throws the outfit into a bundle and throw them at me. "Here try that on." She said.

I decided to just change there in her room, instead of going to the bathroom. I see at the corner of my eye Chloe trying not to stare at me change. She's so adorable. I finish putting on the outfit and look in the mirror. Wowser. I look so different... but... I kind of like it. I wore denim shorts with black see-through tights, a black, loose tshirt with a white doe on it and roses, a fitted leather jacket, a black beanie, and to tie it together black, shiny doc martens. I turn around to show Chloe. She looks up at me and her eyes widen. "Fuck, babe. I did a hella good job! You look fucking gorgeous!" Chloe walks up and wraps her arms around my waist and looks deep into my eyes. We look at each other for a while until we leaned in for a kiss. We got lost in the kiss that seemed like forever. We pulled away and I smiled into her eyes. 

"I love you so much Chloe." I say looking deep into her eyes.

"I love you too Maxi-Pad." Chloe says, leaning in for another kiss, this time even more passionate then the first one.
