"I am falling for you." he said as he cupped my face into his large hands.
I shook my head and pushed his hands away.
"No you're not. You don't know me. As far as I can tell, I'm just another girl who answered your Ad in the newspaper."

Mee...
Yoooo can you believe that 2016 is almost over? Like that's crazy. Shit be going by really fast.

"Come on, you gotta help me finish decorate Max." I whined.
Max slumps even more on the couch and closed his eyes, pretending to be sleeping. I smile evilly and took his glass of water from the counter. I slowly walk towards him and prepared to spill the water on his face. Right when I tipped the glass he grabs my wrist with his eyes closed.
"Don't even think about it Teixeira." He opens his eyes and chuckled.
I pouted and put the glass on the coffee table. I plopped down next to him and look at the fall decors that Max and I have put up.
There were fake pumpkins by the entrance door. Fall leaves on the cabinets. I swapped the cushions for fall shades. We also made a rustic tray and put some of my favorite candles and a few pinecones.
I look over at Max and started a little. He has a little bit of facial hairs. His hair was short because he got a haircut a few days ago. And his tan was almost gone. While staring at him I couldn't help but think that he was very attractive. Maybe a little bit more than Alaric.
Speaking of the devil.
We haven't really talked much since what happened a week ago. I went to work and did what I had to do. Alaric had apologized and I forgave him. But we weren't the same for some reason. When I asked him where he was that night he just said he was out with a "friend". And he just left it at that.
Friend my ass.
I haven't really told Max about what happened. Only Jen knows. I don't wanna be that person who tells everybody about her problems with her boyfriend.
"Are you hungry?" Max asked out of nowhere. I snapped out of my thoughts and look at him.
"A little. But I don't have food in the fridge. We're gonna have to eat out."
He got up and stretched. His shirt rose up a little showing his v-line and little hairs.
"Okay. My treat, though."
......
Max ended up driving us to a pizzeria called "LOMBARDI'S COAL OVEN PIZZA".
Apparently it is the first pizzeria to be open in Amarica in 1905.
Even though the pizza and chicken wings were finger licking good, I wasn't happy.
I missed Al.
I missed his touch. I honestly miss Alaric more than I've ever missed anyone. He means more to me than anyone. I am in love with him. The way he makes me feel is the best feeling in the world. I love him because he knows how to treat me well and he can make me laugh when I'm feeling down or when I'm mad.
"...okay?" Max asked snapping his fingers in my face.
"I'm sorry, what?"
Max chuckles and wipes the excess blue cheese on his bottom lip. "I asked if you're okay?"
