BLS #4 : Stabbed By Rose

Chapter 29 - Bet Again

Rose Hastington

My eyes are tired because I've been typing and looking at the screen for 5 hours. I need a break for awhile , I stretch my arms out when suddenly someone knocked my door.

I told whoever that is to come in , I looked at the door and find Max walking in with a file in his hand. I sighed looking at that

"Again?" I asked

"What? What do you mean again?" He asked me confuse

"Work.." I pointed at the file and he chuckled

"This is mine and why do you think of that?"

"It's because you came into my office and you're going to give me more work.." I said and he chuckled , sitting in front of my desk

"No no.. I just wanted to tell you that we have to go France to meet Mr. Boston"

"With Luke and Alex?" I asked

"Add Angel in it" Max smiled and my eyes light up

"She will come?" I asked excited

"Yes she will , Alex said since she's on a break so he asked her if she wants to join and she want it" I squealed in happiness

"You look tired , let's switch" He said and I looked at him weirdly

"What?" I asked and he stood up , pulling my arm so I stood up from my chair. He sits down and gestured me to sit in front of my desk

"Max I ca-" He still gesturing me to sit down and I walked there sititng down. Closing my eyes and take a sipped of my not so hot again starbucks. I looked at him and just looking at him typing , his eyes stuck on the screen and his hand typing.

I don't know why.. I felt my heart is beating weirdly again. Looking this new side of him is just.. new to me. He often order me around and just act the usual Max but I love this side of him. I suddenly remember that I put big tub of vanilla and chocolate ice cream on my small fridge. Let's just share with him.

I walked to my small fridge and taking it out from the freezer. Taking a spoon on the cupboard and walked back to my desk. I opened up the tub and put one spoon beside Max's hand. He looked at it and looked up

"Ice cream?" I asked smiling and he smiled

"You have 2 tubs of ice cream at your office?" He asked and chuckled. I nodded

"You will need it.. it's a really good mood booster you know" I said and he nodded. Taking the spoon and start scooping the chocolate one. He loves chocolate , call him choco mania.

"The dark chocolate that you gave me.. it's all gone. I ate it all in 2 hours" He said and I looked at him disbelief

"You ate it all in one day?"

"Yeah it's really good"

"Max it's 80% dark cocoa.. it's not swee-"

"It's delicious" He said as he put another scoop to his mouth. This guy is unbelievable.. He continue to type again and again , I feel bad

"Max.." I called and he looked up to me

"Huh?"

"Let's switch again.. I'm not tired anymore"

"A little more.. a little more" He said and I shook my head. I walked to him and taking his arm. Pulling up so he will get up but he's not moving a bit

"Max.. I'll do it"

"No no.. a little more. Just sit comfortably there , I'll finish this" He said as he locked his eyes on the screen , I pulled his arm but he didn't care

"Max!" Still he's ignoring me until I gave up. I walked back and sit again. Scooping the vanilla ice cream to my mouth

"Have you eat lunch?" I asked and his eyes stuck

"I'll take that as a no" I answered it myself and he looked up to me

"Wanna order something?" He asked

"What do you want?" I asked

"Just order anything , you know what I like" He said and that make me a little bit awkward. Of course I know what he likes but mentioning it again makes me have jitters

"Is japanese curry okay?" He likes it.. especially the chicken one

"That will do" He smiled to me and I called them. Order it without asking the menu to Max again because I know what he usually choose. After ordering , I sit again and just stare at him.

Looking at him again still makes my heart jump everywhere , he still.. he still has what belongs to mine. Weird but I love it when he act like this.. act lovely and just not the usual Max

"Take a pict it last longer" He chuckled and that made me look away from him

"So.. any girlfriend?" I asked hanging the topic.. and then I realise how stupid that question is

"No" He shook his head

"You're no fun" I hissed and he chuckled

"Well Rose.. what do you want to do so it can be fun?"

"You have no new stories.. entertaint me.. I'm bored" I crossed my arms in front of my chest

"No new stories.. just work and work" He said as he took a quick glance to me

"Your life is no fun Max"

"Yeah it is.. I'm bored too but.. I can't do anything about it" He chuckled lightly , I love seeing him smiling and talk civil with him. It's really been a long time and I miss it.

"Let's have a bet" I suggested and he looked up to me. He didn't see that coming

"What bet?"

"The dice bet" I took out the dice from the side drawer and walked back to the desk.

"Pick a number" I said and he looked at me with a unknown expression

"Two" He said and I throw the dice. Waiting for it stop and it shows four

"I pick 5" I throw the dice and as it stops Max looked at it. He looked up to me and I raised my eyebrows

"It's 5" He said and I smiled in victory

"So what do you have in mind Rose?" He asked

"Close your ears and look at me" I said and he quickly do what I say. He closed his ears and looked at me. I smiled

I mouthed him..

I miss you too
