"And that is?" Maxi was too close for comfort. I can feel myself grip my bag, wondering if I should hit him with it then make a run for it.

"To see you and-" I blinked. Then suddenly I found Maxi leaning closer and closer until I felt something contact my right cheek.

He.

Did.

Not.

Just.

Do.

That!!!!

"Hope that you won't forget me." I froze in place as Maxi tucked a few strands of my hair behind to mutter those words in my ear. My cheeks warmed as I watched Maxi smile at my reaction.

Once he left, I slowly placed my gloved hand against my cheek. If someone held a mirror before me, I think my face would've been bright red.

'He just! What in the-Ahhhhhhhh!!!' Get back here Maxi so that I can punch you!!!

I was only glad to know that he's not going in the same direction as I was. Otherwise the next time Maxi sees me as Lucia, I'm going to punch him with these two brown gloved fists of mine regardless of what Adelle says!
