When Your Demon Takes Over

Chapter 31

Max's POV

I woke up to a snoring Shae. He was kinda cute looking so peaceful. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom trying to be quiet. I washed my hands and walked out. He was still snoring. What time did he go to sleep last night? I went into the living room and turned the tv on putting it on low. I watched about 1 1/2 hours of cartoons before he stumbled into the living room. 

"Morning sleepy." 

"Morning kitten." 

"You snore by the way" He looked at me with 'really' look. "Yeah, and you look adorable when you sleep." He laughed and went to make some coffee. 

He sat next to me with a cup of plain coffee in his hands. When he wasn't paying attention I stole it from him and took a sip. Ah just how I like it. He snatched it back and took a long drink then gave it to me. I finished and instantly felt the caffeine rush. I haven't had caffeine in a really long time and this was gonna end badly. I sat next to him after washing the mug. I wouldn't stop tapping my fingers on my leg. He put his hand on my stopping it from bouncing. 

"Does coffee really affect you that much?" I nodded. "Okay, note don't give Max coffee." I giggled and quickly stopped. Did I just fucking giggle? He stared at me and kinda had a weird smile on his face.  

"Was that a real giggle?" He sounded shocked.

"...yeah. Sorry." I said looking at the floor. 

"Hey look at me." I looked at him and I felt good...maybe happy. We stared into each other's eyes. Finally, I looked away and back at the tv. I changed the channel because I had a feeling he didn't like cartoons. I put it on one of those crime shows I've seen him watch and turned up the volume. I got really into the plot that I didn't feel him put his arm around my shoulders. The show ended and it just ended up making me really curious and still hyper. I dreamed about going outside and just going anywhere. Somewhere out of the house and around people. I hate to admit it but I was starting to miss social interaction. 

"I can hear you. And I guess we can go somewhere." I looked at him for a second then remembered he could read my mind. 

"Fine mister psychic. What am I thinking about?" 

"You are thinking about how sexy I am." He said striking a pose. 

"Nooo, I'm thinking about YouTube." I frowned at the end. I thought about how many videos I have missed from my favorites. I wish I could watch them again. Shae sighed. I assume he heard my thoughts.

"If I get wi-fi installed and get you a tablet will you be happy...again?" I looked at him suspiciously for a second then saw a genuine smile. 

We both got dressed. I got to pick my own outfit. I picked out a see-through shirt that had bra thingy built into it and some white jeans. I put on my red converse and met with him in the living room. He was wearing a pastel blue shirt and gray jeans. He looked nice and soft. He glared at my top for a second but stopped. 

"Is my shirt okay?" I asked hesitantly. 

"I'd prefer it only I got to see that much skin but you look cute. So, yes it is fine." I blushed. Wait I blushed. What the fuck is wrong with me. We left and I realized he didn't bring the leash. Was he going soft or is he trusting me? 

We arrived at a park that was huge and had little booths everywhere. There were so many people here. I practically jumped out of my seat. We got out and walked around for awhile stopping at each booth to see what cool things they were selling. I just was happy to feel the sun on my skin again. I didn't even mind that he was holding my hand. We were looking at the fountain when a couple stopped to talk to us. 

"You two are a very cute couple. How long have you been together?" I panicked what do I say? Shae saved the day by answering.

"We've been together for two years. I met her in high school I actually protected her from the bullies. Right, honey?" I nodded. The left after saying "Have a nice day you two." I looked into the water in the fountain zoning out. I zoned back in when I felt him lay his head on the side of my neck. I still don't trust this sudden act of kindness. 

We walked over to a bench and sat down staring at random birds that flew by or landed on the ground. This was nice. But I couldn't let myself enjoy it too much. I knew this was a trap. But a trap for what?

We went out for lunch at a really cool restaurant. It had a hipster vibe and I loved it. We both got the soup which was served in a bowtie shaped bowl. It was so cool. 

We left to go to an electrics store. He found a way to install wi-fi himself and bought me a tablet with a red case. We went home so he could install the wi-fi while there was still light. 

I ended up having to set it up since he was stumped. I finished the setup and jumped up and down. 

"Houston we do not have a problem!" I laughed at how stupid I probably looked. I set up the tablet and joined the wi-fi I logged into YouTube and choked on the air I was breathing when I saw how much I missed. I'm gonna have a marathon.  I laid upside down on the couch watching videos while Shae was doing something outside. I ended up getting really sick from laughing too hard. I took a break and looked outside to see what he was doing. I couldn't really tell what it was but it looked almost like a chair but a really fancy chair. I wondered who it was for.
