It's you

One Shot

"You're moving here?" Max says questioningly. "Yes. I thought you would be excited about me staying for a while and that means more time together!" Randy answers back.

Fuck, Max thought. She was terrified, she didn't want him coming and staying with her and Caroline. Ohh, Caroline, I wonder what she's doing right now. God, she's probably smiling and ugh she knows how that smile gets me. Wait, what? Why am I thinking about Caroline?

"Max. Hello? Max?" Randy waved his hand in front of her face. "Where'd you go?" "Uhh... no where. I don't know if you coming is the best idea." She said truthfully. "And why not?" the tall brunette said. "Because..." I love Caroline and not you... wait, WHAT? Do I love Caroline? I mean, her hair always looks messy in the morning and she manages to give me butterflies, and those lips, look so nice to kiss. Max, stop it!

"MAX!" Randy yelled. "Because I love Caroline and I can't have you live with us!" She said, even surprising herself. "Caroline? You love her? Is this you experimenting like you said you wanted to? Cause I'd be down to see that!" He replies with a smirk on his face. Ugh, how disgusting! How was I ever attracted to douche bags... oh right, all the time. Except Caroline, those blue eyes that sparkle in the sunset, the giggle that sends her on a ecstasy trip, and don't even get her started on that body of hers.

"This isn't experimenting and I think you should catch the first flight the hell outta here. I"m done." And with that she left him in the cold streets of New York, searching for the blonde of her dreams.

When Max makes it back to the apartment, she sees Caroline and unfortunately sees Andy as well, tangled up on the couch. "Leave." Max orders. "Max! I thought you would be out all night." Caroline says with a shocked tone. "Out. Out! OUT!" she screams at Andy. "Alright, okay, relax Maxwell." "You wanna get punched? Better yet killed? I know moves." She says pulling on his collar, lifting him up." "No, its okay! I'm sorry." Andy drops to the ground and sprints for the door, without even looking back at Caroline.

"What the hell?" The blonde asks Max. "I'm sorry, I just broke up with Randy, and I couldn't stand to be around him or out anymore tonight and thought I would come back and see you, but candy boy got in my way." "Wait, Randy was here? What did he say?"

"That he wants to stay here with us so he can spend more time with me. But I said no, and for him to go home." She answers. "And why did you do that? I thought he was "the one"." "No... someone else is." Max says while playing with her nails. "WHO? Please don't say it's Deke, I can't do that dumpster loser any more." No, IT'S YOU!!

"Not him. It's uhm, not really a guy." Still playing with her nails. "A girl? Max I didn't know you swung that way." "It wasn't obvious with all the innuendos and undertones?" she mentions. "Well, I guess not."

"It's nothing. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." With that, she walked to her room and didn't leave the confines of her room until later the next afternoon when she smelled microwave bacon.

"Bacon?" she sticks her head out from the door way. "Crispy, and plastic-y, like you like it!" Caroline says beaming that her roommate finally appears. "Caroline, I gotta be honest with you." Well, here goes nothing. "I left Randy because I am in love with someone else, a girl." Caroline nods her head, recalling the conversation last night. "Go on."

Max tries to piece together exactly how she wants to confess her feelings for Caroline, and when she settles on the right words, she opens her mouth, but nothing will come out. So she grabs a post it note from the counter and a pen and simply rights "It's you", and pushed the pad across the island.

Caroline looks down, then back up, then down again. She's processing, she's thinking, oh god, what if she hates me? Fuck. Leave, yeah, I need to leave.

Max makes a break for the door, but Caroline stops her and stands in her way of the door. She looks Max dead in the eye and leans in. Max pushed her away and asked, "What are you doing" "Trying to kiss you. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you to tell me this? I even had to sleep with Andy again and think I have herpes, for you to get the message or even feel some slight jealousy! Max, I love you! Now let me kiss you!" She presses her lips onto the brunettes and smiles between kisses. Gently gliding her tongue across Max's lip for access. Max pushes her away.

"Are you sure? Cause I'm messy and shit at commitment and I'm an asshole and I'm pretty sure..." her sentence was cut off by Caroline kissing her again, this time with tongue. Max finally reciprocates and they make out on the door, without a care in the world.

"I love you." Max says, blissfully.
