Alone.

Chapter 2

There it was... or he was. 

"Hello", he said. "I've been watching you for a while now and I've noticed you seemed down and today I finally got the guts to say hello." 

"Hi..", I awkwardly replied. "Who are you?"

"Oh.. I'm Max you can basically call me your secret admirer.' He said.

I blushed not knowing what to say or what to do next...

"Well... I guess I'll see you around goodbye." he said

I blinked for a second and in that second he was gone...

 The next day...

I woke up in my bed and suddenly remembered the odd occurrence yesterday. It was so realistic, but it must have been a dream. It was highly unlikely that a gorgeous guy would come up and greet meet in the middle of the night and tell me he liked me. What was his name again?? Max, yes I'm sure of it.

I walked downstairs into the kitchen and made myself a bowl of cereal and quickly finished it. School was approaching and I need to go shopping. I go back upstairs and strip down and take a shower. I then dry myself off and put on some decent clothing. I then fix my hair and put on some cologne and head downstairs. I put on my gray converse and then head out the door. 

I close the door shut behind me and I notice there's a note. I open it and read:

I had a nice time meeting you for once in person :) I would like to do it again. Meet me at the nearby starbucks ok :) I'll be waiting for you.

xoxo - Your secret admirer Max Adams

 I  close the note and put it in my pocket. I reread it mentally and smile and think, "So it wasn't a dream. He's real after all, but how come I've never seen him before and how does he know me??" I shake those thoughts off and open the car door. I put in the key and head out. First stop Starbucks

*****

I park in the parking lot (well duh where else am I going to park) and then exit the car. I walk towards the starbucks and get in line. I order my usual. (Grande Carmel Frappachino) I then pay for my drink, take it, and then sit down at a table waiting patiently for my secret admirer to come in.

10 minutes passed and then I see him approach the door. He's wearing black skinny jeans and a plaid flannel. He looks amazing. As he approaches, I notice his eyes are green and his hair is done in a sort of fohawk look. He's also wearing a gray beanie. 

When he opens the door, he notices me and beams his dazzling white teeth to me. He comes up to my table and says, "I'm going to get my drink ok. I won't take too long. I'm so glad that you came. Thank you!" He then kissed my cheek causing me to blush and then walked towards the line.

Max's P.O.V.

I can't believe he actually showed up. I've been observing him for a while now. (Not to be creepy) I just couldn't take my eyes off him. He's the most dashing guy I have ever laid eyes on and he makes my heart skip a beat every time he returns to the forest. I've learned a lot from his actions and the words he tends to blurt out. 

He came due to the lost of both his parents and for nearly every day he cried. I wanted to comfort him . I really did, but I just didn't have the guts to approach him. I feel stupid for doing so. Well back to my observations. Well eventually, he brought a girl to the woods with him and he stopped visiting making me down and depressed and longing for his return and I guess the two fought and ever since he's been returning more frequently. Yesterday, I finally got the guts to approach him. I then followed him to his house and then left a note. (I'm kinda creepy I know, but I couldn't help it. I had to see him again soon even if it may jeopardize my secret..)

I got my drink and then walked back towards the table with a smile on my face. I placed my drink down and sat across from him...

Daniel's P.O.V.

 I've been sitting for what feels like ages waiting to see that cute guy come sit down. When he finally did. I honestly didn't know what to say or do, until he started the conversation.

"Hi.." he said sheepishly.

"Hello" I replied just as awkwardly back.

"I'm Max if you've forgotten. I've admired you for quite a while now and I'm really glad we're meeting again." he then said.

"Don't worry I didn't forget your name, Max. Oh so you are my little secret admirer well I'm flattered yet also a bit creeped out... How long have you liked me??" I replied.

"Well I liked you ever since you started visting the forest. You know after the incident that I'm sorry to hear about." he answered.

"Oh.. so you know about that..." I said quietly.

"Yes, I do actually and I'm sorry to hear about it and then the recent events that took place with that girl... uhmm Marjorie was it??" he said.

"Yes, that's correct. WAIT!!! You've been overhearing my conversations to myself. Those were meant to be private!!" I retorted.

"Oh.. I'm sorry. My bad... I just couldn't help, but listen as I watched you from above." he said.

"You watched me through the trees. Impossible!! I'm constantly looking at the sky. How haven't I noticed you??" I asked.

"Luck maybe.. I don't know..." he quickly blurted out.

Not knowing how to reply, I looked at my watch to check the time and sure enough I was out of it.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. I have to go back-to-school- shopping. Here's my number." I said as I wrote my number down on a nearby napkin. 

"Call me later ok." I said with a smile. and with that I walked out. 

A/N: Well how was it?? Hope you enjoyed it... lalala what's Max's secret... well we will find out sure enough. Look out for chapter 3!

Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter!!! :D
