~Dezanique's POV~
We continued on with small chit chat as the night rolled on and every now and then I would catch Max looking at me and smiling. He was truly a sweet guy but the thing was; I need a man. Not just a sweet guy.
I need a man who will kick anyone's ass if they hurt me. I need a man who brings me ice cream and my favorite chick flicks when I'm on my period. I need a man to help support me no matter what.
And Max is cute, very very cute. And really sexy. Damn. I stare at him for a second with the fork from my salad dangling out of my mouth, he sucked on his bottom lip for a second before speaking and it made my knees weak. In that moment I had wished that I was his bottom lip.
Is that weird? No. No, no. No. It's not.
It's not weird.
"Dez, sweetie you still with us here?" Sam laughs knowing what I was thinking. I shot my head towards her and my fork dropped from my lips making a clank noise as the fork and glass plate made contact.
"Yeah, yeah just- uh, thinking." I smiled at her and rested my head on Max's shoulder. He looked down and smiled. We soon after finished the dinner and all headed back to the apartment; Sam, Leo, Ann and I in her explorer, Max in his Jeep, and Kurt on his bike.
The ride was no more than forty minutes so we had plenty of time to talk.
"Okay, you and Kurt were totally making out before you came inside!" I smirked.
"I'm not talking about it." Sam said sternly, but when I looked at her she was blushing hard. I turned my head around to see what Ann and Leo were doing, Leo was staring at Ann as she stared out the window and at the stars. they weren't paying attention to us.
"You don't have to say anything, your hair said enough."
"HEY, at least I didn't start day dreaming about you and Max having sex during dinner!"
"HE SUCKED HIS LIP! I CANT HELP THAT THAT WAS INCREDIBLY SEXY AND THAT IM AND WOMAN!"
Sam laughed, "Well I guess we all had an exciting night then."
"Not all of us." I heard Ann mumble.
We drove a good ten minutes before Sam pulled into a gas station and refilled the explorer. I jumped out and went inside to buy cookies for myself, they all know that I'm not sharing with any of those losers. When I went back to the car I heard quest mumbles from Ann and Leo, and when I went to go look at them Leo had moved closer and Ann was trying to look anywhere but his direction.
"You can't stay away from me forever, Ann. No matter what I'll always be around." Leo tried to take her hand but she pulled back.
I see as her face falls and I take that as queue to get in before anything else is said.
Sam soon jumps in after and we begin talking again. "You know, I think you and Max are actually really sweet together. Total picture worthy couple." Sam turned to me and winked.
"Sam don't even start, you know that I need a real man. Max is sweet and cute and stuff but I need a man who will support me in our older days."
"That's complete bullshit. Stop being so old and just enjoy the fact that there's a guy who really likes you, you can worry about getting 'a real man' when you're old." Ann says from the back. No one speaks but we all know Ann is right.
Just enjoy life.
The rest if the ride is quiet and none of us speak as we pull into the complex. Leo goes to his apartment and Sam, Ann, and I begin to go to ours when Max stops us. Ann and Sam nod their heads and go inside leaving Max and I alone.
