I awoke to the treacherous wail of my alarm clock.
I'm not really a morning person. I'm more of a sleep at 3am and wake up at 2pm kind of girl.
After seven minutes of mentally preparing myself to get out of bed, I got up and took a shower. After, I got dressed and went downstairs. I tried to eat breakfast, but threw it away once i practically fell asleep in it.
I checked the clock again: 7:27, it was time to leave for my 3 to 6 hour drive. (depending on how many times i got lost, peed, or stopped for food.)
"Goodbye house." I whispered myself.
*3 and a half hours later*
I kept ringing the doorbell to Max's apartment but no one was answering. Finally, around the thousandth ring, Max opened the door wearing nothing but boxers. And I'll admit, if he weren't my cousin I'd think he was hot. But behind him was something even more beautiful. His apartment. It looked like something from straight out of a magazine.
"Oh my god" I yelled while looking around. I ran to the first room room and asked.
"Is this mi-" I stopped talking once I saw the girl in his bed.
"Oops, yeah um, yeah...I'll just ..." I stuttered and then proceeded to shake my head in embarrassment.
"Erin, it's like eleven. Why are you here, actually never mind don't answer that, I'll talk to you in a few hours when I'm good and rested." He replied.
Okay then.
I went to the living room and turned on the tv to find there was an awkward marathon on MTV.
Mystery girl walked out of Max's room, smiled at me, then went out the door.
A few minutes later a showered Max exited the of his room.
"Morning," he said
"Correction, afternoon and was that your girlfriend?, shes really pretty" I asked.
He laughed.
"No she's just some girl I met yesterday. I don't do girlfriends."
Disgusting. That's Max for you.
"So," he said "Like your mom, I've got rules for you too:
No bothering me when my friends are over, no blocking me when girls are over, ignore anything suspicious or illegal my friends and I do, and lastly never call me Paxy Maxy in front of my friends, ever."
Paxy Maxy was Max's nickname from his chubby days.
"Aw okay, I'll try Paxy."
He gave me a death glare.
"As your mature guardian is their anything you need for school or for around the house. I could take you shopping for food or something."
"But that would include walking and getting up from this extremely comfy couch. I'll just order it off the internet." I answered. Yes I know. I'm lazy.
"Damn Max, how'd you get such a nice place?" I asked, looking around in awe.
"Models get payed a lot." he replied with a smirk.
