SHEE'S BAAAAK!!!!!

Chapter Twenty

Amanda (POV)

“So I guess it’s time for us to go” Robert announced, carrying Jacob as he snored his little head away and Mark followed suit carrying Jacob, who was also fast asleep.

“Thank you for the dinner it was delightful!” Josephine gushed as she kissed us all on our cheeks good bye.

“Yes we hope we weren’t too much trouble” Esmeralda added.

“We hope to see you again very soon” Mark finished as they started to walk out the door.

“Bye Maxi I’ll see you tomorrow!” Jessie jumped up and down waving at her brother and then disappeared alongside the rest of her family.

“Right” dad started “it has been a long night and I have no doubt that all of you are as tired as me and as for Maxwell you must be exhausted, so I’m going to bed. Could you kids show Maxwell to his room?” he turned to Max “you can pick any of the rooms in the house as your own and I’m sure the boys won’t mind lending you some clothes since your things won’t arrive until tomorrow afternoon” he gave us all one last smile and left for his bedroom.

“I’LL SHOW YOU YOU’RE ROOM!” Alma shouted, she grabbed his hand and pulled him up the stairs, practically running, I wonder what she’s up to, hang on!

“ALMA NO! LET HIM PICK HIS OWN ROOM!” I shouted as I ran after them when realisation hit me, I followed her giggles and their footsteps all the way up to my room but I was too late she already offered him the room and he’d already accepted.

She turned and looked at me karma’s a bitch big sis! She smiled as she innocently skipped out of the room.

And so are you baby sis! I frowned at her; she stuck her tongue out at me and skipped out of sight. Max and I just stood there for a while in an awkward silence, I stared down at my shoes but I could feel Max’s eyes inspecting my body, I cleared my throat to get rid of some silence.

“So is this room?” he asked.

“Umm…yeah” I stuttered.

“Well, I shall go and find another one. I don’t mean to intrude or be a burden” he added politely, I actually considered letting him pick another room until a little voice in the back of my mind told me that dad would be super pissed if I made him leave.

“No its fine, really. I don’t mind after all we are basically engaged” I added sarcastically, hoping he’d find it funny but he didn’t seem to because he just looked at me with a blank expression.

“Umm…is there any chance I could take a shower?”

“Huh?” I said stupidly.

“It’s that I’ve been travelling all day and it would be nice to take a shower. If it’s possible.”

“Oh- Oh yes! Of course well that’s the bathroom” I pointed to the door leading to the bathroom “and there are towels in the cabinet and shampoo on the vanity…Ummm is there anything else you’ll need?” I asked when he didn’t move.

“No nothing right now, thank you” He smiled and disappeared into the bathroom. I waited until I heard the shower turn on to let out the breathe I’d been holding while having to be in the same room as him, which was pretty much all of tonight. My shoulders slumped and I dragged my feet over to the stool on at my dressing table, I took off my shoes and massaged them for a few minutes.

Once I felt like I could be bothered to get up, I kicked the shoes into my closet and pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of shorts to wear to bed, I unzipped the dress, dropping it to the floor and kicked it into the back of the closet. I pulled the t-shirt over my head and slid on my shorts, and then I slumped back down into my stool. I slowly took off my earrings and the small necklace I had on and placed them back into my purple, velvet jewellery box that had once belonged to my mother and picked up a face wipe. It didn’t take me long to get all my make-up off because Alma hadn’t let me wear much but I must have taken longer to get changed than I thought because I heard the door click open behind me and being as curious as I am I turned around.

Max walked out in nothing but a towel and my eyes went wide when they reached his chest and I had to remind myself to close my mouth. My eyes roamed his chest and I found myself following the little water droplets down his chest and into his towel as I began to wonder what he hid under there. Oh my God! I’m starting to think like Alma! I snapped myself out of the daze, clearing my throat and my mind of the dirty thoughts and turned away, blushing furiously.

“Is there any way you could get me some clothes?”

“Yeah sure, let me go and ask one of my brothers” I smiled at him and ran out of the room.
