The Other Side

Chapter 19: Confession

Back to the other side, I walked into Scattys house as the door banged against the door stop with a slam. "SCATTY! YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!" I scream at the top of my lungs while scatty rushes into the room. "What what what?! What happened?" She questioned a slight hint of curiosity and annoyance in her voice. I chuckled and hugged her happily. "It was max! And i'm his girlfriend on our side!" I cheer as she smiles widely and swings me around happily. "I'm so happy for you! I'm glad you finally found him. I could tell it was him with that massive aura he was giving off." She replied as she set me down and I regained my balance with happy tears welling up in my eyes.

We celebrated with baking goodies in the kitchen. Cookies and biscuits galore. The smell of baking filled the entire house while scatty and i had fun making the sweet treats. I hear the front door close, with my back to the kitchen opening as i prepared another batch of sugar cookies while scatty got the frosting made. Two arms snaked around my waist and i jumped slightly to turn my head to see Max holding me and pressing his nose into my neck. "Smells heavenly in here. And right here as well." He complimented and I couldn't help a blush to spread over my cheeks. "I'm glad you like, Scatty and I have been celebrating our reunited selves with some baked goods. There are some on the platter on the table, go ahead and help yourself to some." I replied motioning to the dining room.

The house was warm from the oven being on, the smell of sugar still lingering as we enjoyed our treats at the table with glasses of milk. I turn toward max, who was happily devouring most of the cookies. "What do you think of the cookies?" I ask and chuckle when he looks up at me with a cookie in his mouth. "It's so good...thank you." He says as a crumble stays on his chin and i reach over to wipe it off and look him in the eyes. I take a quick look at his lips then back to his eyes as a blush flushed my cheeks to a crimson.

A different feeling of warmth touches my cheek and I reach up to touch it realizing it was his hand. I lean into his touch as Scatty clears her throat and I sit back into my seat embarrassed. "Love birds." She teased and i blushed looking away. "Shut up." I mutter before taking another cookie and taking a bite of it grumbling to myself. At the corner of my eye I see Max shift in his seat and takes another cookie while sipping his milk. I finish my cookie before getting up and went to the kitchen to clean up everything. Max came in shortly after and helped. "You felt it too didn't you?" He asked, breaking the silence between us. "Feel what?" I asked curious what he meant. "The pull between us." He answered avoiding eye contact as we washed the dishes together. "I did." I admit putting the dishes away and turn toward him.

Two hands found their way to my waist and a sudden pull towards a hard chest caught me off guard. I look up to see max with a slight tint on his cheeks and a passion filled look in his eyes. "I love you Mavis. I remember everything and i want to be with you for forever. You make me happy here and on our side." He admitted and leaned in, connecting our lips together in a passionate kiss. I'm lost for words as the warmth of his lips press up against my own. I close my eyes melting into the kiss wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me as our chests press against each other.

The kiss lasts for a couple minutes before we pull away and look into each other's eyes l, me a blushing mess and him giving me a sincere look of love. We let go of each other as we finish with the dishes and head to the living room. "I'm going to go take a shower actually." I pipe up and head upstairs into my room. I didn't hear myself being followed when I kept my door ajar and started to strip down to nothing.  I stepped into the bathroom and turned the water on till it warmed up. Stepping into the tub as the water rained down upon my head. Washing my hair and body before quickly getting out to dry off.

I stepped out of the bathroom with the towel around my body as I look up to see Max sitting on the bed staring at me. "W-What are you doing in here?" I asked startled from his presence, trying to keep my body covered. He stood up and walked to me, I tended as the distance shortened between us. He brushed my hair to the side and smiled. "Go ahead and get dressed, i'll turn around to give you privacy. Then i'll walk you down to the dining room, Scatty's making dinner right now." He starts before stepping back away from me and sits on the bed facing the wall away from me. 

I slip on a casual shirt and sweatpants cause I wasn't planning on going anywhere today. I clear my throat, causing Max to turn back around and give me a small smile. "Let's go get some food." He responds as he turns toward my door and heads downstairs as I follow shortly behind him. I wondered what he was gonna do on this side now that he knew about it, if he was going to explore the place and get his bearing again or just stay here.  I was curious what I was going to do as well. I had some things that needed to be explained, and I plan to find my answers.
