Life after him

CHAPTER 10: Max POV

Finally I can breath, I have lived at my uncle's place for the past three years but life was really hard for me, his wife was not fond of me, so I have been planning to move out since last year and I just did few days ago and feel so good to be on my own and not to look up to someone and I can finally do whatever my heart desire.

Now I can come home as late as I want, invite friends and even Tina can come over sometimes, I can't lie my heart beats fast at the thought of her, I actually can figure out what it is that I feel for her, for human sake I have a girlfriend but every time I think of her, her kindness , her beautiful face and that smile, her body just so fine and everything about her is just so perfect. I sigh and let the cold water fall on my body. I had a long day I had to unpack my things and look for some furniture for my apartment it feels so reliving and good to have this freedom and so I have invited Esther my girlfriend I have missed her and she is so happy that I decided to move out she was getting tired of sneaking around.

I finish showering and hear Esther talking to someone and she sounded angry but she put away the phone when I came in the room she gave me her beautiful smile, she is actually just beautiful her self and that is why I love her.

"What was that about ?" I ask as I put on some short.

"Nothing you need to worry about, now come here" she pat on the bed next to her, I craw on the bed next to her.

I woke to the beautiful sound of Esher singing in the kitchen this is life I have always wanted but there is a piece missing, even though I can't figure out what it is, I sigh and push away the thoughts, I get out of bed and heard to the kitchen, I stand at the door and watch as she was busy making breakfast and swaying her body to the rhythm of the music playing on her phone.

"I am liking what I am seeing" I say making my way to her, she gape and look at me with an open mouth.

"How long have you been there ?"  She gasp, I move closer to her and hug her from behind and place a kiss on her cheek which made her smile
"Long enough for me to see you move those hips of yours, and loved it" I came and sat on the counter looking at her and give her a genuine smile, I love my life.

After few seconds my phone went off showing a text message, it was from Tina

Am sorry for disturbing you last night I need your help as soon as possible I have no one left please don't ignore me Max

 I pick my phone quickly and call her.
"Hey what's up ?" I ask her over the phone and she started sobbing and my heart felt heavy for her.

"My aunt " she pause for a while,
" My aunt kicked me out of the hou...."

"WHAT?" I ask before she can finish her sentence I was now standing I can't believe someone can goes as far as this.

"Can you come to me please ?" She say with a hurt voice ,I was beyond furious , she told me about her aunt but I can't believe she was a witch, who does that to a human being for God sake? There is a special place in my heart for Tina and I can't tolerate anyone treat her that way I know how hurt she is and she very fragile right now.

Esther was looking at me with weird eyes I I just ignore her and continue "where are you right now?" I ask taking my car keys from the kitchen counter.

"At the service" I already know which one so I hang up and rush out of the kitchen.

"Babe where are you going? breakfast is almost ready "  Esther ask, I stop abruptly and look at her, I love her but I need to save my best friend's life, she need me.

"I am going to Tina she needs me, something came up, I will be back in a few" I glace at her once.

" That witch " I swear I heard her mumble that I chuckle and run out of the apartment to my car.
I know Esther kinda hate Tina or something but I know when they get will get along if they get to know each other Tina is selfless and just her she is strong and I  admire that about her.

"Thanks for coming" Tina came running to me when I got out of the car and hug me tightly, she took me by surprise but I hug her back then she started crying on my chest , we stayed like that for some minutes and people at he service where giving us funny looks but I could care less because I was comforting my best friend.

"I am sorry I messed your shirt up, God I am such a child " she say with a chuckle whipping my shirt.

"Oh don't be silly you needed that hug after what you went through, you are such a strong women that I have ever know and please stay that way " I say truthfully and give her a smile which she return calmly.

"So mind telling me what happened there ? " I ask her as we sat in my car

"Are you sure you want to know what my evil aunt did to me ?" She sigh and look away, I know its painful for her.

"Not if you don't want to talk about it" I say and look at her, she has puffy eyes God knows how long have she cried, it hurt to see her this way, she does not deserve the treatment she got from this day  I am going to make sure of that no one come near her or her heart.

She went on and tell me the whole story and when her aunt talked about her mother.

"I just lost it I don't know what came over me I can't stand anyone talking bad about my mother , she is a strong women that raised me all by her self and she made sure I am the person that I am today " she say and let out a a deep breath.

" No you did the right thing, she don't deserve your kindness if she can't see that you are a nice person then she is just so evil" I say I never knew if she was raised by a single mother I wonder what happened to her father, she is so broken and I just wish I can fix her.

" Oh hey I called you to help me I think I need a place to stay and I was wondering if you can help me find one" she ask an I just smile at her, she frown looking confused a ever.

"I actually moved out from my uncles place a few days and I have my two bedroom apartment so no need to worry you will be staying with me I  sure you don't have enough money for that" I explain to her but she look scared as ever.

"No, no, we can look for a cheaper place and I will see what I will do next" she disagree I know she is very stubborn but she can't risk it now she need someone to lean on.

"Look you can't risk anything right now, you just got from a terrible heartbreak, an accident and now you are homeless you need someone around you " she sigh knowing I am right

" But your girlfriend won't like it, she doesn't like me " say with a worried look

"Nonsense , look you are a nice person and I know she is a nice person too I can see you two getting along already " I smirk at her I know she is defeated.

"Look you are going to stay there for free,I sure you student loan is not much to get you through but I on the other hand I have enough savings and by next year I will be working so I am just offering you help that is what friends do for each other "

"But I'll make sure to pay you in any other way " she move closer to me and give me a side hug.

"Really ? I can count on that " I say wiggling my eyebrows .

"Its not like that you silly" she nudge me and we laugh together, I love my life.
