Justine's P.O.V.

I know I've rekindled my love for Max. But right now he feels more like a relentless bodyguard as I stare into Aiden's eyes and soak up his ruddy, handsome face. Max speaks up occassionally and asks stupid questions. But Aiden answers them and seems to ignore all the stares coming from the staff and the patrons. The love that I once professed for Max, is now suddenly pursuing Aiden mercilessly. I believe I'm in love. "I should be going." Aiden says and I stammer as he stands up and just like that, vanishes back to the corner we met him on. "Memo. Never invite a homeless man out for coffee." Max says with a sarcastic laugh and that does it for me. "I'm going home. I'm sure your AMEX card can find you a hotel tonight." I say and storm off. "Wait." He says and I turn around and cast a look at him. "What's wrong?" He ask all doe-eyed and sad. "You. Your behavior. You can get me back when your attitude toward those with a lesser bank account improves!!" I say, push the door open, and walk off.
