Chapter 7

Max

Do you believe in love at first glance? Well, I don't, still, I used to watch movies that are about it. My mom always believed and told me that love at first at glance simply doesn't excise.

I never argued with her. Afterall she was my mom, therefore, she was right about most of the things. Lately, I don't know what to think or feel. I've been ignoring feelings that I have about Avar. It was never feelings of the attraction that two people have, although she's quite attractive, my feeling for her from the first time we met was more like sisterhood-brotherhood one.

My thoughts got distracted by a female voice. "hello," It certainly wasn't Avar's, but it was from someone I heard before. Still, I don't turn myself to see who she is, so she continues, "I saw Avar when I was coming. I guess you guys are friends now,"

With that, I turn to look at who she is. It's Sara! Sara always wanted to come to me, but she never did before. I have a feeling that she was suppressing herself to come to me for some reason. Later or sooner I will lean what.

"I see, not good timing," it wasn't a question, rather it was a statement coming from her

"No, no. The timing is ok. It's not the best time, but it's also not a worse time," I said before I could stop myself.

"well, I guess I'd stay here for a while then," she said before she sits on my lap "Come on I know you need some distraction," she added.

I'm not in the right state of mind, so I just nod letting her do whatever she wants to. Does it mean that I like her, or trust her? No, I don't think so. Even so, I could do nothing.

Avar

Once Sara goes inside Max's place, l got an uneasy feeling. I felt as if I made a horrible decision by letting Sara go on. Just then I heard Max's voice "Oh please," was it the right thing to go inside? I don't know, but I did it anyway. Sara is massaging Max's back while sitting in his lab. That's the most relaxing thing anyone can do to anyone. Max, what is going in our lives. Oh my, Max, I wish I could sit here and just look at you.

"Max I want to tell you something,"

"Oh yeah, What would that be?

"I love you,"

Oh, shit no, Sara, you didn't just say that. I see Max, his face is just as surprised as mine I guess.

"Get off of me, what do you want from me?" He yells at Sara jerking himself out of her grip. "Go, now. I shouldn't have let you touch me,"

"But I didn't mean to defend you," Sara said making puppy eyes.

"Leave my sight,"

And just like that Sara leaves the place. I think to myself that I need to go to. I was about to take a step out when

"When did you get back in here?" I snapped my face only to see Max talking to me.

"How did you..."

"What see you? Huh, you think you are so smart, don't you? and you are," he said coming towards me. "It's easy for me to figure out. You somehow learn that we are siblings. I'm not going to question you on how anyway. You have a crush on me, but when you learn that we are blood relative you didn't want to have a crush on me anymore, so you asked Sara to come to me," he said smirking.
