Max's POV

* Knock * Knock * Knock

I woke up to the sound of mom knocking on my bedroom door.

  "Max! Wake up! You're going to be late for work sweetheart." I heard my mom yell from the other side, out in the hallway.

"Crap, I'm just barely waking up to get ready for work!" Why is she up so early?

"By the way, I'm not up early, it's almost 8:35am and you have to be at work before 9:15"

"How did she read my mind?"

"Wait....It's almost 8:45?"

"Damn..."

"Well just five more minutes since I'm already going to be late mom, please!", I asked, hoping just to get a little bit more sleep in.

"Nope! Get your ass up now Maxwell! I'm already late cause I had to wake you back up again!"

(Maxwell is the nickname that my mom calls me whenever she gets mad or whenever I get in trouble. It's a combination of my first and last name)

"Fine! Fine! I'm Up! You can leave now ma!"

I get out of bed still tired from staying up all night talking to Kai again.

"The idiot had an other fight with his toxic girlfriend! Like this ain't happened many times before!"

"Why does he keep going back to her? I thought I raised him better then this!"

"Yep....My kid is an idiot through thick and thin"

It feels like just the other day, back when we were kids whenever a girl would ask him out, he would harshly reject them saying "If you're not rich, I don't want you!", when he wasn't even rich himself!

"Well that's probably the reason why he only wanted to date rich girls back then", I said to myself, chuckling as I walk to my closet to pick out what I'm going to wear for work today.

"I'm so glad I don't have to wear a uniform for the place that I work at~"

"This really is the dream job!"

I look into my closet to see a outfit I haven't worn yet. It's not what I usually wear, but why not, I could go for a nice change once in a while.

"Mmm....I think this outfit makes my butt look big-"

"....WHY DIDN'T I WEAR THIS OUTFIT SOONER!!!"

I hurry up and finish getting ready to leave out the house for work after grabbing the rest of my things and the two pieces of French toast that mom already had ready for me, knowing I'd be late for work today.

"Bye mom! Love you!" I said to mom after giving her a kiss on the cheek, running out the door.

I already knew dad already left for work since his shoes weren't by the door anymore, "oh well I'll see him after he gets back home from work later on tonight anyways".

I stated to run all the way to my work place, it was a couple miles from my house but I'm lucky that I did track and was the fastest running in my school, otherwise I would be a goner running that damn long.

"Ah..haa, I might be a little bit out of shape" I said to myself breathing a little bit hard from running 5 miles in 20 minutes barely making it 2 minutes to work before being late and clocking in.

"I should probably start back running 3 times a day like back in high school, I'm loosing my touch" I say as stretching my arms walking to our conference room.

*Time skip to work ending

"AHHHHH!!!! I'M DONE FOR THE DAY!!! I said as getting up from my chair and packing up for the day.

"You're leaving already Max?" I heard someone say as I turned around to see who it was

"LAMIE!!!! WHERE WERE YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE ME TO THE WOLVES IN THAT MEETING ROOM!!!" I said pouting and whining to Lamie as I hug him tightly.

"Sorry, Theona had me attend the board meeting for the budgeting for this month, I really didn't want to go cause I knew my cute little Maxie wouldn't be there~"  He said to me with puppy eyes.

"WHO'S LITTLE!!!" I yelled at him while punching his arm for calling me small!

"That hurts!"

"I Know-" 

"You meanie-"

"Thank You~" I said to him happily with a big smile on my face~

"Enough playing around now, I need to head back home now, I promised dad I'd help him clean out the garage straight after work" I told Lamie while walking out the door.

"BYE MAX!!!!" I heard him yell before the door closed behind me.

I turn back around to have at him with a smile on my face and start back walking again.
