Of course , this bookstore brings out the fool in me, that's probably why i've been making so many mistakes lately, I spend too much time here. I was foolish to hope that Amity and Alaric wouldn't show up. Well actually I wasn't expecting Alaric to come at all. We shared somewhat of a look, you know those kind of looks. the looks which are like 'i am sorry i gotta do this, are you okay? she is really annoying i know just go with it.' those kinds of looks.
I gave them a smile , hoping to at least irritate Amity "Hello you two, how are you today? " Amity's smile didn't drop but I could see a slight glare in her eyes. Maddox seemed not to notice that however as he spoke up "Amity! are you okay? you left rather abruptly yesterday..." I had told Maddox everything that went down yesterday so his ability to initiate in conversation with her was shocking , he was practically quivering in the presence of Alviva . I suppose that being in a more public place calmed him down a little bit.
Amity narrowed her eyes at Maddox, I had suspected that her mother told her about everything that happened yesterday, I could see the cogs in her brain turning as she tried to understand whether or not I had told Maddox of her part in everything. She came and put a hand on Maddox's shoulder "Oh i'm fine Maddox don't worry, seeing you two all lovey-dovey yesterday reminded me that I had to meet up with my boyfriend! I had completely forgotten, it's a good thing he got a little tied up at work. "
She said that with a bit of a smirk and I noticed Alaric flinch a little bit. Maddox's eyes trailed from Amity's hand which was on his shoulder, up her arm and down her other arm, only now noticing that there is another person here. That made me chuckle as Maddox sported a nice rosy blush "o-oh Hello I'm Maddox , It's nice to meet you." He held his hand out to Alaric who happily shook it. I saw Alaric's other hand clench into a fist but I decided to let that go for now.
Alaric said with a very small smile "Pleased to meet you Maddox, My name is Alaric, or you could call me rick for short if you want." He stopped talking but Amity elbowed him in the ribs sharply, He hardly flinched but he continued his speech with "I'm Amity's boyfriend ." he seemed to hesitate a little bit at the word 'boyfriend'
but Maddox either didn't notice or he didn't care as he turned to face us fully "What are you guys doing here? From what i've seen this place isn't usually busy .. " Maddox trailed off a little bit at the end looking around at the very empty place . Amity jumped up and down on her heels "we're on a date! how about you two?"
Maddox grabbed onto my hand with his left and smiled up at the two people in front of us "We are too! Chester has a really good reading voice! We're looking for some books to read at the moment though..." Amity clapped her hands and shouted , nearly deafening me "Oh my goodness! I have the best idea! Why don't we go on a double date? it would be awesome, we could all go out together and... "
I saw Maddox pale significantly at the thought of going on a double date , I don't blame him after that last date we had . Something new wouldn't be the best thing but I decided to intervene before he started to panic. "Perhaps we could arrange something for Friday or this weekend? " Amity stopped her hopping before looking at me suspiciously before nodding slowly.
"Sure! we can arrange something in the group chat. Come one Alaric let's goo! bye guys " She started to drag him out of the door whilst he looked panicked and said a quick "bye chester! nice to meet you Maddox!"
I turned to Maddox and placed my hand on his shoulder "It's alright Maddox, we can check out where they want to have a date and have a mini-date there so we can get comfortable and have a great time." I gave him a small smile which he returned. He put some of the books away before standing up and walking towards the chair.
We had picked a few books out and we spent a little time reading them before going to the park like we did on our first date. It was almost a perfect replica of our first park adventure except this time there was no falling. Maddox and I spent a lot of time listening to music at the park, but mainly we swing on the swings. There were no people around this time so we were able to be as loud and obnoxious as we want.
The night was simple and quiet, If I didn't have the lingering thoughts of Amity , Alaric and Alviva still in my head I would have said that it was another perfect day , though I really did not want to push my luck with these perfect days. They are happening too often and I know that something is going to come and bite me one of these days.
The next day was another day at university. This time Luke managed to make it on time and everything went as normal . That was until the night time when a message appeared in the group chat
hello everyone! Me and Alaric have decided that we will be going to the ice-skating rink on friday , so we'll meet you guys there at about twelve? -A
I felt myself grow pale, an ice-skating rink ? really? from what I have experienced Maddox is rather clumsy , but i'm sure that we will make it work . My thoughts became somewhat selfish as I imagined holding Maddox's hand throughout the entirety of our date
That sounds great! i'm not too good at skating but i'll give it a shot-M
He seemed rather happy about it, which pleased me immensely , At least he didn't seem too panicked about it until I got the private message.
...pick me up at ten please?-M
Of course I will be happy to pick you up whenever you want to be picked up, though I will be right next to you throughout the entire date- C
thank you! ...it's just ...i can't really skate and i'm scared of falling-M
don't worry i will never let you fall, goodnight Maddox - C
Goodnight chester, sending love and happiness X- M
