"Hi...?"
The group all look surprised staring at me. I blush. Not many people usually stare at me so long. "What are you guys doing in my house?" I question the group. To my surprise again, it's Max who answers.
"Bee invited us over.", he tells me and I feel my cheeks burn when I meet his eyes.
"That's weird." I say quickly moving my eyes away from his and look over the group. "Bee usually tells me when she's gonna have people over, and she's never had you all over before, well except Sonya." Sonya is one of Bee's best friends.
The stay quiet and look at one an other trying to come up with a lie to tell me. I'm about to say something else when Bee comes out of Cole's room, carrying an unconscious Cole in her arms. "We are doing a group science project. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."
"Oh...okay," I say in a small voice looking at my unconscious brother, his skin was pale. "What are you doing with Cole?"
She looks down at said boy. "Oh yeah, we need blood for the project and Cole was the only one I know with the right blood type. Though I think we might have taken a little too much because when we finished I stayed behind, he got out of bed walked to his window and collapsed."
"Then why are you taking him down stairs?" I question and Sonya answers, "We were taking him down stairs to make sure he gets something to eat when he wakes up. I'm gonna make cookies." Against my better instincts I perk up at the sound of cookies. "Cookies?" Bee smiles at me and I think I see Max smile too at the eager look on my face.
"You're probably up for a snack, huh?" Bee says it more as a statement than a question and glances at Max for some reason. I nod and smile, and see Max smirk back at Bee with a light, blush? "Let's go then." Bee tells the group and I, nodding her head towards the stairs. We start in that direction and then I notice John's blood soaked shirt and face, I turn to the person next to me who happens to be Max, "What is John covered in?"
"Um, we had blood for the project and he popped the bag and it got all over him." He answers me looking down since I'm a few inches shorter than him. I try not to laugh, because of the picture it puts in my mind. Even what really happened would have been funny if it had been fake blood. Max smiles at me, "What's so funny?"
"I-," I let a giggle slip, "was just thinking of what it had looked and his reaction would have been priceless!" Max laughs with me as we reach the bottom of the stairs. Everyone looks at us. "What are you two laughing about?" Allison asks.
"Nothing." We answer in unison, Allison shrugs and walks off with Sonya presumably to go make cookies.
"Hey man," John starts, looking at Max, "you got an extra shirt I can borrow?" Max shakes his head before taking off his jacket and then taking off his shirt. "No, but you can borrow this one." he says, handing it to John. Who sighs, sense Max's shirt had some blood as well, before turning to me.
"Is there a bathroom I can go wash off in real quick?" I nod, "Yeah you should probably use mine so my parents don't find the blood they'll think something happened to Cole or I and fire Bee. It's the blue door in my room." I finish pointing upstairs. He nods before heading up the stairs real quick Max glaring at him for some reason. Bee gives me one of her 'how-did-you-know' looks after laying Cole on the couch. "Max told me how John spilled the blood bag." I tell her looking towards Max after momentarily forgetting he was shirtless.
I blush upon realizing and he winks at me. 'No Y/n don't get distracted. He helped kill a guy. It doesn't matter how hot he is!' I think to myself looking away and mentally face-palming. "Ok, well I'm gonna go help Sonya with Allison, ok. Behave." Bee says, leaving us alone. I glance at the handsome guy next to me, only to see him already watching me intently. I gulp, "So...what do you want to do?"
"Hmm," he hums and I feel my heart rate accelerate. "How about some scary movies?" I nod and realize that this is like a scary movie and I am probably gonna die. "T-The TV's over there." I point to the TV room. Cole was laying in the room where we sit with guests. He nods and heading towards it, grabbing my hand and taking me with him. I feel heat creep onto my face again, curse you teenage hormones! He sits down and pulls me down with him. I pick up the remote off the coffee table and hand it to him. "Here you can pick.", I mumble out. He smirks and takes the remote. I'm not sure what movie he picked, I just sat rigid and consumed in my thoughts. Are they going to kill us? Are the police gonna show up in time? Did Cole even have a chance to call the police? Am I seriously gonna die at the hands of my crush and one of my best friends in my own house? Couldn't Bee have just got Cole's blood tonight and done the "ritual" and murder some other time?!
I was abruptly brought out of my thoughts by a scream from the movie. I jumped and unconsciously scooted into Max. Who chuckled at my reaction and looked at me. "You ok there n/n?" I nodded, "Y-Yeah?" I tried to steady my voice but it didn't work much.
He laughed again and wrapped an arm around me. "It's just a movie." "I know." I replied. "Hmm," he hummed and rested his head on mine, pulling me close. I blushed 50 shades of red and glanced in his direction. "Max," I started and he hummed as a sign for me to continue, "what are you doing?"
"Watching a scary movie." He answered and I could practically hear his smirk. "No," I said lightly slapping him on the chest, "I mean why are you holding me?"
"Because you haven't moved." I mentally facepalm feeling stupid for getting butterflies when he was just being polite. "Oh, right." I say with a slightly sad tone and start to move away, but he just holds me tighter against his side. "Wh-"
"I didn't say you could move.", he cuts me off. I look up at his face confused, "But you just said.." "I said I was holding you because you hadn't moved not that I want you to move." I just sit there slightly stunned, "O-Oh." He smirks and inhales, closing his eyes.
"Damn you smell good." He then grabs a hold of both my hips. "What are you doi-ng?!", I squeal as he lifts me onto his lap. "Watch the movie." He moves my hair from my left to the right shoulder. "Ma-" "Movie." He nuzzles into my neck kissing it lightly. I momentarily forget where we are. That he helped a murder, that my little brother is unconscious one room away, and that there are five other people in the house. I quickly turn around in Max's lap and straddle him, a leg on each side of his thighs. I rest my hands on his shoulders and kiss him. He moans slightly into the kiss, nipping at my bottom lip. I pull away, "Tell me something," I start, looking into his eyes. "I'll tell you whatever you want to know." He interrupts me kissing me again.
"Are you just going to use me?" I ask. He stops, "No," he says. I know that's not much and I should probably have looked for more of an answer, but I still smiled and kissed him again. My hands went to his hair pulling lightly. One of his arms wrapped around my waist and his free hand grabbed my thigh as he pulled me closer. I gasped slightly for air and he took that as a chance to slip his tongue in my mouth making me moan. I was about to pull his hair again when, "Damn! Who knew the nerd could be sexy!", we pulled apart to see John and Allison watching us. I then remembered where and when we were and started to pull away, but Max wasn't having it. He held me in place and looked at the two teenagers next to us.
"Do you need something?", he asked. John laughed, "The kid's waking up. We tied him to a chair to scare him a little. Let's go." Max nods and taps my leg, "You can get up now." He whispers in my ear and kisses my cheek. I stand up and go to follow Allison and John to the guest room, Max right behind me. Allison gives me a glare and I glare right back until she looks away.
We walk in and the first thing I see is a tied up, sleeping Cole starting to wake up. Max grabs a fire place poker and stands slightly behind me to my left, draping the poker across his neck and shoulders. Bee looks back and winks at me. I give her a small half smile and see Cole open his eyes. He scans the room and his dazed eyes land on Max.
"Why is he shirtless?"
