Max's POV:
No wait. I'm actually having a stroke.
"Listen, André. You're very handsome but I'm going to have to give a hard pass. You may have millions of women falling at your feet but I will not be one of them. So remove yourself out from my personal space or else." "Or else what?" Seeing the challenge in his eyes ramped up my irritation further so I pulled through with my threat using the very little self defense training I have, I jabbed his side hard enough to get his arms to give a little and change his stance in the slightest way, and slid right through his legs. While he was still holding his side and ran to the door finally escaping him, and running directly into Paul & Heidi who were leaning into the door.
Red faced and beyond ready to run for the hills again, "what were you two doing up against the door?" and then that started the fun process of watching them scrabble for the proper response to them Eves-dropping to their nephew harassing me. After a few seconds of not being able to come up with anything paul just sighs and says "we just wanted to know the tea first hand. Hold on. Am I using that properly? I keep hearing kids say it when they find out something juicy." I couldn't help but cackle. "Not really but very close." they seemed to calm from my reaction, noticing I wasn't snapping at them for everything I just encountered.
That entire calm moment was in complete ruins the second I felt a warm hand slide onto my hips pulling me back into a brick wall of a body bringing me back to what I had just endured. "André!!" trying to fight him was not very smart because I was very tiny, even with my little self defense classes, I still didn't build up that much strength and his grip just got tighter. Watching Paul smirk at Heidi, I got the hint that they knew more about this entire night than I did, and it was seriously starting to get on my nerves.
I started counting on my fingers.
The same way I do with Mia and Noah when they misbehave. They know I mean business and by the looks that Paul and Heidi have, they know what's about to go down too. André starts to notice it by the time I get to 5 and it's too late for him to save himself.
Turning around in his arms, I stare up at his skyscraper height and smile sweetly at him. He smirks thinking he's winning me over, and he starts to lean in close. Probably expecting some sugar but I have other plans for the annoying- god of a man. My smile grows the closer he gets. When he's a breathe away I stomp as hard as I can with my heel onto André's foot, getting him to crouch down closer in pain and I reach up and yank his ear like Heidi does to Paul when she's fed up with his antics. I pull him down so my mouth is right in front of his ear and whisper "release me now or you can have fun trying to hear me reject you with only one ear."
He releases me but stays in my personal space, pouting and rubbing his ear like a baby. "Bebe, that wasn't very nice. I'm going to need a kiss to make it better." Absolutely fed up I respond with "A kiss? You want a kiss?! How about you kiss my ass." "Oh. I plan to, il mio amore."
