So far this summer has sucked. Michael and I broke up, Liz and Max broke up and to top it all off, Liz has left for the summer. So I don�t even have anyone to talk to, but that�s all going to change today. Max has been sitting in that booth for the last hour just mooning over his cherry coke and I�m going to put a stop to his loneliness and mine.
�Max,� I say walking over to his booth. He looks up at me slowly with that pathetic wounded look on his face. �How about you and I get together tonight and do something?�
�I guess so. What did you have in mind?� he asked. I noticed that he didn�t seem to thrilled with the idea but decided to let it slide.
�How about a movie? I�ll pick you up tonight at 7:00. Leave the frown at home.� I walked away with a smile not even waiting for an answer.
I arrived at the Evans house at 7:00 on the dot. A miracle in itself considering it a taken me an hour to decide on what to wear, but that�s something I refuse to even think about. Max was ready when I arrived and I must say he looked really good in his faded jeans black t-shirt and leather jacket. We looked good together, because I had finally decided on my tight black t-shirt and a jean mini skirt I hadn�t worn in ages.
The movie was great and afterwards we went to have coffee and talked for hours. It was the best time I can remember having in years. I never realized how funny and talkative Max could be once you got him started. �I had a great time tonight Maria. I think this is something we need to do more often.� Max said with a questioning light in his eyes.
�I would love to, I had a really great time with you.� I said with a smile. I stared in to his eyes for what seemed like hours but know was only seconds before I leaned in a brushed my lips against his in a brief touch. �I�ll see you tomorrow� with that I turned and walked back to my car. He stood on the porch for a minute before going into the house and a slow smile spread across my face. I�m not sure what�s going to happen but I can�t wait to find out.
