"Alright then," she whispered quietly.

"Just promise me that you'll talk to us eventually. We're here for you."

"Thank you," Max murmured quietly.

He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. His heart began beating faster as he prepared himself for whatever he was about to do.

He knew that he might end up hurting her or causing her trouble.

But he couldn't stand seeing her depressed either. So, he decided that it was best if he told her everything about his problems. He couldn't put it off any longer.

"Okay, I will tell you. Now please sit down next to me," he said gently, patting the spot beside him on the couch.

"It's easier if we're close together."

Sophie nodded. She moved closer to him and sat next to him while placing both of her hands around his arm.

She leaned against his side as he wrapped his arm around her. They remained silent for several seconds until finally, he cleared his throat.

"So, uhm...let's start with my childhood," he began hesitantly.

    "Good!" Sophie beamed happily. "Can I watch with you tonight?""Of course! You always love watching with me," her mother giggled.Sophie grinned widely, climbing onto the sofa next to her mother. She quickly situated herself comfortably. After setting the remote aside, Sophie scooted back, getting comfortable. Once she was settled, her mother placed an arm around her daughter. Sophie smiled at her mother lovingly. She leaned her head against her mother's shoulder, closing her eyes slowly. Her mother continued to hold her, stroking her hair gently. "Is everything alright, baby girl?" her mother asked."Everything's fine," Sophie assured her mother."Good," her mother smiled softly. She pressed a quick kiss to Sophie's temple. "I love you, Sophie.""Love you too," Sophie murmured softly, smiling gently.She couldn't help but wonder what her mother was thinking about while they watched their favorite TV show. Why she was acting so oddly. Why she kept looking at her strangely. The qu

    "So…" she trailed off, glancing up at Max uncertainly. "What do you think? Which place should we go to?""Well, since it doesn't have a lot of people around, I think we should go to the park," Max suggested."That sounds nice. How come?""Because it's quiet there," Max answered simply.Sophie smiled to herself. Of course, he'd say something like that. Of course he'd suggest that they go to the park. Because, obviously, that is where the best place would be for him. He'll probably say something along the lines of "it will be a nice change of pace" or something like that. Honestly, it wasn't even surprising.'' ''This was Max. Even if Sophie was the one that chose where they went, he'd make sure that they always went to the same place.'' After all, that was just how he was. He always made sure to keep things the same. And it was true. The park was a good place for them. He'd always liked the park."Okay," she nodded. "The park it is."She smiled softly, leaning her head against his

    "Do you think we're being watched?" she asked worriedly.Max shook his head quickly."No," he assured her. "Not at all.""Are you sure?""Positive," he insisted. "I'm certain."Sophie looked at him skeptically for a few moments before deciding not to press the matter any further. She trusted him. It didn't seem to be wise to push the issue. Besides, he seemed fairly confident in his response. So, for the rest of the walk back, neither of them spoke, instead focusing on the scenery surrounding them. Occasionally, they'd glance at the other, both unable to contain their smiles upon seeing the expressions on the other person's faces, but unable to stop them from appearing anyway. Sometimes, one or the other would break the eye contact first, laughing nervously afterwards. At times like these, it was impossible to tell who was blushing from embarrassment and whose laughter was from nervousness.They arrived at their destination soon enough and Sophie lead the way inside of her house,

    Even when things weren't perfect, she always knew that everything would turn out fine. That everything would work out somehow. Even though she had nothing left now that she lost everyone in her family, she still believed that the world would be a better place without them in it. That, despite all of this, she would eventually have somewhere to call home. That somewhere had to be somewhere better. And as far as she was concerned, she hoped that wherever she ended up, Max was waiting for her.Once she had finished stretching out and looking out her window, she heard footsteps approaching her bedroom door. She didn't bother to turn around to see who it was knowing very well that it was Max. However, she wasn't expecting it to actually be him. She felt her heart skip a beat when she finally saw him."Good morning," he greeted cheerily."Morning," she answered quietly."What're you still doing up?" he continued curious."I couldn't get back to sleep," she admitted quietly. "I couldn't

    They were probably never going to speak to him again. Even if they forgave him, he doubted that they would ever trust him again."Well, then maybe one of them will answer the door," she suggested."One of them is busy, Sophie. None of them are willing to spend their days answering the door to me when they could be spending their days with their loved ones. They don't care," he insisted, refusing to look at her.Sophie sighed softly. She wished that she still stayed away from Max. There was absolutely no way she could be around him right now. His presence only reminded her of everything that had happened the previous night. All the pain and suffering that she'd gone through in order to get over it... it was all coming back at full force. The tears that she'd struggled so desperately to hold back began to trickle slowly down her cheeks. She wasn't sure whether she wanted to cry or yell, but either way, she felt like she wanted to do both. She felt like she needed both. She felt like

    "We can't live together forever," she pointed out sadly."But we can stay together forever," he countered firmly."That's not enough," she said, shaking her head. "Not anymore.""How about a compromise?" he proposed.Sophie frowned confusedly, staring up at him questioningly."What kind of compromise?" she questioned."If you promise to give us a chance, I'll stay. For as long as you'll have me, I'll stay."Sophie hesitated for a moment, wondering if that was what she really wanted. After all, they had already established that they didn't belong together. It wasn't fair to ask him to stay when it was obvious that he didn't belong there. Besides, it was selfish of her to ask him to stay after all of these years. She had only brought him back here to keep an eye on him. If she was forced to admit it, she knew that it was also selfish of her to even suggest the idea. She didn't want to leave him behind. She knew that she couldn't do that. But she also knew that she couldn't ask him t

    They spent the rest of the day walking around the city. Not that they did anything interesting. They didn't do anything except talking and laughing the entire day. Sophie was exhausted, but somehow it didn't bother her as much as it should. Instead, she enjoyed the feeling of his arms wrapped around her and the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded her. Max didn't seem to have any complaints and neither did she. Maybe it was because she had convinced herself that she couldn't love him anymore. She couldn't stand looking at him. Everything reminded her too much of the past. And she didn't like thinking about that part of her life as much as she liked thinking about how much she loved him. Her memories of him were becoming tainted by the pain that her past had caused her. They were changing her. Slowly, but surely, they would break her and turn her into someone else. Someone who didn't know how to love anymore. And Max…she didn' t want to ruin his happiness. She didn't want to dra

    "I don't know, maybe we could start small and see where it goes? We could spend some nights together...sleep in each others bed...stuff like that.""Like what?""Like cuddling," he whispered shyly, averting his gaze.She nodded her head slowly. She was tempted to agree to everything that he suggested but she knew that she was playing with fire. And she knew that the second Max found out about her relationship with Max, he wouldn't approve of it. No matter how kind Max was to her, he was still a man. And she knew that he could never accept that. She needed to prove to him that she wasn't weak and fragile. That she could hold her own. And he needed to learn that.Max walked into Sophie's office while carrying two glasses of her favorite drinks. He had decided to drop by her place just for the hell of it, hoping to find her alone and drinking. And as soon as he saw her sitting at her desk typing away furiously on her laptop, he sighed audibly and took off his leather jacket before pla

    “It will be alright, babe. Everything is going to be fine.” Sophie tried to breathe deeply, trying to regain her composure. She knew that nothing was going to be okay if her parents won’t visit the baby, but that wasn’t going to be happening anytime soon. “We’re going to raise this baby together. Your parents are coming to us. I won’t let them leave us behind.” Sophie laughed softly. “That sounds like something a supervillain would say.” Max laughed along with her, kissing Sophie’s forehead.They sat side by side on the edge of the pool. Max was playing with Sophie’s hair absentmindedly, stroking her hair through the wet strands. The water glistened underneath them, reflecting their faces. Sophie had her chin resting on Max’s shoulder. It was peaceful, just the two of them in the middle of nowhere, with nowhere to be except for this private place where they could hide from everyone and everything. Max’s house was huge, and there were so many rooms to explore, but Sophie and Max fo

    Sophie feels so happy with her husband Max, she kept kissing him so passionately in his office, that Max finally asked for a break and they made out on the couch until Sophie felt so breathless it was almost painful to stand up straight. They were still holding hands, Sophie could feel Max’s calloused fingers around hers, as he walked them towards their bedroom. He pressed against Sophie, making his way down slowly until they reached the bed where he pushed her onto the mattress. Sophie giggled as he crawled over her. She felt like she could burst with happiness every time he came home from work after long days at the hospital, when it had taken him hours to go home and rest. He told her that he always needed a few minutes before going home, to calm himself before facing her, because seeing her face was such a beautiful sight. He said that even though she looked tired, her eyes were sparkling like stars. Sophie knew that he didn’t lie to her. His green eyes sparkled as well, and

    “I love you, Sophie” he said huskily, staring deeply into her eyes. She smiled at him lovingly before she pressed her lips against his once more, pulling him even closer. She reached down and grabbed hold of the hem of his T-shirt, pulling it over his head quickly and tossing it to the floor. He stood up from the bed and pulled his boxers off. Once his pants and shoes were discarded to the ground, he crawled back up on top of her. He held himself above her, hovering over her body. He stared down at her, studying her features carefully. “Are you sure about this?” He mumbled, staring intently into her eyes. She smiled sweetly and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yes. I want you so badly. I’ve waited too long. Let me show you exactly what I mean.” She whispered. “Show me.” He whispered back. She slipped one of her legs between his knees and placed both of her hands around his neck. With a swift movement, she yanked on his hair and rolled onto her back. “Oh yeah, Max!” She cried

    “Missed you too.” She replied. The next moment, she felt Max’s hands traveling slowly up her back. When he was touching her, goosebumps appeared on her arms. He noticed how tense she became and immediately stopped moving. He stared at her for a long time without saying a word. She raised her head and looked directly into his eyes. His expression told her everything. He was completely mesmerized by her, and he didn’t know how to react anymore. “Max, please…” Sophie breathed, breaking the silence. She needed him right now. “I’ll stop.” He mumbled. “No, Max. Please don’t stop, I need you.” She pleaded, looking at him with those big beautiful blue eyes. Her hands were gripping onto the sides of his face, pleading with him to not stop. His eyes softened and he took his hands off of her and moved them behind her neck. He pulled her closer and connected their lips together. As soon as their lips touched she felt her entire body shiver. It felt nice. Her arms slowly started circling h

    Max broke the kiss first, his breathing heavily. He kept his head close to hers, his eyes staring deep into hers. He caressed her cheeks with his hands and smiled. Her eyes were filled with tears. She was crying. He wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes with his thumb. “Are you okay?” He asked worriedly. “Yea. I’m fine,” she replied softly, sniffling. “Just...just happy.” She said, letting out a quiet sob. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. “Me too, I’m just really happy that I can hold you in my arms again.” He whispered against her hair. She looked up at him and kissed his nose. She couldn’t help smiling. “You’re so adorable.” She whispered, nuzzling her nose against his. He smiled. He knew exactly why she was acting like that. She was nervous. She was scared that he might leave her if she confessed what she really felt. He understood perfectly well why she was acting that way. But that wasn’t something he was going to allow to happen. He

    Max shivered involuntarily and Sophie immediately put her arms around him. They stood like that for a minute or two, feeling each other’s warmth, enjoying the feeling of the other person beside them. Once they had calmed down, they went upstairs to get changed out of their damp clothes. After they had gotten dressed, they were seated on the couch in the living room watching TV. Sophie was resting her head against his shoulder and was looking at him expectantly. He had an idea and a grin crept across his face. He gently leaned forward and kissed her forehead. She blushed lightly. She looked up at him questioningly and raised an eyebrow. “What’s this for?” She asked curiously. Max smiled happily. “It’s nothing special. It’s just a thank you kiss. A very special thanks. Now go and get ready, we’re going to go somewhere very special tomorrow.” He said smiling happily. Sophie jumped to her feet. She hugged him tightly. “Yes! Thank you!” She whispered excitedly. He chuckled and held he

    “Do you wanna talk about what’s bothering you? We don’t need to talk if you don’t want us to.” He spoke softly, hoping that she wouldn’t hate him for asking. Sophie’s shoulders dropped a bit. “No, we should probably talk. It will make everything easier for both of us if we talk it out.” She replied quietly. Max nodded. As soon as he parked the car in their parking lot, he turned off the ignition. Sophie looked confused as well as nervous. She opened her door slowly. Max grabbed her hand before she closed it. She looked back at him with a questioning gaze. “Are you sure? You don’t have to do this if you’re uncomfortable.” He assured her. Sophie looked thoughtful for a minute. “I just wish my mom wouldn’t make a big deal out of everything. She’s never liked me dating guys.” She confessed. “My father and my sister always support me and they’ve been great about my dating life, but they always treat me different when I bring boys home. Mom always says that I’m not good enough for any

    Max kept staring at Sophie, the most beautiful girl he ever seen, she always looks so perfect for him and he always want to kiss her. She was smiling in his direction, which made his heart flutter inside his ribcage. She was the first one to notice his stare. “Hey, don’t look like you just saw a ghost. You’re making me nervous!” She laughed. Her laugh is beautiful too but Max didn’t mind it that much because her laugh was always contagious, even though he knows she probably wasn't talking about laughing at him. He smiled back at her, trying not to blush. “Sorry. I’m just admiring how gorgeous you are today. And your smile is so bright! I can already tell you will make many handsome suitors when you graduate this university in the next five years!” He said with a cheesy grin plastered on his face as if he would actually have any chance of winning her hand. He’s been crushing on her since their first meeting. She was the one who introduced them. They were standing in line waiting

    Still, the moment that he met Ms. Anderson, he realized that he couldn’t hold on to all the negative feelings that he had harbored for a while. After all, she didn’t treat him any differently, except for her son. She treated him the same way she would treat anybody else, no matter if they were born here or not. And so far, she had never once done anything to indicate that she would be unhappy with the situation he had found himself in.“Well, I’m glad to hear that. Now, do you want something to drink? I’ll get it ready right now. Do you want to sit down anywhere or should I go upstairs and get the glasses out for you?” she questioned, looking at him.“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine by myself,” he said, waving his hand dismissively.With that said, she got up from the sofa, headed towards the stairs, and headed up.Max looked around the living room. It seemed as if everything had remained intact throughout the years, although he knew that there were signs of changes ov
