“Sorry, I didn’t mean to. Really, I don’t think I could if I tried.” He apologised.Sophie rolled her eyes before turning around and beginning to walk back towards the dining room. Max followed after her, still chuckling. He followed behind her slowly, trying his hardest to stifle his laughter. He glanced over at the table, seeing the empty seat. He smirked a little to himself. Guess they hadn’t finished eating yet, after all.The moment Max walked out into the living room, he saw his father sat on the couch in his usual spot, reading the newspaper. He was wearing his glasses once more today, which gave Max some comfort. There weren’t too many days when he got to actually see his father without those damn glasses. Not many people would really notice it at first glance, but once you actually get to get a good look at him and take him in properly, you realize just how handsome he actually is. He’s almost always dressed nicely in suits, but whenever he’s home and has something to we
Sophie sighed. She knew that she would probably regret this decision later on, but it was either that, or Max would get upset with her for making it. Which would most likely lead to another argument. Or worse.She felt arms wrap around her waist and a chin rest on top of her head. Her boyfriend’s lips brushed against her neck.“Hi.” He whispered, causing goosebumps to rise on her skin.“Hi.” She replied, her voice soft.They sat in silence for a couple minutes, neither of them wanting to break it. They sat there, just hugging one another, breathing in the other’s scent. It was a nice kind of silence, where you didn’t need to say anything just to hear the other person breathing. Where you just existed in each other’s presence. In that moment, Sophie felt like everything was alright. Everything was perfect. She loved Max, and she loved being with him. They both loved each other, and that was all that mattered. Nothing else mattered. Nothing but them. They were in this together.“Are y
She continued listening for a little bit, until she realized that the singing was getting louder. The song was now accompanied by some instrumental music. Was someone actually singing along to the song? Who could be singing it? She never knew anyone else who sang. Was it Max? No, it was too familiar. The only person who sung this song was Max. How did she know that? She couldn’t be hearing things. That was impossible. She knew him too well to believe that.Her mind was racing and her chest was tightening. If she was hearing things, who was singing? She could recognize the voice, yet she couldn’t place where it was coming from. It seemed to be getting louder, but it was also fading away. Suddenly, she felt an arm wrap around her waist. She spun around and looked up. She found that the arms were wrapped around her from behind, while she was facing forward. She gasped and jumped back, tripping over her feet and hitting the ground with a thud.Max chuckled softly.“You scared me!” Sop
After putting the plates down, he handed her a cup of coffee and a slice of toast, which she took gratefully. She poured herself some coffee and waited for him to join her. Once he had finished his plate of food, he plopped down onto a chair opposite of her.“So, what do you plan on telling me?” She asked nervously, placing her mug down on the table.“What do you mean?”“I mean, I just want to know the full details. Are they related to what happened last night? Do they involve something to do with our families?''“No. Not at all.” Max shook his head. “They’re not related to anything.”Sophie narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Then what is it? You know, you can trust me with whatever it is. Whatever it is, I’m sure I’ll handle it just fine.”“You know I love you. Right?” He paused. “And that I would never lie to you. Even if I wanted to.''“I know that Max.” Sophie smiled. “But why are you suddenly so nervous? I know that you can tell me any time you want to. But this seems like you’re
“Are you ready to leave?” He asked, reaching over to pick up their empty dishes. She nodded and grabbed her purse. They quickly made their way downstairs and got into the car.As they drove back home she found herself looking at him from the corner of her eye. She watched as his facial features softened and softened in the sunlight that illuminated the interior of the car. There was a peaceful look in his face, almost like he hadn’t slept for days. He glanced at her briefly after a while and she realised that he was watching her. She quickly averted her gaze, trying to appear busy with whatever she was doing. However, she was unable to stop thinking about how attractive and beautiful he looked with his hair ruffled from sleep. How he looked like an angel, like everything good that had ever existed, embodied itself in one man, and she would have to hold herself together if she wanted to get through this day.Sophie woke up early the next morning, hoping that it would be another pl
“Can we talk? About last night?”“Sure. What do you wanna talk about?”“I’m sorry for kissing you like that.”“It’s okay. Don’t apologize. You don’t have to apologise. I shouldn’t have reacted like that.”“Still, I shouldn’t have pushed you so far. It was wrong of me.”“And I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. It was stupid of me. I’m glad that I did though. If I didn’t push you to do anything last night, you probably would never have come around to the idea of dating me.''''I know how much you loved your wife. You would never want to hurt her like that. We were lucky that you agreed to meet her today. Otherwise you would never have come around to the idea of dating me. And that would have been a lot harder.”“Well, yeah. I guess you’re right. But maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if you didn’t push me away. Maybe it would have been easier.”“I don’t know. I really don’t know anymore. Maybe. But you’ve made up your mind, haven’t you?''Max nodded. “I guess I have. And now you know
But eventually it was time to end the conversation and it became obvious that neither of them really wanted to be alone anymore. So, they decided to take advantage of the situation to spend the remainder of the afternoon together, doing things that they used to do whenever they went on these trips together. They walked aimlessly, trying to find some interesting sight that they could admire, but they ended up simply standing under the trees, watching the scenery pass by. They didn’t talk. All they did was stare at the view before them, taking in the beauty that surrounded them.It wasn’t until they realized that it was evening that they headed back home, carrying their backpacks. It was already dark when they got there.The next day, Saturday, they woke up early and took a stroll in the nearby park. They decided to take another trip to the mall. As soon as they entered the store, Sophie looked around, checking out everything they had left in stock.“How about something new? A new p
“That sounds amazing. Yes, I would love to do that.”He nodded slightly, turning over so that he was facing Sophie, putting his arm behind his head, resting it there while he continued gazing at her. Sophie felt herself getting nervous when she saw that he was looking at her like that. She couldn’t look away. She tried to hold his gaze, but after a short while she found herself closing her eyes and closing her mouth, feeling embarrassed. She felt his fingers brushing through her hair.“Will you kiss me?” he whispered.Her eyes flew open immediately and stared at him, her heart racing faster than ever. Her cheeks started blushing, but she didn’t move. She knew that he was talking about something other than kissing him. He must have noticed her hesitation because he added.“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. It’s totally okay if you don’t. You don’t have to.”She remained silent for a moment, not knowing what to do, before replying.“Okay.”She sat up, leaning toward him, pressi
“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
