"Nice car" Max commented "must have set you back"
"Well, I like to spoil myself" Zoe smiled as she opened the door of her new car
"I guessed that" max smiled "those shoes aren't exactly cheap"
Once safely in Zoe's new car max decided to bring up the dreaded subject.
"Zoe, about when you left..."
"What about it?"
"About what I said..."
"You didn't mean it" Zoe continued "I know"
"No" max almost shouted, afraid that Zoe was getting the wrong idea "I meant it, more than anything in the world..."
Zoe didn't want max to say anything more; it was hurting her enough seeing him, never mind him getting all soppy.
Zoe speeded off when she saw the guests beginning to leave the church, giving max to excuse that she didn't want them to see her.
"Zoe, if you would let me finish"
"Max, don't get all soppy on me, not now, please?"
The rest of the car journey lay in heavily silence giving Zoe and Max time to think.
"Sorry" Zoe apologized
"For what?"
"Leaving" Zoe admitted as she rubbed the back of her neck "I was a coward; I realized that we were turning into more than a bit of fun"
The car stopped outside Tamzin's wedding reception. Zoe and max were left in looking at each other in silence.
"I..." Max didn't have a clue what he was supposed to say to Zoe's apologizing
"You don't have to say anything" Zoe waved her hand in the air, scanning Max's facial features as she realized how close he was to her.
"I just..." Zoe looked in the air hoping words would come to mind, only to be silenced by Max's finger to her lips.
Sliding that finger away and moving closer, Max's lips were within effortless touching distance, they were only disturbed by a knock at the car window.
"Hold that thought" Zoe put a finger to Max's lips as he moved forward
"Charlie" a wide smile appeared on Zoe's face as she stepped out of her car
Max was still in the same position not believing the timing Charlie had chosen.
"Zoe" Charlie smiled, pulling her into a hug "what brings you here?"
"According to tamzin, a wedding wouldn't be the same without me" Zoe rolled her eyes, not quite believing what Tamzin had previously said
"Well, the party Zoe always did have to come out" Charlie laughed "didn't see you at the ceremony?"
"I was late" Zoe rolled her eyes as Charlie answered back "as usual"
"I saw Max there so gave him a lift round" was Zoe pathetic excuse to why Max was in her car
"Right"
"Come here" Zoe pulled Charlie closer fixing his tie "things seem to slip when I'm gone"
Max stepped out of Zoe's car, awkwardly standing beside Charlie and Zoe
"Come here" Zoe pulled Max closer, fixing her terrible attempt of a tie
"I thought that was a very good attempt, thank you very much" Max tried to sound serious, a smile escaping is lips when he looked down at Zoe's concentrated face
"That's exactly what it was, an attempt!" Zoe rolled her eyes "a retarded octopus could have done better" Zoe looked up, her and Max's eyes meeting for just a few seconds
With a suspicious Charlie standing beside them will the truth finally come out? Cause nothing lasts forever.
