I will upload a few more chapters, but you will have to wait for a while. I am going out of town. Sorry for the wait... but I promise to update as soon as I get home. Thanks for reading... and I hope you like how this story goes.
I also received a review that asked about the fact that if Max Evens was from money, then Liz would of already meet him... well, as you will read in the following chapters, Max came from Roswell, New Mexico. He just moved to Atlanta recently, and there family wasn't considered money until about a month ago. That is how Max and Liz have never meet before. I probably should of clarified that before. Sorry. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 6:
When I awoke, Max was still asleep, And it was already 4:28 in the afternoon. I was not sure if his parents were still here, or not. I yawned, and decided that I should wake him up. I ran my hands threw his hair, and down his face. He then opened his eyes, and I smiled at him.
"Good-afternoon handsome. Did the nap help?"
"Yeah, it really did help. What time is it?"
"Oh, 4:29, why? I hope you didn't have to be anywhere."
"No, I was just wondering. I was purpose to study for a test today, and go over and see Isabelle, but I guess one of those things can wait til tomorrow. I wonder what our parents thought when they saw us sleeping together."
Well, they either found out this is a bad idea, or they are happy for us. I am hoping that my parents are happy for us."
"Yeah, because if they think this is a bad idea, then they will probably call off the wedding. I don't want that to happen."
"Really?" I asked, and hoped that he is not going to stall, and make up an excuse to using that line, like most guys would do.
" I'm not most guys." he said.
What is that suppose to mean. Did he know what I was thinking?
"I mean, yes I want to marry you. I was just saying that most guys probably wouldn't admit that, but I will. And I mean it. I really like you Liz, and I am so glad that you are going to be my wife." and after he said that, he kissed me. It was so heartfelt, that it almost made me melt. I kissed him back with such love, that he had to of felt it.
Wait, hold the phone... Did I just kiss him back with love? Do I love Max? I think I might. But I shouldn't we barely know each other. But I don't care, I am going to live life and enjoy every minuet of it.
We pulled apart, and sat up. I started to slide off of the bed, and so did he. We walked down stairs together, and I heard my parents talking in the office. I told him to stay in the hall, I had to talk to my parents. When I walked in, my parents stopped there conversation, and motioned me to sit down.
"Where is Max?" my father was the first to speak.
"In the hall, do you want him to come in also?" I was waiting for them to say no, but my father said "Yes."
He called Max in, and max sat down in the chair next to me. There was a moment of silence, then my father started his lecture.
"The two of you just met one another today, I am suggesting." my father said, Max and I looked at each other, but didn't say anything. We let my father continue. "The way the two of you act around each other seems like you like each other. I am glad. Liz, I know you thought that this arrangement was to make your life miserable, but that is not why we did it. I know you didn't dream of an arranged marriage, ever, but it happened. The thought that the two of you like each other to even contemplate marriage, with out frowning at the idea, is great. I want you to be happy, so that is why, we came up with this decision. After your mothers saw you two sleeping together, they told us. All four of us made a decision that if you wanted to live together in Max's apartment, then that would be acceptable. I know this is very fast for the both of you, but you don't have to say yes. You can say no. I would like it if the two of you got to know each other more, but I don't want you two to move to fast. Just think about it." he said.
I sat there just going threw everything my father had said. He could just be putting up a front in front of Max, but it sounded like he cares about me, and wants the best for me. I looked at Max, and saw a smile in his eyes. I turned to him, and asked "What do you think? Do you want me to move in?"
"Yes, if you want to."
I nodded, and turned to my father. "Thanks dad, for this option, and I think that it would be best it I did move in with him. We barely know each other, and our living together, we can get to know each other better. And I think it would be best if I spent the night there tonight, and moved some of my stuff in tomorrow. Is that okay with you Max?"
"Yeah, it is fine with me. It is Saturday, and there is not school tomorrow. I think it is a great idea."
"Is that okay with you dad?"
"Yes, what ever you want to do is fine with me."
When he said that, I stood, walked around his desk, and gave him a hug. It was the only time that I felt close to my father. All threw my life he was just there to put food on the table, and not he is really acting like a father.
I let him go, and walked toward the office door. Max followed, and when we were out of the office, he grabbed for my hand and held it while we talked upstairs to my room. I entered my room first, then he followed, and closed the door. I opened my closet door, and brought out a dark blue duffle bag. I laid it on my bed, and pulled out a shirt, and a pair of jeans from my closet.
I really wasn't playing any attention to what Max was doing, until it was to late. He had located my under-ware drawer. He pulled out a red teddy that Maria bought for my on my 18th birthday. It was a gag gift, but I still kept it incase I needed it in the future. He held it up to me, and gave a sexy grin. "We are definitely going to use this tonight. You would look so hot in this. I am getting turned on just thinking about it." he smiled, and raised his eyebrows. That was a major turn-on for me.
"No, we have to save a few things for the honeymoon. And that is going to be one of them." I grabbed it out of his hand, and put it back into my drawer. I grabbed a pair of panties, and put it into my duffle bag. I then went into my bathroom, and pulled out a make-up bag, and put the essentials in it. One of them being my Birth Control Pills. I have been on them ever since my 18th birthday. When I was old enough to go to the gynecologists's office with out them calling my parents. And it was the best decision I have ever made. I didn't want my parents to know that I was on the pill, and that I could be having sex. They still think that I am a virgin, and I would like them to think that for as long as possible. When I had everything I needed, I zipped up my bag, and before I could pick it up...Max did it for me. He is such a gentlemen. I looked at him. Smiled. Said, "Thank you." and then kissed him.
When I pulled away, he said "What for?"
"For being so sweet to me."
And with that, we walked downstairs, hand-in-hand. When we reached the front door, my mother stopped me, and asked "Are you coming over tomorrow to get some of your things?"
"Yeah, that was what I was planning on. Why?"
"Oh, I was just thinking that we could have a mother daughter talk tomorrow before you leave. I would like it if you considered it."
"I will. I will see you tomorrow. Bye mom."I said, and kissed her on the check, and gave her a hug.
Why were my parents being the best when I was leaving? They are messed up when they had my entire life to care about me, and they didn't. Now, that I was leaving, they act like they care.
Max and I went to his car, and drove 45 minuets to his apartment. We didn't talk, just listened to the radio. I laid my head on his shoulder, and had my arm wraped around his arm. I don't think that I have ever been happier.
