Max was in his room packing a suitcase. He had no idea how much clothing to take. He was hoping he wouldn't need too much. But since they would be staying in- he assumed he would need bare minimum.

When he was sure he had enough he went back to the main house and made sure everything was ready for dinner. Milo was waiting for him. "Ready to go?" Milo asked.

Max chuckled nervously, "Beyond ready" Max told him.

"Sonny bought the whole girlfriend thing?" Milo asked.

Max nodded, "I hate lying to him"

"He will get over it" Milo assured him. "Now go"

Max was heading for the door when Sonny came in. "Max- where can you be reached?"

"What?" Max asked.

"In case of emergency, where can I reach you?" Sonny repeated the question.

"My cell phone" Max advised him.

"What hotel will you be at?" Sonny asked.

Max hesitated, "The Metrocourt" Max replied and immediately regret that. What if he called?

"What is your girlfriends name?" Sonny asked.

"Carrie" Max said then again regretted it. Carrie- Carrie is another nickname for Caroline. "Carrie Smith"

Sony nodded but looked suspicious, "Carrie- sounds familiar" He shrugged, "have a good evening Max"

Max nodded and said goodbye to everyone. He jumped into his car and headed for Carly's house. He tried not be nervous on his way over to her house. Once he got that he was careful getting out of the car making sure no one saw him. The front door was locked but Max knew where she kept her spare key. He took it out from above the rafter and unlocked her door.

"Carly" He called. "Hey babe"

Carly ran out of the kitchen. Still wearing the sleeveless red shirt and short skirt. She looked so good it physically hurt him. "You're here," Carly said. 'Thank goodness- I was going crazy. I was getting so bored. I was about to call Jason and see if he wanted to do dinner"

Max was jealous at the mention of Jason but kept it to himself he just smiled, "Well- I am here now" Max said, "How about finishing that kiss we started at the boss's earlier?"

Carly leaned forward and allowed herself to be swept up in Max's arms. The kiss started very superficially but soon it developed into one of the deepest kisses either had ever shared. Max pulled away first, "At this rate we wont make it through dinner"

"That is the plan" Carly teased but she pulled away. "I cooked"

Max stopped when she said that. "Wait, you cooked?" he asked. That news made him very nervous. He had seen Carly make a few efforts to cook and it never turned out well.

Carly started laughing. "I didn't cook exactly." She admitted. "The MetroCourt did"

Max sighed in relief. "Well- I am starving. Lead me to the food"

Carly took Max's hand and led him to the living room. "I will bring the food to you" she told him. "Get comfortable"

Max leaned back against the couch and closed his eyes. This was the best day ever and he knew it could only get better.

Stan found Milo watching the boys while they played outside. "Where is Max?" he asked.

Milo made sure the boys couldn't hear. "With Carly" Milo whispered.

"Where?" Jason asked coming up behind them. "Did you say with Carly?"

"I-I-uh" Milo stuttered. He hung his head. "Yes"

Jason was stunned. "Why is he with Carly?" he asked. "They aren't sleeping together are they?"

Milo didn't answer but Jason knew the truth. What he didn't know was what to do with that information. If Sonny knew then Max would lose his job but he didn't like the idea of keeping this from Sonny. "For now your brother's secret is safe with me" Jason said and left them there.

Stan started to laugh but Milo felt awful. "Max is going to kill me," Milo said.

"That dinner was great Carly" Max told her. "Thank you"

Carly smiled and pushed his plate away. "You're welcome" she replied. Carly leaned forward and kissed Max. He turned her over and laid her back on the couch.

"Excuse me" Jason said form behind them.

Max jumped off the couch and turned around. "Jason- I can explain"

Jaosn held up a hand. "No need." He smirked and then looked at Carly. "Would you excuse us please?"

"Jason" Carly started.

He smiled at her. "Carly-please?"

She stood up and smoothed her clothes down. She gave Max's arm a squeeze and then went upstairs. Jason sat down on the couch. "Let's chat" Jason said.

Max didn't move or respond. He just waited for Jason to continue. "How long has this been going on?"

"Not long" Max replied.

Jason just started to laugh. "This is bizarre Max" Jason told him. "I don't know what to do here"

"Please Jason, here me out?" Max asked.

Jason nodded and motioned for him to go on.

"I know Sonny would freak out if he knew about this. I know I would lose my job and I know this is wrong. But I love her. She loved me and we are starting a really good relationship here. I plan on telling Sonny when the time is right"

Jason ran his hands through his hair. "Ok, Max" he relented. "Have a good weekend." Jason stood up and pause by the door. "Don't make me keep this secret long"
