Secret affairs~
It was summer vacation, and some of them were at Max's place. They were desperate enough to tour the New York City, and Max heard no ends from their demands. Hence, he bought them and arranged for their stay. They all were staying in a hotel. But, Tyson got a stomach ache after binging on the hotel food excessively, hence he came to stay at Max's place for care.
Thankfully, the All Starz were there, even though Emily was the only one who volunteered to help out Max. The others were pretty laid back in that regard. Michael hates being a tour guide, Eddy was not interested. He was dating a woman, and they have been hanging out. Steve decided to rest himself a bit, and Rick just gave off an excuse. Judy was busy with her job, and she took the help of her senior assistants, hence Emily was a bit free at that moment. Her house was not that far from Judy's, yet it was forty-minute travel from there, by car.
However, none knew what Max and Emily were actually up to.
Tyson, Hilary, Ray, and Mariah were there. A few others were hanging out. The psykicks had a great experience traveling, hence they took the rest to amazing places.
"I don't know why we all were staying here. Should've gone with Kane and friends, duh," Hilary exhaled as she sat on the sofa.
"I know you are staying back for Tyson, who has a stomach ache at the moment," Mariah giggled.
"But, why is Emily here?" Ray asked.
"What bothers you guys, I am just there because I wanted to. None of your business." She walked back. Ray shrugged, and Mariah giggled again.
Mariah and Hilary were seated on the sofa, with Tyson laying himself on the other. Ray opted to stay and help Tyson since he can cook well. Mariah would always be by Ray's side. Emily is the biggest question here. Hilary and Mariah were sharing endless gossip, whereas Ray was trying to tame Tyson, the untamable.
"Tyson, you gotta sit and rest! Don't roam anywhere! You have gotten stomach pain!" Ray kept chasing him. He was attempting to eat some junkies, hence Ray had to perform his stunts to stop him at all costs.
"Where are Max and Emily? I don't see them here at all," Hilary asked when she looked around.
"Something's fishy, I know. Emily has been weird ever since the tour began." Mariah was worried now.
"Riah Hilary, please come and help me! This kid is behaving worse than Daichi is!" Ray pulled Tyson's shirt while he was attempting to steal some candies. Emily just showed up and grabbed Tyson's legs. They laid him down back in the safe. Ray sighed out of exhaustion and rested his head on Mariah's shoulder. She gently stroked his head. Hilary nudged her. Mariah amusingly hit her head.
"Riah, can you tell how to impress a man…." she gritted her teeth and continued, glaring at Tyson, "... who is so in love with food? Mariah nervously chuckled and replied, "Just let it come naturally Hil. Don't try to impress just for the sake of impressing…. But for the sake of love," Mariah kissed Ray's cheek.
"That's my babe," Ray hung his hand on her shoulders after getting up. He proceeded to make porridge for Tyson.
"Aye, you doofus! How dare you make porridge?! Give me some delicious pizzas you sussy baka!"
"Shut that up! Consider eating something bland!" Ray shot deadly glares. Tyson fretted and obeyed. Ray's look turned kawaii in just a second.
"Good boy!"
Tyson sighed and fell on the sofa again. Max later entered the group. Emily smirked and Max smiled back at her. Nobody noticed.
"Hi Max, you came at the right time man. You are the only person Tyson would listen to, so please help us tame him."
"Ah jeez," Max rubbed his head and sat beside him. Emily was impishly grinning at him. Max's face was turning crimson with every second. Tyson was bewildered to see Emily showering flirtatious glances on Max. Tyson was gasping and nearly said, "aah". Emily found Tyson catching their glances, and went to him.
"Aah, what the hell is happening here? Max and Emily-"
Emily shut his mouth, and Max clutched his torso. They both pulled him to his room and slammed the door hard from inside. The other three were completely clueless about what was happening.
"What the hell was that?" Mariah asked. Ray shrugged. Hilary sensed that something was more than fishy. Her eyes narrowed down. She thought of hearing through the door but just decided to sit back on the sofa. Her hands were tied and tried to guess the scenario. Mariah silently perched to her side. Her forehead wrinkled. Her head was breaking from inside. She rubbed her head.
"Hey, just cool down Hilly."
"Jeez, rough, I'd rather wait for all of them to come out. Just chill this off."

"What the fuck were you both doing? What's going on between both of you? You guys gotta tell me."
"Well, Tyson…. We both are actually in…." Max paused.
"In Love, Tyson." Emily completed.
"Aah, my god! Should tell this to everyone now!" Tyson was about to go out but they stopped him.
"Stop it, Tyson, this is not a big deal!" Emily exclaimed.
"It is a big deal!" Tyson parted away from them.
"Please Tyson, I am begging you. Don't tell this anybody, no one knows."
"How, when?"
"Well, around a few months ago… we umm… proposed to each other in Vegas."
"In Vegas?!" Tyson was dumbfounded.
"Yeah Tyson, but please! Don't tell this to anyone!" Emily was begging him. Max had a puppy-eyes look.
Tyson gave up and replied in a dissatisfied tone, "Alright!"
Max and Emily sighed out of relief, then shared some smirky glances.
"Well, what are both up to, now?"
Emily waggishly smiled and advanced to Max. She gently surmounted her arms around his shoulders and he clutched her waist, drawing her closer. The act was closely followed by an intense kiss.
"I don't want to see that!" Tyson palmed his eyes.

"What just happened, Tyson? Why did they drag you inside?" Hilary asked, wobbling Tyson's shoulder. Max and Emily closely followed.
"Well umm…. Since Raul, Julia, and Mathilda's birthdays are coming close, we were discussing it. Tyson was about to blurt the truth out when Emily was about to call Julie, right?" Max rolled his eyes at Emily. She nodded her head nervously. Hil was suspicious but doesn't want to waste her energy, hence she just agreed. Mariah went with her.
Thankfully, Ray wasn't there. He was busy cooking, otherwise, he would have ragged Tyson with plenty of questions.
A couple of minutes later, the others just returned. The Psykicks were leading them, thanks to their traveling experiences. Kane was extremely exhausted and almost collapsed at the entrance, closely followed by Salima who had a very hard time finding Mathilda who got lost on the trip.
"Oh no, those both!" Emily exclaimed and bought water for both of them. Mariah and Hilary were amused, and smirked at each other, indirectly teasing both Kane and Salima.
"I hope you got it, Mariah!"
"Ah yes, Hilly!" Mariah winked.
"Kane and Salima are like the parents, who have come home after taking their kids a tour, right?" Hilary teased them, as she bought some more water for them. She slowly let Salima sip it.
"Ah well, that was so cute of you Hilly," Salima responded in her tired voice. She gave a genuine smile to Kane, and he kinda agreed with the brunette. Hilary and Mariah were astounded, and Mariah nearly dropped the bottle before feeding Kane the water.
"Well, consider it like a pre-parenting practice, Hilary," Kane remarked.
Tyson was bewildered to no end.
'Max and Emily, Kane and Salima? What else is just left out?'
That day, all were planning to spend time at Max's place and get to the hotel after dinner. While others were making the preparations, Tyson was breaking his head about Max and Emily. Although he and Hilary were kinda dating, he felt it was nowhere near the level of how Max and Emily are taking their relationship. Kane and Salima on the other hand have been travelers for a handful of years, so he isn't shocked much. He is very perplexed about the two Americans. What if Judy spots them when they are smooching each other?

"Salima, have you prepared the milkshakes?" Mariah asked while taking out the pizzas from the oven.
"Yes, Mari."
"Okay Sal, I will just go and get the chocolates for decorations. Just take care of the stuff here."
"Sure!"
When Mariah was about to leave, she saw Kane coming.
"Salima is there," she winked.
"I know," Kane responded after planting an impish grin. Salima removed her gloves and went close to him. There came the deepest smooch on the planet. Mariah gave an amused look and ran off.
Tyson was just walking by and was bewildered to see the duo kissing so hard in the hot kitchen.
"Come on Kane! This is not enough! Kiss me harder!"
"Patience lady. You will see more," he gasped, searching for air, and kissed her again.
"Aww, that's just sweet darling."
"There are sweeter things yet to come Sally."
Ray and Mariah just entered the chamber and were amused. He nudged Kane after seeing him kissing the redhead in burning passion. He wished Ray good luck when he would kiss Mariah like that.
'Are they making the kitchen hot, or is it the other way around?' Tyson thought. He was about to pull out every hair from his scalp while trying to know about all the relationships taken to a different level. He feared if his stomach could get worse because of that, but hoped to get better before the grand dinner comes by.
He was feeling giddy about all the intimate relationships around him.

The dinner was over. All were packing up. Meanwhile, Mathilda and Hilary were walking on the balcony, and they got an amazing view of New York city there. The air was so fresh, and they wished they could stay there all day long.
Suddenly, their eyes nearly popped out while looking at two familiar people. The opposite side just had a Karaoke place, and the two of them were kissing. The window in their room was open, and their act was made obvious.
"Aah! Max and Emily! Max and Emily! Max and Emily! My eyes! My eyes!" Mathilda exclaimed.
"Oh no, what the actual fuck?" Hilary's palms were on her mouth. Mariah just heard their noise and came running.
"Hilary! Mathilda! It's just okay! I know?"
"You know?" Hilary asked.
"Yeah! Emily has left her phone here, and I was checking her chats with Max!"
"You know then?"
"Yes Mathilda, I know! But Ray doesn't know... Kai has no clue either, so you both have to stop screaming!" There was a silence after Mariah's gasp.
"Man, what is happening here? Things are so strange, duh," Mariah said.
"Girls, what is happening here?" Judy was bringing a bucket to take all the dry clothes hanging. The girls started jumping and hiding Judy's vision towards the Karaoke place. The worst part was, that they were smooching on the same floor of the balcony.
"Aah, Judy! T-T-There was a toad here! We are scared! Let's get down soon!" Hillary kept jumping along with Mathilda to hide Max and Emily.
"You girls are acting weird, any problem?"
"N-Nothing! We came to call Max. He is not there at home."
"Ah yes, they both have gone out for a small date outside. Just for a while."
"Eh?!" the girls were shocked. How the hell does Judy know about their affair?
"Ah well…. They are already twenty-three, and I might get them married in some years. I am perfectly fine with them in love. And well, they are just there in the opposite building, hahaha."
The girls remain frozen for a while. Judy chortled and went downstairs, with the bucket of clothes.
"So, there was no meaning hiding it, after all, right?" Hilary remarked.
A/N: Well... that's with the shot. I know it's cringe af, but... yeah, it's because my writing is just cringe :\
