A few weeks passed and Max made a full recovery. Today was his first day back at work. He hadn't seen Zoe since she walked out and now he was going to have to face her. If only Robyn could say sorry he might still be in with a chance.
Back at the boat Dylan was becoming increasingly concerned for Zoe's wellbeing. He was sure that crying yourself to sleep every night is not healthy and yet Zoe couldn't stop herself. She loved Max but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't live with him.
When Zoe arrived at work she was horrified to see max walking towards her.
"Zoe."
"Max. How are you feeling."
"Better. How about you."
"You know, getting there."
"Zoe I'm sorry about what Robyn did, and she sorry too."
"I'm sure you both are but I've got enough to do at the moment and in all honesty I don't think I'm ready."
She carried on walking and Max just stared after her. Maybe it is too late he thought, I've lost her forever. She got into the hospital and went Straight to her office, she sat down and tears began to pour.
Dylan was outside the office and heard the all to familiar sound of Zoe crying so he opened the door. She stood up and hugged him.
"I don't know what to do."
"It's going to be okay, do what your heart tells you to."
"I love Max I really love him."
"Well tell him."
"That's the problem I can't. I love him so much it's time I let him go."
"Zoe listen, if you love him tell him it's obvious he loves you too. I worried about you this is not right, you can't cry yourself to sleep night after night. Something has to be done." He let go of Zoe walked out closing the door behind him. He had a plan, a plan to get Zoe and Max to talk just the two of them. It needed sorting and if no one else was going to do so he was.
Dylan found Max outside smoking.
"Ma..."
"Max"
"Ah yes Max. Can I have a word."
"Well it's gonna have to be a quick one."
"That's fine now listen. I worried about Zoe she's not herself, the Zoe I know does not let her emotions take over her life."
"What's that meant to mean."
"Well Max I'm sure your not stupid. Zoe spends night after night crying, it's becoming an increasing concern, I thought that maybe if you could come over tonight and just talk to her things might start looking up."
"I do anything to make her happy again so I'll come."
"Okay be there about 8."
The day past and tension between Zoe and Robyn ran high. At the end of his shift Max went straight home and got changed. It was nearly 8 so he took the short walk to the boat and knocked on the door. Dylan answered.
"Ah Max come in, she's in living room, and remember she knows nothing."
He walked in and caught sight of Zoe curled up staring at a blank screen. He walked over and sat beside her.
"Zoe." She didn't respond.
"Zoe, are you okay. I'm really sorry."
"Max." She through her arms round him and cried into his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Zoe, no of this was meant to happen."
"I know, but it has and there's nothing we can do to change it."
"But there is things we can do to fix it."
"Like what."
"Well, I could talk to Robyn, she really is sorry for what she did but she's never been very good at saying sorry."
"I understand. Well I'm not saying no to sorting things out with her. She is a brilliant nurse and she's so kind she was just looking out for you. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and everything got blown out of proportion."
"Good I'm glad, now I was thinking maybe we could order pizza and watch a film."
"Sounds good to me."
"Zoe. Look at me."
"Yes."
"I love you, you know."
"I know and I love you too."
" I'm glad that's all cleared up."
" I'll go ask Dylan to order some pizza."
"Okay, where are the DVDs kept."
"In the cupboard next the TV."
Zoe went to ask Dylan about the pizza and Max looked through the DVDs. He found 'mama Mia'. Zoe walked back in.
"So what we watching."
"Well I thought maybe mama Mia."
"Sounds good. Hope you don't mind me singing."
"Why would I, I love you remember."
"Oh shut up you and get your ass over here."
He put the film on and sat next to Zoe.
"Zoe."
"Yes." Lifting her head to look at him. He kissed her and she kissed him back.
"I've missed this."
"I've missed us."
"I've missed you."
"And I've missed you."
The pizza came and the film played.
Once it had finished and the pizza was all gone. Max and Zoe made their way into her room.
"Zoe, do you want to do it tonight, cuz we don't have too."
"Do I ever." She stepped closer to Max a pulled his top over his head.
"I take that as a yes you do then."
Soon their clothes had decorated the floor and their passionate encounter was in full swing.
Will Robyn and Zoe put everything behind them and start a fresh. How will the future plan out for Max and Zoe?
Please review. There'll be more soonxx
