Chapter 3: A Very ROMANTIC Birthday and Second Date
Life has been great for both Fran and Max, ever since they started dating. They finally told the people they loved, and they could've not been happier, knowing how much how happy their loved ones were. Even C.C. backed off with her obsessive crush on Maxwell and became good friends with Fran. Yes, life has been amazing for the two lovebirds.
It's been about five weeks since Fran and Max gone out on their first date. Max was in his office working but kept thinking about Fran.
"Maxwell, you okay?" C.C. asked, interrupting Max's thoughts.
"Oh yes C.C., I'm fine. Just thinking about Fran" he replied.
"Well I'm glad she makes you happy," she said smiling.
"Well I'm glad that you accept my relationship with her," Maxwell said.
"I know. You know Max, I'm sorry about that outburst I did a couple weeks ago," C.C. said.
"Well thank you C.C." he said.
"So have you both been on a date, like a first date?" C.C. asked curiously.
"Yeah, we did. When I told her I loved her, we went on our first date that evening. Oh C.C, she looked so gorgeous in a blue strapless dress, and it was just incredible," Max said remembering the date.
"Aww well that sounds sweet. Have you gone on another date?" she asked.
"No, not really," Max said sadly.
"Well what about a very romantic picnic date in the park," C.C. suggested.
"Ooh thanks C.C. I will definitely plan that. And anyways, it's Fran's birthday so it's perfect," he said smiling.
"You're welcome," she replied.
And with that, both Max and C.C. went back to work.
An hour later, Fran and Niles entered the office with lunch for the adults. C.C. and Niles sat at the other side of the desk while Fran sat next to Max.
"Hi Fran," Max said giving her a kiss.
She kissed back, giving him a light kiss on the lips.
After their little kiss, Fran sat down and starting eating with her boyfriend and her two good friends. They reminisced a lot of memories. From when Fran started to work for Max to now, when they were dating.
After lunch, both C.C. and Niles volunteered to clean up the dishes to give Fran and Max some alone time. Max wanted to take a little break from work so he and Fran went upstairs hand-in-hand to her room.
"Well darling, I'm glad we have some alone time," Max said smiling.
"I'm glad too. I love you, Max" Fran said sweetly.
"I love you too," he replied giving her a kiss.
She kissed back, more passionately and in a couple of minutes, the two lovebirds started making out. Fran pushed Max to her bed, and climbed into her bed with him, giving him a deep kiss. Max let out a moan.
"Oh Fran," Max said.
Fran knew he was enjoying it. She stopped kissing him on the lips and started working on his neck. Max just couldn't handle. She kissed him on the lips again as Max switched positions with her so she could be on the bottom. He went to her neck and starting kissing it. Fran moaned, letting him know that she was enjoying this, especially feeling his lips on her neck. He stopped kissing her neck, giving her a light kiss on the lips.
"Fran, I love you so much," Max said, panting, his breathing going back to normal and lying down beside him.
"I love you too, baby" Fran said looking at his beautiful green eyes.
"Well pretty soon is your birthday, darling. So I'm going to take you on a romantic date," he said.
"Aww well that's sweet," Fran said smiling.
After a small conversation, Fran and Max fell asleep in each other arms in her bed.
A couple weeks later…
The day of Fran's birthday finally arrived. Fran woke up, smiling knowing that it's her first time spending her birthday with Max as her boyfriend. She went downstairs to have breakfast with her family.
"Good morning everyone," Fran said happily.
"Good morning, darling" Max said. "Happy birthday," he continued and gave her kiss.
"Happy birthday Fran," the children, C.C and Niles said.
"Thank you everyone," she replied happily.
She sat down and they had a wonderful breakfast, talking story and just enjoying being a family. Fran just smiled, knowing how wonderful her life was…amazing kids and a wonderful boyfriend.
The children gave all four of the adults each a kiss and hurried out the door to the limo to go to school. By the time Fran, Max, C.C, and Niles was done eating, both Fran and Niles cleaned up the table and talked about Max's plan for Fran that evening. As soon as they were finished with the kitchen, Fran headed to the bedroom and changed her clothes to have a birthday lunch with her mom, dad and her sister Nadine, since she had plans that evening with Max. After she changed her clothes, Fran headed to Max's office to say that she was heading out the door to meet her family for lunch. Max gave her a small kiss on the lips and told her to have a nice time. She said goodbye to C.C and Niles and went straight out the door to have lunch with her family.
Fran headed to Fung Lum's to meet up with her family. She each gave her mom, dad and sister a kiss on the cheek and they all ordered lunch. As they waited, she talked to them about Max's plans for her that evening and her mom and sister was just excited for her. Lunch finally arrived, and they just talked. As soon as they were finished with their lunch, Nadine and Sylvia took Fran shopping to look for a mini dress that she can wear that evening. Fran found the most beautiful white spaghetti strap dress topping it off with a tanish color of sandals.
"Frannie, let me pay for that," Nadine told her sister.
"Oh Nay, I couldn't," Fran said.
"Fran, it's your birthday! I want my little sister to have it," Nadine said.
"Okay, thanks Nay," Fran said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
After the dress and shoes were paid, Fran, Sylvia and Nadine walked out of the mall. Fran gave her mom and sister a kiss and went to the limo and she went home. As she got home, she went straight to the bedroom to hang up the dress on the hanger so it wouldn't get wrinkled.
Hours later, it was time for Fran to get ready for her birthday date with Max. She took a shower, and got ready, putting some perfume and makeup on. She was excited but at the same time, she was nervous to see what Max had planned. After she was done getting dressed, Fran walked down the stairs, seeing Max smiling.
"Wow, darling, you look beautiful." Max said giving her a kiss.
"Thank you. And you always look so handsome as always," Fran said smiling back.
They said goodbye to the children and Niles and headed for Central Park. Fran and Max walked hand in hand until they saw a romantic scene in front of them, under a tree. A blanket with a picnic basket, rose pedals scattered all over, and candles lighted up, topping with romantic music playing from a small radio. Fran looked at Max with tears in her eyes.
"Max, baby this is so romantic," Fran said, still with tears in her eyes.
"Well I want you to have an amazing birthday," Max said wiping the tears from her eyes.
They gave each other a small kiss on the lips and walked to the picnic basket. Fran sat down followed by Max and they started to open the basket. One by one, they grabbed the food and started feeding each other. Twenty minutes passed and the food was all gone. Fran and Max was really enjoying the music so Max stood up.
"Would you care to dance, darling," Max said with his hand out.
"Yes I would love to," she said.
They began to dance and sway with the romantic music that was playing from the stereo. Max stopped dancing, walked to the blanket, sat down followed by Fran and looked at her.
"Fran, I love you so much. Happy birthday," Max said with a little box in his hand.
Fran took the box from his hand and opened it. Inside was a heart locket. She took it out and opened the locket with a message saying:
Fran, I love you, my darling. Love, Max.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Max, I love it. Thank you. I love you," Fran said giving him a passionate kiss.
"You're welcome baby!" he said in between kisses.
Fran pulled him down with her and they started making out. Max kissed her for all it was worth and started trailing kisses down her neck. She let out a soft moan, knowing that she was enjoying this. Heck she was always enjoying it. While Max was kissing her neck, he slowly slipped her strap on her dress on her shoulder to give him more access. They continued making out for another hour and after all the making out, Fran and Max finally stopped.
"Wow, that was amazing," Max said.
"Yeah, it was," Fran said giggling.
"Wish we went all the way though," he said hoping that she wasn't mad at what he said.
"I know. But Max, we should wait. We just started dating weeks ago and I'm not ready for it. Besides, I love the make out session I have with you," Fran said laughing.
"Yeah," Max said laughing as well.
He lay down besides Fran and they looked at the stars together. An hour later, both Max and Fran was tired so they packed up everything, got into the limo and went home. As soon as they got to the house, Niles was up waiting for the picnic basket. With that, he said goodnight.
Well goodnight sir, goodnight Miss Fine," Niles said.
"Goodnight Niles," both Max and Fran answered.
"Happy Birthday Fran," Niles said smiling to his friend.
"Thank you Niles," she said smiling back.
Max and Fran walked to her room, hand-in-hand. As soon as they got to her room, Fran turned around and faced her boyfriend.
"Baby, I had such an incredible night tonight. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and an incredible birthday" Fran said.
"You're welcome, baby," Max said.
They gave each other a kiss goodnight and Fran walked in her room. She changed her clothes, put the beautiful necklace that Max got for her and got ready for bed. As soon as she lay down on her bed, Fran just thought about what a wonderful birthday she had. With that, she fell asleep having dreams about Max.
