Chapter 17
Later that evening Maxie was in her room getting ready to go to Kelly's to talk to Chasity when she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in,"
"Hey Maxie can I ask you a question?" Georgie asked once she walked into the room.
"Sure,"
"Who is that guy you've been hanging out with at Kelly's?"
Maxie searched her brain for any story that wouldn't get Cooper in trouble.
"His names Cooper, he goes to PCU and works at Metro Court,"
Georgie nodded.
"Are you guys dating?"
"Yeah kind of. Why do you want to know?" Maxie asked curiously.
"I don't know, I've just seen you guys together when I work and you guys look like you're close,"
Maxie sighed wondering if she would have to get defensive.
"Are you going to object to this relationship since it seems like you and everyone else object to what I do or who I'm with?"
"No Maxie, I actually think it's a good thing because over the past few weeks it seems like you've been trying to do better, and if Cooper is helping you do that I don't have a problem with it. Mac on the other hand knowing the way he is with us and guys is another story,"
Maxie smiled.
"Don't worry I can handle Mac,"
Georgie just smiled and left the room.
After Maxie was sure Georgie was back in her room, she left the house for Kelly's.
Maxie walked into Kelly's and Spotted Chasity at one of the back tables. She walked over and sat in the chair from her. After a few seconds, Chasity looked up from reading the text message on her phone she had been pretending to be so interested in.
"What do you want?"
"Nice talking to you too," Maxie, replied sarcastically.
"What do you want?" Chasity repeated.
"Do you know if Cooper is going to let you move into one of the rooms above Kelly's?"
"You should know considering how close you and Coop are," Chasity said looking down at her phone again.
Maxie sighed Chasity just kept reminding her more and more of the way she was in high school.
"Look will you just answer the question?"
"Fine he said I could move into a room above Kelly's, happy now?"
"Well I might be able to help you decorate the room if you want me to," Maxie offered.
"No thanks, you're just doing this because---" Chasity was cut off by Maxie.
"This isn't just because of Cooper, we don't even have to talk about him if you don't want to," Maxie lied.
"Fine but I swear if you bring Cooper up all bets are off,"
"Hey I said we didn't have to talk about him if you didn't want to,"
Chasity rolled her eyes and thought what have I gotten myself into?
After that, Maxie walked out of Kelly's and smiled to herself and then thought Phase one of getting Chasity to forgive Cooper complete.
