Sooo, can we please just ignore the entire third book? I read it the day it came out and thats why I haven't updated...its cause I didn't know if ppl would still want this story after certain...events from the book. I won't mention any of it cause some ppl might not have read the book. But any way, then plainlyironic wroteand asked for me to update so...I was like, why not? so here goes!
Ari walked to the kitchen and felt Max follow him. He went to the freezer and pulled out the Eggo waffles. He figured then could probably scarf down a box each and it would take a while to toast them all so he started right away. As he popped down the first four waffles, he turned to Max who was now sitting at the small kitchen table and watching him.
"Waffles are ok right?" He asked with his eye brows raised.
Max nodded.
She was so cute...
Minutes passed in silence as Ari finished making the waffles and piled them on a plate. He set the plate on the table and sat across from Max. He watched her carefully as he grabbed a waffle and almost swallowed it whole.
Max clearly realized she'd better start eating or Ari would eat every waffle on the plate and they ate in silence.
A whole lotta silence.
She'd spoken only like, ten words to him today.
He had to give her time. As hard as it was. So damn hard...
Max apparently got her fill of waffles and then said "Water?" She asked.
Oh, two whole syllables, how lucky was he? Psh.
Ari, taking his cues from Max, didn't speak. He pointed to the cabinet with the cups.
Max gave him a weird look and grabbed a cup as he finished the waffles and put the plate in the sink. Just as did so, Max came over to the tap to fill her cup and they were suddenly very close. Ari heard her sharp intake of breath and then watched her as she tried to ignore their close proximity. He took a step back to give her some space and she filled her cup and walked away.
Did everything have to be so hot and cold with this girl? One moment she was clinging to him, granted, she was half asleep at the time but whatever, and then next she wouldn't even speak to him?
Max walked to the living room and turned on the TV.
Ari put all his willpower to use and didn't follow her. He went back to his room and pulled on a tshirt and jeans. He combed through his hair with his hands and then brushed his teeth. Then, not able to take it any longer, he went to find Max.
She was watching some show in Japanese...how odd. But when he looked at her eyes, he realized she wasn't watching to TV at all. Her eyes were glazed over, her face vacant. She looked to be thinking about something very sad.
Ari approached wearily.
Max POV ( a few minutes before...)
Max started flipping through the channels. She flipped passed one with a boy and girl kissing. That reminded her of Fang. She'd kissed him once...not that he liked it. He didn't love her or even like her that way in the least...
Her hand stopped moving on some show but she couldn't even see it, her eyes were blurry with tears.
How could Fang have done this to her? He was her best friend! She had just wanted to have somebody to share love with!
It's not his fault Maximum, he just doesn't feel that way about you.
GO AWAY!
Max, if you want some one to share your love with, why not Ari?
Because that's disgusting.
Why? He loves you...
Ew, no he doesn't. I could never love Ari because...because...he's insane.
Oh yes, insane people often take in a hurting girl and care for her and watch 'Lost' with her and feed her Eggos. Waffles and watching 'Lost', both clear signs of the crazies...
Shut up. I can't love ARI!
But you find him attractive...
No I don't.
Yes you do Max. I can hear your thoughts remember? I hear the way you think of him.
I won't love Ari!
Ah, now I see. You CAN love Ari, you just WON'T.
Ah, her voice had really mastered sarcasm.
Just give him a chance Max.
Max ignored the stupid voice and half expected it to start singing 'Ari and Ma-ax sitting in a tree' in her head. It was silent. Thank Garsh.
She suddenly sensed movement and looked up to see Ari walking toward her with caution. He had probably seen her almost cry. Damn it.
She then looked at the TV again. What the frick was that, Japanese? Geez, she had really been out of it.
Turning off the telivision, Max turned back to the boy walking towards her.
He looked to adorable...GR!
Ari POV
Ari sat beside Max "You ok?" He asked with concern.
Max pressed her lips together tightly then said "Yeah."
Ari knew she was lying. But oh well. She seemed ok if not a little...freaked out about something.
"Soo...wanna play cards or something?" He asked casually.
Max actually seemed to brighten at the idea "Ok." She smiled.
Whoa, apparently he would have to remember this one.
"Kay, I'll go get the deck, one second." Ari ran into his room to find cards.
Review please? I know its moving slow...question, I have two versions of this story. in one, things move pretty fast and easy into a relationship and in another theres lots and lots of roller coasteriness...I was thinking of going with # one, what do u think?
