Chapter 5:

||Max's POV||: I hold her hand as we go downstairs and I ask her, "Okay then, what do you want to bake?" Melissa brushes her chin with her hand and answers, "How about cookies?"

I nod my head and get the dough. Melissa brings out the trays and spreads foil on top of it. We roll the cookie dough and place it on the foil in equal alignment. I then find a bag of flour and then sneakily sprinkle some onto her hair.

She makes a face and then gets water and splashes it on me. We put the tray inside the oven and let it bake as we have our little food fight.

Melissa then grabs a portion of cookie dough and smears it across my lips, exclaiming, "Aha!" I then grab a towel, twirl it tight, and then flick it, hitting her hard on her hip.

She squeals and turns around, throwing flour in my face. I sprinkle water on her face and now her hair is wet. She tries to run away but I wrap her with the towel and bring her close to me. I then gave her a kiss on the lips, letting her taste the cookie dough.

She giggles and wraps her arms around my neck. She then gives me a passionate kiss, enjoying the moment. She lets go, leaving our noses touch, and our smiles visible. We stand in front of each other, hip to hip, my hands around her waist, forehead to forehead, and nose to nose.

We then part away from each other, with her saying, "We both better clean up!" I shrug and was about to take out my wand. Wait, I yell to myself, She thinks you're a mortal! I slide it back in and just grab a wet cloth, wiping her face clean. She did the same with me and we just went to get new clothes.

I look in my closet and hand her a plain t-shirt, while she wears her tank top underneath. Her pants look fine so nothing needed to change. Unlike me, I needed to change completely.

I change in my closet and come out. All of a sudden, the door opens and Alex says, "There's cookies in the oven and they're ready! Harper is cooling them off right now for you guys! Can we have some?"

Melissa turns around and says, "It's up to Max on this one! I don't mind."

I answer Alex, "Well, sure BUT only one!" Alex nods her head and walks downstairs, grabbing one.

Melissa and I went downstairs and shared the cookies together. All of a sudden, a flash is heard from Harper's camera. She said, "Aww! Here, I added another one! I'm gonna go print it out."

She then heads upstairs, chewing on her cookie. There, in front of Melissa, is Alex eating her cookie. I ask, "How is it?"

She chews and makes an OK expression on her face. "It's pretty good!" she states.

Melissa giggles and sat right next to me. Under the table, I hold onto her hand. Honestly, I don't want to let her go even if I have to later on!

Alex the slips out her wand from her right boot and said, "This cookie needs some chocolate in it!" She waves her wand and the cookie appears with chocolate chips.

Alex tastes a bite and closes her eyes, enjoying the indulgence. She then leaves.

||Melissa's POV||: I then look to Max and say, "Max, I need to ask Alex something. May I be excused?" I then show him my innocent hazel eyes and he answers, "Fine, go!"

I smile and let go of his hand. My palms are already starting to clamor from holding his too much! I run after Alex outside to the Substation.

"Alex," I call out, "I need to ask you something!" I tug on her arm and she scowls, "Hey! This shirt's new!" "Sorry," I say, "Do you know where your lair is? We need to talk some place private."

Alex then holds onto my arm and we enter the freezer. It was actually the lair! I close the door and I explain, "Alex, there were things going on lately with me and Max. Holly told me that he was still a wizard. And you know how wizards and mortals can't be together! Now I wonder, is he really?"

She tangles her fingers through her hair and blows air from her mouth. She sighs and says, "Would you be mad if I said yes?"

Tears immediately pried through my eyes and I can suddenly feel my cheeks burn red. My heart quickly dropped as I suddenly look down. "Ok." I mumble. As I would turn around, Alex stops me and asks, "Wait, didn't he tell you?"

I shake my head and I said, "He told me he was a mortal!"

Guess our relationship has started through a lie! Tears are already reaching the end of my collar of my sweatshirt. I run away and out to home. From a distance, I hear Alex yell, "Wait, Melissa!" However, I ignored it.

Max Russo, you turned my life upside down, but I don't think you will ever rotate it back to normal.
