Chapter 9

Max grinned to herself as she stood in her room; it was time, she was getting ready for going out with Warren to the drive-in that evening. She wanted to look nice, but remain comfortable; she knew Warren well enough now to know how much he cared, that she didn't have to fear how she looked, Warren always seemed to like her, no matter her appearance. Still smiling she made up her mind and began looking out her clothes.

As she did, her thoughts went to her plans. 'I felt guilty going on this date with Warren, with everything going on, but they all insisted I go, said we'd planned it ages ago, we shouldn't cancel at the last minute. I just hope, c'mon Max focus, remember what you have planned tonight.

Feeling making up her mind and still blushing at Chloe's attempts to convince her to go, how her friend somehow knew what she and Warren had planned, she finished getting dressed. She was now wearing a white doe T-shirt with her grey zip-up hoodie over it, a pair of blue jeans and simple black shoes. Satisfied she grabbed the last few things she'd need and left the room, heading for the parking lot to where Warren's car was parked.

Within the boy's dorms, Warren smiled lightly, also getting himself ready. As usual, whenever he thought about Max, about their relationship he was always amazed and still had the same lingering doubts. He always worried he wasn't good enough for her, always felt Max deserved better.

Nevertheless he wanted this to go right. 'It's going to be okay, Max asked me for this...it, I just hope...Relax Warren, you're not gonna screw this up.'

He told himself to stick to the plan as he finally got dressed, a black and blue striped long sleeve shirt, the sleeves rolled up, blue jeans and black shoes.

Satisfied he nodded. 'Good, alright, that looks good...Let's, let's go, let's do this.'

He felt hopeful as he left and headed for the parking lot. He soon spotted Max when he arrived, she stood, waiting by the car, it was clear she had not been there long. Seeing each other they both smiled, greeted each other warmly and got into the car. Driving out of Blackwell and towards the drive-in in Newberg.

Driving in silence, they felt themselves relax, comfortable with each other and were contented. As they drove their thoughts were indeed on each other; but for once, they were clearer than ever before and both were thinking not only about the date, but also their plans afterwards.

Finally, after some time, after having got everything they needed, they were parked in the lot of the drive-in. Max was surprised to see quite a few other people around in their cars. Nevertheless she smiled and settled in, Warren grinned, also pleased. They were soon relaxed and watching the movie as it began. They were soon enjoying themselves; Max had actually thought it would be sweet to buy an extra large popcorn between them, rather than two separate.

Warren had laughed upon seeing that and they were still at ease.

'I can't believe we're really here, oh, I hope this all goes well...After everything that's happened, I just...I want this to go right.' Max thought to herself.

The movie continued and they enjoyed themselves, everything was going well; it was clear a good night was being had by all. The other people in their cars were either couples or families, all of them engrossed in the movie.

While they were watching, as time marched on, Warren smiled, quietly exhaling.

'Alright, this is going great, but...I am still a bit worried.'

He turned to her. "Max..."

"Hmm, yeah?"

He bit his lip, then the words came. "I just...I love you, nothing will every change that. But, about tonight, are you sure you…?"

He found himself stumbling over his words and was afraid he hadn't come across clearly enough. Max however was smiling and leaned in closer.

"Warren..." She whispered; smiling.

He tensed, seeing her smile and was hopeful.

"I have never been more ready. I know we are, don't worry." She told him. "I'm nervous too; but I know we can do it."

Warren grinned and nodded and, both deciding to take advantage of their current position, closed the gap between them and began to kiss. Alright their excitement for their plans after the movie grew even more intense and as they settled back, watching the rest, neither of them could keep the grins from their faces for very long.

Back at Blackwell they carefully began sneaking down the corridor of the boy's dorms, heading for Warren's room.

Max couldn't help but grin as they did so. 'This is it, we're, we're finally going to...'

Taking her hand Warren also grinned.

"Let's go." He whispered.

She nodded and together they entered his room, the door was soon closed and they wasted no time, the moment their lips locked they let their passion take over, separating only when needed and before long, they stood by Warren's bed, gazing fondly into each other's eyes.

They had been undressing as they made out, Max now stood clad in a pair of grey butt-hugging panties and a white bra, Warren was in just his blue boxers.

"I'm ready." Max whispered.

It was all Warren needed to hear, he resumed kissing her as he worked on her bra, the two of them falling onto the bed once it was off and Max had both his boxers and her panties off. They paused long enough for Warren to pull the condom on and then let themselves be consumed.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
