Max POV
It was good to be back in Seattle. Even better to have Chloe with me.
Since arriving here just the day before last, we had settled into a bit of a routine. Chloe had already heard from Joyce and David, the former making it out of the diner before the explosion due to Warren pretty much shoving her out. David was out searching for her and Chloe, and had found Joyce, and the two had spent the rest of the storm in The Dark Room, along with anyone else who would listen to him on where to go.
So, honestly, more people made it out than I originally thought. We still lost a lot of people, though.
No. I promised Chloe I wouldn't keep doing that; drowning in depressing thoughts.
Joyce and David were due at my parent's house in little over a week. So, if I wanted Chloe to truly know how I felt about her, then I needed to do it before we had her parents on the other side of one of my thin bedroom walls.
"Chloe?" I turned to see her staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah?"
"Uh, I love you."
What was the reaction I expected? I was expecting maybe shock or an 'I love you, too' or something other what I got.
"I know."
"Wait, what?"
She turned to me. "Max, you don't just sacrifice an entire town to keep a friend alive. Not even a best friend. It takes genuine love to make a decision like that. Besides, being your number one priority isn't sisterly love."
Well, she had a point. "And Max?" I turned to look at her, propping myself up on my elbow. She did the same, smiling at me. "I love you, too."
I blushed, causing her smile to increase in size. She began to lean toward me, so I reciprocated. The kiss was tender, sweet, but then it deepened, becoming passionate. She tasted of cigarette and weed smoke, pizza, and Dr. Pepper, but that's my Chloe.
Chloe deepened the kiss further, but her hands never wandered from my waist. For that, I was grateful.
The kiss ended, far too soon for my liking.
When we pulled away, we didn't say anything, just stared into each other's eyes. Then, we both started giggling at the same time.
"Way better than the first time." She chuckled.
"Agreed." I snickered.
And with that, we continued to appreciate the feeling of each other's lips.
A/N: "Hey, Felix, why is this chapter so fucking short?"
Well, because I've been working on it for a fucking week and have no idea what else to type!
Also, if there are any moments you would like me to write about, please let me know! I already have some in mind, but I'll take ideas. I gotta know what you guys want, or I'll just be wasting my time. Have a great day, everyone!
