It didn't take a fool to realize my father didn't end up going to jail. He had bribed the police officers with a fuck ton of money and they dropped the charges instantly. He didn't get a record under his name either. It pissed me off how he could get away with so much to no bounds.

When Max was released from the hospital thanksgiving break had practically been over. I felt terrible for it but Max was there to consistently comfort me and remind me that it's not my fault. Of course a small part of me didn't believe him.

When back at school I had come up with an idea. I had bought a new phone thankfully and restored everything and the first thing I did was remind Max to text me so I could save his number. I texted Max to get ready and that I was going to take him some where to which he was extremely confused. I should've never sent him that because he bombarded me with calls and texts asking me where I was taking him. Was it going to be romantic so he knows to dress all fancy. And then he asked me if we were gonna make out?? What the fuck? I just replied with "please shut up and get ready, you're waisting time. Just dress nicely and warm. It getting colder out"  I sent back.

Later on I picked him up from his dorm. I took him down town to explore random restaurants and just walk around. "I heard they already set up a Christmas tree." I smiled softly "wanna go see it?" I asked him as he chuckled " sure, let's stop to get some hot cocoa though first" he said as I agreed and we stopped by a cup cake shop. The place was lovely. Decorated in Christmas themed items getting ready for the holidays. The inside was warm considering outside was freezing cold outside. I had walked inside to be greeted by the smell of baked goods and a nice chocolate scent. The place had a Christmas tree decorated in bright lights and ornaments. This made me chuckle really. Business would run to the opportunity to decorate for Christmas right after thanksgiving.  It was hilarious.

Bessie that, I got my arm yanked by Max as he ran towards this one area and stopped. He turned and smiled at me. I was confused until he looked up and I looked up as well. I saw a mistletoe! I perked up and blushed as I looked back down at Max who was now wiggling his brows and I rolled my eyes chuckling "you're such a dork" I commented "okay? But I'm your dork. So picked up pretty boy" Max said making me laugh until he shut me up with a kiss. I cupped his cheeks gently as he wrapped his arms around my waist. The kiss lingered for a good three seconds before letting go. I looked at him to see he was all smiley as I blushed profusely. I couldn't help it Max was just so adorable. "Okay now I'm ready for hot chocolate. Let's go" he said as I smiled and walked with him to the counter "you know. I've never been to this place before" Max whispered as I shrugged "Makes sense. This is for the highly sophisticated. The chocolate is actually directly imported as the cacao beans and the works make the chocolate here from scratch. It's a very known place for the higher class" as Max cocked a brow " seriously? You didn't have to call me poor like that" he said as I snickered "I'm kidding. It's just like any regular old coffee shop hun except I think this place serves better treats than the Bean scene" I mentioned as Max gasped "how dare you! I think the bean scene is great" as I shrugged "and I think it could be better" I smirked as Max had a stink face which I found cute and kissed his nose. He let go of that face as he laughed just like a goofs laugh.

We ordered our drinks and cupcakes as well as I paid for both of them and left a tip. Then we were on our way out. As he walked around sipping our cocoa and chatting we sat by a peer which had a view of a frozen lake in front of us. I sat down and felt Max shift his body and lean against me. I titled my head to rest it on top of Max's. He's so cute and I've noticed nowadays he's become much more touchy. Not even in the sexual way but in general he's always touching me in some sort of way. For example when we're simply just hanging out, he wraps an arm around me. When we're bored he'll play with my hair. That was a very uncomfortable conversation though the first time he did because he found the burn marks my father created on the back of my neck that I was trying to hide with my grown out hair. But I digress, he just always likes to hold me. Especially when it comes to falling asleep. I'm always little spoon for the specific reason being that he thinks of me like his old teddy bear.

Speaking of which, Max looks up and gasped pointing to a random shop. I cocked a brow confused as I looked over. "Build a bear?" I asked confused by what that meant. I turned to him and he looked absolutely shocked "you've never been to build a bear work shop?" He asked as I shook my head "no?" I said confused. "Oh hell no! We're taking you right now!" Max said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me up as he stood as well. "Woah! Someone's excited!" I laughed as Max chuckled "hell yeah I am!" He exclaimed as he ran. I perked up and mentioned "Max! The roads are-" as he tripped and fell. I tried to catching him but we both fell like a couple of dumb asses "icy...." I sighed and sat up "you okay?" As he sat up too and rubbed the back of his head chuckling "yeah yeah I'm fine. I'll be more careful next time" he blushed embarrassed as I chuckled "idiot"

When getting into build a bear workshop I looked around confused. I had no clue what this place was. So I turned to Max with a confused look and he explained everything to me. Long story short you basically just build a teddy bear. I thought the concept was cute until Max mentioned "let's build teddy bears of each other." He said as I perked up and chuckled "sure". Max was really excited for this.

I was assigned to build a teddy bear that looked like Max. I tried to figure out what to pick. I picked one with darker fur to match his dark black hair and I got my teddy bear a red t shirt and tiny red sneakers. I thought this was this cutest thing I had ever seen. When I went to Max and saw his, he had given his teddy bear a button up white shirt with a purple cashmere sweater and tiny cream colored sneakers. He picked a light brown teddy and gave the teddy bear blue eyes. When finished I had paid for the teddy bears and we walked out together. Max whined "I was gonna pay. Cmon princess" he said as my eyebrow twitched "first, stop calling me that and second, I took you out on the date therefor I pay. You also seemed so excited to get these disgusting things so I might as well" I said tauntingly as he gasped "disgusting??" He mentioned. He saw the smile on my face and I knew I was joking but he added on "well yeah mine looks awful. It's because it's based off an awful person" he snickered as I perked up "hey! Don't be mean!" I said as he laughed. He took his teddy bear and brought it closer to mine "mwah" as my heart squeezed. I blushed softly and looked away from Max. He made the teddy bears kiss and I couldn't help but think it was the cutest thing "princeeeeeeesss~" he cooed as I refused to look at him and I practically ignored. He moved in front of the direction I was looking and kissed my lips just like the teddy bears had. I could feel steam coming out of my ears practically as I covered my mouth extremely flustered.

Max laughed and hugged me tightly "h-hey you have the teddy bears to do that now!" I said before he kissed my cheek as well. " I much prefer to kiss the real deal" he mentioned as I hid my face in his shoulder as he continued to laugh.

Out of all of my relationships I don't think I'll ever find love like this.

Max is the one

And I whole heartedly believe it.
