~ Phone Vibration

Steve

"Hello, Max"

What? I'm busy.

"Ah, yeah I'm sorry."

Spill it.

"I was thinking if I can ask you to a dinner on Saturday?" I raised my left eyebrow.

I have a lot of work to do.

"If you are just free."

Business?

"Ah, yes, yes"

I have a meeting. I'll be late.

"No problem I can wait"

Okay. I'll just text you.

"Yes thank you"

NP.

"Okay. Good night." I ended the call because I have this feeling he have another purpose having dinner with me. I called Sofia

"Whoo! Maxine! The Crown is yours only!! No one can beat you!! She laughed like there's no tomorrow.

Tss. That's not the reason why I called Sofia.

"So, what? Still, you turned everyone on!! I'm so hap-" I heaved a sigh.

We have another mission.

"So?" I rolled my eyes.

Call an urgent meeting.

"Noted. Maxine Macy wore a short dress! First time in history HAHAHAAHAHAH!"

Shut up! The meeting will start at 2 am.

"WHAAT?!!? it's already 12 in the midnight Maxine!"

Don't try me again sofia. I ended the call and start planning on my own.

Sofia's POV

Today is Saturday and we're now heading to do our mission at the bar. When we got inside all I can see is people swaying, drinking, kissing all are busy with their own businesses getting wild.

James, search all possible location of the target. Max commanded.

Tin, 2nd floor. I told her.

I cannot access Clark. Tine said.

Nageerror yung mga connection devices niyo. Nick said over the earphones.

Fix it asshole.

Tin go to Clark his earphones are turned off! So that's the reason why we cannot reach him.

You can just turn it on Nick! It's a hassle to go to Clark! I told him.

Target. Basement. Max said. When we got there she's still standing behind the door waiting for us. We're shocked to see who's inside. Sitting pretty with crossed legs while pouring wine in his wine glass. This place is surrounded with scented candle, pink and white roses all over the floor, pink balloons hanging on the ceiling and a man playing piano. (Song: The Gift). He looked at us smirking

Vince??! We said in unison except Max whose still standing aiming her gun to Vince. She looks so dumbfounded to see Vince. Anong ganap?

What' happening? Something's not right. Hmmm. Kristine whispered. Clark just shrugged his shoulder. I can hear Nick's laughter, so this is his plan and he knows something.

Max and Vince are dating?? I loudly ask not realizing Max could hear me. She aimed her gun properly to Vince.

Hey!!!! Max shot the gun two times behind Vince's feet. She looks so serious and angry.

Max! I shouted. She immediately turned her back and leave.

Hey! Max I'm sorry-- The door closes.

Let's go. Clark said before leaving we followed him.

Are they in a relationship? But it looks like they've just known each other a while ago. I didn't answer because even me I know nothing about them.Nick laughed over the earphones.

Boss, do you know something?. James asked.

Nothing HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. What' funny? He's crazy. Psh. I'm curious damn!

Vince's POV

I'm thinking how to talk to Max and also to avoid her meeting that asshole in the bar.

She's still doing mission right?. So?

Yeah. So?

What if you talk to their boss?

And? He explained what his plan is. After so many hours of explaing and arguing we've come up with faking a mission and prepare dinner for the two of us. His boss agreed to our plans, he also suggested that it will be best if the place will be where we first met.

Nick

"They're on their way"

We're not yet done. Do something. Damn!! I'm nervous.

"Asshole! Idiot! Why are you so slow! You've been there since last night."

We're just fixing the balloons.

Damn you asshole! You spilled the wine! Fuck you! Anthon yelled at me.

Max is already outside.

Whe-where? Damn! My feet and hands are shaking.

Move faster asshole! Your so slow and clumsy! I'm leaving. He patted my shoulder before running to the other door going to parking lot. L

Fuck you Nick! Wait!. I took the table napkin and put it under the carpet, I put my table napkin and put it behind her plate. I sat crossed legs and put a glass of wine in my wine glass. The door opened and they got inside, I didn't look at them to compose my shaking body. I can see in my peripheral view that she's aiming her gun to me for Pete's sake! I look at them smirking to hide my nervousness. She shot her gone beside my feet two times damn! And she immediately leave.

Hey! Max look I'm sorry I just want to apologize from what I did last time. She's still walking fast and not giving me even a glimpse. I hold her hand and force her to face me.

What the f*ck do you want?!! Her eyes are slightly wet. I can see pain and sadness in her eyes.

I'm sorry.

For what?!

You saved my life-

You're sorry because I saved you?

No. I'm sorry because you saved my life and I risked yours. I'm sorry for pushing you-. I look at her she's looking at me arrogantly.

Okay. Walking again.

Max please! She looked at me angrily.

What do you want?!

Talk to me. She rolled her eyes then walk again. Damn! I grabbed her hand making her face me.

Now wha-. Our lips met and so our tongue. I kissed her gently, I missed her so much. I opened the door behind her, pushed her inside. She's responding to my kisses passionately, holding my nape tightly. Hugging her waist made me feel her trembling body, her body's telling me how much she misses me. After the kiss I look at her face intently inches away from mine.

I love you. I muttered unexpectedly.
