Chapter 34

"Why don't we go for run guy?...I want to see the best runner among us,"Michael suggested when they were done with their stretching.

"Run after what or rather run to where?"Ammy asked faking confusion in her beautiful eyes and voice.

"Hey we are not running after anything...it's just a friendly competition so don't act confused by that,"Milady answered pulling her friend's ear.Max was just staring at Ammy.He was now very sure that he loved her with everything he had.When they met the first day,he wasn't sure what he felt and the day during the opening of his casino.He began doupting the love he had for her the first day they kissed and whenever their bodies were close,he couldn't just control himself.

"You know what man...as soon as you two get married,you will stare at her all day long and all night if you want but for now...let's get for the competition,"Michael teased his brother who just smiled inwardly for being caught and Ammy blushed at Michael's words.

"Well am sure my Ammy...I mean Ammy will win this,"Max spoke.Ammy's heart turned a little when Max corrected his statement and the smile she was wearing faded.

"No need of making any corrections...she is yours,"Michael continued.

"I think I will win,"Milady shouted happily to make them change the topic.They all turned and got ready for their run.

"Better prove yourself right sweet pie,"Michael spoke while smirking at his sister.

"Go!"came Max's commanding voice and they all springed on their feet.Ammy was hurt by Max's words but as soon as they began the run, something she loved doing,she felt her heart becoming lighter.Everyone was ahead of her but soon her speed increased and she moved against the wind.Ammy got to the gate first and she got back to their starting point.She was panting hard when she got to the field.The rest got back after she had gained composure.They were all shocked at Ammy's flexibility.

"I must say I loved that....never knew you were so flexible,"Milady spoke as she sat on the bench where Ammy and Max were sitted.Ammy looked up and faced her friend with a smile.

"Actually am no longer that flexible...I have not been exercising for a very very long time now....my pace has reduced quite alot,"Ammy spoke calmly making their jaws drop in shock and surprise except for Max who just looked at her with a raised brow.He wasn't shocked that much because when he asked for her details before marrying her.He knew she was the best athlete in Frea City but he was surprised that she was more flexible than he had witnessed now.

"I don't get it beauty... reduced pace?"Michael asked looking very interested that his eyes were glistening with interest.

"Well I was the best athlete in high school and the best in Frea City when I won the national level some years back when I was in college and I haven't been doing this for five years now....you see it's been long,"she explained while smiling and they gasped at the revelation.

"You should go freshen up now...see you all later,"Max spoke while walking away.Ammy looked at his back as he walked away.He had such a manly figure that she felt attracted by him.

"I smell love in the air,"Michael teased while staring at the sky after leaning on the bench.Ammy turned and looked at him.Her ears were turning pink with embarrassment since she was caught staring at Max.

"I think it's even lit...see the beauty with talent and brains as well is blushing...see that,"Milady teased her friend who turned serious all over a sudden.

"Love?...me?...noo!"Ammy spoke while rolling her eyes.

"I mentioned nobody?"Milady responded while smiling widely.

"Neither did I,"Michael joined his sister in teasing her.Ammy shrugged her shoulders and stood from where she was sitted.

"Since none of you isn't talking to me...then am off to the house,"she said and walked away to the house while the two siblings laughed teasingly at her before joining her to the house.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Am the last to join again!"Milady spoke as she joined the rest for breakfast after they had freshened up.

"Yeah...as late as always,"Camilla responded at her daughter with a smile.

"Hope you all had a beautiful night,"she continued while serving herself.

"A perfect night infact,"Max responded while smiling and they all gazed at him silently.Camilla couldn't help but feel enthralled by her son's change.This was the first time he joined in a conversation while they were eating.He had not done that for very long. She cleared her throat as she came back to earth and also to make the rest break from their daze.

"So what made the night perfect son?"Camilla asked.Max stole a glance at Ammy who was also looking at him.

"I would also love to know what made my brother's night perfect yet it wasn't your wedding night,"Michael spoke slowly.

"Mike...do you mean to say you have never had a wonderful sleep before?... because as far as I can remember, you are not married,"David responded looking at his son quietly.

"But dad he had a perfect night not a wonderful sleep,"Michael retorted silently.Milady and Ammy just exchanged glances and continued with their meal.Max shook his head seeing the scene before him and decided to clear their minds.

"Well yesterday night,I..."he started while looking at Ammy who was sitting besides him.Ammy looked at him while holding her breath.

'No Max... please don't say it as much as we didn't get intimate but what we did wasn't right either,'Ammy spoke to herself while still looking at him.He took Ammy's hand and his and was about to speak again when the butler announced Maya's arrival.

"Bring her in for breakfast,"Camilla answered the man bowing Infront of them.Ammy Decided to take advantage of the situation and stood up.

"Please excuse me...Max can you come with me?"she spoke and Max was caught off guard by her confidence at the moment.Max stood up and they walked out of the dinning room.Milady looked at the two as they Walked towards the door.She smiled inwardly trying not to imagine what the two had done.They met Maya as she was walking in to the dinning room.

"Ammy,"Maya greeted her smiling warmly while taking her in for an embrace.

"Maya...good to see you again,"she spoke while embracing her back.

"Same here,"she responded with a warm smile.

"Max.."Maya greeted her cousin who was standing next to his soon wife to be.To her surprise,Max embraced her warmly.She gulped at his reaction while her looking at Ammy with saucer eyes.Ammy smiled reassuringly at her.Max loosened his grip and looked at her before asking.

"You are here very early Maya....is everything okay?"he asked though his voice was still cold,his eyes spoke a different language.

"I-I am fine Max...just came to join in preparing for my brother's engagement,"she responded while smiling sweetly at him .

"That's great....join the rest for breakfast....am sure you didn't have anything before leaving uncle Mark's house,"he continued.Maya nodded and walked in to the dinning room.All that time,Ammy was staring at her new sweet fiance while smiling that she didn't know that Maya had left and Max was also staring at her.

"Ammy.... aren't we going?"he asked while wondering why she was staring at him.When she didn't respond,he decided to tease her.He moved closer to her and yanked her to himself.Ammy was shocked by what he did.

"Max...Max... someone may see us,"she complained with a low voice since they were still at the dinning room door.

"So what?...we are married already,"he whispered in her ear.

"Just you and I know that....so stop this,"she answered firmly.Max creased his brows and leaned closer to her until she could feel his warm breath on her cheeks making goosebumps appear on her soft skin.Max saw that and he loved how being close to her affected her.

"You are so brave these day...you talk to your husband as you desire but you know that I can do as I please with you because you are still my wife,"he said while moving his face closer to hers.Ammy couldn't move or speak anymore because of how close he was and how his touch and his closeness was affecting her.Max took advantage of the moment and decided to further his teasing.He leaned closer until their lips brushed making Ammy shiver a little.Max smiled at her reaction but he couldn't hold back either.He captured her lips and kissed her lightly.He pulled back and looked at Ammy who was closing her eyes expecting more.She opened them when Max stoped and her eyes met his and they stared at each other.Ammy began feeling weak in her knees as they continued staring into each other's eyes while Max felt his desire rise while staring at her blue eyes.He couldn't hold back and he captured her lips again and they kissed passionately.Thay didn't even realize that Milady and Maya were standing close by watching until Milady spoke.

"I see why breakfast was called off Maya..."she spoke while looking at Maya with a smile.Ammy pulled away from Max while panting hard.
