Currently, I was sitting inside Mr. Maxwell car. We did not say anything, the entire ride was filled with silence. I don't know what to say, so I turned the sound on of the radio, "Can we just talk" by Steve Collins started to play softly.

Can't we just talk?

Can't we just talk?

Talk about where we're going

Before we get lost.

I closed my eyes, resting my head on the door glass. Opening my eyes little, gazing towards Mr. Maxwell, his eyes focused on the road, strumming his fingers on steering wheel along the song. Suddenly his gaze fall upon me, I hurriedly close my eyes pretending I wasn't looking. After a min so, peeking through my one eyes I stared at him again

Suddenly the car silence filled with growling of my stomach, my cheeks turn red in embarrassment.

"Hungry?" he finally speaks

"No" I shake my head lying. I was so busy tonight that I didn't get time to eat

"Well I am" he said stopping his car near McDonald's.

My eyes lit up reading that big red yellow name in front of me. Mr. Maxwell opened my door, letting me step out. I smiled at him walking beside him

We went towards the counter, to order our food.

"Chicken nuggets, a big Mac and iced tea" Mr. Maxwell ordered, the guy looked up hearing his voice his eyes widening

"And for the lady" the guy behind the counter ask still looking at Mr. Maxwell

"I will have a veg burger with fries and a Coke" I told him my order

"I thought you weren't hungry" Mr. Maxwell said raising his eyebrows

"I uh" I got tongue tied. My cheeks getting red.

"Kidding" he chuckled

I looked up at him, thinking if this man is real. 5 mins ago he didn't even utter a single word and now he is joking.

Giving him a lip tight smile, I took out my purse to pay for my order.

"I have already paid"

"But I didn't ask you to"

Mr Maxwell looked at me for a second, looking amused

"I brought you here, it's my treat" he said leaving no place for further argument.

Putting my money back inside my pocket, we walked towards the cabin

Finding a proper place to sit, we settled ourselves. The place was filled with few people and they were gazing at Mr. Maxwell and he seems not to mind the attention.

Drawing a deep breath, I played with my fingers, that's what I do when I am nervous. How should you react when you are sitting next to your crush? I really don't know because this is my first time experience and clearly I'm not doing it well

Clearing his throat, he looked at me. "The speech was great"

"Thankyou" I replied and then again starting to look here and there.

"I uh" he started

I looked at him waiting for him to continue.

"I didn't know you used to live in that orphanage"

My breath got stuck on my throat, I knew he would ask this but I didn't expected it so soon

"Uh yes" I said softly biting my bottom lip into my teeth

His eyes fell on my lips, making my heart rate increase. My breathing is uneven and I slowly stuck my bottom lips out, his eyes got darker, rushing different emotions in them

"Sir your order is ready" the guy behind the counter informed making us look apart.

Mr. Maxwell stood up to fetch our order while I sat there wondering if he was really looking at my lips.

Maxwell's hands was balancing both the trays so I stood up and helped him with the other tray. As I took the tray from his hands, my fingers brushed against his hands, butterflies started to dance inside my stomach. I immediately looked at him to see if he felt it too but his face showed no such emotions. Sitting back down to my sit, I started munching on my fries.

"Want to have some?" Mr. Maxwell asked pushing his chicken nuggets near me

"I'm vegetarian" I replied pressing my lips together.

"Oh. Didn't know that" he furrowed his eyes

"You don't know a lot things about me, Mr. Maxwell" I replied instantly but later realized that I appeared rude.

"That's true and please call me Charles" he said looking down eating his Mac

"Okay Mr. max- Charles" that sounded really weird as I was used to Mr. Maxwell.

He smiled in return.

"How is Sarah?" I asked not wanting to stop the conversation

"She is doing well"

"I hope Brandon is taking good care of her" I replied smiling remember the conversation I had with Brandon last time

I got no response from Mr. Maxwell, so I look up to see him clenching his jaw. He looks angry.

"Uh what happened?" I asked confused if I said anything wrong

"How do you know that Brandon knows about the baby?" He asked looking into my eyes so deeply as if he's searching for something

"Because he came to my apartment today and we had a talk about it. He asked for advice" I explained him. There is no point in lying, he obviously heard me while Brandon was talking to him on the phone

When I said that, he relaxed. His clenched jaw soften and he didn't had that angry look anymore

"Oh. He came by?" He asked now more relaxed

"Yes, he said how he wanted to make things work between him and Sarah" I told him everything

He nodded smiling.

I was still confused why he reacted that way but I ignored it and focused on my fries and burger.

We were back to his car now going to my apartment. I was beyond exhausted and just wanted to sleep.

Looking at the history, I tried my best to open my eyes because I don't want him to carry me again to my bed.

I glanced at him, to see that he is smiling.

"What are you smiling about?" I asked

He looked at me and his smile grew more, showing his dimple. Ohh I just wanted to take a picture of him and keep it forever with me.

"Nothing. Just had a wonderful time" turning back to road

"Yeah. Me too"

Hearing me say that, he looked at me again now with more serious look.

Turning myself towards him, resting my head on seat, I too looked at him. I don't know where this courage came from because I always shy away whenever he looks at me.

Realizing he is not paying attention towards road

"Charles" I said softly

"Hmm?" Still looking at me

"You're driving"

"I know" still not looking away

Than he realized, his eyes snapped back at road.

Chuckling nervously, he scratched the back of his head.

That's cute. I thought to myself. Sitting straight, I smiled at the moment we had.

Maybe

Maybe it just not only me.

Maybe he feels it too.
