What did you ask for Christmas?

Athena's POV

It's been a few days since I came back from my mom's house and well I'm feeling much better. I spent most days in my room and drawing because I felt embarrassed for being vulnerable in front of Max. Technically, I was trying to avoid Max but it was so easy as he was hardly at home as he said that he had a lot of work at thus moment due to some problem.

So right now, I'm currently in the room where there is the art of Pegasus. I have been studying his art for like the past hour and have been taking inspiration. I mean steal like an artist. I find it very interesting that lately, I have taken a liking in sketching out people. Well more like I was drawing Max in all those intense poses and just giving out a sensual vibe.

At this point, I can't let anyone see my sketchbook. I actually find inspiration when I close my eyes and the first thing I see, I draw it. So lately, I have been just seeing him and I just drew him then. Am I fantasizing about him?

Finally coming out of my thoughts, I looked at my phone and realised that it's already six in the afternoon and I wanted to make dinner tonight. I quickly rushed out of the art room and made my way to the kitchen.

As I was practically running, I saw Max come out of no where. I didn't have time to slow down and ended up going into a head on collision with him. On impact, I heard him groaned out of pain followed by me feeling his elbow smash hard against my cheek making me whimper in pain. As we were about to fall down, he managed to hold my arms in support.

"Are you okay," we both said simultaneously. I couldn't help but giggle at the scene as he chuckled. "Oh shit, your cheek," he said as he cupped my face. "It's getting purplely," he said as he looked at my cheek intently. As I smiled, I felt a slight pain on the right cheek. "I'm so sorry little dove. Come let me ice it," he said as he held my hand and led me to the kitchen.

"Max I'm fine," I said as I tried to get his attention but he was focused on getting the ice. As he placed the ice which was in a cloth onto my cheek, I winced. He looked at me in concern. "Hey stop feeling guilty about this. I can see it in your eyes. Anyways it was an accident and I was the one running," I said as I watched him tilt his head while he looked at the bruise on my face. He just gave me a small smile. Oh man I suddenly have this strong urge to kiss him.

"I'll be fine. I can do this on my own," I told him as I took the ice from his hand. "Be back in like an hour. Dinner will be ready by then," I told him as I went and got the frying pan from the cupboard and started taking out the ingredients from the fridge. "Are you making dinner," he asked me making me roll my eyes.

"No I'm going to give my dog a bath in this frying pan. Obviously I'm making dinner ,you dumdum," I said. He was looking at me with his mouth wide opened. "What did you call me, little dove," he said as he came closer to me. "I called you a dumdum," I said as I childishly stuck out my tongue at him. He looked at me and chuckled.

He caught my nose between his two fingers and pinched it making me mouth open. "What a child," he said making me roll my eyes. "Anyways let me help you, it will be faster," he said and I shrugged. "So how was your day," he asked as he chopped up some vegetables that I gave him.

"Well it was great. I was studying the artwork of Pegasus," I said as I flattened the chicken breast in front of me. Once in a while, I placed the ice on my bruised cheek. "You really like the work," he said and I nodded. "He is such a talented person. I love that each individual art piece is different from each other. I love the one where he painted half human face and the top part emerging was the forest," I said while I dipped the chicken in the egg mixture.

"Yea he is mostly expressing what he feels on the inside," Max said and I nodded in agreement. "He is truly mesmerizing. He has a way with words and on top of that he has exquisite art," I said with a smile playing on my lips.

As time passed by, we continued having this nice conversation while we made dinner altogether. I felt at ease talking to him. We even started talking about what I want to work as in the future. He was kind enough to give me some very wise advice on many grounds. Well my admiration for him just keeps growing the more I spend time with him.

"Can you grab me a cup of water please," I asked Max as I placed the food, which was smelling divine, the table. He grabbed the faucet and twisted it when it suddenly came off. In a fraction of second, water started spraying out of it and everything near the sink was getting drenched. I was in shock as I watched Max trying to block the water from going all over the place. I ran towards him and get soaked in the process. As I looked in the cabinet under the sink, I looked for the handle that cuts the water supply and quickly found the red handle. Quickly closing it, I saw Max's body relax. I got out of the cabinet and saw him all wet with the faucet in his hand.

I couldn't help but started laughing my ass off at the sight in front of me. He was playfully glaring at me, making me smile. Looking around, I saw that the whole floor was covered in water. "What a mess," I said. Turning to get out of the water, I felt my feet slide onto the water.

As I felt my body going backwards, I felt something quickly come around my waist while hearing Max call my name. Making contact with the floor, I felt myself on my side. Opening my eyes, I met the beautiful brown orbs of Max staring back at me. "Thanks," I said as I realised that he prevented me from getting hurt. "You scared the crap out of me," he said as he sighed.

We were both laying on the wet floor, looking at each other. I couldn't help but smile at his statement. Looking back into his eyes, I felt myself getting lost the longer I stare into them. The surroundings seemed to fade away. I unconsciously leaned in as he looked at my lips. As he stared at my lips, they automatically parted.

Lifting my chin with the help of his fingers, his lips met mine. It was slow and filled with emotions, making me moaned with all the different sensations that I was experiencing. He gently stroked my cheek with his thumb. His tongue was exploring all around my mouth as moans escaped my mouth.

Suddenly, I heard someone clear their throat, making me push Max away. "YOU. What are you doing here," Max said as he looked towards the door while helping me up.
