@Eggowafflelover Max wanted to spend all her time with Eleven and that never happened with anyone else.
She breathed in slowly, taking in the sweet moment.
“Same.”
@Eggowafflelover Max wasn’t the type to get nervous, but she was at first until she heard Eleven speak.
“Yeah, we could maybe go tomorrow?”
She took a deep breath, waiting for a response.
@Eggowafflelover She kept a small smile, her eyes staying glued to Eleven.
“Okay… what is it?”
The redhead waited to see what the other girl would say.
@Eggowafflelover Max slowly stopped with her ice cream, looking at Eleven with soft eyes.
“You do? I mean, I totally miss you, too…”
She was trying her hardest to be open and not hold back anymore.
@Eggowafflelover Max nodded, looking around for a few seconds before returning her eyes to Eleven.
“Yeah, it really has… we should-“ A small pause was given, then she spoke again. “We should hang out more.”
The redhead continued to enjoy her strawberry ice cream.
@Eggowafflelover Max looked at Steve, then pointed to the strawberry ice cream.
“Two in a cone.”
She grabbed both seconds later, handing one to Eleven before finding them a table to sit at.
@Eggowafflelover The line moved quickly and soon enough it was time for them to order.
“What do you want?”
She whispered softly, her eyes moving over the array of flavors.
@Eggowafflelover The loud noises were echoing from every corner, but she didn’t think much of it at first.
Max turned to Eleven, tilting her head just slightly. “It’s okay. This is normal.”
She continued to guide her until they got to scoops and then she stopped in the line.
@Eggowafflelover Max looked over for a second, her ocean colored eyes finally landing on Eleven longer than she meant to.
She felt the very same butterflies twisting in her stomach.
Eventually, she looked ahead and guided her to the entrance of the mall.
@Eggowafflelover Max walked beside her, sneakingly stealing glances along the way.
There was so much she could say, yet her words were failing her. She liked being around Eleven.
“So…” She kicked a rock to the side, her arms swaying. “We’re almost there.”
@Eggowafflelover “Totally. We can go to scoops.”
The smile that almost seemed hesitant turned to a genuine, comfortable one the longer she stood there.
“Ready?”
@Eggowafflelover “Hangout? Oh, sure. That would be cool.”
A few strands of red hair were tucked behind her ear, offering another smile.
Spending time with Eleven always made Max feel happy, but she had no idea why.
@Eggowafflelover “Yeah, it has…”
Max lifted her right shoulder in a shrug and then pursed her lips.
“I’ve been skateboarding a lot, uh, that’s about it. What about you?” She asked softly, her stance being one of awkwardness because she wasn’t sure how to act.
@LucasOfHawkins Silence overtook her, unsure of what he would say next. It was a sweet question, although she wouldn’t melt openly; inside she was warm and elated. Interlocking their fingers, she gently squeezed his hand and gave a simple nod to agree. “I guess that wouldn’t be the worst thing.”
