I opened my eyes and noticed it was almost dawn.
The sun was laying on the horizon and slowly made its way up lifting the darkness of the night opening endless new possibilities for the day ahead.
Looks like Max drove all night.
I turned to look at Max.
The orange and yellow rays of the sun was lightly brushing over his face.
I watched his expression as he drove.
My eyes trail down his side profile and stopped at his lips.
Beautiful deep wine red lips...
This man was like one of those fictional characters from the romance novel you read on line, yet jere I was sitting less than a meter away from him.
I was still watching him when he suddenly looked at me.
As if I was caught red handed I looked away a the crimson red on my cheeks were quite evident of my crime.
"Hey... You slept well...?"
I am not in my right mind to answer him right now so I just nod.
"You okay, you look a bit red..."
He reached his one hand over to touch my cheek.
"Your so hot... Are you running a fever... Are you sick?"
He sounded so concerned, but the only sickness I had was love sickness.
Maybe a little s*x withdrawal but nothing serious.
"I'm feeling fine, just hungry, did you drive all night, can we maybe stop for breakfast, aren't you tired?"
I only realized I was rambling when Max broke out into a fit of laughter.
"Celine,... You were checking me out... Dam.. You should really remember to wipe the drool next time, unless you want to get caught again..."
He kept laughing.
I felt so embarrassed and subconscious reached for my mouth as if I was admitting his words.
He watched me and kept on laughing.
I just ignored him and less than 10 minutes later we stopped in front of a huge black gate.
Max spoke to tje guard outside and than theu let us in.
We drove uo the driveway, overgrown with beautiful willow trees on either side, and a small lake to the right of the road disappearing just behind the huge face brick house.
"Here we are my princess... Welcome to the home of your fairy Godmother..."
I was in awe at the beauty I was looking at.
Max got of and came around to my side.
He opened the door, took my hand and walked us up the stairs into the house.
At the door we were welcomed by a few maids, than a young girl about 12 came running towards max.
He scooped her uo in the air.
"Hi... How my favorite niece...?"
I remember he said his sister had a daughter.
Than this must be her home.
"Max why are you only coming home now, you missed my party..."
The girl said.
"Well, as you can see... This princess over here..."
He took my hand.
"She needed a prince to save her so..."
She looked at me and I can see she wasn't happy.
"You said I was the only princess... Max you lie to much..."
She suddenly jumped down from Max's hands and walked fast into the house.
"Okay now that, right there... She has definitely better understanding of you than any I have met so far..."
I heard a woman's voice from behind us.
I turned around and was faced with a female version of Max, older but the exact eyes, nose chin... Even down to tje dimple on her left cheek.
" You have been teaching my niece bad things havnt you?, you know I never lie..."
Max said looking a bit nervous.
The woman introduced herself to me.
"Hi im Celia Rodriguez... Max's older sister..."
I took her hand
"Nice to finally meet you Celia Max has said many wonderful things about you, I am Celine Connor..."
After she heard my name her expression changed.
She looked over at Max.
Than back at me.
She left my hand and walked over to where Max was basically Cowering.
"You seem to have a death wish brother..."
She stated not so suddle.
"You better hope, Pa, don't come around here while you have her here... Or you know what will happen..."
Suddenly I felt like those words was something I wasn't familiar with, and I felt hurt.
At that moment while Max and Celia stood arguing over my presence, I walked away, down the steps and into Max's car.
I got in, locked the doors and started the engine.
I was already halfway down the driveway when only than I saw Max running behind the car.
I didn't care.
Since Max was being so good to me, I got used to himand thatvmade me feel that the so-called love I was feeling was just that, me being use to his presence and that was my first ever mistake.
One I will fix straight away.
I was happy that I haven't told max about my stupid feelings , because at least I still have a change to walk away...
Far far away.
I exited the gate and took a right and got onto the first exit to the highway.
I had no idea where we were but at least I could see the name Over city written on the sign board.
"Over city 809miles"
What the hell.
This was a whole day's drive from where the hell ever I was but god only knew I had to get away while I had the chance.
I buckled up and than started driving.
I don't even have a license but what the fuck..
I just need to stay within the speed limits and I'm sure I will be fine...
A single tear made its way down my cheek, as I reply Celia's words in my head...
I should have known...
