Counting The Stars and Scars

*Max's POV*

I woke up with no Jaime next to me, I thought maybe he was up early and is in the shower or making breakfast or something? I looked around the whole house I started to panic when I couldn't find him, I rushed back up stairs and to my phone, I called him as quickly as I could, being impatient as the phone rang out, finally he picked up, "Hello" I felt so happy to hear his voice, "Hi, ummm where are you? It's just I woke up and you weren't around?" I said laughing at myself as I sounded ridiculous, "I just popped round my house to grab some clean clothes and fill my car, I'll be over in ten" he said, I could basically feel him smirking at the fact that I missed him so much, and he knew that, "Okay, I'm gonna make some pancakes so hurry up" I said hearing him gasp as I hung up.

About 5 minutes has passed since I spoke to Jaime and I still haven't moved, I felt so lazy today, I was also thinking about something Mike said last night as I was pretending to be asleep so Jaime would carry me because I had sore legs. Mike knows I like Jaime and he said something about Jaime liking me, unless he knew I was awake and was just messing with me? But why would he whisper? I don't know I just really hopes that Jaime takes his advice, if he does like me, and asks me out, I'm aching for a lovely night alone with him and not just as friends but with a chance of becoming much more. I decided to get up because if Jaime came in and I haven't made his pancakes he'll probably go in a silly mood with me, I laughed at myself as I walked down the stairs thinking about the silly pouting faces Jaime makes. I ran into the kitchen and quickly started heating a frying pan on while getting the supplies I need to make the mix, after make 3 I heard the front door open, "Honey, I'm home!!" I giggled and shook my head at the pet name and phrases he uses, I felt arms come around my waist and leaned back into him. God I love this man, "what was that?" He asked smirking I just blushed and pushed him on a seat at the island, serving up his pancakes, I can't believe I said that out loud I though, blushing.

After breakfast I got changed out of my pyjamas that Jaime must have put on me last night, as I did actually fall asleep half way home, and into some 'lazy' clothes, I ran down stairs and switched the tv on at the plug, feeling Jaime's hands pull me onto his lap, "Well don't we look lazy?" He said as I nodded and shuffled off his knee lying down and resting my head on his lap, he started playing with my hair and I was about to fall asleep when Jaime spoke up and broke the comfortable silence, "Do you want to go to McDonalds?" He asked, I rolled onto my back from my side, looking up at him with wide eyes and nodding, he laughed, "Alright then go get your shoes on" he said smacking my bum as I ran away and fetched my shoes, I came back through and jumped on his back, making him give me a piggyback out to the car, "Let's play 20 questions" he insisted, "That's a childs game" I said giving him a funny look, "But it'll help me get to know you better?", he implied, "Fine!" I gave in.

"When's your birthday?" He asked, "August 8th, yours?" I replied "May 17th. Favourite colour?"
Burgundy, you?" "Orange" we carried on playing this until we reached McDonalds, "What do you want?" He asked, I replied with a simple, "McChicken sandwich and strawberry milkshake", we pulled up to the intercom and we were greeted by a warm voice asking us what we wanted, "Can I have 2 McChicken Sandwiches and 2 large Strawberry Milkshakes and 2 Toffee Ice Cream Sundaes?" He asked, "Yeah sure just drive through, thank you for ordering with McDonalds Sir, have a good meal." It took about 15 minutes to get our food and we went for a drive, "Jaime where are you taking me?" I persisted but he wouldn't tell me, "Come on, please?" I tried giving him the puppy dog eyes but he was having none of it, finally he parked at the top of a hill somewhere and we got out, he took my hand, holding the food bags for McDonalds in the other, we walked about 5 minutes to a bench that was beside a blossom tree looking out into the water, I gasped, "Awww Himes it's beautiful" I cried, I hugged him as we took our seat.

After sitting and eating in comfortable silence, I jumped as Jaime took my hand, I saw he was staring at me, I turned and looked, "What?" I giggled and blushed, "Just enjoying the view" he replied I could feel my cheeks heat up and it wasn't the warmth because the sun had just went down, "Max, will you go on a date with me next Saturday?" He asked, I was startled but soon composed myself, I nodded, "Yes, oh my god yes!" I said excitedly, I hugged him and we walked back to the car after putting our leftover food and bags in the trash.

The ride home was comfortable silence, Jaime dropped me off at my house and I went for a shower, I lay on my bed thinking about what just happened, remembering I have school tomorrow makes my stomach funny, I really don't want to go but I need to. After my shower and setting my alarm I soon dosed off to sleep, just thinking about Jaime.
