Camie and Theressa finally comforts Ariel about her to sleep. Leaving the room they gently closed the door walking back to Camie's room, they meet with Aldrin who is leaning on the wall with hands crossed on his chest.
"How's Ari?" He ask.
Theressa replies "she's asleep".
Max shifts his gaze to Camie while the later avoids him. Noticing this Theressa clears her throat and says "I'll go first". Theressa enters the room leaving Camie and Max.
Camie also moves to enter bedroom when Max grabs her arm.
He says "Stop avoiding me Cam?"
"I'm not" she whispers.
Max hurls a sigh. "Let's take a walk down the street and back home. Please" he says in a pleading tone.
Camie nods her head softly indicating a yes. Max pushes himself away from the wall and intertwine his fingers with hers tugging her to walk side by side with him.
Max and Camie walks slowly in silence. There are gew stores which are open. The lights from both the opened and closes stores illuminates the walk way.
Max breaks the silence between them.
"I'm ready to change for you Cam, my way of living, i can't continue to act the opposite when i know what i feel" he pause in his steps making Camie halts in her steps.
They both lock gazes. Camie averts her eyes looking at the empty street behind them. She remembers when the morning service was over at church she immediately booked a cab back home. On her way she receives a message from Max.
It was a voice note ofhim confessing the feelings he has abhoured for her. She found it to good to be true. She had always had a crush on Max since her freshman year. She tried getting rid of those feelings knowing how Max lives his life as a play boy and keeps on quoting 'play boys don't love'.
It always male her sad but she had to deal with it. In order to kill her feelings for him she went as far as developing feeling a for a gay Luke Marco. That night of the truth and dare when she said the truth, seeing Max annoyed face kept her heart little at ease and even when sjwpecked Aldrin it was all to see his reaction. She got the perfect reaction which made her happy at heart.
Max tugs her hand bringing her out of her world.
Max frowns "where's tour mind Cam? Are you even listening to me?".
"I...I am" she stutters rubbing her arms.
"Let's go back, it's cold, i don't want you to catch a cold" Max says intertwining their fingers artist walk silently.
Arriving at the front porch, Max opens the door for them to enter Inside.
"Give me a chance Cam. I promise to make it up to you, i will leave my previous life behind, anything just to be with you".
Camie stares at the wall.
"I'll think about it". She says taking quick strides into her room. She needs time to sort out her feelings.
