They should never have met.
Each one of them lived in different parts of the world. She lived in the light, an ordinary existence while he kept to the shadows, the underworld.
But one fate encounter brought them together and no matter how hard the...

2 Months later
I sat eating waffles watching some show I wasn't paying attention to. It's been two months, nine weeks to be exact, since I have last seen Maximus. I know I shouldn't be pining over him since we were never in a relationship but for some reason I can't help myself.
I know the weeks since he was gone... that's what you call pathetic with a capital 'P'.
In my defence, he promised me a date.
Hearing a knock, I got up from my pity party to see who was there, grabbing another waffle on the way. Another knock came making me groan. "I'm coming! Hold your horses, dam."
Looking through my peep hole I find Anthony on the other side making me sigh and open the door. Looks like I can't mope anymore. When I came in view, he shook his head at my appearance. "Looks who is up, thought you were never going to open the door."
Rolling my eyes, I close the door behind him as he already came inside without needing any invitation. "Always so impatient, hey that's my waffle put it down!"
He laughed ignoring me and sat on the couch digging into my breakfast. "You have one in your hand."
"Yeah well I'm hungry." I muttered joining him on my couch taking back the waffle. "And I made these for me. You want one, make your own."
Anthony chuckled leaning back taking up the remote. "And still moping over tall, dark and Italian I see. When I told you to enjoy the bad boy, I didn't mean get attached. Didn't you pay any attention to my 'casual isn't casual for long' talk?"
Scowling I took an angry bite into my waffle, munching on it making Anthony laugh waiting for me to say something in my defence. "I listened, and when he went away for work we agreed to take space to think about what we want. If we want casual then we might need to rewrite our agreement. Stop looking so smug."
"Someones grouchy." Anthony muttered.
Adjusting on the couch I continue eating and let out a groan when I finally found a comfortable position. "I need to layoff these waffles, I think I have gained like ten pounds last couple weeks."
He gave me a cautious look over before taking out his phone sending a text and then looked back to me with a strange look. Stopping mid chew, I snapped hoping we aren't going to have the 'casual sex with Maximus' talk again. "What?"
Anthony shrugged. "Nothing, Cody is coming over by the way."
Chuckling I leaned back and looked at my plate noticing I'm out of waffles. "Tell him to bring me food. But healthy food, if I keep eating the way I am, I will for sure gain ten pounds."
He hummed putting on John Wick making me groan.
Ten minutes later there was a knock at the door and I turned to see Cody walking into my apartment with a weird look. "Hey guys, uh brought what you wanted me to babe."
