I stared at myself in the mirror, hating my stupid hair. Why did it decide to look good everyday except the day I was going on my first date with the guy I had been crushing on for for-freaking-ever?
Damn you hair. Just go die.
“Mark, calm down. You’re acting like a chick. Your hair looks fine,” Shaw promised, lying on my bed and texting.
“Shaw,” I groaned. “I want a new face. Go buy me one before Maxx gets here.”
“Aw but Mark! You have such an adorable wittle face!” Shaw cooed, jumping up and coming over to me. He pinched my cheek and made a kissy face at me.
“Shaw!” I whined and slapped his hand off of me. Shaw chuckled and literally started smacking at my head.
“Shaw!” I whined again and ducked.
“Check the mirror. I have once again worked my magic on you Marky boy,” Shaw said proudly, spinning me to face the mirror.
I looked at my hair and sighed. “Shaw, I don’t even want to know how you hitting me in the head makes my hair look good,” I said, shaking my head.
“I have a talent. Now, I should leave before Maxx gets here. I left you a present under your pillow by the way. Good luck Mark!” Shaw winked and left my house.
I went to my pillow and picked it up. I sighed again and snatched the condom up, hiding it in the bottom of my clothes drawer. Imagine if my grandpa found it. Oh lord. What if my mom found it? She would think I was a whore!
My doorbell rang and I rushed to answer it before my grandpa did. I hadn’t actually seen him today, which wasn’t a good sign. It either meant he was off somewhere with my mom, or he was trying to dig another foxhole in the backyard. Sigh.
I opened the door and Maxx grinned at me, leaning against the doorframe. My heart about stopped as I took in his impossibly sexy appearance.
He was wearing a white T-shirt with a black, white, and yellow plaid shirt lazily buttoned up over it. He wore torn, faded jeans and a pair of dirty Chucks. But for some reason, it made him look so incredibly hot that I would probably let him fuck me if he wanted.
Easy Mark. First date. You are not Shaw. You do not think of dirty things. Like Maxx touching my body. With his shirt off. And his pants, too. You know, if he wanted them off. Because I was Mark Luce. I was a good boy. Uh…yea.
“Mark, you’re doing it again,” Maxx said, his face mere inches from mine.
I jumped back in shock and blushed. “S-Sorry,” I mumbled, looking down at my feet. Maxx chuckled and grabbed my chin, gently tipping it up and pressing his lips to mine.
“Are your parents home?” he asked curiously.
I shrugged, honestly not knowing where anybody was. “I thought my grandpa was,” I said and glanced over my shoulder nervously as if he would jump out screaming about Japs.
He didn’t and I relaxed before mentally groaning. “I left my shoes in my bedroom,” I said with a sigh. “I’ll be right back.”
Maxx’s grin got wider. “I’ll go with you,” he said and stepped into my house, sliding his own shoes off. I hesitated before nodding and grabbing his hand, basically sprinting with him into my bedroom. I shut my door just to be safe before pulling my shoes out from under my bed and tying them on.
“Nice room Mark. I didn’t realize I was dating a fan of Simple Plan,” Maxx said, looking at all the Simple Plan posters I had tacked up on my wall.
I blushed. “Yea. I love them,” I said with a shrug.
Jude meowed from the corner of my room and Maxx glanced at him. “Family pet, or your own?” he asked.
“Jude’s my cat. My mom gave him to me for my birthday five years ago,” I said, crouching next to the cat and scratching his head affectionately. He meowed and licked my hand once before getting up and jumping onto my bed. He curled up and laid down, watching Maxx suspiciously.
Maxx held his hand out to me and I eagerly took it. We left my bedroom and walked towards the front door. We reached the living room and I face palmed myself.
“Shush boy! They’ll hear you!” grandpa said, looking around and glaring at the couch. He pointed a water gun at it.
“Grandpa, I’m going out on a date. I’ll be back later,” I said with a sigh.
Grandpa glanced at Maxx and I and raised a suspicious eyebrow. “You’re going on a date with him?” he asked and I nodded.
“Gay boys can’t be in the army!” he cried.
“Grandpa, I told you I was gay 4 years ago,” I said, rolling my eyes. “This isn’t news. Goodbye and have fun shooting the couch.”
I pulled Maxx downstairs and he slipped his shoes on. We left the house and got into his car together. Maxx coughed to disguise a laugh and I sighed again.
“Sorry about him. He thinks he’s still in World War Two,” I mumbled with a helpless shrug.
“It’s okay. It was amusing, no offense,” he said as he took off onto the road.
“No offense taken. Shaw always gets amused by my grandpa. He always whistles so that my grandpa thinks someone is dropping a bomb,” I said and Maxx chuckled.
He grabbed his iPod and put on You by Framing Hanley. The two of held hands and relaxed back in comfortable silence save for the music.
“I was thinking about telling you I was in love, I was in love with you.”
Maxx leaned over and kissed me at a stoplight before continuing to drive. I fished around my brain for something to say to get us talking.
“So Maxx, where were you for those two years?” I asked, hoping I didn’t sound too creepy.
“I was living with my dad for those two years. My mom was switching jobs at the time and struggling money wise, so she sent me off with my dad. When she was financially stable again, she took me back,” he said with a shrug.
“Did you want to come back?” I asked curiously, wanting to know more about Maxx. I hadn’t even been aware his parents were divorced. I wanted to know more so that I wouldn’t say something that would offend or upset Maxx.
Maxx shrugged again and gave me a slight smile. “I guess. It’s not like I mind staying with my dad or anything, but I did miss Chandler. He’s been my best friend for years. Plus my mom gets awful pissy when I stay with my dad for too long. They really hate each other.”
“Oh. I’m sorry,” I said awkwardly.
Maxx laughed and shook his head. “It’s not like it’s your fault. They divorced years ago, and it’s more of my mom despising my dad than my dad hating on my mom. I rarely stay with my dad because my mom hates him. And when I do stay with him, it has to be a public trade off.” He rolled his eyes.
He glanced at me. “What about your rents? I never even asked you. Are they together or…?”
I shrugged. “My parents are together, but my dad is gone for most of the year for work,” I said. I had gotten used to him being gone, plus my mom worked a lot so I rarely saw her either. It was usually just me, Jude, and my grandpa. My parents had gotten me the Jude to make up for them always being gone.
“Man, that really blows. Hey, we’re here,” Maxx said and pulled the keys out of the ignition. I looked up and rolled my eyes at Maxx.
He grinned. “What? I can’t take my boyfriend to an amusement park?” he asked innocently.
I smiled and got out of the car. Maxx locked it and hooked his keys on his belt loop before taking my hand and paying for us to get inside. He instantly pulled me over to a roller coaster and smirked.
“Are you okay with roller coasters Mark?” he asked and I nodded as we got in the line.
We got on the roller coaster and Maxx slung an arm around me as it started moving. He pressed his lips to mine and winked at me as we reached the top of the tracks.
A second later, the roller coaster shot down at an alarming rate. I couldn’t help but smile at the screams of the other passengers as the wind smacked my in the face, no doubt ruining the hair Shaw had somehow managed to fix earlier.
Maxx and I screamed for the hell of it on the next drop, laughing together as the roller coaster looped upside down and twisted sideways. Maxx probably would have kissed me, but the air seemed to be sucked right out of us with every twist and turn the roller coaster took.
Eventually, the ride ended and we got off, laughing and dizzy. Maxx hugged me and kissed me with a smile. “Ready for the next ride?” he asked and I nodded and staggered a little as we walked. Maxx laughed and slipped his arm around my waist to keep me steady.
We ended up riding several more roller coasters, one of those giant drop rides, and a bunch of other rides that made me dizzy.
Maxx led me over to the Ferris Wheel as it got dark and he winked at me as we sat down together. The ride took us up toward the top and I rested my head on Maxx’s shoulder as he wrapped an arm around me.
“I wanted us to have some fun before I got cliché with the date,” he explained with a chuckle.
I smiled and pulled my head off his shoulder to kiss him. He pulled me into his lap and licked my bottom lip.
I opened my mouth and Maxx slipped his tongue in. Maxx rubbed his tongue against mine and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He kept his around my waist. I shifted slightly and a slight moan escaped Maxx as I accidentally rubbed against him.
He pulled away from me, breathless. I blushed and shifted off of him. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.
“Sorry. I don’t want to have to walk around with an erection the rest of the date. Jesus Christ Mark!” he said and chuckled again.
“I didn’t mean to rub you like that,” I mumbled shyly.
Oh gosh. Shaw could never, never, NEVER know about this. He would never let it drop. Yes, I was a teen boy. No, I wasn’t a horny mother fucker.
“Maxx, I had fun,” I said, placing my head back on his shoulder. He pressed his lips to mine gently and grinned.
“Would you be up to go back to Chandler’s tomorrow? You just might get your leg humped by his sister,” he said, rolling his eyes.
I laughed softly and nodded. “Sure, I’ll go back to Chandler’s. I’m gay but I’m not a complete pussy. Little girls don’t scare me that much.”
I suddenly realized that I had barely zoned out today. Maxx seemed to be the only person who could hold my attention for so long without me zoning out.
I looked at him and couldn’t help but smile and kissed him roughly. He kissed me back and returned the smile once he had pulled away. I felt my eyes shining and knew I was falling deeply in love with Maxx Falcone.
