A Drunk Max's POV
The Waiter, I think who's name is Matteo comes back to the table with our food. He places my seafood trio platter on my side of the table along with my pasta salad. He brings with him some chopsticks.

"Enjoy," he says.

"Sure," I say.

"Bon appetite baby," Richard says.

I smile and pick up my green chopsticks, tasting my spaghetti salad.

"How is it?" Richard asks.

"It tastes good," I say. "Sooo freaking good."

"You're welcome," he says.

"Haha Thanks for taking me out to eat, you're a really good friend," I say.

Richard's POV
Very funny Max, friend? I took you on a dinner date and that's all you have to say to me.....

"Okay," I say without another word.

We both eat our food in a moment of silence. I loved the flavors of this food. Chicken Carbonara is one of my favorite pasta dishes ever.

Not until we're almost done with our food, Max speaks
"I really do appreciate you for doing this, it means a lot and it's made my day better," he says.

"Sweet, I'm glad I could help," I say.

We both take a drink of our wine.

"So why has your day been shitty?" I ask.

I took him out because he's one of the hottest guys in school and I've wanted to get to know him between the cheeks you know, also I'm curious of how him and Kayden aren't speaking, usually I don't usually catch feelings but he seems like an adorable and sweet guy.......idk

"Can you stay quiet about it, if I tell you?" He asks.

"Who can I tell?" I ask. "And I won't say anything.

"Okay," he says. "So Me and Kayden got into an argument........"

"About?" I ask

"Me liking him......."

"Wow, wasn't he like the first person you came out to?" I ask.

"Yea, I kissed him and he seemed to hate it I guess and pushed me....."

"Pft, he's an asshole just like Kody," I say. "Ruining you guys friendship over this..... I never liked none of those rich snobs anyways....."

"Don't put Kody into this, and don't call Kayden an asshole when you barely know them, they're sweet......."

"So you still like Kayden?" I ask him.

"Yea......I do.....," he says.

No wonder he acted weird and intense......But to get a few points in,
"Maybe he isn't the one for you, maybe the one for you is sitting right in front of you right now," I wink at him.

He laughs but doesn't say anything.

I smile

"You have a pretty smile," Max says. "And thank you for listening."

Max's POV

"And also you don't need a dumbass like Kayden around you, it's probably just a small crush that'll go away soon," Richard tells me. "You're just blonde and blind to all of their fake ness, did any of them even text you to check on you?"

I furrow my brow,
"Yes they did," I say. "They aren't fake. You should meet them before you judge them........they're the greatest people you can meet, shit yeah, they may be imperfect but they are family to me....."

"You rest your case, I'm sorry," Richard says.

"Don't worry about it," I say. "But don't judge a book by its cover."

"Yes sir," he says.

I smile at him,
"Thank you," I say.

"You're welcome," he says. "We're cool?"

"Yeah," I say. "Thanks again for taking me out to eat, it was sweet and yummy."

He chuckles, "You're so cute, while drunk."

"I'm not cute in general?" I ask

"Duh you are," he says. "Can I hug you?"

"Sure," I say.
We both get up and bring each other into a hug which lasted for a couple of seconds. We release each other until Richard pulls me in for another, we both laugh and I have a big smile on my face.

Richard pays the bill and a tip and we leave out of the restaurant heading towards the car.

Once we made it to the car, we open the doors, I take a seat on the passenger side while Richard is at the driver's wheel.

"You're okay to drive?" I ask, putting on my seatbelt.

"Duhhhh," he says. "I'm not a light weight like you."

"Shut up," I say turning towards him to give him a playful mean mug.

He turns towards me, "Cute," he says.

"Ugh, is everything I do cute to you?" I ask.

"Yeah," he says smirking.

"Wow," I say.

Before I could turn my head around, Richard places his hand on my cheek and pulls me into a smooth, yet, amazing kiss. The wine takes over my body as I kiss him back hard. He kisses me even harder and goes in for a long kiss.....

He tears my sweater off and continues kissing me. He then continues onto my neck, I moan.

"You're so sexy," he says, moving his hand all over my chest and ribs.

"You are too," I say.

"I could devour you whole," Richard says.

I laugh, "That's good to know."

He laughs, "I think tonight has been an amazing night."

"I agree, I think it has too."

"Wanna spend the night at my house?" He asks.

"Sure, anything to get away from my dad," I say.

"Cool," he says.

He pulls me in for another kiss, which turns into another long kiss which ends with us hopping into the backseat and intertwining with each other..................

Soon after we're both knocked out sleep in the backseat of the car, in the back parking lot of an Italian restaurant.
