SO FAR SUMMER HAD BEEN AMAZING. Ella's brothers had returned to Italy three days ago. Surprisingly, there were no arguments between any of them and Max. They didn't love him, but they tolerated him. Max had assured Ella that he wasn't trying for their approval, but the next time he met them he would be, and there was no doubt in his mind that he would win them over.
Millie was staying at her aunties for a few days, Victoria Verstappen had picked her up an hour ago. "So what do you wanna do today?" Max asked, drying the dishes while Ella cleaned them. "Oh you still wanna make plans? I figured since Millie was gone you would just go meet your friends?"
"Well I don't wanna leave you here alone, we can go for lunch later?" Max offered, Ella narrowed her eyes. "Just us? Like a date?" Ella sounded skeptical, Max didn't say no. "Enough," he laughed, Ella joined in too. "Okay sounds good. One condition though," Ella stated, Max waited to hear the condition.
"You can't fall in love with me," she joked.
"Won't be a problem," he laughed, or would it? Ella giggled adorably, Max felt his chest tighten and he didn't know why. "I've never been on a date, not really." Ella said simply. Max did a double take. "You're lying."
"No? You've met my brothers, any 'date' didn't last more than two minutes if I met him outside. If he picked me up from my house, he would leave alone." She explained, Max couldn't believe it. Ella was a stunning girl, and more than one of Max's friends had showed an interest upon meeting her once. "So you've never had a boyfriend?" He pried, Antonella inhaled sharply. "Once."
"Antonella. Tonight, I'm taking you on your first real date."
"No you're not." She stated, Max rolled his eyes defeatedly. "Please?" He pleaded, Antonella sighed but gave in. "Fine but it's a friend date, deal?"
