Chapter 43

Max's POV

It's was about 7:00 and it was just starting to get dark. We were laying on the trampoline staring up at the sky.

"I'm hungry." Ryleigh said, causing me to laugh.

"We just had dinner."

"So?" She asked.

I rolled my eyes and handed her a bag of pretzels from the pile of food we brought. She gratefully took them and started eating. I laughed and shook my head.

"What are you laughing at?" She asked through a mouthful of food.

"You." I said smiling.

"Well what's so funny?"

She took a last handful of pretzels and handed the bag back to me. I took a few and set the bag to the side.

"You're adorable." I said and kissed her cheek.

She rolled her eyes and we finished eating.

"Well," she started. "This is boring."

"You're boring."

"Well what am I supposed to do on a trampoline when it's dark out? And it's starting to get cold." She whined.

I laid down and opened my arms. She looked at me confused.

"Come here." I said.

She laid next to me and I wrapped my arms around her.

"Better?" I asked.

She nodded and snuggled into my chest.

"So why wouldn't you let Tilly come?" She asked.

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because you're mine and I don't wanna share you." I shrugged.

"That's because you're stubborn." She said.

She propped herself up on her elbow and I turned to face her. I kept my arms around her waist.

"I'm not stubborn."

"You're extremely stubborn."

"I don't see how." I said.

"You just proved it by saying 'I don't wanna share you.'"

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not stubborn." I stated.

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

It went on like that for about thirty seconds. Our faces got closer every time we said something. Eventually our noses were touching and our lips were probably about a centimeter apart. But I had to control myself and not kiss her. I felt like if I kissed her, I would lose.

"Well?" She asked.

"Well what?"

"Are you gonna kiss me or not?" She laughed.

"I want to, but I can't."

"Why?" She looked at me confused.

"If I kiss you, I lose."

"Lose what?"

"This little battle." I told her.

"Seriously Max?" She asked.

I nodded.

"See? I told you that you're stubborn." She said.

"But I'm not."
