Texts [boyxboy]

- 26. -

Max's point of view.

   After that conversation with Alex, I went home.

   I told my mom everything that had happened, craving for a piece of advise.

   "You know? I think you should get used to this new concept." She said.

   "What do you mean?"

   "I mean that yes, the situation between you two is kinda weird now, but making it even more weird by treating him differently now is not worth it."

   I've been thinking about it for a little while now.

   It all started with a text, so maybe if I text him I'll be able to feel the same way I did for the past weeks, right?

Max
Hey

   He doesn't take long to answer.

Alex
Max, hey

Max
Watcha doing?

Alex
I just got done with the unpacking

Max
Cool

Max
Look, hm

Max
Would you like to hang out tomorrow? I can show you around and stuff

Alex
Look, I don't want you to feel forced to spend time with me unless you really want to

Max
No, I want to, I promise

   This time Alex takes a bit longer before sending his response.

Alex
Alright, five pm in the hotel's door?

Max
Deal

   I let out all the air in my lungs before gulping loudly. What a way to face my fears.
