“What?” Luna asked with confusion
“Why? I’m serious” Maximus said while looking at her proudly.
Luna’s heart moved when Maximus said and promised her that he will date her for the rest of his life. She never encountered such a very decisive man in her life.
Although Shawn is a sweet and gentleman, Maximus would never be like him. Shawn is boyfriend material. He gave her compliments, made her laugh, and always let her decide for herself and them. Luna thought
And Maximus, a rich man, they just met recently, a spoiled brat, maybe and is really innocent about love. How can he say that? Luna again thought while still looking at him.
Is he really serious about her?
“Have you been in a relationship before?” Luna asked. She wanted to know if Maximus had already experienced being in a relationship, and based on his actions and attitude, she already suspected that he never had one since birth.
“No. I am not interested in those women who would throw themselves at me. They just want my money. And never been in a relationship before” He honestly answered her.
Luna laughed.
“Why? What’s wrong? I’m telling you the truth.” Maximus asked while raising his brow.
“Since then, huh?” Luna giggled and made Maximus a bit upset.
Luna was right. He doesn’t have any idea about how hard it is to be in a relationship. She sighed and confronted Maximus.
“How about this, perhaps you have feelings for me?” Luna asked curiously.
“That thing… I don’t know. Maybe, I guess?” Maximus said. He really did not know his feelings or what to say about such a topic. It’s his first time be interested in a lady.
Luna suddenly had an urge to kick him on the balls. How could he claim something that he was not so sure about? Being in a relationship and talking about marriage is a very serious matter for her. Definitely, it’s not a game wherein you can start over and over if you lose.
“Then why are you saying these things when you are not sure about your feelings? In the end, you are just going to hurt me, just like Shawn. Did you understand that?” Luna suddenly wanted to massage her head because Maximus is giving her a headache.
“How can you be so sure that I am really going to hurt you, though we’re not yet dating? How sure are you that our feelings would never be compatible? Try me! I will make a hundred percent sure that you will fall hard to me and with that, I am going to catch you”
Luna cannot help herself but blushed and felt embarrassed after hearing those statements from him.
Maximus is absolutely, definitely, indeed, a hundred percent really crazy. Luna thought.
“Forget it. I’ll drive you home. Come on.” Maximus said and Luna followed her in the parking lot.
Maximus decided to end their conversation. Then, Luna felt that she’s wasting her time talking to him. She already knew that she would not win against him and about his proposal to be his lover and wife.
They are already inside the car, with complete silence. No words from both of them.
Then, she sighed.
“By the way, you still have three months to decide, remember?” Maximus said casually when he noticed Luna sighing heavily.
Does she really have the slightest interest in me? Besides, I am handsome, rich, famous, and a genius. How come Luna did not want to be my lover? I am 100% guaranteed that I am the best candidate in the City to love her. Only the best candidate though. Maximus thought.
“How can I stop myself thinking about it when you are the only ones who have a right to decide for myself? And in the end, I will still end up becoming yours?” She asked angrily.
“Because you are destined to be mine. We are destined to be together.” Maximus smiled at her future bride and started driving.
She blushed when Maximus shut her with his sweet words. He surely had the guts to say things like that. He’s freaking shameless. Luna thought.
Luna immediately gets out of the car when they arrive at the front of her house. She doesn’t want to talk with Maximus anymore because she’s about to go insane if she dared to.
Maximus also went out of the car and walked towards Luna. When Maximus saw her house again, he felt like he wanted to go inside and feel her home again.
“Hey, are you not going to ask me to go inside?”
She suddenly faced Maximus and gave /what? -why? / look.
“Why do you want to go inside, huh? I’m not in my mood to invite and entertain some visitors, just like you. My house is small and besides, you’ll never like my house.” Luna said.
“How can you be so sure that I don’t like your house when you don’t want to let me come in?” Maximus said in a serious, sarcastic tone.
In fact, Maximus already experienced the feeling of warmth inside her house the time he snuck inside before. Luna had no idea about that due to the fact that she never saw his face and the light was destroyed by him.
“It’s because my house is not as beautiful as yours?” Luna explained and looked away.
“Okay, stop comparing my house to your house. It doesn’t matter whether the house is big or small, beautiful, or ugly. For as long as you or I can call it home, then I am fine with it”
Maximus looked at her. Luna raised her brow then decided to let him come in. She doesn’t want to argue with him anymore, a hard-headed man.
“And I don’t mind if it’s full of things or not. What I want is the presence of warmth and peace. That’s it” Maximus grinned.
Luna smiled when she heard Maximus’s reasoning. She admired him for being honest, as well as a man who knows how to appreciate small things, unlike other rich people, belittling others just because they have high standards.
What matters to him is not the big or small size of the house. Instead, whether he can call and feel it like home.
“Hmmm. Okay, come in. Don’t touch anything”,
“You said that before”. he mumbled.
“What?”
“I just said my parents had this kind of small house type before.”
“Whatever, I’ll cook food for us. Wait on the couch”
