Chapter 136: We’re having fun
"Well? Do you two have an announcement to make?" Andrew and Maxwell froze when Amir’s grandmother asked that question. It was clear what he was looking for, and from the eager look on everyone else’s face, they were all making an assumption as well.
Even Ben and Amir, who were sitting in the VIP section as they approached, seemed interested. Amir’s eyes were glowing, and Andrew felt a little bit bad.
"We aren’t pregnant." Andrew told them, and they all made disappointed noises. "It’s far too soon for us to even think about that. Plus, I don’t have a job right now, and Maxwell’s busy with his career. I don’t want to put any more strain on him than I already am." Andrew said the words calmly, while Maxwell stared up at him. Andrew gave his hand a squeeze.
"Andrew, you are not-"
"Hush. I’m talking in the way you’re thinking." Maxwell’s ears turned pink and Mr. Beckett choked on the whiskey he was drinking. Maxwell’s expression shifted, and it was clear he was embarrassed.
"You are not saying what I think you’re saying right now, are you?" Maxwell whispered, but Andrew knew that most of the people near them could hear them. Andrew smiled, gently reaching for Maxwell’s face and cupping his cheek.
"You yourself said that I’ve only gotten bigger. I just worry about your health. Is that so wrong? I’m sorry I panicked. I was just so concerned for you." Maxwell, seeming to understand exactly what Andrew was doing, reached up and grabbed both of the cheeks on his face, pinching them. "Ow!" Andrew protested and Maxwell’s whole face turned red.
"This is worse. This is so much worse! Shut your damn mouth, Andrew Knox, or I swear-"
"Wait, are you covered in Andrew’s pheromones, Maxy?" Kim asked, her eyes widening. "Wait, Andy, are you able to control your pheromones enough to do that?" Kim knew she was interrupting the couple, but this was big news. Andrew stared at her blankly, before he nodded and Kim felt her eyes water.
"Max needed it. Michael said so. We’ve been working on it, but I haven’t actually done it until today." Andrew told her and Kim rushed the two of them giving them a tight hug.
"This is such good news!" Kim said, laughing and even Maxwell seemed confused.
