Chapter 181: Maxwell can’t tell the full truth
Andrew and Maxwell had a rather relaxed evening after the craziness of the plans they had made. Maxwell didn’t have any work he needed to complete, so when they got home, Maxwell helped Andrew by setting the table and Andrew warmed up the food he had prepared for the night ahead of time because they knew it was going to be a late night getting home.
They didn’t realise how late, but such was life. Andrew was just happy to have a nice ending to the day so that he could gear up for tomorrow and get hassled. Meeting Maria had actually been a small blessing in disguise.
It had helped him get into the mindset of what he could potentially be in for when he went to dinner tomorrow. It also, like he told Maxwell, what he could be in for as well. Maria was a sweet girl from what he had remembered of her, and she turned into a sweet woman as she had aged. Andrew was actually quite happy that he’d gotten to see her, and her family.
It was good to see that Zack still looked at her like that. It soothed a small part of him. He’d been the one to practically cut everyone off after his Mom had died. Maybe it was time to try and reach out to people, see if they were interested in meeting up for coffee or something. He had a sneaking suspicion that if he had had more people around him when everything had gone down with Tracey, he potentially wouldn’t have manifested the way that he had.
Dinner complete, and a sleepy, but pleased Maxwell in his lap as Andrew rubbed his back, Andrew felt like he had truly succeeded in life.
With that being said, he knew that they needed to discuss the daycare. And what they wanted to do with their day tomorrow before they had to go for dinner.
"Maxy?" Andrew called softly and Maxwell turned his head slightly to look up at Andrew. He was relaxed across his lap, Andrew’s fingers scratching at his back carefully. Maxwell looked so comfortable. He was even having a hard time keeping his eyes open. He was stretched out like a cat, his whole body boneless.
"Hmm?" He responded and Andrew felt a wide smile cross his lips. He reached down with his other hand, running his fingers through his hair. Maxwell went even more lax.
"What do you want to do tomorrow during the day?" Andrew asked and Maxwell sighed.
