“ yeah that. ” she says with a laugh. “ it looked like it hurt. ” she pouts softly, concerned. “ are you sure you’re okay? ” the thought of max being hurt made her sad but if he was truly okay, she’d be fine. had it been anyone else she’d taken them at face value and moved on. she cared more about max than most people she’d ever slept with and that was new for her. winnie wasn’t sure what to do with those feelings. seeing him lick his lips makes her stomach do a flip. her hand slides through his hair and down the back of his neck, her nails softly scratching against his skin. “ i’m okay, better now actually. ” she smiles, “ you? ”
“yeah, totally.” maxis laughs, a little more awkwardly as he tries once more to convince her he’s alright. of course, once he feels her nails on the back of his neck he forgets what pain even is. all he can feel now is the goosebumps rising up his arms and the way his stomach seems to suspend in mid air like on a roller coaster. “yeah? i-i mean, same. i’m better now, too. definitely.”
