We found love in a hopeless place part 13
Chapter 13: Freddy Krueger as our witness.
Spencer and Max decided to watch a movie after his last seminar.
While he was in the university, she picked up Eloise and after lunch the two sisters were to the market.
"So, you invited him to your apartment?" Asked her as she put in the cart two packages of microwave popcorn.
"Yeah, I thought it was logical since I had been in his apartment a lot these past few weeks" said Max putting in the cart some cans of sodas "I know I promised to never let a man in my apartment but Spencer is different"
"Oh yeah. You are falling for him hard Max" said her sister with a smirk, getting a bag of potato chips.
"Do you think so?" She asked looking down blushing "I mean. I'm sure I like him a lot but I'm not sure how to call him. Today I asked my boss if he could give us a class about how to deal with shootings and how to plan out way out of the school. You know in case we ever need it. And I didn't know how to call him, I can't call him my boyfriend because he's not, but calling him just my friend feels like underestimating our relationship"
Eloise nodded watching her big sister "ask him straight forward about it. You were always so straight with everything you wanted. I still remember when you fought with mom and dad about your choice of work as a teacher after finishing university"
"I don't want to push him, we have an unspoken deal... Go slowly"
"You do or you feel like you should?" The younger Brenner woman asked looking at Max.
"What were you expecting? I feel like going slowly will protect me of making the same mistake twice. I'm impulsive and sometimes crazy"
"Yeah but you said it... He's different. Max if you feel like he's a good guy and you are falling for him then tell him. What's the worst thing he could say?... I'm not ready to be officially together" she said making a poor imitation of Spencer.
Max laughed and hugged her sister "you are right. Where did you get so wise?" She messed her hair as they continued taking snacks so he could pick whichever he wants.
"You know... Mr. Miyazaki and Kung Fu Panda" they laughed then payed and she left Eloise in their father's house.
Then Max drove to her apartment and got everything ready. She picked some classic movies on Netflix. She had a PlayStation so she had Netflix there.
She was nervous and she did not understand why. Maybe the fact that he will be there in fifteen minutes or the question she was going to ask him. Is he looking for a relationship or just want her as a friend? Does he feel the butterflies everytime they kiss? Is he falling for her as she is?
Fifteen minutes later she heard the knocking on her door. She walked to it and opened it.
There he was, handsome as always, he looked like the first seminar, his sleeves folded up, he loosened his tie a little and he was holding flowers.
"Hey handsome" was her greeting, as usual "come in"
He smiled and walked in "hey Max. Thank you for this invitation" he leans in to kiss her hand handed her the flowers "I bought them on my way here"
She smiled and blushed softly "they are beautiful. Make yourself at home while I put these in a flowerpot" he nodded and put his messenger bag on the table and looked around her apartment.
Her living room was exactly as he imagine. With paintings and colorful. She must have a room for her painting equipment or anything kind of art she prefer to do.
He sat down and looked the television. She was looking for horror movies. There were some of favorites. He loved The Exorcist, the original, even with some bad effects for the younger people. Back them they were amazing and he prefer those over the CGI that sometimes does not look real.
"Ok we are ready. I made popcorn and we have some snacks" she sat down next to him "it's Friday so we can watch more than one, you decide"
He smiled "I like that idea, which one first?"
"You pick one" he nodded and without hesitation he picked the Exorcist.
They turned off the lights and watched it. She loved horror but sometimes the most terrified parts made her hide her face against his chest.
He just hugged her tight or said a fact about it to make it less scary. Then they watched Nightmares on Elm Street.
They ordered dinner and continued with the marathon. When it arrived they took a pause to eat.
"I never did a back to back horror marathon. The only marathon I did was a Star Wars one before Rouge One last year" said her.
"Maybe I will invite Garcia to do it again this year for episode 8" said him excited.
"Could be fun, who is Garcia?"
"She's a co-worker. She loves Star Wars like me so it will be fun" she nodded.
"I could invite Eloise, she dressed up as Leia in the Force Awakens midnight premier"
"Really? I did it as Chewbacca" she looked at him for a few minutes and laughed.
"Yeah I can picture you as him" he smiled then analysed her words and raised an eyebrow.
"What do you m...?"
"Anyway, Spencer. Can I ask you something?"
"You just did" she raised an eyebrow and he laughed "yes you can"
She hit him softly then talked looking down with a little blush "are you looking for a... Um... Formal relationship?" She was redder than a tomato.
Spencer smiled thinking it was the cuties thing ever "Max" he said softly lifting her chin softly "yes I am looking for a formal relationship" he held her chin up softly "but... Um... I'm not the kind of man that is open about his feelings. And I haven't made a move because I thought you would prefer baby steps"
"R... really?" He nodded "I'm scared about be hurt again"
"And that's perfectly normal sweetie" she smiled at that "and I respect you and will wait until you make the move" she wrapped her arms around his neck, he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug "Maxine Brenner, to be honest and taking the risk of scared you out... I'm falling for you, more than I would thought"
"You won't scared me out because I feel the same" they kissed softly after confessing their feelings and she took the lead "will you be, officially, my boyfriend? Because I'm dying to introduce you as my boyfriend" her hazel eyes met his light brown ones.
"I would love to" he said and shared a new and more passionate kiss.
That night Spencer Reid and Maxine Brenner became official a couple with Freddy Krueger as their witness. And to make it more official, they ended in bed, making love for the first time together.
OOooOOooOO
Maybe the tittle is weird but until the last paragraph it had another tittle.
But I just found it perfect to describe this.
Hope you liked it.
