“damn it. there is a shortage of princes eligible to marry me, so I was really hoping this best friend thing could pull through for me.” lena smirked and shook her head. “well sure, but emir is an art dealer–do those count as royalty too? because i’m definitely down to become an art dealer to get the perks of royalty.” she paused for a moment to think. “well, children are always positive. they’re also better when they aren’t eating paste. your kids aren’t doing that, are they?” a grin reappeared on her lips. “ah, you’re the best.” as she took another sip of her drink, she nearly spit it back out again. “twins? one of us? oh dear god, i pity the poor fool who has to deal with either of us having twins.” she closed her eyes as if she was praying. “if they was twins, holy shit. but you’re right–its really exciting to think about a little one running around.” lena nodded. “well, i mean, i know shes been having morning sickness so that might be the case–but i definitely think this is hitting both parents harder than me–probably because I’m not becoming a parent.”
he chuckled shaking his head, “well fuck... i think we’ve definitely run out of options there.” he teased before he raised a brow, “he’s ana’s cousin? so i’m thinking theres some royality there..” he said though he didn’t want to say much because he knew not everyone truly knew emir was prince joseph. “they aren’t eating paste i promise.” he laughed but soon gave a nod, “they are positive its incredible how positive some of those kids are.” he shook his head a bit before laughing at her reaction, “yeah.. i mean at least one of you is bound to either have a set of twins if you have kids or you’re kids would have the twins.” he nodded, “i can’t be that bad can it?” he questioned making a face, “but she still looks good.. even for having morning sickness but i’m sure youre right. I’d be surprised if you were getting hit just as hard.. actually i take it back i wouldn’t its your best friend and your brother i’d understand if it was hitting you hard as well.”
anastasia-bennettjames:
“blue. the answer is always blue.” she replied, smirking just a bit. that was the thing about maxwell andrews–she could start the interaction off with hyperventilating and panic and end it with a smile and laughter. he was special that way–in a way a lot of people just didn’t understand. he had a kind heart and genuine soul, and it was impossible to say upset when you were around him. even if he did some things that might have been less than idea. instinctually and without thinking, ana brought her hand to his face to cup his cheek. “hey–we all make mistakes, it happens. its going to be fine.” she said softly and nodded, before removing her hand and placing it on her chest in aghast–playfully of course. “power rangers and sports? c’est dommage! well, y’know what they say–it’s never too late to start your education.” she chuckled, and nodded. out of the corner of her eye she see him biting his lip–one of the things that made her heart beat faster than she wanted it too. damn it. “im proud of you, so so proud.” one definitive nod. her cheeks stayed red as he laughed but she was glad he was smiling. she hated to think she worried him–or anyone. “yeah well, its like sleeping on a cloud–much better than couches. and you deserve a nice bed. it’s part of happiness, y’know?” she laughed. her heart dropped for a minute as he moved–she hadn’t realized he’d need to in order for her to pick up the pillows. but perhaps it was best, if she had sat so close to him any longer she might have…oh, who knows? she was a weird mood recently, very impulsive indeed. “well, thank you. not that i think cleaning up glass would’ve hurt me, i don’t know if cleaning up glass while hysterical was my best thought.” she smiled softly, as she hopped off the counter and moved toward the living room. taking stock, her heart dropped. she really had made a mess. “god, i’m such a disaster.” She said under her breathe as she bent down to pick up the pillows.
“you can’t color all the numbers blue, ana.” he laughed happy that the girl was joking back with him that she seemed a bit better right now than what she had been just a few moments ago. looking down at the girl he gave a small nod, “yeah.. it’ll be okay.” he said softly biting his lip before letting out a laugh, “ana.... it’s all all the boys did at the foster home it was the only time they could get us to sit down.” he said with a shake of his head, “but you know i’m always down to start the learning thing.” he said looking down at her smiling a bit, “thank you..” he said quietly a slight shake of his head. he nodded soon after at her words, “i’ll eventually sleep in the bed again lets be real.” he said as he brought his hand up to scratch the back of his neck when he took a step back the lost of warmth very adamant and he already missed it... not that he should. “you never know.. you could have cut yourself and i’d be headed back to the hospital with you.” he said watching as she moved biting his lip again before he shook his head, “it’s fine.. it’s just pillows.. you’re not a disaster.”
tannerxvalentine:
smirking at him he let out a small wink as he munched on the fries he took. “thanks then i guess. it’s my sisters best friend, so you can imagine lena’s reaction…i told my mom last night. im still deaf from all the screaming she did at me over the phone. excitement and telling me i was fucking stupid.”
max shook his head to get on track with what the male with actually saying, “wait.. you slept with lena’s best friend? like isn’t their a girl code or something that has a rule for that? mate.. that’s all really crazy but like at least she’s like a cool mom who’s slightly excited i mean my foster mom would probably just full on kill me.”
lmagdalena-valentine:
“marry her? i mean sure, if that’s what you’re into or whatever. but the more time you spend with someone, the more likely people think you’re royal, right? maybe i should get a royal best friend–i’m sure career day would be a hit if that was the case.” She raised her eyebrow at his smile but decided to continue anyway. “of course I am. it’s what good friends do. or twin sister of fellow residents at work do. whatever floats your boat. really good? why? what makes you so chipper?” lena smirked and took another sip. “well, let me know if you do–i’ll buy you a drink. but dang, that’s the way to spend the chunk of change.” She sighed over-dramatically. “oh well, that part i’m not worried about–just the cheating gene. it’s not hereditary right?” she teased lightly and then grinned. “i am, i am.–and sure, you can say it. I didn’t do any of the work to make it happen but I don’t mind being congratulated.” lena laughed.
max made a face before tilting his head, “i don’t know if that’s how it works, i think marrying in royal is how everyone believes your royal.” he laughed lightly, “aren’t you like the other part of alessandra? and she’s like emir’s legit other half can’t you just all three hang out and tada boom royalty?” he said shaking his head a bit as he continued to push the thoughts that had been running through his head. smiling he just shrugged, “i just decided to not think about the negative things in life you know focus more on the positive things like helping the children.” he smiled nodding his head, “i’ll make sure you know don’t worry.” he laughed shaking his head, “it’s not no but its more likely one of you are going to have twins so like.” he said shrugging, “okay yeah work or no work in the making of the baby it’s still exciting. i need at least one person to be like really excited about this because i mean every time i see alessandra its just her passing by to see emir when i’m with ana and she always looks sick so like..”
anastasia-bennettjames:
“being a kid sounds great, y’know? even when you screw things up its endearing.” she grinned and nodded slightly, before her brows furrowed again. she had to admit, he hadn’t done the best thing–and while she maybe didn’t have the warmest feelings for charlotte, she could see how she might have been hurt by his actions. however, it didn’t mean she was going to berate him over them–he seemed to understand the consequences of his actions. “well, sometimes…sometimes there’s only one way to find out if you still have feelings for someone. i mean, isn’t that how all the old spells in princess stories ended? A kiss broke the curse and they lived happily ever after? A kiss is a powerful thing.” She replied, her eyes darting down for a just a second. At his last statement, Ana felt the air rush out of her lungs for a moment. A spark, yeah, something like that. She brought her blue eyes back up to his and nodded. “I would hope so. I mean, you wouldn’t want to spend your life with someone who you don’t like, uh, kissing.” She said, rather ineloquently, thanks to her mind being distracted…by thoughts of things she couldn’t help but think. “Y’know, Max. A few weeks ago I didn’t think you’d say that, so I’m really happy for you. Truly. You deserve it.” She smiled, it growing wider as he said that he’d stay. “Yeah, well–I wouldn’t want you to walk all the way home in the dark either. And besides, we all know my house has a better bed.” She teased, before turning slighlty red realizing how that sounded. “oh i–jesus, one emotional breakdown and talking flies out the window.” she sighed, though a small smile appeared as she felt him kiss her forehead. it felt nice to know someone needed her–even though she knew Alice did, it was reinforcement to know she mattered. Even if it was just to two people. She could work with that. “Here–I should probably pick up the pillows. Thank you for getting the glass.”
“it really does, and the biggest worry was what crayon color you wanted to use for color by numbers.” he laughed lightly before he nodded his head as silence seemed to over come them, he really did feel bad for how he handled things but in the moment she didn’t know what else to do. furrowing his brows a bit he shook his head only slightly, “hate to break it to you babe, but i was more of a power rangers and watching sports kind of boy growing up, but i get what you’re saying.” he nodded a bit looking down at the girl raising a brow as she suddenly looked down only slightly confused but he bit his lip trying not to focus on his own thoughts at the moment as they talked about sparks from a kiss he couldn’t think about that right now, right? “it would slightly suck to be with someone like that.” he joked a bit before smiling softly, “thanks, i didn’t i’d ever say it honestly but i’m glad i can say it.” he smiled as he spoke he nodded before he let out a loud laugh his head falling back as he did so at her words, “the best thing that has been said all night, but yes you have a better bed seeing as i’ve mainly slept on the couch so.” he said through his laughs. after he had calmed down he looked down at the girl for a second realizing they were still in close proximity and that he was the main reason she was still sitting on the counter. taking a step bad he nodded, “right yeah.. no of course i didn’t want you to get hurt.” he said running a hand through his hair.
magdalena-valentine:
“what, you have to be born with some sort of special blood for people to care about you? plus, i definitely read something that said you were close with someone royal, so like, you’re royal by proxy right? isn’t that how that works?” She laughed and shook her head, taking a sip of her soda. “no no, i already ate, i’m good. just making your life harder, one fryless moment at a time.” she winked and nodded. “of course, my liege, of course. speaking of saving lives, how are you doing dr. superhero? found the cure for cancer yet? or annoying twin brothers who think cheating at put put is how life works?”
he shook his head, “no no.. and i’m best friends with ana, but i don’t think it works that way unless like i marry her or something like that.” he smiled softly at his own words before he shook his head a bit at the thought. “you already ate yet you’re still eating my fries?” he laughed shaking his head again, “i’m good, really good actually, i have yet to discover that cute still working on it, if i do i’ll be able to pay off almost friend of mines student loans as for the twin brother thing i’m afraid you’re stuck with tanner for the rest of your life. but hey i just heard you’re going to be an aunt, so congrats on that. if it’s okay to say that?”
anastasia-bennettjames:
ana pursed her lips, not fully believing it but letting it slide. she knew there was probably no changing his mind–but she couldn’t believe the universe was so nice to just give her the world’s best best friend. “but kids say anything and its adorable. one of them called me a queen once and while her mom quickly apologized for the wrong title, it was still adorable. not that i’d wanna be queen ever–i’d make a terrible one. but that little girl thinking i was queen was pretty cute.” she giggled again, feeling better but still worried she’d slip. her smile fell slightly. “what do you mean you were a dick about it? but wait–you felt nothing? how did that happen?” it was safe to say ana was in shock; the blonde knew that over the past months, her best friend had struggled over the loss of the woman he was going to marry. he obviously loved her dearly and she knew how how hard he’d taken it. so it was incredibly surprising to hear that all those feelings had just…left. if she was being honest, it made her proud for him. she had always wanted him to choose his happiness over anyone elses and she could start to see glimmers of that. “well, you seem confident in your choice, and that makes me happy max. you deserve happiness, and i have no doubt you’ll find it–whether its with a girl or work or something else entirely!” if he had promised her happiness was his goal, her goal was the same for him. she hated seeing him upset. “i can’t exactly deny that one. you two are quite different. also, i don’t think it’ll be so easy for me to sneak out anymore, so we might have to do things the proper way.” she sighed heavily. she hated having a security detail; it made her feel like a damn weirdo all the time. a lump got caught in her throat and before she had thought it through, she began to speak. “will you spend the night please. i–i feel better now but i’m…i’m worried it’ll all go away when i try to sleep.” her mind flying back to the nightmares that haunted her at night. “i’m not going anywhere, dr. andrews. not going anywhere.”
max smiled softly nodding a bit before he he let out a light laugh, “you’re not wrong, they all say the best things ever like they could call me the wrong name and i’d be completely okay with it, because they are so cute.” he smiled softly before his smile fell just slightly, “i may have kissed her then told her i didn’t want to be with her anymore. that... that kiss made me realize i was just done feeling so bad about it all... she left because she found the ring she didn’t tell me she found the ring when she said it was over she didn’t give an excuse she just said she was done.. i can’t feel like ive felt for the past seven or so months.” he shook his head a bit before clearing his throat, “i know it was a terrible way to go about it but i really didn’t feel anything.. you’re supposed to feel some sort of spark right with the person you thought you’d spend the rest of your life with right?” he questioned before nodding a bit a soft smile on his face, “i’ll find that happiness soon, i’ll be good.” he said before lightly laughing, “it’s okay if we can’t do the sneaking around thing, we still have those memories. maybe keep it on the safe side for just a bit.” he said softly looking down at her nodding as his brows furrowed, “yeah of course i will, i’ll be here for you any time, plus it beats having to head back to the house i’ve been avoiding for the past seven months.” he smiled before pressing a kiss to her forehead, “good because i need my princess ana.”
magdalena-valentine:
“Hey!” Lena laughed and withdrew her hand quickly. “Don’t swat my hand away, excuse me. I’m just poising checking your food, god Max. I’m saving your life. You should be thanking me, really.” She winked as she took a fry.
max let out a laugh, “lena, i’m not royalty you know that right? like you don’t have to poison test my food. and i asked you if you wanted me to grab you something!” he laughed shaking his again, “but thank you for making sure i don’t die.”
tannerxvalentine:
“yes!” he said playfully rolling his eyes but with a smile on his face. reaching out he took exactly one fry…okay maybe two. “say whatever the fuck you want to say. im still trying to process all this shit.”
max shook his head waiting till tanner had taken the amount of fries he wanted letting out a soft sigh, “well for one congrats, and two i mean no actual person could process it in the however long you’ve known.. i mean i know i would be in the same spot you’re in..”
tannerxvalentine:
“oh fuck no,” tanner said reaching again to try to steal a fry. one single fry. “i just got off work twelve hours and have to deal with a pregnant girl at home. i deserve one fucking fry, maxwell.”
“tanner! mate no.” he playfully wined before pushing over the food toward him, “damn okay you deserve one fry. am i allowed to say congrats to you or like should i just say a thing to you about the pregnant girl?”
“no mate come on!” he laughed as he slapped the other’s hand away lightly from his food he was clearly trying to enjoy until the other had decided to take a small bit from him food, “i just finished a ten hour shift i need this, all of it! get you’re own.” he smiled still teasing just a bit as he shook his head.
fckcharlottepackham:
Charlotte looking at him with eyes like a deer in the headlights, confusion battling through her brain with ripping sadness. It was like someone had run a jagged bread knife through the very tissue of her heart, unable to breath for a second as he carried on talking, carried on ripping her limb from limb without even realizing it. “You kissed me, but you don’t want to be with me? You….you just kissed me three seconds ago but you want me to leave because you can’t handle us being together? So…I don’t understand. Why did you kiss me if you can’t handle it, was it payback, you’re tying to pay me back for the pain or something. Make me feel the pain I made you feel?” Her voice was horse, eyes filled with hot tears, a mix of humiliation, crushing disappointment, a slight hint of anger both towards herself and towards him. “Well it works.” She blinked, a couple of tears rolling down her cheeks. “Yeah, it worked.”
he gave a nod, “i did and i get it it makes me look like a dick.” he said before clearing his throat and pursing his lips for a moment, “but i didn’t feel anything anymore.. i don’t feel anything anymore that’s all this is now. if i felt something we wouldn’t be fucking talking right now. i needed to make sure i didn’t feel anything” he said closing his eyes and letting out a breath shaking his head before now running his hands over his face, “oh for fucks sake .. charlotte i didn’t do it to make you feel what you made me feel if i wanted to do that i would have just ignored you the first time i saw you since the break up. are you actually listening to yourself right now?” he groaned before shaking his head again, “ i didn’t feel anything for you anymore and i’m not going to keep doing the whole back and forth thing with you i don’t want to anymore. i want to move on i want to be happy and be with someone that can help me do those things and that person isn’t you anymore because i really don’t fucking feel anything for you!” he shook his head.
anastasia-bennettjames:
she looked back up at him, a quiet smile spreading on her lips. “y’know, i’ll never know what i did to deserve a best friend like you, max.” she replied softly, resting her head again on his shoulder as he spoke. “ah, yes, that makes sense. do you have a preference on which is your favorite?” ana asked, in an attempt to move the conversation from her, at least a little. she was feeling better, thanks to his help, and didn’t want to dwell on her mess for longer than necessary. her heart flipped when he mentioned the kiss again. “oh no–whatever will you do? maybe there’s some medical procedure to get rid of them?” She laughed a little, shoving him lightly in the process. ana felt her eyebrows furrowed before they smoothed out, “you spoke with charlotte–how did that go?” ana knew he had mentioned he was going to talk with her, but she had been a terrible friend to see how it went. judging by the sound of it though, he wasn’t getting back with her. she knew how much he loved her, and she was kicking herself for not asking earlier. for a moment–a brief moment–her heart stopped. right under her nose? she though that maybe, just maybe…but quickly shook it out of her head. this wasn’t the time, and she needed to let it go, truly. he needed her, his best friend not some other girl who throws herself at his feet. not that shes do that, though. regardless, she nodded. “sometimes i think you and alice are the only two people in the world who think that.” she sighed and nodded. “of course they wouldn’t want you to have been sad. they wanted you to have a full, incredible life. you’re amazing, max. and they’d be so proud of you. and if you had been in that house–i’d never met you. and i’d be a hell of a lot more lost than i already am. you’re like my rock, i need you in my life.”
he shook his head softly, “you didn’t have to do anything, love.” he said softly before he shook his head again, “i don’t mind either honestly they’re both cute when the kids say it. literally the best thing ever.” he said with a shrug a small smile on his lips before he laughed lightly, “i’ll have to ask the kids, i don’t think there’s much i can do now i’ve gotten your cooties!” he teased shaking his head. letting out a sigh he shrugged, “i told her i don’t want to get back together with her... i may have been a dick about it but i literally felt nothing when she was sitting in front of me.. like everything i used to feel was gone like i felt nothing.” he shook his head wrapping his arms around her again as he spoke softly, using her as an anchor for him. he smiled softly, “that’s because alice and i are the best.” he joked with her but nodded, “your brother would want the same thing for you. and i can say the same thing about you, you’re amazing ana truly and utterly amazing, i need you in my life as well always.”
anastasia-bennettjames:
“forever is a very long time, max.” ana whispered, a small, sad smile appearing on her lips. she wasn’t trying to push him away–on the contrary, ana wanted nothing more than him to stay with her until the ends of the earth. she knew she’d do the same for him–but how could she ask that of someone when her life was such a mess, even on a good day? “hmmm, i forgot that your kiddos call you dr. max. its cute, but i still prefer dr. andrews.” she chuckled and nodded. “well, i probably do have cooties. little boys are smarter than we give them credit for. they’ll probably be very concerned for your well being.” tucking a piece of hair behind her ear she nodded once. “it’d be fun–we can make a day out of it. because if you don’t help me i will turn your apartment into a farmhouse. like the ones off ‘fixer upper’. and i don’t know if that really screams bachelor pad.” ana let out a laugh, but she felt her stomach tighten at those words. she really needed to let this go–it’s been years, and she still didn’t know if he was going to go back to charlotte again. “what if that person doesn’t exist though?” she sighed, and ran her hand through her hair. “i’m glad some good came of this disaster. plus, its better for your health anyway. and the environment.” biting her lip, she felt another set of tears spring to her eyes as he spoke. it was one of those things about max–how good of a person he was, how authentically he cared about the people in his life…his words sat with her in ways that others didn’t. “do you really think that all of this will get better one day? that it won’t hurt so much anymore?”
he nodded, “it is but i’m prepared for forever.” he said softly giving her a serious look so she knew he wasn’t lying. he could see her being in his life forever and he wouldn’t want it any other way. he smiled softly shaking his head, “it goes back and forth between dr. max and dr. andrews it all depends on the age and the parents.” he laughed shaking his head, “well i guess i’m going to have cooties now too since i just kissed you and all, what are they going to say?” he gasped his eyes going wide in a playful manner before he shook his head. “we can so make a day out of it and it’s not a bachelor pad it’s a place i live or just kind of pay for i’m elsewhere more than i am there.” he shook his head, “i realized after i talked to charlotte, i really need to get rid of things, have a fresh start get rid of the things that reminded me of her.” he said looking down for a moment before shaking his head. he looked up at her “they’re out there, they could be right under your nose too. because you deserve the happiness ana.” he said softly. nodding he paused for a second before speaking, “i do.. you know when my parents died i was the exact same way, i thought it should have been me that i should have been the one home when the fire broke out but now.. now it’s easier to think about, because i realize they wouldn’t want me to be sad. they’d want me to live my life to the fullest.”
mcralcode:
“Hello, dear,” Elizabeth began, announcing her presence to the other person with a smile and a chaste kiss on their cheek. She looped her arm around theirs, continuing on in the direction they had been heading. Eyes both apologetic and asking for support, Beth dared a glance towards a man some feet away. He had slowed down in his tracks now that the two were involved. A hint as to why she had suddenly become this individual’s false partner. “I didn’t realize you’d be here?”
coming from a lecture max always felt as though he needed to take a break, take the long way home rather than try to rush, it helped him clear his mind think about just about everything going on in his life without be surrounded by anyone. well that was until he heard the voice, looking down at elizabeth he noticed something off but decided to just play along, “oh, i thought i texted you that i was going to be here later, but decided to just stop by now.” he smiled, “it’s not a bad time right?”
ryanxstephens:
“What – no, nothing. It’s just that when you said you were good at pool I actually took your word for it. But it’s okay, we can’t all be good at everything right?” Ryan teased somewhat playfully, his attempts to suppress the laughter that built in his throat failing miserably.
“oh fuck off.. i had a shift at the hospital today i’m like half asleep here.” he laughed shaking his head at the male’s failed attempts of hiding a laugh, “if i was fully awake i would so be kicking your ass right now but i’m off my game tonight.”
