92 Max treats her well (1/2)

~ Elizabeth's apartment ~

Monday, 6:30 AM

Two alarms beeped at the same time, waking up Max and Liz. Both of them reached to the side to turn them off and then scooted back to the middle of the bed which still held their warmth.

Liz yawned and snuggled next to Max, the best bolster pillow ever.

He gently caressed her cheek with tips of his fingers, making her lip twitch. Max thought that he never saw a woman so beautiful in his life. Liz is amazing in every way possible.

He kissed her forehead, her eyelids, each of her cheeks and used all his willpower not to plant the next kiss on her lips.

'Take it slow, Max… Don't spook her away…', he told himself.

”You will be late if you sleep off again.”, Max warned her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Liz made a grumpy face before moaning in protest. Few seconds later, her eyes sprang open when she realized that the thing she is boldly hugging and sticking to is not a bolster pillow and even though they are dating, she should not be so forward. Ah, this is embarrassing!

And all those things over her face… was he kissing her?

Max noticed her discomfort and chuckled. ”Good morning.”

She cleared her throat and peeled herself away from him. ”Good morning.”

”What do you usually have for breakfast on weekdays?”, Max asked. He already planned to go and get food while she is getting ready for work.

Liz thought for a second before responding: ”It's too early for food. Coffee, at most.”

”Go and get ready first.”, Max gestured toward the bathroom.

Liz nodded and was half up when she hesitated. She leaned closer and kissed him on the cheek before bashfully avoiding his gaze and going to the bathroom.

Max looked after her and smiled. Yup, he is making a great progress.

…

Elizabeth got out of the bathroom, dressed up for work and followed the scent of freshly made coffee which seeped into the bedroom through the half-open door.

And there was Max, greeting her with a charming smile and two cups of coffee.

”Don't you need to get ready?”, Liz asked when she noticed that Max sat with her to drink coffee and he is still in t-shirt and sweatpants in which he slept.

Max paused. ”Do you want me to drop you off at work?”

”No, no… I was thinking that you should get ready for your work.”

”I have time. I can drop you off and pick you up when you are done, if you wish.” He didn't think about this as a possibility, but he is not opposed to it. He can drop her off, and still have time to come back and get ready for his work. And he can pick her up after work as well.

Liz stumbled when she realized that her question made him think how she expects him to drive her around… and he is OK with that. Ah, he really treats her well. ”No need. I will see you after work. Thanks for the coffee.”

They sipped coffee while chatting about the day ahead.

Liz told him that on Mondays she sees patients in her office, and that is not very exciting.

”How about your day?”, Liz asked.

”I will be probably facing a lot of confused people for showing up on time and actually doing some work. Other than my father, Hunter and maybe my secretary, no one will dare to say anything in front of me openly, but I expect that I will be like an attraction of some sort until people get used to my presence.” He said with a chuckle.

He looked at her seriously. ”Liz, let me know if that doctor bullies you. You don't need to face him alone.”

Liz was touched. She knows that he is talking about Dr. Snow. ”I believe that he got the message on Saturday. But even if he didn't, it's work. He will not risk jeopardizing his reputation by making a scene. Don't worry.”
