Max came down with Taylor and I came with Eliza five minutes after them but just to show us that he has been waiting for them and we took a lot of time, Taylor said, " Finally. It has been ages we have been waiting for you."
Eliza said, " I think I saw you guys coming down just five minutes before and you are saying that we took ages to get ready. If it was any other day, I would have taught you a good lesson but today I am not in the mood, so you are forgiven." Max looked quite different. I don't know why but Max looked cool. Eliza whispered to me, " Doesn't Max feels different? "
I replied, " Yes. But why? He is dressed as usual then what is different about him? "
Eliza said, " Taylor, did you help Max in dressing up? He looks different. "
Taylor replied, "
Taylor said, " Yes. Did you guys notice? I put gel on Max's hair and also put on deo on him too. He is looking cool, right? "
I said, " Yes, he is looking nice, right Eliza. "
But this stupid girl just stared at Max like a creep.
Max mistook Eliza's reaction and said, " Am I looking that bad that Eliza is not able to say anything? I told you Taylor, I am not used to wearing deo and gel and they don't look good on me either. "
I said, " No Max, you are looking cool. You are looking so good that Eliza is not able to take eyes off you. You should wear deo often. You are looking good, right Eliza. "
That stupid person still did not say anything and was still staring Max. I pinched her to get her back to the reality. On realizing everything, she said, " Max you are looking great. I am not used to seeing you in get that I was surprised by your handsomeness." She then realized what she said and started laughing awkwardly.
Taylor said, " Max was always handsome. It was just that he never dressed up. From now on, dressing Max is my responsiblity. I have already planned what we all will do today. First we will go for gaming, then movies, then dinner.... "
Eliza said, " What about club?"
Max said, " I have never gone to a club and neither do I drink."
We all stared at Max then I said, " Max, club is not a place where you drink only. People dance, party, enjoy and relieve their stress there. We will go to club after dinner. Just to show Max how much fun is in there."
We reached Cyber Cafe and Max was already dreading to go inside. Taylor pulled him.Eliza and I decided to go shopping in the meantime went to all kinds of stores. Max and Taylor decided to play some games. Whenever Eliza goes for shopping, its like she buys the entire mall .
Max was hesistant, going in the cyber. Taylor said, " Why are you dreading so much? " He then said jokingly, " Is it your first visit here? " Max said nothing, just put his head down. Taylor said surprisingly, " What? It is. What have you been doing with 18 years of your life? Even if you are a werewolf, how can a guy live without gaming? "
Max replied, " I used to go to cyber cale a lot when my father was alive. After his death, I never visited any place where I went with my parents. All the clothes I wear are of my father."
Taylor hugged Max and said, " I am sorry, Max I didn't know that. You must have loved your parents very much and missed them a lot. "
Max said, " It's alright. It has already been a lot of years since their death."
Taylor said, " I.... I..... Oh I don't know what to say in such a situation. What do I say? "
Max said, " Don't say anything. It really is alright."Taylor then pulled Max on a seat and started playing. After sometime Eliza called us and said, " Come to the mall. We need your help." Taylor replied ok and then said to Max, " Eliza is calling her servants now. She is saying she needs our help but I know she wants us to carry her and Laura's bags. Let's go. "
Max laughed and said, " If you hate shopping this much then why do you come everytime."
He said, " It makes Eliza happy and also, Eliza will kill me if I will not come. Now let's go."
When they reached Eliza said, " I have chosen some suits and dailyware for Max. Here Max, try then on and we will judge together." Taylor said, " Ok., I am in ". Eliza and I were surprised that he readily agreed but he said, " If it is for Max, I am in. " Eliza and I exchanged glances. When Max went in the trial room, Eliza whispered in Taylor's ears, ' What was that? ' Taylor then told us about his talk with Max.
After talking, Eliza said, " Max is quite admirable. He is always as strong as a leader even though he is hiding all her scars.
I said, " Yes, I feel sorry for him. He has never enjoyed his life, not even once. I want to teach him how to enjoy her life."
"Yes.lets do something for her. But what? ", Taylor said.
I said, " Let me think... "
But before I could think,Max came out of the trial room. He looked very nice. Eliza said, " You are looking nice." We agreed and then Eliza sent him to try all the other dresses. He looked fabulous in each and every one.
We decided to buy all the dresses that Max tried. Max refused but Eliza said, " Don't worry. My father can afford all this easily. "
Taylor said, " Eliza does not look like that but her father is a very rich buisnessman. "
Eliza stared at Taylor with deadly eyes and said, "What do you mean? "
Taylor realized what dangerous words he said and then pleaded, " I.... Uh.... I..... Oh.... I mean that your father is very good and you are not a spoiled brat even though you have a lot of money." I was trying my best to control my laugh but I couldn't. I burst laughing and on seeing me Max also started laughing. Taylor trying to save himself started fake laughter and Eliza miraculously did not hit Taylor but started laughing.
After this Max loosened up a bit. We then went for movies and dinner. Max started enjoying himself. We then went to club and Taylor and Eliza immediately started a dance battle. I went to have a drink with Max. After a drink Eliza and Taylor pulled us to dance. We danced for a while and for the first time, I saw a genuine smile on Max's face. He was enjoying himself a lot now.
I got tired and went to take a seat and a drink. After sometime, Max also came and drank a few shots. After a while, he was tipsy. I asked him, " Are you having fun? "
He replied, " I am. "
"Did you now realize how much fun you have been missing in your life? "
"I know but I am not destined to enjoy my life. I have a lot of responsiblity to take care of that I don't have time for fun."
I asked surprisingly, " So you have been missing everything just because of your resposibility? "
"Yes"
"Do you want to talk about it? "
"There is no need, Laura. I am alright. "
I said, " I am your friend and I want to get to know you. Please. "
He said, " My parents were killed when I was five years old and I was their only child. My grandfather is the Alpha of our pack and being the only heir of the Alpha, I have a lot to prove. Also I need to find my mate to take over the pack and protect them. It is a lot of respnsibility. An Alpha is not complete without his Luna but I am still not able to find my mate. I also have a cousin brother. He is son of my aunt but I don't want him to take over. All the time I have to prove myself and give a lot of tests to eveyone that I can protect my pack. I also want to take revenge for my parents. I have never once enjoyed my life. Today also, because you all forced me, I joined you but this is all like a dream to me which will end the moment I wake up. But, to be honest, Laura, I don't want to wake up. I also want to enjoy myself but I can't and I know that. I never even had time to mourn my parents' death... "
I looked at him with tears in my eyes. He was hiding his emotions and sadness by exerting himself. He looked at me and said, " Hey, don't look at me with those pityful eyes."
I wanted to ask him how his parents died but he passed out in my arms after warning me not to pity him.
