What You Do To Me

Chapter 16: Maxwell's POV

"Thank you for making dinner." Casey says from his front porch. I wrap my arms around him and look up.

"Thank you for having us. And buying dessert." I say and he smiles. I stand on my toes and kiss him lightly on the lips. He smiles and kisses back.

I hear Iris go "awwww" and hear Brooke mime vomiting and I turn to look at them.

"Go wait in the car." I order and scowl, but they don't move. "Now!"

Iris giggles and loops her finger through Brooke's before pulling her away to the car.

"Fine but I'm driving!" Brooke threatens with a scowl before walking away.

I roll my eyes.

"I have to go before she actually drives off and crashes my Aurora." I say and Casey laughs.

"Bye luv." He says, planting a light kiss on my head.

I smile one last time before walking down the path to his driveway. I wave back at him one more time before climbing into my car.

"Y'all are cute." Brooke states and I roll my eyes.

"Iris why would you let her sit in the front seat?" I ask and Brooke lightly slaps my arm.

I laugh and put the car into reverse. I pull my phone out of my pocket and set in the cup holder. I slowly back out of the driveway and wave at Casey before putting the car in drive and drive away.

I was driving for maybe 10 minutes, and we were almost back to our apartment,when my phone got a notification.

"Brooke read that to me?" I ask and Brooke nods. She grabs my phone and opens it. She reads the message and her face goes pale. I glance at her.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask, slightly panicked.

"Are you cheating on Casey?" She asks, her voice filled with suspicion and slight disgust.

"What??" Iris demands.

"What?" I ask.

"Our date is set for Thursday at 12."

Brooke says, reading off the message.

"Who's it from?" I ask and honk really loudly at someone who cut me off. "Asshole." I mumble to myself.

"It doesn't say. You don't have the number saved." Brooke says and Iris scowls at me.

"What's going on??" She demands.

My phone goes off again before I can answer.

"Oh, this is Adrian B-T-W."

Brooke reads off.

"Who the fuck is Adrian??" Iris hisses, scowling at me.

"Oh, he's my boss." I say and flip the asshole off as I drive past him. He sneers at me and I roll my eyes.

"So then why are you dating him?" Brooke questions. "You and Casey seem pretty much well... together."

"We are. It's a business meeting. He wants me to try that new restaurant that just opened with him." I say and turn into our development.

Our apartment building in sight, Brooke turns to me. "So, it's a date." She says.

"NO!" I exclaim, parking the car in our spot. I turn it off and look at them. "I'm with Casey. We're going on our first date on Friday. Adrian just wants to go try the new restaurant. I promise I'll shut him down if he tries to do more."
