Chapter 210: His motivation

Cosette and Maxen played for a while until late in the night. They talked about how their weekends played out and anything they could broach; they would make out in between, of course. Their routine lasted until late in the night and Cosette fell asleep. 

She was exhausted, so even when she already had napped, she still fell asleep before him. Meanwhile, Maxen was slowly getting used to sleeping later and less because of school and work. He didn't mind, though. 

He kept her confined in his embrace, listening to how her breathing grow deeper. Maxen casually caressed her back, his hands underneath her shirt. When he was sure she was sleeping, he reluctantly slipped away from her. 

Maxen sat down on the side of the bed, hands on either side of him. He looked back at her and smiled subtly. One look at her and he would remember why he was working so hard for. 

'It's so nice to have her here,' he thought, pushing himself away from the bed.
