บท 299: 299-Throwing My Friend Under The Bus

Helanie:

"Maximus," I laughed, feeling him smell my neck while planting small kisses all over my skin.

"I can't get enough of you," he raised his face and said, his eyes locked on my lips.

"Hey!" he suddenly pulled away from me as if he remembered something. The next thing I know, he's taking something out of his pocket.

"I got you this," he held up a pink diamond, beautifully set in a gold chain.

"This is a rare kind," I asked, and he shrugged.

"You are a rare kind," he said quickly, moving behind me and shifting my hair to one side. I didn't want to accept such an expensive gift, so I placed my hand on his to stop him.

"What? You can accept gifts from Emmet but not me?" His comment hit hard. I turned to glare at him, and he quickly bit his tongue.

"Sorry! I thought it would land well, and you'd accept my gift," he said, looking down, trying to appear so sad that I couldn't help but feel touched.
