realize that we are apart

Outfit of the chapter
London Changes

Alex was looking at his phone when he saw a new picture of Max. Her hair was much shorter, only reaching her to her shoulders, and it was back to golden. Under the picture, on instagram of course, was the text:

The good, and the bad, about being a model is that you gotta accept the changes. This time they wanted me in a long page and with my old golden locks. But I think I like it.

Alex smiled and nodded. He liked it. He liked the golden color on her. It made her skin glow in a way people never noticed, and her eyes looked more golden as well and not as chocolate.
"Well I certainly like it" he wrote and commented under the picture. One thing he liked about her was that she was really impulsive. She did things immediately and didn’t give things a second thought. That was her charm.
"What are you smirking about?" Jack asked and sat down across the table from him. Alex smiled and showed him the picture of Max.
"Is that Max?" Jack said and looked impressed.
"They changed her hair for work, apparently she had a new photoshoot in London" he said.
"She’s in London?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, she went there with Ed and Tigerlily, to get away from Bri and to see London again" he smiled.
"Your black eyes is really dark now, but from now on it will only go down" Jack said.
"The look on fans faces on yesterdays show when I walked out with it" Alex said and laughed.
"It was priceless" Jack laughed.

Max pulled fingers through her hair and enjoyed the feeling of having smooth hair. It felt nice and even Tigerlily seemed to like playing with it. She gently stroked it and clapped her hands, smiling wide and laughing when Max shook the hair in front of her. Ed laughed and filmed it, and sent it over to Alex and Alex freaked out about the video. He loved Tigerlily’s laugh and everything she did.
"So Blossom, shall we go out and see if we can find new clothes for you?" Max asked and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Tigerlily kissed her back and clapped her hands, and let out a small giggle.

Ed had Tigerlily on his shoulders, and Tigerlily was holding his ears and hair to hold herself up. Even if she only was about 6 months she was big and strong. But soon Ed took her down and held her normally in his arms, making her sit on his arm while she looked around with big eyes. She reacted very much to the accents and thought it sounded funny.

Max held up three dresses and Tigerlily looked at them.
"Blossom, which ones do you like?" she asked. She smiled at them all and Ed laughed.
"I guess we have to take them all" he said.
"I guess we have" Max smiled. Max packed them down in her basket and turned to tights and leggings, and picked out a few of them as well, and then bodysuits for the little monster. It was really fun to see Tigerlily’s reactions to everything and she clapped her hands at Ed’s comments about all the colors. then out of nowhere Max heard a familiar voice.
"Max? Is that you?" Bella asked and Max turned around and saw Bella. Bella had gained tons of weight and was twice as big as the last time they had met. In her arms she held a boy that was pretty much a copy of Max and her brother when they were small. Ed looked at her as well.
"Bella?" he whispered, only so Max could hear and Max nodded. Bella looked at Tigerlily and then at Ed.
"So it’s true you and Alex broke up?" she asked.
"Excuse me? What?" Max snapped.
"You and Alex… A lot of people are saying that you and him broke up, when yo got pregnant with your friend… Ed" she said and looked at Ed.
"I’m her bodyguard, I’m more interested in men than I am in Max, not that Max is hot… She is, she’s really hot, but… No. This is Alex kid" Ed said.
"Oh" Bella said and swallowed. Max glared at her and then turned her back to her and continued to look at leggings.
"This is Mason, your brother" Bella said.
"No offense Bella, but that is not my brother" Max said and turned to Bella again. Then George appeared and he held up some clothes for Bella.
"This, or this?" he asked.
"Let me guess… George?" Ed whispered and Max nodded again. George followed Bella’s eyes and they landed on Max.
"Maxine?" he asked, a bit surprised.
"Come Ed, we’re done here" she said.
"No you’re not" George said and grabbed her wrist. In a matter of milliseconds Ed took a grip of George wrist and gripped it tight, causing George to frown and hiss in pain.
"Sir, do not touch her" Ed said. George looked at Ed and looked angry.
"And who might you be?" he asked.
"My name is Ed, I’m her bodyguard. Against people like you" he said.
"Like me?" George said.
"Against people like the both of you, if you now excuse us we have to go" Ed said and his voice was harsh. Tigerlily made confused sounds and Ed looked at her and smiled.
"Come on Blossom, let’s go with mommy and pay for your new clothes" Ed said.
"Wait… You have a daughter?" George asked and stared at Tigerlily.
"Yes I have" Max said and looked at him.
"What’s her name?" George asked.
"Her name is Tigerlily" Max said and then they walked away from them.
