Maxine Pajamas

The driver dropped them off by a really nice house and Max just stared before her. Alex took out their suitcases and said goodbye to the others, and then he walked up and stood next to Max.
"Welcome home… I guess" he said and smiled a little.
"You have a really lovely house" Max said and continued to stare.
"It should be a ‘we have a lovely house’" he teased and poked her arm. Max laughed and took her suitcase and they walked inside. Max liked the modern feeling of everything and the overall feeling. It was a big house but at the same time it didn’t feel too big. It was just enough.
"To be honest I couldn’t sleep at all at the plane, so I’m thinking about heading for the bed straight away" Alex said.
"Show me the bedroom, then I’ll go get a shower and might watch some tv" Max said. Alex smiled and gestured for her to follow him, and so she did.

Alex had a really big bed and Max just stared at it at first. It was a king sized bed with tons of pillows and three blankets.
"Sorry, one of the blankets belong to Jack. he crash her sometimes" he said and started to pull away one of the blankets.
"Jalex is real, is’t it?" Max said with a grin. Alex looked up, a bit surprised.
"I have no idea what you are talking about" he said with a grin and winked. Max laughed and looked around. Alex hurried over to a big wardrobe and moved some clothes and said she could take the right side. Then he hurried over to a big drawer and cleaned out two drawers and said that she could take them as well. She nodded and stretched her body a little. She opened up her suitcase and placed out her clothes, and then she picked up her black hotpants and her hamburger tank she used as a pajamas. Alex raised an eyebrow and chuckled a little.
"What? I like this one" Max said and laughed.
"Isn’t it a little bit big?" he asked and held it up. It would even be big on him.
"I like it that way" she said and took it back. He shook his head and looked at her. They were really doing this.
"So the bathroom is just outside to the left" he said and started to take off his clothes.
"At least wait until I’m out of the room" she said and blushed a little.
"Get used to it, you’re going to see me naked anyway" he teased with a grin.
"I hope not" she said and headed for the bathroom.

After the shower she put on her pajamas and headed for the bedroom. Alex was fast asleep and she smiled a little when she saw him so relaxed, snoring just a little and completely gone into the dreamworld. She picked up her little bunny teddybear and headed to the living room. With a gentle and caring motion she put the bunny on the sofa and looked at it. She had always had the bunny on her couch in England and it would definitely feel more like home if it was the same here. A bunny on the couch. It felt good, it felt right. She pulled her fingers through her hair and headed for the kitchen to take a look, and she found some cereal but no milk. To be honest she didn’t find anything in the fridge that was eatable. So it turned out to be a cleaning instead. A lot was rotten and destroyed.
"Why haven’t Alex cleaned all this out while going on tour?" she muttered and shook her head. When she finished she walked over to the sink and poured herself some water. Even if it felt a bit weird to be in a complete new place it still felt okay. Alex was nice and the house was nice. It felt okay to get to know him again. Maybe she even would learn to like All Time Low.

She was taken from her thoughts when she heard that someone entered the house. Max could hear heels against the wooden floor and she saw a tall woman with brown curls walk towards the living room. Max just stood there and stared for a second and she knew who it was. It was Brianna. A few hours in America and Brianna was already here. In the house. And you could smell and feel the hatred, and anger, from her. Her heels started to move towards the bedroom and that was when Max decided to take action. Just before Brianna opened the door to the bedroom Max took a grip of her hair and pulled her back. Brianna gasped in surprise and almost fell back, and Max stood in front of the door in a defensive gesture.
"Alex just fell asleep, so don’t you fucking dare to walk inside" Max said and glared at the dolled up face that looked back at her.
"Just so you know, Alex is mine and not yours" Bri said.
"Oh, is that why I have this and you don’t?" Max said and held up her ring. Brianna stared at her and suddenly looked so much angrier.
"Just so you know. I will do to you what I did to Jenna, and you will soon be gone" she said and smirked.
"But love, I’m not leaving" Max said with a fake smile.
"Just you wait and see" Bri said and crossed her arm with an even faker smile. Max looked at her.
"If I were you I would go, because you’re not even getting inside this bedroom" Max said and crossed her arms as well.
"What I don’t understand is how Alex could pick a fatty like you? Just looked at those thighs… no thigh gap at all" she said and laughed.
"But honey, have you ever eaten a pizza?" Max said.
"Well duh" she said and looked at Max.
"But then why is there only bones and fake tits on your body? I know Alex loves pizza, and wit you like that you could never be with him" Max asked, and faked a curious and surprised face. Bri furrowed her eyebrows, snorted and started to walk away. A few minutes later Max heard how the front door slammed and she lost her balance. Never had she been scared of anyone, but Brianna had really scared her. When she sat on the floor just outside the bedroom she looked at her own thighs and sighed.
"Don’t sigh, you have a perfect body Max" Alex said and walked out from the bedroom. He was still only dressed in boxer briefs and he still looked tired.
"Sorry if I woke you up" Max said and he helped her up on her feet again.
"Nah, I woke up when I heard her heels. I forgot to lock the door" he sighed and shook his head.
"She was pretty scary" Max said and shivered a little.
"Don’t listen to her, and… How did you know I love pizza?" Alex asked, a bit curious.
"I’ve watched an interview or two" she answered and shrugged.
"Should we go and get some, and buy some food? I think most of it is rotten" he said.
"I’ve already cleaned your fridge" Max said with blushed a little. Alex looked at her and then he chuckled.
"Let’s go get some pizza, and buy some food" he said and pushed her inside the bedroom to get changed.

Max thought it was a little bit weird to see Alex drive a car. Not that it was anything wrong with it. But seeing the rockstar alex Gaskarth drive a car like a normal person. It was a bit weird. But she didn’t say anything, until she suddenly heard what song it was on the radio.
"All we hear is radio gaga, radio blah blah, radio what’s new? Radio, someone still loves you" the speakers sang out and Max smiled. She started to sing along and Alex glanced over at her.
"You like Queen?" he asked.
"Queen is one of the best bands ever" she said and looked at him.
"You don’t seem like a Queen fan" he said and smiled.
"And what do I look like?" she asked and laughed a little.
"You look like an All Time Low fan" he teased and she laughed even more. then the next song came on and they both looked at the radio.
"JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL, LIVING IN A LONELY WORLD, SHE TOOK THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN, GOING ANYWHERE" they both sang out really loud, before they laughed again.

Max drove the cart and Alex walked before her and put things inside it.
"We need milk for cereal" he said and put in two big bottles. Max watched him as he put in cereal as well and then reached for bread.
"No, no way" Max said and stopped him.
"What?" he asked, a bit surprised.
"No way that we’re having bought bread" she said.
"What? Like you can bake" he said.
"Actually I do. I love to bake bread, cakes and cookies. So I will make the bread" she said and put the bread back in its place. Alex just looked at her for a short moment before he shrugged.
"Okay" he said and they continued to look for groceries. Butter, flour, vegetables, fruit, meat, egg, ham and cheese to have on a sandwich. they bought Nutella, bacon and pasta. they bought everything they could possibly think off that they might need. When they finally felt done they looked at the cart and it was completely full.
"Well at least we don’t have to go hungry" Alex said.
"When is your next tour?" Max asked.
"In about three weeks" he said and looked at him.
"AND YOU WANT US TO EAT ALL THIS IN THREE WEEKS?" she said and stared at him in surprise.
"We should maybe put some things back" he said and nodded. Max sighed and walked back with the cart and took away all the things they might not need. After she was done it was only half full.
"Much better" she said as she walked up to Alex again. He was talking to three girls that obviously was fans. When she came up to them they looked at her and Alex looked up as well.
"What? You emptied the whole cart" he whined.
"At least half of the things are left, you’re getting out on tour in three weeks. This is the only things we’ll need" she said.
"But Jack will come over a lot, what are we going to feed him?" Alex said.
"Didn’t I just tell you I will bake something?" she said and smiled. Alex looked at her and then he shook his head with a chuckle.
"And what is your name?" Alex asked and looked at one of the girls.
"Megan" she said and blushed a little. Max leaned against the cart and looked at them. A bit amazed by their love for him. the other two who Alex didn’t speak to was looking at her. That was when Max noticed they looked at her ring, and then at Alex ring. They understood without asking that she was the mysterious fiancé of Alex.
"Well we have to go, before my ice-cream turns soggy" Alex said with a grin. Max rolled her eyes and the girls glanced at her. Alex looked at her as well and then at the girls.
"This is Max" he said and smiled. They looked at him and melted when they saw his smile. He was about to say something when he saw that Jack called him.
"talk about the devil" Alex murmured and answered. Apparently Jack waited outside the house and he was hungry. Really hungry.
"Chill Jack, Max and I are on our way. She promised to make you a cake" he said and grinned towards Max.
"Does he want chocolate topping?" Max asked with a grin as well. She heard Jack go crazy on the other side.
"Well girls, we have to go. But it was nice meeting you, now Max… et’s go and get Jack some food" Alex said with a chuckle and gestured towards the checkout.
