I know everything now 4

I turned and told him to meet me outside and that I was still uncomfortable with the whole idea of him being there when I'm half naked. I walked out and saw Max staring at the Doll. He was amazed by it but I wanted to just shake him off, since it was scaring me. I was starting to hate the Doll, yet it has its unique thing that I love which makes me feel normal. I shook it off and called Max and asked him if he was ready. "Later Dani, gonna take a walk kay?",I told him. "Hey Anna, can I talk to you for a second?", he asked me. I walked towards him and we walked to the Den. "Are you in a relationship with Max?", he questioned me. I paused for a second and breathed. I peeked at him for a little and saw his eyebrow get caught by a hook. I cleared my throat and answered him. "Yes", I answered firmly. "Well can I speak with him? If that's okay with you?" he asked me.
I walked away from Dani and towards Max, I saw his eyes were a little intense. "Babe, my Dad wants to talk to you", as I saw his eye flicker a bit. I held his arm and told him that everything will be okay. I saw him walk to the Den and heard nothing but silence. But then I heard grunting and laughter. I wanted to take a peek inside and listen but that'll be so rude.
I waited for 5 minutes and saw Dani and Max walk out from the Den and agreed on each other about going to Brooklyn sometime. "Anna, I am so glad that you and Max got together. He is a great guy ", he shook Max's shoulders while complimenting me and him. I did a little charity laugh and smiled. "Thanks Dad, we'll see you later? okay?", as I held Max's arm and turned my head to whisper at Dani. He nodded his head and smiled at the both of us. "Bye Dad!", I yelled across the hall and took the apartment keys and closed the door behind me. Max was already at the elevator waiting for me and as I got in he held my hand. "What did Dani say?", I asked him nicely. " Uhh.. He asked me questions about how I'm going to live my life with you and to never hurt in any way possible. Over all he likes talking about the things that I like too. Like sculpture searching or going to the met occasionally. He asked me if I wanted to look at his art in Brooklyn with you next month and I agreed to go", He exampled to me. I smiled and rubbed his arm. I loved the way he agrees on so much. One of the reason why I love him.
We walked out the elevator as soon as the doors opened. Max called a cab and took us to the met.
As we walked in and took a left, everything was amazing. The art of Monte. It actually made me cry. Well.. Figuratively. I love those fake dolls about history, it reminds me of the movie 'Night in the Museum' I like that movie. Funny that we didn't care what time it was. We headed out the doors and this time I called the cab and took us to the planetarium. Max has a friend there that can make us have a private room and he told me that he has something so special that he wanted me to see. It was a 30 minute ride and alas we arrived. His friend, Jason, opened the door to let us in and closed it shut. It was all dark inside and chilly. Jason turned on the stars and it was amazing. I was dazed about everything today. Jason laid out a blanket on the chairs. We sat down and cuddled up and looked up at the stars. He held my hand tight and kissed my hand. I do like this and it was really sweet of him. I didn't want it to end. I hope it won't. We sat there for hours, non-stop laughing and talking. Everything was perfect. I had a thought, if I was outgoing like this in Jakarta, my life would be like that already. But New York really does change you and I like that feeling.
Max looked at his watch and told me that we have to go. I wanted to stay a little bit longer, but we had no chance and went outside. Max paid Jason the money he owes him for everything and walked towards me with a smile. I see him getting something from his coat and saw a blue, shiny box. It was tiny and tied with a ribbon on it. "This is for everything you've done to me and for me, Thank you", as he handed me the gift. I untied the bow and opened the box. I saw a little locket, it was silver and had my name engraved on it. I opened the locket and saw more writing. It says ' Forever the one, forever we'll be and don't worry it'll be just you and me. I love you Annabelle '. I had tears coming down and I hugged him really tight and thank him for the necklace. A beautiful present and a cute poem inside. I know that this relationship would work and I know that we'd last.
Max kissed my forehead and called a cab. He took us home, but first he wanted to get coffee for Dani and I. We stopped at the nearest Starbucks and I sat down on a empty seat. I looked around the room and saw a guy staring at me. He had black curly hair and fair skinned. He smiled and caught me staring back. He got up and walked towards me, sat on my table and asked, "Where are you from?", " Jakarta, why?" I questioned. "Why all the sudden of sitting here and asking me weird questions?" I asked him this time. "Is it wrong to ask a stranger?", he questioned me. "Uh, yes it is", I replied.
Just in time, Max patted the man's shoulder and as he turned around, he smiled at Max. "Max, what a surprise to see you here", he grimaced. "Carlos, go away", he ordered. "Chill just getting to know people more, like you said last time", he explained. "She's my girlfriend", he said and Carlos looked at me and smiled. "Just go Carlos", Max pushed his body and he walked away.
Carlos looked back at me and did a phone signal and pointed on the tissue on my table. I turned it around and saw it already under my hand. Sneaky. "What's that?" Max asked . "Nothing, I just had something in my hand and it was spreading". I threw the tissue to the can and smiled back at Carlos.

I know everything now 3

We walked back to the bedroom and crawled into bed. I heard him breathe slowly on my neck and felt his arm hug my body close to his. I touched his hand and he kissed my neck and we slept.
The next morning, I woke up and he was gone. But then I smelt something so good coming from the kitchen. I got up from bed and walked to the living room, I saw him holding a fan facing me and chuckled darkly. I didn't want to laugh because my breath smelt bad and I forgot to brush my teeth after I got up from bed, the smell was so arousing that I forgot everything, I smiled and walked towards him and sat down. "Good Afternoon Miss Board, I hope you like Brunch," as he opened the lid off the plate. I saw a lady burger with bacon inside and a boiled eye on a goblet. It was so sweet of him. He sat in front of me and saw that he's eating scrambled eggs, bacon and chopped beef. He smiled at me and ate his brunch. I love a guy who can cook. To me, it's charming. The door bell rang and I stood up to get it, since I was done. I opened the door and saw Dani standing there smiling at me and hugged me straight away. I yelled at him with joy and kissed his forehead. I smiled and I think he saw Max in the kitchen?. "Max!", he yelled in the hall, 'Yeah he did', I thought. When Dani walked in, I had to breathe deeply, I walked back to the kitchen and saw Max and Dani did the hug handshake thing that guys mostly do. Its like they've known each other for years. Max is so old for his age. I chuckled to myself and wondered if Max or Dani saw me doing that. They didn't. Good thing.
I walked towards both of them and asked Dad about the trip. He told me that he wasn't in a friendly state when on the first day, but then on the second day, he was. He made loads of friends and some of them are coming over tonight, to check out the apartment. I wasn't really understanding the part where his friends are coming over and checking out the apartment, so I asked him, "Are we moving again?" I asked. "NO NO! GOD NO! I love it here", he replied. I puffed hard and stared at Max with wide eyes. But he smiled and that calmed me down. Dad took my hand and dragged me outside the apartment and brought Max with him. I saw the most beautiful art doll. I wanted to touch it but Dani won't let me. In my head, it looks like it was moving and I was so happy. Feeling happy. Amazing.
The Doll was heavy, so they [Dani and Max] carried it to the living room. Very black and bold with a hint of shadow grey. I grimaced at the doll. I wanted to hug Dani and smile all day. I forgot that I haven't showered yet, so I ran to the bathroom and showered. I think that Max was looking for me. When I finished I called him to go to the room and help me with what I should wear today.
"Help me baby", I asked. He took out a plain white shirt and jeans with leather boots. Now I really feel like a barbie doll. I dried my hair and put my clothes on, I didn't realize that he was still standing there. He held my hips and kissed my neck.
