Chapter 145

“I highly doubt that. I’m not attracted to you in that way. I’ve been attracted to Blake from the day I met him. You, on the other hand, are un annoying that won’t go away.”

Rocky cracked up laughing.

Max looked stunned.

“Here I am offering to help you, and you’re calling me a pest? Seriously? Don’t you think it’s stupidity to mark the one warlock that can help you?” Max growled. He sounded angry.

I didn’t know much about the supernatural world but from all the movies and TV shows I had watched, keeping people with magic on your side was always handy.

Max was right about one thing in particular. Since we had met, he hadn’t done anything wrong to me. He had actually saved me and kept me safe. had never witnessed him being a bad guy. What did I have to lose by being his friend? Was I too cryptically?

“Okay, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have called you a pest. You are right; there are lots of interesting things to learn about you. How about I make you a deal! FU keep an open mind and get to know you some more only if you be my friend and stop trying to steal me away from Blake.”

“You’re friend–zoning me?” Max looked horrified.

“Sort of. I don’t know you at all, and the best way to know you is by being your friend. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, but I figure it’s the best option if you want to stick around and not have your brother kill you.”

Max narrowed his eyes at me, and I could literally hear his brain ticking.

I glanced over at Rocky. His eyes were flicking between the road and Max. I was sure he was telling Blake everything.

“Fine. If that’s what you want, I’ll be your friend. At least this way, I do get to stay around you. Besides, you may see something you like, and I can assure you I have a few things you may like,” Max smirked, raising his eyebrow suggestively.

“Blaargh” I stuck my tongue out and pretended to vomit.

Rocky cracked up laughing again. Max rolled his eyes and looked away.

“You’re making me regret my decision to be your friend.”

“Well, suck it up. Innocent flirting is common in friendship, right, Rocky?” Max snickered.

“No comments made.” Rocky sobered up.

Before Rocky and I found out we were related, Rocky use to pass innocent flirty comments as well. However, I knew regardless of the remarks Rocky made, his intentions were never wrong. He only did it as a joke.

With Max, I knew it wasn’t a joke. Max intended to make me his, and even though I was okay with letting it slide, Blake wouldn’t be so happy.

“You have to behave, Max. I don’t want to have to pick between Blake and our friendship. I will always choose Blake, and that will just add fuel to the fire you already have burning for your brother.”

Max nodded but started quiet. The look on his face made my insides shiver. I knew I was going to regret my decision. I had to tell Blake about my newly formed friendship with Max. The last thing I needed was Blake getting the wrong impression.

The car slowed down, and I looked out to find the Cooper Mansion before us.

“Blake’s waiting for you in his room,” Rocky called over his shoulder.

Shit! Blake would have already heard our conversation through his mindlink with Rocky.

Chapter 145

“Is he mad?” I whispered. My voice was cracking a little.

“No, he isnt. He’s just worried about you. Go see him.”

I nodded and gave Max one last look before opening the door.

“I’m here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on after you argue with Blake. Max snickered.

“Shut up, asshole!” I flipped him my middle finger and slammed the door shut as hard as I could.

“Hey! Careful. Why are you getting angry at my car?!” Rocky shrieked and quickly got out to check his car

“Whatever!” I took a deep breath in and headed inside. My heart was pounding. Was Blake going to be mad that I had initiated a friendship with Max He hadn’t shown any skepticism at the cemetery when I had asked Max to be my friend.
