"But it seems that he likes someone else." she said arguing with herself whether to tell him or no.
 
"He does? How do you know? Ever asked him?" He argued back with a smile "he might surprise you."
 
"Hmm. You have a point. But if, for example, I told you I like you, how would you react?" she asked him boldly.
 
"For example huh? Well.. Uhm.." Declan got up and stepped closer to her, he spun her stool so she faced him, moved in and kissed her softly, letting it linger as he slowly put his arms around her.
As the kiss broke he smiled "was that answer enough?"

She was unable to move as he unexpectedly spun her around and kissed her. "I, uhh, i-I, uhm, yes?" she answered dazed and heart beating fast. "Wow. I mean, uhm, yeah" she stuttered blushing bright red.
 
Declan smiled and nodded "well.. Good.. So yeah.. Maybe he'll respond like that. Who knows."
 
"I hope so." she said blushing. "Maybe I will tell him once I have enough courage to do so." she smiled at him.

Declan shrugged "as I said before, it might do you good.. It's some sort of regaining control."

Max dropped a glass and stepped back "D-D-Dec!"
Declan sprung up and looked at him "yeah what's wrong?"
Max stood frozen, as a man walked in they both remembered all too well.

As he got closer to Max, Declan walked over "sir, you have no permission to get behind the bar."
He got ignored and repeated himself, this time louder than before "YOU HAVE NO PERMISSION TO GET BEHIND THE BAR."

Still no response from the man, but he was awfully close to Max by now.
Declan sighed, walked up to him grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back "You! Outside.."
The guy looked at him surprised "NOW!" He continued as he pushed him "FASTER, we haven't got all day!"

The guy tried to get passed that Declan, but every try failed "I'm not playing, Roger. Get the fuck out. He doesn't want you anywhere near him!"
The guy gave Max one last look before turning around, Declan close behind.

Max look at the floor "Fuck.. I gotta clean this.. I gotta clean this up.."
He started cleaning, tears in his eyes.
Declan didn't come back for about half an hour.. When he did, he was escorted by two officers, his nose was bleeding, he had some cuts on his face and his eye was swollen.
"What the hell happened!?"
Max was confused, but also very worried.
Declan smiled "don't worry, firecracker. Can you do me a favor? Go to time, the keys are in the office, Leila is staying there. I will be back as soon as possible, it'll only take a minute."
Max nodded and looked at Leila, then looked at Declan "Also, ladies and gentleman, I am very sorry to announce that for the night we are closed, but feel free to come back tomorrow night, we will be open until the normal time."

The cafe started to run empty, and Declan got escorted to the police station.
Max walked into the office and came out with the keys, he looked at Leila and sighed quietly "hey, come on, let's get you home."
 
She looked worried as Declan went out with the police. "Will he be alright?" she asked Max as they headed out. "Who is that man?" she asked after a while. "Uhh, never mind. Sorry I asked." she said as she realized that asking was a bad idea.
 
Max nodded "Yeah, they won't keep him long. They know him."
As she asked Max sighed "my uhm.. My ex.."
 
"You mean Declan usually gets arrested like that?" she asked a bit confused. When Max said the man was his ex, she was surprised. "Oh. I see. Well, if I were your ex, I'd never want to let you go, too." she said promptly then hastily apologized. "Sorry. I mean don't mind me." she told him.

"No, not at all.. But they know he is not a bad guy, and won't do anything without a reason."
Max chuckled and smiled
"Yeah.. Well.. He just wants me to come back so he can beat me again.."
As she apologised he looked at her "why are you saying sorry? No need to apologise. How are you feeling anyway?"
 
"That he is. I hope they release him soon. He looked pretty beaten up." she replied looking ahead."Oh. He did? That's scary." she said shivering at the thought. Ugly memories started to resurface but she pushed them back to her mind. "I'm much better now. Thanks to you, too." she smiled at him and grinned.

He smiled "well, I'm glad you feel better.."
They got to a fairly big house, they walked through the door and Max looked around "yeah, so this is it, uhm, I can show you your bedroom if you want."
 
They arrived at a huge house and she stopped for a moment to admire it. "Wow. Oh yes please." she replied to Max. She looked around as thy entered the house. "Nice house you got here. Cool." she remarked.
 
He chuckled "it's not mine, it's Declan's."
He led her up some stairs, looked around and opened a door "here, this is your room, you can do whatever you want with it."
 
"Whoa. Really?" she said surprised. They stopped to a room that looks a bit girly. "I see. I think I won't make any changes much. A bit less girly, though." she laughed lightly.
 
Max chuckled "hey! I did the walls on this room! I figured one day there'd be girl who probably needed a place to stay.. After a long hard talk, me and dec finally agreed on me doing one room."

 
"The walls are great, chill. I'm just teasing you." she grinned at him. "You did this room?" she said with admiring eyes. "You're a talented guy. I think that's awesome." she complimented him. She jumped to the bed and laughed. "Who picked the bed?" she asked Max laughing as she bounced into it.
 
Max smiled "I picked everything, the cabinets, the bedside table, the dresser, the bed.. Declan has a better bed in his room though."
