"I um...I thought that I forgot something inside but turns out that I didn't." Christina stumbled at her words as Max made his way towards her. He knew that she definitely heard something and that she was terrible at the pretense and lying game.
"Let's go." She said and turned around before making her way towards where his car was parked. Max trailed closely behind her.
"I wanted to grab you something to eat before—" Max started, pointing towards the restaurant but Christina shook her head negatively at him.
"Don't bother. I'm not hungry. Please just drive me home. It's getting late already." She persisted as she waited for him to open up the car door which he did almost immediately.
She got into the car and soon enough, he was pulling out of the parking lot as he drove out of the restaurant.
Throughout the drive home, no one said anything and somehow, Christina preferred it because she had nothing to say to him if she decides to start a conversation. He wasn't exactly the type of person she would enjoy sharing a conversation with in the first place.
"So about what you heard—" Max started when he had driven a distance. He didn't want to stay quiet and let the tension between them linger for long. He wanted to clear the air as soon as possible or she would keep on disking him more.
"I didn't hear anything." Christina countered as quickly as he had made that statement. "I didn't hear anything and even if I did, it's not my business so I don't want to be involved in it." She shunned him completely.
"Who you are, what you do and what you choose to do with your life is not my business so you shouldn't feel the need to tell me anything."
She glanced at him briefly. "It's not like I had any expectations from a man or any man to begin with anyway so you do you and leave me out of it so that I can at least pretend not to know anything peacefully." She added and threw her head back to rest on her car seat.
From a man? What does she mean by that statement? Is it that she knew other men before now? But that couldn't be the case cause she grew up in a convent. There's no way she would be exposed to something like that right? Hera wasn't so why would she in the first place? Max thought to himself with knitted brows.
That statement had a lot more to it that she wasn't letting on or maybe he was overthinking things like he usually does.
"Either ways, I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to hear that."
"No kidding." She answered nonchalantly as silence slowly drifted into the car. Max didn't have much to say and he knew that there wasn't anything he would say right now to change her opinion.
The car comes to a halt and before Max could offer to open the door, Christina did it herself and hurriedly stepped out. She made to leave when he stopped her.
"Listen, I apologize for what happened—"
Christina chuckled at the start of that sentence. "Apologies really do come easy to you doesn't it? I guess that's why you don't bother to mean them do you?"
