My Nerd... My Baby Boy novel Chapter 5

"May I please go with Jace, he's my only friend. " Max ask, his eyes pleading, if that was me I couldn't say no. Ms. Samuels huffed.

"Okay, but it has to be at his house when his dad is there. "

"He will be, I promise. "

"I know you don't keep promises Jace. " Ms. Samuels rolled her eyes and went back to teaching.

I smile and turn to Max and brush his hair out of his eyes to look in them.

So beautiful.

I didn't see Max until after school when Ms. Samuels walked him to my car. She made sure she put him in the car while I watched her, rolling my eyes at everything she is saying.

"Don't get to close. "

"Don't give in to sweet talk. "

"Don't accept a date with him. "

"Don't be in a room alone with him. "

"And most importantly, no telling about your personal life. "

When she closed the door she pinch his cheeks through the window and came back to me and Trent.

"You heard all the rules. " She said before walking into school.

"Damn, you have a challenge with this kid. " Trent said before walking over to his car.  

Thank god he was coming with us. I want to spend time alone with Max but I want him there, just in case. I got in my car and Max was looking down at his hands in his lap. When we turned he jumped as if he was in deep thought and didn't see when I came in.

"You okay Max?" I asked him.

"Uh huh. "

I waited until Tent drove out then I drove behind him.

We were on our way to my house, talking about random things. I figured out that when you pick a subject that Max is interested in there's going to be a long conversation. You'll also see a cheerful, free side of him. When we reached my house Max gasped. He brushed his hair out of his eyes to get a good look at the house.

"Your house is huge!" He said.

"Thanks. "

Wait that wasn't a compliment wtf is wrong with me 

I parked in the garage because Trent's car was in the driveway. Max and I got out at the same time. I held his soft hand because he wouldn't move from his spot beside the car. I led him into the house and into kitchen where I heard chips bag ruffling. Trent was on the counter, his favorite place when he comes over. He had a bag of lays and a bag of Doritos.

"Really?" I raised a brow and took out a bowl and a new bag of chips 

My dad came into the kitchen and smiled at us with his phone in his hand.

"Hey guys, Max, Ms. Samuels is on the phone. "
