Max Let's Alexi Have It

Chris cheered Serenity on as she skated, just happy to see her do so well. However, Max was fuming, the comment he'd made about Serenity had only added to the boiling rage he was feeling about the pizza girl and her sweet little brother.

So he went over to Alexi as he was yelling at Serenity and yanked him around by the shoulder so he was face to face with the Russian oaf. "You are a fucking cunt! And you'll never amount to anything beyond being a bigger cunt as the years go by. I'm going to have a chat with Mrs. Winters about how you've been treating her daughter and have your ass fired faster than you can say "Moose and squirrel!"

He looked to River and Serenity. "You guys take care. If you need me just call my phone." Then he stormed off and went to his car. He checked his phone and saw the message Kevin left and answered: You always have a home with me Kevin. I'll come pick you you.

So Max drove to the pet store and opened his passenger door. "What happened?"

Tam smiled warmly at him and rubbed his shoulder. "Me neither... I have a little brother to worry about... I'm scared for him. I actually had some friends take care of him today..." She suddenly remembered she was running late to pick him up and cursed. "I need to get him. Umm... Did you want to hang with me a little bit longer? I gotta get my brother but you're welcome to tag along if you want. Maybe I can convince Serenity to have us stay at her place? She's a sweet girl. And I know she has the room..." She was surprised by how forward she was being with this guy, but she felt a connection with him and all she knew was that she felt safer with him than she did at home.
