Chapter 167: We need to take care of each otherMaxwell was so freaking adorable.
Andrew watched the man as he stuffed his face after their several hour long romp. He was cultured, of course, each movement he made practised, and elegant, but he was definitely stuffing his mouth full. Andrew enjoyed that he enjoyed his food so immensely.
Andrew knew he was watching him more than he should be. His face was resting against his hand as he leaned against the table, watching him consume the food he’d made for him. Even after all that they had done, Andrew was still having a hard time keeping his hands off of him.
In fact, he was already imagining shoving all the food out of the way and having his wicked way with Maxwell on the table, but he knew better. Even if the image of Maxwell spread wide against the wooden table, the plates and cutlery scattered around as he looked up at Andrew with surprise, and desire, as Andrew ate him up as greedily as Maxwell was eating up his dinner. Even so, he knew better.
Maxwell needed to eat. He needed his energy. He had a very important job, and it would make Andrew feel horrible if he didn’t get the protein that he needed all because of his selfish desires. Maxwell was busy, and very important.
"Oh! Maxy, do you know if Amir and Ben are thinking about looking at daycares already?" Andrew asked and Maxwell gave him a curious look.
"Why would they be looking already? Amir’s only gone for his first official ultrasound at this point, and they’re both so cautious that they wouldn’t want to risk anything too stressful for him." Maxwell made a good point, and Andrew sighed, turning his attention back to his own food.
"Ah. You’re completely right. I knew that, but I was hopeful that I could use that to check something out." Maxwell gave him a curious look.
"Why would you need to use Amir to check on something?" Maxwell asked, his cheeks slightly full from the food in his mouth. Andrew had to do his best not to smile.
"Well, you remember that I brought up one of my new coworkers and how she has a child, yes?" Maxwell, growing suspicious, shifted in his seat.
"Are you about to put your nose in something you shouldn’t, Dr. Knox?" Andrew winced. That wasn’t a good sign.
"W-Well, I was just curious, you know? She’s a beta, and she worked really hard to get her daughter into that daycare. It’s in the base of one of the towers near where your parents live, so apparently a lot of rich kids go there. She wanted the best for her daughter, and I thought if I could just...use Amir as a reason to go check it out, that would be a good enough excuse." Andrew sighed. "Apparently, she doesn’t take kindly to help, so I wanted to do something without getting in trouble. Amir was the first option I could think of." Maxwell frowned, thoughtful. He put his fork down, dabbing at the corners of his mouth with his napkin.
"And so that was the reason you brought up childcare huh? To shove it to a daycare center for rich kids?" Andrew opened his mouth to protest, but the smirk on Maxwell’s lips told him that he wasn’t in trouble for it.
"Well...I was sure that didn’t influence me asking about her, but now I can’t deny that it would make me happy to do that." Andrew muttered, and Maxwell grinned.
"Andrew. We might make a villain out of you yet. I love that that is an influence for you, and I highly encourage enemies. They help you grow stronger. I am more than happy to help you with that. I’ll have Mr. Newman look into it, since he can, and then we’ll schedule a visit." Andrew blinked.
"What?" He asked and Maxwell sniffed.
"Who said you needed Amir? Why can’t I go with you? Am I not enough arm candy for you?" Andrew was shocked, and his slack jaw showed it. Maxwell chuckled. "What? Is it that shocking? I’ll think of it as field re
"Alright. I’ll pack it up. Did you want me to make you a lunch for tomorrow?" Andrew asked him, and Maxwell paused, about to open the patio door before he turned back with a smile.
"That sounds wonderful, actually. Thank you." He told Andrew and Andrew beamed.
"Perfect. I’ll see you in a few minutes."
