Maxine gave him a soft smile, that turned to a frown she wanted this to be different but she wanted to keep him out of the drama that had become Arron. She actually didn't need to be alone she would convince herself she couldn't just walk away from Arron not now he'd come back around. "Trust me the last thing I really need is to be alone but at the same time you don't know me enough to get mixed up in this." he was so close she could smell his very personal smell one of sandalwood and a fresh rain. "This isn't goodbye Jonathan this is only the beginning. I'll remember that just know I may take you up on it." she whispered, taking the card in her hand.  It was so hard for her not to kiss his cheek right now.<i> Get it together max you can't risk his career for something that could be nothing.</i>She stood where she was she was wasn't going to risk anyone seeing her leaving the same room right after him. "Thank you for that." She spoke softly as he left the room. Looking over the card before sticking it in her bra.<br/><br/>She would leave not long after that via taxi to the posh hotel suite that Arron had insisted on. Making sure he wouldn't find the card she had waited for him to get there when he had things had went from bad to worst. They fought again over her leaving and "embarrassing" him. This resulted in her being smacked down once again this time her knight wasn't there to help her feel safer. She'd locked herself in the bathroom till Arron had passed out, she waited till she was sure he was dead a sleep before she went out on the balcony it was around dawn when she dialed the numbers with shaky fingers not that she really was sure what she was going to say to him just wanted to hear him again. She let the phone ring a couple times before she hung up convincing herself she was messing up. "Maxine what are you thinking?" She asked herself tenderly touching her cheek she could feel how swollen it was she wasn't going to make it to the event not with a swollen face.
