Max had thought he could have gotten away easily, but just when he thought he had made it, he was pulled right back into the room and pinned against the wall. He could see how close they were, and he started to blush a bit. The adrenaline beating through his heart and veins was giving him that extra alert boost in his mind. He couldn't help but look into her eyes for a moment, listening to her speak to him now that she had his attention. "How do I know you are telling the truth, Elise.. It's difficult to trust people nowadays for me... I can't just accept your words..." He struggled a bit, trying to pry his hands away from Elise's grip but it was practically futile. Max had to stop struggling though, remembering how close they were. He had to think of other ideas. One came to mind, but it only made him blush more just thinking about it. "Elise.. let go.. I have to go home..." he said, calmly, trying to get her to release her grip. He really did want to do what he planned in his head, but then again, what would be Elise's reaction? He was going to go for it, now. Max stared at Elise dead in the eyes for a moment, searching her eyes for something. "If you won't release me like the captive I am..." His head moved close towards hers, his head tilted to the side and kissed her on the lips, not pulling away.
