Max was mad at himself for trying to push Rimi away from him and he wondered how bad Rimi wanted to get close to him.  Would Rimi push pass the idea of the schedule and not allow Max to push him away?  In some way Max hoped that was the case, he didn’t want to lose Rimi, but he didn’t want to seem too easy either.  Max was not suppose to have feelings for a slave and that was his main problem, he seemed to like Rimi and what happened in the bedroom that morning made him remember that he still enjoyed sex.  The only reason it hurt as bad as it did was he had not had it in such a long time.<br/><br/>Max noticed the noodles were done and got a lid and tipped it over in the sink to drain out all of the water.  “I am not used to being liked.”  Max mumbled and then opened the fridge and took out the milk and butter and then finished up the Mac and Cheese.  He had just wanted something simple and this was as simple as it got over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Max grabbed a couple of bowls and split the Mac and Cheese between the two bowls and then grabbed a couple of spoons.  Max really quick cleaned the pan he just used and set it off to dry off while he ate.<br/><br/>Max handed the one bowl to Rimi and then picked up the other bowl and leaned against the counter as he ate his.  “See, I can cook when I put my mind to it.”  Max said with a smirk.  “And I didn’t even burn it.”  Max was trying to make a joke against himself.<br/><br/>Max was enjoying the food when he heard Rimi,<span style="font-style: italic">“I can feel the surprise being ripped out of it all just from looking at this thing. But I guess it can't be helped." </span>Max thought about what he said and to be honest he was just throwing the schedule out there to throw Rimi for a loop, “Well I never figure you for someone who followed everything to the letter.”  Max said with a shrug.<br/><br/>Max finished up the bowl of Mac and Cheese and he was feeling much better after haven eaten it.  He placed the bowl in the sink leaving it for Rimi to wash up with his.  Max looked at Rimi for a minute then grasped the back of his head tightly and pulled him close and crashed his lips into Rimi’s, “Oh the surprise is still there, its just finding it.”  Max said and left the kitchen.
