THE WASTED WIFE
MAXXIE

"Good night, Mr. Maxxie". A waiter greeted Max politely and warmly.

Max replied with a faint smile at the corner of his lips. The man hugged Elara's waist towards the table that had been ordered by her assistant Bill this afternoon.

She smiled at the waiters who greeted her.

Maxxie opens the chair for Ela.

"Thank you. Looks like you've been here a lot. Everyone here knows you well" said Elara, closing her lips to Maxxie's ears.

Ela did not expect Max would take her dinner in such a romantic place. He thought Max was taking him to dinner.

Maxxie smile. "The food here is delicious. In New York, you chose food for me. Tonight I will vote for you" Maxxie said. He sat his body before Elara.

"I'm ashamed you took me to dinner in a place like this, Max. Look at them coming up with a couple and wearing expensive dresses. I only wear this simple dress. I didn't bring a dress, you know we were in a hurry when we went to the airport" Elara said looking at her own clothes.

Maxxie smiled at the words of Ela who was always telling the truth.

"You wear any outfit, you're always beautiful Ela. I'm just amazed at your simplicity, who would have thought you were one of the owners of a company as big as Lucifer. In an age like now girls like you are very step up. I'm amazed at you" Max said solemnly.

Although actually the dress that Ela wears is not a cheap item, anyone who understands fashion must know the dress from a famous brand.

The two were silent as the waiters delivered the appetizer and poured the wine into the glass. Maxxie and Ela immediately enjoyed the dishes served at the table while seeing some couples dance with a friendly even some kissing.

Naturally like that, because the restaurant Maxxie chose was a special romantic restaurant that had a partner.

Ela is also confused why Max brought her to such a place, because they are not lovers let alone married couples who have a bond.

Even to get in there must wear formal clothes. Visitors can be sure not just anyone.

While waiting for the main course, Maxxie suddenly extended her hand.

"Ela, let's dance. You must be good at it. I'm sure".

"I'm not good at dancing Max. Especially like them, dancing romantically like that", exclaimed Ela looking at the couple who were chained in front of them

But the girl did not refuse, she welcomed Maxxie's hand. Elara smiled following Maxxie's steps into the middle.

The romantic song Fall Again is beautiful, the melodious voice of Glenn Lewis accompanies the dancing couple.

Maxxie immediately hugged Elara's body, and vice versa. Both seem to be swept away by the romantic atmosphere that immediately presented.

Sometime, no matter who started it, Maxxie and Elara put their lips together, lovingly beating each other like a couple drunk in love. The tongues of the two are attached to each other.

Ela's body was instantly fed by the heat. But the girl felt a strange chill in her body. His chest was pounding. His stomach was also in the taste of many butterflies flying tickle.

Ela realized that she immediately opened her eyes to look at Maxxie who was also looking at her intensely.

Max's hand rubbed the girl's face gently. "You're so pretty Ela. L like you. I like you so much" said Max gently. The man brought his face closer.

Both are still moving the body following the music. So intimate. The bodies touch each other. Maxxie's hand hugged Elara's waist while Ela's hand coiled around the man's neck.

"Max–"

"Hem?"

"It seems that now my stomach is really hungry" said Ela Lirih in contrast to the adorable face looking at Maxxie with round eyes.

"We enjoy the Main Course now" said Maxxie holding Ela's hand to the table that has served the main course.

"I ordered the most delicious brisket in Texas. Hope you like it too".

"Of course I like brisket. Beef cooked by smoking for hours but still has a tender and juicy texture" replied Elara smiling as she looked at the dishes in front of her.

"Special tonight forget your habit of not eating meat. You have to try this brisket of my choice is so good" Max said while swapping Ela's plate for her cut-up brisket.

"To Mr. Maxxie, I will prove the truth of your words. How delicious is this ply meat", replied Elara briefly.

Ela feeds off a piece of her purplish meat. The girl closed her eyes for a moment. "Wow, you're absolutely right, Max. This brisket is delicious".

Elara narrowed her eyes at Maxxie and half-whispered leaning forward. "You don't make fun of me when I finish all these dishes" she said, which made Max laugh.

The two enjoyed dinner in a warm, intimate atmosphere. Ela and Max share a story about each other.

After the dinner, Maxxie did not immediately drive Ela home, but took the girl to the city park. The two did not get out of the car, just enjoy the night view of Terry park is so beautiful from the car alone.

"Are you still alone right now, Ela. Is there someone special in your heart?", Maxxie's voice suddenly interrupted Ela's mind.

Ela turned her face to look at the man who was looking at her as well.

"Yes there" answered Elara quickly and briefly.

"Hm. I seem to be out of luck. Actually now I want to confess my feelings to you, Elara".

Suddenly Maxxie said what made Ela cough. He was shocked to hear Max.

"Since I met you for the first time, at Asley's school you've been stealing Ela's attention. Especially the next meeting. You can make my heart shake and you can't forget your face".

At once Elara's body trembled and her heart beat faster than usual hearing Maxxie's confession.

"I've been alone for a long time. My wife Vivienne passed away almost six years ago. I lived in solitude and loneliness".

"Five years ago I met Olivia who had a face like Vivienne. Honestly when I first saw her my feelings were shaking, she reminded me of my wife who I always missed. I offered Olivia a wedding back then. But Oliv is not willing, he has deep feelings for Oliver. Moreover, she is pregnant with your sister's child".

"After a long time with Olivia, I realized that the feeling I had for her was not the feeling of love as a couple. More precisely the feeling as a brother to his sister. I love Olivia and Asley like my own family" Maxxie explained all about herself to Elara, who listened attentively.

"Who would have thought that when Olivia asked me to pick up her son at school, I saw Asley's teacher who was training her ballet students. Miss Ela who is very beautiful" said Maxxie staring at the black bead Elara.

Elara stared in disbelief at what she heard. The girl didn't budge a bit. Until Ela felt Maxxie's hand.

"I love you Elara. I'm a grown man, I wouldn't force you if you had a lover like you said. But I still want to express my feelings to you".

Ela's eyelids gnawing. Those beautiful eyes saw solemnity in Maxxie's dark black bead.

Suddenly Ela's clothespin framed the handsome face of the man.

"The special guy I was referring to was you Max. You're the special man in my heart right now. I am ashamed to keep my own taste. Huhh..apparently I do not clap one hand, you also feel the same feeling with me" said Elara close her lips. Gently pecking lips Maxxie.

"I love you.."
