Chapter Twenty-Two

Lane

The weirdness changed fairly quickly, and I found that I enjoyed talking to Max even more than I thought possible. He told me how being a bartender was actually his dream, which shocked me. But when he talked about what he did, it was like I could feel his passion in every syllable. His love for mixing drinks was how I felt about dancing.

“So tell me, what sort of dancing do you teach?” he asked as he handed his card to the server. I protested, but he said he’d asked me out, so I had to shut up.

“I teach just about everything. Alexandra and I are the instructors. Nolan is pretty much the office manager of sorts. He has hidden talents of his own though, which you saw at that charity show.”

He nodded. “Yeah, I have to say I was surprised to see it was him.”

“I have found people shock me more than I thought they would.” I met Max’s gaze, hoping he understood he was one of the people I had misjudged.

“Yeah. Happens.” He shrugged, and the server brought the receipt over. Max signed it and stood. “Ready for part two of our date?”

That surprised me. Most people I’d ever been on dates with would feed me and then want to fuck me. “And what is part two?”

“Ahh, come, my little pink-haired dancer, and I will show you.”

I laughed as I followed him to his truck. He waved at Biggs as we left, and the bubbles of excitement was a wonderful feeling. I never felt dread with Max—in fact, the complete opposite. Whenever I was with Dorian, years ago, all I felt was a suffocating fear. Max’s laughter wasn’t sadistic, it was joyful. There wasn’t a hidden agenda with Max…not like with Dorian.

Max wouldn’t tell me where we were going, and I found I didn’t care. He’d probably make sitting in a junkyard fun. We drove for about ten minutes, me talking about dancing and Max asking me a million questions about it. He pulled into a lot which was filled with a ton of cars.

“What is this place?” I asked. I had lived in Haven Hart for a long time, and I never knew this was here.

“I don’t know whether to be happy you don’t know of this place or appalled you don’t since you’ve lived here so long.” He tapped his chin. “I’ll say happy. I’ll enjoy showing it to you.” He hopped out of the truck and rushed over to my side to get the door.

“You’re quite the gentleman, Max Fazio.”

He bowed dramatically, making me laugh. I took his offered hand, and he helped me out of the truck, even though I didn’t need it. It wasn’t often I was treated with such respect from guys I’d gone out with. I knew he was doing it out of respect and not because he thought I was weak, but it was how he was raised, so I was happy to oblige. I was surprised when he didn’t let go as we headed toward what appeared to be an opening.
