Clown, I Love You!

Chapter 5 Guests

Max's eyes widened to hear the words of the woman. He did not expect that his question would ignite his emotions.

With a face that looked very upset, the woman turned her body intending to leave the place.

How not, he was already embarrassed and he did not want to linger close to Max for now.

Unfortunately, his body could not move forward. It turned out that Max's hand was on top of the woman's head and pressed her to hold her position in its current place.

The woman sighed after feeling her heavy head holding Max's hand over her head.

Instantly the woman turned her body to face Max who was smiling widely at her.

Max's hand was still on top of the woman's head and held the woman's head so as not to escape the grip of her hand.

The woman tried to grab Max's hand that was on her head and tried to let go of Max's hand so as not to clutch his head again, saying,

"Let go! Let go I said! I said let go!"

Max increasingly chuckled at the behavior of the woman in front of him. Now Max seems to have a new toy that he is ready to play anytime.

"Based on the pan, his body was tall, he loved to persecute a cute body like me," said the woman filled with annoyance.

"W-what? Wok?" ask Max by showing his confused face.

"Yes, frying pan. Maxs. Maxim's. The name of the skillet, right?" said the woman with confidence as if challenging Max who was in front of her.

With an upset face, Max replied to the words of the woman who made fun of his name.

"Basic of small fruit. Just like you, little girl. You haven't grown up all this time, Cher?" 

Max replies by making fun of Cherry's name and likening her to her cute posture, but ideal for a woman's size.

Cherry stared intently at Max who was laughing at her. Even he clenched his teeth so much that it churned. 

"Of course, I've lost a lot of energy because of you. Now get your hands off my head. I'm going home now" Cherry said grimly to Max.

Max opened the door and said,

"Come in, I'll take you."

Cherry reluctantly gets into Max's car. He was upset at Max at this moment.

However, Max's encouragement makes Cherry's body forced into the car. He sat in the front seat next to the steering wheel.

After Cherry had sat in her car, the door closed and she walked around to sit in the steering wheel.

"Pusers," said Cherry without looking at Max. 

Cherry just glanced at Max who was wearing his seatbelt.

Max smiled faintly hearing the innuendo directed by Cherry at him. Then he said,

"Was fast in your seat belt or did you deliberately not wear it so I could put it on?" 

With a quick movement Cherry grabbed her seatbelt and put it on before Max's hand first grabbed her.

Max is further amused by Cherry's playful demeanor that can make him smile and laugh.

Max's car began to leave the minimarket parking lot. Cherry just glanced at him without saying anything to Max. In his heart he said,

Just look, to what extent are you acting so pretentious in front of me. I'm sure if you don't know my house. 

Cherry held back her curiosity. He remained silent according to his plan.

Cherry's eyes widened and her mouth gaping to see Max's car stop right in front of Cherry's house.

"Let's get off. Do you want me to carry me into the house?" max said while chuckling.

Cherry suddenly woke up. He quickly removed his seatbelt and opened the door of his car.

With a quick movement he ran a little into the yard of his house. Without realizing it, he forgot his shopping.

Cherry turned to her side when she was about to open her door. He scrunched his forehead looking at Max who was right beside him. Then he said,

"Why did you come here?" 

Max showed me the plastic bag with the minimarket where they were shopping, saying,

"Did you deliberately leave it for me to come down and stop by your house?" 

"Just boy. Give me back my groceries and hurry home!" sahut Cherry with her regret.

Max chuckled at Cherry's words that looked very upset at him. Then he pinched Cherry's cheek, saying,

"Don't be rude, it won't work."

Hearing Max's words made Cherry even more upset. And also he felt pain on both of his cheeks that were pinched by Max with his anxiety.

Cherry banged Max's body while grumbling to vent her frustration.

"Max! You wok Maxim!" 

Max chuckles at the nickname Cherry created for him. He also replied to Cherry by the name he made specifically for the woman in front of him.

"What is a small cherry not curled?" 

Cherry stopped beating Max's body. He looked resentfully at Max and said,

"Ck, little cherry. My name is Cherry. I'm not small, but cute. Remember that!"

Max laughed at Cherry's self-defense. He would not stop laughing if he was near the girl who said she was cute.

Feeling ridiculed, Cherry no longer wanted to talk about her name. He switched the conversation by asking about something else.

"How do you know if my house is here? You're not a stalker, are you?" ask Cherry with squeaking eyes looking at Max.

"Just boy. My memory is super good and strong. I still remember it after you mentioned your home address last night" Max replied in his defense.

Cherry tries to remember what happened last night at the night market. He suddenly recalled the time he mentioned his home address according to his identity card to be matched by the clown who helped him at the market that night.

"Don't he know it's the clown at the night market? How do you know Max, when you are not there," said Cherry who with curiosity.

"Emmm. I was around the clown because the clown was working with me for the cafe. Maybe you just don't want to see anyone else. So, your point of view is only on the clown" said Max trying to give an excuse for Cherry not to know.

"But unfortunately, you kept your nose closed, so I couldn't see your face at that moment" Max said, looking at Cherry's confused face.

Suddenly the door of the house in front of them opened. A middle-aged woman was staring in wonder at Cherry and Max. Then he said,

"Who's Cher? Your girlfriend huh? Quickly bring in. Don't let it stand in front of the door for long."
