Accident Prone

Liz was lowering herself to give Max the kiss he requested (but on the cheek instead of on his lips), and she was halfway down when she spotted Olivia frozen at the door and staring at them while holding a full bag of groceries in each hand.

Olivia got in few seconds ago, just in time to hear that Liz laughed and said to someone that he is shameless, and a husky voice hummed back. Olivia can't see the man, but Liz is definitely on top of him and she is going for a kiss!

Olivia remembered that Liz was in a romancing-sandwich between Dr. Dreamy and Max freaking Anderson during lunch when Olivia left.

Is that Dr. Dreamy under Liz? Must be, because there is no way that is Max freaking Anderson. Right?

"Hi, Olivia…", Liz said awkwardly and gave eye-signals to Max that he should let go of her.

Max grumbled internally. Why is Olivia having such a bad timing? Any more of this and he will think of her as a bad luck. Max let go of Liz who immediately stood up.

Max propped himself up and turned to Olivia.

"Hi…", he forced a smile.

Olivia's mouth was half open.

"Uhm…" Olivia looked at Elizabeth and it took some time to form a sentence: "Are you going to tell me how this is not what it looks like?"

Liz cleared her throat and asked Olivia: "How does it look like?"

"You on top of Max, about to kiss him."

Liz thought for a second. "Well… it is what it looks like."

Olivia's eyebrows shoot up. "So, you two are dating?"

Liz looked at Max who understood that as a signal that he should respond. He grinned. "Yes, we are."

"OK. I'm going to change.", Liz leaned toward Max and pecked his cheek before dashing to her bedroom. She has no intention to give more time for Olivia to ask questions.

Max was happy that he got a kiss, but not about the location. His plan was to move at the last moment and make Liz kiss him on the lips, but that was BEFORE Olivia showed up! She is definitely bad luck.

Olivia's mind was spinning while she processed the newly acquired information how Elizabeth, a woman who said that she is NOT interested in dating, and who called Max all kinds of names because he is using women as disposable items… that same Elizabeth IS dating Max freaking Anderson! A man who does not date women is dating Elizabeth!

Olivia was not ready for what came next: the door of the second bedroom opened, and Hunter and Mia stepped out while holding each other closely and gazing at each other lovingly.

No matter how you look at it, those two are very affectionate, and it's a no brainer that they spent the night together.

Max watched his not-interested-in-women brother and could not believe that Hunter is clinging onto Mia.

Hunter and Mia froze for a moment at the sight of two people staring at them before they burst into laugh.

"Good morning. I smell food!", Mia said with a big smile on her face and walked toward the kitchen while holding Hunter's hand in hers and pulling him after her.

Hunter and Mia headed straight for the bags from the bakery, while ignoring questioning gaze from Max, and a statue-looking girl called Olivia.

Liz stepped out of her bedroom and blinked few times at the sight of Hunter and Mia who were checking out the contents of the bags in the kitchen.

Mia nudged Hunter with her hip playfully, and he put his arm around her waist before pulling her to stick to him.

"Try that again…", Hunter teased Mia knowing that she can't move because he is holding her.

Mia was about to protest, but then her lips stretched into a smile around a blueberry muffin which Hunter stuffed into her mouth. The muffin was large and about half of it fit into her mouth. Hunter leaned toward Mia, biting off the muffin part which was sticking out. They chewed slowly while smiling at each other with their eyes.

Liz robotically walked to the sofa and took a seat next to Max.

"Did you know about this?", Liz asked Max in a hushed voice.

"I found out a minute before you.", Max honestly responded.

The coffee machine beeped, indicating that the pot is full of freshly brewed coffee and that sound startled Olivia out of her frozen state.

"I will get it!", Olivia said louder than intended.

Olivia poured five mugs of coffee and brought them on the table, happy that her shaky hands didn't spill anything. First, Max freaking Anderson is dating Elizabeth, and now mysterious Hunter Anderson is with Mia?! Too much information on a Sunday morning. Just yesterday they went for a lunch, and everyone was single!

Olivia wondered if Brianna ended up with Quentin. Probably. The two of them were the most obvious with flirting during lunch, out of everyone present. That must be some record setting lunch in terms of creating couples! Did she leave that lunch too soon? If she stayed longer would she be dating Dr. Dreamy? He is hot, but Olivia is into eye-candies who are for looking, not for touching. But if that lunch can make Liz date Max, maybe it can make Olivia wish to touch eye-cadies as well!

Liz and Max stared at Mia and Hunter who were sitting on the floor in the living room and feeding each other while exchanging loving gazes, like no one else is there.

Max could not believe that is Hunter: aloof and absolutely not interested in women. Did someone switch bodies with him? That would explain this sudden change in behavior.

Liz cleared her throat, to get Mia's attention.

"Mia, can we talk for a second?", Liz gestured toward her bedroom.

As soon as the door closed behind Mia and Liz, Max asked Hunter: "For Rina's twentieth birthday, we broke a window. Who did it and what happened?"

Hunter looked at Max questionably but answered: "Rina broke the window in the living room with a golf ball, I took the blame, and you got punished."

Max grimaced. "OK. Just checking if you are really my brother who is not interested in dating."

Hunter chuckled. "Max, Mia is amazing. I want to marry her."

Max chocked on his saliva. "What?!"

"I thought how you are crazy to be so stuck on Elizabeth, but now I know how you feel. It's an absolute force and I can't ignore it. I fell hard for Mia, and I can't imagine my life without her. Every second without her is painful. I need her to be mine, completely. As soon as I get a chance I will buy a ring. Maybe I propose without a ring and get one later…", Hunter ended with a mumble.

"She is going to New York today, before lunch.", Max said flatly.

"I asked her to stay and she said 'yes'.", Hunter said dreamily.

Max narrowed his eyes. "Stay WHERE exactly?"

Between their family home and University dorm, Hunter crashes in Max's apartment once or twice a month.

It is not a good idea for Hunter to bring Mia to stay home with their parents. And staying with Mia in Max's place is a horrible idea!

Hunter shrugged indicating that he is not sure.

"It does not matter where we stay. As long as I'm with her, that is all that counts." Hunter paused for few seconds before adding. "I will get my own place. With her."

Max wanted to ask Hunter if he is aware that he met Mia only twenty-four hours ago! And he is talking about cohabiting and a marriage?! But seeing goofy smile on Hunter's face, Max can tell that no matter what he says, it will go over Hunter's head.

"I am happy for you. But… be more tactful when you tell mom and dad about her. You should not tell them that you are dating Mia and that you want to live with her and marry her within the span of ten minutes.", Max advised.

Hunter frowned for a second at Max's words before his face returned into a goofy-smile state.

Olivia sipped her coffee and her eyes darted between Max and Hunter. If someone told her before this morning that among two Anderson brothers, Max is the conservative voice of reason, she would not believe it.
