A deathly silence followed Max's words, as they both just stared at each other with thoughts of their own.
Max was afraid that she would get offended, but he didn't regret coming out clean. Her advances towards him had affected him a lot.
He was just a teenager in both lives, so a mature woman like Harley had a drastic effect on his hormones and mind. Not to mention, Max already had affection towards her character.
He knew he wouldn't be able to resist her any longer if she continued to tease him like this and would definitely fall for her.
Max didn't have a problem with that, but one thing he knew for sure was that Harley didn't love him, and he had no time to focus on her.
There wasn't a single time Max had not gotten the dangerous feeling whenever she flirted with him. It was as if she was a warmth he needed, but getting closer to her would turn him into ashes.
That was why he never acted on his desire.
[You don't hate flirting with her though.]
