A/N: Ok so here is my next story. I didn't know what to call it but here goes nothing. :)
Everyone was asleep besides me. I was awake, waiting for him to come walking back through our front door. He abruptly took off with a short "I need to think" and left. Two hours ago. He couldn't have been attacked by Erasers or Flyboys, because they were long gone, along with Itex. So that's not why he's taking so long. He must have a lot on his mind. Sitting down on the couch, I yawned and reluctantly turned of the t.v. I pulled a blanket over me and a pillow under my head. But, I told myself, don't fall asleep just yet. You have to wait for Fang. But my eyes soon fluttered shut, and Fang with Lissa and Brigid haunted my dreams.
Later:
I woke to the sound of our front door opening, then closing. A plan was already starting to formulate in my mind: pretend to be asleep, then, when he/she is close enough, attack. Good plan, huh? I waited, listening for the sound of footsteps, but heard nothing. Next thing I knew, a calloused hand was stroking my hair and a voice whispered, "Oh Max, I'm so sorry." Was that Fang? What was he doing?
"I'm sorry I left again. I wish I could tell you how much I really love you." He loved me? Not Dr. Amazing or the RHW? Me? Just plain Max?
I decided it was time for me to wake up. "You promised," I said, opening my eyes.
"You were awake the whole time? You heard me?"
"Yes and yes. You said you wouldn't ever leave me. But you did. You were gone for exactly," I checked my watch, "four hours, thirty seven minutes and twenty six seconds. You left me," I finished in a whisper.
"Max, honey, I'm really sorry. Come on; now let's get you up to bed." He picked me up bridal style and I buried my face into his shoulder, feeling safe in his arms.
I loved him. I loved him with all my heart. He said it to me so now it was my turn to say it back.
"Fang?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart."
He walked into my room and gently set me down on my bed. He kissed my forehead, making my face break into a smile. He made his way to the door, but I grabbed his wrist and pulled him onto the bed next to me.
"No! Please stay! I don't want to loose you again! Please," I begged. He smiled and lay down, wrapping his arm around me protectively. I leaned my head back and fell asleep.
A/N: So that's it. Please review! Also, tell me if you want another chapter. I kind of have an idea if you do so let me know. O and also, in Max on page 285, Nudge says ZOMG. Can anyone tell me what that means? Ok thanks! :)
