"Max,
can we please just go home?" Angel asked. I shot around to look at
her. I shook my head. She pouted. I looked at Fang, and he was
nodding in agreement.
"Why not?" she whined.
Fang looked at me.
"You horrible person. You
are torturing a seven year old girl and a fifteen year old guy. You
should be put in prison." I rolled my eyes, and Angel grinned.
Nah. He would just help you escape. He loves
you too much, and he would hate to have to visit you in prison. I
blinked, and Fang looked at me.
"What did she
tell you?" he asked. I quirked my mouth to the side.
"If
I went to jail, would you really just leave me there?" I asked. He
grinned.
"Probably. We would all be so happy
without you," he retorted. I rolled my eyes. We were at the county
fair. Nudge and Ella were off riding some rides, Iggy went with
Gazzy, and so that left me, Fang, and Angel together. There were a
lot of people, so me and Fang were getting really
claustrophobic.
"Really? Well, I feel so
loved," I said sarcastically. He smiled.
"You
should," he said quietly. He was being serious. I smiled.
"I
do," I said. He looked over at me. Jason from school walked
up.
"Max! Hey. I didn't expect to see you
here. Do you want to walk around with me?" he asked. I smiled and
looked at Angel. I could see Fang. He looked really sad. He
nodded.
"Go on," he said. I shook my
head.
"I promised Angel I would stay with her.
Sorry," I said sweetly. He smiled and nodded.
"Okay.
See you tomorrow," he said. I nodded. When he walked off, Fang
looked at me.
"Liar," he said. I looked at
him. "You didn't promise her anything. Why did you really not
want to go with him?" he asked. I shrugged.
"I
don't like him. I guess he's nice, but he's really annoying,"
I said. Fang chuckled.
"You have guys falling
for you left and right don't you? Max, you should probably let a
guy know when you don't like him. Jason thinks there's a chance
between you two." I rolled my eyes. "Max, I'm a guy. They are
in love with you," he said with a grin. I gawked at him.
"What?" I asked, stunned. "You're
crazy," I said rolling my eyes. He looked at me.
"Max,
I'm a guy. I know these things," he said. I looked at
him.
"How would you know when a guy is in love
or not? You've never been in love," I said snidely. He looked at
me.
"Yes I have. And I still am." I rolled
my eyes. As much as I wish it was, we all know it isn't me! I
thought angrily. Angel squealed. She looked at Fang. His eyes opened
wide. I looked at her.
"What did you tell
him?" I asked. She grinned. Fang smiled.
"She
does?" he asked. I gawked at her.
"What did
you say?" I asked with my voice sounding more panicked and worried.
He stepped in front of me.
"Max, I love you,"
he said poking my shoulder. My eyes opened wide. He just was staring
at me.
"Angel, did you…tell him…my
secret?" I asked having trouble finding the right words. She
grinned and nodded.
"Yeah," she said
innocently. I glared at her.
"Why?" I
shrieked. She quirked her mouth to the side.
"Because
if I didn't, neither one of you ever would," she said. I looked
back at Fang. He was watching my reaction.
"Great."
Fang rolled his eyes.
"Max, did it ever click
in your brain what I said? I love you," he said again. Oh my
God.
"You love…me?" I asked. He
nodded.
"More than anything," he said
stepping closer to me. He slowly started rubbing my cheeks with his
thumb. Tears were forming in my eyes.
"I love
you too," I whispered. He smiled. Before I could even blink, he
leaned in and kissed me…in the middle of the crowded fair. Angel
squealed and was jumping up and down. She was really excited. I
wrapped my arms around his neck, and he put his arms around my waist.
I heard Ella squeal, and Nudge gasped. I ignored them. Fang pulled
back slowly. I stared into his eyes. He was smiling. He grabbed my
wrist.
"You aren't flying away this time,"
he whispered. I shook my head.
"I'm not
going anywhere. I'm your prisoner. I go wherever you tell me to.
Wherever you go, I go," I said sweetly. He raised his
eyebrows.
"Is that a promise?" he asked. I
nodded, and he kissed me again. Iggy and Gazzy walked up this time.
"Gross! Great. This will be seen all the time
now!" Gazzy yelled. I pulled back.
"You'll
get over it," I said before kissing him again. This just gets
better and better.
