Max POV
"I – I need to go." I stuttered.
"No wait," said Fang grabbing her hand. I tried to jerk away but he wouldn't let me go. Suddenly I found his lips on mine. I tried to get away but soon new it was useless. I slumped against him, his lips still on mine. His hand snaked up my back and cupped the back of my head. He pressed it forward, his kiss becoming more intensified. His lips were warm against mine and his hot breath poured into my mouth. Suddenly he broke away.
I looked a him scared, what had he just done?
I pulled out of his grip and raced in to the woods. What had just happened? Did Fang really love me? I sat down next to a tree and cried. I'm not sure why I did. Maybe it was just from the shock of the kiss or maybe it was because of all the jumbled emotions swirling around inside me. Tears tricked down my face and landed on the ground next to me. I couldn't handle this right now. It was bad enough growing up at the school, but now this?
I had always taken comfort in the idea that Fang was my friend, my brother. But now, did he want to be something else?
"Ughh," I groaned. This was all so complicated. I new Fang loved me, but did I love him back? I just couldn't tell.
Fang POV
"Stupid Max," I yelled, punching a fist into a tree.
I showed her I loved her and she ran away. Angle said she loved me, she just didn't realize it. How could I make Max see that we were supposed to be together?
I snapped my wings out and soared into the sky. The wind wiped past my face soothing my boiling emotions.
I arrived back at the hotel slamming the door on the way in. The flock were all in my room watching a movie, except max, she wasn't there.
"How did you all get in here?" I asked. Darn, I had been looking forward some peace and quiet.
"Angel told the Janitor to let us in, you know with her mind control. Did you know the janitor has a key to every room? It's so cool. By the way I'm really hungry, could we have dinner. Could we have pizza? But that so greasy. Maybe we should have MacDonald's. But no, that's too…
"Nudge!" yelled Gazzy. Shut up! I want to watch the movie!
"Now now do be nice Gazzy.'
I spun around to see non other than Dr. M (Max's mom) standing in the doorway to our hotel room.
"Dr. M" shrieked the kids. They ran over and hugged her.
"Hey don't forget about me," said a voice behind Dr. Martinez.
"Ella!" they shrieked again.
"Hey hey easy now," she said as a bombardment of kids tackled her.
They carefully disentangled themselves from them and came over to me.
"What are you doing here," I asked.
"It's almost Christmas, remember? Jeb thought it would be a good idea if we spent it together. He told us where you were, and so here we are!"
"Why didn't he tell us to go to your house?" I asked puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe he thought it would be a little risky, with the school knowing vaguely where I live."
"Hmmm," I said not entirely convinced.
"Oh I almost forgot, I brought a friend with me," said Ella popping up next to me.
"Hey Alex come in here," yelled Ella.
A head pocked its way around the door jam and then the rest of her followed.
Oh God, I thought. She was HOT! Long brown hair framed a perfect face and was followed by a magnificent body.
Ella must have noticed me staring because she smirked. Just then Max walked in. she stopped dead in her tracks noticing the lively gathering in our room.
"Mom!" she cried running into her moms embrace. I noticed she had tear streaks on her face.
"Max," she sad. "Where have you been?
"I was… out flying," she said looking at me.
"Dr. M noticed the look, then noticed the tear stains in max's face.
"Did something happen between you and"
"Hey who wants' dinner," I said speaking over her. This was not something I wanted to talk about right now.
"Wait, did you say fly?" asked Ella's friend. I had forgotten she was there.
Max whirled around. Evidently she hadn't noticed her standing there.
"Um… just a figure of speech," she said hurriedly.
"Oh," said Alex.
I looked at her again. God she was perfect. But max was still better. I couldn't compare any girl to her. It wouldn't be fair. Max would win every time.
"Fang," said Max warningly, then blushed.
Wait hold on a sec. Did Max just blush? And why was she angry? It couldn't be because I was looking at Alex, could it? Did Max actually care about that. Maybe she did like me. Just was to scared to admit it. Yes that had to be it.
If Max got jealous by me just looking at her then I wondered what she would do if I started to date her. Maybe I could make Max jealous enough into admitting that she liked me. Hmm that was an idea. I might as well give it a try. I really wanted Ma to admit that she liked me.
Okay, this is not going to be like some other fluffy love story, note the title. You'll see what I mean in the next couple chapters. Please review. Even if you don't like it tell me what you want changed. Any spelling errors you noticed, anything. And again THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER FLUFFY LOVE STORY.
