Max POV
I wake up to my alarm clock blaring 'When I grow up' by Mayday Parade. I let it all play out. My tastes have changed, so this was my favorite song now.
Finally, the song is over, and Shadow is out of the shower. He walks in to find me sitting on the bed staring up at the ceiling. I get this sudden lurching in my stomach. So I run into the bathroom and start barfing my guts out. It was not a pleasant sight, especially since I hadn't eaten yet that day. But Shadow was there no the less holding my hair back. It was really sweet of him, even though I kept trying to push him back. When I finished I sat down on the cold floor and lean my head against the bathtub.
"You okay there, Max?" Shadow asks, concerned.
"Just fine after barfing my guts out before I even eat. So yes, I'm just peachy this fine morning," I hastily replied. Shadow stares at me for a second, debating what to do. Then he leaves the room, with pep in his step and out the door he goes. When he finally returns, he has a glass of water and some saltines in hand. He hands the stuff to me. I gulp down the water but, if I eat anything it'll just come back up. So I push them away and say, "I not in the mood for real food it'll probably make my throw up again."
He has a sad look in his eyes, 'cause he know were supposed to eat like 4000 calories a day, and right now I'm at zero, zip, Nada. Then he really thinks it through, about how if I eat it, it'll just come back up later on. I don't have to make a point of this because he understands my logic and knows I'm one stubborn ** when I want what I want. So I start getting up to make my way down stairs, but I guess Shadow has other ideas. Next thing I know, I'm being talked into sitting on the bed. So here I am now, laying on my bed while Shadow wakes up the kids, gets them ready for school, makes breakfast, drives them to school and all that other stuff while I'm passed out on the bed, dead to the world.
When I wake up next, shadow is sitting over me, looking like he's thinking something over. When he sees that my eyes are open, I guess his mind changed 'cause the foggy look was gone. He just leaves my room, again. This is getting really annoying because I feel totally better now. I start to get up, when Shadow walks in through the door carrying a tray with soup on it. He sees my trying to get out of bed, and immediately states, "You can't get out of bed yet, what if you're still sick? You could barf again, that's not a pretty sight," Shadow oh, so kindly reminded me.
But I ignored him anyway. I got up and told him I feel fine now. I wasn't used to being taken care of. If I was sick back in the old Flock, I'd just deal with it, "Probably just some weird one hour bug,"
"Max, we don't get sick. I've never been sick, ever. No one that I know that's an experiment has ever gotten sick. Even if it's only for a couple hours," Shadow tried to kindly respond.
So I was standing in the middle of my room, with Shadow staring at me. I take a couple steps, testing the waters, to make sure I don't get sick again. I don't. I walk out the door, Shadow obediently following. None of the kids are home yet. We have about 2, 3 hours tops, alone. All alone. Right when I'm about to turn around, my stomach rumbles. Shadow stares at me with one eyebrow raised. The look says 'I told you so, you should have eaten something'. I stare back with no emotion. "Make me something to eat," is all I say.
"What if I don't want to make you something to eat," he relies. Now I'm getting annoyed.
"Fine, I'll just make my OWN breakfast," I threatened, "I've burned down several houses before, including my time with the Flock," I choked out the last part, but it seemed like he was going to make me something to eat, so it was worth it.
"Okay, I'll go get you some food," he said quickly and disappeared to go down the stairs.
I go and sit at the table while Shadow looks in the fridge for something to make me. When he comes out he has some bread, cheese and butter. Ooh, grilled cheese, I hope he makes like 15. Then we can split it. So I'm just sitting at the table its really boring. Shadow is standing with his back to me, I'm secretly checking out his **, bur don't tell anybody. When he turns around I think he figured out what I was doing by the look on his face. My boyfriend is a total sex god.
"You think I'm a total sex god? Hm," oh, ** I think I said that out loud. Damn.
"No, I don't think you're a total sex god. Where ever did you get that silly idea?" I ask, trying, hoping there is no blush on my cheeks, and that he can't tell that I'm lying.
"It's okay for you to think I'm a total sex god. It's true and we both know it. You may not be okay admitting it, but I know you think its true. Max, I also think I'm a total sex god, you don't have to be embarrassed by it." He lectured me in his cocky bastard tone.
I ignored him. "You're burning my food," is all I say to him.
He turns around to check and sees that the food is actually burning. He didn't believe me. Whatever. He flips my grilled cheese, and stacks 10 onto a plate for me. He sets it on the table and sits next to me. I grab a slightly charred sandwich and shove it in my mouth. Shadow takes 2 of my sandwiches. I ignore him.
"I am sorry. That I made you feel embarrassed," Shadow looks into my eyes when he says this, I know I can't stay mad at him any longer. It's impossible.
"I forgive you." I say then lean into kiss him, softly on the lips.
Soon, Shadow is pulling me into his lap while were sitting at the table. His tongue slides against my bottom lip asking for permission. I open my mouth willingly. Our tongues battle it out, his wins like usual. Shadow stands, and I wrap my legs around his waist. Were still kissing while he starts walking us up stairs to our bedroom. He throws me down on the bed…
(FF bans MA, and I wouldn't write it if they didn't)
Shadow POV
I wake up about an hour later to see Max still sleeping. She was lying on her stomach so I could see her beautiful wings. The black and blue standing out more then ever, with the faint red in a deep crimson color. She's so beautiful, how is she mine? I wonder this all the time. How does she love me? I start tracing patterns on her back, just thinking about random things that pop into my head. Like, why was Max sick this morning? We don't get sick; I know that for a fact. I don't think there are any diseases that can affect us. I mean once the school took this girl and got her pregnant. She was barfing a lot, but she was human, so that's different. Yeah, I mean were always extra safe with those things. We're not ready to have little kids running around the house, we have Sasha and Poison and Bang. They're plenty for now. I noticed that Max was starting to move.
Max POV
I started moving around; I felt something tickling the skin of my back. I roll over and slowly open my eyes to see Shadow staring down at me. I then realize oh, so nicely that I'm still naked. That and that the kids should be home in a couple of minutes. I race out of bed and throw on one of Shadows band shirts; it goes down to my knees. I also put on a pair of his boxers, all the while Shadow is staring at me. I turn around and glare at him. he sighs and gets up. Comes over and gives me a little peck on the lips. Gets dressed in a pair of jeans. Nothing else. I start to walk out the door and head downstairs, when I feel something grab my waist. This hand turns me around, my lips smack into his'. Shadow and I start to have a nice little make out session again. His tongue sweeps across my bottom lip, asking silently for permission. I pull away before anything can get carried away.
"I don't want the kids to walk in like they did last time, it was so embarrassing," Shadow starts kissing my neck, "stop. We have to go and get the kids or else they will know something is wrong, maybe in a good way for us but not so much for them." I whisper to him. Shadow reluctantly pulled back. When I heard the clock chime 3, the kids will be home from. School soon. That's always good.
