Hey everyone! Here's the second chapter as promised! Oh and also I'm taking suggestions for Fang's nick name!
We ended up eating at a small patio café 5 minutes from where we were staying. The younger kids ate breakfast in a rush, excited to go down to the beach. We found a secluded beach after flying around the island, which took about 10 minutes thanks to being mutant bird kids and all. It was so great to just lie in the sun and soak in some vitamin D.
I sat up to check if everyone was ok after a few minutes, we might be on holiday but these kids could get in heaps of trouble. I saw Iggy, Gazzy and Nudge playing Marco-Polo and Fang was helping Angel build a sand castle. It was surprisingly adorable to watch. Did I really just say adorable?
Angel turned when she heard my thoughts directed towards her and Fang.
"Come join us Max!" Angel called happily. I rolled my eyes and got up, Fang looked smug, but for anyone who didn't know him good enough it looked almost like any other of his expressions, but if you looked carefully his one eye brow was slightly raised and there was a certain glint in his eye. I
Sat down next to Angel who had resumed building one of the 5 towers that made up the castle and Fang sitting across from me who was working on a wall that connected them and I started to work on the wall in front of me. It was around noon when we decided that Fang and I would go get lunch for everyone from a snack bar on the beach a few miles away, it wouldn't take us long to fly there. I went to put on a light jacket that would conceal my wings; Fang did the same before we took off. Again it was silent, not uncomfortably so but I decided to liven it up a bit.
"Fang?" I call up to him. He looked down at me and slightly inclined his head to tell me to continue.
"What were you doing on your laptop today? You know, before I came out of the shower?"
He was quiet for a moment, pensive almost before replying,
"Nothing, really just updating my blog." He sounded to calm for my liking. What would he be writing about that he didn't want me to see?
"Then why did you close it before I could see it? And I hate to be like one of those pushy girlfriends and all but it's kind of bugging me!" I said to him, looking up to see that he was only a few feet above me now, matching the motions of my wings to his.
"Max, it's really nothing to worry about. Please trust me on this!" He paused for a second before lamely trying to change the subject by pointing out that the snack bar was dead ahead.
We landed in some trees away from the beach, as I began to walk towards our destination I felt Fang's tough and strong hand grab onto mine, giving it a tight squeeze before continuing to walk.
The man running the snack bar was about 17 with red hair (only red headed girls bug me, but unless Fang is still in the closet, I'm good!), if I didn't have Fang in my life I would've thought he was a little cute, but was nothing really to look at with Fang holding my hand.
"Hi, what can I get for you?" the guy said with a big smile on his face. Next to me I felt Fang tense and looked to see a none to friendly frown on his face.
"Yes, can we get 15 hot dogs, 10 burgers, 3 slushies, 2 cokes and a root beer?" I asked smiling also putting strain on the 'we'. He looked shocked for a moment and then recovered.
"Bring some back for some friends?" the guy, who I just realized was wearing a name tag that stated his name was Connor.
I smiled and nodded.
He totaled it up once he had out large order ready.
"Can we get this like in a bag or something? We've got a ways to walk." I asked the smile on my face was starting to hurt. I look to see where Fang had gone because I had to use both hands to find my Max Ride card to pay. He was standing a few feet away reading a sign stapled on a pole.
Once Connor had place the food in a take-out bag, I picked it up and went to Fang.
The flyer was advertising a beach BQQ and dance this Friday.
Fang turned to me and nodded his head to flyer, "You wanna go to this thing?"
Maybe the flock, at least Fang hadn't forgotten my birthday.
"Sure why not? The flock will have fun." I shrugged looking at his black eyes which held their normal mask of emotionlessness.
"Nah, just you and me, we haven't been on a date since the time the M-Geeks attacked." He said casually.
I smiled, took his hand and began walking; I didn't have to tell him I like the idea.
*************** ****************
The day had passed quickly peacefully, well as peacefully as a day spent with 5 other mutant bird kids can be. Fang was in the shower and I'd put the younger kids to bed, Iggy was watching a movie in his room. I decided to sneak on to Fang's computer; it had been bugging me all day! He never hides things from me! He had just stepped into the shower so I knew I had about 15 minutes at most.
As stealthily as I could I quickly logged on and went to his blog site, clicking on his most recent entry.
Fang's blog
Hello devoted readers! Nothing too much happening, we've decided to take a week or two of vacation, well really until the world is in trouble again! Which face it can't be long now. I personally have been having a great time, been spending my days with, yes that's right, my new girlfriend. I hate to sound like a weenie but I've been in love with her for years now, and she's finally found it in her too big a heart to love back. Guys, there is no better feeling out there. Anyways you probably figured out who it is but I'm still not posting her name, it's her birthday this Friday and I can't decide what to get her, is jewelry too much? Close aren't very personal and she's just not that kind of girl. I did get she might like this one thing but I'm not sure, planning on taking her out though.
Got to go! Max is getting out of the shower.
Fang.
Somewhere in the middle of all this a tear had fallen down my cheek, I hastily wiped it away, hating my weakness. But aawww! I couldn't believe that Fang had loved me for years and also that he posts that he loved me online before actually saying out loud. Although we didn't say too much of that mushy, mushy crap out loud we just kind of knew. And where had he gotten the time to get me a present? And the money? He was always with the flock and we all depended on the Max card. Also he had better make up his mind quick it was already Thursday.
I quickly clicked out of the website, and closed his computer when I heard the shower turn off. I placed it where it had originally been and sat on the bed pretending to watch some movie about some chick movie from Phoenix to some little town called Forks. When Fang came out I was actually getting into the movie. It was weird I normally didn't like this kind of stuff. Fang grabbed his computer and sat down next to me. Remembering what I had just read on his blog I turned and hugged him.
He seemed confused for a minute but then hugged me back.
"What's this for?" he asked confused.
I looked up at him and gave him a quick kiss.
"For being you," pulling him in for a longer kiss. His kisses always showed how he felt, and they were amazing, after the first couple of make outs I started to realize this.
I finished watching the movie and Fang finished on his laptop, he took me in his arms and we ended up falling asleep just like that, on the covers and my head resting on Fang's chest. I've slept in all kinds of place, trees, the ground, cave floors, isolation tanks, cages, some beds, you name it and I've probably slept there, but this had to be my favorite.
Review please! Also there will only be another chapter or 2 of this fax fluffiness until the main plot gets underway! So tell me what you think, love, hate or want to see! Just please review! Even if you just put a little smiley face or whatever! Also I'm thinking of having Iggy have a romance with a character I'll be introducing or if you want him to be with an already existing character (Ella, Nudge?)
Have a great Sunday!
