thanks for your review urwrstnitemare heres a more still the same chapter keep telling my what you think. What do you think should happen next?

*I do not own the flock charaters only the plot of this story.

"But wouldn't you rather go to the gardens with me then this half wit?" Dylan called after us as he glared at Nick.

Nick freezes causing all three of us to stop. I feel his body tense up and I find myself worried about Dylan's safety.

" If she had wanted to go with you then she would have asked you sorry your good looks don't get you everything prick," Nick snapped.

When Nick said this it reminded me of how I'm really starting to get annoyed with all this bickering over me like I'm a scrap of meat or something. Gabrial reached out and tries to wrap his arm around my waist but Nick catches it before it can actually touch me.

"Keep your hands to yourself," Nick growled and I have to admit when he did it took my breath away and made me feel kind of faint in a really good way.

Dylan looks stunned and slightly afraid. I betted no one had ever stopped him before. However after a moment Dylan just lightly shook his head and glared at Nick while trying to look intimidating. I fight back a laugh Nudge tries to be discreet and Nick outright laughs at him.

" Oh please Dylan we both know I could kick your a-butt I was going to say butt," Nick said glancing at Nudge who just rolls her eyes. "Do I really have to embarrass you in front of all your daddy's guests?"

Dylan's turquoise eyes flash at Nick's mocking tone but before he can retaliate with another 'witty' retort Nick is propelling us towards the gardens. As soon as were out of Dylan's sight Nick slows down to a normal walking pace.

"What the hell was that all about? Im not some piece of meat you two can fight over. Honestly there are like a hundred girls in there that would love to be fought over by you two so just leave me out of it," I growled unable to just let my feelings go unheard.

Nick has the audacity to laugh and even more suprising is what he said.

"Max you are one of the most incredible women I have ever met before in my life," I looked down avoiding his gaze because I felt the hot flush of a deep blush fill my cheeks. He gently tilts my chin up with two fingers so Im looking straight into his gorgeous navy blue eyes.

"Please don't ever hide those beautiful eyes from me," He mummers softly as he leaned down. HOLY SHIT hes going to kiss me! He really is his mouth is bearly an inch away. Oh crap what if im a bad kisser? What if he decides he doesn't like me after this what if-

"AHEM!" Nudge practically shouted. Nick and I jump apart and stared down at our shoes like wed just be caught by a mother. Then I realized that was my little sister.

"Hey twerp what was that for?" I demand ruffling her hair which I know for a fact she hates.

She glares at me crossing her arms in front of her chest and lightly begins tapping her foot like shes waiting for something. A few seconds of silence tick by and I swear they were the longest seconds of my life.

"What!" I exclaimed giving into the pressure of a 13 year old wow how the mighty have fallen.

"Shouldn't you two be apologizing for almost ruining my perfect innocent eyesight with such disgusting displays of affection? I mean come on this isn't one of those sappy romance novels your always rea-" I cut her off by throwing my hand over her motor mouth.

Nick just gives me this quizzical look that has me turning bright red all over again. Its not what you think Im not some sappy girl who dreams of a fairy tale prince I just like the novels because the women always seem to have this way of manipulating the men to do whatever they want them too. Plus im a hopeless romantic so shoot me. Then Nick shrugs and sends me another dazzling half smile that makes my heart race.

"EMEH MEH CAH YUE RELEHE MEH MOUFH?" Nudge exclaims from underneath my hand.

Then when I ignore her she does what any good little sister would and kindly waits for me to respond. Yeah right the little brat sunk her pearly white teeth straight into the soft flesh of my hand.

"BI-BRAT!" I quickly fix my word choice as I shove her away from me and look at my hand and sure enough it was bleeding. BITCH I scream in my head unable to say it out loud because well its just not proper.

"Well I gave you a chance and you refused me its not my fault. Im gonna go find mom have fun smooching but just know eyes are everywhere," She added her version of a creepy ghost sound and sauntered off to the ball room.

"here let me see that," Nick gently grasped my hand and examined the small puncture wounds. "Yeow got quite the set of teeth there now doesn't she?" He asks jokingly.

I just glare at him.

"I don't know lets go see how you like it." He laughs and the suprises me by leaning down and gently kissing the wound.

The action stole my breath away.

"Feel any better now?" He asked not yet taking his lips from my hand so I felt and heard his smile.

"N-n-no it feels worse why would you do such a ridiculous thing?" I demanded as I tried to get control of my emotions.

He just looks up at me smirks and gently releases my hand. We start talking about random topics from normal ball gossip to why the stars shine so brightly. It seemed that even when we disagreed and argued about things we could still make each other laugh. Everything just seemed to come so naturally between us. It was refreshing to have someone who at least sort of understood my need for independence.

"I have a brother named Iggy hes a little older then Nudge but I think theyd get along great because she talks way to much, no offense" I laugh and shake my head.

"Oh no offense taken no truer statement could be said about my sister," I joke loving how relaxing it was as we talked.

"and my brother doesn't talk enough," He finishes playfully glaring at me.

It seemed like the walk thru the garden just floated away and soon enough we were back in the ball room making fun of all the big poofy dresses.

"Personally I much prefer your dress to all of theirs," Nick mummers as he runs his gaze over me.

I fight the urge to fidget with it under his intense gaze. "Thank you most people will call me a harlot but really that doesn't matter to me," I mummer back offering him a small smile.

His breath catches and he just stares at me for a second. "What? What is it? Is there something wrong with the dress or do I have something in my teeth?" I ask franticly.

"no nothing like that. Its just when you smile its so amazing you really should do it more often," His words cause another deep blush.

What is wrong with me? I don't fall for guys in two seconds. Love at first sight is just a fairytale and and and I just don't like him like that. Do I? The question fills my mind and I try not to look into Nicks eyes because something about them makes me want to spill my deepest secrets to him.

"Max may I please have this dance? Your mother insists," Dylan's deep voice inturupts my thoughts and I cant help but glare at him.

Damn him for getting my mother in this. In what world could I say no now?

"Why of course." I reply sweetly even though Im imagining a thousand of the most painful ways I could possibly kill him while he gently places my hand on his arm. Nicks face is an expressionless mask but I see the dark rage clouding his eyes. Honestly if looks could kill none of my thought up death scenes would be necessary.

After my dance with Dylan I find it impossible to get away from him. He keeps dragging me to meet new people and honestly I DO NOT WANT TO MEET THESE STUCK UP PRISSY SNOBS! I look around for Nick thinking maybe he can be my hero again and save me from this terrible fate only to see him talking to the biggest harlot of our society. Lissa Princept maybe the daughter of an earl but she has the reputation of a street walker.

My lip curls as I watch her batt her long thick eyelashes at him and gaze at him adoringly. Jealousy builds up inside me and I grab Dylan by the arm and steer him towards them.

"Um Max what are you doing those are very important people," Dylan stammer in a stressed sweet tone waving apologetically at the couple we, well I guess I, stormed away from.

"Yeah yeah yeah save your ass kissing for later please," I growl hoping to reach Lissa before she does something to really piss me off.

"Um actually Max my dad is about to make an anouncement and I really need to be up there when he gives it." Dylan struggles out of my hold but I don't stop . What do I care about some dumb announcement?

"Attention all honorary guests," Jeb calls out and everyone including Lissa looks up at him. "It is my great honor to announce my sons engagement." a shocked gasp spreads though the crowd but I bearly pause still trying to get to Lissa and Nick.

"My son Dylan Malroy is engaged to the women of his choosing with her parents permission of course. This lucky women is none other then miss Maxium Ride."

Now I freeze. WHAT THE HELL. I hear in my head only to realize someone else actually said it out loud. Nick is gazing at me with his mouth just closing and pain darkening his deep blue eyes.
