Chapter 4
MAX POV
I couldn't stop thinking of his kiss. I think I've used like twenty pages of my book on Fang. I wanted to be more than his friend, but who would want to have a deaf and mute girlfriend? Fang deserved a sweet girl who can talk and listen. It's what I kept telling myself on the drive to school. My brothers went on a camping trip with dad. I didn't want to go. When I parked my truck and got off. I felt someone kick my back. I fell to the ground and looked up. I saw a girl with blond hair and another one with red hair. They're pretty slutty to me. They had reallly short skirts and a shirt that showed their belly buttons. The redhead said something and I read her lips. I think she said,
"No one steals a boyfriend from me! Especially someone who can't listen or talk!" The blond laughed and they kept touching my hair or would tease me. What can I say, I can read lips very well.
"Too bad he isn't here to help you," I think is what the redhead said. I got mad and jumped up from the floor. They both laughed and i pounced on the blonde. I fell on her stomach, sitting down and I punched her jaw pretty hard. She spit out blood and tried to slap me. I grabbed her wrist and twisted it. She started to say something and the redhead was pulling me off. I punched the blonde once more and stood up. Making the redhead jump back. I glared at her and she started to back away. There was a crowd around us now. I swung my left leg to her face and it hit her nose. She fell on the floor clutching her nose. There were tears running down her cheeks and she started to say something. I learned to fight ever since I was five. I was about to punch the red headed slut, when a rough hand grabbed my fist. I turned around and saw Fang. He had wide eyes. I struggled against his grasp but he gripped my waist and led me away from the scene. He took my keys from my sweater pocket and took me led me inside the car. He got inside and turned on the car. He kept shaking his head while he drove. We arrived at a beach. He got off and opened my door. I looked away and he wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me out of the truck and I struggled against him. He let go of me and locked the car.
What was that? he signaled to me.
I narrowed my eyes and responded, they kept bothering me and no one messes with me.
He rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist. Fang pulled me closer and I felt my cheeks get hot. Fang smirked and I frowned. He tilted my chin up and crashed his lips against mine. My eyes fluttered shut and I wrapped my arms around his neck, angling our heads even more. I realized what I was doing and pulled away. His eyes looked sad and Fang looked down. I shook his shoulders gently until he looked into my eyes.
I can't do this with you, I signaled. His eyes turned from sadness to anger. He closed his eyes and signaled to me;
You can't do this with me? If you can't do this with me, then why did you kiss me the other day?
I sighed and turned around in frustration. He stood in front of me and I turned away. I responded, still staring at the sea.
Why would you want to date someone who can't hear or talk?
I want you... because I love you! He responded. My eyes widened and I stepped back. He followed me. I walked backwards until I bumped into my truck. He stood in front of me and he put his hands on either side of my head. Fang narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
I don't know what to say, I responded.
He grabbed one of my hands and pressed it against his chest. Where his heart is.
My heart beats for you. I fell in love with you when I first saw you, he signaled to me. I love him too. I closed my eyes and signaled to him, I love you too and fell in love with you when we met… But I can't even tell you that. I felt tears running down my cheeks. He brushed away my tears and tucked my hair behind my ear. He smiled a crooked smile that made my heart leap.
I love you the way you are. I even broke up with the redhead you beat up, the next day after school, he said. My mouth was hanging open and I smiled. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in and pressed my mouth against his. I pulled away after a second. He frowned and I smiled.
I could give us a try? I signaled with a shrug. He looked up and smiled. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against his chest. I buried my face in the crook of his neck. I smiled and he shivered. I never thought I would fall in love. Fang pulled away and pecked my lips. He asked me if I wanted to go back to school. I nodded my head. He smiled and smirked. I blushed and got in the car.
Do you want to go on a date with me? he asked after he got on the driver's seat. I nodded.
I'll pick you up at seven tonight, he responded.
Where would we be going? I asked.
It's a surprise, he responded. I frowned and he smiled. We got to school on time for lunch. Fang draped his arm around my shoulder. I looked up at him and he winked at me. When we got to our table my brothers were staring at us with mouths hanging open. Ari had his eyes narrowed. Ella and Nudge were smiling from ear to ear.
So you're dating now? asked Ella. We both nodded and Nudge asked; when are you going on a date?
Tonight, responded Fang. Nudge and Ella jumped up and signaled;
Can we dress you up Max? Please?
My eyes widened and I face-palmed. I shook my head. And they gave me puppy eyes. I still shook my head.
Please? We've never dressed you up before, signaled Nudge. Ella nodded her head and I stared at the guys. Iggy had his hand over his mouth and Ari was staring at Fang with narrowed eyes. I sighed and nodded. They jumped up and down. Ari stood up and placed his hands flat on the table. He leaned across the table, until he was in front of Fang's face. Uh-oh.
