Hey Guys! New chapter for September's Fall. Here's a little heads-up for a fellow-member:
AliceWillbeAlice: I don't know what's going on with your songs. It wasn't exactly the problem that happened with mine. Maybe you should go to BestBuy Costumer Service. That's what I did, even though they didn't even help me. If they don't know what to do then go and look up on the internet different things that are related to your problem. I tried that, and my problem was fixed like Snap!
By the way, I'd just liked to thank you soooooooo much for always reviewing and being a really cool person! Thanks, again!
Disclamer: I don't own Maximum Ride.
Sophi's POV
" Mommy, d'you think Daddy's friends have kids?" Kelly asked, as I braided her hair into one silky braid.
" I don't know, Kells. Maybe, you never know, Kelly. Let's just hope so, okay? But if they don't, just talk to them. I'm sure they're nice people, okay?" I said, brushing the bouncy bangs in front her forehead. She smiled and nodded, causing them to bounce uncontrollably. I chuckled and lifted her up onto my hip, carrying her out to the large, high-tech living room.
" Ready?" Keez asked, smiling at me and Kelly. I nodded, and so did Kelly. I wore a dark blue chiffon dress with a white layer, as Kelly wore a baby blue, knee-length, pleated bodice with a sash.
" Daddy, what're their names?" Kelly asked, looking up, looking as cute as ever. Keez smiled and sat next to her, placing his elbows on his thighs, locking his hands together.
" Well, sweetie. It's kind of complicated. I think it's best if you just find out." He said, smiling and wrapping an arm around her tiny waist, pulling her more closer to him. She giggled and wrapped her skinny arms around his neck.
" Okay," Kelly said sweetly, then let go of him and ran off to the kitchen. I placed my hands on my hips and gaped at him through an appaled look.
" What?" He asked, looking suprised. I rolled my eyes and stood right in his face.
" Pardon me, Keez. But why exactly can't you tell my daughter your friends' names?" I asked, sticking my face all up in his. He smirked and swung an arm around my waist, and dipping me, so now, he had total control. He smirked at me and shifted his eyes from my eyes to my lips, again and again, as I did the same to him.
" Mmmm," I moaned, as his mouth brushed rapidly agaisnt mine, bringing great pleasure into me. I could feel him smile lightly agaisnt my lips, causing me to do the same. I felt his strong, yet gentle hand coming up my bare leg, making me shiver delightfully.
" Mommy? Daddy? What're you doing?" I let go of Keez's lips, but he wouldn't take 'No' for an answer, so he started planting light kisses to the side of my neck.
" Nothing," I stalled, as I glowered at the devious little five-year old. She giggled and trotted off into the bathroom. I sighed. Curse the power of echolocation.
" At least we got rid of her for a few minutes." Keez whispered agaisnt the skin. By this time, he had reached my cleavage, which caused me to moan, quite loudly.
" Keez, I don't think we should do this now." I said, pushing him gently, yet reluctantly. He sighed, hanging his head, as I looked away.
" Okay," He whispered. I turned to him, as he smiled, before pecking my lips and sitting me down. He got up and walked towards the kitchen.
That's when I heard metal or something like a lock shifting around here and there. I snapped my head towards the doorknob, and my eyes widened. It was literally unlocking on it's own. I gasped and zoomed behind the couch.
" Mommy? Want me to get that?" I heard Kelly ask meakly from the bathoom door. I gasped and started for her, but then the door opened completely, only to show a dark-skinned woman, probably about seventeen or eighteen, in a cute little dark purple chiffon dress.
" Monique! You know you're not supposed to just unlock everyone's doors without asking!" A woman about my age yelled as she stood next to Monique. She had a double stroller with her, a nice dark blue with a sleeping infant inside, under a nice baby-blue blanket. She had blond hair, and a nice mauve taupe-colored blouse, with black dress pants. She turned to me and smiled lightly.
" Can we come in?" She asked, smling hesitantly. I smiled and rose out from behind the couch and nodded, gesturing to inside the loft-like apartment. She brought the stroller through the door and the Monique followed, as another girl, bright-blond teenager, bright pink dress, followed her as well.
" Hi!" She said brightly, waving her hand enthusiastically. I smiled and held out my hand.
" Hello," I said, in a friendly voice.
" Guys, I think it's safe!" She yelled out towards the hallway. Soon, a boy, just about the blondie's age came in, with a dark-red dress shirt and black pants, with spiked up hair.
" Hi." He said, smiling at me. I smiled back. After that, two men walked in, one with another infant in his arms, as he rubbed the tip of his nose with the child's. The other just sullen. He had tannish hair, with a nice dark green, speck-pattern dress shirt, and black pants. His hands were in his pockets and his sunglassed eyes were glued to the dark carpet. I couldn't get much of a good look of his face, so I didn't say anything to him.
" Hey there." I said, and held out my hand towards the man with the infant in his arms. He turned and smiled at me, then carefully held out his hand and shook mine.
" Hey." He said, sat next to the woman with the double stroller and slowly placed the baby behind the other.
" My name's Max." The woman said, smiling and getting up, holding her hand out to me. I smiled and shook it.
" Hi, my name's Sophia Martin. Well, soon to be, anyway." I said, holding up my left hand for her to see the engagement ring. She smiled and examined it, as the other two girls rushed over and examined it as well.
" It's really pretty." The blondie said, as she looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back at her looked around for Kelly. I'd completely forgotten about her.
" Kelly?" I called. I felt a hand tug on my dress. I looked down and smiled.
" Kelly, these nice people are daddy's freinds. Ya wanna say hi?" I asked her and she immediately ran towards the blond bloke.
" Hi, my name is Kelly. What's yours?" She asked eargerly. Oh my God, her first crush. The boy smiled.
" My name's Andrew." He said and patted her head. She smiled and trotted over towards the Monique and the blondie.
" Hi, what's your names?" She asked, looking as cute as ever.
" I'm Monique and that's Stella." Monique said, gesturing to her and then to the blondie.
" I'm Andrew's little sister." Stella said, and smiled at Kelly. She smiled back and trotted off towards Max and the dark-haired man.
" Hi," She whispered, giving consideration towards the babies. I smiled.
" Hi, sweetie. My name's Max and this is Jesse." Max said, gesturing to herself and to Jesse. He smiled at Kelly, as she smiled back. His hair was a nice little jet-black color. The front stood out in a shaggy way, almost covering his eyes and the back and sides were semi-shaggy as well. Yet short. He wore a dark-blue dress shirt, with black dress pants. I smiled as Kelly started a conversation with them, and turned to the other man. He was sitting on the other couch, elbows on his thighs, as he stared down at the dark carpet. I frowned and sat next to him, feeling concerned.
" You okay?" I asked, dipping my head a bit to see his face. He still wore those sunglasses. He sighed and shook his head. I placed my hand over his shoulder and turned him around.
" You can tell me." I said, sounding sincere. He sighed and looked back down.
" I loved her." He muttered. I frowned even more and turned back around.
" Who?" I persisted.
" No one." He said and got up, walking towards the bathroom. Suddenly, Keez came out from the other side of the hallway.
" J, my man!" He held out his arms, but 'J' just ignored him and walked into the bathroom. Keez turned to the rest of us.
" What's with him?" He asked. Max and the rest shook their heads and sighed.
" Sorry." Max said, sounding disappointed.
" It's just something happened a couple years back. He's still not over it." She said, and turned back to Kelly. I stood up and walked over to Keez, and wrapped my arms around his neck resting my cheek agaisnt his shoulder.
" I tried to help him." I shrugged. Keez stroked my hair and told me it was okay.
" Now come one, everybody! The awesome food made by my lovely Mrs. Martin isn't gonna eat itself!" Keez called all through the living room. The babies were already awake by now, so it was no problem.
" Hey, Soph. Thanks for letting us stay here 'til the wedding." Max said, as she unpacked her suitcase. She already had things ready, so then later tomorrow, we could all travel together towards the hotel. I smiled.
" Your welcome. Remember, if you guys ever need anything, me and Keez are just acrtoss the hall. Alright, no need to worry." I said, patting her hand. She smiled.
" Thanks." She said, and lied down on the tan bed. I smiled at her before I walked out of the guest room, closing the door behind me, and then walking over towards the girls room. Monique, Stella, and Kelly were all staying in the same room. I walked in and found them all laughing at a scene in a movie from the TV. I smiled and silently closed the door again.
I walked towards the other room, where Andrew is staying, he said he prefered to be alone and we placed him in the extra guest room. I knocked on the door and heard shuffling of feet.
" Hello?" A cute bed-head Andrew asked, as he tiredly wiped at his eyes.
" Sorry, there Andrew. I was just checking." I said and ruffled his pale hair. He smiled sleepily at me, his eyes closed looking even cuter and goofier than before and I laughed, before he closed the door and I walked off towards the last room to check on. Jake's. At least, that's what Max said he changed his name to. I knocked on the door, and expedted no answer. Until sudenly, right when I was turning around to leave, the door opened to a shirtless and pantsless Jake. I gasped and quickly spun around, covering my face with my right hand.
" I didn't see anything!" I yelped. I felt a hand rest on my shoulder and pull me into the room. He spun me around so I could face him. He still wore those sunglasses. I tilted my head and raised my hands to take them off. Suprisingly, he allowed it. I placed my fingers over the sides and pulled them off, which only revealed his closed eyelids.
" Open 'em." I ordered. He scowled and shook his head. I narrowed my eyes at him got all up in his face.
" O--pen them..." I ordered again, he sighed, whioch tickled my nose and finally opened his eyes, causing me to gasp. They were completely white. No iris, pupil...nothing.
" See? I'm a freak. You're already scared of me, and I haven't even known you for a whole day yet." He said glumly, then turned around and I gasped again. Two huge, dark-grey wings were tucked agaisnt the sides of his spine. I shook my head, backing away towards the wall, just hoping this wasn't true.
" Now you know." He whispered. I kept shaking my head, slwoly and sadly, just hoping this wasn't. Hoping this was all a dream. That the last six years were just a dream. A complete dream.
" It's not..." He whispered. I snapped my head to see he had sped next to me.
" I found you again." He whispered into my ear. I could just feel the smile in his voice. I quickly collapsed in front of him and backed away on my hands.
" No...I can't anymore, Iggy. I just can't... Stop! Get away from me!" I yelled, crawling out of there, knowing no one could hear me through the sound-proof walls and doors. I could already hear his footsteps running towards me. I shot up and quickly ran towards me and Kee'z room, instantly slamming the door.
" Soph? Ya okay?" I heard Keez's voice call from the shower in the bathroom. I saw the steam and gulped. I had to do it. I didn't care if it was better to do this after the wedding. I just had to do it. For our marriage.
Oh no... Oh no... What? What's gonna happen? Heh. I kinda like this chapter. But no really. Just one more week 'til the marriage. You are all officially invited! Whoo!
