By Your Side

Chapter 4


Max awoke to the sound of the phone ringing. Shifting out of Fang's strong arms she wrapped the blanket around her and reached for the phone.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Max, it's mom." Dr. Martinez replied.

"Hey mom what's up?" Max replied.

Fang shifted to lay on his side facing Max. Crawling over to her he wrapped his arms around her waist and started kissing up her back. Max tried to shoo him away but he was unrelenting.

"Sweetie, the kids and I have decided to have a little campout here on the beach. I called to see if you and Fang wanted to join us." she replied.

"Um, I don't know Fang and I were just kinda hanging out."

"Alright, well if you change your mind you know where to find us."

"K, bye mom." they both hung up.

When Max put the phone down Fang tighten his hold on her and pulled her back on top of him. She yelped in surprise.

"So what was that about?" Fang asked running his hand over her stomach.

"The others are having a campout on the beach tonight." she explained.

"I hope you said no." he said.

"Of coarse I did. I'd much rather spend the night here with you." Max said turning around to lie on her stomach.

"And I'd rather spend the night here with you, too." He said smiling. She smiled back then laid her head on his chest. Listening to his heart beat her eyelids began to grow heavy and she soon drifted to sleep.

When she was finally asleep, Fang carefully removed her from his chest and tucked her in. Kissing her on the forehead, he turned to get dressed and headed downstairs to put together a little surprise.


That Night

Max woke with a start at the sound of the door bell. Groggily she looked at the clock to see it was 8:00 pm. She could see the sun beginning to disappear on the horizon and slowly sat up clutching the blanket to her chest. Getting up she dressed in a pair of black sweatpants and Fang's black Hurley hoody, which was too big for her, but she liked it that way.

Walking down the stairs she hit the bottom step just as Fang was closing the door. She could smell a wonderful aroma in the air. When Fang turned around, Max saw the sorce of the smell, a box of Chinese food from her favorite restraunt.

"Hey." he said. "I thought you might be hungry."

She smiled and nodded.

She followed him into the living room, where she was surprised with what she saw. A large comforter was laid out on the floor next to a lit fireplace and in front of the large TV. Her smile grew.

Max walked over and sat next to Fang where he was setting out all the food. She looked it over. All her favorites. "What brought this on?" she asked.

"I just thought since we have the house to ourselves we should have our own little campout. So I went out and got your favorite movies and snacks and then ordered dinner." He explained.

"Have I ever told you how much I don't deserve you?" Max said. Fang smirked.

"Have I ever told you how good you look in my shirt." She blushed. He chuckled and handed her a tray of food.

"What movies did you get?" she asked, taking a bit of her sesame chicken.

"Last Holiday, Pirates of the Carribean 3, and Jurassic park 1-3." he said.

"Well we haven't seen Jurassic park in a while." she said.

"That's what I said."

Putting the movie in they both sat back and got comfortable.

"How does a girl like me get so lucky to have a man like Fang." Max thought.


Fang's POV

We were half way through the third movie when I looked over at Max to see her sleeping. She is so beautiful. And she really does look good in my hoody. She said she doesn't know what she did to deserve someone like me, but really it's the other way around. Smiling to myself I turned off the TV and carefully lifted her in my arms. She stirred slightly.

Carrying her to her room, I gently laid her on the bed and crawled in next to her wrapping her in my arms and drifting off to sleep.
