Previously on 20 Years:
"Are you married, engaged, have a girlfriend?" Max blurted out, impulsively.
Taken by surprise Fang's eyes widened, but quickly went back to normal. He smiled.
"I am not married, engaged or have a girlfriend. I know you are going to ask if I have had girlfriends, the answer is yes. But they all had the same problem."
"Oh really? What's that?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.
"They weren't you." He stated, not missing a beat. His gaze never left hers.
Now on to Chapter 4-
"Now I know I never should have left. I will always regret leaving you," He glances at Skye and smiles. "And our beautiful daughter."
Max stares at him for a moment then looked down and shook her head. She slowly looked up at him with disbelieving eyes.
"I can't believe you." She said, her voice cold as ice. "That you would think that after 20 years that you could just come here and apologize and get back in my good graces. You be trippin'. I raised Skye without you for 19 years and where were you? With my bitchy clone and your gang of misfit mutants, that's where." She spat out angrily.
"You know, I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you. For what you did to me." Her eyes flit over to her daughter. "To us." Max admitted, glaring up at Fang.
"Max, I want to make this work and I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you for what I did. Because I love you and I will never stop loving you. Do you love me still?"
"I do, I have loved you since we were 14 and I never stopped. But I don't think we can make this work."
"Then, I have one more question for you. If you say no, I will leave; no hard feelings, and you will never see me again. Okay?"
"Okay." She sighs, watching him.
Fang kneels down to one knee and asks "Max, I have loved you since we were 12 and I will keeping loving you for the rest of my life. So," he reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a little midnight blue box and flips the lid. "Will you marry me?"
Sorry for taking soooooo long to update. (lol almost a year.) I will start updating more often now that I found out what I have (health wise) and that I can start to get better. (hopefully.)
