Oh, and one more thing. I'll update as often as I can, but I can't guarentee it will be very often. You see, I've started packing, and I'm set to move on September 1st...then there's the settling in, and the school registration which is on the same day...I'm going into grade 9 and it may be a little difficult for me to update since I've become so busy. But again, I'll try for as often as I can.
Anyhoo, enjoy! (Sorry for the long A/N!)
Disclaimer: I don't, under any circumstances, own Max Ride or the oh-so-amazing Fang
Fang: I am amazing, aren't I?
Me: STFU! (=
Chapter 3: Stupid Lamp Post
Max's POV
We stopped a block away from home, landing where we saw that no one was outside to see us. I took Fang's hand in mine, smiling for what seemed like the 1 millionth time I've smiled today.
We started walking towards the direction of home, me trudging through the grass, Fang walking on the sidewalk, when my phone rang. I whipped it out of my pocket and glanced at the screen. Mom.
"Hey mom, what's up?" I asked, answering the phone.
"Hunny, I'm going to be a little late today. I had an emergency patient come in. I'll be home in around an hour or two, alright?"
"Alrighty, Mom, take your time. F- I'll be fine!" I made sure to leave Fang out of anything I said...I wanted him to be a surprise for everyone. "Bye Mom! Love you!" I snapped my phone shut. Wait a minute...I flipped it open again and texted everyone at once: Iggy, Ella, Nudge, Angel, Gazzy...
hey evry1! ive got a surprise! meet me at my place! I showed the text to Fang before I sent it. He smiled. Right away, I got responses.
Nudge: Ou! A surprise! I'll be there soon!
Angel: FINALLY! I'll be there ASAP! Creep how it seemed like she knew what was gonna happen...
Gazzy: b there soon!
Iggy: whts up? k be there in 30.
Ella: what is it max? I'll be there.
Yay! They were all coming! Now to get home...I quickly started texting responses..when Fang abruptly grabbed my arm.
"Watch out, Max!" He pulled me out of the way and into his arms just as I looked up and saw that pole of a steetlamp.
"Whoa!" I glared at the lamp, blushing scarlett and refusing to meet Fang's gaze. "Stupid lamp post!" I muttered. I felt his laugh vibrate through his chest, and I blushed even deeper.
"Maybe we should wait until you're done texting before we continue..." He suggested, ending with a chuckle. I turned towards him, trying to make myself glare...but the expression melted as soon as I saw his eyes. They were filled with amusement...but also something else. They were filled with love.
Fang's POV
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Max glare hatefully at the pole, as if it was it's fault that she had almost walked right into it. She turned her glare towards me just as I had suggested for us to stop while she texted. But just as her eyes met mine, the look was replaced with something full of awe. I looked down at her, my whole body warming up.
"I-I..Fang, I love you." She whispered. I smiled.
"I know." Her expression changed to mock anger. She snorted, a sound that would've been unattractive on any other girl, but was totally cute on this one.
"Jerk." I smiled.
"Love you too, loser." I responded, swooping low to kiss her. She smiled against my lips, but pulled away before the kiss could go anywhere.
"Fang, we need to get home! I wanna get there before anyone else does!" Max said excitedly.
"Alright, hun." I replied, kissing her one last time before taking her hand and venturing towards her house once more. Boy, oh boy. I couldn't wait 'till we got there. We had a lot of catching up to do.
A/N: Ew. I know, it's a sucky chapter. And pretty short, too. But cut me some slack, I've been packing all day, and it's really frustrating. I kinda have a headache at the moment...but to make up for this chapter, I'll write another one ASAP. Thanks again to everyone!
