Okay, I couldn't wait to see what happened, so as soon as I published Ch. 3 I started typing this one. I know everyone is dying to see Max's reaction, right? So am I!!! So hear you go, hope you enjoy it. And Ch. 3 got reviews, so I felt like they deserved another chapter. I was going to wait until Wendsday but I found time.
That was definitely....unexpected. Fang just stared at me with those midnight eyes, wow, searching for answers. He has ways of making girls lost in those eyes. "Max." He stepped closer. I didn't really have feelings for him, did I? He was my best friend, but, I...how complicated could this be?
I swallowed hard. My mind was swarming, I couldn't think straight. I wanted to slap some sence into myself. Almost got done with that trail? Fang stepped closer.
"Max." He reached up and caressed my cheek. "Max." His lips were almost touching mine. I felt his warm breath on my cheek.
"Got it!" Ella yelled, running into the clearing, her arms full of firewood. She froze, here eyes flickering between Fang and me. "Um, sorry." Her face turned red.
"It's okay," I said. "Need some help?" I walked over and took half of the wood. Angel and Nudge walked out, both holding back laughs. I shot them a look. Mom and Gabriella came back with baskets full of fruit. Gabriella was trying to sooth crying Akila. Little Akila wouldn't come to me, Nudge, Angel, Ella, but Fang. He seemed hesitant at first, but finally agreed and took Akila.
"So, is Fang your boyfriend?" Ella asked. We were on the jet going to Haiti, everyone ignoring my complaints. She sat down beside me.
I faked a laugh. "Fang? My boyfriend? No." She didn't seem convinced.
"Really Max?"
"If I can look into your eyes and say 'I don't love Fang' without giggling or smiling, it's true." I looked into Ella's eyes. "I don't love Fang. You see? I had a straight face. It's true--I don't like Fang. Happy?"
Ella rolled her eyes. "Whatever. But he likes you. I see the way he looks at you."
"I know he likes me. He told me last night, that he loved me."
"He doesn't love you, Max. He's in love with you!"
I flicked some powder from my funnel cake in her face.
"Well, it's true!" she said, wiping the powder of her nose. "Anyway, I think you better go get Akila. Fang looks like he's gonna pass out."
I looked at Fang. He was trying to play with Akila, and tried to stay awake. Akila was sticking to Fang like glue. Not only did she insist of sleeping right next to him, anytime he or Gabriella tried to move her, she would crawl back to him. He woke at least twice every hour to play with her or move her so he wouldn't roll over her.
"That baby has the most energy I've ever seen."
Much more energy then Fang. A lot more.
"She's addicted to Fang. She only came to Gabriella once last night before they went to bed. I think a little eight-month-old has a crush on a fourteen-year-old."
I burst out laughing. "If that baby throws a diva fit and breaks up with him I'll really be amazed."
I looked behind me. Nudge and Angel were sitting together asleep, Angel's head rested on Nudge's shoulder, and Nudge's head on Angel's. Total was sleeping in Angel's lap and, even though she was asleep, Angel was petting Total's head. Iggy and Gazzy were right behind them, listening to their music on their Ipod nano. Iggy tried to turn it to a different song, but Gazzy pulled it away. They started to fight over it. Mom and Gabriella were sitting across from us, talking and laughing so quietly I couldn't hear them. Fang was ahead of them and--
I cracked up. "Ella, give me your camera. This is great blackmail!"
Ella looked at Fang and laughed, shoving her camera at me. Fang was asleep, his head turned at the perfect angle on the back of the seat. Akila, sensing he wouldn't play with her anymore, decided to go to sleep to, her head under his chin.
I stood up and walked over, then bent down to get a better shot. Then I snapped it. Perfect.
Just wait until he woke up.
This chapter really sorta got on my nerves. I loved writing it, but I remembered I promised my friend I would read something and pulled up a new tab. I logged out of the new tab and unfortunetly that made me log out of the old tab, and I had gotten to the end before I logged out, where Max takes the blackmail picture of Fang and Akila. I didn't save it either, so I had to rewrite the whole thing. Luckily the second write was better then the first!!!!
REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
