~A Different Side of Me, Allstar Weekend
Chapter 4
Max tapped her foot impatiently and knocked on the rickety old door once more, really getting agitated now.
"FANG!" she screamed through the door, hoping the person inside the room would open hear her. "Open the door!"
She jiggled the golden doorknob a little more, unable to open the door. She knocked more forcefully this time, and just as her fist was to hit the door, it hit Fang's face instead, bruising his cheek. She covered up her mouth in shock, and started blubbering, "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! You were just inside, and I need to take a bath, and you just wouldn't open the door and-"
Fang smiled at her, and Max knew that everything was going to be alright. "It's okay," he said quietly. He let her in his room, and she quickly grabbed some clothes and two towels and ran into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she peered out of the bathroom and into the bedroom through a crack, and looked for any signs that anyone was around.
Her towel was wrapped around her body, another green towel wrapped around her hair. She ran to Fang's closet, trying to not let go of her towel as she rummaged for clothes. "Shit," she muttered to herself quietly, still trying to find her undergarments. "Shit," she repeated. "They're in my room."
A new voice then came into the picture, saying, "You okay?"
Max whipped around to find Fang leaning against the doorframe, an eyebrow cocked on that olive-toned face. A blush quickly spread onto Max's cheeks as she stuttered out, "I, uh, um, yeah! E-Everything's great!" She turned back around, clutching onto the towel as if her life depended on it.
"You sure?" Fang asked, a hint of amusement in his low voice.
Max closed her eyes, and quietly said, "Um, yeah, I'm fine."
This time, both of Fang's eyebrows shot up, realizing why Max was dressed like that. "You left some of your clothes in your room, didn't you?"
Max hung her head, and meekly nodded, turning to face Fang. Fang rolled his eyes, and said, "What do you need? I can go get it if you want."
Max's cheeks turned redder than was usually possible as she said, "I can go get it, I just need to know if anyone's going to be watching and stuff like that…"
He rolled his obsidian eyes once more, and said, "Everyone's still in the house. There's no way you can go get it yourself. Come on, tell me what you need."
Max looked away from him, and whispered, "My undergarments?"
"What?" Fang asked, making Max repeat what she said even louder now.
"My undergarments?" It came out like a question again.
Max's eyes darted to Fang for a mere second, as she saw his cheeks had a pink-ish tint now. "I can get Nudge," Max said quietly, and then called out to Nudge.
Max and Fang could hear the pitter-patter of feet running down the hallways as Nudge approached the room. Nudge stood by Fang, who was still leaning against the doorway, looked back and forth between he and Max several times, and then shook her head and asked, "What?"
"Can you get me something from my room?" Max whispered, looking down at the floor, her brown streaked hair covering her cherry red face.
Nudge's head bobbed up and down affirmatively, and Max told her what she needed. Nudge let out a realizing, "Oh!" as if just now understand the awkward tension between Max and Fang, and ran out of the room to Max's.
Max looked at Fang and thanked him, and he took that as his cue to leave. He gave her an awkward nod and stalked out, allowing Nudge to enter. Nudge handed her a bundle and Max thanked her, and ran into the bathroom, embarrassed with herself.
Nudge laughed to herself as she watched Max run into the bathroom, and walked out of the bedroom, joining Iggy, Fang, and his family. Fang came up to her and whispered, "Is Max alright?"
Nudge nodded, her bouncy caramel curls hitting Fang's face. He moved a little bit farther from her, and then told her that he was going to go check on Max.
Today is going to be a long day, Nudge thought to herself as she walked over to Angel.
"So when did you two start dating?" Madison asked Max.
Fang and Iggy had gone out to buy groceries, so Max was left accompanying Madison, while Nudge had fun with the little kids.
Max looked at her for a second. "Dating? What are you t- ohh," she said, regaining her composure. "Um, a couple of years ago."
Madison nodded coyly, worrying Max even more. "Interesting," Madison murmured. Max smiled uneasily and tried to make small talk with her.
When that didn't work, Max called Fang.
"Hello?" he answered gruffly.
Max went into their bedroom and whispered through the phone, "When are you coming home?"
Fang took a minute to respond, thinking about what to tell her. "Uh, maybe a couple of more minutes from now?"
Max could hear him and Iggy at the checkout, hearing the constant Beep! every 10 seconds or so.
"Why?" he teased. "Does my girlfriend want her hubby home now? Does she miss him? She wuvs him, yes she does, doesn't she – "
He started talking to her as if she were a little child in that last sentence, and before he could finish, Max effectively cut him off by sternly saying, "Shut up, Fang. Seriously. Get home, now." After saying that, without waiting for a reply, she hung up on him.
She tiredly ran a hand through her wavy brown, sun-streaked hair, when Madison burst into the room.
Max was startled when she asked, "Tension with my son?"
Max looked at her questioningly, before replying, "Not at all," all the while plastering a fake smile on her face. "I was just telling him to come home soon, so Iggy could make us dinner."
Madison walked up closer to Max, until she was face to face with her, noses almost touching, but not quite.
"Listen girly," Madison growled, "you better be treating my son right, or else."
Max's eyebrows furrowed, and then one of them cocked up. "You think I ain't treating him right? Just you wait and see, Mrs. Ride."
Fang had obviously come home at the wrong time. He'd heard about this kind of thing happening from people who were already married, but he just didn't think that he'd have to deal with it at this moment in time.
If he were actually married, he would've much rather said, "Honey, I'm home!" than coming home to a fight taking place between his mother and his 'girlfriend.'
"Listen Fang," Max said threateningly, in front everybody else, "your mom, has some serious issues."
Madison, who wasn't great at making comebacks, said, "Well your girlfriend also has some serious problems! Can't you realize that she isn't your type?!" she asked outrageously.
Fang sighed and set down the grocery bags in the kitchen, Iggy and Nudge heading immediately to the kitchen. "Listen," he said, closing his eyes and running a hand through his silky black hair. "Calm down. I love you both very much, and I'd really appreciate it if you didn't fight."
Before Madison could say anything, Max jumped at the opportunity to get on Madison's good side, even though she knew she wasn't. "Y-You love me?" Max asked Fang, who's eyes widened as soon as she'd said that. Her eyes told him to go with the plan, which was what he did.
"Of course," he said, pulling her into a hug.
Her head slammed against his rock hard chest as she quietly said, "Even if I fought with your mother?"
He nodded, and she said, "I l-love you too."
He lovingly kissed her forehead, and let her go, and she walked to the bedroom, thinking, That was so not me, but it seemed to work, all the while, catching the look on Madison's face as soon as she and Fang had said they loved each other.
"Let's see it," Madison said.
Max looked at her, her eyebrows furrowed questioningly. "See what?"
She and Madison had made up, apologized, and even hugged (on command of Madison), for the sake of Fang.
"The kiss," Madison bluntly stated.
Fang and Max choked on their wonderful dinner, prepared by Iggy, and it took a while for them to calm back down. "What?" Fang asked again, as if he hadn't heard her the first time.
"The kiss," Madison urged. She waved her hand, as if to go faster. It was like a command for Fang and Max; one they did not want to follow.
Max smiled uneasily and her voice shook as she spoke. "We're really not fans of PDA, Mrs. Ride."
Madison shrugged, saying that Nudge loves romantic stuff, Iggy should get a girlfriend anyways, and that Gazzy and Angel like romantic movies sometimes, so that it was okay for them to kiss in front of everybody.
Iggy nodded vigorously and teasingly said, "Yeah, I don't know what their problem is. They kiss around the house all the time anyways."
Max shot a glare at him, as did Fang, when Nudge said, "Iggy's exaggerating. They don't kiss all the time. Just maybe sometimes. It's really cute actually. I wish I had somebody like that, you know? To hold me, and kiss me – "
Max cut her off by saying, "Thank you, Nudge," while mouthing, "You're done."
Nudge rolled her caramel eyes and mouthed back, "You're welcome."
Max rolled her own chocolate-y eyes in response, only to catch Madison saying, "Come on, you two. Don't be awkward potatoes and just kiss."
Max cocked an eyebrow at Fang, who just shook his head, motioning that he didn't know what "awkward potatoes" meant coming from his mom.
"Fine," Max grumbled, throwing her napkin on top of her plate and walking over next to Fang.
She grabbed Fang's arm, motioning him to stand up. She puckered her lips up, as did he, and their lips barely touched as they let out a noisy, "Mwah!"
Madison scoffed. "That's a kiss? Come on you two, don't be wimps. Nick, honey, give her a real kiss."
They pulled apart and looked around awkwardly at everyone else in the apartment.
Madison kept urging them until Max finally went berserk.
Max finally muttered, "You want a real kiss? You got one," only low enough for Fang to hear.
She grabbed his black shirt with her fist and smashed her lips to his. Fang rested his hands on her hips, and Max let go of his shirt, only to grip his soft hair. Fang's hands then moved to her cheeks and pressed their lips together even more, bringing Max closer to those soft lips of his. She melted into the kiss, instead of being rigid and stiff, and she tilted her head farther up, their noses slightly grazing as Fang started tracing her lower lip with his tongue.
Both of them then realized they had gone too far, and abruptly pulled apart; their faces flushed and lips swollen. Everybody had been clapping while they had kissed, but neither of them had noticed, being too caught up in the moment.
The two awkwardly cleared their throats and then on avoided contact with each other, and that's when Madison knew something was up. And she wasn't going to let this go until she found out.
Ooh la la! You like the fake fluff? I do :)
I worked really hard on that kissing scene. It was so AWKWARD. Don't expect it to get any better.
So, if you review, could I ask a huge favor? Could you guys please tell what you think of the content? Oh, and song lyrics? I work pretty hard to find those at the top up there. I'd really really appreciate it.
So Fluffy isn't here, so I apologize if there is any mistakes. I did proofread it, but, you know, I usually miss something.
So, please review! I really appreciate all of them. I don't what I'd do without my readers.
