Max's POV
You know what sucks? Neat freak maids. Yaaaa... I guess it was maids jobs to be neat freaks, but I liked my room messy in my own way so that I could find things. Dad had taken the time to buy Ella and I a new wardrobe, but it was all wrong... I mean yes, all of it was actually my style, but they were all organized. There was a space for pajamas, there was a space for shorts, tank tops, short sleeved, long sleeved, dressy, casual, gosh! It was driving me insane. Our house was beautiful, but... Not very homey... Yet. No house can be warm and welcoming with everything being so fancy and clean all the time. I'm sure mom was working on it... She loved her house clean... But also warm and cozy! I guess I got that from her... Oh but anyways, back to what I was saying about the wardrobe thing... It wasn't exactly that it was not very normal for everything to be so... Perfect, it was that my darling sister Ella could strut into my room and find anything quickly for me to where. Ella was in my room now, sitting on my bed, trying (unsuccessfuly might I add) to get me to wear purple PJ's over to Fangs. "Pleeeaaasssseee" Ella coaxed.
"No Ella. I am NOT wearing purple. That is by far the most revolting pair of pajamas I have EVER seen in my entire life! Anything but purple-" I was going to continue my rant, but suddenly a flash of pink and green caught my eye. I pulled it out to see this: a pair of baggy, hot pink pajama pants, and a green cami. The green spaghetti strap had hot pink stars all over it that matched the pants. "This is cool, I guess. Pink looks good on me... And green matches my eyes!" I saw Ella smirk a little.
"Thats cute... In your own way... Hey... Put on some mascara and then spray no fizz curl hold in your hair while I change, then we can go over!" Ella said, as she pulled her shirt over her head, starting to change into her PJ's she had brought into my room. I wiped the mascara wand across my lashes. When I suddenly for the first time smelled mascara. The smell drifted to my nose and I gagged.
"EEEWWW! What is mascara made of!" I screetched. "Oh my gosh sniff this!" I told her. She hesitantly leaned in and smelled the mascara. She recoiled quickly.
"OH GROSS! That is disgusting! We need to check out the Internet. I'll boot up the labtop, you go turn on the straightener," Ella said, sitting down at the computer chair. I shook my head.
"Ells... You're hair is already board straight! Why do you need to straighten it!" I asked her.
"Because it makes it less frizzyish..." Ella said defensivly I shook my head at her. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the straightener, and when I got back Ella was already typing in 'what is mascara made of?' on the google search engine. She clicked on a link and it immidiatley took us to a page with a girl with extremley over long eyelashes as the profile picture. The article read:
MASCARA: BY PRODUCTS?
It is proven that mascara is, infact, made of diffrent oils and such, depending onthe colors. However... Most mascara's main ingridient is: Bat Dung.
I stopped reading there. I slowly looked over at Ella and we both screamed, running into the bathroom, and throwing water onto our face. We rubbed and scrubbed and squealed, like a person about to be mauled by a bear. Suddenly I herd a knock on the balcony door. Ella and I burst through the door. Fang looked alarm... He stared at us with a extremely confused expression. Then he said in a strange voice,
"Have yo-you been... CRYING!" he asked incrediously. We both turned I to each other.
"No, we've been splashing water on our face," I told him cooly. He quirked an eyebrow.
"I'm confused... Was that supposed to be sarcasm?" he asked, his eyebrows quirking together in a way that made him look incredibly hot.
"No, Fang, we were SERIOUSLY splashing water on our face," I told him.
"Ummm... That explains alot..." he said rolling his eyes.
"Whos doing the sarcasm now!" I challenged at him, my eyes sparkling.
"Sorry, Miss Martinez... Now why were you splashing water all over your face?" he asked smirked, acting all formal. I rolled my eyes at his corniness.
"Because we had bat crap on our eye lashes!" I said, in a 'duh' voice. He dropped down to his knees and threw his ands in the air.
"Will the sarcasm never-end!" he cried, in his best 'i am a drama queen in peril' voice.
"Ummm no we really did have bat dung on our eyelashes," Ella said, a waver of disgust still in her voice. I bit my lip to keep from laughing at Fang expression. "The main ingridient in most mascaras is bat crap," Ella told him in a wimper. Fang look at us, with no emotion on his face... And then... He burst into laughter. In between gasps he said,
"I..(gasp). Am...(gasp) So...(gasp) Glad...(gasp) I...(gasp) Am...(gasp) Not...(gasp) A...(gasp) Girl!" I hit him on the arm as hard as I could (okay so maybe not as hard a I could because the I might of broken his arm{;!) fang grabbed his arm and glared at me. He just rolled his eyes and walked towards his house, calling over his shoulder, "be at my balcony door in five!" Ella and I ran inside, while I sprayed my hair down with no frizz curl holding spray, Ella was quickly running a straightener through her hair, even though it was doing nothing, because her hair was already so straight! She grabbed her sidebangs and held them straight up. She sprayed the back of them with hair spray and then pushed them into a mini poof, and secured them with bobby pins. While she finished with her poof I ran from the bathroom and into my room. I looked at my reflection in the full length mirror. My waist length dirty blonde hair was pulled into a high ponytail, so that it reached my mid-back. My sidebangs kept falling over my emerald eyes, so I ran into the bathroom and fixed them the same way Ella did hers. We continued to scurry around that same way until we had thrity second to get to fangs. So we bolted out of the glass, balcony door, hair, and clothes in perfect condition and eyelashes, bat crap free! I hopped over the railing easily, my pony tail swishing behind me. Ella was following right behind. I smiled as we got to the glass doors. Fang. As soon as I thought of his name he slowly opened the door. I only had one thought in my head and that was: wow. Fang looked even hotter than the last time I saw him... But not the first time... He was shirtless there. Anyways... Now he was decked out in black basketball shorts . He had on a soft gray muscle shirt that showed off his abbs. I bit on my tongue so I wouldn't ask him to propsose to me or something. He leaned against the doorway, and folded his arms across his chest. Ella took this as a 'Come on in.' she walked past Fang and a guy with spiked, strawberry blonde hair, and icy blue eyes greeted her. They walked out of Fangs room, talking. "Hey," he said, face emotionless.
"Hey," I said back.
"How may I help you?" he asked. I quirked an eyebrow at him. Two could play at that game!
"Oh I guess I'll just leave," I said airily. Fang firmly grasped my hand, he pulled me so I was looking directly into his eyes, emerald, to midnight.
"Don't leave," he said, his eyes still piercing me. I gulped.
"Okay," I squeaked, smooooth, Max, real smooth! Fang smirked.
"You like me don't you Max?" Fang asked. My mouth dropped.
"OF COURSE NOT! I-I... What wou-would make you think that! Wait... Sctratch that question... But no I don't like you!" I said, stumbling over the words.
"I'm going to make you fall in love with me Max," Fang said simply, with a small smile, then he turned on his heels and sauntered into the house. I stood there in shock, and then had no choice but to follow.
Fang's POV I fell back into the soft carpet and layed still for a minute. Angel then ran into the room quickly, screaming at the top of her lungs. "Gazzy took Celeste!" She screamed, red in the face.
"Did not!" Gazzy said, his face scrunched up angrily.
"Did too."
"Did not"
"Did too"
"DID NOT!"
"Fine! Then what's that lump in your shirt!" Angel challenged.
"Uuuhhh..." Gazzy mummered. I pulled Angel into my lap and smoothed her blonde hair.
"Hey Gazzy, dude, give her back her teddy bear, and you can pick the movie first," I told him. He puffed his chest out a little like a rooster when I called him dude. All the little kids really looked up at us. Angel took Celeste from Gazzy and cutched onto him. She snuggled into my chest and I put my arms around her.
"Wow, the prince of darkness has a sensitive side," I heard a musical voice sing from behind me. I leaned my head back to see Max standing there. Angel looked over to where Max was standing, and her Carribean blue eyes widened.
"Is she your girlfriend, Fang!" Angel gasped.
"Not yet," I answered smirking slightly, my heart thumping a little bit.
"Yet! Oo-la-la!" Angel said, giggling. Max shook her head, her blonde waves bobbing. She sat down beside me and looked at Angel.
"Im not goig to go out with your brother," she said, smiling. I felt my heart sink a little, but, oh well. Max was GOING to fall in love with me one way or another! Angel put a hand gentley on Max's arm.
"I completley understand, who would want to go out with him!" Angel said, then she giggled. I gave her a look. "Just kidding," she added quickly. Max laughed. I decided I liked her laugh. It was beautiful, musical, settling on the small breeze from the vents, filling my ears, leaving my heart beating softly.
"What are we watching?" Max asked, smiling.
"The Lion King!" Gazzy announced. I looked at Max out of the corner of my eye. She was smiling, with her pearly white teeth, she looked truley happy... Well good! Gazzy handed me the DVD I stood up, adjusting Angel on my hip. I pushed the button and put the DVD in. I was about to push the button when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. Angel looked at me shyly.
"May I push the button?" Angel asked. I smiled to myself, my heart soaring. I absolutely loved my sister. I didn't love many things a whole whole whole bunch... But my sister, I would die for her in a second. She was so innocent and sweet, joking, and just... Amazing. I bent down and she pushed the close/eject button. I carried her back and sat down in our spot. Gazzy ran really fast to the lights and turned them off. We all sat in a line. It was Me, Gazzy, Angel, Max, Ella, Iggy and then Nudge.. It look funny, with me, being sixteen, then gazzy being eight, angel six, max sixteen, ella, iggy, and nudge, fifteen. It was a seriously jacked up line, but still one, all the same. The entire theatre boomed to life as the screen brightened into colored pictures. Half way through the movies my eyes got droopy and I lightly feel asleep. Black rushed behind my eyelids, soon, overrun with one, beautiful picture... Max.
A small, delicate hand shook me lightly. My eyes popped open. I immidiatly kicked the body out of protective instinct. Suddenly, my blurry haze of vision cleared and I saw an extremly angry looking Max. She was holding Angel, who had fallen asleep in Max's lap somehow, yet she still managed to kick me back in the stomach pretty hard. Max's angry look immidatley was overtaken with one of self-satisfication.
"What do I do with Angel?" Max whispered. I smirked. I stood up, and yawned. I stretched a little and then walked over to where Max was sitting. I put my arms under Angel and picked her up, I motioned Max to follow me.
"Get Gazzy," I whispered back. Max took Gazzy's hand and Gazzy followed, half-asleep. The whole way to Angel's room I still felt the pleasent tingle, where mine and Max's skin had met when I had taken my sister.
When we walked back into the theatre together we found Iggy sprawled out all over the floor, Ella sprawled out all over Iggy, and Nudge... Well she was sprawled all over both of them. We laughed quietly. "Blllaaccckkkmmmaaaiiillll," Max said lightly under her breath. I smirked and ran out of the room with a quick,
"Be right back!" I came back a few minutes later with a camera. Max smiled and walked over to Iggy, Nudge, and Ella. She slowly, and easily moved Nudge. Then she dragged Iggy back and propped him lightly into a sitting position. She sat Ella next to him and layed Ella's head on his shoulder. I snapped a couple pictures. Then I watched Max put Nudges thumb in her mouth. I snapped a few more pictures of that and then slowly look Max again. "You do realize we have started a prank war. I said, flipping through the pictures," Max smiled slightly,
"They're on!" she muttered.
