Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN MAXIMUM RIDE...but I really wish I owned FANG ;D

Fang offered to walk me home and I accepted, seeing as it was so late.

Me and Fang had sat in the park for four hours just talking and joking around. He's not as arrogant as I thought he'd be, being the most popular guy in school and all.

Fang's phone rang, it was a very girlie ringer. I burst out laughing and he looked over to glare at me with those big, dark beautiful eyes. Did I just say beautiful? Forget I said that.

"It's my sister's" he said before answering the phone and saying "Hell-yeah, I know Ella. Yes I know you said have your phone back by eleven but-" I chuckled. There was a high pitched voice on the other line. "Yes I'm with a girl!" I blushed and heard a shriek on the other line "Yeah, whatever Ells, yeah, okay, yeah, Love you too, bye."

I raised my eyebrows questioningly.

Who was that?

"My sister." He said answering one of my silent question.

Why did she call? I'm seriously not that nosey, I just wanted to know...Okay, just a little bit nosey. And I wanted to see how long he could actually go on talking without me talking too. As you know he doesn't talk very much.

"She lent me her phone." And there goes the other question. It's like he can read my mind or something. "I was suppose to have it back an hour ago."

"Oh." I smiled.

"Yup." He popped the 'p' "You did that on purpose just to see how long I could talk, didn't you?"

I nodded, smiling. "Why did she need it back?" I asked curiously. You know what they say, 'curiosity killed the cat' but I'd much rather be a bird.

"She was going on a date" he turned his face to look at me and smirked "with your brother."

"I had no clue Igs was even getting out there!" I joked.

"Me either!" Fang agreed.

"He's watching over me so much that I wouldn't think he'd really take the time." I said seriously.

"He's very protective of you isn't he?" Fang put his hood up.

"Yeah" I said "one time, in eighth grade, I went on a date with this kid named Dan. Dan tried to kiss me goodnight. But after Igs was done with him, little Danny had no lips left. Eh, I didn't like him anyway." Fang chuckled but it seemed like he was still troubled.

We rounded my house.

"Well this is me." We stopped at the end of the driveway. Fang looked down and slid his hands in his pockets.

"Thank you Max." He looked up at me and his eyes met my own. Ah, the things he could do to a girl. I broke the gaze; embarrassed and played with my fingers.

"And Max," He took a finger under my chin, I met his gaze once again. Oh shit. That's all that was going through my head. My face felt really heated and I wondered if he could tell that my heart was beating out of my chest. I hated this feeling, feeling so vulnerable. But I loved it. I'm so contradicting myself.

His cool breath washed over my face. "I'm sorry I haven't noticed you before." And then with no other words, he left.

I could still feel his cool breath over my face and his fingers touching my skin. It was cold out that night, but I took no notice, he had made me feel so warm inside. I had never felt this way before, and I didn't know if it was a good or bad thing. But I did know one thing for sure, I liked it. I liked the feeling a lot.

I opened the door and leaned against it. Breathing heavily.

I called Mom earlier and told her I was at Nudge's, so she didn't really care when I got home since Nudge is like family.

As I slid into the kitchen, Iggy was there washing dishes.

"Hey Igs" I happily walked over to the counter and jumped up on a stool.

I could feel the blush still present on my cheeks from when Fang's face was so close to mine. Whoa Max, get a hold of yourself.

"Where have you been?" Iggy asked.

"At Nudge's" I lied cooly. Too bad Iggy could see right through me.

"You were with a boy?" He set the washing sponge on the counter and began to clean.

"No." I lied again.

"Don't lie Max." Iggy wasn't going to let me get away with not telling him. I could tell in his voice.

"Yes." I sighed finally telling the truth.

"I told you to stay away from him." He scrubbed the counter hard, clenching his jaw.

"Who?" I asked innocently.

"You know damn well who!" Iggy was getting really red in the face "Fang! I told you to stay away from him!" He yelled.

"We're just friends! And you can't tell me what to do! You're not Dad!" Oh, that had to sting. I regretted that the minute I said it.

"Listen Igs-" Iggy cut me off.

"It's fine Max, just don't say I didn't warn you. And don't come crying to me when he breaks your heart." Iggy threw the sponge in the sink.

"What's going on in here?" Both me and Iggy looked over at the kitchen door. Mom stood there in her bathrobe and slippers, she looked tired and really pissed.

"Nothing." We said simultaneously.

"Good. Now Ig, go home, and Max, get to bed." She went back up the stairs, her feet pounding.

Before Iggy left, he came over and gently touched my shoulder.

"Just, please be careful Max" he said with pleading eyes. And then with that, he left.

_Line_

"Iggy, can we talk?" Iggy was sitting in the living room watching Sunday morning cartoons.

He grabbed the remote and lowered the volume.

"What is it Max?" He asked angrily.

I had a lot of questions on why Iggy was so against me talking to Fang. I mean they are good friends right? Or was all that in the cafeteria and act? It didn't look like it...

"Can I ask you a question Iggy?"

"I guess Max." He huffed.

"Why are you so against me hanging around Fang. I mean you are friends with him and everything, aren't you?" I swear if he didn't answer my question I was going to take his precious remote and break it in half with my bare hands.

"No reason." That's it. No more Mr. Nice Maxi.

"Just tell me Igg! I'm not a child anymore, I can handle it!" I screamed.

"Fine! You really want to know Max? He's a player! A no good crappy player, and when he gets what he wants he will drop you faster then I would run for food." That's what he was so worried about? God, how stupid does he think I am?

"Yeah Ig, I figured he would be a player, but we're just friends so nothing will happen." I truthfully stated.

"God Max," Iggy rubbed his forehead "You really are blind aren't you?"

"What?" Can we say confusion!

"Nothing Max, just go hang out with Fang or something." He said 'go hang out with Fang' so that's exactly what I did.
