Here's another chapter, today, incase I can't post tomorrow. I hope I can, but I'm not sure.
If I can, I'll post the next one, too, and then after that we'll finally have some action!
For now, heres another boring-ish-kinda-I-don't-know chapter.
After a very pestering Gazzy, me and Fang didn't have a choice, really. "We'd kissed five, maybe six times before that time on the sub." Fang shrugged, and put his arm around my shoulder. He leaned into me and his chin was resting on the top of my head lightly.
"What?!" Gazzy asked, surprised, I'd say.
I didn't want to say, and neither did Fang. Who took it over from there? Right.
Angel laughed and went on to explain. "Sure. Remember when the flyboys captured us? Like, when we went back to the school and I tricked you all? They weren't there, they were further away kissing. Fang thinks about that a lot, Max ran away. Then Max got that one chip that we thought was letting them track us out and while she was done up on drugs," Done up on drugs? I'd have to talk to this kid soon. "She had told Fang she loooooved him. And lots more." Ella erupted in an explosion of laughter at obvious memories of that day. Angel went on. "Then, when we reunited, Fang and Max didn't really give a crap about us, they were only happy to be back with each other. But they came around. And at the motel, they flew off together, and kissed again. Max ran off—again—and that was when she realized she'd loved him a lot. And then I remember she flew off the boat because of Fang flirting with Dr. Amazing, and he told her that 'There's a you and me, all right. There will always be a you and me.' And she was mad." My cheeks went bright red when she mentioned Doctor Stupendous by my name for her. I was wondering when she was going to stop with this love story gone screwed, but she just kept going. "Then the kidnapped time was when they flew off into the desert, remember? That was when Max finally didn't run away. Then, when they saved that kid on the beach after the BS—" I still laughed at that name, "—Doctor Stupendous was all over Fang and she was mad. Then Fang took her out and they kissed again. Then that brings us to the submarine."
Fang and I stared at her, our faces red with anger, and some embarrassment. Gazzy stared at Angel amazed, and Nudge, too. It was Nudge who broke the silence. "Awwwwww!" She cooed at us and ran over to hug us. "I always knew you guys weren't stupid enough to not figure it out!" I looked at her confused and Fang smirked and started stroking my hair.
"Angel," he said, and she looked at him cautiously. "you, my friend, are dead."
Angel nodded, and ran away, and he chased after her. They returned with her slung over his shoulder and her screaming laugh. He wasn't laughing, so she wasn't sure if he was serious, due to that, but he was smiling. She didn't know that. He threw her down on the couch and sat on top of her until she begged for him to get off.
I smiled at him and he got up to come and sit next to me, while Ella and Iggy kissed. Again. We both sighed, and Nudge did, too. That was out of character for her. She stood up and went into my room, closing the door behind her. Me and Fang exchanged a glance and I stood up to follow her. I told Fang to stay, I when I was down the hall I heard Gazzy messing with him about me. I rolled my eyes as I knocked on my door and went in.
The scene I saw almost made my scream. Nudge laying across my bed sobbing. Since when did she cry for no reason? "Nudge?" I called to her and she sat up. Around her eyes were red and her face was wet with tears. "What's wrong?" I asked her and walked over to hug her.
"Nothing," she lied, and I laughed lightly.
"No, what's wrong." I pressed and felt her let out another burst of tears.
"I'm so happy for you and Fang." She said, and I was confused. Did she like Fang? "And Iggy and Ella." She added. Okay, I admit I felt better that she didn't seem to only mind me and Fang. "But theres no one for me." She explained, and I understood.
"I—" I began, then didn't know what to say. "Do… Do you want me to break up with Fang?" I asked her, completely serious. I didn't think I would completely, but we'd never let her know we were still more than friends.
She looked at me, horrified. "No!" She exclaimed, and I flinched. "I've waited too long for you two to realize you love each other," she smiled a bit. "But," she went on, "I just wish I had someone like you have Fang and Iggy has Ella…" She explained.
"You will, eventually, sweetie. But remember, you're only eleven. Me, Fang, and Iggy are fourteen. Give yourself three or four years, then worry about a boyfriend." I told her in a soft voice while I rubbed her back like Fang does. It's oddly hypnotizing.
She nodded and sighed. "I'm sorry, Max. I just got carried away, I guess." I hugged her again and she wiped her face on her sleeve, then there was a voice at the door. "Yo," it said, and it was Fang.
"Come in," Nudge said for me and stood up. She sniffled and hugged me again, then went to the door to let him in. She gave me a look like, 'Have fun!', and smirked as she left.
Fang came over and sat next to me, wrapping his arms around me. "So," he started. "What was that about?" He asked, still confused.
"Me and you," I said, and he gave me a weird look. Then I went on. "And Iggy and Ella."
He nodded, understanding already. "She should give herself a few years, we're fourteen, she's eleven."
"That's what I told her," I laughed, then wrapped my arms around him, resting my head on his chest. "It's been too quiet for too long. Besides Jeb, we've just been relaxing. I want to know whats coming up to catch up, and when it'll catch up. I'm scared there's something coming that'll get us back into running. No, I'm not even scared, but I'm expecting it." I told him. I was scared of it, but I was expecting it. I was confused.
He nodded, again, and pulled me up on to his lap. "This isn't reassuring, but something's coming. It wouldn't be life if there was nothing but relaxation in the next month to come." He said, and I knew he was right. "But until whatever is coming, we should relax. It's the only down time we have." He rubbed his hands in circles in the space between my wings as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Hey, love birds!" Total yelled from outside the door, not meaning the birds part as a joke. "We're leaving in ten!"
I sighed as I heard him, but then Fang pressed his lips against mine, like it was urgent. My mind cleared and I fought the urge to sit there and kiss him forever. "Fang," I murmured against his lips, "We have to go…"
He kissed me more and broke apart, not opening his eyes. "Let them go, we can stay here…" He muttered, pulling me closer.
And didn't that sound just amazing? I was totally up for it until I heard footsteps, and he did, too. We pulled apart as I grabbed my bag, and he grabbed his. Iggy's was in Ella's room, and the rest of them were in the living room.
I ran out the door, bumping into Total and Ella. "Hey!" Total screeched at me, and I couldn't suppress a laugh. Ella looked at me, then Fang and giggled, then Fang looked at her.
"I wouldn't be talking, El." He said, giving her a nickname. "I can say some stuff about you, too. Angel maybe keeping quiet about me and Max, but she's said some stuff about you two."
What was with Fang, lately? He was talking in full sentences! I didn't mind, and none of the others seemed to notice. Well, at least if they did they didn't say anything.
Ella froze and looked at him, then me. She ran down the hall screaming, "Angel, you better run!"
I looked at Fang. "What's Angel been telling you about them?" I asked, stunned.
Fang smiled, one that he only smiles around me. It stopped my heart for a few beats. "Nothing."
I admit it, when he said that, I almost died of laughter. I hugged him and kissed him quickly, then grabbed his hand, running down the hall. The rest of the Fang were waiting—whoa, the rest of the flock were waiting(see how much kissing him can affect me? That's why I always ran away from it… Kinda. I was totally not scared, though. Ha. Okay, that was a major lie.) for us. Mom and Ella were piling in the car, their luggage ready, and we all flew off to the airport.
Of course, the kids with freaking wings have to fly to the airport, only to get flown! And this wasn't first class or anything, so thank God we were on there for just a couple hours. When we go off we met up with John Abate, the guy who I thought to love my mother, and Total's love's owner.
After we all ran out of the too small plane(Iggy being the only one taking his time because he couldn't run while holding hands with Ella), John found us and tossed our luggage in the… Bottoms of his car? Yeah, something lifted up giving it more space, though we still ended up overly crowded. Total and Aklia had a mushy-heart-felt reunion and they got one of the three middle seats to share. Gazzy and Angel managed to squeeze in the other two seats of the middle row, and the back was me and Fang in our own seats, holding hand and occasionally pecking our lips together gently, and Ella who was on Iggy's lap. He didn't mind.
Even with the secret compartments in the guy's van, me and Fang still had a duffel bag thrown across our lap, but whatever.
Our next stop was at the hotel we'd be staying at, some weird town name like Lamalfayette? Lafayette? Something like that. It was a relatively small town, but I didn't really mind it. It wasn't the School, so, maybe, for once, I could enjoy California.
Okay, it's longer than the rest.
That mayyyy be because of Angel's little rant.
xD
Reviews would be awesomely awesome greatness.
