I finally got my computer back up and running so things should run smoothly, plus its summer and I have all the time in the world pretty much, or at least it seems so right now. We'll see how long that lasts.
Jinx's POV
I stood there for a few moments in shock. Everyone was staring at one another. Neither of us dared to speak. Once reality hit me I ran off to the room Max and I shared. I slammed and locked the door.
Anger filled me up. I turned on my ipod, which was on the speaker stand and played "Riot," by Three Days Grace, on of my favorite songs.
As the music blasted I turned the bed over, hit pillows, and threw anything that was in front of me. I was about to throw the picture of me and Max at the beach out the window when I stopped.
I just looked down at the picture. We were so happy. Max was in a black bikini with a white cover up, so no one could see her wings. In one hand Max was holding and ice cream cone and with the other hand she was giving me bunny ears. She was smiling; she had such a beautiful smile. I was in white swim trunks with black beach flowers all over them with a black t-shirt covering up my wings. I also had my ice cream cone in one hand and my other hand around Ma's waist. We had so much fun that day.
Flashback
The flock was playing around having a good time. They had nothing o worry about. Max was tanning on the beach, watching Angel and Nudge splashing around in the waves. Iggy was sitting next to Brianna under the beach umbrella. Brianna was reading the stories that were in the newspaper. I was standing in line getting ice cream for me and Max.
"What kind would you like, sir," the cashier asked me
"I'll take two chocolate waffle cones, please," I asked the man politely. He dished three scoops into each cone and handed them to me. I paid him the five dollars and walked back over to Max.
"Here you go," I handed Max one of the cones.
"Thanks sweetie," she said as she gave me a peck on the lips. Me and Max just sat and relaxed on the beach. We talked about random things like, how happy we were that our café was going.
"Hey Jinx, Max, let me get a picture of you and Max together," Brianna shouted as she ran over to us with her digital camera. Me and Max looked at each other and nodded our heads in agreement.
Max got up and put bunny ears above my head and I put my hand around her waist.
"One, two, three," Brianna said as she got ready to the picture.
"Cheese," Max and I both said.
After Brianna got the picture all of us started laughing. I had never been happier in my life. I had my girlfriend by my side, smiling with radiance and all my friends around me having an amazing time. This had to be one of the best days of my life, beside the day I escaped from the school.
End of flashback.
I brought myself back to reality. I loved Max so much. She was my soul mate, someone that completed me. I just didn't understand what was going on. Did Max not love me any more? Did she love that Fang guy more? I was so frustrated!
"Riot," had ended and "I get it," by Chevelle came on. I don't know how that song made me calm, but it somehow it did. I began to clean up my mess.
Max's POV
Fang and I sat there in an extremely awkward silence. Neither of us knew what to say. What was there to say? I winced when I heard "Riot," being blasted through the apartment. Jinx only listed to his music that loud when he was really angry and frustrated.
I heard a bunch of crashing noises. I was too scared to get up. Jinx was a really nice, gentle person and he kept his cool most of the time. I had never seen him like this; he must have been really upset.
After about five minutes of Fang and me sitting there in silence, only hearing the crashing and breaking of things to the music, everything suddenly stopped. Then I heard "I Get It," by Chevelle. I knew that he was calming down, that song made him so calm for some odd reason.
"Eeem, yea, I guess I should go check on Jinx," I said trying to break the silence between me and Fang.
"Yea, ok," Fang sighed looking at his hands. He seemed upset and hurt, but for all I know I could have just imagined it.
"You can go ahead and make yourself at home, this is your room for now," I said with a sad smile as I got up from the bed and walked out the door.
I knocked on Jinx's door. I prayed to God that he would answer the door and not ignore me. After a few minutes I was about to turn away and leave him be, but then I heard some shuffling.
Jinx's POV
I heard someone knocking on my door, probably Max. I sighed I really wanted to talk to her, but I was also afraid to talk to her. I was scared to what she was going to say to me. What if she was going to leave me for Fang?
Thinking about what I should do, I sat down on the bed I just made. Three minutes passed by and I decided I should talk to Max, so she didn't hate me. I had to face her sooner or later; it might as well be now. I got up from the bed and shuffled my feet slowly over to the door.
"Hey," I sighed, looking at the ground.
"Hey, are you alright?" Max asked with a very worried expression on her face.
"If you call being depressed after seeing your girlfriend kiss another man, alright, then yes I'm just dandy," I said in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh, Jinx, I'm so sorry," Max said looking at me with pleading eyes.
"I don't really know what happened between me and Fang, it was just a reaction. I don't even know why we kissed. It won't ever happen again, I promise. Please forgive me, please," Max was about to cry, I could see the tears welding up in her eyes.
"Max, Max, Max, of course I forgive you. How could I not? I love you Max and nothing can change that."
"I love you too, Jinx, and I always will," Max said as her tears began to disappear.
"How about you come in," I suggested.
"Ok, whoa what happened in here a tornado," Max laughed
"I guess you could say that," I still hadn't cleaned everything up. Max began to pick up the some of the pillows that were still scattered on the floor. I was cleaning up the some of the shattered glass. Max and I worked together getting the room clean. It only took us about fifteen minutes to clean up everything that was on the floor.
"I'll be right back, I need to go get the vacuum," Max said as she walked out of my room gracefully. He hips moved from side to side and her body was just amazing. I loved that woman so much, her looks, her personality, and everything.
I sat on the bed and waited for Max to return. I was thinking to myself about how I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Max and have kids with her, but I had no idea what Max's thoughts were on that subject. I only had about two minutes to think before max cam back with the vacuum.
"Come on, get off your lazy butt and vacuum up your mess," Max joked as she waved her finger at me.
"Aw, but mom," I played along, which just made her laugh more. I loved her laugh it was so sweet and light, it made the atmosphere happy and joyful. It didn't feel all that awkward around us anymore.
Max walked over to the bed and laid down with her hands behind her head and watched me as I vacuumed up the smaller pieces of glass, that I couldn't get with my hands. Once I had finished I put the vacuum back in the hall closet and laid down next to my woman.
"Well this is nice," Max said as she turned onto her side to look at me.
"Yeah, I agree," turning on to my side to look at her to. We just laid there looking at and watching each other. I could have done this all day. Grrrrrg, my stomach growled and Max snickered. I looked at the alarm clock on my side of the bed. It was 11:30.
"How about I go make peanut butter sandwiches," Max suggested. All I gave her was a funny I-don't-know-about-this look.
"Oh come on I can make peanut butter sandwiches," she said giving me a yes-I-can-and-I-will look. All I can say she is stubborn and determined. Max got up and went onto the kitchen. While I just continued to lay there thinking about Max.
Fang's POV
After Max left, I had know Idea what to do. I just laid there in bed with the radio on low, listening to whatever song came on. What was going to happen between me and Max now? Was she just going to avoid me? Would she still talk to me?
I heard Jinx and Max talking. I didn't know what they were talking about; all I could hear were mumbles. I heard Max get the something out of the hall closet and then go back into her bedroom. Then I heard the low vroom sound of the vacuum as whoever was vacuuming.
I had been here for less than a day and already I was causing problems. All I ever did to Max was get in her way. This whole situation was a total disaster. Everything was going wrong. Maybe I should just go back to my apartment and stay there. I should just leave Max alone, but I already promised her that I wouldn't leave again. I'll stay here for a few days then go back home. I will make sure to visit everyday; I don't think I would be able to stay away from Max and the flock for very long now that I know where they are.
I pulled out my laptop and started doing some of the work that I was behind on. The good thing was that I could do a lot of my work at home, but I still had to call the office and tell them that I was going to take a personal week. I had today and tomorrow off. I picked up my cell phone. A husky voice answered that phone.
"Yea, yea, what'd cha want, Nick?" I used my fake name, Nick. My boss would think I was insane if I used Fang.
"Hey I really need to take a few days off, it's family business," I told my boss.
"Ok, but you can only take four days off, we have a big meeting coming up and I need you to be there Nick,"
"Ok that's great, thanks so much; I'll be there on Thursday,"
"Yea, yea you're welcome, but I got to go," my boss said in a rush and before I could say bye he hung up.
Now that I had that taken care of, I went back to working on my computer. I was on the computer for a few hours, before I noticed how hungry I was. I left my room and went into the kitchen to find Max making pp&j sandwiches.
"I see you have master making sandwiches," I said smoothly as I walked over to her.
"Yea, it's the only thing that I can make where you won't be prone to getting sick," she chuckled. We stood there in silence for a few minutes.
"So is there anything I can help you with?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence between us. I mean after what happen this morning, well, I just wonder to when things would be back to normal.
"Um, no, not really Fang, but thanks for asking," Max said as she finished getting lunch on the table, she didn't even look at me. Max had just finished setting the table with the sandwiches, drinks, and grapes, when Jinx walked in. When he saw me in there with Max, he shot me a death glare, which I returned. And I thought the air could not get anymore awkward. Looks like I was wrong. Max must have noticed me and Jinx glaring at each other.
"Well, how about we sit down and eat lunch. I'm starving," Max cleared her throat. I took my seat on Max's right, and Jinx took his seat on Max's left. Me and Jinx were still glaring at each other all through lunch.
Max's POV (sorry its so short)
Ugh! Why can't those two just get along? Ok well, I know Jinx has a right to mad at Fang, but why couldn't they just say sorry and end of story. This was so frustrating. The other thing that worried me was that I kissed Fang, I'm the one that made the first move. This was getting annoying.
They are still glaring at each other. I wanted to move so bad. I hated being in the middle of this. It was insane. BRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!! Oh, thank the Lord, the phone rang.
"I'll go get that," I said excited that I could move from the growing awkwardness and tension in the kitchen. I bolted to my room.
Jinx's POV
After Max left to go get the phone, I decide I should have a talk with Fang on the whole kissing Max situation. I wanted to make sure he was going to stay and not break her heart anymore. He also was not going to try anything funny, she just got over Fang.
"So, Fang, why did you kiss Max?" I asked with steal in my voice.
"I don't really know, Jinx, it just kind of happened," Fang replied in an unfriendly voice.
"Well, you better make sure, it doesn't just happen, again, or I will kick your sorry butt so hard that you won't be able to sit down for a year," I threatened, trying keep my voice down so Max wouldn't hear me.
"Oh, yeah, well I would love to see you try,"
"The only reason your still around here is because, Max obviously cares about you, but not in the way you care about her. If I was in charge you butt would have been kicked out of my café as soon as you walked in,"
"Whatever you say Jinx," Fang said leaving at that.
"Hey guys I'm back," Max said as she walked back into the room.
"Who was that on the phone?" Fang and I asked at the same time. We then, glared at each other, again.
"Brianna, the boys were driving her crazy," Max laughed.
"Oh, ok. Max I will go ahead and clean the kitchen for you," Fang suggested. That made me so angry; cleaning the kitchen was my job.
"Thank you, Fang," Max said, smiling sweetly at Fang. I swear I wanted to kill Fang. Here he comes back into my family's lives unexpected and tries to steel my girlfriend. He had some nerve.
"Come on Jinxy, lets go relax and watch some T.V.," Max cooed as she pulled on my arm, dragging me to the T.V. room.
Fang's POV (sorry this is short again)
Jinx had some never to threaten me. I would love to see him and try to kick my butt. Then he thinks I kissed Max first. Well, she's the one who jumped in and kissed me, when I was about to back out.
I know one thing I'm still not going to give up on trying make Max mine. I love her and I will make her mine. I need her, she completes me. I continued to clean the kitchen up. When I was done I went into my room and picked up a book that I was reading earlier.
Jinx's POV
Max and I were watching a movie, I don't know what it was called, but a lot of things blew up and lots of people died in the funniest ways. One guy fell off a twenty story building because he tripped over a pipe.
Max was curled up next to me. I had my arm around her shoulders. I kissed the top of her head. Some of the awkwardness between me and her was ebbing away. Hopefully, by tomorrow there would be no awkwardness and we could get back to our "normal" lives.
This was the kind of quality time that I loved spending with Max. Things were always so relaxed and calm when we were watching movies together. The time seemed to pass by so fast. Before I knew it the movie was over. It was a two hour and forty-five minute movie, too. My question was, how did about three hours feel like thirty minutes. The day was going by in a blink of an eye. I looked over at the clock. It was 4:45 already.
Max turned and looked up at me. She stared into my eyes. She didn't say or do anything. She just kept staring at me with those big beautiful brown eyes of hers.
"What are you doing," I asked Max, cocking my head to the side.
"This," Max jumped on me and gave me a kiss. It was a simple kiss. It wasn't like a make out kiss, but it wasn't a peck, something in the middle. I felt like I need more. I need her physically so much right now.
I pulled her into a long passionate kiss. She began to kiss back. The kiss deepened. I picked her up bridal style and carried her into our room, still kissing. I gently dropped her onto the bed as I ran my fingers in her hair. Max ran her tongue across my lips begging for entrance. I parted my lips and she slipped her tongue in. The kiss was no a full out make out session. I felt pure pleasure, kissing Max this way. I could smell her. She smelled sweet, like cherries. Her skin was soft and her breath was minty. Right now nothing could keep me away from her. She ran her fingers through my hair. I moved my hands up and down her curves. Suddenly, I felt Max slip her hands up my shirt and was about to take it off.
"Max, Max, Max, guess what," Angel yelled excitedly. Quickly, Max and I pulled apart and got into positions so it looked like we were just talking. I didn't know we were even kissing that long.: Max and I looked at each other, and I knew exactly what she was thinking.
"What is it?" Max said getting up from the bed so she could go see what Angel was so excited about.
Max's POV
I was trying not to curse in my mind and out loud. I was finally ready and then Angel had to ruin the mood. I wasn't mad at her though she didn't know and she seemed really excited about something. I got up from the bed and walked into the kitchen, where Iggy, Brianna, Angel, Nudge, and Gazzy were all sitting. All of them were kind of doing their own thing. Brianna and Iggy were talking about their latest bomb project, Gazzy and Nudge were in some kind of heated discussion, probably something pointless, and Angel was bouncing up and down in her seat.
"So, what is so exciting, that you need to tell me," I laughed as Angel bounced up and down.
"Well, you know that guy, Jason that I like, right," Angel started.
"Yea he's a nice boy, very polite and mannered," I was getting kind of suspicious. I mean who wouldn't be?
"HE ASKED ME OUT TO THE MOVIES ON FRIDAY! So can I please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please go?" Angel squealed with joy. I pondered for a minute. I guess she was old enough to go to the movies with a boy. She was sixteen and she was very responsible.
"I guess you can go, but you have to be back by 10:30," I said, sternly. I didn't want to disappoint her, but I also had to keep Angel safe.
"Oh, my God, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Max, I'll be very, very, very good and do extra chores," Angel ran out of the room, with her cell phone out and ready to call all of her friends.
I looked at the clock. It was 5:20 already. The café closes early at 5:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. It was almost time for dinner.
"Hey Iggy, Brianna do you guys want to start dinner?" I asked them.
"Yeah, sure, we are right on it," Iggy and Brianna said in unison. They started to get the ingredients and whatever else they needed out of the fridge and cupboards. As they cooked dinner, I went to go check up on everyone. Fang was in his room reading a book. Angel was calling everyone she knew to tell them about her date on Friday. Nudge and Gazzy were still having their heated discussion. I sighed and went to sit on the couch ton read the news paper, which I had not been able to read all day.
"DINNER TIME," Brianna shouted.
"God, Brianna you are so loud sometimes," Iggy laughed as he slowly removed his hands from his ears.
"I know and I'm proud of it," Brianna smiled and I laughed as I walked into the kitchen and sat down in my seat. I was soon followed by everyone else. They all rushed in at once. They must have been hungry.
Everyone took their seats, and of course I was sitting in between Jinx and Fang. They were still glaring at each other. This was getting on my nerves big time. Iggy brought the food over to the table and everyone attacked like this was their last meal. I waited until everyone was done and then, I got my food. For once it was silent, and not an awkward silence either. I had enough awkward silences today.
Fang and Jinx were still glaring at each other. They were also having a race on who could eat the fastest. It didn't take long before the flock noticed what was going on. The flock just stared at them in shock. I just sat there with my head in my hands.
"Um, Max what's going on with them?" Brianna asked.
"They won't get along at all! It's been like this all day," I muttered.
"Oh," Brianna replied and went back to eating.
I hoped that things would get better between Fang and Jinx as the week progressed. I would have to talk to Jinx and make sure he was nice to Fang and welcomed him. I also had to talk to Fang about that kiss.
Ok I think that is a long enough chapter. Please review and I will update as soon as I can. I have no idea when that will be though. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please review.
