Chapter 9: Awkward

Chapter 9: Awkward!!

I was woken up by Fangs hand stroking my back right between my wings. He knows that I like it. God it feels wonderful. I didn't ever want to get up, but I had to.

"Alright guys, time to get up." I said lovingly kicking everyone to get them up.

"Uhhnnhhh." Nudge wailed as she rolled out of her spot. "I'm-"

"HUNGRY!!" we all finished for her in unison.

"Can we go get something to eat? We haven't eaten in 12 hours." Gazzy asked with an unusually childish voice.

"Yeah, but we cant get that much, because I only have like 30." I told them.

I felt so bad. I can't support all of these kids. What am I doing here.

"You're doing a great job Max. How do you think we have gotten this far." Angel thought to me.

I really have got to tell her to quit reading minds.

"Thank you Angel. But please quit reading my mind, sometimes I need to think about things." I thought back.

"Okay, sorry Max" she replied and I just nodded my head.

Every once in a while I would look over at Fang and catch him staring at me. Awkward!!

Once we had gotten our breakfast off the dollar menu at McDonalds™, we flew back to where we had slept. The wind was chilling, it felt so sooo good. It was exhilarating.

"Can we go swimming when we get done? There's a lake right across from here, I saw it when we were flying." Nudge asked.

"Yeah, Max. Can we?" Gazzer chimed in.

"Please?" Iggy decided to add his sarcastic vocals.

"Why not, Go on ahead, but do not cause Iggy any trouble." I told them implying that Iggy was now watching them since I didn't want to go.

"Wait why do I have to watch the little bas-" Ig started.

"IGGY! Mouth!!" I screamed.

"Sorry. But why do I have to watch them?"

"Because I need to talk to Fang about something and you want to go swimming, remember? You even said please!" I retorted.

"Fine. Guys come on if you're coming" Ig said as though it would kill him.

They left, leaving Fang and I to talk.

"You needed to talk to me?" Fang mentioned scaring the living daylights out of me since he hadn't said anything this whole time.

"Oh, yeah. Do you remember your dream from last night?" I asked hoping that he wouldn't get mad.

He gave me a confused look then started blushing.

"Uhm. Yeah." He said not looking me in the eyes.

"Well Angel saw that. You were dreaming too loud and she tapped into your thoughts." I told him trying not to laugh at the million different shades of red Fang was.

"OH MY DAMN!! Are you serious? Please don't tell me you are." Fang screamed looking like he was about ready to cry.

"I'm completely serious. I don't think that your dream will ever happen though Fang."

"Wait, you just keep calling it my dream. What did my dream consist of?" He asked as though I didn't know what I was talking about.

"Well, according to Angel, you wanted you and me in a bed together naked… but correct me if I'm wrong." I said with a matter-of-fact tone.

"Oh." Was all he said while his million shades of red were turning deeper.

"Look, M-Max, I-I'm really sor-ry you heard that." Fang apologized.

Wait, whoa. Did Fang really just apologize? Wow.

"It's fine. But I think we should go watch the kids before Iggy loses and/or blows them up." I said. I just really wanted to end this awkward conversation.

"True. Okay let's go." Fang rushed.

He was so embarrassed. Now I felt bad.
