Chapter 10

I woke up with warm arms around me. My body ached, and I tried desperately to ignore it. I groaned at the pain, and grabbed my stomach. "Max? Are you okay?"

I opened my eyes, Fang? "Hi," I said quietly.

Fang propped himself up on his elbows and looked down at me. "How do you feel?"

"I don't know it just hurts."

"I hate him," Fang said angrily.

"Join the club." Fang still had his arm wrapped around my waist, and my heart was racing. Fang's touch was like fire. Fang looked at me with his piercing eyes, and I lost myself in them. His eyes were the passageway to his soul.

We stayed there for what seemed like hours, but I know it was only a few minutes. I moved first by sitting up, and Fang just fell back on my bed. He looked peaceful lying there. I took a few deep breaths and found I was still sore, but the pain had subsided a lot.

Fang watched me closely and I tried to ignore it, but I could feel his stares. I turned around and said, "Why do you keep staring at me?" He shrugged. We sat in silence for a few minutes. "Did you mean what you said about me making you happy?"

"Every word," he said sitting up to look me strait in the eye.

"We barely know each other."

"I don't care. You're different than all those other girls." I didn't say anything. Fang pushed a piece of hair from my face and said, "I can talk to you. I can trust you. I want to spend time with you. I want you to trust me. I want your life to be better. I want to make it all go away."

I smiled. Just knowing that Fang cared made my life seem nearly perfect. "That means a lot to me Fang." Fang nodded. "I'm going to go shower. You can help yourself to some food if you want."

Fang acknowledged what I said and I went into the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror and saw the bruises that covered my body. Stupid Dylan. I showered and then put on a pair of baggy sweat pants and a tight t-shirt.

I walked out of the bathroom and Fang wasn't in my room. I guess he had decided to leave. I was starving, so I made my way down to the kitchen where I saw Fang standing in front of the stove. He turned around and said, "I made food."

"Is it good?" He shrugged. "Better than what I would have made."

Fang asked me to show him where the plates and everything were and while he made the food, I got everything else ready. He wouldn't let me see what he was making but it smelled delicious. Finally it was ready, and Fang put some on each of our plates. He had made tortellini, and let me tell you, it was delicious.

When we finished, I glared at Fang and said, "You stay in there while I do the dishes." Fang chuckled.

"Nothing would happen," Fang said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and started washing the dishes, and Fang and I just talked the whole time. When I finished I looked at the clock and saw it was almost ten. I began wondering if Fang was going to leave or not. I didn't exactly want him to leave, but if he wanted to I wouldn't stop him.

After I cleaned the dishes I walked over and leaned on the counter next to Fang. He looked at me and smiled. I blushed, why? I have no clue.

Fang looked at me and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't care."

"Movie?"

I nodded and we walked to the cabinet where I kept all the movies. I let Fang pick a movie and he settled on Star Trek, which I loved. I curled up on the couch and Fang sat next to me. I rested my head on his leg and he ran his hands through my hair. I made it through most of the movie before falling asleep happily on Fang.

I woke up, and we were still on the couch, but we were cuddled close together. Fang was on the outside of the couch, facing me and I was on the inside of the couch facing him. His arm was wrapped comfortably around my waste and I had my hands resting on his chest. I could get used to this.

I didn't dare move. I didn't want to wake him up. I sighed and Fang said, "I'm already awake."

I instantly blushed. "Oh, well, um, morning?"

"Morning," he said looking down at me. I didn't move, and neither did he. We stayed there until Fang said, "You want breakfast?"

"Sure," I said quietly, trying to avoid his gaze.

Fang got up and I missed his presence already. He went to the kitchen and started fumbling around. I thought about getting up and helping him, but you know how the kitchen and I get along. A few minutes later, Fang came over with a plate of scrambled eggs, yum.

I ate them quickly and then fell back on the couch. I felt a lot better than yesterday. Fang chuckled and said, "Let's go for a walk."

Random, yeah, but whatever, "Sure, let me go put on some different clothes."

I walked up to my room and put on a pair of sweat pants, a t-shirt and my converse. I pulled my hair back in a pony tail and walked back downstairs to see Fang washing dishes. I smiled. He was so sweet.

Fang saw me and said, "Ready?" I nodded. We walked out and we just walked. At first we didn't really say anything. I still didn't know why Fang wanted to go for a walk. I mean, it's not that exciting. Fang walked off the path and motioned for me to follow him.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see," Fang said with a smile on his face. God I loved that smile. We kept walking, and we were in the woods now. Do I need to tell you this is kind of creepy?

We made it to a ledge and Fang jumped down. He looked back at me. I didn't want to jump, it was a long way down. "I don't want to fall." That sentence meant more that the literal sense, and I hoped Fang knew that.

"Don't worry," he paused and looked into my eyes, "I'll catch you." He must have picked up on it. That sentence meant more to me than anything he'd ever said to me. I jumped and sure enough, Fang caught me.

I stood there in his arms for a few seconds before backing away awkwardly. We walked for a few minutes, and that's when I saw the most beautiful scenery. There was a small lake, but it was so peaceful. It was calm and untouched by society.

"I come here when I need to think," He paused, "you're welcome to use it too."

"It's beautiful," I said taking in the serenity. Fang sat down and closed his eyes. He looked at home right here. His features were soft and his breathing was slow. I sat next to him and said, "Why did you bring me here?"

"I wanted you to have a place to escape too," he said looking at me. I smiled. Fang was perfect in every way. We stayed there for a while and talking was easier there. There was no one there to listen, and secrets just flowed from our mouths. Fang told me everything about Lucy, and I told him everything about Dylan.

I knew Fang would keep my secrets and I would keep his, but I couldn't help but wonder what would happen after the project.

Fang looked at me and just stared at me. I wanted him to kiss me, I really did, but he just stared at me. I felt my cheeks flush with color. "We should get back. I have to pick up my little sister soon."

"I should get home soon anyways." We stood up and walked back to my house. Fang hugged me. I rested my head in the crook of his neck, and it fit perfectly. Fang rubbed my back and then whispered, "I'll talk to you later."

I nodded and Fang walked out.
