Chapter 10: You Had Me At Hello
Fang was the last of the flock to go. He got up to go to the stage, but after walking a few feet, he turned back. Leaning over me, he whispered in my ear, "This one's for you." Then he kissed me for a few seconds and went to the stage.
When he got there, he took the mic in his hands and said into it before the music started, "This one's for my girl, the girl of my dreams. Max." I have to say that I blushed like I've never blushed before at that statement. Never in a million years had I imagined someone would dedicate a song to me. It was beautiful. Fang started to sing.
I'm missing you so much, I'll see you die tonight
Just so I can get to you before the sun will rise
I know the signs are on and I feel this too
None of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you
Fang looked directly at me and smiled. He was doing the exact same thing that Iggy did and was holding the microphone as it was on the stand with both hands.
What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
It was right then more than anything that I wanted him, and it was more clear than ever that we were meant to be together. Without even knowing it, I smiled. And it was not a small smile, it was a grin. An ear to ear grin.
"Max. What makes you so happy at the moment?" Nudge, sitting next to me, asked.
I glanced at her then looked back at Fang, "Oh. Nothing." I was still smiling.
Would it be okay?
Would it be okay if I took your breath away?
What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies (you are so cute)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies (you are so cute)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
And for a few seconds he stood there, smiling at me, letting the moment sink in. But a few seconds was too long for me to wait and I lurched out of my chair and pushed through a few people to get to him. He saw me coming and followed suit. When I finally reached him, I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him to me and kissed him with all the passion I had. The crowd cheered louder, a few whistled.
Finally, we broke apart, smiling. After looking deeply into each others eyes for a moment, he kissed me again.
'I love you, Max.' he said, breaking apart once again.
I looked him dead in the eyes. Then I told him the same, and kissed him again.
I will confess. I hadn't exactly pictured our first 'I love you' 's to be in a resteraunt full of people with the entire flock standing back at the table whistling and cheering at us.
We stood there, foreheads against each other's, for another moment. Just smiling. Then I started laughing and he did too. We sat back down.
Gazzy clapped Fang on the back, Angel and Nudge smiling, Iggy looked kinda sad, but I think he was happy for us. I love our little family. I love Fang more than the rest though. That much I know.
A/N: Wouldn't we all love to have the kind of love that Max and Fang have. It's just so beautiful...tear. tear
Question for my loved Reviewers: Should I have Fang give an encore??? I have a really good song for him...and I think it'd be good. What do you think???
Next chapter: Could be an encore...could be that this is the last chapter. Or maybe it could be the awards or whatever.
Review and let me know what you think!
