Okay, I know this chapter is super short and super sucky. I'm really sorry, but I'm seriously stuck. Have any ideas? Puh-lease tell me!
Max's POV
It's been two days since the blizzard knocked the electricity out. The electricity is still out and the blizzard is still going strong. Fang and I have managed to occupy ourselves by doing whatever chores we can do without electricity, which isn't much really. Pretty much all we can do is sweep, mop, and do the dishes. Luckily, we have a fireplace, so cooking is no big deal, but light on the other hand…Well, I need to save the battery on this flashlight.
I put my journal back where it belongs and joined Fang downstairs. He was roasting some marshmallows over the fireplace. I saw he also had graham crackers and chocolate with him and grinned. I sat down beside him, loving the heat radiating from the fire. Fang wrapped one arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, letting the fire and Fang warm me up. I don't know if you've ever realized this, but when you don't have electricity the heater doesn't work. And if the heater doesn't work in the dead of winter, it gets cold.
Very cold.
So for the past two days Fang and I have had a fire going and blankets wrapped around ourselves. With a snowstorm going strong outside, it just intensifies that cold weather. Iggy called yesterday to tell us Angel and Gazzy were stuck over with him and Nudge, and Ella and Mom call every now and then to make sure we haven't frozen to death, which is quite possible to happen in the current conditions.
"I'm so cold." I muttered, moving even closer to Fang. He chuckled and put a blanket around us. I smiled up at him, grateful for the warmth. He returned the smile and went back to his marshmallow over the fire. We sat in silence, Fang making a few s'mores and me just trying to not freeze. Fang kept his arm around me, running his hand up and down my bare shoulder, since I was obviously not bright enough to think to put on a sweater. I move even closer to Fang, ready to sit in his lap because I'm so cold. But he, of course, beats me to it by putting down the rod he was using to roast the marshmallows, pulling me into his lap and wrapping his arms around me. I smiled as he rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Hey, Max?" He whispered.
"Yeah?" I murmured, tracing random patterns on his hand.
"I love you." He said and kissed my cheek. I grinned at him.
"I love you, too." I said and kissed him lightly. He returned the smile and picked up the small plate of s'mores.
"Want one?" He asked. I grabbed one and bit into it, the chocolate and marshmallows falling out of the other end. I giggled.
And so ends another night in the life of Maximum Ride.
Remember ideas!Please!
