Hey guys, sorry for the delay... This one is going to be a little longer, okay? :)

DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN CLAIRE AND THE PLOT

Fang

Dear God in Heaven, what have I done? I just kissed a girl for goodness sake. I am so screwed. What if she doesn't like me anymore? Or, what if she doesn't want to see me ever again? What if I-

My thoughts were cut off by Max getting up. I didn't really want to leave just yet, but I guess we should leave considering what happened and all...

"So want to head back to my place? It's seven."

"Yeah sure." Atleast she still wanted me to be around, right?

"I'll grab my stuff and then we'll start to head back, sound good?"

"Yeah."

I still can't believe I kissed her! Even if it was a second long, and was an accident, I feel stupid and embarrassed.

We collected our stuff that we had thrown everywhere and headed back to my RedRim. I give her my helmet and then we're off.


Once we reach her house, it's 7:30 or so. We both get drier clothes on, me in black basketball shorts and a thin gray-ish black v-neck and Max in light blue sleep shorts and a white rugged tank top, we snuggled up on the couch. The kiss is almost forgotten.

Neither of us are tired, so we watch I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. It's a funny 2007 Adam Sandler movie. At times Max would laugh so hard that she would make clicking sounds in the back of her throat. It sort of sounded like a crab... This is going to be great blackmail.

While watching the comedy I put my arm up on the back of the couch, trying to get comfortable. Max decided to stretch out and lean against me, placing her head on my shoulder and arms around my waist.

By the time the movie had finished Max was asleep and making baby dinosaur noises. In other words soft sounds that come from her throat while her mouth is open. It's cute. I smile to myself.

I pick her up and frown. I knew that she was going to be light, but I figured she would be a little heavier. She couldn't have been more than 100 pounds, tops. She is a 6 feet tall and 23 year old woman. She should atleast be 20-30 pounds heavier.

I wandered around, looking for her room with her in my arms. When I finally found it I laid her in the bed and turned around to go sleep on the couch. Her hand shot out and softly grabbed my own and lightly tugged.

"Stay." She whispered.

I sighed and looked down at her. We had kissed today! I thought I screwed everything up, but I guess I hadn't. I took off my shirt, but kept my basketball shorts on. Then I slid into her bed.


Max

I remember watching the movie, but not all of it. I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew I was dreaming. About Fang, Dylan, and I. Let me tell you, that it might have been the best dream and the worst dream I have ever had at the same time.

Fang and I were back on the boulder. We were kissing like it was any normal day out for a couple. I was in my bathing suit, and he was in his. I was lying down on my back with my hands on his chest and he was hovering over me, his hands on either side of my shoulders. I didn't get the sense or feeling to run. It felt natural. I again felt the warmth of comfort and maybe love?

I broke the kiss, smiled and looked up at him. He smiled back and then was roughly torn off of me. Next thing I knew I was back in the alleyway with Dylan over me. I was thrashing. I looked over to where Fang would have been and saw him slumped over and groaning.

"Fang help!" I struggled to get the words to form.

"Shut up you stupid little whore! You are worthless and that whimpy piece of gay trash ain't gonna save you this time."

It was like this was happening for a second time. It wasn't like the past nightmares. It was like a warning. A warning that I was going to have to face him again.

"Fang!" I whimpered.

"Huh?" Fang looked up and saw me under Dylan. He soon rushed over to my side and got Dylan off of me. Again I just stood off to the side and watches Fang beat him up. Once Dylan was on the floor struggling to breathe Fang walked over to me. He hugged me close to him.

"Max, wake up."

When I opened my eyes I saw two dark orbs and delicious abs. Dear God, why am I always attracted to his abs?

"I didn't say anything last time Max, but please, my eyes are up here."

I blushed and looked up. "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

"Sorry but I am going to continue worrying about you, because you keep thrashing in your sleep."

"Oh sorry." I was slurring because sleep was once again taking me over. I closed my eyes as Fang shifted beside me so he was face up. I snuggled up into his chest and he wrapped his arms around me in a comforting manner. I could definetly get use to this. I wrapped my arms around his waist and fell alseep once again.


When I awoke I was still laying on top of Fang's chest with his arms around me. He was still sleeping so I decided to just wait it out until he woke up. I drew small circle around on his chest and abs. I became amused when I drew circles on his abs, because they would twitch.

After about thirty minutes of waiting I decided to start poking his face. I poked his nose, his cheeks, his forehead, his chin, his lips, and finally his eyes. I got startled when he put a piece of stray hair behind my ear without opening his eyes.

"Would you like to tell me why you are poking my face?" His voice was deeper than it normally was since he just woke up.

"Ummm, no reason..." I drifted off, not knowing what to say.

"Okay."

He got up and out of the bed and stretched. He checked the clock and saw that it was nine.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"I actually have to go because of Sam. I don't want him to trash my apartment. Sorry."

"No, it's fine. Want to go to church tonight? At 7 there is a service on Fridays..."

"That sounds great, I'll pick you up in my beat up truck if Nudge, Gaz, and/or Ange want to come. Sound good?"

"That sounds great. I'll ask them. See ya?"

"Yeah." He smiled, put his shirt on and grabbed his stuff. Then he went over to me and kissed me forehead. I smiled up at him and kissed his cheek. I saw his eyes brighten just a little.

Then he was off to deal with his own problems, and I was left to my thoughts.


Fang

I left Max's apartment happy. Not only did I get a kiss on the cheek from Max, but I also don't think that the kiss damaged our friendship.

I was also stoked when Max asked me to go to church with her. That means she wants to spend more time with me. I know that we have only known each other for a couple of days, only two, but I felt oddly comfortable with her. It's like we have always known each other. God put us in each others lives.

Now to sort things out with Sam.

You see, my whole family is junked up. From the two families living in one home to the part where they all cheating on each other, it got very confusing. I have a half brother (Sam), who has a half brother (Dylan) - they have the same mum. Now I'm not related to Dylan by blood, so he isn't my brother, thank God. He is messed up.

Anyway, I have to deal with Sam and Dylan, even though we all share a mutual hate for each other.

When I got home Sam was passed out drunk on the couch, mumbling something about 'hot babes' and other explicit things innocent minds would prefer not to hear. I woke him up, gave him some medicine for his upcoming head ache and drove him back to his apartment complex in my black truck (a Ford pickup truck). He wobbled off and the proceeded shouted at me to leave.

I gladly left and went back to my apartment, thinking about Max.

It was already 11:30 by the time I got back, so I took a shower, shaved, brushed my teeth, etc. And had lunch, consisting of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I then went back into my room and got on my laptop.


Sorry for not updating...

I saw The Conjuring... Thoughts? No spoilers for people who haven't seen it though...

It wasn't scary in my opinion... I only flinched when there was a part about wrists, and that's because of personal preference. Good movie though.

SOTC

When the day has come
That I've lost my way around
And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground
When the sky turns gray
And everything is screaming
I will reach inside
Just to find my heart is beating

Hope you guys had a wonderful and safe day (and past week or so).

Thanks for reviewing you guys, you know who you are. :3
