Max's POV

I yawned and stretched, looking out the window and admiring the sun as I did so. I glanced over at Fang sleeping peacefully next to me and thought back to the crazy night we had had.

"Max?" Fang mumbled, keeping his eyes closed.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Have you decided if you're going to be wearing a bikini or not?" He muttered, a slow smile showing on his face.

"No I haven't. And I'm not going to tell you, you're just going to have to see for yourself," I grinned at him and winked.

"Fangy, could you go get me some clothes, please?" I batted my eyelashes at him, encouraging him with a long kiss. He fell for it. Fang stood up, pulled some pants on and walked over to my room. He came back with one of the new outfits Ella had gotten for me.

My eyes bulged when I saw what I had bought. In Fang's hands was a pink low cut tank top, dark wash jean short shorts and black sandals. I groaned, which only caused his smirk to grow.

"You told me to go get you clothes. Well here you go," he said, extending the pile out to me. I gave him a death glare and snatched the clothes out of his hands. I paused for a second to admire his bare eight pack abs and muscular chest and arms before walking into the bathroom to take a shower.

Iggy's POV

I opened my sightless blue eyes and saw the saw blackness I saw when I closed them. I suddenly remembered what we were doing today and couldn't wait to get started. I needed to look good today. I climbed out of my bed and practically ran over to Ella's room, not even bothering to put on a shirt.

I heard her deep breathing that let me know that she was sleeping. I crept up to her bed and gently kissed her cheek.

"Ella?" I asked softly, not wanting to startle her.

"I'm awake," she mumbled, scooting over to make room for me on her bed. She patted the spot next to her and I sat down.

Ella's POV

"I'm awake," I mumbled, scooting over to make room for Iggy and patting the spot I made to tell him to sit. He did as I wanted him to and sat on the edge of the bed. I yawned loudly and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. Iggy came to focus and I smiled at his lack of shirt. He might be tall and skinny, but he has a lot of hidden muscle under his shirt.

I grabbed his pale neck and pulled him closer to me for a hug. I kissed his cheek and admired his strawberry blonde hair.

"Can you help me pick out my clothes today?" he asked me, looking close to my face.

"Of course I will," I answered with a smile, "Come on," I took his hand and began walking towards his room.

We walked into Iggy's room and I let go of his hand to open his dresser. I found a navy blue polo and a pair of dark wash jeans. I handed them to Iggy and he took them, thanking me and heading to his bathroom to shower.

I headed back to my room to pick out clothes and shower as well.

Gazzy's POV

"Hey Nudge, do you like this?" I asked, twirling around to show her my outfit.

She nodded, "Looks good, Gaz," she said, fixing my small spikes. I nodded my thanks and observed her red sundress.

"Let's head out to the living room to wait for the others," I suggested, holding my hand out for her to take as we trudged to the living room.

Fang's POV

"Alright everyone, let's go!" Dr. M ordered. I sighed at having to drive to the restaurant and beach instead of fly.

"Dr. M, we can fly and I can carry you," I suggested hopefully.

She shook her head, "Thank you Fang, but I would like to drive." I nodded glumly and ducked my head as I entered the car I would be driving.

"Why do you get to drive?" Iggy asked me as he sat in the passenger seat.

I shrugged, forgetting that he couldn't see it, "Because if a cop sees a blind kid driving, he's gonna flip."

It was decided that Dr. M would drive her Mercedes, Max would drive her mom's Pt Cruiser and I would drive her mom's black SUV. Iggy, Gazzy and Ari would come with me, Ella would go with Max, and Nudge and Angel would go with Dr. M.

Ella's POV

"Why did I end up in the tiny car?" Max asked with a groan.

"Sorry Max," I said, climbing into the passenger's seat.

"Do we have to go to the restaurant with the boys? Or can we just go to the beach?" She asked.

"Um, I think we have to go to the restaurant," I answered. Max started up the car and pulled out of the driveway.

"So, where exactly did you sleep last night?" I asked, holding back the smile I was feeling. She gave me a glare.

"Fang's room."

"On the floor?" I asked, teasing her further.

"No, in his bed. With him," she answered as her cheeks turned a light pink.

"Are you going to tell me what happened or do I have to force it out of you?" I said so quick she would be lucky if she caught the first word. I waited a long time before she answered me.

"Okay, fine. I slept with Fang. Twice," she answered with her eyes on the road, blushing a deep red.

I gawked at her, "Twice?" I screeched.

"Yes, twice. Once earlier in the night and then again when everyone was going to sleep," she answered softly, not daring herself to look at me.

"And how was it?" I asked nosily.

Max's POV

I hated this conversation with a burning passion.(AN this is my saying. I felt it fit.) It was awful having to talk about my feelings, especially with something like this. It made me feel so vulnerable and weak, not at all like the almighty Maximum Ride everyone says I am.

"And how was it?" I froze, not knowing how to tell my sister the answer to her question. I could feel her gaze on me, but I refused to give in.

"Good," I said simply, nodding my head. I could tell that she was about to explode with impatience.

"Max!" she yelled, "Talk to me!" she turned my head towards her and showed me her glare.

I pulled my head back to look at the road and noticed that we were approaching the restaurant and Angel would be able to hear our thoughts. Relief washed over me as I felt my face return to its normal color.

"I can't. We're here. Clear your head of all these thoughts, Angel is within hearing distance," I ordered, begging that she would so I wouldn't have to talk to Angel about it.

"So did you have a nice chat?" Fang smirked at me as he slipped his arm over my shoulders.

"What are you talking about?" I asked innocently.

"Iggy told me that Ella was going to ask you about the sex we had," he said, a smug grin sitting on his face. I returned to my earlier dark red color and looked away from him.

"So what did you say?" He asked hopefully.

"I avoided the question for as long as I could and then we got here," I answered as Fang's smirk dropped.

"Hey! That's not fair!" He objected as we walked into the building. He let his arm drop to his side.

"Excuse me," Fang said to the hostess, a sexy smile spreading across his face. She returned his smile and flipped her hair. Ew. "Me and my brothers would like to apply for a job. Can we see the manager?"

"Of course! I'll be right back!" she said a little too happily as she gave Fang a huge smile before running off. He chuckled.

"Fang my man, you are a lady killer," Iggy said with a grin, patting Fang on the back.

Fang shrugged, keeping his smug smile on, "What can I say? I'm just irresistible." I held back the urge to roll my eyes just as the hostess came back with a man who looked in his twenties.

"Hi, I'm Peter Williams. I'm the manager of Bonefish Grill. You guys need a job?" He asked, looking at Fang and Iggy. Peter was a handsome, tall man with tan skin, messy blonde hair and blue eyes.

Iggy's POV

"Yes we do. I'm Jeff Ride," I shook the man's hand, "Nice to meet you Mr. Williams."

"Oh, please, just call me Pete," he answered shaking my hand with a firm grip, "And you are?"

"Nick Ride," Fang answered, most likely shaking his hand as well, "And this is Zephyr and. . ." Fang paused, not knowing how to refer to Ari.

"Eric, pleased to meet you," Ari answered, saving Fang the trouble of thinking up a name.

"So, do the four of you need jobs?" he paused, "You need to be sixteen to work here," he stated, probably looking at Ari's boyish face.

Angel's POV

Angel, you're on. Max thought to me.

Okay, Max, I'll try.

"Nick and Jeff are 18 and Zephyr and Eric are 16," I answered his unspoken question.

Huh. That boy, Eric, doesn't look 16. He looks about 14 or 15.

"Eric is 16," I forced into his head over and over again until he nodded.

"If anyone gives you any trouble about that, tell them that he is 16 and you've seen his birth certificate," I persisted until he nodded again.

"Give all four of these boys jobs right now. Do whatever you have to in order to give them jobs. Tell them that they are hired," I shoved into his head.

"Congrats, boys! You're hired!" Pete said with a smile, shaking each one's hand warmly before beginning to tell them the guidelines and expectations.

I smiled deviously at my work as Max said, "You scare me sometimes, Angel."

"Okay, well that was . . . interesting," Dr. M said, "Let's go to the beach. Boys come home when you're let off." They all nodded and headed off with Pete to begin.

Max's POV

Ella and I sat in silence most of the way there, making small talk to fill any awkward silences. When we finally arrived, we walked straight up to the only building in the beach, besides the bathrooms. I took in my surroundings habitually, seeing tourists and locals playing in the sand and water.

We opened the door and marched up to the front desk where a teenage boy was sitting, looking incredibly bored. He perked up when he saw us. Ugh, sexist pig.

"Hi, how may I help you?" he asked, surprisingly polite. He looked at all of us, waiting for an answer.

"My sisters and I would like jobs as lifeguards. Is it possible?" I asked firmly.

The boy shrugged, "I'm not sure, I'll go get my manager," he said as he stood up and disappeared into the hallway behind the desk.

"What are you picking up from him Angel?" I asked quickly and quietly.

"He's curious as to why we all want jobs, and he wants to tell me that I need to be 16 to work here," she answered lightly. I groaned, knowing that Angel will have to mind control here too.

I'm sorry Max.

It's okay Angel, just don't do it without my permission. She nodded ever so slightly just as a woman who looked to be in her thirties approached us with a smile on her face.

"Hi, my name is Angela James, you can just call me Angela. You girls need a job?" She asked, observing all of us.

"Yes we do. My name is Krystal," Nudge answered shortly.

"I'm Ella," Ella said with a small smile.

"I'm Max and this is my little sister Ariel," I introduced, gesturing to Angel as she gave the woman a sweet smile.

"It's very nice to meet all of you," she paused, "Hun, you need to be 16 to work here. Are you?" she turned to Angel with a maternal look on her face.

I watched as Angela's face glazed over and Angel's fill with determination.

"Congratulations, you are all hired!" Angela stated excitedly, snapping out of her trance. I felt bad about making Angel mind control two people in one day, but it was somewhat necessary.

I saw the teenage boy who was at the desk earlier return to his original spot. I was curious as to who he was, so I approached him and waited for him to look up.

"Hi," I said.

"Hey, I'm Mike," he said, sticking out to his hand to shake mine.

"I'm Max," I replied, shaking his hand. I examined him to make sure he wasn't an eraser or anything. He had medium-length messy brown hair that had side swept bangs, chocolate brown eyes, a big white smile, and looked about as muscular as Iggy. He stood up and stretched, showing that he was several inches taller then myself. Most girls would think that he was hot, but after seeing Fang, this boy didn't even compare.

He seemed pretty normal, so I gave him a warm smile and started making conversation, "Are you a lifeguard too?"

"Yeah. When you work here, you switch between sitting in here at desks and saving lives out there," he said smoothly.

"Oh. Well that sounds alright," I said, nodding my head.

Fang's POV

"Congrats, boys! You're hired!" Pete said with a smile, shaking each one of our hands warmly before beginning to tell us the guidelines and expectations. "Would all of you want to be on the same shift?"

"Yes, if possible. It would be easiest for all of us to be here at the same time," I answered. Pete nodded, contemplating the possibility.

"I think I could make that work. Your shift would have to be from 9am-4pm with a 1 hour break at 12 o'clock," he searched through a file, "You would be working on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, is that okay?"

I nodded, "Sounds great! When do we start?"

"Right now!" he said with a grin, handing us huge books, "These are your manuals, you need to read them thoroughly before you can actually work. Come talk to me if you have any questions." I flipped through the book.

I exchanged panicked looks with Iggy as I ran after Pete, "Excuse me!" I yelled as he came to a stop.

"Yes, Nick?" he asked politely.

"Um, Eric and Zephr can't read much, I can't read very well either, and Jeff is blind," I said embarrassed.

He looked at me, his face matching the embarrassment I was feeling, "I am so sorry, I forgot that Jeff was blind!"

"It's alright, but we can't read very well."

He looked at me like I was crazy, "Why can't you read?"

"We can," I quickly corrected, "Just not very well. We all have a learning disorder that makes it hard for us to read," I covered.

"What do you have?" he asked, concerned. Shit! I thought as I frantically racked my brain for a disorder.

"Dyslexia," I lied smoothly as soon as I thought of it. Is that right?

Pete confirmed my disorder, "Oh, okay. Well would you like someone to read you the credentials?" He asked, concern covering his face.

I nodded and thanked him while he found some employees that weren't busy. He came back with three teenagers, two being guys and one being the girl I recognized as the hostess from before. I mentally groaned when I saw her elated smile at the sight of me as she rushed towards me to read for me.

I watched as the two guys split up, one going towards Iggy and the other towards Gazzy and Ari. I turned around and saw that the girl's smile had not gone away, but had only widened, if that was possible.

"Hi," she said, trying to hide her smile.

"Hey," I said quietly, not returning her grin.

"I'm Nicole," she said, her white teeth showing in her perfect smile.

"Nick," I nodded my head at her.

"I'm glad you got the job."

"Me too," I said with no emotion, "Can you read this to me, please?" I asked nicely.

She grinned flirtatiously, "Why don't we do something else?" she asked as she pushed me against the wall and tried to kiss me. I lifted my head so my lips were out of her reach and switched positions so I was restraining her against the wall.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked angrily.

"You are too hot to resist," she answered, trying to kiss me again. I gripped her wrists tighter.

"I have a girlfriend!" I half-yelled, giving her an evil death glare.

Her eyes widened in shock, "I didn't know that! I am so sorry!" she said genuinely. I released her and looked at her for the first time, taking in her appearance. She was a short girl, probably only being about 5'2. She had very tan skin, chocolate brown hair and eyes, a large, white smile, and a skinny build. She had a carefree look in her eye. Most would consider her very pretty, but I only had eyes for Max.

"Was it that blonde girl that was with you earlier today?" Nicole asked me, the apologetic look remaining on her face.

I nodded, "Yeah, that was Max."

She smiled, "She's extremely pretty. I was really jealous of her."

I nodded again, "Thanks," I said not knowing what else to say to that.

"I really am sorry for before. I don't know what came over me! I'm never like that," she apologized again.

"It's alright. Can you read to me now?" I asked as polite as I could. Embarrassment flashed on her face for a second before she composed herself.

"Oh! Yeah, sorry, I kinda forgot about that!" She said loudly, blushing at her earlier behaviors.

She began to read the highlighted parts of the manual to me and the mood lightened dramatically as we laughed and talked.

Pete came back with the smile he left with still on his face, "Everyone briefed?"

I half-smiled at him and glanced at Nicole, "Yeah I think we're good," I stated, glancing around at Iggy, Gazzy and Ari. They all nodded their heads in agreement.

Iggy's POV

I heard footsteps come into the room Gazzy, Ari and I were waiting in. I distantly heard Fang talking to some girl that I recognized as the hostess from before. The footsteps separated and one set came towards me.

"Hey, man, I'm Blake," the boy introduced in a voice almost as deep as Fang's.

"Jeff," I nodded at him as I moved my sightless eyes to where I had heard his voice. I heard him sit down in a chair and sigh.

"So I'm supposed to read this to you?" He asked, obviously bored.

"Yeah, but just the highlighted parts," I answered, frustrated that he wasn't putting any effort into making his voice sound even slightly entertained.

"Aight," he said, trying to sound cool. He read all of the main things to me as I nodded every once in awhile.

"Hey, Megan," he said in a flirtatious tone, probably talking to the set of footsteps that were walking by.

"In your dreams, Blake," she said, returning his flirty attitude, "Who's this?" she asked, probably looking at me. Blake nudged me.

"I'm Jeff," I said with a grin, "I'm blind in case you haven't noticed, and yes, I can feel that you are staring at me. So please, would you kindly stop," I said in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Oh, sorry," she muttered, clearly embarrassed that I had noticed her stare, "I'm Megan by the way. I would stay and chat, but I have to get back to work," I listened as she walked away.

"That's my girl," Blake said in a way that made me believe that he only wishes she was.

"You guys are dating?" I asked.

"Well, no, not quite. But she is so damn hot!" Blake said, probably thinking perverted thoughts. I grinned at him, this was my kind of friend.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" he asked me, coming out of his trance.

"Yes I do. She is gorgeous," I grinned again and wiggled my eyebrows up and down.

"Nice man!" Blake returned my grin, "But uh, aren't you blind? How can you see her?"

"It's weird but I can see when everything is white. So, she took me to a specially prepared all white restaurant and dressed in all white so I was able to see her," I said as I remembered the perfect dinner.

"Wow, that's cool! Was she the light-colored brunette from when you guys came in?" he asked. I nodded, grinning proudly, "Damn bro she was hot!" he said, giving me a pat on the back.

"Thanks, man!" I said, glad that I could talk like this to him. If I ever tried talking to Fang like this, he would go all Max on me and call me a "sexist pig".

I looked up when I heard someone approach us, "Everyone briefed?" I recognized as Pete.

Gazzy's POV

"Yeah I think we're good," Fang answered for everyone. I nodded my agreement, seeing that Ari and Iggy were doing the same thing.

"Alright, then," Pete paused, looking at his watch, "Wow! Four already? That was fast! I guess you guys are free to go, your shift is over. Come back on Wednesday at 9," he said, his carefree grin never leaving his face.

I grinned when I realized that work went by a lot faster than I thought it would. We were only here for a few hours, but it still went by pretty quickly.

"Let's go guys!" I squealed. Fang and Iggy laughed at my high-pitched voice and I blushed. I cleared my throat and said, "Fang are you going to be driving again?" I tried my best to use my low voice, which only caused Iggy to crack up again.

"Well duh! Of course he is my little trooper!" Iggy mocked, ruffling my hair and using Max's nickname for me.

"Shut up, Iggy!" I shouted. I shoved him into the wall and continued on with a look of anger on my face.

"Hey! Play nice!" Fang scolded as he shoved me in front of him and held Iggy back as he lunged for me.

I snarled menacingly as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around, ready to punch Iggy. I was caught by surprise as I saw Ari standing there and quickly pulled down my fist.

"Sorry, dude, thought you were Iggy," I said as I shrugged my shoulders and tried to get ahold of my temper.

"It's okay. Hey man I never really asked you," he paused, seeming to be internally battling with himself whether or not to continue.

"Never really asked me what?" I prodded, stopping to face him. He looked down at his feet and muttered something so quietly I couldn't even hear it. "What?"

"I never really asked you if it was okay if I was with Angel. I know that you are very protective of her and I don't want to come between you two," he glanced up and me and looked relieved that I wasn't angry at him.

"Yeah, it's fine. You're like a brother to me now. I consider you part of the flock," he brightened when I said this, "But, if you ever hurt her, I will hurt you," I said in all seriousness.

He nodded and thanked me before climbing into the backseat of the car.
