Chapter 11
MAX
I stood there, startled as Fang's soft, warm lips pressed against mine, fitting to my lips like a missing puzzle piece.
Fangs hand was gently resting on my cheek, his warmth searing my skin. His hand that was holding my waist was sending sparks through my entire body. I could feel his lips moving against mine, soft and warm and firm.
It felt like I was coming awake from a long sleep.
And then I was kissing him back.
Both of my hands went around his neck, one running through his soft, shaggy hair. I felt a smile grace his lips and I smiled into the kiss too. We were in our own separate world, apart from all else. Just us. Kissing.
Snow was falling. I could feel it freckling my cheeks, but I didn't care. Fang was so warm.
Fang eventually pulled away to touch his nose to mine.
His eyes were the happiest I'd ever seen them. I shivered involuntarily.
"You cold?" Fang murmured, pulling my closer to him so that my chin was resting on his chest and my face was tilted up to face his.
I shook my head with a stubborn grin on my face.
"You're such a liar." Fang chuckled, leaning down to place a quick peck on my lips.
"Mmmhmm." I murmured, burying my face into his chest as he wrapped his arms tighter around me.
"Do you wanna go inside?" Fang asked into my hair.
I shook my head slightly. "No I wanna stay here!"
"And freeze?" Fang laughed, his chest rumbling. "Nope. We're going inside before you get sick."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs and back into the hallway of the penthouse.
I laughed loudly and then gasped as I tripped and felt the ground rushing toward me. I closed my eyes only to be swept up and into Fangs arms.
"You, my dear, need to be more careful on your feet." Fang murmured.
"Why would I when you'll be there to catch me?" I winked.
"Very true." Fang laughed, setting me on my feet.
We stepped inside of the apartment and were welcomed by a clattering sound of pots and pans as somebody slipped in the kitchen.
"Gosh darn it!" Gazzy yelled. "YO IG?! Why the frick did you leave that slop of tomato sauce on the floor?!"
"For that exact reason!" Iggy cackled from the other room.
"I'm going to kill you." Gazzy shrieked, appearing from the kitchen smothered in tomato sauce from last night's pasta.
Iggy laughed evilly and ran from Gazzy, Nudge trailing along behind him.
"Touch me and you don't get dinner!" Iggy yelled at Gazzy.
Gazzy froze. "You're lying."
"Am not. I make the meals. That means I decide who eats them." Iggy put his hands on his hips like a girl.
Gazzy glared angrily at his older brother.
I whispered to Fang. "That's not really going to work is it?"
"Just watch." Fang chuckled.
With a last angered glance at Iggy, Gazzy stormed out of the room, peeling off his tomato sauce covered shirt as he slammed the bathroom door grumbling something about revenge.
"So how was the roof?" Iggy asked with a wiggle of his eyebrows.
"The view was great." I smirked.
"Oh I'm sure it was." Iggy nodded, already understanding what was happening.
"Okay I'm like so lost." Nudge sighed. "I mean seriously it's like you and Fang can communicate with each other through glances and you and Iggy have this secret language or something like that. Secret languages are so cool. I mean they're like all spy like and stuff and it's just so cool because gosh it would be so great to be a secret agent with all those gadgets and gizmoz galore and—"
"Nudge. Nudge. NUDGE!" I had to yell three times in order to get her attention.
"Yeah?" She asked. "Oh sorry was I ranting again?"
I nodded.
"Whoops. I really need to get that under control because if I don't then I'm just gonna keep babbling on and on and on and on and on and—"
"Nudge…" I said warningly.
"on." She finished.
"What are you making Ig?" I asked.
He shrugged. "I dunno. I've been busy pranking Gazzy."
"Well going out to eat is impossible." Jacob said as he came into the room.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"Because there'd be people, meaning paparazzi and fans, everywhere and it'd be impossible to eat anything with a microphone shoved into your personal space." Jacob said.
"Ah I see."
"Yup." Jacob nodded. "Ig do you think you could make something quick? We need to recheck our pitches and chords for our concert. Incase you forgot, it's tomorrow."
Iggy did a spit take with the water he'd been drinking. "WHAT?! No that can't be right."
Fangs mouth was hanging open, I reached up and shut it for him, muttering. "You'll catch flies."
He looked down at me, grinned a little, then looked back at Jacob. "I guess I kinda lost track of time these past few days…" Fang said, his eyes flickering to me.
"We'll need to be at the Energy Center at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to check acoustics and mics and staging."
Iggy nodded then turned to Nudge excitedly. "How do you feel about going to a concert?"
Nudge's mouth went slack. "Seriously? Like backstage passes and everything?"
"More of inside access into everything that happens on concert day for us."
"Yes please." Nudge breathed.
"Jacob?" Fang asked permission from Jacob.
"I don't care, it's up to them. Just know that they probably will be seen by the paparazzi."
Fang nodded and looked down at me. "It's up to you." He murmured. "Don't do anything you don't want to do."
I stared back up at him. "I don't really care if they know who I am. I'm looking at it as a new adventure." I grinned at him.
Fang grinned easily at me and slung an arm over my shoulders. "Okay now back to food. What are we eating?!"
"I'll make some macaroni and cheese." Iggy sighed, walking into the kitchen and grabbing a pan off the floor. "Hey Nudgy! Wanna learn how to cook something other than spaghetti?"
Nudge squealed excitedly and dashed over to Iggy.
"Not so fast Missy." I called to her, then looked at Jacob. "You got a piano?"
Jacob nodded toward a keyboard in the corner of the room.
"Nudge, go sit over there and show them your freaking talent. I did it, now you do it." I growled.
With a terrified look and a gentle nudge from Iggy, she walked towards the keyboard.
She gently placed her fingers over the keys and started playing a slow beat.
"I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I
Couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I'd hoped you'd see my face, and that you'd be reminded that for me…
It isn't over
Never mind I'll find someone like you
And I wish nothing but the best…
For you, too"
She sang clearly and crisply in her perfect pitch and slowly faded her voice out.
"Nudge why didn't you say you could sing?!" Iggy yelled.
Nudge shrugged self-consciously. "I didn't think I was that good."
"Because you're not that good." Iggy said. "You're that great."
With a blush Nudge pulled herself to Iggy and buried her face in his chest. "Oh shut up."
I laughed at her. "Nice job Nudgy."
"You shut up too." She glared.
"Oh you know you love me for it."
She shrugged and smiled at Iggy.
After eating all the Mac n' cheese, the guys settled in for a little powwow about the impending concert.
"So let's start with Everybody Talks. Then we'll just go through the rest of the album and close with Paradise. Sound good?" Jacob said to the guys and a freshly showered Gazzy.
They nodded.
"Same stunts and moves?" Fang asked.
"Yup. With a little improve here and there as usual." Jacob grinned.
"Perfect." Iggy beamed.
And so, the powwow ended.
The night drew to a close when we put in a movie and started eating ice cream.
I fell asleep with my head in Fang's lap, excitement for the day to come coursing through my veins.
