*Drum roll please* aaaaaaaand here's another chapter!!! I apologize for not getting it up sooner but I was at my G-ma's all spring break and she doesn't have wireless so I was unable to put up any new chapters. But, on the bright side, I'm back home now, where we DO have wireless and am putting up another chapter.
Just a heads up, you guys might hate me after this chapter
–smiles shiftily-
And also, I was able to slip in some Fax and there's a MAJOR cliffe at the end. God, sometimes I just love being an author!! Any who, please enjoy :D
Max POV
"Take me to your leader." I said it in the scariest and most inflectionless voice I could manage, and I guess it worked because Gazzy looked like he was about to pee his pants. In fact, the whole flock looked scared shitless. Which of course, made me crack up. They could look death in the eye without blinking and fight crazy experiments without even flinching, but when it came to aliens, man they were wimps.
I let out a giggle before I could contain myself and soon realized that I couldn't stop. It was just too funny. They were looking at Fang and me with big wide eyes and blank faces; probably shocked out of their minds. I looked over at Fang and realized that he was actually laughing. Not even chuckling quietly. He was plain out laughing, which made me smile a HUGE smile and laugh even harder.
This is how life is supposed to be. You're supposed to be able to laugh and play around and have fun and love people. My life had been a living hell for so many years that it's amazing and almost impossible to believe this is how my life will be now. No worrying about where the Flock is going to sleep or if we'll have enough food, or if Flyboys will find us. Hell, we might even enroll in school, but I can think about that later.
It was just so perfect…until Gazzy fainted that is. One minute he was staring at me like…well, like I was an alien, which he probably thought I was at this point, then he just fell backwards with a loud, THUMP.
I choked on my laughter, making a strangled sound, and rushed over to him.
"Angel, do you know what happened to him?" I asked Angel quickly while feeling Gazzy's forehead. He wasn't hot, so he didn't have a fever, but what had made him faint like that?
"Well," she started, "he was thinking about how aliens had invaded everyone's brain except his and then he was wondering if he DID have an alien in his brain, then he just passed out. I think he was overloaded with too much stuff."
I smiled up at her, relieved that Gazzy wasn't sick or anything.
That'd be just my luck, I thought to myself, everything's going great and then someone gets hurt. Story of my life.
I shook off the thought and looked down at Gazzy just as his eyes were fluttering open.
"Wha…? Max? Is it really you or is it an alien?" He sounded suspicious. That's my boy.
"Yeah, it's really me Gaz."
He still looked suspicious so I used the secret code word we had made up in Germany. "Schnitzel."
His eyes cleared and he smiled up at me, jumping on my lap and hugging me tight. "I thought the aliens had gotten to you," he said happily.
I just sighed. Sometimes Gazzy could just be so thickheaded. "Gazzy, there never were any aliens; it was all just a prank that Fang and I pulled on you guys."
Speaking of Fang, where was he? I looked around the room quickly, stopping when I noticed him leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, hair hanging in his eyes. His lips were slightly parted and they looked absolutely, DELICIOUS. I heard Angel giggle beside me and I blushed scarlet, realizing that she must have heard what I thought.
Damn mind readers and they're ability to…read minds.
I turned to glare at Angel but she smiled, well, like a little devil child straight from the pits of Hell would. (I hate that cliché about Angel smiling angelically, so I changed it up a bit ;) Oh God, this couldn't end well. She just smiled deviously again, and skipped over to Fang who was looking at my blushing cheeks curiously. Please, if there is a God, don't let Angel tell Fang that-"
Fuck.
She told him.
I could tell because he smirked at me and raised an eyebrow, as if to say, 'I know that I'm sexy and can make you drool without even trying.' That cocky little bastard. I untangled Gazzy, who was still hugging me tightly, from around me, and jumped to my feet, stalking over towards Fang. When I reached him, I just grabbed him by the front of his shirt and dragged him towards the stairs, shooting Angel the stink eye when I passed her.
Iggy heard me stomp past him with Fang's nearly silent footsteps beside me, and said loudly, "Whatever you're gonna do, please try not to scream too much, my ears are very sensitive."
I just punched him in the stomach and kept right on walking up to my room, shutting the door when we were both inside.
"What did she tell you?" I demanded impatiently.
He feigned confusion. "Who told me what?"
"What did Angel tell you just then?!"
"Oh. That. Well, she told me that you thought I looked, what was the word, delicious?" If there was an international smirk contest, Fang would win, hands down, no competition what-so-ever. Stupid boys and their stupid cockiness and stupid good looks and sexy hair and gorgeous dark eyes that you can get lost in and- Shit!
Was Fang leaning in?
While I was off in la-la-land, Fang had been getting closer and closer, closing the space between us until there was only a few inches left. I was concentrating on his lips so intently that when they moved I barely heard what he said.
"Want a taste?"
Oh.
My.
Fucking.
God.
Did he just say what I think he just said? 'Cause if he did then maybe an alien really DID take over his brain. Not that I didn't like it or anything it's just that this was so unlike Fang. It was like there were two different Fang's; the regular quiet impassive Fang and the sexy carefree amazing Fang. Like Coke and Diet Coke. They're essentially the same thing, but one is better than the other.
I couldn't speak so I just nodded my head dumbly, trying not to look too shell-shocked. I don't think I fooled him though. He was smiling; a REAL smile this time, not a smirk, when he leaned down to kiss me.
All thoughts in my head flew right on out of it when Fang's lips touched mine.
They were so soft and warm and inviting that I sighed as I moved my lips with his, grabbing a handful of his hair and angling my head to the side to kiss him deeper. He moved his mouth with mine and I felt him lightly trace his tongue around my bottom lip. I shivered in delight and reciprocated, curious to see if my theory about him tasting good was correct.
Mmmm, I was right. He DOES taste good. Like coffee milkshakes but better. And I LOVE coffee milkshakes. He tasted bitter and unbearably sweet at the same time.
I wanted to explore his face more, to travel down the enticing line of his jaw and follow it down to his neck, maybe even go a bit farther to his collarbone. But I couldn't move my lips from his. They were just so damn addictive.
Fang pulled away and I almost growled at him. I wanted his lips back on mine.
NOW.
But Fang just held me off of him, a puzzled look on his face.
Suddenly, it turned from confused to angry and scared. And Fang NEVER looks scared so I knew it had to be something bad. I tried to turn around but as I did, three things happened simultaneously.
I heard Fang shout, "Max, DUCK!"
I heard someone's high cold laughter right behind me.
I felt a sharp pain explode in the back of my head.
My last thought before I blacked out was, "Why does this always happen to ME?"
Heh…heh.
--looks at readers fearfully—
Please don't kill me. I know I know. I said I wasn't going to do anything like that, but I just couldn't help it! I didn't want to end my fic already and I HAD to do something or else it would have been over. Please don't hate me
I mean, you don't actually think that I'll kill Max, do you? Wait a second, will I? Oh my God, I don't know what I'm going to do!!
--starts crying hysterically—
Come on me, don't kill Max! She just found Fang and they're happy and…and… WAHHHHH!!!!
Eh, after that little rant, I'll just say please please please read and REVIEW!!!
