We stopped on the outskirts of town just beyond the street lamps and surrounded by forest. He climbed out the car and came round taking my hand and leading me towards the edge of the forest.
"Fang-" I started not too sure what he was up to.
"Ssh." He ordered winking at me before leading me onto a very thin and barely noticeable path.
"Where-" I tried again but he stopped me.
"Surprise, remember?" He was having so much fun with this. I don't know how long we walked for but after about ten minutes I stopped. He gave me a question glance before I sat down on a fallen tree to take off the ridiculously high heels that kept me at the same height as Fang. Quite frankly I would rather be short than have blisters and sore feet for the next month, try explaining that to my Dad. With my heels in one hand and the other in Fang's we carried on. I was just about to ask how much longer when I heard something. Like water running. Now I was very confused. Fang looked over at me then and his eyes were excited. Before I could do or say a thing he pushed apart a line of bushes and gestured for me to go through. I did so and had to hold in a gasp when I found myself in a large clearing, a small lake was in the centre with a small waterfall cascading down rocks. That's what I heard! A picnic blanket was laid out on the ground with candles lit and a basket to the side. I wanted to turn round to see Fang but his arms were around my waist and his chin on my shoulder.
"Do you like it?" he whispered his voice not sure.
"I love it." I answered utterly flabbergasted. It was stunning. A small deer drank front the lake on the other bank and the sky had turned a dark purple, the stars beginning to come out.
Not moving from behind me he led me forward and stopped by the blanket. "I hope this is ok."
I smiled at his cautiousness. "It's perfect." I assured leaning back against him.
I don't know how he did it but he managed to make everything so perfect it was unbelievable. There was no doubt in my mind as we sat eating chocolate coated strawberries that I would do anything to be with him even if it meant lying to my Dad for the rest of my life. He picked up another strawberry and offered it to me. He brought it to my lips and I bit into it, the juice running down my chin. He smiled and wiped the sticky trail away with his thumb before gently holding my chin and leaning in. My breathing sped up but I didn't do anything but move closer until our lisp met. He kissed me so gently and lovingly I felt my heart swell. My hands wound into his long black hair pulling him closer to me. He smiled against my lips and kissed me harder; his hands settling on my hips. Somehow we managed to fall back so he was leaning over me half pressed against my body. When he pulled away I was dizzy and I grinned at him goofily. He leant his forehead against mine and I stared into his endless eyes.
"Does this mean I get a chance?" he asked smiling at me.
"Well…" I pretended to really consider it and watched as his smile disappeared replaced with a playful glare. He kissed me again, harder this time but only for a moment.
"Have you decided yet?" He growled but his eyes shone.
"Oh alright." I laughed as he attacked my neck.
It was almost midnight when he dropped me off at Nudges house, they had seen three movies in the time we had been gone so we could all come home together and not arise suspicion. JJ walked straight in after saying bye to everyone and trying not to stare at Fang who she had only met for the first time now. Nudge gave Gazzy a seriously long kiss before she skipped off inside blowing him a kiss at the door. As for Fang and I we waited for Gazzy and Dylan to climb back into their cars and drive away. Fang's eyes were swimming with some unknown emotion that I could only guess was humour mixed with protectiveness.
"I have a feeling Dylan likes you." He stated pulling me to him. I rested my head on his chest.
"Ug, he's irritating and doesn't give up, I think I've turned him down like fifty times and I'm not even exaggerating." I groaned rolling my eyes.
"So I don't have to get rid of him then?" he asked his tone oddly serious.
"Fang!" H laughed smacking his chest. "Don't worry, he's got nothing on you." I murmured kissing him one last time. he held me tight and slipped his tongue between my lips. We stood outside making out for who knows how long before a throat clearing interrupted us. I turned to see Nudge with a huge grin on her face but it was easy to tell she was irritated. "Max, I swear he'll still be alive tomorrow, now get your butt inside my parents are gonna get home any minute now!" She hissed at me. I felt Fang's chest vibrate as he laughed and kissed my hair before letting me go.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yeah. Bye." I smiled at him and blushed before turned round and followed Nudge inside. As soon as the door closed the loudest scream I have ever heard filled the house and I'm pretty sure I felt the floor buckle.
"YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" Nudge screamed grabbing me in a bear hug and squeezing me tight, JJ joined in and they squished me in a Max sandwich jumping up and down and chanting her words.
It was noon before we all got up and by then Nudge's parents were up and her mom was making pancakes. We all ran down the stairs to grab a plate and sat down in record time all watching as the batter was poured into the pan.
"Good morning girls." Her Dad greeted over his mews paper.
"Morning Daddy." Nudge replied her mouth watering as her mom slid a pancake onto each of our plates.
"Morning Mr Brown." JJ and I greeted both going for a sugar at the same time.
It took us less than ten minutes to finish our breakfast and run back upstairs. I had to pac and get down to the station before Dad phoned to ask if everything's alright, since I was meant to go with the guys to the fundraiser. I had asked Nudge and JJ to come too but Nudge said she had plans with Gazzy and JJ had a family thing she couldn't get out of, something about her cousin Arnolds birthday. The dorky 18 year old thought of JJ as his one and only friend making sure she came each year to his birthday. It's very sad, I had to go one year cause she couldn't bear it by herself and I laughed my ass off when he asked her if she wanted to jump on the jumping castle. He was 14. Her expression was priceless but actually watching her do it pushed me over the edge, I was rolling around on the ground I was laughing so hard.
"Bye Jumpy Jay." i gave JJ a hug and she scrunched her nose at her nickname.
"Bye bye Maxie-pie." She countered and we laughed. "I'll phone you later to fill you in on the exciting day I have ahead." She rolled her eyes when both Nudge and I had to restrain the laughter we wanted to release.
"Ok, ok you two really have to go, Gazzy's coming over in exactly 3 hours and fifteen minutes! I don't have long to get ready." She made us have a group hug before we separated and went home. I chucked my bag into the corner of my room and ran downstairs. I was gonna be so late!
when I reached the large park in the centre of the town it took me about an hour to actually locate my Dad, it also didn't help that I had forgotten my phone at homes o I couldn't ask where they were or answer my Dad's long list of missed calls. I was gonna hear about that later. I found them at the bar. No surprise, u seriously should have looked there first. Grady, Ari and Daniel were all over by the TV flipping through random channels. Dad and Fang were talking by the actual bar, no doubt getting everyone there drinks. The suckish thing?'m underage. So I was stopped at the door and asked for my I.D. I explained that I just wanted to talk to my Dad and was met with the reply "Like I haven't heard that one before." I shot the big guy who had asked me to leave the bird but he didn't even flinch. Oh tough guy eh? Bring it buster.
Poor guy, didn't know what hit him until he was lying incapacitated on the floor. The medics ran over attending to him immediately while I slipped passed them and into the bar. Dad caught sight of me and frowned then he looked behind me to the guard.
"Maximum Ride what have you done now?!" He sighed walking over to me and taking hold of my arm and starting to pull me towards the exit.
"I wanted to let you know I was here, he wouldn't let me in!" I defended.
"I-" before Dad could finish his sentence Fang was behind him.
"S'all right chief, I'll keep an eye on her." He promised taking my other arm. "You need a break." He joked.
Dad paused for a moment before nodding.
"If I hear you have so much as hurt anyone else Max you're grounded for a month." Dad said sternly. I saluted him like a Nazi and after shaking his head and muttering "I give up." under his breath he turned and headed back to the guys. Ari, Grady and Daniel were cheering me on when they noticed what had happened to the guard and whistled to which they each got a smack o the head from my Dad and a deadly look, they all shut up immediately. I bowed at the guys and ran out after Fang before my Dad could say anything. Fang was trying to stop a huge grin from taking over his face but failed miserably. He took my hand and we walked around.
"Well at least I know you can protect yourself." He noted.
"Hey! Black belt remember? Been doing Karate since i was two! Besides I'm pretty sure you already knew that." I huffed.
"Yeah but now I actually believe it." He chuckled when I punched his arm.
