Still Sarah's POV (I'll probably change later)
By the time we got home, we were all tired. There wasn't much chatter because Angel and Nudge had fallen asleep. We just made small talk amongst ourselves. We really did shop till we dropped.
It was around 7 o'clock, and the boys were having a blast. You heard me right, they were having a party. With food. Iggy made tons of dishes, and the boys were all going around eating them. Based on the caviar that was all over the wall, some food had explosives in it. All of them were laughing and having a good time, which was rare. Dylan was usually out of it since the others were so close and Fang and Dylan didn't exactly like each other. Dr. Martinez walked in and shut down the music. Imagine Dragon's album was playing waaayyy to loud. All of them froze and looked at us girls, weighed down with shopping bags. They all laughed at the same time, and everyone started paying Iggy whatever was in their pockets. I honestly don't even want to know.
After paying up, they made their way toward us to claim their new shoes. Everyone loved their new tennis shoes, and I was honestly surprised Dylan liked his. He looked up at me with big eyes.
"You picked these out for me?" He asked, as if he was touched. I nodded avoiding eye contact. He wrapped his warm arms around me for just a moment. Then he let go only to grab my hand again.
"I have something I want to show you. Iggy and Gazzy helped me make it while you guys were gone," Dylan said with a mysterious grin on his face. I couldn't help it, his smile was contagious! I followed him out the door and matched his brisk walking pace.
He brought me to a hole in the ground. Yes, a hole in the ground! I was truly confused, but I followed him anyway. Through the hole were several stairs. I'm not sure how, but a lantern was lit, illuminating a table for two. There was a single rose on the table, and a chocolate fountain. Mmmmmm… I gasped. I couldn't help it! To my left I saw a loveseat and a television. Next to it was a bookshelf with all the Disney movies! I couldn't believe it! How did he know?
I studied Dylan and saw he was studying me. Did he know Alex had once made me an underground hide out just for us? His wasn't quite as glamorous, though. Alex had hand dug ours, and there was simply two comfortable chairs, a big blanket, and some candles down there. Still it was one of my favorite places.
Dylan suddenly grinned and clapped his hands twice. Out came the Gasman, dressed in a tuxedo. I let out a laugh. Gazzy had some marshmallows, a cut up banana, and strawberries. I figured they were for the chocolate fountain. The candle's light caught something shiny on the platter. I picked it up and studied the ring. It was shaped as a heart and made of what appeared to be a diamond. Tiny coral colored gems lined the heart. I nonchalantly grabbed my locket around my neck. They matched perfectly. Alex had given me the locket, and inside it was a picture of us. We had taken the photo at an arcade in the photo booth, and we laughing. He was giving me bunny ears.
I smiled, and I was so overwhelmed with happiness I felt my eyes get blurry! Gazzy crept out of the room now that his job was done. I looked up at Dylan, and he was smiling down at me. I stood up on my tippy toes and brushed my lips against his. He was warm and soft. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he rested his on my hips. His lips interlocked with mine for a moment, and then we broke away. Dylan walked over and grabbed Sleeping Beauty off the bookshelf and popped it in the DVD player. I curled up on the loveseat next to him. We only half watched the movie. We mostly talked and laughed. This time, however, it wasn't awkward.
For the first time in forever, I was happy. Really, truly happy.
Max's POV
A food party? Without me?! I was truly offended. After we passed out the new shoes, we girls went to put away our clothes. Sarah had disappeared somewhere, but I wasn't sure where. Nonetheless, I put away her clothes for her. We came back down, and mom was in the recliner reading. Iggy and Fang had continued with the food party. Dylan and Gazzy were nowhere in sight. I shrugged off the thought.
"They went with Sarah to a secret place," Angel's voice came from inside my head. I nodded, acknowledging her. Reading minds can come in handy when you wanna know something. I couldn't help it any longer, so I jumped right in line and started stuffing myself.
"Man, Ig! You make a mean hash brown casserole!" I said after taking a bite of that. Gazzy came back, but Nudge and Angel lost interest. It was just Ella, Fang, Gazzy, Iggy, and I. I was fine with that. The less people that were eating, the more for me! While trying some seafood, I felt a wet thump against my forehead.
A chunk of sautéed pineapple was flown at my head. I looked up to see Fang barely controlling his laughter.
"Ohhhh you're gonna get it!" I laughed as I tossed some banana split at Fang. After that, we broke into a full out food fight. It was sooooo fun! If you've never had a food fight, I suggest you have one before you die. Iggy kept making more food, so we kept fighting. We flung and threw things until about 11 0'clock. Dylan and Sarah still weren't back, but I didn't fret. I was having the time of my life, until my father walk through the door at 11:30.
I'm so happy Dylan and Sarah are together! I had to resist making it love at first sight, and it was so hard putting it off! Sorry for the cliff hanger. Actually, I'm not that sorry *rolls hands evilly* What do you guys think Jeb is doing there?
