Really thank you sooo much I hope you will like this chapter, and if you don't feel free to leave any tips ;) Thanks! Read and review! Sorry if this chapter isn't that well written, I wrote in a hurry :(
FANG POV:
Max's excitement of her new work placement was boiled down to a simmer. But seeing Max begin to work again pushed me to accept the movie offer, I started filming in the fall.
The script was the usual box office hit, a romantic comedy starting with a love-hate-relationship.
"John, seriously you can't be that stupid." I had gotten Max to practice lines with me, and I looked at her smiling face while pointing to the script; she had on an angry scowl. She rolled her eyes at me, and made a hand motion to continue on reading, "And you can't be that cynical." I leaned in closer to Max as I read my lines glad to see her flush if only for a second.
When she regained her composure, (which was too quick for my contentment,) she leaned in as well, a smirk now on her face as she said, "Don't push me John." I saw a smile playing on her lips and I retreated back only a centimeter so that I wouldn't begin hyperventilating.
The scene practices took up most of our Saturday afternoon, and we had finally gotten to the last act.
"John, I can't do this anymore, I need and answer…yes or no." The emotions stated on the page were a mix of fear, anticipation, and worry, but Max's tone showed only sarcasm, and I laughed at her over exaggerating hand motions.
"Natalie…it will always, be yes." I looked at Max, her relieving smile at the finish of the script and she rose stretching her arms.
"Thank goodness, we're finally done!" Her yawn was slurring her words and I smiled at her, before pulling her back down on the couch.
"We're not done yet Maxie." She tilted her head, in a questioning motion, and I laughed once again pointing at the script; John and Natalie share a kiss, and the credits roll.
Her eyes evaded mine for just a second to read the words, before a light blush crept onto her cheeks. "Don't be stupid Fang." She tried to brush me away, but I playingly pushed her down on the couch, and stood over her, lightly holding her down. She could have easily gotten rid of my grip on her wrists, but to my relief she didn't push me away. Her blush had deepened only slightly, but it was harder to see with my shadow sitting over her. "Get off Fang."
I was appreciative that her tone was playful, and she didn't think I was acting anyway out of the ordinary. I decided that since, she was not refusing my company I might as well see how far I can go.
"Are you sure you want me to Max?" I used a seductive tone, that only Max would laugh at. Her scoff only made her smile more. "Let me think…yes." Her voice was stern but her smile was teasing.
I leaned in close to Max, our breaths touching, and whispered to her softly, "Then push me away."
Despite the wanting to retort a sarcastic reply, which was the visual emotion on her face, her face lit up in embarrassment, and without words she turned her head away in rejection.
I smirked, happy that I had won this battle, and I leaned in kissed Max on the cheek before getting up. Her flush, (if possible) got deeper, and she threw a pillow cushion at me before stomping off to the kitchen.
I laughed following the sound of cereal being poured in a bowl.
MAX POV:
"Natalie…it will always, be yes." As Fang said the last words written on the script I gave a sigh of relief and stood up to stretch my arms out. We had spent all afternoon going over his script and I had decided that becoming an actor wasn't worth the trouble.
"Thank goodness, we're finally done!" I yawned and my words didn't sound pronounced right. However before I could drag myself towards the kitchen where some snack awaited my presence; Fang pulled me back towards the couch.
"We're not done yet Maxie." His voice was teasing, and he had on a smirk that made me smile, he held out the script and I spared one glance to see what he meant, before blushing; John and Natalie share a kiss, and the credits roll.
"Don't be stupid." I said as I shrugged and pushed Fang away slightly, but he pushed back towards the couch. Now cowering over, me, hands on my wrists with a slight grip he smiled down at me.
"Get off Fang." My tone was sarcastic not wanting to give him the satisfaction of my nervousness. He however, only smiled brighter and replied with pure confidence, "Are you sure you want me to Max?" The seductive tone was one many a girl had fallen to, and although I would never, in a life time, admit it to Fang, always made my heart skip a beat, however, by now my hormones have grown immune to his charms (with the occasional up rise,) and I only scoffed at his flirtatious voice.
Proud of myself for not becoming putty in his hands, I said, "Let me think…yes." I smiled at him, but blushed only harder when he leaned his face closer to mine, our faces barely touching. He whispered to me breathing slightly, "Then push me away."
I wish that I had found the strength to fulfill his order, however, my body reacted to the heat on my face, and I turned away, without the snarky comment I wanted to throw at him.
I could feel his triumphant aura wading over me, and his stupid smirk dangling from the edges. When he finally decided that it was long enough, he kissed me on the cheek, and stood up.
I angrily stared at him, and threw a cushion at him before getting up and pouring a bowl of cereal for myself, trying not to notice that where Fang had kissed me was burning up.
