Chapter 24

Max

I felt sunlight shining in my face, I blinked slightly as I looked at my alarm clock, it was only half six in the morning, I could feel a warm body pressed up against mine and I looked down before smiling. There she was, the angel of my dream, sleeping beside me. I shifted so that my head was resting on my hand, my elbow resting on my pillow so I was looking down at her. I watched her as she sleeps; I let my fingers run up and down her arm, lightly. She looks like an angel when she sleeps, her cheeks slightly flushed; her lips were slightly parted as she breathed and her hair was spread over the pillows.

I couldn't pull my eyes away from her, she seemed to be glowing from the inside out, making me love her even more. I couldn't stop myself as I bent down and kissed her soft lips.

She stirred as she stretched in bed before snuggling into my side. I smiled as she opened her eyes, blinking as she looked around the room before looking up into my eyes.

"Morning." I whispered and she smiled shyly.

"Morning." She whispered in her sleep filled voice and I felt a shot of lust go through my loins.

"How are you feeling?" I asked as I rested my head on the pillow and stroked back her hair.

"Hm, great." She breathed out and I smiled before flicking my eyes down slightly over our sheet-clad bodies.

"I meant lower." I told her and she smiled.

"A little sore but it's expected." She told me and I nodded before leaning in to kiss her gently on the lips, I felt her smile against my lip as she lifted one arm around my neck and buried into the nape of my hair, playing with it. I've noticed that she likes playing with nape of my hair for some reason. I wrapped my arm around her waist over the sheet and pressed our bodies closer to each other. "I love you." She whispered as we broke away for air and I smiled.

"I love you too." I whispered back, enjoying our time together.

I smirked as I pulled the covers away from her butt slightly and ran my hand over it before looking into her face.

"So… when did you get the tattoo?" I asked and she groaned as she buried her face in the pillow.

"Alex and I were fourteen at the time, we got completely sloshed, don't asked me how we did cause I haven't got a clue. The rest of the night is still a bit hazy, the next thing I knew was that I was in bed with Alex, we were completely clothes and we had pain our butt, you can imagine the surprise we felt when we saw the tattoos on our butt." She told me and I smiled.

"Why didn't you get rid of it? You have the money." I reminded her and she smiled as she turned slightly so she could see the heart shape tattoo with an arrow through it, my name decorating the middle of it.

"I kinda fell in love with it after the shock worn off and I didn't want to remove it so I kept it, hoping that one day you would be able to see it." She told me, shyly and I kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Kinda glad I did." I whispered and she giggled. "What did Alex get?" I asked.

"A star with Isabel's name in the middle, it stands for stargazer as Isabel loves staring at the stars." She told me and I shook my head.

"Does anyone know about the tattoo?" I asked and she shook her head.

"The only people who knows are you, Alex and I. Even Tammy doesn't know," she told me and I cocked my eyebrow.

"How about when you shower in the lockers after Gym and she smiled.

"As I always have gym before lunch, I tend to wait till they have all gone. I'm not about to let it become gossip you know." She teased and I smiled as I fingered her tattoo, tracing the heart causing her to smile. "Caveman." She whispered and I smiled as I kissed her on the lips.

"Can you blame me?" I teased and she laughed as she kissed me once more, we just relaxed, enjoying our after glow of being together.

Liz

I was resting my head on Max's chest when the door opened; we both looked up and saw Alex standing there.

"Don't mind me, I'm just here to grab the cd that I need." Alex stated as he walked in with his hand covering his eyes. I bit back a snicker when I saw Max's shocked look while I shook my head.

"What CD?" Max asked.

"Oasis, Tammy is making a mixture for Jake and Tess so she asked me to help her out." Alex stated. "You need to tell me where to go as I can't see." Alex told him and Max bit his bottom lip, trying to hold back a smile.

"Okay, just a few more steps and you'll reach the CD holder." Max told him, Alex walked but his feet got tangled up in Max's boxers and he went down with a thump, causing both, Max and I to start laughing.

"Not Funny!" Alex stated from his place on the floor.

"What on earth are you doing?" we hear a female voice stated from the doorway and saw Tammy standing there with her hands on her hips, looking like Isabel there for a minute.

"Just making sure I wasn't seeing anything I wasn't supposed to see." Alex stated as he tried to untangle his feet from the boxers without opening his eyes and Tammy rolled her eyes.

"They are both under the covers, I hardly think you can see anything." She told him, Alex, peeked one eye open, making sure that Tammy was right before opening both and glaring at us.

"You could have least told me!" Alex exclaimed and Max shrugged.

"We were being entertained about the fact that you couldn't see." Max told him and Alex shook his head as he stood up, he spied the CD.

"Ha, ha!" he exclaimed and made to get it, only his feet tangled up in my jeans, causing him to fall down again and us to laugh once more.

"For crying out loud Alex! Could you please make sure your feet are clear before trying to lunge at something? Isabel won't be happy to find that you are all covered in bruises and scrapes, I'm still in her bad mood after beating you at Basketball." Tammy exclaimed as she walked over and grabbed the CD before pulling Alex up and pushing him out of the room, shaking her head. "See you later." She told us before shutting the door behind her.

"What are they like?" Max asked and I shook my head as we both lay down once more. I settled my head in the crook of his neck as he ran his fingers up and down my arm.

"What did you expect when we all started making friends with the craziest people in Roswell?" I asked and he laughed, I looked over at the window only to burst out laughing.

"What?" Max demanded, I pointed to the window and he looked over before laughing as well.

There where Kyle, Michael and Jake were, pressing their faces up against the windows.

"Have a good night?" Kyle, slyly, asked and Max lifted a rubber ball from the floor and chucked it at the window, hitting Kyle on the nose. "Ow!" he exclaimed.

"Get a life you guys!" Max stated, the guys moved away from the window only for a stream of water to shoot their way.

"Thought you guys needed cooling down." We heard Tammy teased and we laughed when we realised she had shot them with the hose.

"TAMMY!" they boys yelled but gulped, we lay there, puzzled what was happening now.

"And just what do you boys think you are doing? Spying on Max and Liz!" we heard Isabel snapped and we bit back our snickers.

The boys were in for it now!

Tammy

"Tammy, let me in." I heard Jake plead from the other side of my bedroom door and I scoffed.

"Like hell, what do I want to do with a guy who was spying on my brother and his girlfriend?" I fired back.

"Oh come on Tammy, it was a joke." He pleaded and I rolled my eyes, trying hard to keep a smile from forming on my face while Alex was practically rolling off the bed with laugher.

"Oh, so you are saying it's okay for the boys to watch us as we have sex?" I demanded as I stood up with my hands on my hips. "That's just great, glad to know you love that me that much that you willing let us become participates for voyeurs." I replied.

"Tammy, that's not what I meant." Jake stated, banging on the door.

"Really?" I asked. "Cause that what it sounds like to me? Why should I let you in? I'll never know if someone is watching us." I told him and Alex shook his head, amusement covering his face.

"Tammy, I was kidding, we were only doing it to wind Max up." He whined and I rolled my eyes.

"Are you going to forgive him?" Alex asked and I smiled wickedly.

"Who do you think I am?" I asked as I sauntered over to the door and flung it open.

What I didn't realise that Jake had been leaning on the door, he fell down to his knees and I smirked as he made to get up but I placed a hand on his head, keeping him down. "I didn't say that I forgave you did I?" I asked and he whined.

"Tammy." He pleaded and I shook my head.

"Nope, in fact, I like you kneeling so you are to stay there till I'm ready to forgive you." I told him and he sighed as he shook his head, defeated while Alex laughed.

"You know, I think I am going to enjoy today after all." Alex informed me and I laughed.

Max

I walked past Tammy's bedroom, fully clad in clothes, I looked in before moving onward, I stopped then I redoubled back and saw that Tammy was sitting on the edge of the bed with Jake kneeling in between her legs, massaging her foot and Alex sitting at the computer, checking out the websites.

"Having fun?" I asked and Tammy smiled.

"Loads." She informed, I looked at Jake and bit back a snicker at his thundercloud/lost puppy expression and shook my head as I walked into the kitchen, seeing that only Maria, Isabel and Tess was sitting at the counter, I was confused.

"Hey girls, where Michael and Kyle?" I asked and Tess scoffed.

"We sent them home, we really don't want to be seen with voyeurs at the moment." Tess informed and I sighed.

"Then how come Jake is here?" I asked and Isabel smirked.

"Tammy is milking it for all it's worth, she knows that Jake will do whatever it takes to get back into her good books so she is having a little fun with him before letting him know that she forgave him." Isabel stated and I shook my head in amusement.

It's amazing how scary the girls could be when they wanted to be.

"How come the guys can't be like Max?" Maria asked and I looked at her.

"Excuse me?" I asked and she sighed.

"You've hang around with them for years, how come you couldn't have rubbed off on them?" she demanded and Isabel voiced her objection.

"Alex is complete gentleman." Isabel stated.

"That's because we trained him." Liz stated as she entered the kitchen clad in her clothes, I handed her a glass of orange juice and she smiled as she sat down. "Beside, each boys have their own way of showing how the feel for a girl." Liz explained and I nodded.

"I know that women likes to be shown affection because of Tammy and Isabel so I just pass it on with Liz. Michael and Kyle never really grew up with any sisters remember so they don't really know what a girl wants." I explained before shrugging. "We're not mind readers, you need to tell us what you want."

"I don't know about that, you seem to read Liz's mind very well." Tess stated and I smiled at her.

"I've been in love with Liz for a long time, so I know how she works." I told her and Liz smiled.

"Same here, we just know what the other wants but we still tell the others too so that there is no misunderstanding." She explained as she hopped off the chair and kissed my cheek before placing her empty glass in the dishwasher machine.

I kissed the top of her head as I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her into my body before looking at girls, shaking my head at their dreamy looks.

"Talk to the guys, let them know how you feel." I told them and they nodded as I stared out of the window with Liz cuddling into my side.

This is turning out to be a great day, but why do I get the feeling that my happiness is not going to last long?

Don't panic yet!
