Prisoner- Chapter 75
I woke up to an empty bed and immediately went on alert. I looked around the room and there didn't seem to be any sign of erasers. I threw the covers off of my body and swung my feet over the side of the bed. I scooted off the surface of the bed and placed my feet on the rough carpet floor.
I stood and walked to the door and opened it to see the flock all sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast.
"Good morning." Angel said with bright smile when she laid eyes on me.
"Morning." I said with a smile of my own.
"How come no one woke me up?" I asked directing my question more toward Fang then the other members of the flock.
"Just thought we'd let you sleep." Fang said with a shrug. "All of us woke up on our own." He said giving me a smirk.
I looked at the Gasman out of the corner of my eye. He was sticking a finger down his throat and Nudge was laughing at him. Angel was looking at me with a smile, then she turned her attention to Fang, still smiling.
Gazzy must have told Iggy, because he was making gagging sounds and holding his throat. Then he began laughing and his pale face turned a shade of pink.
My eyes met Fang's and I could feel my cheeks heating out of embarrassment. I could tell Fang was avoiding looking at the rest of the flock.
I tore my eyes from Fang's and looked at my feet for a minute with great interest. When I looked back up at the flock they were all looking at me with a big smile.
"Max is em…" Nudge began.
Iggy clasped his hand over her mouth.
"No talking, remember?"
She moved his hand from her mouth and shut her mouth. She looked disappointed to not be able to tease me along with the others.
"Okay." She said, then her eyes widened as she realized she talked again. "Ooops."
Then she smacked her hand over her mouth.
I laughed.
"I knew you couldn't do it." I said shaking my head.
"Can to." Nudge whined.
"See, you talked again." I said crossing my arms and laughing.
She furrowed her brows and looked down at the table. She was silent for a moment before she looked up at me with hopeful eyes.
"Can I have another chance?" She asked getting giddy.
I put my hands up in defense. "I'm not the one you made the bet with."
She turned and gave Gazzy a pleading look, "Please!"
"Okay, you have to be quiet for the rest of the day and TOMORROW."
She went to say something, but stopped herself and nodded solemnly. Nudge was going to be dying to talk by the time she was allowed to. I know I was going to enjoy the silence for however long it lasted. There was no way Nudge was going to make it.
I smirked and I saw Fang do so too. I think we were both relieved to have the attention off of us. We were definitely going to have to be more careful about where and when we kissed. Here I go thinking about kissing him again.
I heard Angel giggle and to my horror saw she was looking at me. She must be reading my thoughts.
"Angel." I warned with a frown.
"Sorry Max." She said still smiling.
Nudge got up from the table and began looking around the house for something. She came back with a small notebook and pen.
I looked at her questioningly.
She ignored me and focused her attention on the pad of paper and began writing something. When she was done she held it up to me.
It said 'Can we go swimming?'
I thought about it for a moment then said, "Yes, you guys can go swimming."
She stopped herself from yelling and pumped a fist in the air like the Gasman does when he's excited about something.
"But, we're all going together." I said looking at Fang.
He gave me a small nod.
The younger flock members were out of the door in a matter of seconds. I smiled as Fang stood and walked out the door. I walked out behind him and saw him holding his hand out to me. I took it and smiled.
"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" I asked hopefully.
"As long as you never do it again." He said entwining our fingers and looking at the flock walking in front of us all laughing and giggling.
I smiled.
