Prisoner- Chapter 76

True to her word, Nudge, didn't talk for the rest of the day. To tell the truth I kind of missed her talking, she wasn't Nudge if she didn't talk.

She had been writing down everything she wanted to say all day and sometimes she had so much to say that she would been writing as fast as she could for a string of minutes. Then she would hand me the pad of paper and flex her hand to work the kinks out of it. Her hand was probably killing her, but she didn't seem to mind it too much.

There was a tap on Fang and I's door and I opened it to see Nudge holding the pad up for me to read what she had written. I read aloud, "I am Max, I think Fang is hot!"

She laughed and I could hear the other three snickering in their rooms.

Fang looked back at me in surprise.

My eyes caught his and I could feel my face flush. I was frozen with embarrassment.

Nudge giggled.

"Gazzy told me if I could get you to say that aloud then I could talk." She said laughing.

"He did?" I asked as my eyes widened.

She nodded.

"He's becoming quite the little trouble maker." I though aloud.

I could hear him giggling along with Iggy and Angel.

"Go to bed!" I called out to them.

"Sorry Max." Nudge said with a smile. "I just couldn't stand being silent any longer."

"And I was actually starting to feel bad for you." I said smirking and shaking my head.

She smiled at me. "Goodnight Max."

"'Night."

She walked back into her room.

I could feel Fang's gaze on me. I turned to look at him to see him smirking at me.

"Why do they torture me and not you?" I asked plopping down next to him on the couch and closing my eyes, covering my face with my hands.

"Because you get embarrassed and blush." He said as his smirk grew.

I rolled my eyes and leaned back taking in relaxing breaths.

"Tired?" He questioned.

"Exhausted." I confirmed feeling myself begin to drift off on the couch.

I could hear Fang say something to me, but I was too out of it to tell what he said. He said something else and I didn't catch that either. Then I felt myself being picked up in his strong, ropy arms. He carried me into the bedroom we shared and placed me on the bed we shared. A kiss was placed on my forehead, then the covers were lifted over my body all the way up to reach my shoulder.

After getting some needed sleep I felt myself begin to wake up. The process turned out to be quicker than expected, because I became aware than I was lying VERY close to Fang. We were touching each other, more like holding each other.

My eyes shot open.

My left hand and my head were lying on Fang's chest and Fang's left arm was wrapped tightly around my waist.

I closed my eyes and opened them again to realize I wasn't dreaming.

I could feel his chest rising and falling with each breath and I could hear the steady, but fast thumps of his heart. Luckily, it appeared Fang was still asleep.

Now, I just needed to disentangle myself from Fang without waking him. Easier said than done, trust me on this.

I removed my hand from his chest, then my head and started to sit up. He must have felt the movement, because his arm stiffened and made sure it was securely wrapped around my waist.

I took his hand and laid it on the bed, then crawled down to the foot of the bed and quickly hopped off. I stood and looked down at him… his eyes were open.

"When did you wake up?" I asked cocking my head to the side.

"While you were disentangling yourself from me." He said with a smirk.

"Why didn't you tell me you were awake?" I asked with my mouth open.

He shrugged sitting up, looking at me.

I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room.
