Prisoner- Chapter 98
My eyes fluttered open to meet the light of the room. I winced as the pain in body gave me a nagging reminder that it was still very much there.
Opening my eyes again I realized Fang had stayed with me through the night, I was still sleeping on him. My body rose and fell with every breath. I looked up at him to see his eyes closed which made me smile at the fact that he was getting much needed rest.
His arm was slung loosely around my waist, my fingers interlocked with his.
I extended my head up to place a light kiss on his jaw line.
I saw his eyes twitch and then open to look down at me.
"Morning." I said with a smile.
"Morning." He murmured tightening his arm around me. "What time is it?"
I looked over my shoulder at the clock on the nightstand and said, "7:30."
"Think they're up yet?" He asked looking up at the ceiling.
I shrugged against him.
"Ugh Gazzy!" Nudge squealed from what sounded like the kitchen.
"Not again!" Iggy yelled.
"Guess that's a yes." I said smiling up at Fang.
He broke into a small smile that faded almost immediately.
I climbed off of the bed after removing Fang's arm from around my waist and waited patiently for him to do the same.
He looked over at me and climbed off the bed after seeing the expectant look laid across my face, moving to stand next to me.
I gave him one last look then walked over to the door and opening it slowly, Fang on my heels.
"Hi Max!" Ella yelled throwing her arms around me.
I jumped in surprise then quickly wrapped my arms around Ella in response.
"Hi." I said with a smile.
"I missed you!" She said pulling away to look at me. "I thought we'd never see you again."
"Me too." I said with a sad nod.
"Are you feeling better?" She asked looking me over hesitantly.
"Yeah." I said waving off the question.
"I'm gonna go find the flock." Fang said leaning down to whisper in my ear, his breath against my ear making chills run down my spine. He walked away leaving Ella and I alone.
Ella watched him disappear then turned back to me with a smile.
"So…" She said with a smile. "Are you two… together?"
"Yeah." I said with a nod as my cheeks heated.
"Lucky." She said rolling her eyes. "He's hott… in a strong silent type way…"
I laughed and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.
She looked from me to the bedroom to me again, then her eyes widened.
"Did you two sleep in the same room?" She practically shouted.
"No." I lied.
"Did to!"
I shook my head.
"You're such a liar!" She shouted. "You two slept in the same room!"
"Sh!" I silenced her in a harsh whisper. "Do you want the whole world to know?"
She quirked an eyebrow at me.
"Okay, we shared a bed." I admitted.
"I knew it!" She squealed.
"You're just as bad as Nudge." I said rolling my eyes.
I walked to the flock with her right behind me.
"Max!" Angel shouted seeing me.
She ran to me quickly, wrapping her small thin arms around my waist. I brought my hand to her hair and stroked it softly.
"Hi sweetie." I said kneeling down and wrapping her in a gentle hug.
Gazzy, Nudge, and Iggy all came over and gave me a hug probably glad to see I hadn't died during the night like I was sure I was going to do.
"So, has everyone become acquainted?" I asked looking over Ella and the flock.
They all nodded and Dr. Martinez walked in shortly after.
"Thanks for taking care of me." I said giving her a hug.
"I didn't do much, Max, your friends are the ones that got you to safety."
I gave my flock a thankful smile, especially toward Fang.
"You're not leaving are you?" Ella asked looking at me confused. "Not so soon at least… you just got here."
"No, we're not leaving yet." I said shaking my head. "There's something I need to do first."
I locked eyes with Dr. Martinez.
"And I need your help."
She gave me a questioning look. "What do you need?"
"That chip that showed up on my x-ray… I want it out." I explained sternly.
