The next few weeks went fine. Angel stopped trying to seduce me, she stopped coming into my room to "talk" to me. And she started to ignore me. Max assumed I had done something wrong. I went along. The fact of the matter was I did do something wrong. I slept with a 9 year old. Twice. I can think of a few ethical problems that one might encounter when performing such deeds. Like the fact that she's fucking 9! None the less, I moved on. An expertly honed skill of mine. I would rather have her hate me than love me. At least, with the kind of love I've been getting. I found a nice little cave dug into the side of a nearby cliff. Its a tight crack in. Scratches up my wings more than a lot. But its nicely size inside. I go there whenever I need alone time. Which is often. Its safer than my room because no one knows about it. Its a good spot. Roomy inside.
After the first week of no Angel. Things got better, or wose. However you choose to interpret it. Max started paying more attention to me. Hot, Sexy Max. The Max that I would stay awake for a long time at night thinking about. Did she start to like me? I didn't know. I went along. I hung out with her more. We did more stuff together. And the flock as a whole grew closer.
I wokeup late at night. Craving a sandwhich more than anything. No clue why, but I have never been one to argue with my stomach.
As I walked to the kitchen I saw max there too. I said hi.
"Jesus Fang don't sneak up on me like that!" She jumped.
"My bad" I said, laughing a little. I went to get some bread.
"Any reason you're up this late?" She asked me? Smiling now.
"I could ask the same" I said back "Makin' a sandwhich"
"Oh. I just wanted water" She replied. Turning back to the sink to fill the glass she had spilt when I scared her.
"I win then" I joked.
We both laughed. A real laugh. We hadn't talked like this in a while. She blushed a little when we were done laughing. I took that as a good sign. I took a step closer
"So...how you been lately?" I asked awkwardly. I didn't know what to say. I felt like a complete idiot.
"Pretty good I guess" She said back. Obviously she wasn't sure either.
"Thats good" Another step closer. She took one too. More signs, all saying the same thing, but in different words.
At that point, we just took 2 more steps, and our lips connected. The feeling of a legitimate kiss. One that wasn't just brought from sex. The feeling of actual feeling, was incredible. The warmth of her lips, gently pressed against mine. My arms wrapped around her waist, and hers wrapped around my neck. A real kiss. My first, real kiss. With Max. My dreams were really coming true now.
