I woke up the next day. Everything felt blurry. Not in a bad way, but in a borderline magical way. I kissed Max! We made out for a solid hour! I couldn't believe all of that had just happened. Everything was picking up so quickly. I imagined Max more as my hand slid down my pants, but I stopped myself. The last time I did this it ended badly.
I thought about how to confront her today. I definately couldn't let Angel know. Thank god her brain reading was begining to falter with age, or I'd be screwed. I had no idea how to go about this though. This was totally new to me. I felt like a soldier scouting out foreign territory, nothing to go by but instinct. I decided I'd act like nothing happened for now, then I'd talk with Max about it later. I'm sure our chat would be plenty of fun too.
I climbed out of my bed and stretched and yawned. I put on some pants and a shirt then left my room to the kitchen. I poured some cereal and waited as people slowly woke up. Iggy woke up first. "Morning, Ig" I said.
"I need coffee" He mumbled. I smiled slightly. He was never a morning person.
Angel woke up next. She left her room in her night gown. I avoided all eye contact. "Good morning Fang!" She said cheerfully "How did you sleep?"
"Well I guess" I said back. I really didn't want to talk to her right now.
"That's good to hear!" She said, then went to go get some food.
"Guys I'm gonna go for a quick fly, I'll be back in a bit" I said. I needed to think. I walked out the door, stretched my wings, and let them warm in the sun. Then I leaped and took off. I flew out to a cliff about a mile away and settled in a small cave. It was a narrow crack that went into a small room. The room was big enough for 3 people or so. I sat there and laid down to think about things. This was always my spot to go. I heard flapping of wings outside. God dammit. Please don't be Angel, Please don't be Angel! And of course, fate had other plans.
"Faaaaaaaaaang! Where aaaaarreeee yoooouu!"
(I know it's been a while, guys. And I apologize for that. I can't promise that I will continue regularly, But I will do my best as the summer winds down to continue my story. Thanks for all of the support in the mean time)
