Chapter 3

Max's POV

We were kissing again, his tongue in my mouth, exploring. On their own accord, my hands went up to his chest, feeling his muscles, he had a 6-pack. His hands were around my waist, securely holding me in place. We kissed for a very long time, only stopping to breathe and say "I love you." I felt my skin heating up, I was sweating, it was surprisingly warm out, even here in Washington. After about a half an hour or so, we broke apart and I laid my head on his stomach, panting. "God, I'm so hot."

"yes, you are"

" you know I didn't mean it that way, but thanks, so are you."

"your welcome and thanks to you too" I rolled my eyes.

"we should get back, they might worry" I whispered.

"yeah, lets go"

We flew back to the Cullen's place. The younger kids were already asleep, thank the Lord. We went up to check on them, Angel was sleeping in Nessie's room, Nudge was already asleep in a different room, Gazzy in another, and Iggy was lounging in another. The one Iggy was in was white; WONDER why? Me and Fang went to a different room, sat on the bed and- you guessed it- kissed, tongues brushing together. Then Edward walked in.

"oh I'm sorry, I just need to know what house you were getting."

"we want the house at *insert address here*"

"okay, we'll get it, have fun you two" he walked out. And we did, have fun that is, we kissed then went to bed.

~DREAM~

I was walking along the beach down in La Push when someone came up behind me. I expected it to be Fang, and it was. We kissed, that's when I found out something was wrong, he tasted like…metal, like he was a Fang-Flyboy. Then I got punched in the stomach and I collapsed.

~END OF DREAM~

I bolted up straight in bed, and Fang woke up beside me. "What's wrong sweetie?" "dream…you…beach…metal…Fang 2...stomach…."

"shh shh it's okay, it was just a dream," but a had to prove it so I kissed him. It was just a dream…but once I started, I couldn't stop. I kissed him hard. I was now over my bad dream, I just wanted to have him forever.

Fang's POV

We went to bed.

!~DREAM~!

I was walking with Max on the beach then we stopped and kissed, my tongue was searching her mouth and hers was doing the same to mine. This was amazing, I loved it. But, as it was a dream, it couldn't last forever.

!~END OF DREAM~!

I woke up to the feeling of someone bolting straight up. Once I knew it was Max, I was wide awake. "What's wrong sweetie?"

"dream…you…beach…metal…Fang 2...stomach…."

I had o idea what she was talking about but I figured it was a nightmare so I said, "shh shh it's okay, it was just a dream," then she kissed me, at first seeming like she was trying to prove something, but then really getting into the kiss.

Once again, though, damn oxygen broke us apart. "what happened honey?"

"I had a nightmare"

"I got that part, what happened in the dream?"

"I was walking on the beach when you came up behind me, only it wasn't you it was like a flyboy Fang, and I didn't know until right before I got punched in the stomach."

"how'd you figure it out?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"I kissed him and he tasted like metal"

"and that's why you kissed me…"

"well, that and I needed to, it calms me down, makes me feel safe." that made me smile. I kissed her again.

oh my God, I love him soooo much! wait a second- where did THAT come from? Did-did I just read her MIND? She must have felt me stop moving, because she pulled back to look at me with concerned eyes. "what were you just thinking?"

"about how I love you soooo much, why?"

"I just read your mind…" no… this wasn't possible not at all, NOT possible yes, it is very possible, you can read Max's mind, but ONLY hers and with that I clutched my head in pain, it hurt SOOOO bad! I felt Max's arms around me, trying to comfort me.

Edward burst into the room, reading my mind, but that's when I blacked out.

Max's POV

I felt Fang stop moving. "What were you just thinking?"

"about how I love you soooo much, why?" now I was really confused.

"I just read your mind" he sat there for a minute, then clutched his head, whimpering almost silently. I wrapped my arms around him, trying to comfort him. Then, Edward burst into the room, looking concerned, no doubt he read Fang's mind.

"what happened?" I asked

"I don't know, I heard your voice in his head, then a voice with no gender or emotion." "why would he be getting the voice now? Itex is already destroyed." I was really confused by this, was the world in danger again? God I hope not, that would SUCK.

"well apparently he can read your mind and only your mind"

"is that supposed to comfort me?"

"I knew it wouldn't work but I tried anyway"

"Grrr"

By now all the vampires had heard and were in the doorway with concerned eyes.

"You guys can go. I've been through this before; I know how it feels." they nodded and left.

About ten seconds later he stopped making noise and could look up. He looked apologetic.

"It's OK Fang, it will all be fine." and, god, do I want that to be the truth.

"I heard that. Even you have doubts and now I can always read your mind to figure anything out."

"yeah yeah yeah, just don't abuse it. I'd have to kick your ass."

"What? You'll share your mind with a total stranger but not with me?"

"Huh?"

"You shared your mind with the Voice. And you didn't even know him."

I didn't have a choice. And you know I wanted him out. You know I hated it. I thought to him, knowing he was listening.

He grinned. "He was still in your head. I will be too. No matter how much you hate it!" he told me.

I narrowed my eyes. "Grrr."

Fang's POV

Yes!!! I can finally see what's in Max's head!!! I just hope the voice in my head doesn't mean that the world is in danger again.

"Let's go back to sleep" I said, just as she was about to yawn. Get out of my head!

"No."

"Whatever. Goodnight. I love you." she told me. My heart just about burst every time I heard her say that.

"I love you too, Max. And I always will." she smiled and kissed me gently before laying her head on my chest.

We fell back to sleep. This one was dreamless though.

I woke up to the smell of bacon, ham, eggs, cheese and…something else.

I looked down to Max. she looked so peaceful. Just as I thought that- she started to wake up.

"Hmmmnn" she mumbled. She's not really a morning person if she doesn't have to be.

Not that we'd know that. We always had to get up to fight or take care of the kids.

I rubbed between her wings, how she likes it. Mmmmmm. Bacon, eggs, cheese, ham and oregano. Wait- since when did I know what oregano smelled like? Oh yeah- I watched Iggy cook last time we were in one of those hotels with a kitchen. Max thought.

"oregano. That's what its called." I said.

"Grrr." she looked so beautiful when she was mad.

We went downstairs to find Alice cooking omelets. She smiled at us as we sat down.

"Everyone still sleeping?" Max asked.

"Yup!" she sing-songed.

"They won't be for long- they'll smell the food."

"They'll be up in 47 seconds." she told us matter-of-factly.

"it's creepy how you do that you know?" Max told her. She just smiled and gave us the plates of gigantic omelets.

"Careful, it's hot."

Did we hear her? Yes. Did we listen? No. we burned our mouths, but didn't care. It was awesome food, and we were hungry. Did I mention it was awesome?

"How does a person who doesn't eat cook so well?" Max asked me.

"Food Network." eight voices answered.

"Creepy" Me and Max said at the same time. They all laughed. Just then a tired Iggy slouched into the room. "Hey Igs." we said, then looked at each other. We cracked smiles, and after my face turned back into an emotionless mask once again.

Don't tell me you're going back to no-emotions-Fang again. I like this Fang. You know- the one that talks every once and a while. And the one where I'm not the only one who can read your emotions. I heard Max think. I turned to her, smirked, then kissed her quickly. I didn't really want to start a make-out session in front of a whole bunch of fucking vampires for crying out loud!

Edward chuckled. stupid mind readers.

Max looked at him, confused. Obviously his family was used to this.

"Your boyfriend over there was thinking. He can tell you what" she looked at me.

"It wasn't really anything- really." she looked disbelieving. you know better than to hide stuff from me. You know I'll get it out of you somehow.

"Yeah I know" I told her.

So tell me!

"later" I mumbled. She narrowed her eyes, then gave up. For now. jerk.

I smiled and put her on my lap. She smiled at that and leaned on me, sighing contently. Nudge came down, looking excited. "I can float!" she exclaimed. Then she lifted up off the ground. Up…up…up… and into the ceiling. We cracked up. Iggy said, "What happened? I heard Nudge say she can float and then a thump."

"She floated into the ceiling Igs." we said, then started cracking up again. Iggy cracked a smile. Then I remembered something. Crap. Mom. "I'll be back."

I went up to the room I slept in last night. I took out my cell and scrolled down to, 'Mom' then pushed the 'call' button. After three rings, she picked up.

"Hello?"

"hey mom, sorry I forgot to call last night, it was a little crazy." a hand came down on my shoulder and I turned to see Fang. He must have followed me up here. He smiled & I smiled back.

"It's OK sweetie. How is everyone?"

"Great. We're getting a house & the younger kids are going to school"

"That's good sweetie. You got a cell?"

"Yup."

"Where are you staying until you get a house."

"uh… with some people we met."

"Do they know?" she asked worriedly.

"Yeah, but they won't hurt us."

"you're sure?"

"yes, mom"

"You know, you could just move back here with us. Total, Akila, Ella, and I miss you. We want you back."

"No mom, we're okay. We actually like it here. We're In a small town named Forks if you would like to know. Me, Fang, and Iggy are going to Seattle while the kids school shop today." Fang raised an eyebrow at me. I shrugged. I was just trying make-up something to make my mom think that we were fine. "okay, well mom, I gotta go take care of the Flock Bye!" I hung up.

I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed Fang. He kissed back immediately. When we broke apart he said, "About Seattle, you want to go? And leave the 'Iggy' part out of it?"

Iggy suddenly poked his head in. "I heard that and I'm going!" I sighed.

"Fine, Igs." I looked at Fang. 'We'll ditch the blind guy' I mouthed. He smirked.

Iggy left and Alice came in. "Hi guys!" she sing-songed.

"Hi, Alice." I said.

"Here are the clothes we bought for you yesterday. Sorry, guys, but apparently that mall is closing down, so they didn't have anything else in your size, sorry again. And with that, she disappeared. These must be really bad then…crap. I handed Fang his bag and cautiously opened mine. My jaw dropped immediately. On top were the skimpiest looking pair of black panties I've ever seen. Fang looked curious and tried to look in the bag, but I snatched it away and ran to the bathroom, calling, "Get dressed, I'll be out in a second." I got dressed quickly, knowing that if I took the time to process what I was putting on, I wouldn't be able to walk out of the bathroom. When I opened the door, Fang had his back to me. He had shorts on. That's it. No shirt. My breathing hitched in my throat and I had to keep myself from tackling him and kissing him deeply once again.

I walked up quietly behind him and snaked my arms around his bare chest. He jumped a little, then turned around in my arms. I cocked my head to one side then smiled.

He looked down at what I was wearing and gulped. I took the time to figure out for myself exactly what I had on. My bottoms were very short jean shorts and my top was a closely fitting, plunging V-neck light blue, very short sleeve Aeropostal shirt.

"What do you think?" I asked when he didn't say anything. He gulped again.

"Max…you look…so…hot." he told me. I rolled my eyes.

"Right." I snorted.

"Really Max."

"What ever." I kissed him. "We should get going. You should get a shirt on." I eyed his chest. He smirked, turned around and pulled on a muscle shirt.

"Iggy! We're leaving, you coming?" I called.

"Yeah!" he called back.

We all walked out of the house and I noticed Alice had thought to put slits for our wings.

We headed to Seattle, flying so no one would see us.

So? How did you like it? Thank you to all my reviewers. Sorry it took so long.
