A/N: This story was supposed to end yesterday, but my family went to a friend's house yesterday and I didn't get to type this chapter. Well, this is the last chapter of this story. Hope you enjoyed reading this one. :)

Epilogue

All turned out fine in the Raines household.

Fang's parents accepted Max and let her stay in their house. And for that, Fang was grateful for his mother, though he won't admit it to anyone.

On the other side, Max was not grateful. She didn't get to unleash Fang's temper. She knew that whole I'm-leaving-you reason won't work. But still, it did get Fang all riled up.

The day Fang's parents left for Helsinki, the house exploded.

With freedom. (Did you really think the house would blow up?)

And, Iggy and Gazzy threw a party. They even "invited" Max's family from Arizona just to go to this party. (read: "invited" = kidnapped.)

As usual, Dr. M acted as the chaperone. And she vowed she won't leave the kids out of her sight.

Too late.

Fang and Max left the house and went to town.

"So," Max said, her brown eyes fixed on the yellow orb setting in the horizon. "What happens now?" She crossed her arms on her chest.

Fang slurped his frappuccino for a minute before answering. "We go back home?"

Max giggled. "I know that. I meant, the bigger picture."

"Ah."

"So?" She glanced at Fang's profile. Amazing. No one told her how awesome being in love is. And no one also told her she would fall for her boss in just three months.

"What do you want to happen?" Fang met her gaze with an arched brow.

Max bit her lower lip. Opening up is still the one thing she isn't too fond of. She took a deep breath. "I really don't know what I want," Max confessed to the wind, hoping Fang didn't hear it.

But Fang did. "Of course you know. You're too lazy to dig deeper in your mind." Fang tapped a finger on Max's smooth temple. Fang slowly took hold of her hand.

"What about you? What do you want?" Max rested her head on his left shoulder.

"All I want is you."

Max's heart leapt. "Why did you tell me you love me?"

Instead of answering the question, Fang hummed a tune. Then, words followed. Fang looked at Max dead in the eye.

I long to tell you,
How much I need you.
If I could find the words to say,
I'd never have to feel this way;
Not knowin' just what to do when I'm with you.

My friends, they tell me
That I could shouldn't hurry.
Yet this feelin' keep goin' strong
'Cause you keep it goin' on.
Though I have to say how much. . .

I love you, Max, can't you tell me and see,
What you're doin' to me?
Oh, Max, this feelin' I just can't hide
Keeps drivin' me wild.
Oh, Max, I need you here with me
I wish it could be.
Oh, Max, won't you stay with me?

Your eyes, they look through me.
Your smile, they did push me.
I've never thought I'd love again,
But this time I hope it never ends.
I have to tell you know. . .

I love you, Max, can't you tell me and see
What you're doin' to me?
Oh, Max, this feelin' I just can't hide
Keeps drivin' me wild
Oh, Max, I need you here with me
I wish it could be.
Oh, Max, won't you stay with me?

Oh, Max. . .

Max smiled brightly at Fang.

Max only said one word. "Anna."

Fang looked confused. He thought Max would've thrown her arms around his neck and squeal. But, Max wasn't like that.

Max laughed, the sound was music in Fang's ears. "The title of the song is Anna. And you replaced Anna to Max in the chorus."

Fang ran a hand on his hair and laughed with Max. "It wouldn't make sense if I didn't replace it to Max."

Max nodded. "Yeah, that would be really weird." Max wrapped her arms around his waist.

Fang stiffened for a moment and relaxed. Fang leaned down and kissed the top of Max's brown head.

"I thought this would be forbidden. . ." Max murmured on his shirt.

"This?"

"This. Turns out it isn't. And I really. . . like it." Fang felt her smile.

Fang grinned. "Now you tell me," Fang requested.

Max looked at Fang, her fingers ran all over his jaw. "Tell you what?"

"That you love me. I want to hear the words."

Max grinned.

"I love you."

The words kept replaying on Fang's head. The best gift ever.

What's meant to be will always find a way together.

Forbidden or not.

A/N: The end. I really loved writing this story with you guys reading and reviewing it all the way. See you soon! ;)

Fang: Bye.

Iggy: (much more happy than Fang) BYE!

Me: (smiles) RnR?
