Chapter Eight
Max POV
Sweetie of course not I'm just mad and sleepy. Go back to sleep I'll talk to you in the morning. I thought back to a drowsy looking Angel.
You're lying. She thought and put her head back down on the seat. I sighed knowing it wasn't the last I've heard of that conversation and blinked away the wetness in my eyes. Five minuets of complete silence later we were in my moms drive way. Iggy pulled up behind us and there girls lazily got their selves out of the car mumbling "Night" and "See you tomorrows" as they passed us. I got out and picked up Angel from the back. My mom was home and asleep by now so she would see the boys in the morning. I brought Angel up to her room and changed her into her PJ's I tucked her in and kissed her head. Fang was waiting by the door. I brushed past him with out looking at him. I knew he was fallowing me though because the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up.
"Fallow me to my apartment okay?" I said to Gazzy who was looked like he was about to fall asleep. He nodded and got in his car. Fang to my extreme displeasure got back in my car and we drove to my apartment.
"Look Max. I'm sorry. Please we can't go on like this. It was bad enough being away from you for five years. I can't handle you hating me like this. If you want me gone then just tell me." Fang said.
Of course I didn't want him gone I mean he was part of my family. Yeah I was pissed but I was still glad he was here. I sighed and turned to him.
"I don't want you to leave. But don't expect things to go back to the way they were right away." I said.
"And I promise you Maximum I'm here to stay." He gave me one of his smiles that I've missed so much. The kind of smile that makes the sun shine brighter and my world tip the wrong way. I gave him a little smile in return.
Fang POV
We pulled up to an apartment building that looked more like a classy hotel. We walked to the front door and a man in a uniform opened the door for us. The lobby of the building had marble floors and a big chandelier. There was a desk with a guy who looked about my age behind it. Max looked at him and gave him a smile. He returned it and went back to texting. My jaw clenched and I glared him. We walked over to the elevators and got in. Max pressed the button top floor, level 10, and it started to go up. The elevator dinged and the doors opened to a circular room. The floor was different colored wood that looked like a sun in the middle was a large table with a huge flower arrangement above that was a chandelier similar to the one in the lobby. Directly across from the elevator was a pair of double doors with the numbers 243 above them. Max walked to the door and dug in her purse for her keys. Gazzy whistled looking around the little room.
"Gezze Max this place is nice and we aren't even inside yet." Gazzy said. Max gave him a little smile and opened the doors.
When you walked in there was a foyer with a place to put your coats and a little bench then it opened up into a large living room with glass double doors opening onto a balcony that had a great view. Then there was another door that I assumed was a bathroom. Off to the side was the kitchen and then there was a hallway with four more doors. Max placed her bag on the bench and took off her shoes.
"Okay um Gazzy and Iggy. Your room is the second door on the left. Your bathroom is the first door on the left. My room is right across. There are two twin beds Nudge and Angel usually sleep in. I think I might have some clothes for you. Since you left you bags in the car." They yawned and thanked her and headed to their room. I tried not to think too much about why in the world she would have guys clothing in her apartment.
"Erm the couch is really comfortable. I'll go get you some blankets and such." I nodded and went to sit on the L shaped couch that faced a big screen TV that hung over a fireplace. A few minuets later she came back with a stack of blankets and pillows with an unopened toothbrush on top. She plopped it down next to me.
"The bathroom is right there" she nodded towards a door by the kitchen. "The fridge is full, help your self." With that she turned on a heel and headed to her room. "Good night" I mumbled a bit to late.
Max POV
I walked to the laundry room that was next to my room to search for some clothes Ace might have left here. Ace was my best friend he worked the counter down stairs but lived in the dorms on campus. He slept over sometimes but in the other room. I found a two t-shirts and a pair of basketball shorts but that was all. I grabbed them and went to the boys' room. I knocked once.
"Come in" Iggy yelled. I opened the door to see both boys lying on their beds fully dressed. I threw the clothes at them.
"Where did you get these?" Iggy asked wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"Oh gross!" I yelled smacking the back of his head. Yes I know, so mature of me. He smirked. Gee I wonder whom he learned that from.
"Good night you guys." I said ruffling Gazzy's hair and shutting the door behind me. I went to my room and went in to my huge bathroom that connected with my room. I grabbed the special shampoo that I got to wash out the pink dye and turned on my shower. After I got all the pink out, washed off all my make up, I shut off the water and rapped a big light purple towel around me. I went to my walk in closet and picked out a pair of shorts and a tank top after I got changed and ran a comb through my hair I decided that I wanted something sweet. I headed down the hall to the kitchen and opened the fridge. I grabbed a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream out of the freezer and jumped up to sit on the granite counter top.
Fang came out of the bathroom (his hair still damp from his shower) in just his boxers reveling his toned chest and another tattoo. On his collarbone there was the word "libertà" (AN that means freedom in Italian) written in black ink. I let my eyes travel down his perfect chiseled stomach and back to his face. He had his signature smirk spread across his face but didn't say anything. He came over to me and leaned against the counter beside me. He took the spoon, which was sitting in the pint of ice cream on my lap and ate a bite. I watched as his perfect lips closed around the spoon. Lucky spoon. Um. I did not just think that.
"Mmm. My favorite flavor" he said licking his lips and placing the spoon back in the container. I nodded not trusting my voice. He tried to take another bite.
"Mine" I said glaring at him and cradling the ice cream protectively against my chest. He stared at me and an evil glint came to his eyes. He smiled and lunged at me. I let out a yelp and jumped up on the counter before he could get me I jumped over him and landed behind him. He was fast but I was faster. There was one bite left I grabbed the spoon before he could and popped it in my moth with a triumphant smile. He scowled.
"Don't forget who you are messing with." I said licking my fingertips just for effect.
"Of course not oh Badass One." He said.
"Damn right" I said barrowing his smirk.
"Sarcasm." He sighed rolling his eyes.
"Oh yeah coming from the one who has the swollen lip from me." I said cracking my knuckles. Apparently this threaten his masculinity so the testosterone kicked in and he said "Oh please Max you and I both know that I could kick your ass any day little girl."
"Your such a sexist pig!" I said stomping my foot. He snorted like a pig.
"God Fang how old are you? Six?" I yelled.
"What's going on?" Iggy asked I turned around to see him rubbing his eyes we clearly woke him up.
"Nothing Ig we just need to get the PMS queen a tampon she's being a royal pain in the ass." He said smirking at me while Iggy stifled laughter.
"WHAT! Oh my god Fang! You're impossible!" I yelled and stormed out of the room.
I slammed my door shut and flopped down on my bed face first. I lied like that for a few hours until I decided I need some air. I threw my big fluffy purple blanket off me and walked over to my balcony. I heard soft music coming from the living room. I quietly walked into the living room and heard Fang softly playing my acoustic guitar (that I had on display in the living room next to the grand piano) and singing on the terrace. I tiptoed to the open doors and sat down resting my back against the doorframe. Fangs was sitting on a chair facing away from me with a pad of paper and a pen on the small table beside him. The moonlight outlined his broad shoulders and slightly messed up hair.
You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy that's what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
You're all of my days
He sang softly. He stopped and wrote something down on the pad.
You're lookin' so cool your lookin' so fly
I can't deny that when I'm staring
You down right dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want
The person you need
It's hard to conceive
That somebody like you could be with
Someone like me
I felt my eyes lids becoming heavy.
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce
Uhh ooo ooo
I smiled and finally fell asleep listing too Fangs soft voice.
Sun. Too much sun. I slowly opened one of my eyes and stretched my arms. I realized that I was back in my bed. I sat up and stretched a little more. Then the smell of bacon hit me like a brick. I sprang out of bed and ran to the kitchen. Gazzy was sitting on one of the barstools with an empty plate in front of him. He was holding a fork in one hand and a knife in the other vertically with a napkin tucked to the front of his shirt. I walked over to him and ruffled his hair.
"Smells great Ig. What are you making?" I asked.
"Bacon and pancakes." He replied taking some sizzling bacon out of a pan. I licked my lips and poured my self some coffee. I walked into the living room to see Fang sleeping on the couch one leg and one arm hanging off the side his other arm was slung lazily over his naked chest and the blankets I brought him where rapped around his other leg. I smiled to my self and sat down on the other side. I sipped my coffee and saw the book that he had been writing in last night open on the floor. I tiptoed over and grabbed it.
It was full of lyrics. I flipped to the most recent song and started to read his messy handwriting.
Happy
You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy that's what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
You're all of my days
You're lookin so cool your lookin so fly
I can't deny that when I'm staring
You down right dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want
The person you need
It's hard to conceive
That somebody like you could be with
Someone like me
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce
Uhh ooo ooo
You're lookin so fresh
It's catching my eye
Why oh why did I not see this before
The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see
Were meant to be
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce
On the good, the bad, the ugly
The smiles, the laughs, the funny,
Or all the things we put each other through
It's for you for you for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy that's what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
You're all of my days
I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other si-ide
The more I think the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and justa reminisce
Uhh ooo ooo
I smiled and shut the book. I placed it back on the floor
His fingers twitched and he opened his eyes. "Good morning sleeping beauty." I chuckled he scowled at me and took my coffee out of my hand and began sipping it.
