Guys! Here's my chapter four. Hope you'll like it. You might think that it's kind of rushed, but no. I'm just feeling thoughtful today. Read and review!
I opened my eyes and woke up on a sofa I have never seen before. I looked around and I saw a homey house. There was a lot of nice furniture and it was spacey.
"Max? What happened to you?" a voice asked. I looked behind me to see who it was and it wouldn't take a genius to figure it out.
Fang. I looked at him questioningly. "Why did you bring me here? I'm betting that this is your house." I said. He nodded. "Yeah, this is where I live now. I brought you here to introduce you to my parents and – I tried to bring you to your apartment but the owner hates me. I don't know why, so I decided not to push him or I might forcibly kill him." He chuckled. I smiled. "So where are they?" I asked. "They're asleep. It's three-thirty in the morning, remember?" he said. That's when I realized what he wants to do. "Where am I going to sleep?" I asked. He pointed towards the front door. "Outside." He smiled. I laughed and hit him with a pillow from the sofa. "No really! Where?" I asked. "On a mat. You could stay in the living room or in my room. It's your choice." He said. He sat down beside me and asked in a more serious tone, "So tell me. What was up with you?" he asked. I swallowed. Why can't he forget it? Then he said, "Max." I looked at him and he looked at me. Real close.
"Don't you trust me?" he asked. I was hyperventilating again! Please don't make me faint. I took a deep breath and said, "I do. But I don't know how to say this to you." I said in a hushed tone. He pressed his lips together then he leaned closer and then he put his hand behind my neck and kissed me.
I didn't want to push him away, but at the same I time I wanted to. It felt really good, yet bad. He kissed me really intently but I pushed him away. "No." I said. He looked confused. "You have a girlfriend, remember?!" I said in a loud voice. He took a deep breath and look at me. "Max. I can't believe that this is about my girlfriend. That was your problem all along?" he said in an icy tone. I swallowed. Way to go, Max! I looked down and tears started to build up in my eyes. Fang tilted my head up, facing him. "Yes, I have a girlfriend. But you're always my most important girl. I would kill her if it was the only way to make you smile." He said in a softer tone and then hugged me really tight. I hugged him back. Dammit, Max! You're being selfish! Stop it! I looked at Fang and said, "No. Don't dump her. If she makes you happy, I'm happy." I said. He looked at me for a long time, probably trying to figure out if I was lying or not. I think he didn't see through my mask. Then suddenly, he smiled evilly. "To make sure you're not lying, I'm going to introduce her to you tomorrow – I mean later. If you react badly, I'm breaking up with her." He said. No, Fang, please don't do this to me! I took in a really deep breath and then said, "No. Please. Don't break up with her." I begged. "We'll see." He said, then he leaned in to kiss me again. This time, I didn't have any urge to pull away, only to get closer. I wrapped my arms around him and he did too. It lasted for about a minute when we let go of each other, panting. I closed my eyes and said, "Alright, can we not do that anymore? I feel really guilty." I said. He laughed. "Fine. C'mon, let's go to sleep." He said then added, "by the way, where do you want to sleep?" he asked me. I looked at him and said, "Where d'ya think?" He chuckled and put his arm around me while going up to his room.
I think Fang was already asleep because the room was quiet already. Well, Fang is quiet. His room is mostly colored black or gray. I laughed. Until now, he still didn't change. I rolled on my mat, which by the way is more comfortable than my bed in the apartment. I couldn't sleep. Things just happened too quickly today – I met up with the flock that I separated seven years ago and their lives are fabulous. Then I found out Fang has a girlfriend which made me jealous, I admit. Then he kissed me! Two times, even if he has a girlfriend. To make it all worse, he's going to introduce her to me in a few hours! Things in my life are just going too quickly that it feels like its slapping me in the face. I closed my eyes and tried to think about other stuff. Oh right. The only thing in my life besides the flock is my stupid job! I grabbed the pillow Fang gave me and put it on my face murmuring cusses. Plus, I don't have clothes to change into, so I'll have to sleep with this silver dress Nudge gave me! This is so great. If you can't sense the sarcasm, then you're stupid.
A warm hand held my shoulder, shaking me. "Max? It's time for breakfast." Fang said. I yawned and stretched and I saw him looking really groggy. I chuckled. "I haven't seen you look tired in ages." I said. He smiled. "Well, school takes up your energy, more than flying does." He said. I stood up and when I saw my dress, I moaned. "I should've gotten clothes in my apartment. I feel really idiotic wearing a nightdress in the morning." I said. He laughed. "You still look beautiful though." He said. I smirked. We went downstairs and I saw a couple.
The woman was very pretty but not tall but the man was really tall. They looked at me when I got downstairs and said, "You must be Max." The woman said then shook my hand. "It's nice to meet you." She said. The man did the same. Then she said, "My name is Joanna Williams and this is my husband, Ethan." I smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Mr. and Mrs. Williams." I said.
Fang showed me to the dining room and I sat down beside him. Mrs. Williams made eggs and bacon – the usual breakfast in an American house, I think. I ate my breakfast and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Williams for letting me stay in their home and for the delicious breakfast. "You could visit anytime, alright?" she said. I smiled and said yes. I was going to leave their house, get changed and meet Fang at the park nearby. He asked his girlfriend to come there so he could introduce us. I thought it was a stupid idea, but I don't want to question Fang. Before I left, Fang called after me and said, "Don't be overdressed. You might make Tracy conscious about herself." He said. I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Like that'll happen." I said then he leaned in again, probably to kiss me again but I put my finger to his lips and shook my head. He understood so he just hugged me. I left their house and went back to my apartment.
"What to wear?!" I murmured to myself. I looked at my closet and stared at my clothes. I grabbed an ordinary pink shirt and a pair of black jeans. After dressing up, I combed my hair for 5 freaking minutes! My hair does look pretty when I fix it. But who cares? I looked at my watch (YES I have a watch) and its ten o'clock already. I'm supposed to meet Fang and pretty face at the park at ten thirty. I ran outside the apartment and just walked towards the park.
I was almost there when I saw Fang and Ms. Pretty Face sitting on a bench, holding hands. Keep your cool, Max, I thought to myself. I'm not going to act badly. Behave! I took a step forward but stopped when I saw little Ms. Pretty Face holding Fang everywhere. I mean everywhere! I'd rather not mention where. The next thing I know was I was on top of little Ms. Pretty Face strangling her until she was unconscious. My eyes widened and I let go of her and stood up and ran away, tears falling from my face.
I arrived in my apartment and I jumped on my bed, lying my stomach and cried my heart out. I don't know why I did that, I don't even know how. If I knew that I would do that, I would stop myself because I know that Fang is going to kill me! I need to talk to Nudge.
I grabbed the old telephone and dialed Nudge's number. There were a few rings then a voicemail said, "You've reached Nudge! I'm busy right now probably looking pretty, so leave a message after the beep!" BEEP.
"Nudge? It's Max. I need your help. I need to talk to you. Please call, ASAP." I said, my voice cracking. I put down the phone then it rang. How appropriate. I answered.
"Max?! What is it? Do you want me to come over?!" Nudge yelled. I shook my head even if she can't see it. "No, it's okay." I said. I swallowed and then I said, "Here's what happened. I could trust you with anything, right?" I took a deep breath then Nudge said, "Of course, Max." I swallowed again, trying to keep my voice in control. I told her the whole story and she didn't say a thing. When I said her name two times, she said, "Oh my God. I can't believe Fang would do that to you!" in an angry tone. "I kind of liked it, but I felt guilty." She laughed. "Max, if you want Fang, go get him. If you don't then don't react. You can't have both ways." She said. I took a really deep breath and said, "The worst part is, I think I killed his girlfriend." I said in a low voice. She was quiet for a minute. "I bet Fang hates me. He didn't expect me to kill his girlfriend, just react badly!" I practically yelled. "Max, I doubt it that Fang's mad at you. He loved you, loves you and always will. He even said it himself. He would kill Tracy if it was the only way to make you smile. But you were the one who killed her." She said with a little chuckle. I smiled a bit. "Thanks, Nudge! You're the best. Have fun in Hollywood." I said. "I will." She giggled, then I put down the phone.
I laid on my bed, my eyes still sore from crying. I felt a little guilty from killing Fang's girlfriend (I think you've caught up that I don't like saying her name) and from kissing Fang. I closed my eyes when someone rung the doorbell. I stood up, fixed myself a bit and opened the door.
"Delivery." A man's voice said. His face was covered with flowers. A big bouquet, I tell you. I was confused. "Who gave this? Or maybe you have the wrong apartment." I said. The guy laughed. He put down the flowers and I saw his face.
It was the most gorgeous face I have ever seen.
Oh right.
It was Fang.
I looked down, so he wouldn't see me. "This isn't the hospital. Your girlfriend's in the hospital and I bet her mom is filing a case on me." I said in a low voice. I took a deep breath then he said, "I'm not giving this bouquet to Tracy. That would be wasting money. It's for you." He handed me the large bouquet and went inside my apartment, even if I didn't let him. The bouquet was beautiful and it smelled good and expensive. "How much did you spend on this?" I asked. He laughed. "Max, when someone gives you a gift, you don't ask them how much it costs." He said informatively. I put the lovely bouquet on my bed and sat down there too. Fang sat beside me and said, "You're right. Your apartment stinks. Literally." He said. I chuckled a bit. He put his arm around me and I just went with it. "Tracy's not my girlfriend anymore." He said, then he looked at me mischievously. "Do you want to ditch this apartment and come live with me?" he asked. I wanted to, but a part of me thinks it's not right. I took a deep breath and then I suddenly remembered what Nudge said. Max, if you want Fang, go get him. If you don't, then don't react. You can't have both ways .I took another deep breath, thinking if I do want him or not.
It's not really that hard to figure out. Let me give you a hint: Fang was sitting down innocently, waiting for my response. My response: I lunged at him and kissed him real intently. Emphasis on real.
Still can't figure it out? Have your brain checked. Seriously.
Not really my favorite chapter, how about you? What did you think? Should I write more or not? REVIEW! :D (Jeez, I'm so desperate.)
