Alright, I'm putting up this next chapter becuase of my two awesome reviewers: Shelbs13 and liz. They gave me great reviews :D This goes out to you two.


I felt Max shift on my back again pressing herself closer for a few extra seconds. She went still again, almost lax against my back. It was good that she trusted me so much, with her being so closed off. I felt her lips against my neck, staying there for a minute. I felt them move, just to go on the other side of my neck. Again they stayed there for a minute before they left. They didn't reappear this time, just Max's voice sounded.

"You smell good." I was silent for a minute. I did not know where that came from, and was just a bit surprised with her random comment.

"Thank you?" I questioned. I didn't know how to respond to this, since I don't have people commenting on my scent all that often.

"I like it. It makes me feel calmer, I guess. Relaxed." She made a noise then was silent after that.

We all kept walking. I heard Iggy talking to Nudge in the back, but too quiet to hear what they were saying over all of the noise of the street we were walking beside.

"Right here Fang." Max said and I stopped. She slid off of me, and stretched, looking at the tall building in front of us. I looked as well.

It was about 10 stories tall, and curved in a semi circle. Between the two ends, there was a court with a wrap around drive way, and a nice fountain in the middle. From the looks of things, there was a ballet, expensive cars heading to parking spaces behind the building. Men in red uniform ran around, holding open doors and taking luggage out of trunks. There were those golden luggage carriers, filled with suitcases and bags. This was going to be fun.

After sharing a look, we walked up the drive way to the front doors. A person in red uniform quickly grabbed the door for us, smiling a fake smile as we walked through. The lobby was even more impressive then the exterior. There was another fountain with sculptors surrounding it. The floors were glossy, enough that we could see our scruffy reflections in it. It was very light and airy, putting me at ease just the slightest.

The receptionist was staring at us as if we weren't supposed to be in here. Well, we really weren't so I couldn't blame her. Max saw her staring and walked towards her with purpose. That walk made her hips sway more and I appreciated that as I followed her.

Max stopped to look at the receptionist, sizing her up. Max won hands down.

"Hi, I would like to get three rooms for two days. Two doubles, one single. Try and keep them together." Max said smartly. The receptionist raised an eyebrow, then tapped away at the keyboard in front of her.

"We have your rooms. Credit card?" She asked in her accent, holding out her hand for the Max Ride card. Max fished it out of her pocket, and gave it to her and signed off for it.

"You do know how much this will be right?" The receptionist questioned. Max rolled her eyes.

"I was hoping about 30 bucks in total. Was I right?" with that, Max turned on her heel, flagging down one of those bellboys. I took the key cards that the receptionist was giving us, staring at her before I went to find Max who was in the middle of the lobby.

"Your rooms are 1345, 1346, 1347!" She called after me. I took note of that and stood beside Max who was loading her backpack onto the trolley. I copied her and the rest of the flock did too. Once the trolley was full of our torn backpacks, the bellboy wouldn't take it away. He kept staring at Max as if she was a piece of meat. The low growl that escaped my throat wasn't entirely like me, but I knew that I didn't claim what was mine; he would actually think that he had a chance. I walked up behind Max, wrapping my arms around her waist, nuzzling her neck all while glaring at the keen bellboy.

Max was surprised at first, but then relaxed in my embrace. I smiled and pulled away taking her hand and glaring at the bellboy. She caught the glare and twisted her head to see the bellboy lick his lips and hold a hand to his face in a "call me" gesture.

I almost rammed his face into the ground, but Max held onto my hand. Gripping it would be a better word. I didn't break away like I could have easily done, listening to Max as a leader and as my girlfriend. Max pulled me towards the elevators, the last place I wanted to be.

"It's okay Fang." Max said quietly as the elevator doors slide shut. I interlaced my fingers with hers, gripping them tight. We didn't make eye contact, but the gesture was enough. Finally after a few agonizing seconds on the elevator, the doors slide open to our floor. How Max knew what floor to get off of amazed me, but I didn't question as I handed out the keycards. Nudge and Iggy took a room together, getting a raised eyebrow from Max, but other than that no comment. The real siblings shared a room of course and Max and me got the room with the one bed.

We walked into the suite and I heard Max gasp quietly. I was pretty amazed too. I never been in such a high class place before.


I know that's it's a dumb spot to leave off, but I couldn't just put everything up. :P Sorry it's so short compared to some chapters...please review... I know that you arn't. :P
