Chapter 32

Ella brought the flock upstairs to pick their rooms. She kind of figured where everyone would be. Max and Fang would have their rooms next to each other on the far left. Then, Ella's room next to Max. Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel there after. Max and Angel's rooms were on opposite sides. Their room doors faced each other while the other rooms were along the longest wall of the hallway.

She was happy to see she was right.

"Where's your room?" Iggy asked. They had already placed the sleeping Ari in Angel's bedroom. Total was busy taking a "well-deserved nap". Everyone else was checking out their rooms.

Ella pointed towards hers. "Wow, next to mine. I should've known." Iggy gave an arrogant smile and she had to hit his arm for it.

He rubbed his arm and said, "Why do girls have to keep hitting me like that?"

Ella hit his shoulder again and he stared at her.

"What was that one for?"

Ella shrugged and walked into her bedroom, "I read your post on Fang's blog."

Iggy followed her. She had light purple walls with a dark blue comforter on her bed. She had a laptop on a desk in the corner nearest to him on the right. Her bed was up against the wall on the corner nearest to his left. He watched as Ella sat down on the bed staring up at him.

Trying to be cool, he ran his hand through his hair and replied, "So you read that huh?" Ella nodded her head and began laughing so hard.

"Oh my God, Iggy. You made yourself sound so…ridiculous. I feel bad for the girl you like." Iggy blushed and stared at her. When she was done laughing he took a deep breath.

"What if-. What if the girl I liked was in this room?" Ella ducked her head and looked at her hands in her lap. He could hear her heart still, racing for whatever reason that he didn't know. Well, he had said it, and now, he was going to get rejected.

Ella stood up and walked over to him, looking him right in the eyes to deliver the blow. Iggy wanted to tell her that before, when Total was getting married, that he wasn't listening to the ceremony, he was listening to her breathing, that made soothed him. Normally, he was ready to jump and run, not as bad as Max or Fang, but still, he needed a getaway plan. But not around her.

She let out a deep breath and he closed his eyes. Figured he might as well hear the rejection instead of see it. Then, she was pressing her lips against his with a lot of strength.

Iggy was so shocked at first that he thought Geez, I hope I get rejected more often. He then managed to bring his arms around her waist and hold her closely against him.

Ella backed off for a moment and stared at his eyes, "And that blog you wrote?"

"What blog?" Iggy murmured with a smile, "Damn it, Max must have been getting revenge for when I walked in on her and Fang- making out." He added the last part quickly knowing his head would be on a bamboo stick if he told Ella the real truth about Max and Fang.

"Sounds like something my sister would do," Ella smiled and they began kissing again. Her hands were at his chest and his were at her waist.

That's when someone burst in on them.

Max stood there with Fang laughing as Iggy backed from Ella.

"We should learn to knock around here," Fang noted, his arm around Max's waist.

"I was thinking more along the line that revenge is sweet," Max replied back.

Iggy gave them a smile. "All right, I get it. Ha Ha. We saw Iggy and Ella kissing. Ooh, big deal. Too bad I've got the Trump card and I'm not afraid to use it."

Max's face went serious, "Fine, I was just coming to tell my sister that dinner would be ready soon. And then I was going to tell Iggy but you guys saved me a trip. So thanks."

Then, her and Fang disappeared down the hall. Ella began laughing first and then Iggy. She walked up to him and he rested his forehead against hers. "Well, this will be interesting." She bit her lip and raised an eyebrow.

"I love being able to see you," he whispered. "But I always knew you were beautiful." Ella blushed and kissed him lightly on the lips.

Then she rolled her eyes and grabbed Iggy's hand. She pulled him towards the open door. "Come on before Max and Fang drop the news. I would rather be the one to tell my mom."

"Why?" Iggy couldn't hide his panic. Dr. Martinez had strict rules while everyone was living in the house.

"Because," Ella replied lightly and a whisper so no one could hear, "If we don't tell her she's going to jump to conclusions." She went forward but Iggy remained still. She turned to face him and he had a wide grin on his face.

"What kind of conclusions?" he asked.
