EDITED*
Hey hey hey waffles! Here is chapter twenty seven! I'm trying to end it in like, ten chapters, I don't want to drag this out forever! But alas, I doubt it will be ten. Twenty maybe? Darn. But I have the plot line plotted out!
August 3
Fang POV
And it was the best underwater kiss ever. Wait, I'm not Percy Jackson, nor was the kiss underwater. Soooo... It was the best kiss ever! Beat that Percy. And you Edward! AND YOU JACE! Ahem.
I wrapped my around her waist and deepened the kiss. Her arms went around my neck and I kicked behind me and came into contact with Iggy's shins, since he was just about to dunk me underwater. Hell no Iggy, you are not ruining this for me! He groaned and I heard him SPLASH as he got out of the water.
But seriously, I thought it was a happy ending. Like when you get to the end of faery tales and it says, "and they kissed and lived happily ever after." But why, in the smallest part of my brain, did I think that we weren't going to get a happy ending?
Max POV
After our kiss, Angel kept oohing and aahing about how cute it was, we got kicked out, so we headed to our respected rooms, Fang's arm around my waist. Yup, stupid life guard kicked us out because we were scarring the minds of the little kids. Oh please, at this rate, babies are going to be swearing! No really, I overheard a cute little toddler say f-
"-inally!" Ella squealed. Us girls were crowded around my bed as I brushed my hair. I had just taken a shower and as soon as I stepped out, naked save for the towel, Ella grabbed me and shoved me onto the bed and demanded I tell her everything.
"How could we miss this!" Nudge and Ella wailed. "We've been waiting for ages!"
Lissa smirked. "Suckers!"
"Guys guys!" I rolled my eyes.
"We aren't guys." Angel pointed out.
"Waffles then. Okay waffles here is what happen-"
"Waffles?" Angel scrunched her nose.
"Ssh! And yes waffles. So, we were talking and stuff and I was thinking about the weather-"
Lissa snorted. "Be quiet!" Nudge hissed.
"-Aaaand he grabbed me, said he didn't want to be friends and I said, "what?" And then he was all like, "I want to be more then friends," or something and yeah, he kissed me." Lissa finished.
"Hey! That was my story!" I protested.
"Oh Max, now we have the luau to worry about." Nudge clapped her hands together.
"Huh?" I was still miffed about Lissa finishing the story. She had been close if she heard all that.
"Oh, you weren't here. While you guys were kissing," I shot Nudge a look. "Um, talking, mum said we are going to a luau on the twenty fourth."
"Two weeks away." Angel piped up.
"Yeah something like that, time doesn't matter in the summer. And Max," she turned to me and smiled evilly. "I have just the dress for you."
August 24 Friday
Fang POV
It's been two weeks since the kiss. All we have really done is eat shave ice, go to the beach and go shopping. I tried to be with Max when we go shopping, but the girls just whisk her away giggling about dresses for the luau.
As for me, I'm just wearing a cotton white shirt with brown shorts. Yup, that's me, Mr. Stylish.
I'm currently in my room, trying to comb my wild hair. I chuckled as I remembered the pink dye incident. And Max seeing me naked. Oops.
Iggy knocked on the door to the washroom. "You done in there? The mom's are rushing us."
"Yeah." I take one last look in the mirror and leave. That nagging feeling won't leave.
Ella POV
The first thing Fang notices is Nudge. She's dressed in a red Hawaiian dress with gold sandals. Then it's me, who's wearing a blue dress with white sandals and Lissa, who was wearing a purple dress with black sandals.
And then be sees Max. Like in all those cliché stories where the prince sees the princess last and is taken back by her beauty. Max's hair was left loose, We did it so it wouldn't take attention away from her dress. All that was in it was a gold headband with plumeria flowers on it. Her dress was white with halter straps, on her feet were gold sandals. We did her nails with gold crackle. Yessiree! We did a great job!
I see his mouth open slightly and his clamps it shut. He gulps and says, "you look beautiful." And takes her hand, where he leads a blushing Max into the van.
I look to my right and see Iggy. He walks towards me with a puzzled expression.
"What?" I ask.
"Max obviously was given the most time in her make over." He says slowly. "What about you and the other girls? Even her description was longer than yours!"
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Well, we've been trying to get them together for years, this is our victory moment." I shrug. "I don't care, I like seeing her happy. If Max is happy, we're happy. "
"Well, you don't need a lot of time on your make over. You're beautiful already. I mean, Max is too, I'm just trying to be roman-"
I kiss him softly then pull away with a smile. "I get it. Lets go to the van shall we?" He offers me his arm and I take it with a giggle.
Max POV
I honestly don't remember much of the night. I remember everything being outside, everyone given assigned tables under the sky. i remember eating pig, Angel cried when she saw the while pig speared through get set in fire. Well, cooked, but Angel likes to say it was set in fire, which it technically was but- oh never mind.
I remember seeing the hula dancers. I can recall the fire dancers and the flowers that were put through my hair.
I can remember shoving chocolate cake and lemon and cocoanut bars into my mouth, hey! I daintily wiped my mouth with my napkin after! Don't give me that appalled look the other tables gave me.
But what I remember most vividly? The couple's dance.
"Max! I want to be a fire eater when I grow up!" Gazzy said excitedly as we watched the dancers breathe fire.
"Sure Gaz." I ruffle his hair. After the dance ended, the hostess went up to the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed this evening so far, we are almost done." I looked up and noticed the sky was dark now and had stars scattered everywhere. Time flies when you're having fun I guess.
"If you're a regular, you will recall the couples dance." She smiled warmly and continued. "Anyone just married?"
A couple of couples stand up, all blushing, the ladies smiling.
"Great! What are your names?" They answer and she asks them when they were married and such. She then beckons them up to the stage, where they wait for other couples to come up I guess.
"Anyone here for their anniversary?" More people stand up and she asks them their names and again motions for them to come up.
"Anyone else a new couple? Found love in Maui?"
No one stands up. Except for Nudge and Lissa.
"Oh! A um a les-"
"Wait! We aren't dating!" Nudge hurriedly makes the stop sign with her hand. "My brother and my friend had their first kiss here! I mean, it's basically their third but what I mean is-"
"They're a new couple." Lissa sums up.
"Oh! Who are they?" She scans our table and lands in me and Fang. "I'm guessing the blonde and the black haired?"
Lissa nods and pushes us up, much to my protests. But they fell on deaf ears.
"What are you're names?" She asks.
"Well," a man comes up to us with a microphone like he did with the other couples. "I'm Max."
"And I'm Fang." About twenty girls sighed over him. I rolled my eyes.
"Where was your first kiss?" She asks.
"Grade t-"
"At the pool behind our hotel." I hurriedly say. Fang just mumbles an oops.
"Aw!" She cooes. "When do you guys fall in love?"
"I've loved her since second grade." Fang says confidently.
Just about everyone swoons from how romantic it sounds. "Well, you know what to do! Come on up!" She calls.
We go up with the other couples and the mariachi band play a slow, but happy sounding song. Fang grabs my waist and I don't know where to put my hands.
I look around and see the girls putting their hands around their man's necks. I do the same and we start to sway.
"Second grade?" I ask. "That long?"
"Maybe it wasn't clear then," he says, "but I think deep down I always did."
I practically melt from how sweet that sounds. See what he can do? Makes me, Maximum Martinez into a puddle of Max goo. and I'm supposed to be bad ass!
"Same." I whisper so not romantically. I look out from the stage and see others dancing on the ground. I see Ella and Iggy together, Ella gives me a thumbs up. Lissa just gives me a smile.
"This is a great happy ending." I lay my head on his chest, wondering why I feel him stiffen at those words.
