Chapter 3

Phoebe POV

"We can't be together Max, I mean we're brother and sister. It is just wrong," I said.

"And what is wrong about being wrong?" he asked as I saw a smirk coming.

"Max!" I whisper a little louder. He is being immature all of a sudden.

"I'm serious Phoebe," he said letting go of my hand. "Think about it, eventually you will come around," he said as he turned around and walked to his bed. I just sigh and left Max's lair. I won't win this argument just yet I thought for myself.

1 Hour Later

When I walked into the living room, I saw Billy and Nora gathering beach equipment. I raised an eyebrow at them, wondering what they are up to because they are always doing something they're not supposed to.

"Guys, what are you doing?" I asked as I crossed my arms stepping in front of them. Nora tried to move pass me, but I was quick on my feet and step in front of her

"We're going to the beach Phoebe," Nora answered feeling annoyed

"Said who?" I asked arching an eyebrow.

"Said mwah," Mom answered as she came down the stairs along with Dad carrying surfboards and beach chairs

"Go and let Max know we're going to the beach Phoebe," Mom added as she put down the sunscreen lotion into her bag.

"Why do I have to tell him?" I whined.

"Cause he's your twin brother," Dad said as he put down the surfboards and beach chairs at the door.

"Can't Billy and Nora do it?" I asked as I point my finger towards them. "I have to uhm… pack some things for this beach trip," I lied through my teeth. I wasn't really going to pack some things, I just don't wanna go to Max's lair again. After what he said to me, I need some time alone and I don't know how I'm going to avoid him at the beach. Why does life have to be so complicated?

Billy and Nora shrugged, heading their way to Max's lair. They decided to use the slide, because in their opinion it's more fun than using a door. I can't really argue with them, a slide is more fun than a door, right?

I went upstairs to gather my beach towel and yellow bikini. I really don't want to go to the beach, but at least we are doing something normal, our lives in Metroberg were tough, we weren't allowed to do normal stuff like going to the mall, or the beach, or even to restaurants.

I look in the mirror, putting my hair into a messy bun. I grab my beach stuff and went downstairs.

At the Beach

We arrived at the beach, the sun was shining down on the sea, kids were screaming running up and down. I smiled, I love seeing kids run and smile and enjoying their normal life. Max lift his finger up, making the kids trip by using his levitation powers.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"You know we're not supposed to use our powers," I whispered. He just rolled his eyes and shook his head as we made our way to our spot on the beach.

I decided to sunbath a little, I never had the chance to do it. I lay down my towel on the sand, grabbing my sunscreen from my bag.

"Mom, can you put sunscreen on my back?" I asked.

"I will do it," Max said as he grabbed the sunscreen out of my hand. I bit my lower lip, wondering if I should trust Max. I really don't want Max to rub sunscreen on me, mostly because of our moment back in the lair, but I can't make a scene in front of our parents. I don't want them to know that something is wrong between us.

I winced at the sudden cold hand on my back rubbing sunscreen lotion in circular motions. Max chuckled, continuing his action. I relaxed a little. I could feel his fingertips rubbing circles all around my back. God it felt magical, like I never want him to stop.

Nora POV

"Max is acting strange," I said to Billy who was pulling out his beach towel.

"What do you mean Nora?" he asked as he put his beach towel down on the sand.

"Look Billy, can't you see it?" I asked as I point my finger towards Max.

Billy look over to Max and Phoebe, I could see his face turning into confusion.

"See?"

"Yeah I see it, maybe he's just being friendly," Billy said.

I rolled my eyes, this isn't over yet, I wanna know what's going on between them and I'm gonna find out soon. For now I'm going to enjoy my day at the beach.

"Last one in the sea is a turtle," I yelled as I ran towards the sea in my flip flops.

"Wait for me!" I hear Billy yell behind me as he try to catch up.

Phoebe POV

After quite some time, Max was done rubbing sunscreen on my back, he shoved the sunscreen into my hands. I raised an eyebrow but before I could speak, he took his shirt off throwing it to the ground. He turned his back towards me, I sigh as I squeezed sunscreen into my hands and start to rub him. I did it as quickly as possible looking at the view of the beach. I didn't want to look at his muscles, I'm afraid I will lose myself again.

I put the sunscreen away, laying down on my towel. Max decided to lay next to me, and when I say next to me, I mean he's literally on me. His arms is above mine, he was about to intertwine our hands together, but luckily I pulled away quickly. Nora and Billy were long gone at least. They couldn't wait to get into the salty water. Mom and Dad decided to take a walk along the beach.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I shift to the side.

"Nothing," he said innocently shifting his body next to mine again.

"Move to the other side Max!" I yelled.

"Don't want to," he said as he smirked at me. I glared at him deciding to stood up and take a walk alongside the beach.

Finally I was alone, I look behind me just to make sure I'm alone and Max isn't following me. And that's when I found myself bumping into someone, I fell on the ground feeling sand grains all over my body now.

"Shit!" I scowled as I was trying to wipe off the sand grains off my arms.

"Are you trying to get away from me?" Max asked as he held a hand out. I ignored his question and hand, standing up by myself and walking away.

"Come on Pheebs, you know you can't resist me," he said as he catch up to me. I rolled my eyes, he is so immature and invading my personal space.

"Max leave me alone," I growled at Max, but he grabbed my wrist pulling me close to him. I managed to shove him away, continuing my walk alongside the beach feeling very angry.

"Phoebe wait," he said as he grabbed my wrist again. I tried to pull away, but his grip was much stronger than before.

"What Max! Are you going to seduce me again?" I scowled. Before I wanted to say anything else, I realised everyone was looking at us. I felt a hand intertwine with mine, pulling me away from the crowd. I could kick myself right now, I can't believe I said that, how embarrassing! It is all Max's fault anyway, he is making me saying these things. It's that stupid moment we had in his lair, ugh I wish I can forget about it and just move on.

Max POV

"Well that wasn't very clever of you to say that in front of a crowd," I said as I pulled her away from the crowd into a bar.

"It's all your fault," she defended herself.

"How is it my fault?" I asked.

"You keep following me around," she said as she pulled away from my grip. "Why can't you leave me alone Max, why? Ever since this morning you… you ugh I can't think clearly when you are around," she said in an angry tone.

"So it's working?" I smirked which made Phoebe uncomfortable.

"What?" she hissed.

"The pressure is getting to you, you feel the same way about me, but you don't wanna admit it."

"Don't be ridiculous Max, I would never ever feel the same way, not in a million years," she said turning around to walk away.

"You come around," I said leaning against the counter. She froze in her tracks, turning around glaring at me. I could see she wanted to say something, but she couldn't manage to find the right words. She turned around, walking out of the bar.

"One martini please," I waved at the bartender who was a young man in his mid-twenties. I smirked at the way how I was handling the situation. Phoebe was all tensed up, soon she will snap and admit she has feelings for me.
