Fang POV

Lissa was seething. I glanced at Max to see her looking as confused as I felt.

"Don't act all innocent!" Lissa hissed.

"Lissa, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about." Max said slowly.

"Oh, really? How about this!" Lissa held out her phone. On it was a picture message from her annoying friend, Brigid. It looked like it was taken through a window. It was of me with my arm draped around Max in Subway.

"Oh, that's nothing." Max said waving her hand dismissively.

"Nothing? Oh, puh-lease! Fang has been acting weird ever since he met you!"

"Lissa," I spoke up, "It really was nothing."

"Whatever, Fang. We're through."

"Okay," I said.

I expected to feel something, but instead I felt only one thing: relief.

"I break up with you and you say 'okay'?" Lissa spat at me.

"Lissa isn't used to rejection, being the slut she is." Max said to me but looked at Lissa.

"You should just shut the fuck up, Martinez!" Lissa yelled.

"Lissa, calm down! Nothing happened!" I said standing up.

"Don't talk to me, Fang!" she said slamming her bedroom door. I just stood there not knowing what to do.

"I'm really sorry, Fang." This is all my fault. She wouldn't have-" Max began.

"Don't. I'm actually glad we broke up. She wasn't really my type." I said looking at Max. She smiled up at me and my heart skipped a beat. I smiled back, which I never do."

"Umm…" Max said, looking down, "Do you think I could maybe stay at your place tonight?" she asked.

"Sure, I've got room."

"Thanks, I just don't want to deal with the wrath of Lissa." I nodded in understanding. I cleaned up the Chinese food while she grabbed her stuff.

Max POV

I went to my room and grabbed a purple backpack. I shoved a pair of jeans and a T-shirt in my bag. I grabbed a pair of converse and put them in too. Shoving my feet in some ugg boots, I walked to the bathroom and grabbed my tooth and hair brushes.

"Ready," I said walking out into the living room.

I sat in the passenger seat of Fang's car. He drove a black (shocking, I know), beat up, truck. We drove in a comfortable silence to his apartment. When we arrived at his complex, I realized it wasn't that far from where Ella lived. He showed me to his place and held the door open for me like a gentleman.

"Well, thank you." I said walking into his apartment. It was a nice place. I walked over to the couch, slipped off my uggs, and laid down.

"What're you doing?" Fang asked.

"Going to sleep," I said with a 'duh' look on my face.

"No you're not. You're going to sleep in my bed while I sleep out here." He explained.

"Fang, I'm fine sleeping out here."

"Max, you're not sleeping out here."

Me, being the stubborn person I am, laid down my head on the arm rest and closed my eyes.

"Night, Fang." I said, eyes still closed. I squealed when I felt myself being picked up. Fang, had slung me over his shoulder and was carrying me to his room.

"Fang! Put me down!" I yelled while hitting his back.

"No." he said. He walked into his room and plopped me down on the bed. He smirked while I glared at him.

"Night, Max." he said while walking out of the room.

Rolling my eyes, I looked around the room. Everything was….black. I climbed under the covers and laid my head down on the pillow. It smelled like that Axe stuff guys use, but it also had a different smell. It smelled like….Fang. There wasn't another word to describe it. It was warm and comforting. I fell asleep feeling safe.

I woke up the next morning feeling happy. Then I noticed I wasn't in my bed. I sat straight up, then the memories came flooding back to me. I slept at Fang's house last night. I remembered. I slipped out of bed and walked silently to the living room. Fang was asleep on the couch. He looked peaceful so I didn't disturb him.

I walked into the kitchen looking for the cereal. After about 2 minutes of searching, I let out an annoyed huff.

"Need help?" I heard behind me. I jumped and spun around. Fan was leaning against the doorway.

"Do you own any breakfast?" I asked him. He chuckled and pointed to a cabinet above the fridge that I hadn't checked yet. "Whatever," I mumbled and grabbed the cereal. He chuckled and took out 2 bowls and some milk. He slept in his T-shirt and jeans. His black hair was rumpled but still gorgeous. I looked away and blushed at the thought.

After eating our cereal, I walked to the couch and sat down. I made a grab for the remote but Fang sat next to me and beat me to it. I shot a glare at him and he smirked. He was switching through the channels for something to watch when something caught my eye. "Stop! I wanna watch Spongebob!" I said. He gave me a look as if to say "What the…" but turned on Spongebob. It was the episode where Squidward travels through time. "Future, Future, future…" I laughed and looked at Fang. He was shaking his head but smiling.

My cell phone rang and I answered. (Max, Iggy)

"Hello?"

"Max, where are you?"

"Hey, Iggs. What do you mean?"

"We're celebrating Nudge's birthday in the park, remember?"

"Oh, Man! Totally forgot! I'll be there in a bit! Tell Nudge I'm sorry!" I hung up and saw Fang looking at me with a confused expression. "My friend Nudge's birthday is tomorrow and we were gonna celebrate it in the park today." I explained.

"I can drive you." He said.

"Thanks!" I said and unexpectedly wrapped him in a hug. He stiffened, but hugged back after a second. I released him and went to my bag to grab my clothes.

10 minutes later we were in the car on the way to the park. When we arrived, we both got out and headed to the table where everything was set up. I sat my gift on the table and said sorry to everyone for being late. "Thanks for driving me, Fang."

"No problem," he said turning around.

"What?! You can't go, Fang! The party would be so boring without another person here to celebrate it! Please stay! I bet Max would want that too! And everyone else but especially Max cause she seems to like you a lot, not that we don't think you're awesome, but you could use another color for your wardrobe. Anyway, that's not the point-" I slapped a hand over Nudge's mouth before she could say any other preposterous things.

"Okay, I'll stay, but only for Maxie." Fang said with a smirk. I glared at him and took my hand off Nudge's mouth.

"Yay!" Nudge and Ella gave each other a glance. That made me suspicious but I shrugged it off.

After the party Fang drove me back to my dorm. He walked me to the door. "Thank you, for letting me stay at your house last night, and driving me to the party." I said.

"Your welcome. Anytime." Before I could stop myself I leaned in and kissed his cheek. Shocked still, I opened my door and closed it behind me. My lips tingled. Woah. I thought.
