Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.

Max POV

We stayed at the arcade for a few hours then headed back to the girls' house. The drive home was very eventful. We told jokes and sang the music playing on the radio, not even stopping when we passed a police car.

"I think we should play Twister!" Angel suggested later that night after we had gone home.

"No, let's play Monopoly!" Ella said.

"I don't want to play Monopoly! Max made me cry last time we played that!" Iggy whined. We all looked at him and burst out laughing.

"Max…made you…..cry?" Gazzy said wheezing.

"She made you cry when we went up in the ferris wheel and she rocked back and forth!" Iggy defended himself. We all started to crack up again.

"MAX!" Iggy and Gazzy both glared at me.

"What?! It's not my fault you two are total wimps!" I said. "Let's just play Twister."

After getting out the Twister mat we decided that Angel would be the spinner. The game was a mix of limbs and laughter. I was in a crab walk position on the bottom under Fang who was facing me. Iggy's arms gave out and he fell leaving just Fang and I.

"You're going down, Martinez." Fang said an inch above my face.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that, Ride." I said and gave him a small half smile.

"Oh, really?" He said with similar half smile.

"Right hand red," Angel told Fang. The red was on the other side of Fang. As his hand was about to cross my body his other arm gave out and he fell on top of me. Not being able to support his weight along with mine we both fell. Laughing, he picked himself up on his elbows, hovering over me.

"You gonna move anytime soon?" I asked trying to find escape.

"Nah, I like this position." He said with a smirk on his face. By "position" he meant him practically laying on top of me.

I squirmed under him while he chuckled at me. I gave up after awhile of squirming. I glared up at Fang as he smirked down at me.

"What do you want, Fang?"

"Nothing, I just like looking at you."

"AWWWWW!" Angel, Nudge, and Ella said from the background.

"Well, you got your look now let me up." He got up and held his hand out for me, but he pulled with a little more force than I expected and I bumped into his chest. He smiled down at me and pecked my lips then let me go. I walked over to the others.

Everyone was tired after a couple hours of playing games so we settled in to watch a movie. After careful debate, we decided on watching The Hunger Games. (A/N I freaking love that book!) Ella and Iggy shared the loveseat, Nudge and Gazzy sat on the couch, and Fang and I curled up on the floor.

The movie ended and my head was leaning against Fang's shoulder seeming to weigh 10 pounds. My eyelids felt heavy and my limbs like Jell-o.

"You tired?" Fang's deep voice said with an edge of amusement. I nodded and he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me onto his lap. I snuggled deeper into him. He stroked my hair and I was having trouble keeping my eyelids open. I finally closed them and a few minutes later I was asleep.

I woke up the next morning and snuggled deeper into the pillow. When I felt the pillow move I opened my eyes. My head was buried deep into Fang's shoulder and our arms were wrapped around each other. Normally I would have moved away mortified by this display of affection, but instead I smiled and gripped Fang tighter. His warm breath blew on the top of my head.

"You're beautiful when you smile." I felt Fang's chest rumble as he said it.

"You're not too shabby yourself." I said looking up at him. He chuckled and opened his eyes to look at me. From this close up I could see little flecks of gold standing out in his dark orbs. I pecked him before getting up.

He looked up at me like I was crazy and pulled me back down onto his lap. I laughed at him and got up, holding out my hands. He took them. Everyone else was still asleep so we went to the kitchen to cook breakfast. I sat on the counter while Fang made scrambled eggs. I watched intently as his strong hands broke the delicate shell of the egg.

Iggy walked in a few minutes later looking tired and rumpled. He groggily opened his eyes and looked from me to Fang to the pan of frying eggs. Turning around he said over his shoulder, "Get me when breakfast is ready or when Max blows something up." I glared at his back while Fang chuckled.

"It's OK, Maxie. I got it." Fang teased me.

"Shut up." I said and hopped off the counter.

It took about 10 minutes but everyone got up. I had just finished brushing my teeth when I walked into the living room to see Ella, Nudge, and Angel whispering amongst themselves. They stopped when I sat on the couch. I eyed them suspiciously then turned on the TV. Ahhhh... Nothing like Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory to start the day. It was the Cheeseballers episode.

"Breakfast!" Gazzy called from the dining room. Slowly we all made it to the table. Fang had saved a seat for me next to him. After we all were at the table we dug into the array of food. There were eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, and pancakes. My plate was a heaping mound of food.

"Jesus, Max. Save some for the rest of us." Gazzy said. I rolled my eyes and shoveled food into my mouth.

"Gross." Angel said witnessing my display.

"ZOMG, Max! You can't just shove food in your mouth! It's not lady like! Especially not in front of your boyfriend. That's just wrong. I mean I know it's how you are and all, but really? I've seen starving kids in Africa with more table manners than you. Take on-" Ella slapped a hand over Nudge's mouth.

"Her point is to be more polite." Ella stated. I rolled my eyes but sat up straighter and ate slower.

When breakfast was over we decided that today we would go to the pool. Me, being Max, forgot to bring a swimsuit with me.

"Uhh, guys? I don't have a swimsuit."

"Oh! That's OK Max. Angel, me, and Ella have some you can borrow." Nudge said, smiling just a smidge too sweetly. I'm doomed.

"NO." I said from inside the bathroom.

"But Max! It's so cute! You have to wear it!" Angel whined from the other side of the door.

"At least let us see it Max." Ella said. "PLEAAASSEEE?" I groaned and wrapped a towel around myself. I opened the door to the bathroom and glared at Nudge and the girls while I slowly unwrapped the towel.

"ZOMG! MAX IT'S SO CUTE!" Nudge squealed. I quickly wrapped the towel back around myself while they dragged me out of Ella's room.

The guys were all standing by the door ready to go. They forced me into a car and we all drove to the pool. When we arrived I got out of the car and immediately went and sat on a lounge chair.

"Aww, come on Max don't be a party pooper!" Angel whined. I sat there in answer.

"Max. I really want to see your swimsuit." Fang said. I shook my head. He shrugged and went over to another chair to set his stuff down. Everyone else was already in the water. Fang took of his black shirt to reveal a perfectly toned six-pack. My mouth nearly dropped open but I kept staring straight ahead.

"Suit yourself." He said before diving in.

"CHICKEN!" Iggy called from the water. Big. Mistake.

"FINE!" I threw off my towel and took my flip flops off. I turned to head into the water but stopped when I saw all the guys' mouths had dropped open.

Fang POV

Max threw her towel on the chair and I nearly lost my cool. She wore a black and white horizontal striped bikini. Her smooth tan skin was glistening in the sun. She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen in my life. I jumped out of the pool and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her in with me. When we came back up she turned and smiled at me. "Hey," she said. I pulled her closer and whispered "Wow," in her ear. She turned red and smiled nervously. I let her go and we hung out in the pool for awhile.

Max POV

"MARCO!" Iggy yelled.

"POLO" Said everyone else scattering like mice from a cat.

"Got you!" Iggy shouted opening his eyes. A look of pure horror passed his face as he realized he had a grip on an elderly lady's arm. He quickly let go and spluttered "S-s-sorry, ma'am. I didn't know you were-OW!" The lady smacked Iggy upside the head and stalked off through the water. We all started cracking up while Iggy grumbled that he was done playing.

We stayed for another hour before leaving to go to the girls' apartment.

"I'm gonna head home, guys." Fang said.

"OK, bye!" everyone yelled after him. I got up and walked him to the front door.

"Thank you." I said.

"For what?" He asked.

"Everything," I answered and kissed him. His hands went up to the back of my head and he turned his head to the side a little to get closer. We broke apart and I smiled at him. I closed the door after he left and walked toward the living room oblivious to what was about to happen.

A/N MWAHAHA! Cliffhanger! Sorry, for not updating in forever.
