The One (sequel)

Chapter 4

"Look at you, sitting up on your own." Dylan said happily to Ben." Max I think he finally mastered it.

"He did?" I put my magazine down and saw Ben sitting straight up, with the proudest look on his face.

"Six months old." Dylan said as he recorded Ben sitting. He put his camera down and looked at me," hey by the way, now that he is six months old he can start baby food."

"He can?" I looked at him.

"Yeah you wanna try some, maybe we will start with squash?" He smiled.

"Okay, go ahead." I looked at my magazine again.

Suddenly Nudge and Angel showed up.
"Hey guys, mind taking Ben for a little while?" He handed Ben to Nudge.

"No problem." She smiled as they took Ben and flew off.

"What is up with you?" Dylan asked irritated.

"What're you talking about?" I gave him the attitude back.

"You are like completely uninterested in Ben. Look just because this whole Fang thing has hurt you, a lot, and you are angry about the whole thing, you don't have to punish Ben!" His words hurt.

"You-" I exhaled, slamming the magazine on my lap," I don't, nobody-" I stuttered like crazy, not sure what to say.

"Everybody understands Max!" He sat next to me," you just need to tell us, me. I'm always here for you Max." He hesitantly touched my hand. Seeing that I wasn't going to reject him he put his hand on top of mine." I'm here." He said softly.

We sat in silence for a long time. I looked down at Dylan's hand that was placed on mine. I then steadily turned my hand over and allowed him to actually hold my hand. I felt him tense up nervously, then relax. I couldn't believe how my fingers fit perfectly between his, how his fingers fit perfectly between mine. This was nice, it felt good, it felt right. It had been a long time since I've held anyone's hand besides Ben's. He then slowly placed his other hand on both of ours. My god he was so warm, it was very welcoming. I copied his movement and placed my hand onto his hand.

We were both looking at our hands, then we slowly looked up at each other. Our faces were only a foot apart. I looked into his blue eyes, his caring, loving blue eyes. Then it happened, we both inched in, and softly pressed our lips together, closing our eyes, falling into the kiss. Our lips felt like they fit perfectly together, they felt like they were meant to touch.

Then it turned into more then a kiss, our lips were dancing in unison. He placed his hand under my jawline, I put my hand behind his neck firmly, not wanting him to break away from me. He started leaning into me, making me sink back into the couch.

Nudge and Angel stomped into the room, and we quickly pulled apart. Dylan pulled my eyelid open.

"Nope I don't see anything, you should go rinse it out." Dylan said getting off of me, and standing to his feet to take Ben from Nudge." Let's go take a bath buddy." He left.

The three of us stood in awkward silence. Not sure what to say, if we should even say anything," well, see you guys, I'm gonna go see if Dylan needs help." I hopped up.

"Max, it's okay." Angel spoke.

"We're happy for you." Nudge spoke reassuringly," it's about time it finally happened." She laughed, and they flew off.

Great, they knew..
