Maximum Ride's Big Chase

Part 16

Max's POV:

It's been a month since JJs party. I've forgiven Fang, and we're still happily dating. He had explained what happened that day with that girl.

He had been drinking and was drunk, and she had taken advantage of him. Kissing him, he was to out of it to realize what he was doing.

He still doesn't remember how he had gotten home though. Which worried me at first, but I got over it. What's done is done. I can't go back and change it.

Fang had found the note in the trash can two days after I had thrown it away. I don't want to know how, but he did.

He wasn't as made as I thought he would be at me for not telling him about it. He asked me when I found it and I told him after the party.

Then he had asked what the J stood for, assuming I knew, which I did. I reluctantly told him I thought was from Jeb.

He took that news well too. Just taking a deep breath, then hugging me. He didn't ask me why I hadn't told him, which I was thankful for.

We haven't found any leads to The Moth, but there hasn't been any more murders, so that was a win on our side.

Iggy had somehow figured out how to contact us without being traced, leave it to him to do something like that.

The first thing he had said to us was:
It's Iggy, I'll explain how I can talk to y'all later XD how's life living with each other? Have y'all.. you know... done it yet??? WAIT DON'T ANDWER THAT! Oh and Max, you mom, Ella, and Nudge came to visit, we explained to them that y'all are undercover, don't worry, they won't tell anyone. Your sisters H O T, mind if I date her?

And let me tell you, when I heard Iggy,  the sexist pig, was crushing on my sister, I flipped, but after a day or so, and being able to text Ella through Iggy's phone. I gave him the all clear to try to go after her.

She was one tough cookie to get. Mmm cookies... I want some now... I should get Fang to make some. Yeah.

"Fang!" I hollered from the living room,"Can you make me cookies?" This is an important matter at hand here.

He calmly walked into the living room and gave me a 'really' look," I made you cookies yesterday..." I smiled sheepishly," oh yeah."

I jumped up, headed towards the kitchen, and found the cookies in a container on the counter.

Grabbing a hand full then shoving two in my mouth I asked Fang," so... what are we gonna do today?"

He thought about it for a moment the smirked," it's a surprise."

I huffed, then shoved another cookie in my mouth," but you know I hate surprises... or did you forget."

"I remember, that's why I'm making it a surprise. It'll make it more fun" he winked at me.

This..... this... ughhh I don't know. I'm not going to stop bugging him until he tells me. Then again he's just as stubborn as me, maybe even more when push comes to shove.

I say the remaining cookies I had in my hand down, taking my time to put them on a napkin. Then walked up to Fang and kissed him.

I know I know. Max... your kissing Fang to get him to tell you? Yes, yes I am, it's the only thing I can think of.

I felt Fang smirk into the kiss, so I pulled back," what's so funny?" I demanded.
