Family?

Rubbing my eyes I stare up at the familiar ceiling of my bedroom. When did I get here? When did I even fall asleep? Noticing something holding me down, I look to my side studying Max's peaceful sleeping face. Wait, we slept together again??? My face started to heat up as I heard him groan next to me. Wiggling a bit he pulls me closer, his breath caressing my cheek.

"Don't move I need a few more minutes" his husky voice croaks in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"Max what happened in the car before we got home yesterday?" I whisper.

"Which part of the trip our embarrassing make out session or you snoring most of the ride home?" He laughs causing me to smack his shoulder.

"I do not snore!"

"Sure you don't princess"

"I don't!" I yell pushing my way out of his grip. Only to get pulled back in again.

"I'm sorry princess I won't bring up your snoring again" he whispers, smiling as if holding in a laugh. Sighing I look away from him trying to distract myself.

"Wait Max how are my sisters?"

"Oh yes I was going to ask you if you wanted to visit them but you fell asleep so fast in the car I forgot."

"Can we go?"

"Hmm I don't know what's in it for me" he whispers, showing a rather seductive smile, before leaning in and nibbling on my ear. I let out a gasp from the shivers running down my body.

"Wha-what do you want?"

"You" he says, planting a kiss on my neck.

"But..." I trail off thinking about what to say in this situation my heart feels like it's about to explode.

"Amelia? What's wrong?" he panics sitting up searching my eyes. I stare at him feeling so many emotions at once. I'm really falling hard for this man. I smile to myself staring up at him wanting him to hold me in his arms and never let go.

"I already am all yours" I whisper sitting up inches from his lips "and I always will be because I...." I don't finish as he crashes his lips on mine warmth radiating from my body craving for more warmth. My hands glade down his broad shoulders pulling him closer.

"Amelia" he whispers, breaking the kiss leaning his forehead on mine our breaths ragged. "We should stop if you want to see your sisters today."

"Yes I want to see them!!" I say getting excited. Scooting off the bed I quickly grab some nice clothing to throw on. Turning to head to the bathroom I spot Max still on my bed. "Are you not getting up???"

"I uh yeah was waiting for you to leave so I could use the bathroom" he says looking down at himself.

"What?? Come on get up" I shout pulling on his hand.

"No Amelia I really shouldn't"

"What has got into you"

"I can't control it!"

"Can't control what????"

"Nothing.." he says, placing his head in his hands.

"I'm not a child!!" I yell pulling him off the bed with all my strength, stumbling down in the process. I hiss as pain runs from my tailbone through my spine.

"Amelia, are you okay?" he says looking up at me.

"Yeah I'm fine. I only hit my..." I pause feeling something hard pushing on my leg. Looking down I pause some many things running through my mind.

"Amelia it's not what it looks like!!"

"It looks like you have a bulge under your shorts" I laugh.

"Wha-what it's not funny" he says causing me to laugh harder.

"I'm sorry but that's why you wouldn't get out of bed?"

"Possibly..." he says scooting away from me.

"You moron these things happen, what did you think I would hate you?"

"I don't know I just don't want you to think I'm creepy Amelia I am 21 and you're 17....."

"Max I don't find you the least bit creepy and also don't think you're the only one whose body gets excited when we are near each other....."

"I uh..."

"You dummy" I laugh, hugging him tightly.

"You-your the dummy" he says blushing.

"Fine fine I'm the dummy now come on we got to get ready." I say pushing him out the door. Quickly I threw on the clothing I picked out before combing my hair and brushing my teeth. Moving down the hallway I listen to the shower running. He must still be in the shower? Opening up his bedroom door I creep in hearing the shower running in the bathroom. Walking through his room something catches my eye. Whipping my head around I stare at a painting of a girl with blue eyes and brown hair staring at something with so much love in her eyes. Tracing my finger over the girl's face I start to think she resembles me a bit. I jump at the sound of the bathroom door opening shit shit shit. Looking out into his room I spot him moving toward his dresser wearing only a towel. I start to blush as I watch the water drip from his hair down his muscular torso only to disappear once hitting the towel. He moves a little out of view causing me to lean forward a bit to get a better view. My foot catches the easel sending me falling to the ground. "Shit" I yell as pain shoots through my arms which caught most of the blow.

"Amelia" Max yells, rushing over to me.

"I- uh was waiting for you and then I saw this painting..."

"You weren't peeping on me were you" he questions smiling.

"Yo-you wish!" I shout before my eyes land on his still half naked body inches from me.

"You sure?"

"Of course I'm sure" I yell looking away from his body and to his eyes instead. I watch the water drip from his wet hair. Swallowing hard I look to my right before pushing myself up.

"Are you sure you're okay"

"Yes I'm fine now I'm gonna wait in the car for you" I mumble out rushing to the door. Once at the elevator I sigh as I descend to the garage. I step out as the elevator dings moving straight to the car. Leaning back in the passenger seat I notice a folded up piece of paper shoved between my seat. Pulling it out I go to open it but stop when I see Max coming. Shoving it into my purse I smile at him as he slides into the drivers side. Pulling out of the garage we go down a couple of streets until we pull up to a nice house.

"We're here"

"They live here?" I say confused. This house was huge!

"Yes" is all he says as he helps me out of the car. Walking into the house we are met with a living area full of girls all different ages. They all turn to look at us with excitement all over their faces.

"Thank you so much for saving us" Allie says, first jumping up to hug me. I look around at each girl nodding their heads in agreement.

"I'm sorry about the fire you got hurt because of me" the 8 year old says tugging on my skirt. Kneeling down I hug her.

"What's your name?"

"Lu"

"Well Lu you did nothing wrong and everyone is safe and sound no one blames you for anything. In fact I'm glad you are all safe."

"So are we all a family now?" she questions. Looking at everyone's faces a smile grows on my face.

"Yes of course we are a family!" I shout pumping my fist into the air like a child. Suddenly being pulled up from the ground I fall into Max's arms.

"Am I included in this family" he whispers near my ear. Turning to face him I kiss his cheek.

"I hope you will always be a part of my family" I whisper, hugging him close.
