I am still not over that there was finally an MCxMax date. Half a year ago, way before HWU i guess there was just two of us who ships Max with their MC’s. Months passed, the fandom grew thanks to HWU, and now Fantasy booth was introduced for HSS thanks to the wildly popular Amor in HWU.
So yay! Omigod you listened PB!! Hoping that the dating feature in HWU finally arrives and that the summer update arrives to ios. More power to you PB and more years to come.
Here is my answer to Pixelberry’s latest quests.
timeline : Level 30 (Expelled) sort of spoilerish
song inspiration : Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor
word count : 1933 words
ship : Elyon Darcy and Max Warren (What if they finally got together?)
Nana and Adelaide giggled as they secretly took a peek from the open halls of the parlour.
They were watching as their young master, Max Warren was seated in the sofa and cuddling his new red head girlfriend. The lovely red head was engrossed in typing their project with the netbook on her lap while Max had one arm over her shoulder and his the other was gently playing with her hair.
“She is so beautiful Nana! And so kind! Not unlike the previous red head! And those others he kept bringing here! She has a different effect on him doesn’t she? When he is with her… he is suddenly calm and gentle as well. But isn’t she Mr. Warren’s ex-girlfriend’s niece? ” whispered Adelaide the cook.
“Yes. That’s how they have met years ago. That’s why the young master doesn’t want us to rat him out to his father. Things are still very complicated between their families.” Replied Nana.
Mr. Warren was away for the night because he was busy preparing for a charity event at a country club the next day.
“Of course I won’t Nana. I have never seen the young master so happy like this before. And she is very kind to us as well. I’d like to keep it that way.” Agreed the cook.
Nana then turned her attention to the young couple. She has been in the service of the Warren family for so long. She was there since Max’s father has taken his first steps up until he got married and had children of his own.
“Aren’t you supposed to be making dinner Adelaide?” asked a deep voice.
The two jerked from their position and turned to see the tall butler Elton and their other young master, Mia standing behind them.
Mia tapped her foot and raised her brow.
Adelaide bowed down profusely.
“I just need a few more things my lady. It will be ready soon.” Said Adelaide as she rushed back to the kitchen. Elton turned to his wrist watch then shook his head and walked away while Nana turned to Mia.
“Welcome home my lady. How was cheer practice? My apologies my lady. We were just so excited to finally meet the young master’s new girlfriend.” Started Nana.
Mia cringed a little. She still couldn’t believe that Max and Elyon were finally official. She was still trying to get used to it. A couple of months ago, her best friend Elyon was plagued with tragedies. Her grandfather died. Her mom and aunts had a car accident that led them to temporarily lose control of the school and Elyon and some of her friends were expelled from their school because of some contraband fireworks. After that Elyon and Julian transferred to Hearst High and since then Max seemed to have started pursuing her. Mia was so shocked one afternoon when Elyon and Max arrived as dates when she held a pool party a month ago. She couldn’t believe that Elyon would even consider dating her brother who was making all their lives miserable during the past year. But here they were now, cuddling at their house.
“The young master looks so happy. It kind of reminds me when the young master was on high school days too.” Whispered Nana.
“Those days before dad had me and Max and he was forced to marry mom?” cut off Mia.
Mia sighed. She thought about her parents. Her dad met her mom at an auction back at college. They hit it off and her mom became pregnant. The two quickly had a grand wedding so as not to taint the Warren name. Things never worked out between her parents. Dad focused on the Warren Empire and gave little thought of his family, except probably on pushing his children to be the best of everything. Max was the golden child, the achiever, while Mia felt like she was a failure. Her parents’ marriage on the other hand ended in a divorce. When her dad was said to be dating this woman whom Nana mentioned was their dad’s first love, Mia was disgusted. She did all she could to avoid this mysterious woman. She thought that the woman was the reason why her dad and her mom never worked out. Nana would always think so highly of this woman and she’d hear her mention to the other helps that this woman was the only one who could calm the master down. When her dad and that woman broke up, Mia was relieved. The next thing she knew was this woman and her sisters built a school that rivalled the school the Warrens owned.
“I’m sorry my lady. That’s not what I meant.” Apologized Nana.
Mia took a peek at the parlour.
“You know, you look really good in Hearst’s school uniform. The green makes your red hair pop and it matches your eyes.” Muttered Max.
Elyon laughed as she closed the netbook and placed it in the coffee table.
“Seriously?” she said as she playfully whacked his arm.
“Sorry Red, but I’m made of pure muscle.” He teased as he flexed his arms.
“Well you’re going to need it because you’ll be going to football camp for a week.” Retorted Elyon.
“A week without me. How will you ever survive Hearst?” he continued to tease as he gestured as if he was in distress. Elyon simply wrapped her hands around his neck.
“I can manage that. Don’t worry. I’ve been thwarting all your sabotages against my school back then. Besides, Kara is on my side.Who else should I fear? That glee girl who has the hots for you? Lacey?” she enumerated as she gazed at Max’s blue eyes intensely.
Max couldn’t help but grin.
“That’s my girl.” He said as Elyon crawled on his lap and started nibbling on his neck.
“Oh my god!” gasped Mia all of a sudden.
She wasn’t prepared to see that. Yes they were official. But from Max messing their school and to see them messing around like this was very very weird for her.
Elyon quickly got of Max and turned to the Mia who entered the parlour.
“God no! I didn’t mean to pry! I mean! Um… awkward…” stammered Mia as Elyon simply laughed and rushed to Mia.
“It’s been sooo long! Mia! How are you? How was school there while I was gone?” Elyon shrieked as she gave Mia a tight hug. As Elyon hugged Mia, Mia saw from a corner of her eye that Max was glaring at her from the couch. He was grumbling and was obviously annoyed at Mia’s intrusion.
“When is the next band practice? I miss everyone. How are the others who transferred at Athena Academy?” Continued Elyon as she broke off from Mia.
“Next week since you and I will be attending my dad’s charity event tomorrow. Don’t forget that.” Reminded Mia.
Elyon nodded her head. She’s been in Hearst for a month already. It was not an easy transition. She remembered during her first day in Hearst, Max and Lacey tormented her like crazy.
A week after that though, Max seemed to have changed his mind and started pursuing her. Elyon was wary at first and wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a ploy of some kind. Elyon remembered how half of the women at school hated her when the entire Hearst found out that Max was wooing her. She remembered trying to enter the Glee club but Ariana, the star of the club tormented her. Elyon was quickly dubbed as the Scarlet Siren, the enchantress who seduced the King of Hearst for her own agendas. Then there was Lacey, who swore that she would get even with her. Her only ally at Hearst was Kara. Kara was friendly to her and even invited her to join the cheering squad. Kara had long moved on from Max and has forgiven Elyon. Kara is currently happy with her unexpected relationship with Nishan.
After two weeks of dating, Elyon finally relented to Max and they made things official.
People at Hearst no longer messed with her but they still hated her. It made Elyon miss her old friends and her old school.
“How about Wes…? Has anyone heard of him? I’ve tried going to his trailer once or twice. He wasn’t there. ” asked Elyon as she lowered her voice.
“Well…. No one has. He took your expulsion pretty badly.” Replied Mia.
“And why the hell are you two talking about that sketchy ex of yours?”Asked Max as he marched into the conversation. He quickly place his arms around Elyon’s waist.
“I miss my old school and all my friends. You know that.” Replied Elyon as she rested her head at his chest and sighed.
“My school belongs to my family… with my family in a complete disarray and how I lost control over our school. I feel like I failed my family and all those people at my school who needs my help.” She continued.
“Well you’re in Hearst now. You need to give yourself a break and focus on yourself. Just focus on that musical you’ve joined. You are Hearst’s Queen now and I’ll make sure no one messes with you.” He said as he pulled her closer.
Max gets completely nervous each time Elyon mentions that she wants to return to her old school. He hates to admit it but he is insecure and paranoid enough to think that if she returns there, she might get close to Wes again. Max knows that Elyon is as stubborn as he is, and she has a mind of her own. If she wants to return, she will return and he can’t do anything to stop her.
A soft chime rang and echoed throughout the parlour. They all turned to Elton who was holding the bell.
“Dinner is served. Now everyone please follow me.” He said dryly.
Elyon firmly held Max’s hand as the couple followed Elton. Mia trailed behind them, eyeing the odd couple closely.
Elyon paused for a minute, tiptoed to reach his tall and muscular boyfriend and whispered something to Max’s ear.
Max laughed and playfully ruffled his petite girlfriend’s hair.
The red head swatted his wiry arms away.
She pouted and pretended to be upset by folding her arms and walking away from him.
Max shook his head, gently tugged her arm and pulled her closer to him.
Then he placed an arm around her shoulders and kissed the crown of her head.
Mia blinked wildly and couldn’t believe that this was coming from two people who were trying to destroy each other’s schools.
Mia thought that Elyon was too kind and too good for her brother. But then again, she was a gentle soul who always saw some good in everybody while Max was still pretty much the jerk as he ever was. But when he is with her, he seemed to learn to control his temper. He also managed to deflate his ego…even just a tiny bit.
Then it hit her. Max and Elyon must have probably met each other when their dad and her aunt dated.
Perhaps something had brewed between them back then. But when their dad and her aunt turned into enemies, they had no choice but be rivals as well.
Who knew what could have happened between the two during the past year? There was probably more between them. All Mia knows is that Max is what Elyon wants and Elyon is what Max probably needs. As long as they are happy she supports them.
There's loving in your eyes
That pulls me closer
(Ooh it pulls me closer)
It's so subtle
(It's so subtle)
I'm in trouble
(I'm in trouble)
But I'd rather be in trouble with you
oOo
Authoress notes : Hope you guys like it. Fingers crossed for more MCxMAx dates.
I feel like the whole Warren family is interesting. i want to know more bout their mom. I think Mr. Warren is a narcissistic parent and that’s why his children turn out like that.
i headcanon max and mia as twins. therefore they are both born on October 13
the success on their relationship depends on Max. He is a jerk and has a temper. he is used in getting what he wants and is sort of a control freak. he is insanely jealous and insecure with Wes or anyone who has their eyes on Elyon. Nana constantly compares them to his dad and her aunt. It all depends upon Max on whether he will follow his father’s path or not.
trying to insert a sidestory of my mc elyon in the story.i wish someone had transcripts of cause of death because i’d love to learn more about mysteries and stuff. elyon’s dilemma on the other hand is the mysterious person that is trying to tear her family apart.
i loved the latest quest level 31! Cant wait to know what happens next in HSS
Yay! Omigod! After half a year Pixelberry heard my prayers and yesss! A Max date at long last. This is just the mod booster that i needed after moping around with Game of Throne’s finale and the kick start i needed to write fics again after half a year!! And hopefully i can continue writing The Manor by the Cliff as well before halloween! AN anon made a request for me to continue my mc x max fic so here it is. my response to the max date. enjoy anon. :D
Timeline : The Bad Boy, the latest level in the Main QUest
Song inspiraton : Insatiable by Darren Hayes
(requires an understanding of the previous Elyon x Max fics)
Elyon was staring blankly at the window on Max’s Porsche. Max Warren just took her on a date that day. Their date was awkward, sweet and strangely casual. He was currently driving her home. Elyon took a furtive glance at him. How could he act so…normal? Not after the hell that they have been through last year. She thought on how their schools and their families were rivals.
How he kept sabotaging her school.
How she and her friends exposed his school’s corruption and almost shut it down for good.
How she wound up as his tutor and even had a secret affair behind Kara’s back last summer.
How she ended up their relationship and Max had an explosive reaction to the break up.
How he antagonized Wes and started dating Lacey from Athena Academy!
The last time that she faced Max was probably a couple of months ago.
She was at Mia’s house, celebrating a Christmas Party and somehow ended up under a mistletoe with that wretched blond.
They had a passionate kiss that shocked everyone in the room but then she pushed him away after that.
Then that was it. She heard he seemed to be doing well with Lacey.
For Elyon on the other hand, the last couple of months was hell.
Her grandfather in England died.
Her parents, and 2 of her aunts (Elise and Evanora) and their school’s vice principal, and Elise’s personal assistant had a car accident leaving one of her aunts, the principal, in a coma while the rest is currently in a recovery. The rest of her family is trying to get a grip with all the law suits and charges after the accident. And to top that, Elyon is was expelled in her own school because of some contraband fireworks during the Valentines parade. Her family can’t help her for now because of all the law suits and they have lost control over the school since Prof. Edwin was placed in charge of their school while the principal and vice principal are out. Her remaining Aunt, the plastic surgeon Elaria quickly transferred her to Hearst High while she and her husband would sort out the mess. Mr. Warren tried to visit Elise in the hospital, but Elaria forbade him to come near Elise. The two then had an argument then finally an agreement. He could visit Elise one last time if Elyon could transfer to Hearst High.
On the outside, Elyon is calm, graceful and collected. But deep inside, she is depressed, confused and anxious. She feels like there is something bigger going on with her family with all the recent scandals.
The last time her family was involved such a scandal was years before she was born. Her mother had an obsessed admirer who kept killing all of her husbands. He was said to be dead after some sort of car crash. But with all that’s been going on… maybe….
Elyon’s thoughts were cut off because Max was rapidly tapping his fingers on the dash.
Elyon rolled her eyes. She thought that she was so depressed and confused lately that she was unable to say no when Max suddenly popped up in front of her lockers and asked her out on a date.
She looked at him again and wondered what was this blond up to. He was constantly looking around, focusing on everything but her. Finally she broke the silence and asked
“So where did you disappear to? Why did you ditch me in the middle of Mia’s party? Did Lacey call or something?”
“What? Uh… nowhere. I was at the party the whole time.” Hyped Max. He sounded nervous, as if he was thinking of something deeply
“Then why couldn’t I find you?” she continued to grill him.
“I don’t know. You must be a really bad hide-and-go seek player.” He retorted abruptly.
Elyon threw her head back and sighed in frustration.
Like what the hell is going on? Why did he even ask her out in the first place?
She felt like a fool to have thought that maybe a date with Max could have been a distraction to all that was happening to her family right now.
When she got expelled from Van Hausten High, she was separated from her closest friends.
Mia, Autumn, Sakura and Ezra remained in Van Hausten High. Nishan was in an advanced school somewhere. Koh, Katherine and Payton transferred to Athena Academy. Wes decided to quit school and disappeared from Elyon’s radar because he blamed himself on why they got expelled. Julian was her only companion when she transferred to Hearst.
Transferring to Hearst was a nightmare as she though. Max made her life miserable and Lacey would pop up out of nowhere and join in with Max. So it was a total surprise when Max appeared in her locker
one morning, break up with someone on the phone, then ask her out on a date.
“What the hell are you up to, Warren?” Elyon whispered to herself.
A little later, the couple finally pulled up to Elyon’s house.
“Finally!” she declared as she opened the door. She half expected that Max’s football posse would be suddenly jump from the bushes and tell her that the date was just a prank or something.
She was about to get out of the car when Max puts a hand on her arm.
“Elyon…wait…” he said as he gently tugged her arm as if telling her to stay for a while.
Elyon was surprised as she watched Max reach out into the backseat and set a bouquet of roses into her lap.
“ I.. uh.. I went on a quick run to the store while you were busy at the party.” He stammered.
Elyon blinked and stared at the red roses that were on her lap.
“ I thought you ditched me… I thought you didn’t do flowers…?” was all she could say.
“So? I changed my mind.” He snorted.
Max wanted to reach his hand out and brush her bronze hair. They were as red as the roses.
He paused then pulled back his hand and quickly started rubbing his neck instead.
“You’ve always loved red roses like your Aunt Elise right?” he asked.
Elyon turned to face him straight on and studied his anxious expression.
She felt her heart fluttered and a blush crept into her cheeks.
For the first time after those hellish months, she managed to give out a genuine smile.
She gazed at the blond Warren who seem to always drive her crazy.
She wondered if this was just a prank or perhaps something more. She was in Hearst High now, she knew she had to tread carefully and not let her emotions get into her head.
“Yes, I do. Thank you.” She said as she leaned over and gave Max a gentle kiss in the cheek.
Prank or not, this date was the distraction that she needed so she could breathe again.
“Elyon is that you? “Called out her cousin who went outside to check out the Porsche that parked outside their home.
Elyon quickly pulled away and got out of the car while cradling the bouquet on her hand.
“Yes Claudine, it’s just me and my date!” Elyon responded as she rushed to greet her cousin.
Claudine was her Aunt Evanora’s daughter and her only female cousin. She is currently studying as a Fashionista in Hollywood U. When she heard of the accident she quickly decided to stay at her cousin’s place during weekends to keep each other company and for support while their mothers recover.
As Elyon walked toward her front door, Max peered his head from his window and called out
“Hey Elyon maybe we can do this again sometime?”
Claudine blinked as she studied the man’s features.
“Oh my god… your date…is that a Warren?” she gasped as she pointed at the son of her Aunt Elise’s rival.
Elyon ignored her cousin then turned back at Max and grinned teasingly.
“Maybe.” She replied.
Max flashed a smile then drove away.
Unconsciously he had stopped revving up his engine like he used to. Max was too lost in his thoughts. He remembered a couple of nights ago, he managed to witness his dad getting drunk and crying by their mansion’s fireplace. His dad was crying and declared to Max that Elise Van Hausten was his one true love and that he regret that he had lost her over and over again. He muttered how he first lost her because he cheated with her back on college with Max and Mia’s mother. Then when they seemed to have a second chance a couple of years ago, he lost her again to a misunderstanding. Elise and her sisters accused him of cheating on her again. He was angry and he let his pride get the better of him. He didn’t run after her and even hated her after her family built their own school to spite him.
Last Christmas Elise had announced that she was finally engaged her current boyfriend, a brain surgeon.
It didn’t seem to affect him. But when the accident happened a few weeks ago, the news of Elise almost dying broke him. All his anger and hatred melted away and he realized what he felt for Elise all along
“It was always her.” his dad told him that night.
Max then recalled his whirlwind romance with Elyon last summer. Their steamy affair, their explosive break up, and his rage and jealousy over her ex-boyfriend Wes. How angry he was with her when he thought that she easily replaced her with Wes. He wanted to give her and Wes all sorts of hell whenever he could. But no matter how angry he was with her, he knew that could never hate Elyon. That whenever he’d run his fingers across Lacey’s red hair, he knew he was imagining another red head at the back of his mind.
The words of his father was what he needed win his girl back. Besides, it’s been a long time since their affair had ended and while he was with Lacey, Elyon remained single even when that Wes was constantly hovering around her. Max broke off with Lacey as soon as he could. To hell with the consequences. Now that Elyon was in Hearst High, he knew he had to act now or risk losing her like what happened to his dad and her aunt.
“It was always her.” Repeated Max as he touched his cheek where Elyon had kissed him.
So... more Max and Elyon. The Snack Attack and Max's sacrifice moved me. LOL.

Elyon was quietly sipping tea and was enjoying the warmth of the fireplace.
She thought she had quite an exhausting day.
It's been 2 weeks since she started her secret affair with Max Warren.
She could still vividly remember when they had both confessed to each
other at the football field. How Max's sweet words had wooed her.
And how they fogged up Max's car afterwards.
Nothing much had happened during the past 2 weeks.
Max was too busy with his football practice.
They just continued to communicate with each other through their phones
every night.
They didn't even get to see each other save for that one time Max snuck
at her school's back gates a few days ago.
Elyon has been hoping that Max would settle things with Kara first before
anything else. But Max just couldn't wait. He snuck in because he wanted to
ask her out on a weekend on a cabin in the mountains.
Elyon tried to refuse but in the end she gave in.
Their trip had a couple of setbacks of course. The rest of the 7 Giants had to come
because Max reasoned to Kara that he'd have an all-boys weekend with his friends.
Max rented a seperated cabin for the other Giants though so he could make sure
that he had Elyon all to himself that night.
Elyon nervously placed her tea down as she watched Max frivolously scribbling
at his sketchpad. She turned to the cabin.It was luxurious.
It was a log cabin, set in the middle of a lake. It only had one room but was
tastefully decorated. Her favorite things in the cabin were the hot tub, the sauna,
and the wide faux bear rug in front of the fireplace.
Max had pull out all the stops to probably impress her that day.
She and the boys hiked through the forest while singing "Heigh Ho".
They went ziplining through the trees.
The Giants were impressed at Elyon's archery and shooting skills
at a nearby gun range. Elyon explained that she was trained by her brothers
back at England at a young age.
Finally Max took her to a helicopter ride and to a romantic dinner.
Elyon was uneasy with all that Max has been spending on her.
Sure she was rich too but her family weren't into statuses, luxuries or brands.
She remember growing up in a simple manor in Bath.
The only thing she remembered splurging on were their deer hunts, and
her brother's cars. She was raised to be self-reliant and to be wise on spending
her money. She does chores herself, well... except for cooking.
" So... are you drawing me like one of your french girls?" asked Elyon when she
had finally finished her tea.
She placed it down at the wooden coffee table and approached Max.
" Yeah." he grinned as he showed her the sketch of Elyon who was sipping tea.
Elyon giggled as she sat on his lap and took a better look.
" My family's into art. Bridgette loves fashion designs, i have an uncle who's
a successfl architect, and my dad loves paintings. Dad even met mom
at a painting auction." he said as he wrapped his arms around Elyon.
Elyon listened as Max was talking about his mom. She could tell that the
divorce wasn't easy on him and Mia. He was disappointed that their mother
didn't pursue custody for them.
In the middle of their conversation, Elyon's phablet suddenly started ringing.
The two were startled as Elyon stood up and returned to the coffee table
to answer it. Max peered in and was surprised at the name that was flashing on
her phone's screen.
" Why the hell is that sketchy ex of yours calling?" he demanded.
" He and I are still friends. He calls from time to time." said Elyon casually
as she picked up her phablet.
" Don't answer that!" yelled Max as Elyon simply laughed and raised a brow.
" Why? We've broken up since before the Cheer Camp. It's been so long already..
It's not like my brothers have given Wes their blessing or anything."
she joked around though there was some sort of hint of disappointment in her voice.
Max was quiet. Her words had sent Max into some sort of paranoia though.
What if they did?
What if her brothers are aware of this affair and would rather send a loser
in to disrupt them coz her family hates the Warrens that much?
Elyon answered the call anyway. She placed a finger in lips as a sign for Max
to hush. Max folded his arms and raised his brows.
"Put in on speaker phone." whispered Max.
Elyon shook her head and chuckled as Wes started talking.
Wes was talking about his guitar lessons with Ezra.
Wes thinks he's finally improving and asked Elyon if she'd like to
listen to him play. He told Elyon that he couldn't sleep that night since he's been
thinking of too many things and maybe playing to her would help him ease his mind.
Max was listening to every word and felt like fuming.
When Wes stated if he could play a song to her.
Elyon approved as Max reddened in anger.
An intro from a guitar started playing from the other side of the line.
Then Wes' voice started singing to the beat.
There's a shop down the street, where they sell plastic rings,
for a quarter a piece, I swear it.
Yeah, I know that it's cheap, not like gold in your dreams,
but I hope that you'll still wear it.
Yeah, the ink may stain my skin, and my jeans may all be ripped.
I'm not perfect, but I swear, I'm perfect for you.
and there's no guarantee, that this will be easy.
It's not a miracle ya need, believe me.
Yeah, I'm no angel, I'm just me, but I will love you endlessly.
Wings aren't what you need, you need me.
Elyon clasped her wing shaped pendant and blinked in surprise at the song.
She recognized it as the song ' Endlessly' by The Cab.
Max hastily grabbed the phablet from Elyon's grasp and ended the call.
"Why do you have to be so rude? It was a lovely song." asked Elyon disappointingly.
" A guy is playing a song to you." said Max.
" Ezra does it all the time." retorted Elyon.
" Ezra's your band mate. But this time, your ex is serenading you." repeated Max, this time emphasizing the word Ex.
Elyon frowned at him. For her it wasn't big deal. It was just an acoustic song.
But for Max, it was. There was something in Wes' voice and the song's lyrics.
The song was filled with so much raw passion.
Something that made Elyon unconsciously smile while she was listening a while ago.
Maybe Wes had realized his mistake after all those months and is now telling her
something through a song.
Max felt like punching something. It felt weird and overwhelming that
an acoustic song filled with so much emotions could seem to beat a freaking helicopter ride.
Elyon shook her head and reached out her hand.
She wanted her phablet back. She made it clear to Max that she may be nice and kind but
she was no pushover and she pretty much does what she wants.
She makes it clear that if they wanted a relationship, she wanted to be his
equal. She wasn't just his little trophy girlfriend whom he could show off to others
or that he could control.
Max heaved as he returned the phablet to her. Elyon was always so gracious,
quiet and kind. But when she speaks, she always has a point. Her words always
seem to cut through him. And the way she speaks, she was like this angel
who could calm him down. Her eyes were sweet, defiant and charming at the same time
And her lips...
How he desired those lips like an angel.
Then the phone rang again.
Elyon grabbed her phone then gave Max a peck in the cheek and playfully
pushed him to move away.
Max just stood there frozen.
As expected it was Wes again. Elyon apologized because the call was
interuppted unexpectedly. She asked Wes that he could play again if he wanted.
Max walked away, he didn't want to hear Wes sing.
He walked outside to the balcony that had a great view of the lake.
He quickly took out his phone and dialled.
A groggy Wan appeared at the screen of Max's phone.
"Why are you calling at this hour?" asked Max's Korean friend.
The rest of the Giants were fast alseep in their seperate cabin.
" Are you already done with her ?'' groaned Stan in the background
who was annoyed that Max had to called them.
" No... not yet..." said Max hesistantly as the other giants who were waking up roared in laughter.
Max furrowed.
" What the hell am I supposed to do? Her ex is calling! And serenading
her through the phone!!" said Max angrily but softly.
" With a guitar and all?" asked Gas.
" Damn that's smooth." commented Gabe.
" Is there a way that this sketchy loser could have found out about us...?" asked Max worriedly.
" Why would that loser even be interested with Red again? Didn't he dump her back then?" yawned Stan.
" We'll never know how he works dude. You know how he was when he
was here back at Hearst." said Geo.
" Did you ever try to meet Red at her school?" asked Tom as he gave Wan a signal. Wan scrambled to take his laptop and he started typing.
" There was this one time.." started Max when Wan sent Max a photo.
It was a photo of Max and Elyon hugging.
Wan managed to hack into some of Van Hausten High's CCTV footage and found
a footage of Max sneaking up at the back gates and talking to Elyon.
The giants agreed that maybe Wes does already know and for some reason he's probably trying to get her back. They pretty much doubt that Wes
is aware of Elyon's "weekend" though.
Max was pissed. Why of all times? Why did this schemer suddenly just snake
back? Max was worried since he and Elyon aren't pretty much official yet.
She could easily back out anytime she wants.
" Dude, why are you so worried? He's over there and you're the one here
who's going to sleep with her tonight?" asked Stan.
Max sighed then took a peek at Elyon who was done with the phone call.
She looked back at him and placed her phablet down the coffe table.
Her face seem to express concern as she eyed at Max's phone.
She quickly stood to join him at the balcony.
" Hey, I'm done." she said as she hopped out of the glass sliding door.
She furtively glanced at the image of Max's screen.
She was expecting to see Kara and was relieved when she saw the Giants instead.
" Hey Red!!!" greeted the Giants in unison.
" I thought you were calling Kara..." whispered Elyon.
Max smirked.
" You thought I came out here to call Kara while you were with Wes?"
he asked haughtily as he sensed a hint of jealousy in Elyon's expression.
" So um.. yeah don't tire yourself out Red coz we still need to have a rematch
at the Archery range tomorrow." said Gabe.
Max glared back at the screen then waved his hand.
"Good night!" he said with finality and hanged up the video call.
Elyon held and tugged Max's arm then snuggled close to him.
" Why are you so worried about Kara?" he asked her while grinning.
He seemed to enjoy making her jealous.
" The same reason why you seem to worry about Wes." retorted Elyon.
Max furrowed and placed his hands on his hips.
" I'm not worried! I'm not jealous!" he snapped.
Elyon laughed. There's Max again, pompous, and rude as usual.
Elyon got hold of Max's chin then met her eyes with his.
" You know that I was afraid of this affair because this is wrong.
This isn't right. This isn't fair to Kara.
But remember this, I questioned my principles because I want you.
Only you." she told him as she pressed her lips to his.
Max was taken back by her boldness and her passion.
" Damn you..." he said as she broke free from the kiss.
He held the wing shaped pendant in her neck then traced his finger
to her lips.
" You have the lips of an angel." he murmured.
" I'm not no angel. I'm a siren." she told her as she lead Max inside the cabin.
oOo
" Why did you bite me?" whimpered Elyon as she turned to Max.
" You were too delicious. I couldn't help it." he said as he kissed the part
of her shoulder where he had bitten.
The couple were lying in the faux bear rug near the fireplace and were still trying to
catch their breathes.
A while ago they peeled each other's clothes off and they made love all over the
cabin's living room.
" I'm sorry." apologized Max but he was grinning. He found Elyon's reaction to his bite as humorous. He started nibbling on her ear and kept
whispering he was sorry. Elyon let out a soft moan as Max started tracing a path
from her ears to her neck using his lips.
When he reached the back of her neck, he gave it a little nibble, a lick, then he sucked.
Elyon tensed as she realized what he was doing.
" No not there." she protested weakly.
" Too late." said Max as he looked at the rose colored mark that he left.
" People might see...." she said as Max then continued to explore her body all over again.
" Wear your hair loose then." he said as he found his way down to her breasts.
His tongue then circled around her left breast before finally taking in and sucking
her nipple. Max couldn't help himself even if he'd been exhausting her for the last
hour. She was like a sweet and addicting chocolate to him. He had just cum inside
her a while ago and now he felt himself getting hard again.
Elyon took a sharp breath as she enjoyed the tickling sensations that Max was giving him.
His tongue was like magic agaisn't her skin. She quickly rose up and crawled on
top of him, much to his surprise.
" I want to show you what I can do this time." she told him as she lowered herself
onto his shaft. Elyon noted on how fast he was so hard again.
Her hands started to roam around his abdomen and to his chest.
She admired at how ripped Max was. He was like a Greek Marble Statue.
After all he was Hearst High's quarterback.
Her fingers traced and counted all 8 abs and how hard his chest was.
Then she moved slowly at her own pace.
She grinded up and down, her body slithering like a snake as she moved.
Max closed his eyes and enjoyed as Elyon took the lead this time.
He grabbed her hips nd wanted to buck her faster but she grinned and held his hands.
"No! My turn! My rules!" she said in a sultry voice.
She squeezed her pelvic muscles each time she rode him down.
The sensation of her warm walls clamping his shaft drew deep moans and gasps.
She chuckled as she finally started to pick up her pace.
Her hips gyrated faster than before but she still had full control of her rhythm.
Max opened his eyes and watched as his petite goddess sinously moved on top of him.
He panted and noted at how the light from te fireplace illuminated her.
HOw her body reddened and glowed. How her long copper hair tousled freely.
She looked like a flame, flickering and dancing to a song of lust.
A flame that slowly seared his skin with a burning desire.
She was indeed a Siren. The sound that ther hips were making, the sweet murmurs
coming her lips were all music to his ears.
"Mm... Max..." she chanted over and over again.
Max couldn't help but smirk because he knew she was thinking of only him as they made love.
Max helplessly admitted to himself that he was now completely under her spell.
SHe finally hastened her speed and Max raised his hips along with her.
She started to contract her walls. Max marveled at the sensation of Elyon's insides
clamping on and off of his shaft. He knew she was building him up.
After a powerful slam, Elyon pushed her muscles down, sending her sweet g-spot
to grind with his shaft and for Max to finally lose control.
She felt him throb and release another hot wave of his seed inside her.
She cried out and arched her back. Her eyes dilated and she felt her body shaking.
Max let out a growl and trembled.
They both came at the same time.
Their juices mixed then warmed and tickled her insides.
She managed to lie herself on top of him as she shook uncontrollably.
" Damn you..." Max managed to utter after finally catching his breath again.
Elyon laced her fingers to his and admired how their hands seem to fit each
other's perfectly. She was glad that she took the pill.
She enjoyed every twitch and every pulse his shaft made before it would go limp again.
Max chuckled and didn't expect that the goody goody two shoes from his rival school could be
such a vixen. That she'd actually risk so much just to be with him.
" I don't want tonight to end." she finally spoke.
Max laughed. She'd probably milk him dry if they continued like this all night and morning.
" Why not? I cant wait for the next 2 weeks to pass so you can finally be mine."
he said as he planted a kiss on her head.
Elyon cringed as she heard him say that. She was dreading the
apparent break up when Kara finally returns. She was frightened, confused
and ashamed at what she had done. How Kara would react.
How her classmates esp. Mia would react. How her entire Van Hausten clan would probably freak out.
She looked at Max though. Her sea green eyes and his sapphire orbs gazed
at each other so tenderly that she felt like they were going to melt together.
She snuggled closer to him and hoped that this wasn't just some beautiful dream.
She slowly closed her eyes and readied herself for the consequences that this
affair might bring.
oOo
practiced wirting smut. waa! hope it was okay. hopefully i can make the requests soon. :D
My mind is bein barraged by feels and ideas because I couldn't stop listening stop to the 3 songs kelseythespookynerd suggested me for all my Max and Elyon feels. XD
Timeline : After Blueberry Cheesecake and Before level 25's Getting on Track, pretty much at the same time as NIshan's Fanfiction . Nothing spoiler-ish except for one line from Nishan's fanfiction.
Song inspiration : Sorry by BUckcherry
oOo
Elyon smiled as she saw Sakura and Nishan kiss after
reading their fanfiction.
As they discussed Nishan's fanfiction, Elyon absent mindedly
flipped the pages of her copy of the fanfiction.
She looked at Sakura and Nishan somewhat enviously.
Then she stopped and turned to read a random line of
the fanfiction.
Sakurabot trips the Baron von Max who crashes to the ground in a million icy shards.
"Max the ice monster. Sure he can be a monster...
But an ice monster." she whispered as she shook her head.
She recalled what happened to her last week.
She remembered the "charity event".
The surfing incident.
The thank you dinner.
And the unexpected event during the dinner by the sunset.
How he held her and how he had set her on flame.
He was no ice monster.
"God..why am I thinking like this?" she gasped then slammed
her palm into her head.
"No.. stop.. he has Kara." she continued slapping her forehead.
Elyon felt like crying all of a sudden.
She felt so lost, confused and helpless.
Why can't she stop thinking of Max?
If things between your aunt and my dad ended up differently,
would we have ended differently as well? I'm sorry I didn't
fight for you back then, my dearest Siren.
I never really moved on. I am still under your spell.
Out of all the messages that one had struck her the most.
She thought of the moments when they first met until to their
first kiss back in London and how things ended so abruptly.
But shook her head again.
"This is wrong... this is wrong...he has to break
up with Kara first." she continued to murmur to herself
as if it was some sort of her mantra that week.
Elyon then clasped her wing shaped pendant, the one Max gave her.
"A siren."she rued.
Then she turned to her friends who were still discussing about
Nishan's fanfiction. Julian then took a peek at his watch and
spoke to everyone.
"Hey guys, there will be a friendly practice football match between
Statton for Humanities and Hearst High half an hour from
now. Do you guys want to watch? Hope's inviting us."
he declared as the rest responded with enthusiasm.
They wanted to cheer for Statton while Nishan and Sakura
thought it would be a good chance to record one of
Hearst High's plays before the new school year starts.
"Hearst? Football?" uttered Elyon as she knew it only
meant one thing.
Autumn beamed and elbowed Elyon.
" Come on! Ely, this should be fun. Statton needs our support." she said cheerfully
as Nishan and Sakura took off take their videotaping stuff.
Elyon was unsure but Julian, Autumn, Payton, Nishan, Sakura and Mia were too
excited that saying NO all of a sudden would make them suspicious.
"All right then." she hesistantly agreed.
The group were seating in the front row near where Statton's
team was. Hope wand Chelsea happily accomodated them.
Nishan and Sakura were busy prepping up their camera gears
while Autumn and Payton were busy chatting.
Mia had her attention on Hearst's cheering team who were
warming up for a half time routine later while Julian
was eyeing Hearst's line up.
"I don't see Thor and Loki in their line up this time.
All I see are the so called 7 Giants. Max's little posse." he whispered
to Elyon. Elyon grinned uneasily as Julian started enumerating
the 7 Giants to her. He said that they were called the 7 Giants
as an allusion to the 7 Dwarves while Kara was their Snow White.
Max was Grumpy, because he is stubborn and angry most of the time.
Tom was Doc, because he was Max's best friend and he seemed to
be actually the true leader of the group.
Gabe the black dude was Happy because he is always cheerful.
Geo and Gas were Bashful and Sneezy for no particular reason.
Stan was sleepy because he was always too quiet.
While Wan was Dopey because he is the smallest of the group.
In the middle of their conversation, a tall and handsome dark haired
guy smoothly cut in and grinned at Elyon.
"Well, well, nice to see you here again Miss Darcy." he beamed.
Elyon wanted to groan. It was Terry again, Statton's quarterback.
He's been trying to ask Elyon out since last year but to no avail.
Elyon smiled graciously as Terry continued to try and smooth talking her.
Elyon's thoughts aimlessly wandered though.
Her eyes were furtively searching for Max.
Finally her eyes found him standing near the where the
cheerleaders were. Her heart fell when she found them together.
Kara just finished a routine and then
she and Max were sort of talking.
Elyon tried her best to read their lips, a skill she seemed
to have picked up from her sketchy ex, Wes.
All she got was Kara asking Max if he was sure that he didn't
want to go to spend the last month of summer with her in her
grandparent's horse ranch. Her flight will be an hour after the game.
She was hoping that he would change his mind and that they could
spend the last month of summer together.
Max noded his head no because he wanted to focus on
football and to think about so many things else.
Kara furrowed and demanded what else should they think about.
The two sort of argued but then Max's eyes drifted into Elyon's
direction. Max was actually contemplating on breaking up with Kara
the past week but Kara has been fiercely trying to keep their relationship
up. A few days ago a Glee named Rachel Cadburry tried to flirt with Max
but Kara and the cheerleaders played a prank on her as a warning for her
to stay away from him. Max dreaded on what Kara might do with Elyon
if she ever finds out the reason why he'd break up on her.
Then he spotted Statton's quarterback was busily
flirting with Elyon. Max clenched his fists then moved to put
on his helmet.
" Um... I think the games will start any minute...
So, here's our deal. If you guys win, we can go out.
If not, then I'm sorry." said Elyon to Terry.
"If that's what it takes."
Terry grinned as he put on his helmet.
Elyon felt like she had a bad feeling though as she watched Terry
went off to the field as the game were about to begin.
The game ran smoothly and as expected Hearst
was gaining the upperhand during the first half.
In the beginning of the second half though, Terry
managed to pin a touch down that gave Statton a nice lead.
Elyon was uncomfortable as Terry winked at her after his touchdown.
Payton couldn't stop teasing Elyon for the next couple of minutes after that.
Elyon tried to shush Payton as Hope, Autumn and Chelsea
joined in the teasing.
Just then in the middle of the teasings, Max tackled Terry
and the two ended up rolling out of the field and almost
to the seats in their row, knocking a few chairs and even
Statton's cooler along the way.
Nishan, Sakura, Julian, Autumn, Payton, Hope,Chelsea, Mia
and Elyon managed to avert the chaos and run out on time.
Cups, the orange colored energy drink somewhat ended
flying all over. Max seemed to have hurt a muscle on his leg
and started arguing with Terry.
Kara rushed in to pacify Max but he only told her to stay out of this.
The referee came and warned the two but the angry Max
continued belting out. Finally, Elyon approached Max
and gently held his arm to hold him back.
"Please enough." she stated as she tugged him tenderly.
Max looked at her sharply, drew a deep breath then pulled his
arm out of her grasp and returned to the field without a word.
Everybody was puzzled and amazed at the same time.
"He hasn't been himself since last week. And yes, we the Giants
know what happened." said Tom in a hushed tone as he
approached Elyon.
" Everything that happened?" asked Elyon nervously.
"Can't you at least give him a chance to talk to you? You, alone,
seem to have a different effect on him." frowned Tom.
Elyon's eyes then pointed to Kara who was noting on why was
Tom talking to someone from Van Hausten High.
" I'll make sure that no one bothers you both of course."" said Tom
as he continued to keep his voice down.
Tom had known Max all his life. He's getting worried that Max
had become erratic than usual. He and the rest knew what happened
during the Charity Event. How could they deny the sizzling
chemistry that easily oozed between Max and Elyon the whole time?
From how Max charged to surf out of jealousy to
how Elyon saved Max from drowning.
All that Tom wanted was to give Max some inner peace
and hopefully a talk between the two can finally let Max
decide between Kara or Elyon. Tom knows that Max pretty much targetted
Terry because the latter flirted with Elyon. Tom had to do something
before Max continued to be clouded and could cost them the game.
" If you guys win this fair and square, then I'll talk to Max.
Also you have to make sure there will be no one else here.
And no games! No cheating! None of your team's tricks!"
whispered Elyon firmly as she folded her arms.
Heasrt High have always been known to play dirty whevener they can.
Tom raised his arms and noded his head.
" Whatever you say, Rose Red."
Then he jogged to join his team.
Elyon flinched when Tom called her "Rose Red".
Rose Red was the nickname given to Elyon by her elder brothers as a
reference to her copper hair. Though it pretty much annoyed
Elyon because 3 out of her older brothers had red hair too.
Only Phoebus was blond. But her brothers would lovingly call
her Rose Red because she was the 'Rose' among the thorns,
the only daughter among the 5 siblings. Apparently, Max learned
to call her that too before her aunt and his dad broke up.
And now the 7 Giants were calling her that too.
It was odd and funny at the same time because it was as if
Kara was Snow White and she was Rose Red.
The coach from Statton called for a time out to check on their quarterback.
In the Hearst team benches, as the coach was calling out their strategy,
Max decided to have a mini huddle with the rest of the 7 Giants instead.
"Cut the crap Tom, what did you say to her?" demanded Max.
"She says if we win fairly, she'll talk to you tonight." he reported.
"Oooooooh." chorused the rest of the group.
Gabe turned to Max's leg and then looked up to see he was grimacing in pain.
"You got hurt pretty bad Max, I think you need to sit this one out..." he said hesistantly.
"After what's at stake?" snapped back Max as he tried to stand straight.
"Oh shut up Max, it's not like we always have to rely on you to win."
groaned Stan as he rolled his eyes.
Max was taken aback.
"Plus you really need to rest. Your injury seems minor, you'll be able to heal in no time
if you rest this time. No need to strain it any further." advised Geo.
"And your dad will flip on us if he finds out his star player is injured even before
the next school year starts." added Tom.
" We're the 7 Giants, we stick to each other and no one messes with us."
said Gas he slammed his fist to his palm.
"All for one and one for all!" yelled Gabe.
"I think that may have been a quote from the 4 Musketeers...and we're supposed
to be the 7 dwarves..." corrected Wan as the referee blew his whistle.
"Well I aint yelling Heigh Ho unless we're hiking on some mountain!"
said Gabe as Wan made a motion to the coach for a substitute for Max.
The teams assembled and the game resumed.
Meanwhile on Elyon's side of the bench, Julian was curiously questioning
on how on earth could Elyon have known Tom.
Tom is like the kinder version of Max but then again he is still some sort
of an elitist and a snob. He looks down on people below his class
and would join Max in pranks like the expired mayo prank last school year.
Elyon was just silent because she had no idea how to reply.
Good thing Payton interjected and started dreamily enumerating
at how she used to have a crush on Tom when they were still
at Hearst High.
Right before the time ran out, Stan managed to score a touch down.
Hearst High won the game and the students from Hearst started
cheering and dancing to the field.
Kara and the cheerleaders did a victory routine as the Band marched
and played a victory song in sync with the cheerers.
Hope and Chelsea sighed as the rest of the Van Hausten students consoled them.
Terry joined them as Elyon shrugged her shoulders.
"Sorry Terry, maybe some other time." she said as Terry left disappointedly.
"Well, I guess we need to get out of here before the Hearst start a riot or something."
said Julian as they turned to the field. The rest noded as yes though Elyon
motioned that she needs to stay for a while. A cousin would come and pick her
up later so she urged the others that she'd be fine.
The others decided to get pizza in a nearby parlor and asked Terry to join them.
Elyon was lying of course. She just sat down and wondered how could
the 7 Giants make sure that there wouldn't be a single Hearst High Student
left in the field.
Then Gas' deep and grisly voice suddenyl boomed.
"Victory Party at my house!"
All the Hearst High students went wild.
Gas and Geo carried Stan on their shoulders as the band trumpeted
and lead the way as all of the students followed.
Within a blink, all that Elyon could see was Tom, Wan and Max
sitting in the front row bleachers at the other side of the field.
Elyon then stepped towards them.
"Um... hey..." she greeted nervously.
"Hey." Max greeted as he tried to hide his enthusiasm.
" Hey, okay we'll just circle around to make sure no one else
is here, not even the janitors then we'll go." said Wan
as the two slipped away.
"I'm sorry." started Elyon when Max stood up.
His leg was getting quite better already.
" Stop apologizing! And tell me why the hell have you been ignoring me."
said Max as he started his longand angry lament and complaints.
Elyon was barely listening to Max.
She was too lost in her own deep thoughts as well.
His message was mostly about his anger and explanations on why
he still couldn't break up with Kara.
Elyon just wished he'd just shut up though so she could air out her side.
Then as Max continued ranting, Elyon tiptoed and grabbed Max's uniform
and kissed him. Max was taken aback and he fell back into the chairs of the bleachers.
He managed to break the fall by using his arms so the two wont end up
sprawling all over the bleachers.
He was sitting while Elyon was on his lap.
" Are you done talking now?" asked Elyon as she pulled away.
"Damn you..." rasped Max as he locked his arms around her.
" I didn't want to talk to you because I was afraid and confused.
Everything happend too quickly between us last week."
Elyon apologized.
"No, actually we've been too slow, that's why this is happening.
Back then I wasn't sure what I wanted. When I kissed you for the first
time in London during New Year's eve, it was as beautiful as the fireworks back
then. But I was a fool and I didn't fight for you. Now I know what I want.
All I want is you all along. I'm so sorry about everything and how
I treated you and your school." he confessed.
Elyon blinked as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
It felt odd and delightful at the same time.
Here was the the son of her family's enemy,
the great big bully and her school's sworned rival.
Yet, here she was on his lap and listening to him pour his heart out.
"But Kara!" she blurted as tears pooled in her eyes.
Max smiled though because he knows that Elyon obviously feels the same now.
He told her that it was sort of too late to break up with her since she already
on her way to her grandparent's horse ranch for a month.
It would be quite rude if he breaks up to her through a call or a text.
Elyon sighed and just pressed herself closer and rested her head on his shoulder.
" So I guess we have to wait for a month then?" she said disappointedly.
Max stroked her hair then whispered to her ear.
" We'll set it right a month from now, but I am yours If you want me."
Elyon blushed then replied
" Our families will both flip if they ever found out about our little affair."
Max beamed and took at as a yes. He yelled in delight then lifted and
carried Elyon up bridal style.
He was happy that she had given him a chance. A chance to maybe make up
for all the time they had lost.
Elyon shrieked then laughed as Max started spinning her around the air.
She marvelled at how strong Max still was despite an injured leg.
Max was just too happy to care. He spun her around like a groom finally
carrying his bride away when thunder cracked and rain started dropping.
Max then gently let go of Elyon then grabbed his green football jacket
and his duffel bag.
He placed his jacket above him and Elyon and they ran out of the field
and dashed into his car.
Inside, Elyon wrapped the Hearst High Jacket around her as she looked at Max affectionately. She still couldn't believe what was happening.
Everything felt so wrong and so right at the same time.
She knew it was wrong to go behind everybody's back like this, but she
felt like she should finally face what she truly feels and give chance
to what could have been hers a long time ago.
They will set it right a month from now anyway.
Max placed his duffel bag on the backseat then fished his car keys out.
Then he turned to Elyon who was still lost in gazing at him.
He reached out to cup her face then he told her.
" Remember, I don't care what our families or friends will say once
word of us comes out. I wont let Kara or even my dad hurt you.
This is about us. Not them.I am not my dad, you are not your Aunt.
If we make this work, we wont end up like them.
We'll deal with this, together, okay?" he declared
with all this heart. Max knows that his dad has been uncomfortable of Elyon because she looked similar to her aunt Elisena while Max is the mirror
image of his father. Their relationship ended bitterly so his dad has been
warning him to stay away from a Siren's deadly spell.
Max couldn't help himself though. No matter how much he bullied her
she still somehow managed to enchant him.
Elyon felt like breaking down when Max said those words.
She remembered how she and Wes ended because Wes failed to fight
for her when her eldest brother Phoebus threatened him.
And here was Max, ready to fight for her.
She recalled Nishan's fanfiction earlier that afternoon.
Max was the hideous ice monster.
Just as a certain movie quoted, only an act of true love could melt a frozen heart.
Elyon giddily thought if this was it.
If she had melted his frozen heart the way he had set hers on fire.
She happily pushed Max and crawled on to his lap as she
gave him a fiery and lingering kiss.
Max fumbled to lock the car's doors but dropped his keys to the floor.
It didn't matter as Max left the keys sprawled at the floor.
It seems that they wouldn't be going anywhere for a while.
oOo
Cheers and cookies for all those who read plus ice cream to those who like or reblog Yay!
I feel like our MC's are too nice... decided to make her as a sort of bad girl for a change
The feels i get for writing this simply because I am building this up for The Victory Banquet Quest.
I wonder if Pixelberry is ever reading our fanfics here. XDD
can you write a fanfic (after Elyon breaks up with Wes....) where Max kisses Elyon? :) :)
I was supposed to write this a long time ago but husband came home but nothat he’s off for work again i finally have free time so yay thanks Anon for reminding me.
inspired by the surfer quest, the level 10 surfer outfit and malyndahss's screenshot from level 26.
timeline : Before level 25’s Getting on Track though nothing spoiler-ish from the main quests. :D
sorry if it’s long one hope you guys enjoy.
Blueberry Cheesecake
Elyon held the five year old and carefully placed him on the surfboard."Okay Jerry. Remember what I told you?" she asked."Yup!." said the scrawny kid as he positioned himselfon the surfboard.Then he squealed as he popped up and tried to balancehimself.The other kids cheered in delight as Jerry waved his handsat them."Nice job Jerry!!!" called Wan from the shore.The rest of the people in the beach also applauded.Gas then elbowed Max at the side and whispered to him."Wow, she’s a natural with kids, isn’t she?" he teased.Max glared at Gas as Gas laughed loudly.Max then turned to Elyon who was with Tom, Gabe, Geo and Wan at waters wading and taking turns in teaching a group of orphanshow to surf.Elyon looked back to see why Gas was laughing and metMax’s gaze instead. She smiled at him as Max turned pinkand turned away.Elyon sighed then shook her head. She cant understandwhy Max can be still mean to her no matter how friendly she is to him."Why did I even put up to this?" she thought to herself thenturned to the horizon.She recalled on their tutorials last week, Max invited herto accompany him to a charity event. Elyon could never say noto a charity so she said yes. The ‘charity event’ was actuallyan opening for Max’s dad’s newest beach resort.Mr. Warren had invited some orphans for the day and insisted that Max and some of his football friends attend and entertain theorphans so Hearst High will get some good press.Max invited his posse’, the 7 Giants of Hearst High.Max was the leader because he was the principal’s son.Then there’s Geo, Gas and Gabe or whom Elyon prefers tothink as the Rock, Vin Diesel and Terry Crews because they are like the high school versions of those celebrities.Then there’s Tom, Max’s best friend.Stan, the strong and silent type and Wan, who was more likelya genius who replaced Nishan and is on charge of gadgetsand the team’s playbook.Elyon actually thought that Max and his posse were actuallykind of nice if they weren’t bullying and stuff. She is on her guardthought because she expects that maybe they might prank herin front of the press any time.
Max on the other hand grumbled and turned to the sand.He hated how his posse would secretly tease him to Elyon.He remembered how he had hanged up the phone on Kara back then when she was asking for hus support duringa Shakespearean play. His gang told him to break up with Kara already if he wasn’thappy and then started popping random names of women fromHearst High whom he could date. But when Wan mentioned Elyon’s name, Max reacted uneasily instead of his usual smugness. So his gang challenged Max to "Make her wear the Hearst High Jacket". It would be amusingto see that the niece of the principal of their rival school will be wearing the Hearst High jacket during their upcoming football games if he could win her heart.
Then Gas stopped laughing as Mr. Warren approached the two.He turned to where the orphans and the press were thenraised his brows."Why is that woman here?" he asked and turned to his son.Gas then whistled and slowly walked away as Max faced his dad."You said I could bring anyone I want." Max said defiantly then smirked."How did you even.. know each other? Convince her to come here?Isn’t she from THAT school? Where’s your girlfriend, Kara?” asked Mr. Warrenwho was carefully observing Elyon.Mr. Warren thought that Elyon was like the splitting image of his former lover, Elisena Van Hausten except for their skincolor and hair color.Elyon had the same mannerisms as her aunt as well. The same grace, the same charms, the same bright smile.He regretted that he had hurt Elisena twice, first when theywere in high school and then when they dated again a year ago.But he made another mistake and this time Elisena’s sistersretaliated by building a school to rivals his.
"Kara’s not good with kids." reasoned Max.He was grinning deep inside though because he managed to pisshis dad off. Max hates it when his dad forces him to do charity workfor the presses. Mia somehow managed to slide away from this one somehow." I’ll just ask the photographers to not include her in the pictures. Her motherand her aunts will not let this rest if they found out that she was here somehow.You know how they are! Those pesky Van Hausten Sirens! ” he said coldly as he caught his sonunconsciously gazing and at the bronze haired beauty.He placed his hand on his shoulders and glared at his son."Stay away from the Siren! Do you understand me?"he whispered firmly to his son then promptly walked away.Max just folded his arms then shook his head.Mr. Warren called for the press and the orphans for the dinner buffet at the resort’s restaurant, leaving Elyon and the 7 giantsat the beach.Max joined the others and saw that Stan and Elyon werechallenging each other to some sort of surfing competition.The two then grabbed their surfboard and started paddling towards the waters and into a big wave.The two trying to outdo each other at the waveas Geo and Gas cheered for Stan while Wan, and Tomcheered for Elyon. He saw Stan winking at Elyon while performing an intricate surf stunt. Elyon then giggled and clapped her handsduring the stunt."Aw… aren’t the two sweet?" chided Gabe to Max.Max felt angry all of a sudden.Max then grabbed a surfboard from Gas and started paddlingtowards the water as well."Wait Max!" said Tom as a large wave started building up.Elyon stopped and watched as she saw Max heading towards a real big wave." Does he even know how to—?" asked Elyon to Stanwhen she saw the huge wave knocking Max off his board and into the water.Elyon screamed as she saw Max swim up for air.Before Max could even return to his surfboard another wave followedand splashed at him. This time knocking his head to the surfboard rendering him conscious.Elyon pointed to Stan on what she saw but Stan just laughed and scoffed it off."He’s just playing around." he grinned but Elyon shook her head and insistedthat she saw Max hit his head. She stood up from her boardand frantically waved at Tom, signalling that something was wrong.Tom quickly understood and told the rest so the boys started to franticallyhead to a speedboat and into the waters.Elyon glared at Stan then dived off from her board and into waters.She saw the unconsious Max slowly sinking down.She quickly swam towards him, took his arm into her shoulder and swam up."Tom! Over here!" she screamed as she broke to the surface before another wave toppledon top of them.Elyon braced herself and hanged on to Max as strong as she could.She threaded with all her might to stay afloat.Finally she felt a couple of strong arms pull her and Max out.Not long they were finally boarded in a speedboat. Max was carefully sprawled on the speedboat’s floor and Gabe was performing CPR. Geo grabbed a first aid kit andWan carefully treated the wound in Max’s forehead."Will he be okay?" asked Elyon to Tom.Elyon then stared at Max.He was lying there, bleeding and not moving.What the hell was he thinking? Why did he just went to face the wave like that? "Come on Max…" whispered Gas.Elyon felt like a cold bucket of water had hit her back."Is… he?" she gasped as she felt her vision go blurry.She felt like she was losing her hearing and her vision.She felt her heart pounded."It can’t be…" she continued in disbelief.She felt tears streaming from her face.That jerk! That jerk! He thinks he can do anything.He thinks he’s better than anyone else.Images of the time they spent together just flashed in her eyes.When they met the first time.Their first kiss in London.Meeting again as enemies when Van Hausten Academy started.The constant rivalries of their school.The day when Max became his charge and she as his tutor.The quiet times of them studying together.
"I think he needs mouth to mouth!" screamed the Korean whilesnapping Elyon from her flashback.The guys then started looking at each other uneasily.Elyon wasted no time and quickly knelt on the floor,pinched Max’s nose, opened his mouth and gave him air.The rest of the men in the boat either gasped or gaped inexcitement.Elyon ignored them though. She only had one thought in mind.Don’t do this to us, you jerk!After a few breathes, Max suddenly shook and coughed up water.The rest cheered and sighed in relief.Max opened his eyes and was surprised to see the red hairedbeauty kneeling on top of him.Her sea green eyes were holding back tears and her handwas gently brushing his flaxen hair."You’re okay." she blurted softly then suddenly buried her face in his chest and started to cry.Max took a few deep breathes and started to realize what just happened. He almost drowned and the lovely redhaired had saved his life!And now she was on top of him, crying out of relief that he was okay.Never in a million years would he ever thought that the “enemy”would have done that for him.He was overwhelmed. He gently stroked her hair and wasabout to embrace her when she pulled away and stood up."Don’t scare us again like that." said Wan.The rest of the boys continued to cheer as Tom helped Max up. "Let’s go get dinner!" said Gas as he revved up the speedboatand they returned to shore.
Elyon was just done changing into dry clothes when she heardWan calling for her. She chose to wear a colorful sarong that wrappedaround her neck, draping her bikini.She wrapped her beach outift off with a fresh flower she picked offsomewhere and tucked it on her ear.She got out of the dressing room and followed Wan because it was time for dinner.Wan told her that they wouldn’t be joining the orphans for the dinner buffet.Elyon was confused as Wan lead him near the shore.To her surprise, she saw a table decked with the most scrumptious food and pillows as their seats. It was also surrounded by torches and candles.The food looked and smelled delicious."We get to eat here and see the sun set?" said Elyon excitedly."Um.. well you get to eat here…" started Wan as Max approachedthe two. Max beamed as he thought that Elyon was beautifuland exotic in her sarong."I wanted to say thank you for what you did a while ago, so I hope this dinner would suffice.” he said as he took Elyon’shand and lead her to the table."Wow! It’s beautiful!" said Elyon as she took her seat.The two started to dine and laugh. Elyon enjoyed the dinner but was nervous at the same time.She felt guilty and embarassed at herself each time she looked at Max and thought that he was dashing althroughout the meal.Finally they were on to dessert, a blueberry cheesecake. The same time the sun started todip below the horizon. Elyon gazed at sunset dreamily asshe felt Max inched closer to her seat.She asked him where the others were and if they had eaten.Max said they were fine, he just wanted the dinner to be specialand to thank her personally because she was very brave.Maybe it was because of how the sunset glowed perfectlyon Elyon as she smiled, Or how Max kept thinking the imageof Elyon that he saw when he had opened his eyes after he almostdrowned, either way, Max couldn’t help himself as he inchedin and kissed Elyon. Max half expected that Elyon would retaliatewith a barrage of slaps but instead Elyon kissed him back as passionately as he did. He felt her arms had boldly crept around his neck and she pulled him closer to her.Max felt like letting go of everything and get lost in the moment.He thought on how different things may have turned out if his dad and aunt’s break up didn’t end as bitterly as it did.He regretted at how he didn’t fight for her back when hisfather first forbade him against the Sirens.He also felt bad at all the trouble he had caused her andher school. He admired at how friendly and gracious she was at keeping their tutorials a secret from everyone else.To think she even managed to keep it a secret from the masterof all secrets, her ex-boyfriend, Wes. Max felt flooded in angeras he thought of that sly and spiky haired schemer.He still couldn’t believe how that ‘peasant’ managed to win Elyon’s heart back then. Max finally admitted to himselfthat he felt a twinge of jealousy each time he saw her in Wes’ arms back then. And how dare that schemer just broke up with her like that? Rumor has it that the cause was Elyon’seldest brother. But to hell with that, what mattered to Maxwas now and this moment that he had with her. It felt likethe two were lost in a different plane and time. A havenjust for the two of them. A moment to make up for all the
what if’s that were stolen from them.
No school rivalries.
No family feuds.
No pranks from his football posse.
Not Wes or Kara.
Just him and her.
Then all of a sudden Elyon pushed Max away and stood up."What have I done?" she gasped as she frantically picked upher sarong. "This is wrong! This is wrong! You still have Kara!" she panickedwhile still trying to catch her breath.Max was still breathless and unable to move. Reality was still dawning in to himespecially when she mentioned Kara’s name."I’m sorry I allowed this to happen." she said tearfullyand quickly stepped away.Max managed to grab her arm though."Please calm down. Let’s talk about this. Things aren’tgoing well between Kara and I lately… and I.” he stammeredas he was racing to find the right words to say.What should he say? What could he do to make her stay?To convince her that it was her all along whom he hadalways wanted to be with?That things between Kara and him had been uneasy.And that now that Elyon was no longer with Wes, maybe this was it. This was a chance given to themto make up for what they failed before.But before he could say anything Elyon slipped from hisgrasp. She smiled at him but shook her head and declared"This was wonderful…but this is wrong. I’m sorry but I just can’t hurt Kara like this. And I don’t think I’m ready..not after Wes..” she said when Max suddenly cut in and angrily yelled." You’re still thinking of him?"Elyon turned her back and quickly ran away.He ran after her but she managed to run into the hall where the dinner buffet was being held and disappearedinto the crowd.He tried looking for her but his dad found him and held himdown for some photo ops for the press.Max hated himself.How come she always has to slip away from him?The fireworks at London.The Heist back at Hearst High?And now this?
After an hour long drive, Elyon managed to reach the apartment of oneof Micah, one of her elder brothers.Micah was confused on why their youngest who was cladin a sarong wanted to stay at his place all of a sudden.He was curious but didn’t ask anyway.Micah’s boyfriend, Ben quickly offered the poor girl some teaas Micah started to prepare the spare room in their apartment for his sister.Elyon turned her phone on once again and found that it wasfilled with several missed calls from Max.She decided to crash at Micah’s so Max wouldn’t be ableto find her.She was miserable on what she had done.She started to think how she suddenly missed the warmthof Max’s embrace and the tingly sensations he had left onher lips. But it was wrong. So wrong. She was confused and didn’t know how to face him again.She wondered if Max really will break up with Karaand if he’d ever reach out to her again after she fled fromhim a while ago. She thought of resigning from the tutorial center. She had no idea how to face Max afterwhat just happened. "So… anything you want to talk about?" asked Micahas he and Ben sat down with her for some tea.Ben quickly offered a blueberry cheesecake to go with the tea.Elyon suddenly wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
