Can You Sleep?

Tossing and turning wasn't the normal routine for this particular X5. He usually slept like a log. Even with everything going on at TC, Alec still valued his sleep.

When you have lack of sleep, and excessive amounts of boredom, you mind tends to think about things ᄄC that well ᄄC you shouldn't think about. Alec wondered what Max did on nights where she couldn't sleep, that had to of been often considering she had shark DNA.

Lately Alec had been getting less and less sleep. It was always that brunette that kept him thinking. She was hot… a mental image flooded his mind, forcing him to not be able to concentrate on anything else, but he full, luscious lips, toned body, soft skin …ᄄCᄄCᄄC What the hell? What was he thinking? If Max found out he'd be dead transgenic meat. Plus she was happy with ᄄCᄄC "rollerboy", Alec shivered in disgust at the thought of Logan.

Recently Alec was aware of his constant thought of Max, he knew what it meant, but was afraid to come clean. Max never looked at him that way. To Max, Alec was like an annoying brother. He wanted to be more.

"What was it she saw in Logan anyway? He wasn't half as good me!" Alec thought.

"And his hair is horrible." Alec compared it to his own neat hair.

"He was twice her age as well." At least Alec was as old as she was.

"What the CC!"

Why was he comparing him self to Logan? Come on it was Logan! He shouldn't need to compare, but there was something in him that she didn't see in anyone else. Alec couldn't believe jealousy was getting to him like this, Alec never got jealous.

He could have any other woman he wanted. Why would he want Max?

… It was because he could have anyone else.

Max was unique.

He had to make her feel like she was something more to him; that she wasn't just another girl.

Alec visualized Max in his arms, them cuddling on a remote beach somewhere in the Caribbean, soft white sand everywhere, ocean for miles and miᄄCᄄC

Wait What? The Caribbean? Cuddling?

Alec was even amazed with his thoughts.

He was getting some pretty ridiculous ideas.

Alec knew that he liked her; in fact he knew it was more than just like, he loved her… Alec turned on his lame excuse of a bed, so he faced the ceiling.

It pained him to know they would never be together. In Max's eyes he was just a friend. Alec wanted to be a Logan to her.

Even if it was "he's not my boyfriend, we're not like that."

Alec wanted to rock her world like Max rocked his.

He wanted to be able to run his fingers through her dark hair without getting hurt in anyway.

He wanted to tell her how much she meant to him and watch her eyes full of passion, tell him she felt the same way.

He wanted to flash his million dollar smile at her, and watch her go weak in the knees.

He wanted to buy her a dozen flowers just because she was his.

He wanted to keep her warm on cold winter nights.

He wanted her to love him back.

But what Alec wanted didn't really matter because none of it would come true.

Alec fell face first into reality… she was with Logan.

The Logan she couldn't touch.
