The plot, and Jane, is mine, but that's about it. If these were mine, this
whole virus bitch would be a thing of the past!!
Chapter 1
I don't know. Is there a future here? I'm looking down at him, while he's fast asleep. Who knew that the virus would expire after a while? I guess Renfro wasn't as much of a bitch as I thought she was. Or maybe not. After all, if I had gotten knocked up after our reunion, she'd want the kid. And this virus thing would probably have killed it. Anyway, it expired five months after we took down Manticore. Last night, as a matter of fact. Who knew?
I felt the change. It was like something dirty just left my system, and I ran and threw up for three hours. Logan was worried, so he made me go to the doc. Tests said the virus was gone. Like I never had it in the first place. No antibodies, no dead virus, just gone. We just stood there, stunned. For the first time in six months, he reached out and stroked my face. I was so scared. If I had lost him at that point, I would have gone to find Zach, and escaped to Canada with him. When nothing happened, we just looked at each other. And kept looking. Doc cleared his throat, and we broke apart. But not for long. We must have set a new land speed record getting to his place. We would have gone to mine, but his was closer. We pulled into the garage, hopped out of the car, and headed up stairs. Strangely enough, we didn't kiss, or do anything but hold hands. I guess we still had the caution of five months of separation. Either that or we knew we would be able to stop at one.
Maybe emotions really do make you weak. Maybe that's why my stomach was quivering, and my head was dizzy. Or maybe it was something else. Bling and Asha were here when we came in. Bling took one look at me, and then at Logan and asked if we were crazy, if one night of passion was worth Logan's life. Then he noticed our interlinked fingers, and looked closely at Logan face. I was getting pretty desperate, hysterical is probably a better word, and I started to laugh. Then I looked at Asha. My laughter died in my throat. She looked fallen. Bling hurried her out, and the penthouse was ours. Logan, in his exoskeleton, leaned over and kissed me. Hesitant at first, and then when nothing happened, more deeply. The fires that we had kept banked roared to life, and clothing went flying faster then a tornado. We couldn't stop until we had each other naked, and in our arms. Even the fact that we had to remove Logan's
Exoskeleton didn't slow us down.
Now we're here. And I don't know what to do. My heart is thumping as I brush a lock of hair off of his forehead. I'm so scared that the virus might pop back up, and surprise us both. Doc assured me that that couldn't happen without spores or something at least, and there were none. I guess that means we might be safe after all. All of a sudden, his eyes open. He looks so cute, blinking the sleep from his eyes.
"Don't leave. I'll make you breakfast." He said, trying to keep his voice neutral. I hear the fear anyway. My decision is made for me in that moment. I can't leave. It would kill a part of me.
"Logan, I tried to tell you something in the woods that night. Did you hear me?"
He looks at me, his eyes troubled. "No. I thought you were trying to say good-bye, and I didn't want to hear it. Ever."
I look him in the eyes, willing him to see what I'm going to say. "Logan, I tried to tell you I love you."
His eyes widen, and he looks at me the way a drowning man would look a life preserver. He grabs me with his surprisingly strong arms, and pulls me down into his arms. I touch his face, and find it wet with tears.
"Logan, why?" I ask, nervous. Maybe for him it was just sex.
"I never hoped for this."
"What?" I ask, confused.
"You. Mine. Me, yours. I love you too, Max. When I thought Id lost you, I lost part of myself."
Overjoyed, I start pattering kisses over his face. Then my pager beeps.
"I'll ignore it" I grumble at the interruption.
"Shit! It's 10:10. You're really late for work, Max." Logan looks at me, and I am reminded of my responsibilities. It's time to return to reality.
"Damn it. Well, I guess I'd better get moving. Am I invited for supper?"
"I'm just you meal ticket." Logan laughs.
"Of course. Why else would I be here?"
"Don't know." He grins, giving me a kiss.
I hop out of bed and get dressed. For now, I've got to blaze. I'll be back after work. Damn, but I love this touching thing.
End, Chapter 1
