Title: A Special Birthday by Ringo-Gurl07
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or anything. I do wish I owned Alec but that's a different story!
Setting: Sometime during Season 2
Summary: Alec wants to have fun with Max on her birthday by entering a dance competition. She acts like it doesn't matter if they are in it or not, but what he doesn't know is that Max is really excited to be spending 'alone' time with Alec.
Chapter 1: Work, Crash-Routine Schedule.Right?
Max arrived at work, late as usual. Today would have been no different then any other except the fact that it was her birthday.
Normal saw her and started to say something about being late before she cut him off.
"Normal, I know, I know, I'm late again you'll fire me. But I also want you to remember I 'm the only one brave enough to deliver to Sector 5 and today happens to be my birthday. So, lay off a little." She said walking past him to her locker.
Alec who had been watching from a distance away walked over to Normal.
"Yo, Normal my man. What's up?" he said cheerfully.
"Packages not getting delivered, that's what's up." He mumbled in reply.
"Do you think I could take the day off?" he said giving a big smile to his boss.
"What? Ya, sure anything for my golden boy." He said smiling dreamily at Alec.
Alec was getting kind of uncomfortable under his gaze so he turned on his heel and walked over to the lockers.
He walked up behind Max and put his hands over her eyes.
"Guess who?"
"Alec!" she exclaimed.
"What? No, 'Alec I'm going to kick your ass'?" he said mockingly.
She lightly punched him in the arm with a smile still fully on her face. "No, because today happens to be a special day."
"What, is it Christmas already?" he said pretending that he hadn't remembered her birthday.
She frowned a little, thinking he had forgotten, "No, It's my birthday."
"Oh, I don't remember being told when our birthdays were?"
"That's because I just picked one when I got out."
"Cool, so what are you doing tonight?"
"I'm probably doing the same old thing I do every night. Go to Crash, drink, play pool, and try to make some money."
"How are you going to make money?" he asked.
"There's a dance contest there tonight. I told you last week that me and OC were going to enter." She looked at him, she couldn't believe he had forgotten.
"Oh, yah." He said remembering, "What song are you going to do."
"I'm doing two songs both Pre-Pulse. One with OC called Rock Wit U by Ashanti, and one by myself called Bring It To Me the Remix by Samantha Cole."
"Did you hear who entered the dance contest?" he said smirking.
Max thought hard, she couldn't imagine who Alec would know that would enter a dance contest. "Who?"
"Me." He said simply.
"Your joking?"
"Nope, and your doing it with me." He said still smirking.
"What?! I can't I don't even know what song you're doing let alone what to do!"
"That's okay, I'm doing the song Mesmerize by Ja Rule featuring Ashanti. And all you have to do is dance around like a back up dancer."
"Alright, but I've never heard the song before." She said still trying to protest.
"Okay, um.come over to my place after work. I'll have you listen to it."
"Aiight." She said smiling. "Thanks, maybe now I'll have some real fun!"
He just grinned, "Well, I gotta go. I took the day off so I'll see ya."
He got on his motorcycle and before Max could say bye he was gone.
She started to head out when a voice caught her attention.
"Yo, boo, where you headin'?"
"Hey OC! Sorry, I thought I would start getting those packages delivered, considering I have to meet Alec at his place tonight after work."
OC just raised an eyebrow and started grinning.
"I have to go over because he told me we had to do a dance together and I haven't heard the song. So, I'm going over to his place so that I can hear it." She said to the still questioning Original Cindy.
"Aiight boo. See you at 7 to get ready."
*~*~*~*~*
Max delivered packages all day until 4.
"Normal! I have to leave I need to meet Alec." She said impatiently.
"Fine," he grumbled, "Just make sure he's in good condition when he comes to work tomorrow." He said mistaking it for a one-night stand.
"Normal, I just have to listen to a song because we're in a dance competition tonight."
"Oh." He replied not really caring, "Now get out of my site before I fire your ass." He yelled while shooing her with his hand.
She road to Alec's and knocked on the door. It had been a long time since she had knocked on a door before, usually she just walked right in.
He answered it, "Hey Maxie!"
"Don't call me that" she said trying to sound annoyed but failing miserably.
"So, what do I have to wear tonight for our dance?" she asked changing the subject.
"Um.whatever you want," He answered.
"Okay, let's listen to this song."
They listened to the song Mesmerize by Ja Rule featuring Ashanti (A/N: Sorry I don't have the lyrics with me right now otherwise I would write them.)
After listening to the song twice Max got up and went to the door. "See ya around 9."
*~*~*~*~*
Max went home, showered and dressed in black velvet pants, a red tank top with a low neckline so some cleavage showed.
"OC, aren't you ready yet?" Max called from the living room.
"Yah, just give me a minute." OC replied.
OC came out wearing red velvet pants and a matching red velvet tank.
"Nice" she said looking Max over.
"You too, should we get going then?"
*~*~*~*~*
At Crash
"Hey Alec." A sexy red head said to Alec as he walked in.
"Not now Christie." He replied shrugging her off.
He walked straight over to wear Max and OC were waiting for him. Max looked beautiful. She was wearing black velvet pants with a red tank top. He was staring at her but was suddenly snapped out of his daydream when a voice called to him.
"Alec, are you aiight?" OC asked.
"Yep, I'm just looking at these two gorgeous females in front of me." He said grinning at the girls.
When Alec grinned at them OC simply shrugged while Max turned a bright shade of red.
"Why Max, are you blushing?" he asked smirking a little.
Max turned around quickly pretending to be interested in the first dancer on the stage, "No."
Max was up next with OC they started off together and synchronized. And ended up taking turns.
All Alec could do was stand their amazed. He was up next with Max. He pretended like he was the singer and Max took over on the girls singing part.
What Alec didn't know was that Max loved this song. She thought it made her think of him.
A few more dancer went after them and then Max nervously walked up to the stage. It was her turn alone. She got up there and waited for the music to start.
Come on, Come on
Tell me what you want, what you want from me
'Cause I come 100% guaranteed and
I can be the girl of your fantasy
Come on, Come, come come bring it to me
Alec watched Max with complete disbelief, he hadn't know she was that good. She was completely perfect in every way.
When the song ended Max came down and all of the men hooted. Alec walked up to her and hugged her.
"That was great Max! If you don't win the world must be coming to an end."
"Thanks, either that or me and OC, or me and you would win."
All of a sudden they heard the announcer.
".And the winner is.Max Guevara and Alec McDowell with Mesmerize by Ashanti! You two looked great together."
Max looked up at Alec and started to blush. Meanwhile Alec couldn't believe he was seeing Max blush for the second time in one day.
Suddenly the announcer bent down and talked quietly to somebody. Then he stood straight and spoke
"I have just been informed that it is Max Guevara's birthday, so, happy birthday! Also that Alec McDowell would like to share a dance with her."
Alec extended his hand to Max and she willingly accepted it. They started to dance to a pre-pulse song called Hero by Enrique Inglacious.
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Or would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonight?
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Or would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this.
Would you die now for the one you love?
Oh hold me in your arms tonight.
Max looked up from staring at Alec's shoulder. She raised her eyes to look into his eyes. There was no mask, she could read him like an open book. He felt like he was standing on a stage naked, because he was baring his soul to her.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
The song ended and they were still swaying to the beat they weren't aware the song had ended until they heard a strong rock beat playing.
Alec backed up, "Hope you had a good birthday." He said while blushing. When he turned to leave Max grabbed his arm.
"I did have a good birthday, and you know why?" she said.
"Why?" he asked confused.
"Because of you."
Now Alec was beyond doubt confused, "What?"
"It was a good birthday because you were here, and that you showed me that you do care about me. That's good to know especially since I rag on your ass 24/7." She said and smiled a little.
He smiled cockily and replied, "Always with the ass isn't it Maxie." Which was answered with a smack upside the head.
