Chapter Tree – A Dance
Walking slowly through the crowd, trying not to be too obvious, she searched the room for him. She finally spotted him near the pool table, exactly where he said he would be. Lately she was looking for him more and more often... She didn't want to admit it, but something was growing inside her, slowly taking a place in her heart, this tiny little constant feeling about Alec... She didn't know what it was yet, or she didn't want to admit to herself that she knew exactly what it was, but it was sure buggin' the hell out of her.
He hadn't missed a second of her little manoeuvre. He too was looking for her with the corner of his eye. On his way to Crash that night, Alec had only one thing on his mind: Max. They were getting along so well for the past two weeks, he couldn't help but feel relief. Finally, she could look at him without that disappointment in her eyes that could get right to his heart. It wasn't much but still, at least she seams to be enjoying his company these days. They haven't spoke of her break-up with Logan yet and didn't seam to need to. They understood each other. He wasn't sure if the break-up meant that maybe, someday, he could have a tiny bitsy chance with her but hey!, he was very willing to take whatever would come his way, not get his hopes too high but still, at the bottom of his heart, wait for her. And in the mean time, he did everything he could to make her smile, make her happy from time to time, and he didn't miss one chance when they were together. He couldn't bare to see her sad. And lately, he's efforts seamed to be working, she seamed to need less and less cheering up… and she was smiling a lot more... and to "him"!
Max approached the pool table. It was Sketchy's turn to play and he wasn't about to ruin his shot by going at it to fast. Alec was sitting on a bar bench near the wall. He looked at her with a playful smile on his lips as she approached him. She was so beautiful, full lips, perfect body, wonderful hair…
When Max got to him, she wasn't sure of what to do next. Sure she felt sorry for her attitude and was aware of all the efforts he had made for Joshua. And then came a sign. She heard the song, sort of their song, from the other night. So she reached out for his hand and he accepted it, looking deep into her eyes. They walked hand in hand to the dance floor, nervously waiting for the moment where their body will finally meet. They hadn't dance together since that night and their bodies seamed to be missing it. They rarely needed to talk when they were together. It was like they were meant to understand each other. They both wanted to be near each other so much these days. But even before her break-up with Logan, they always manage to saw each other every day, that must mean something. Of course, neither of them knew exactly what the other was thinking, but since no words were required between them, they would know at contact. For a week now, every occasion was a good one to brush against each other. Reach for the same package at word, for the same pool cue here…
And there they were, on the dance floor, facing each other, still holding hands. Electricity ran through Max's entire body when Alec brought her hands to his neck. He then slid down her harms, to her shoulder then to her waist to bring her closer to him. She could feel the heat of his body through their clothes. She felt her mouth go dry. God, why was she feeling like that? They started to slowly move to the beat of the song. Alec interrupted her intern interrogation when he reached for her chin so she would look at him. "Hey." He said softly. Like they had been apart for days and wanted to say hi. But it has been merely hours. "Hey" she said back, burying her face in his strong shoulder.
Alec was overwhelmed by all the feelings that ran through his body, exactly like the last time they had dance. What kind of power did she had over him to make him loose all control of his emotions like that. God, and her smell… it was intoxicating. He put his head on the top of hers. It didn't seem like enough. She was so perfect, her smell was so perfect and he wanted it all for himself. He closed his arms around her tighter, feeling the soft skin of her back that wasn't cover with her top. He felt her sight and tighten her embrace around his neck too. Totally lost in the moment, he buried his head in her shoulder, feeling her warmth so close to him. Around him. On him.
"I could stay like that for ever" she thought. He was holding her so tight to his body, no air was getting through between them. In that moment, she came to realise she wanted to be close to him for a long time now. It was perfect. Then, when she tough she couldn't feel any more, he buried his head in her hair, near her neck. God he was so warm, and he smelled so good. His lips were only an inch away from her skin. Wanting to be closer to him, her arms still around his neck, she started to play with the fine hair on his neck. When she gently stroke his bar code, she felt him shiver and again tighten the embrace, if such a thing was possible.
Then the song was over. They didn't notice at first, still lost in each other. They only did when someone accidentally bump into them while dancing to a faster rhythm. It felt like they awaken from a very strange and beautiful dream. Slowly, they looked at each other. Completely confused by what they had just experienced. Gently, Max pulled away, trailing her hands along his harms doing it. Why was this stupid song so short?? Alec seamed to think the same thoughts as her, locking his blue eyes with her browns. Suddenly aware of the world around then, they really let go of each other.
Max – "I… I have to hum", now readjusting her top, "get back to Joshua…., I have…"
Alec – "Yeah…, hum, right, you should get back… to Joshua…, pool…", he said, pointing toward Sketchy who was talking to a petite red hair, running a hand through his hair.
Max – "Ok…. Hum, .. later…." She was visibly uncomfortable.
Alec – "Yeah….ok…"
Then they just turned around very quickly from each other and went their separate way. Max started to walked quickly back to her table to join Cindy and Joshua. If one thing was for sure, she couldn't look back at Alec, or she would have ran right back into his harms. What was that?
