A/N: English is not my mother tongue, so I apologize for any grammar and spelling mistakes.

Guys, I'm really sorry, that I took so long to update. I was just super busy with school and when I did find the time to write, I wasn't satisfied with the stories and I deleted them right after writing them. I just need time to come up with something that is okay for my standards. And I'm pretty sure, you have no idea what I'm talking about right now, so never mind. I know I haven't updated in over a month, so here is a little something. Enjoy! (^.^)

Though I think Alex and Max are both a little OOC.

"Hm." Alex's eyes might have been closed, but she was slowly pulled into consciousness. Yet it was so comfortable at the moment, she didn't want to get out of bed, so she snuggled closer to the warmth of her bed and tried to descend back into the land of the dreams, when suddenly she felt a little breeze at the top of her head. Her eyes fluttered open she blinked a few times to clear her vision when she noticed, that her head was resting on something warm, and she could hear a steady heart beat-

In a split second Alex shot up and turned her head to the right to see a sleeping figure lying next to her. 'What the hell?!' ,she thought and her eyes widened in realization. She was naked in her bed with a naked Maxwell Lord sleeping next to her, and her memories of yesterday night were fuzzy. Before her brain could process anything more though her ears picked up a drowsy "Good morning, beautiful." Alex covered herself up with the blanket and faced Max who was now looking at her amused and commented, "Isn't it a little late for that? I've already seen you naked."

Alex blushed at that and brought the blanket even closer to her body. "You-how- what happened exactly? Why can't I remember anything from yesterday?" she asked in confusion, a little embarrassed.

Max sat up and Alex couldn't help but let her eyes wander up and down his body, inspecting every muscle, even though she must have seen them already. "The world came to an end and we, as the lone survivors, have to ensure our species." That statement earned him an annoyed looked from Alex. "Okay, just kidding. I think we bumped into each other yesterday at a gala or party. I can't really remember and then we both had a little to drink. I took you home and then I think at some point we kissed, then you invited me into your apartment and given that I can't decline invitations from beautiful women, I accepted the invitation. You can figure out the rest." His face displayed amusement, as he could still remember how he had ended up naked in Alex's bed.

Alex's mouth opened slightly in shock, as she finally remembered; the gala, both of them wanting to leave, their little trip to a bar, Max taking her home later, their kiss, her letting him in the apartment and then their making-out session and then... Alex's cheeks reddened at the thought of her sleeping with Max, though it wasn't just a thought. It was a memory, it really happened. She could still recall their wet kisses, his hands on her body, his mouth exploring every inch of her. She had enjoyed how he had been gentle with her, but at the same time fierce and... what the hell? SHE had SLEPT with MAXWELL LORD! How the hell did these three words even fit in a sentence?! She didn't know. She had no idea how it had turned out like this -okay it was obvious how this situation came to be- but she wondered why she had allowed herself to lower her guard in the first place.

Max studied Alex's face. Judging from her expression and her loss of words she must be trying to somehow make sense of the situation. But what was there to try to understand when it was obvious what had happened? "Normally women don't show that kind of reaction when finding out that they've had sex wit me" ,Max stated, smiling. He found the sight in front of him quite entertaining.

Alex thought of what Kara would think of her if she were to find out what had transpired between Alex and Max in this bedroom, on her bed. And Alex was sure that her sister would find out eventually. Kara might not be the suspicious type, but she would see something as simple as discomfort and embarrassment if she were to pry the answers out of her sister. Though even more worrisome was Hank. First, he was just Hank. He would know if something was different just by looking at her and second, there was his powers. What was she going to do? Confess before either one of them found out and tell them right away, or wait until one of them confronted her?

"Come on, it couldn't have been that bad. Because I found our night rather satisfying and entertaining." Max interrupted Alex's chain of thoughts, a smug grin on his face. She looked at him slightly irritated, him being the last of her worries. "Look, we are both adults. We both drank a little too much yesterday, so can we just forget this whole…" Alex wanted to say 'mess' but waved around with her hand instead. She took the shirt that had been lying at the end of the bed and put it on.

Max's grin disappeared. "What if I don't want to just forget?" He paused and Alex turned to look at him. Thinking about his next choice of words he continued, "I really meant it when I said that I care about you." His sarcastic facade was gone he glared into Alex's eyes intensively now.

Alex looked at him, a little lost. "I really do care",he said, and Alex could tell that he really wasn't kidding. But that was exactly what really scared her. The sincerity in his eyes and in his voice scared the shit out of her, because she knew that he didn't just care. He cared more than just a friend and damn they've had sex. "Max I…" ,Alex was at a loss of words. What was she going to say? That she cared about him, too? That she knew that there was that kind of tension between them, whenever they got close, but can't act on her feelings because of all that stuff that had happened.

"Alex…It's okay." Max forced a little smile and got out of bed, the blanked covering the bottom half of his body. He turned his back on her and looked for his clothes.

Alex for some reason felt a little bad now. His eyes had displayed disappointment, something she had never seen in his eyes. She breathed out a curse as she found herself staring at his body again. Alex didn't really hate Max, but he just irritated her sometimes and even more so, it irritated her that she cared about him, too. Thinking about yesterday night had really made heart pound in her chest and secretly she yearned for Max's touch. What the hell?! She didn't want to admit it, but apparently she had really enjoyed the time with him. 'Oh screw this!' she thought and in instant she was out of the bed, turning Max around and kissing him on the lips, eagerly.

"Wha-" Max couldn't form any words, because of Alex's lips pressed against his. It sent electric currents through his body and he closed his eyes, kissing her back. His right arm wrapped around her lower back, pressing her even closer to his body and his left hand cupped her cheek. Their kiss was forceful and it lasted for a few seconds, until Alex retreated first.

Max had a confused look on his face that asked 'Why?'

"I..Just don't ask," Alex breathed out. She didn't want to say anything she would regret later. She had acted out on her desire just now and for once she wanted to let lose. Max and Alex eyed each other for a few seconds, the tension thick in the air. Alex's heart was pounding in her ears. They were so close, their bodies touching, pressed against each other.

"Okay." Max replied, it was almost a whisper as their faces inched closer again, until there was no space between them.

They kissed each other passionately and Max pushed Alex back on the bed. She had her legs wrapped around his midsection and she could already feel his erection grow. Her hands run up and down his back, while she felt his tongue dart into her mouth. Alex moaned in response and bucked her hips against him.

Max groaned, smiling down. Just as his hands on her hips moved upward to remove the shirt Kara's voice rang through the apartment.

"Alex?"

It caused Max to stop in his tracks and Alex to shoot up immediately with a look of shock on her face.
