So here is the ending and finished at quite a fitting time because it is just now officially Valentines day.
"What are you thinking?" Logan asked. Max had been staring at him for a little while in silence.
"I got the best friend, the work buddies, all in all I could be figured for a pretty normal girl. But I never had the prince, never though I could let someone in like that." She paused. "Maybe even a genetically engineered killing machine can be swept off their feet."
"You're the one who did the sweeping part I just came along for the ride." Logan teased.
"You know what I mean." Max said grinning back.
"I do," Logan expression became serious and his eyes held her with such tenderness she couldn't speak but that didn't matter because Logan pulled her in for another kiss. Time was lost and neither of them cared. They kissed and talked and joked and kissed and when the sun came up Logan could help but think of the symbolic connection of the night they shared and the sun heralding a new day. It was like fate was rolling out the red carpet.
"Are you ready to go home?" Max asked as the sun stopped it's heralding. She was leaning with her back against him so she had to look up to see his face. She didn't want to say it but wanted to get back before the dawn had lifted, everything always seemed kind of magical in the early morning.
"I would but I don't think I can let go." She smiled back up at him, as he squeezed her a little tighter, and gave him a quick kiss.
"Your just scared of going back down," she laughed. He inhaled sharply and grimaced.
"That too"
"You know in my training we learned that one of the best evaders of fear is to just not think about it."
"You volunteering be the distraction," Logan said with a wicked grin.
"Maybe," she said with a glint in her eye that turned his mind to mush. "Come on Romeo. Let's get back to the palace," she said as she got up.
Later when Cindy asked her what she and Logan did for Valentines Day she responded. "We had dinner, took in the sites, same old same old." O.C. responded with a "whatever" and rolled her eyes. But then Max couldn't see the stupid grin on her own face.
At 5:15 Max strode into Logan's apartment and found him in his computer room. She watched him for a moment then let out a fake little cough. Logan did a double take then a boyish grin appeared on his face.
"I've been waiting for you to stop by."
"You have another mission for me O great and powerful eyes only."
"No," he said simply. "just dinner."
"Like I said before, don't stop the world on account of me," she said seriously
"If it makes you feel better I have some recon you can do later," his grin was infectious. She rolled her eyes and headed off towards the kitchen. He rolled up behind her and took a gentle hold on her arm. She turned then let herself be pulled into his lap for a passionate kiss.
"If that was dinner I can't wait for desert," she joked. .
"That was just an appetizer." Logan said grinning. She kissed him again and well the dinner Logan had prepared had gotten a little cold before they finally got around to eating it.
THE END
