Author's note: I was asked if I could write more so here it is and if you hate it feel free to tell me!

Bling shot Max a smile then left to get his supplies. Logan was still sitting in the doorway staring at Max and Zack. Max looked over at Logan and realized he still hadn't moved. "Logan? You ok you look like your watching a bomb." "Oh huh? I'm fine." Zack caught on that Logan was uncomfortable with the situation and that gave him some sense of control, he didn't know why but he found Logan appalling. Perhaps it was because he did such an awful thing to his Maxie he wasn't sure but he figured it wasn't that important.

Logan wheeled over to Zack looked at the bullet wound and began to wince even at the sight of it. The wound was still bleeding but it had begun to slow down the hole where the bullet had pierced him was relatively large. "That was a brave thing you did Zack." Logan had to admit. "Every soldier must make sacrifices." Zack said still looking at Max. Max shot a strange look at him but he gave her a wink and a smile, which made her forget the whole thing. Kate walked into the room looking for Logan, she looked at Max in a way that seemed to say she didn't approve of having her here with Logan. "Logan I'm sorry I have to go to work." Max flinched whenever Kate gave Logan a kiss, which was longer than necessary for a goodbye. Zack saw Max tense up he put his arm around her and pulled her close to him, she smiled and looked down at him placing a kiss on his cheek. Zack still would get shivers spread through his body even at the touch of her.

Bling arrived an hour or so later with his supplies. "Zack I couldn't find anything that will numb you from the pain." "Don't worry I will be fine without it." "If you say so." Bling began to unpack his tools and all of them seemed ever so familiar to Max and Zack. Max began to feel a little uneasy about having those used on Zack. "It's ok Max I will be fine, besides I have you to be here with me." "You better believe it." She said smiling at him. Logan couldn't stand both of them flirting with eachother he looked at Max and told her in a rather snappy voice "You know I certainly hope you two will get over the whole flirting thing soon, it's not something I would like to see!" Zack went furious he shot off the table only to meet Max blocking his way. "Zack it's ok really." Logan still remained in a snooty position glaring straight at Max. "Logan what was that all about?" Max said staring at him with fire in her eyes. While Max was arguing she realized that Bling was about to start operating "Forget you."

"Are you ready?" Bling had a knife in his hand getting ready to make the incision. "Yes I am." Zack swallowed deep and rest his head on the table. Max walked back to his side forgetting about what Logan said. When Bling began to cut Max saw Zack tense up and wince even though he was trying his best to show no pain. "Are you ok?" "Don't worry Maxie I've had worst pain." He tried to smile but couldn't manage to. When Bling found the bullet he grabbed it with tweezers and realized that it was partially stuck. "Zack this is going to hurt it seems to be stuck, I will be able to work it out but unfortunately I can't spare you pain." "I will be fine" Zack told him taking Max's hand in his and kissing it. Bling began to work the bullet loose "AAAARRRRRHHHHHH!!!!" Zack tried his best to not scream but he couldn't help it. Bling had almost had the bullet "OO GOD MAAAAXXX!!" Max couldn't stand seeing him in so much pain or hear her name called out when she couldn't do anything. "MMMMAAAXXX" Max didn't know how to help him but she couldn't stand to hear him scream her name in that way so the next time he screamed she slammed her mouth against his. Logan flinched whenever he saw what she had done. "I got it!" Bling announced whenever he pulled the bullet out.Their kiss became more passionate as time went on, Bling bandaged Zack up and left the room, and Logan followed suit. Logan could hear them from the next room and he hated it more than anything. "Are you ok Zack?" Zack looked at his now bandaged wound and then looked at her "I am now." Max ran her hand over his wound he grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him .

"Maxie your so beautiful." Zack kissed her on the side of her neck all the way down until her bare skin stopped. Max rubbed her hands over his muscles gently kissing them as she went. "Ohh…MMMMAAAXXX" Max smiled at her own success she had managed to make Zack weak. Zack realized that Max was the only one having any fun and he needed to take charge. Zack began to kiss Max so gently yet so hard "Z..z…Zack" he sat up with Max in his lap realizing that they were making quite a scene in Logan's apartment. "Max, maybe we should head back to your place." He said looking around. Max only nodded and smiled. Zack was still very weak from the pain and the surgery so Max had to help him up and back to her place.

When they got back to Max's apartment Max grabbed her tryptophan and downed a few pills then helped Zack onto her bed laid him down and made him take the pills. While Max was in the kitchen Zack tried to regain some of his strength he hated not having control of his body he hated even more having people take care of him. Max walked back into the room seeing Zack sitting up face in his hands. "Are you ok?" "Oh Max you scared me, yeah I'm fine I was just thinking." Zack brushed a strand of hair from Max's perfect face. Zack pinned Max down on her bead, kissed her on her neck and this time he had no intention on stopping.
