"So Logan what types of woman are you attracted to?" Logan quickly looked up .
"Excuse me." Logan rolled himself with all the food in his lap. He placed it on the counter.
"I was just thinking, Are all guys attracted to thin chicks with nice legs and hair?" Logan knew where this was going.
"Well, everyone has different types." Logan said looking up at Max . He began to chop the vegetables.
"What about you?" Max said looking down on Logan. He hesitated answering that question.
'Let's see... I like a girl that I can talk to."
"Anyone can talk, Logan." Max looked at Logan with her brown eyes. Logan sat back in his chair.
"I mean a person who is smart and likes a challenge. Someone I can talk to and have a real conversation."
"Cool. What about physically?" Max asked without making the question sound strange.
"I don't know... Decent looking..."
"Nice legs?" Max blurted. Logan began to look around the room to avoid Max's eyes.
"Yeah. I guess nice legs. What about you Max?" Logan quickly turned the tables on her.
"HMM. I like guys that are smart... I guess they have to be smart to understand my messed up body." she laughed. " Also I want him to beautiful, but not know it."
Logan smiled at Max.He began to work his culinary miracle, and an awkward silence filled the room.
"Damn." Logan said as he dropped a piece of carrot. Max jumped down to get it as Logan bend over to pick it up. Their hands met.
"Here." Max said as she grabbed the carrot off the floor. Logan and her eyes connected and for that few seconds, both wished they could take it one step further.
"Thanks."in unison

The rain poured over Seattle, the window cover with droplets. Max picked up the phone and began to dial.
"Yo! Cindy." Max said quietly hoping she won't wake anyone up.
"Hey boo! Where are you?"
"I'm at Logan's. I'm gonna stay here for the night."
"Boo! That's gre..."
"Don't say it GIRL! You know we aren't like that."
"Whatever you say boo.You-need-not-call-Original Cindy when you are at his house. It's cool."
"I need you to do me a favor. "
"Aiight"
"Tell Normal, I got sick... With the flu."
"Boo. You said that last week. He ain't gonna buy it."
'Fine tell him........um...."
"Aiight I got it. I'll tell him that my boo is sleeping with her mystery man and she will be UNABLE to come in today."
"Cindy don't make me come and kick you."
"Aiight. Do not worry Original Cindy got your back. You know it."
'Thanx"
"So give Original Cindy the dealio. Wussup?"
"There this chick that's staying with Logan."
"Your man got another lady!?"
" I mean... he's got a friend over and I don't like the vibe she gives off." Max played with the phone cord as she talked to Original.
"Suga, Is this lady FYINE?"
"I don't know. She okay I guess."
"Let Original take care of her."
"Sorry, she ain't playing the same field as you.Anywho I got to jet. Thanx"
"No Prob."

"Good morning Logan." Kelly strolled through the kitchen with her silk robe. Her makeup already done and her hair perfect.
"Morning to you. There's some coffee over there." Logan didn't look up from his morning newspaper. Kelly sat next to Logan as she drank her coffee.
"Hey Logan" Max came in with her sweat pants and a tank top. Her hair messy and curls out of place. Logan looked up. "Hey Max. Aren't you late for work?"
" I don't need to go in today. You mind if I hang out here ." Max sat down right on the other side of Logan, giving a glance at Kelly.
"No not at all." Logan gave a smile. Kelly looked at Max with annoyance.
