{Cabin} one week later: March 14th
As Max continued to get better, and Logan continued to mope, they avoided each other for days. Bling brought Logan meals in his new room (one with a door) and Tinga and Jondy looked after Max. Finally, one day, Tinga got tired of Max and Logan avoiding each other. Getting Jondy and Bling to help, she devised a plan...
That day, Tinga and Jondy forced Max upstairs as Bling grabbed an egg timer and went to Logan. Max and Logan wouldn't ever meet each other's eye. Not even on speaking terms.
Bling went over to Logan and situated him in a chair.
Creasing his eyebrows, Logan asked impatiently "What' going on?"
Tinga, Jondy and Bling shared a smile ((hope this works)) Bling thought as he drew up another chair across from Logan's.
"Ok guy and gals. Here's the deal." Tinga began, sitting Max down in the other chair. "You two will sit here, like so." she said as she abruptly pulled the two chairs together so they were touching, then she positioned their faces a few inches from each other. Max and Logan pulled away at once, so they were once again feet apart.
"What is this?" Max asked angrily
"We aren't finished" Jondy said smirking
"The two of you will sit here for five full minutes, staring each other in the eye. If even for a moment, either looks away, then we will start the time over again.
"Got it?" Bling asked
"No way" Max said, trying to stand up, but they pushed her down again.
"Yes way" Jondy said, once again forcing their faces inches apart. Bling set the timer, and called out
"Go."
Reluctantly, both Max and Logan complied. Quickly becoming uncomfortable, Max restrained from looking away. ((this is crazy...what are they trying to do?)) continuing to stare, Max became aware of Logan's breathing...his warm breath hitting her in the face...Max began to feel less uncomfortable, and more....at ease, content to look deep into his blue eyes.
Logan gazed into her brown eyes with a hunger that would never be satisfied. At first he had been annoyed at this seemingly trivial game they were playing, but he quickly became comfortable((I don't know what this is....but it seems to be doing something....))
Max sensed a change in Logan. His face softened, his jaw no longer set, and a smile playing on his lips.
Seeing him smile, Max grinned back, and her gaze shifted to his mouth and back again.
Not being able to stand it any longer, Logan quickly leaned forward and drew Max to him.
Max's eyes were wide open as the kiss began, but she quickly closed them as she was drawn into it ((those caniving little...)) she thought, becoming distracted as Logan deepened the kiss and pressured her to do the same. Coming apart for air, they both grinned at each other, then, as they were leaning in again, they were interrupted by a muffled giggle from the doorway. Turning as one, Logan and Max saw Tinga, Jondy, and Bling looking very amused.
"Ahem" coughed Bling, smiling very widely and wiggling his eyebrows
"Took you long enough. Can I say I told you so?" Jondy asked impishly
"No!" Logan and Max said in one breath, both reaching for the nearest pillow. Ducking, Jondy, Tinga, and Bling started out the door, then paused.
"Out!" Logan said, grinning from ear to ear, and he threw a pillow halfheartedly.
Laughing among themselves, all left, closing the door softly behind them.
Logan turned back to Max, still smiling.
Then Max said, "I meant it when I said I love you."
smiling sheepishly, Logan replied "I know...I was just being...."
"Hmm...stupid, ignorant...childish? I could go on forever!"
"So could I" he said, as he put his hands on the sides of her head and looked her in the eye. Laughing happily, Max attacked his lips ferociously.
{Cabin} March 15th
The next morning, Max and Logan woke to a knock on the door. Sitting up from her comfortable position of resting on Logan's chest, Max looked around desperately for a shirt.
"Hey, calm down. Just get under the covers" he said, laughing as Max snuggled down into the covers until just her head poked out.
"Come in" Logan called out
Walking in, Jondy and Tinga carried trays, and chimed "Room service." They walked to the bed, quickly setting the trays down and lowering their eyes. Amused, Logan chuckled and thanked them. Max looked up to see Tinga giving her a look, and she blushed as they left. Playfully shoving Logan, she said
"Now I'll never get any peace, between them and OC"
Laughing all the harder, Logan handed her a tray "Sorry, I didn't realize....if I had known I wouldn't have..."
Max interrupted him saying, "Hold that thought" Then, she kissed him deeply, drawing back to gaze into his eyes. "You were saying?" she asked sweetly, smiling coyly
"Ahh, well, that settles it then, never mind" he stumbled
Laughing together, they enjoyed their meal.....Max looked up from hers when she noticed Logan not eating
"What?" she asked as he stared at her
"Nothing. Just that you're the most beautiful thing I have ever set eyes on."
Blushing once again, Max turned away, only to be held back by Logan. "You're so beautiful Max" he said, awe in his voice. Thinking of a way to lighten the mood, Max grabbed her dessert and smiling mischievously, she shoved it in Logan's face. Grinning through his new face mask, Logan said "Very funny" as he too grabbed his cake and threw it at Max. Quickly picking up her leftovers, Max began a food fight, ending with a very messy Logan, and a not quite as messy Max. Laughing gaily, Max got up and said
"We better get cleaned up before they come to get the trays..."
Nodding in agreement, Logan replied "Good idea" and watched Max walk into the bathroom, covered in pudding and cake. As he lay back down on the pillows he thought happily ((she chose me...))
Just then Max called out from the bathroom. "Whatever happened to Mr. Kelly?"
"I turned him in"
Letting out a loud snort Max said "You're learning....but I'm still waiting"
Confused, Logan asked "For what?"
Max poked her head out from the shower curtain, "For you to get in here already!"
Smiling happily, Logan got in the makeshift chair and wheeled over. Max had drawn a bath and she was covered in soap suds. Max laughed when she saw the delight on his face, and helped him in....
--Going downstairs together, Max carried Logan, and they were stopped at the bottom by the others.
"Afternoon" Bling said grinning
"Ahh...yeah." Logan stammered, clearing his throat nervously
Blushing, ((I seem to be doing that a lot lately...)) Max set Logan down and walked past them into the kitchen. She was followed by Tinga and Jondy, while Bling stayed in the hall with Logan, to bug and pester no doubt.
Before Bling could say anything, Logan said "Not a word." and gave him a look that said he meant it.
"Who me? I wouldn't say anything." was Bling's reply, as he grinned openly
"Yeah, right"
"So....how was your night? Sleep well?"
Flushing, Logan said, "That's none of your business" and wheeled away
-------------------
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jondy and Tinga were fishing for information from Max.
"So, how was your night?" Jondy asked
"Sleep well?" Tinga added
Max glared at them until she couldn't help it anymore, and laughed. Then, blushing, she said, "That's none of your business" as she threw a towel over she shoulder and sauntered out of the room.
Off in dreamland, Max wasn't watching where she was going, and she ran into Logan who was coming into the kitchen.
Stuttering Max said, "Oh..um...sorry"
Logan nervously rubbed his chin, then grinning sheepishly he muttered "sorry"
"Don't be" Max said, smiling once again, "I'm not really."
"Me either" he replied returning the grin.
"Want to go for a walk?" Max asked
"Sounds good to me"
"Great" then, going behind him and pushing him out the door, Max added "You're going to have to order a new chair"
"Yeah, I was thinking of wings this time, so if I get thrown off a building again...."
Softly playing with his hair, she said "You dope" as they continued down to the lake.
Standing in awe at the majesty of the sun filled lake, and the deep blue mountains towering over it, Max said "It's beautiful"
"Yeah" Logan answered, staring at Max as the sun hit her face and practically made it glow.
"Hey" Max said, waving her hand in front of his face "You're supposed to be enjoying the scenery"
"I am" he replied with a half, smile/smirk on his face.
"Well aren't you just the regular Romeo" she joked
"Yup" he agreed "And you are Juliet"
"Yep" Max said as they made their way under a willow tree. Logan lowered himself onto the ground, groaning as his back cramped up.
"What's wrong?" Max asked, also sitting down
"My back..." Logan said as he tried to maneuver so he could rub it.
"Here, let me" she told him, getting in position behind him
"No, it's fine" he protested
"Relax" Max insisted as she began kneading the hard knots that had formed. Giving in, he sighed and relaxed as her hands worked their way around his back, massaging the tired and sore muscles. Somehow, Max's hands came to rest on his sides. Sighing contentedly, Logan leaned back, pulling Max's arms around him with his own. Feeling like it was the natural thing to do, Max kissed the top of his head, and leaned back against the tree, totally at peace.
Pushing Jondy away from the window, Tinga looked down towards the lake.
"Hey!" Jondy said in protest "I can't see! What are they doing?"
"The just sat down...now Max is rubbing his back...."
"Let me see!" Jondy begged, pushing her sister out of the way. Then, smiling at the scene below them, Jondy closed the curtain.
"Why'd you do that?" asked Tinga unhappily
"No reason. Let's leave them alone for now." Jondy answered, winking at her.
"Ahhh, ok..." Tinga agreed, smiling.
