Author's Note #2: Smutty smut smut,
To write I don't have the guts.
So Max is going to keep her legs shut
While I stare at Logan's bare butt!!
Haha, like my little poem? Just something I whipped up in like, 5 seconds! I know I know, I'm a dork and I should get a life!! LOL, anywayz, on with the story!!
* * * *
Logan marveled at the beautiful, sleeping woman in his arms. He couldn't believe that she was his at last. True to last night's talk, they hadn't SLEPT together, but they LITERALLY slept together. Their legs were tangled together, one of Logan's arms were under her neck and on her shoulder and his other hand circling her tiny waist. Logan hadn't thought that Max would be up to the idea of cuddling, but there she was, snuggled up tight to him. Max really had been tired, the night before she had put aside all her thoughts on eating and went to sleep almost immediately.
Max shifted slightly in her sleep and she opened those big brown eyes of hers and murmured, " Morning."
" Good morning," Logan said, rubbing her shoulder.
" I like waking up in your arms," she giggled.
" And I like waking up with you in my arms," he replied, smiling.
" What time is it?" Max asked, propping herself up on one elbow and gave him a light kiss.
Logan checked his bedside clock, " Almost 9:30."
Max shot up, " Almost 9:30?! Oh damn, Normal's gonna fire my ass!"
Logan gently pulled her back down to him, " Relax, I phoned him already, you got the day off."
" Really?" Max asked, allowing herself to be hugged to him, " What'd you say?"
" I told him you had the flu, you were puking all over the place and he'll get a doctor's note."
Max grinned, " You are a much better liar than I ever thought you could be!"
" Thanks… I think," Logan said. He gave Max another squeeze and got out of bed. They both immediately missed each other's presence. Max watched as he stretched and she asked, " Ok if I hang out here today? I mean, I do have the day off," she smiled wickedly.
" Do you even need to ask?" Logan smiled, " You can go take a shower if you want, I'll go make breakfast."
" Ok," Max said, scooting out of the bed, " What Logan Cale culinary miracle am I going to be sampling today?"
" I don't know. I'm thinking pancakes."
" Sounds good."
" You want plain or blueberry?"
" Blueberry!" Max called out from behind the bathroom door.
Logan walked into the kitchen and was surprised to see Bling there already. He exclaimed, " Jesus, Bling, you scared me! What are you doing here?"
" We were going to go jogging today, remember?" Bling reminded him, " But, when I saw that you were… occupied, I decided not to wake you up right away."
Logan blushed, " You saw me and Max?"
Bling grinned and patted him on the shoulder, " You're a lucky man Cale."
" I know," Logan smiled, " And sorry, I completely forgot about jogging. Max took me up to the Space Needle last night and we didn't get back in until 2:30."
Bling raised an eyebrow, " That late? What were you two doing up there, watching rust form?"
" Haha," Logan said dryly, " No, we were just… talking," he said with a small smile, remembering last night's events.
" JUST talking?" Bling asked knowingly.
" It's my life Bling," Logan reminded him.
Bling held his hands up, " All right, I'll back off. I'll call you later to reschedule. See ya."
" Bye," Logan said, concentrating on making the pancakes.
Max came out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed after her shower.
She wrapped her arms around Logan from behind, " Hey."
" Hey," Logan said, smiling as she gently sucked on his neck, " Breakfast is almost ready."
" Awesome. I'll go get some milk," she said, letting go of him.
" Your seizures ok?" Logan asked, suddenly starting to get a bit worried.
" No worst than usual," Max shrugged, getting the milk and glasses out, " don't worry, I just felt like having milk for breakfast. It's not seizure related," she reassured him.
" Ok," Logan said, relaxing a little and throwing her a smile.
* * * *
" Logan! Get your skinny ass in here!" Alex bellowed.
" Why does everyone keep on insisting that I have a skinny ass?" Logan whined, " Hey Lexie."
" Where's Max? She didn't show up at work. Normal said that she was sick, but we don't get sick, we're immune to it. So where's Max?" Alex asked hurriedly.
" Right here sis," Max said, walking into the room, " what's up?"
Alex gave a sigh of relief and hugged Max, " Thank god, I thought Manticore got to you or something!" Alex gave Max a light slap on the arm, " How could you not tell me you won't be in work? I was worrying my ass off!"
" Relax Alex," Logan rolled his eyes, " we slept in, that's all." He realized what he said and covered his mouth, " Oops."
Alex turned to Logan and raised an eyebrow, " What? You guys slept in? Oh my god, are you guys…?"
Max smiled and took Logan's hand, " Yup."
Alex pounced on Max once again, " I'm so happy for you! Ok, I'll get out of your hair right now! Besides, Normal's going to have a cow if I'm back late from my lunch break. Max, you gonna be at Crash tonight?"
" Probably. See ya Alex."
" Bye Lexie," Logan said.
Once Alex left, Max burst out laughing, " She is just a bundle of energy isn't she?"
" Annoying is the word I'm looking for," Logan joked.
She slapped his chest lightly, " Don't be mean."
" I was just kidding," Logan said, taking her arm and pulling her to him for a hug. She went along with it willingly and he asked, " Want to go for a walk?"
" I thought you had Eyes Only stuff to finish."
" Eh, that can wait," he shrugged.
Max smiled to herself and said, " Ok, let's go."
" Hold on, just let me shut everything down, we'll go in 5 minutes."
" All right."
* * * *
" Cindy, Cindy!" Alex exclaimed, running into Jam Pony, " You'll never guess what happened! One hint: It's something you've wanted for a long time to happen."
" You found a rich, gorgeous lickety-chick for Original Cindy?" Cindy guessed.
Alex rolled her eyes, " Do you ever think about anything else?? Guess again!"
" Max and Moneybags are banging the gong," Cindy guessed again. Even though she knew it'd never happen, what with them moving along as slow as snails, it never hurt to guess.
" Pretty damn close!" Alex grinned, " You wanna know where Max was all last night AND this morning?"
" No way!" Original Cindy exclaimed, " She's with Logan right now?"
" Shh!" Alex shushed her, " They told Normal that she's sick, so we gotta pipe down, or he'll fire her."
" Oh, ok. Is Original Cindy's home girl gonna be at Crash tonight? Or is she kicking it with Moneybags?"
Alex made a face at her, " Don't call him that, you're dissing me too."
Original Cindy smacked her forehead, " Right. Sorry, I keep on forgetting you two are related. Why are you working here anyways? It's not like you need to."
Alex shrugged, " It's good exercise and I got nothing to do during the day anyways."
" Original Cindy would trade places with you in a flash. I can think of a helluva better things to do than work and listen to Normal's screeching."
" Oh, it's not that bad!" Alex exclaimed.
" Hey, yippity-yappers!" Normal screeched, " Get your behinds here! These packages don't deliver themselves!"
Original Cindy rolled her eyes, " You were saying?"
* * * *
Max and Logan walked down to the waterfront and Logan said, " You remember that day we were first here?"
" The day of the fresh chicken?" Max asked.
" Yeah, that's it."
" What about it?"
" I was going to kiss you that morning, but the damn police hover drone got in the way," Logan confessed.
" I would've kissed you too," Max replied, " I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get the guts to kiss you."
Logan gave his brilliant smile and pulled her in for a kiss.
When they came up for air, Max said, " You know, you're the only one who can make me weak in the knees."
