Part 11.
It was about 1:30 AM, and Max was trying to sleep. A knock on the window woke Max from any doze he'd managed.
"Come on in Michael," Max said groggily. He knew that Michael sometimes came at night. It was a ritual even now that he had his own apartment. The knock came again.
"Michael, I said you could come in," Max said as he rose from his bed and walked over to the window. But when he opened the window, it wasn't Michael who stood there.
"Maria?" Max said in surprise.
"HHHHjhioefcdenfcieHchjey Max, can I come in?" Maria asked him.
"Uh…sure," Max said and moved out of the way so Maria could get in.
"Thanks," Maria said and climbed in.
"Maria, what happened to you?" Max asked and touched her face.
"Let's just say that Skinn wasn't happy. Can I crash here?" Maria asked.
"Yea, but let's get you cleaned up first, OK?" Max said and laid his hand on her forehead preparing to make a connection.
"No, first you are going to put on some clothes," Maria said and looked down on Max's almost-naked body.
"Oh, yeah, right," Max said and blushed. He hadn't even noticed that he was only wearing boxers.
"Hey, if you like walking around in your underwear be my guest," Maria said and smiled.
"Shut up Maria and stop grinning," Max said as he pulled on his jeans.
"I can't help it, I mean you are the first alien I know that were boxers that says 'I'm an Alien. Are you?' on the back," Maria laughed.
"Oh, knock it off! You've had your fun! Let's get you cleaned up," Max said walking up to her.
"Max, you can't heal this, if you do, Skinn will know something's up," Maria reminded him.
"Fine. Let's clean you up the old fashioned way then," Max said and took her hand and led her into the bathroom he shared with Isabel. Max walked over to Isabel´s door and locked it. Maria sat down on the toilet and waited as Max pulled out the first aid kit. Max put some antiseptic on her wound.
"Ouch! That hurt!" Maria said to Max when the liquid entered her wound.
"Oh, suck it up DeLuca," Max said and laughed.
"Funny," Maria said sarcastically to him.
"I'm sorry for saying this but you look like a gang member," Max said to her as he put on a Band-Aid.
"I know," Maria answered in a low sad voice.
"Well I'll leave now so you can take a shower," Max said and walked towards his bedroom door.
"Thanks, Max, you're a really good friend," Maria said to him and smiled. Max turned to her.
"Anytime," he replied with a smile as he walked back into his room.
