Chapter 6: Annapolis, Max my name is Max. 6/7
"Alec, why are you doing this?" I ask from behind my blindfold.
"Well I know how much you missed your bike so..." he says taking my blindfold off. I am suddenly very glad I'd played along with his little game.
"Alec, How did you?..." I ask in amazement as I make my way over to the bike. It really is my bike. I can tell my baby from a million like her.
"Well it wasn't easy let me tell you. But I figured it was the least I could do."
"Little Lost Alec has grown a heart? I'm gonna have to get a reporter out here or something cause this is major world news."
"You better watch it those are some nice wheels and I wouldn't be apposed to just keeping them." he jokes with me. Alec and I have been hanging out together for a while now; he isn't as bad as I once thought. Being out here has changed him. I guess the world does that to people.
"That isn't all Max. There is someone I think you should meet."
I keep playing that moment over in my mind. I have my bike again. Part of my small little world has being returned to me. But that was the least of my surprises.
I remember once wanting to rip Alec to shreds for what he did to us. Early this afternoon I was kissing him.
Alec found the cure.
It has been two months since her last letter. And after a letter like that I can't wait for her call. I remember running over to Jam Pony as soon as I finished reading it and hounding O.C. for Max's number. She blew me off telling me that until she got the word from Max she couldn't give it to me.
Those two sure know how to drive a man crazy; they made me wait three weeks before giving it to me. I had it memorized before I got home and five minutes later it was programmed into my phone. And now a month, a week, and six hours later I'm still sitting by the phone waiting for her call. Wasn't that supposed to be the girl's job? Reversing the roles however was something Max excelled at so I just tagged along with it.
Much as I would love to honor her wishes if she doesn't call soon I am going to drive out there and break down her door. (I had tracked her down, a half hour after getting home and programming her number into my phone)
The phone rang and my heart stopped.
"Hello?"
"Hey. Me hitting you back."
"Max."
"Logan."
"So..."
"Anyways..." Ok so our conversation hasn't been that intelligent up to this point but I am still melting over the sound of her voice.
"Anyone ever tell you, you have the sexiest voice in the world?"
"Well Zach used to... and then there was this guy I used to know, he told me that I had the most singularly beautiful face that he'd ever seen."
"Really? Do I know this guy? Cause he's making me incredibly jealous."
"I think you two might of met sometime. I got your gift. Bast, nice touch."
"Well I thought so. Besides you left it and I figured you might want it."
"I'm still waiting for the surprise late night visits."
"Well I considered it then thought you might think I was coming on too strong. I remember last time you accused me of being bent."
"True...Do you still know everything about me too?"
"No...But I'm more then willing to learn."
"So I was thinking about maybe dropping by for dinner tonight."
"Yeah? Well that would be nice. I'd love to have you as always. Hope too quiet for you?"
"See I knew you knew where I was. O.C. kept telling me that you had no clue. But I told my sista that my shorty is ten steps ahead of the ten step program."
"Your shorty?"
"Only if you don't mind a genetically engineered killing machine for a girlfriend."
"No, I mind. But I wouldn't mind having my cat burglar back; there are some bad guys that need to be taught a lesson. And I wouldn't mind having Max back either."
"Hmm just Max and your cat burglar. I don't know if that is gonna work for me."
"We can throw in some kissing if you want, maybe some candle light dinners, bike rides through the streets of Seattle, I'd even go to the needle with you once and awhile if you wanted."
"Conquering heights, why Logan Cale you would do that for little ol' me. I'm breathless."
"Well I figure it's the least I can do."
"Will there be chess?"
"I don't know you beat me pretty bad last time I don't know if my prides recovered yet."
"Please. Pretty please."
"Did I mention the incredibly sexy nature of your voice yet?"
"Maybe. You didn't answer my question though."
"Yeah there will be chess."
"Great I'm in. I'll see ya in five." she said hanging up the phone.
"Max wait..." I plead to the dial tone. Hanging up I try again.
"The number you have dialed has been disconnected....." No it couldn't be. I try again and still the same message repeats in my ear. I am just about to give up hope when I hear someone picking the lock.
"Alec, why are you doing this?" I ask from behind my blindfold.
"Well I know how much you missed your bike so..." he says taking my blindfold off. I am suddenly very glad I'd played along with his little game.
