Thanks for all the reviews…they made my day!



Chapter 2

"Zach?" Logan just stared his mouth open.

"Zach?" Max leaned over Logan's shoulder, to find Zach standing in front of them, holding a gun to Logan's head.

"Maxie?" Zach slowly the gun.

"What are you doing here?" Logan asked him.

"What are YOU doing here?" Zach asked.

"I asked first…"

"I asked seco--"

"BOYS! Zach, we're here for a simple vacation. Not to mention this cabin belongs to Logan's family. What are you doing here?" Max said cutting Zach off.

"Lydecker caught wind of where I was. I had to move fast. Since I had been here before…I just assumed no one would be here." Zach replied, eyeing Logan suspiciously.

Logan, who was also giving Zach a weird look, mumbled something about there not being enough space for all of them.

"I heard that." Zach said to Logan. "And there are two bedrooms, that's enough for the three of us." He finished.

"We weren't going to kick you out anyway." Max said flashing Logan a look.

"I'm going to go get our bags." Logan said as he walked out of the cabin towards the car.

'So much for nothing going wrong.' He thought to himself.



"So, what are the sleeping arrangements?" Zach asked Max while Logan was getting their bags.

"Erm, Logan and I in the main bedroom, and you in the guest room." Max replied cautiously. She pushed past Zach and headed to the kitchen. "What's in the fridge? I'm starving."

"You and Logan? Really?" Zach asked.

"Yep." She grabbed some bread and jam from the fridge and started making a sandwich. Zach didn't say anything.

"Do you know for sure you can trust him?" Zach asked.

"Zach." Max said, taking a mouthful of her sandwich. "I would trust Logan with my life." After a few minutes of silence, Zach left the room, and gave Logan a look when he walked in.

"What was that all about?" He asked when Zach was gone.

"Just the whole protective brother routine." Max said.

"I hope you didn't let him get to you." Logan said grabbing Max around her waist.

"Of course not…." She gave Logan a quick peck on the lips, then untangled herself from him. "Except, I think we should do less of the cuddling while he's here….for fear that he might try and kill you."

"Argh. He did get to you." Logan said.

"No he didn't. I'm just being cautious." Max said smiling. She kissed him again. "Now, I have to go sort out our stuff." She said walking into the bedroom.

Logan was left standing in the kitchen. 'This is going to work. I just need a way of making it happen.' He thought to himself. He looked out of the window towards the lake, where there was a small rowing boat tied down. 'Perfect.' Now all he had to do was persuade Max to come out rowing with him in the middle of the night. He could picture it. Moonlight, him, Max….and an engagement ring. 'Perfect' he thought again. Hopefully Zach wouldn't get in the way.
