Cabin Fever 9
SOUR CREAM
__________________________________
The room was silent for a moment. Max could hear the pounding of hers and Logan's hearths. He had never EVER revealed himself to so many people. Sure, Max knew about him but she had caught him with his hand in the cookie jar, Zack knew and Bling knew but only because he worked for Logan.
After the room was quiet for what seemed like an eternity, all hell broke loose
"WHAT?"
"YEAH, RIGHT"
"LOGAN!"
"AWW, COME ON"
That last remark by Kendra hushed everyone again
"Uh?" Logan frowned
"If you're going to make something up can you at least make it plausible? Look, if you don't wanna tell me then don't ok? I can handle being in the dark for a while longer"
Logan breathed a sigh of relief "I am pretty bad at making stuff up aren't I?"
"Boy you suck" Kendra crossed her arms
"I need to..." Zack didn't finish his statement, he just marched over to the bathroom and locked the door behind him. After a second Max could hear water running, he was probably splashing some on his face. She grimaced and thought 'Boy am I gonna get it this time, there's no way he's ever gonna give me the contact number now'
"I think I'm gonna go to bed now" Max took off in the direction of her bedroom and changed into Logan's sweatshirt. She wasn't sleepy at all but she was angry as hell with him.
She left the room only for a second to wash her teeth and growled in frustration when she discovered that Zack was still in the bathroom
"Next trip we take together I want my own bathroom" She mumbled
Max stormed into Logan's bathroom, grabbed his toothbrush, squirted some paste on it and brushed her teeth furiously
"Easy there, your gums are practically screaming in protest" Logan's soft voice startled her for a second before she turned around and edged him against the wall with the toothbrush
"Humbh whu bulub bolmlhub?"
"Spit please" Logan patiently told her. Max turned around and rinsed her mouth on the sink
"What the hell were you thinking revealing yourself like that?"
"You should be thanking me!"
"Thanking you?"
"Everyone would've known this wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for me" they said together
"No, wait, we're not doing this again" Logan raised his hand to stop her "look, I did what I did because the more people that know your secret the more chances you have of getting caught"
"You should listen to yourself and take your own advice Logan! You have made so many enemies with Eyes Only! What if the cabin was bugged?"
"Why would our cabin be bugged? And even if it was you would be in as much danger as I would. Weren't you the one who once told me that you've got people looking to either put you in a cage for the rest of your life, turn you into a science project, or kill you?"
Max moved closer to him, pressing her body hard against his. She raised the toothbrush close to his head and said in a small voice, her breath caressing Logan's face "Don't go all smart-ass on me when I'm pissed, I know a hundred ways to hurt you with this toothbrush"
Logan brushed a strand of hair away from her face "Max, I was just trying to protect you"
"Yeah, well I don't need your protection Mr. Knight in a shining armor" Max responded but her voice was much softer. She sighed and leaned against his chest, resting her head on the crook of his neck "Just don't do it again ok?"
"Ok" Logan kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her
"I should go to bed, see you in a while?"
"Yeah" Logan gave her a final squeeze before letting her go
*************
The door to Logan's room opened slowly. He blinked a couple of times
"Max?"
"Shh" Max closed the door behind her
"Come here" He moved over and pulled on the covers to make room for her but she shook her head
"No?" Logan frowned
"I don't think a couple of rolls of duck tape and some nails are gonna keep us up there"
Logan laughed and got off the bed, he tugged on the covers
"Logan, what are you doing?"
He spread the comforter on the floor and grabbed a couple of pillows, then he motioned for Max to lie down and covered them both with the covers. Max wiggled closer to him and sighed in contempt. He wrapped his strong arms around her and kissed her forehead
When Logan was just about to doze off he was interrupted by Max's hushed voice
"Logan?"
"Hum?"
"Why did you have a condom in your wallet?"
Logan smiled "Oh Max, every guy carries a condom in their wallets"
Max sat up in a rush "Wait a second, how long had that thing been in there?"
Logan laughed "Relax angel, I replaced it like a month ago. I know we need them when you're in heat"
Max sighed in relief and kissed him
"So, where did you get that CD?" Logan smiled mischievously
"What CD?"
"The one you 'used' this afternoon"
Max smiled and blushed, remembering her behavior "Kendra"
"Figures"
Logan yawned and closed his eyes. He tried to sleep but it was hard when he could feel Max's stare on him
"Max, go to sleep"
"I'm not sleepy" She whined "I only sleep like four hours a week and I have slept for two nights in a row"
"Sweety, you know we cant do anything, Zack could hear us"
"I know" Max said. Logan closed his eyes
"Logan?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell be about when you where little"
Logan smiled, she obviously wasn't going to let this go "When I was six my family decided to spend Christmas at the cabin.
Bennett and I shared a room and that year was the year that I started to doubt 'Santa' and I had been bugging Bennett non-stop telling him that I had serious doubts about Santa.
So Christmas Eve, Bennett and I staid up all night waiting for Santa to show up and around 3 am, he did! Well actually my dad did, he had rented a Santa costume knowing that we were going to stay up. It took me about a year to realize that but I think that was one of the best Christmases I ever had, waking up at the crack of dawn, opening presents, eating pancakes until we were about to throw up, playing with our brand new toys outside..."
Logan looked down when he felt Max's breathing slowing down. Her eyes were closed.
'Who would've thought a bedtime story is all you need to put an X-5 to sleep. She looks so young when she's asleep'
He realized that in appearance she was like any other 19-year-old, well, not really, most 19 year olds would kill to have her looks but she looked her age.
But when she was awake you could see, if you looked really close, the experience in her eyes. Her eyes reflected all the knowledge, the pain, the maturity and the fear that she had acquired throughout her life but now they also reflected the happiness and the love that she felt for him. And knowing that he was the one that brought that mirth to her life, that happiness and security that she lacked for so long made him the luckiest man on earth.
*************
Max opened her eyes and immediately regretted it. A small moan escaped her. She felt her dinner bobbling up and down her throat.
She reached for Logan but discovered that his warm body was not lying next to hers 'That's odd, he's NEVER up before I am' She stood up on wobbly legs and slowly walked towards the bathroom but her foot got tangled on the sheets and she almost fell down. She picked the bunch of blankets up from the floor cursing under her breath.
Suddenly she covered her mouth with her hand and ran to the bathroom, she knelt down in front of the bowl and retched.
It took her a moment to realize that she wasn't alone in the room. Logan was sitting next to the toilet, his bare back against the tub. He had his eyes closed and his head thrown back
Once Max was done heaving she turned to him
"You ok?" They asked at the same time
"Must have been something we ate" Logan offered her a hand and she sank down on the floor between his legs, leaning against his chest for support.
He whipped her face with the small cloth he was holding and then offered her some mouthwash
"Want some?"
"Hell yeah"
"What's going on here?" Zack and Original Cindy stood by the door, their arms crossed
Max and Logan didn't even bother to do something about their position, they were too weak to move
"Something we ate didn't agree with us, we're sick"
"Speak for yourself mister, I don't get sick"
"Max, you throwing up your dinner means you ARE sick"
"No I'm NOT, soldiers don't get sick right Zack?"
Zack raised an eyebrows "Actually Max, remember that day on the field when we were learning to survive in the wild and Brin was eating that fish but it's insides squirted out and she had to swallow them but became so sick that ended up dehydrating and..."
Logan moved Max aside and leaned over the bowl, he threw up a couple of times before sitting back down
"Ok, this I don't wanna watch" Original Cindy covered her eyes. Max just handed him the cloth
"Maxie, what I'm trying to say is that if you just throw up until there's nothing left inside of you to vomit you'll feel better"
"Zack, no. You know how much I hate retching and there's NOTING on this earth that can make me do it, NO-THING"
"Wanna bet? I'll make you vomit"
"Not a snowball's chance in hell pal" Max was shaking her head
"Ok, fine then I'll just go to the kitchen and make some breakfast. How about some green runny eggs?"
"Or a big bowl of snot" Original Cindy added. Max was looking a little green but not enough to throw up
"I know! Let's hold a spitting contest on her coffee mug" Kendra joined the conversation. She made a gagging noise and spit on the coffee mug that she was holding
"God no" Max closed her eyes and buried her face on Logan's chest
Zack smiled and took the mug from Kendra, he made a very loud noise from the back of his throat and held the mug about a foot away from his mouth. His spit was yellowish and it sloooowly dropped down to the mug
Max couldn't take it any more, she scrambled for the bowl and threw up. Logan's stomach was doing somersaults as well but since the toilet was occupied he grabbed the garbage can and got out everything he had left
"I think we did a good job" Kendra left the room, getting high fives from OC and even Zack
"We did didn't we?" Original Cindy smiled and patted Zack on the back
"Now let's get out of here before Original Cindy gets a whacked stomach herself"
*************
"I honestly don't know what it was" Logan was lying down on one side of the couch "I mean it could've been the dinner but we didn't order the same thing did we?" He asked Max, who was lying on the other end of the couch. Her feet were beside his ribs, a tick blanket covered them both. Logan was rubbing Max's cold feet under the blanket
"I honestly don't remember nor care right now Logan"
"Well I'm sorry Miss photographic memory"
Max groaned "The whipped cream"
"What?" Logan frowned
"The whipped cream, that was the only thing that both of us had" She reminded Logan
"Oh yeah" Logan stood up and went to the wastebasket by the fridge. He reached inside and pulled out the empty can of whipped cream
"Damn" He exclaimed
"Boo how could you eat that shit? It expired so long ago I'm sure there were multi cellular organisms evolving in there. It must've tasted like hell" Original Cindy had been reading over his shoulder
"It did taste a little bit funny" Max recalled "but the... ice-cream tasted so good I sort of ignored the taste"
"What flavor was the ice-cream?" Kendra asked
"Hum... I don't know, something sort of sweet and spicy"
Logan coughed, trying to muffle the laughter that overtook him
"Hey suga, you aiight? If ya planning on retching again you betta inform Original Cindy so she can move aside"
"No, no, I'm fine"
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure"
"Well I'm hungry" Max informed everyone
"How can you possibly be hungry?" Kendra wondered
"She's always hungry" Zack answered for her. Max threw a cushion in his direction but he caught it easily
"I'll make something. How does chicken soup sound?" Logan offered
"Move you ass back to that couch mister, let Original Cindy do all the cooking for now"
Max groaned "Cindy please let him cook, if there's anything on this earth that I'll be able to hold down it's his soup" Max begged
"You two are sick and I'm gonna take care of you weather you want me to or not" Original Cindy informed her
"Look, I'm fine ok? Really, I'm feeling all better" Logan tried to convince her but she wouldn't have it
"You get up from that couch and I'll put a smack down your ass! Now Kendra, come over here and help me with this whole cooking bitch"
Kendra took out a pot and filled it with water, Zack opened the fridge, grabbed and apple and sat down on the counter
Original Cindy placed a hand over Max's forehead and winced "Hun, I think you have a fever, you're burning up!"
Max clasped her hand over OC's mouth "No I'm not" She said out loud and then added in a much lower voice "It's my second day of heat, I'm gonna be all hot and bothered for the next 24 hours"
"Well guys I would love to stay here and chat but unfortunately I have other plans. I'm heading over to the mountain to see if it's open and I can get some skiing done" Zack pointedly stared at Max while he said that before leaving and closing the door softly behind him
"You know, we really ARE ok, I don't wanna stay inside all day, could we p l e a s e find something to do?" Max pleaded
"Max, I don't think skiing is a good idea. I mean, what if you get all queasy on your way down and slam against a tree or something?" Kendra stirred the soup while trying to talk Max out of leaving
"We don't have to go skiing, we can just go shopping or something" Max whined
"Shopping for what?" Original Cindy pointed out
Logan smiled "I have an idea. Max, do you remember that crowded place we drove by last night?"
"Yeah?"
"I think it was a club or something like that"
"Maybe we could go check it out tonight, hang out" Max was getting exited with the idea of leaving the house
"Gurls, Lets. Go. Shopping!" Original Cindy ran for her purse
"Oh no no no no, stop right there girl! NO ONE is leaving this place until I've had some food" Max demanded
Logan smiled "Why don't I take over that soup? Over a year of knowing Max, I've learned the fine art of cooking fast for my sake" The comment earned him a slap on the arm from Max but he shook it off quickly and got to work on their meal
*************
"Boo, this thing is screaming your name" Original Cindy held up a black shirt
"Woah, no way! I'm not wearing that"
"Aw come on Max it's beautiful" Kendra touched the silky material
"Then YOU buy it" Max crossed her arms
"Max, if I had your body I would. What's the point of exercising if you don't show off?"
"Feeling good about myself, staying in shape, being able of ride my bike at top speed halfway across the city without getting tired..." Max rambled on while being pushed towards a dressing room by Original Cindy
"Gurl, resistance is futile, try it on and then we'll talk. Here, try this too" She handed Max some black, hip huggers leather pants
After a few minutes Max emerged from the room
"Damn Boo you're swinging for the wrong team!"
The shirt was short, ending a few inches above her navel. It was backless and corset-like, the straps on the back were tight but an awful lot of skin was still exposed. The pants were extremely low with laces that went all the way from her hip to the floor and they were skin tight. The laces revealed a small amount of her perfect flesh
"I don't know guys, I mean it's snowing out there!" Max pointed out
"So? We'll just have to get you a jacket won't we?" Kendra smiled
Original Cindy glanced at the price tag on Max's shirt and frowned
"Wait a sec, who's paying for all this?" She asked
Max reached into her back pocked and produced Logan's credit card, he had placed it there when they walked out the door, succeeding in two things, paying for Max's clothes and making her horny as hell
The girls raised an eyebrow
"I don't wanna hear it" Max walked ahead of them
"We didn't say a word" Original Cindy smiled "But we don't have to do we?"
*************
Logan was sitting on the couch, checking some messages on his laptop when his cell phone rang
"Yeah?" He answered
"Well, hello to you too" Max teased him
"Oh, hi beautiful. What's up?"
"Well, me and my peeps are having lunch at a small coffee place nearby, I was wondering if you would like to join us"
Logan considered it for a moment "I think I'll pass" He said finally
"Why?" Max leaned against the wall and cradled the phone to her ear
"I just got some information from one of my contacts on a hack that I've been working on for a while and I want to check it out"
"Figures" Max frowned "Only you would take your laptop with you on a vacation" She suddenly stood upright
"Logan, you actually brought your laptop with you?"
"Well duh" He frowned
Max smiled and suppressed a giggle "I'll see you later then" She said and hung up
Logan shook his head and continued checking his messages. He came across one titled 'Hey there handsome' and frowned
"Hey there handsome? What the hell?" He clicked on it and Max appeared on the screen. She was smiling and wearing only his robe as far as he could tell
"Hello my man" She giggled "It's four o'clock in the morning, you are dead to the world and I'm bored to death so I thought of making a small present for you. What do you say?" Max leaned towards the small camera, giving Logan a very nice view of her breasts
Logan sat back and smiled. Max hummed an unknown tune and slowly lowered the bathrobe from her left shoulder. She giggled and covered her shoulder again
"Ok, so I'm no good at stripping. I'm sorry"
"You would be surprised at how good you actually are" Logan told the screen. His grin spread when she sat back on his computer chair, not bothering with crossing her legs. The bathrobe didn't cover that much
Suddenly the door to the cabin burst open and in walked Zack, mumbling something under his breath
Logan jumped up and closed the laptop "Zack! What are you doing here?"
"I didn't take my wallet with me wen I left this morning" He said and searched his bag for the walled
Logan smiled "Did the great all powerful soldier loose his wallet?" he teased
"I did not loose my wallet, I just didn't take it" Zack shot back
"Yeah, right. I'll help you look for it"
Zack mumbled something that Logan couldn't catch and then he asked "What are you doing here all alone? Where is Max?"
"The girls went shopping. I had some stuff to work on so I staid" Logan searched under the couch and near the kitchen for the wallet
"What are you working on?" Zack took the abandoned laptop and opened it slowly
Logan turned just in time to see Zack taking the laptop
'Oh SHIT!"

Original Cindy placed a hand over Max's forehead and winced "Hun, I think you have a fever, you're burning up!"
Max clasped her hand over OC's mouth "No I'm not" She said out loud and then added in a much lower voice "It's my second day of heat, I'm gonna be all hot and bothered for the next 24 hours"
"Well guys I would love to stay here and chat but unfortunately I have other plans. I'm heading over to the mountain to see if it's open and I can get some skiing done" Zack pointedly stared at Max while he said that before leaving and closing the door softly behind him
"You know, we really ARE ok, I don't wanna stay inside all day, could we p l e a s e find something to do?" Max pleaded
"Max, I don't think skiing is a good idea. I mean, what if you get all queasy on your way down and slam against a tree or something?" Kendra stirred the soup while trying to talk Max out of leaving
"We don't have to go skiing, we can just go shopping or something" Max whined
"Shopping for what?" Original Cindy pointed out
Logan smiled "I have an idea. Max, do you remember that crowded place we drove by last night?"
"Yeah?"
"I think it was a club or something like that"
"Maybe we could go check it out tonight, hang out" Max was getting exited with the idea of leaving the house
"Gurls, Lets. Go. Shopping!" Original Cindy ran for her purse
"Oh no no no no, stop right there girl! NO ONE is leaving this place until I've had some food" Max demanded
Logan smiled "Why don't I take over that soup? Over a year of knowing Max, I've learned the fine art of cooking fast for my sake" The comment earned him a slap on the arm from Max but he shook it off quickly and got to work on their meal
*************
"Boo, this thing is screaming your name" Original Cindy held up a black shirt
"Woah, no way! I'm not wearing that"
"Aw come on Max it's beautiful" Kendra touched the silky material
"Then YOU buy it" Max crossed her arms
"Max, if I had your body I would. What's the point of exercising if you don't show off?"
"Feeling good about myself, staying in shape, being able of ride my bike at top speed halfway across the city without getting tired..." Max rambled on while being pushed towards a dressing room by Original Cindy
"Gurl, resistance is futile, try it on and then we'll talk. Here, try this too" She handed Max some black, hip huggers leather pants
After a few minutes Max emerged from the room
"Damn Boo you're swinging for the wrong team!"
The shirt was short, ending a few inches above her navel. It was backless and corset-like, the straps on the back were tight but an awful lot of skin was still exposed. The pants were extremely low with laces that went all the way from her hip to the floor and they were skin tight. The laces revealed a small amount of her perfect flesh
"I don't know guys, I mean it's snowing out there!" Max pointed out
"So? We'll just have to get you a jacket won't we?" Kendra smiled
Original Cindy glanced at the price tag on Max's shirt and frowned
"Wait a sec, who's paying for all this?" She asked
Max reached into her back pocked and produced Logan's credit card, he had placed it there when they walked out the door, succeeding in two things, paying for Max's clothes and making her horny as hell
The girls raised an eyebrow
"I don't wanna hear it" Max walked ahead of them
"We didn't say a word" Original Cindy smiled "But we don't have to do we?"
*************
Logan was sitting on the couch, checking some messages on his laptop when his cell phone rang
"Yeah?" He answered
"Well, hello to you too" Max teased him
"Oh, hi beautiful. What's up?"
"Well, me and my peeps are having lunch at a small coffee place nearby, I was wondering if you would like to join us"
Logan considered it for a moment "I think I'll pass" He said finally
"Why?" Max leaned against the wall and cradled the phone to her ear
"I just got some information from one of my contacts on a hack that I've been working on for a while and I want to check it out"
"Figures" Max frowned "Only you would take your laptop with you on a vacation" She suddenly stood upright
"Logan, you actually brought your laptop with you?"
"Well duh" He frowned
Max smiled and suppressed a giggle "I'll see you later then" She said and hung up
Logan shook his head and continued checking his messages. He came across one titled 'Hey there handsome' and frowned
"Hey there handsome? What the hell?" He clicked on it and Max appeared on the screen. She was smiling and wearing only his robe as far as he could tell
"Hello my man" She giggled "It's four o'clock in the morning, you are dead to the world and I'm bored to death so I thought of making a small present for you. What do you say?" Max leaned towards the small camera, giving Logan a very nice view of her breasts
Logan sat back and smiled. Max hummed an unknown tune and slowly lowered the bathrobe from her left shoulder. She giggled and covered her shoulder again
"Ok, so I'm no good at stripping. I'm sorry"
"You would be surprised at how good you actually are" Logan told the screen. His grin spread when she sat back on his computer chair, not bothering with crossing her legs. The bathrobe didn't cover that much
Suddenly the door to the cabin burst open and in walked Zack, mumbling something under his breath
Logan jumped up and closed the laptop "Zack! What are you doing here?"
"I didn't take my wallet with me wen I left this morning" He said and searched his bag for the walled
Logan smiled "Did the great all powerful soldier loose his wallet?" he teased
"I did not loose my wallet, I just didn't take it" Zack shot back
"Yeah, right. I'll help you look for it"
Zack mumbled something that Logan couldn't catch and then he asked "What are you doing here all alone? Where is Max?"
"The girls went shopping. I had some stuff to work on so I staid" Logan searched under the couch and near the kitchen for the wallet
"What are you working on?" Zack took the abandoned laptop and opened it slowly
Logan turned just in time to see Zack taking the laptop
'Oh SHIT!"
