Cabin Fever 10
BLACK COFFEE
****************************
Max hung up the phone and returned to the table
"Is your boyfriend coming"
"He's not my boyfriend and no, he's not" Max informed Original Cindy
A waiter arrived with their coffees and the girls thanked him
"Can I take your order or are you waiting for someone else?" The boy asked
"Can you give us a couple of minutes? We haven't decided yet..." Max glanced at his nametag "Mark"
She stirred her coffee with her finger and licked the remains off it, pointedly staring at the boy
He gulped, nodded and left. Original Cindy shook her head
Kendra took the steaming cup in her hands and took a small sip. The mug slipped from her grasp and she gasped
"Oh it's hot! It's hot!" She fanned her tongue with her hand
The hot liquid ran all over the table, some of it dripped onto the floor
"I'll get some napkins" Max stood up and turned. She slammed into Mark's solid chest
"Oh, I'm sorry" Mark took her shoulders to steady her
"I'm not" Max rubbed herself suggestively against the boy's body. He closed his eyes and whispered to her in an urgent voice
"There's a bathroom for employers that no one uses on the back, wanna go check it out?"
"Definitely" Max whispered back
Mark took her hand and led her to the back of the coffee shop. As soon as they were out of sight Max attacked the boy, running her hot little hands up and down his well shaped abs. She tugged on his shirt and almost ripped it off his body. The boy leaned down and kissed her hard
Original Cindy had seen Max disappear with the waiter. For a second she thought about letting her go with him and get her itch scratched but she knew Max would hate herself afterwards so Original Cindy sighed and went to rescue the boy and Max from herself
*************
When Original Cindy opened the door she didn't know what to expect but what she saw took her by surprise. Max had both legs wrapped around the waiter's hips. She was eagerly sucking on his neck and he was trying to ease her out of her pants with little success
Original Cindy ran to Max, yanked her back by the hair and slapped her hard on the face
Max gasped and shook her head "Thanks, I needed that"
The boy tapped her on the shoulder "Hum, could we like... go on? Do you want me to get this girl out of here?"
Max turned around to look at her pray. Mark had a line of hickeys that went from his neck to his chest. He was shirtless, his blonde hair tousled, lips swollen from the kisses
"If you'll excuse me, I think I'm gonna go and throw up now. Original Cindy, would you put a smack down his ass for me?"
"Sure thing suga but where are you going? Are you feeling ok?"
"I'm fine, I'm just going back to the cabin before I do something stupid"
"But Logan is gonna be there, I thought you didn't want anything to happen between you two"
"Logan knows about this shit, he won't give in that easily" Max explained quickly before rushing to the cabin
Mark was staring at Original Cindy and she frowned
"What? You think that was weird? That wasn't even the tip of it pal"
*************
Logan ran as fast as he could but he knew that he would never be able to reach Zack in time unless a miracle occurred
Zack was seconds away from finding out about the relationship. Logan was seconds away from dying on the spot and there was nothing he could do to stop it
"LOGAN!" Max's voice reached his ears before she even opened the door
Zack looked up and dropped the laptop on the couch. Logan reached for it quickly and snatched it away
"It's... confidential" He quickly informed Zack
"Logan! I need some..." She stopped mid sentence when she realized that they weren't alone
"Huh, some... Zack, what are you doing here?"
"I didn't take my wallet with me this morning"
Max sighed "I'll help you look for your missing wallet"
"It's not... argh to hell with it" Zack gave up and continued looking
"Found it!" Max crawled out from under the table and tossed Zack his wallet
"How did it get there?" Zack wondered out loud
"Beats me... don't you have somewhere to be?" Max tapped her foot against the hard wooden floor
Zack frowned but left without another word
As soon as they were alone Logan sank down on the couch and sighed with relief
"You ok?" Max asked with concern
"Fine it's just that your little present almost got us caught"
"What?" Max frowned
"Zack walked in while I was watching it and I managed to close the laptop in time but then he wanted to know what I was working on and thankfully you came in and stopped him..."
Max wasn't hearing him any more, all she could hear was the pounding of her hearth. She slowly covered Logan's mouth with her hand and smiled
"Wuf?" Logan tried to ask
"What?" Max bit her lip
Logan removed her hand "What?"
She stopped the questions by covering his mouth with her own. Logan broke the kiss almost immediately
"You do realize we are alone" Max frowned
"Max..." Logan sighed and looked away "You... you taste different, you smell different"
Logan saw Max's lower lip quiver. She had forgotten about the boy at the coffee shop, she was too engrossed with Logan to remember but now it all came back to her
She sank down on the couch and tried to hold back tears
"Max?" Logan kneeled in front of her and rubbed her knee
"I... I couldn't control myself! There was this waiter at the coffee shop that kept flirting with me and I couldn't..." Max broke down. Tears rolled down her cheeks freely. She had betrayed Logan's trust and now she couldn't live with herself
Logan gulped. He didn't blame Max, he blamed her genetics "Max, how far did you go sweetie?" he talked to her like he would to a small child
"Not all the way. I was beginning to gain some control and was about to stop the boy from pulling my pants down when Original Cindy walked in and slapped me"
"So you just kissed him?" Logan smiled a little
"JUST kissed him? Yeah, I mean... I would never have sex with anyone but you. Since we became a couple I've been able to control my... itch a little bit more. It's like suddenly I don't want anyone but you"
Logan's smile broadened "I can live with that"
Max frowned through her tears "So you forgive me?"
He whipped the tears away from her face with his thumb "Max, there's nothing for me to forgive. I can't hold you responsible for your feline DNA can I?"
Max laughed and threw her arms around his neck
"God, I love you" She said before kissing him deeply
*************
Max moaned Logan's name and searched with her hands for something to hold on to. She grabbed the quilt that was below her and slammed her fists against the hard wooden floor
"Oh God Logan!"
He placed kisses all over her throat and chest
"Logan don't stop!" She hit the floor with her heels in an effort to get him deeper inside of her
Logan groaned at the new waves of sensation that Max's moving provoked
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
"The door" Logan moaned
"Ignore it! Stop now and I'll kick your ass!"
The pounding on the door increased
"WHO THE HELL IS IT?" Max screamed
The person on the other side of the door just knocked harder
"Maybe Cindy?" Logan asked in a throaty whisper
"She would answer my question"
"Zack?"
"Would've broken down the door by now"
KNOCK KNOCK "HEY!" It sounded like a man, an angry man
"This can not be happening" Max stood up, leaving a sweaty, flushed Logan behind. She grabbed one of his dress shirts and slipped it on, leaving most of it unbuttoned she stormed over to the front door and opened it forcefully
"WHAT?" She screamed
A man around Logan's age was standing there, an annoyed expression on his face
"Look young lady, my family and I are trying to have a peaceful vacation down there but you and your 'friend' are making so much noise our kids are scared! They think the roof is going to fall on their heads! So if you and your partner could control your teenage hormones we would be very grateful but if you don't I'm going to have to call the manager" The guy crossed his arms and waited for Max to respond
"Angel? Who is it?" Logan asked
"A party pooper from downstairs" Max yelled back, pointedly staring at the guy
"What?" Logan left his room to join Max but he stopped. His eyes widened
"Jason?"
"Cale?"
Max frowned "You know this guy?" She asked Logan. He came up behind her and wrapped one arm around her waist, offering the other one to the guy
He took it and shook it before pulling Logan into a hug. He had to let go of Max in order to do that
"Oh man, it's been so long! How many years?" Jason asked
"Well, six or seven" Logan answered, he turned to Max "Max, this is Jason, we went to high school together. Jason this is my... girlfriend Max"
Jason shook Max's hand "Very nice to meet you! I'm sorry about the yelling but you look so young! I thought you were one of those 19 year olds on vacation with their boyfriends"
"I am" Max said "Nineteen I mean"
Jason's mouth hung open, his gaze shifted from Max to Logan and back to Max slowly.
"Hey, why don't you come in?" Logan stepped aside and allowed Jason to walk in
"I'm gonna go put some clothes on" Max suddenly felt shy, she closed Logan's shirt around her body and left
As soon as they were alone Jason bombarded Logan with questions
"So, Cale, how did you two meet?"
"Let's just say she... dropped into my life" Logan smiled and sat next to his friend on the couch
"She seems to be very... active" Jason was staring at Logan's naked chest. He looked down and realized that he was wearing nothing but a pair of pants and the scratch marks and hickeys that were all over him were visible
"Uh yeah" Logan didn't know what to say so he tried to change the subject
"So Jason... what have you been up to this last few years?"
"Nothing really. How long have you known Max?" Jason
"A little over a year"
"You've been going out with someone for a year and hadn't told me about it?"
"Oh no, we've been going out for about four months or so"
Jason frowned
"What?" Logan asked
"Nothing it's just that... she doesn't seem to fit the profile"
"What profile?"
"Well, it's obvious that she's after your money..."
"WHAT?" Logan jumped up from the couch
"Logan? Is everything ok?" Max yelled form his room
"Fine" he yelled back "Jason, Max is not after my money! She has no use for it"
"What do you mean? Everyone has use for money!"
Logan sighed "I mean that she could get a lot more money by herself. She doesn't need me"
"Why? Is she loaded? Cuz anyone who doesn't need money from you must be really rich"
"Something like that. And besides, as much as I want to break your neck for it, you've seen her body. She could become a model in Europe if she wanted to or something"
"I guess"
Max came out of Logan's room then. She tossed him the shirt she had been wearing and he slipped it on to cover his bruised chest
"Well, it was nice meeting you Max. I should be heading downstairs now, my wife is waiting for me"
"Wait, you're leaving?" Logan buttoned his shirt while he talked
"Well, yeah"
"Maybe we could do something together while we're here" Max offered
"Yeah, I would love to meet your wife" Logan pressed
"Oh but you know her, I married Andrea and we sort of have plans for tonight. We got a babysitter for the kids and everything and we're leaving tomorrow before the storm gets too big and we get snowed in"
"You married your high school sweetheart?" Logan asked incredulously
"Yeah"
"Well good for you"
"Yeah" Jason answered awkwardly
"Well... don't be a stranger"
"I won't" Logan walked Jason to the door
"Bye"
"Yeah, bye"
Logan closed the door. Max came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his chest
"Well... that went well" he stared at the closed door
"Yeah"
"You know what he said about you?"
"I heard"
"Oh"
They became silent for a moment
"Come on, let's get dressed before the girls get back"
*************
Logan glanced at his watch again "Girls, you almost ready?" he asked for the tenth time
"Give us a minute" Max answered from behind the closed door for the tenth time
Zack walked in then "You going anywhere?" He asked Logan
"Yeah, we're going to a club. You coming?"
"Sure, why not" Zack sat down on the couch as far away from Logan as he could "What are we waiting for?" He asked
"The typical trisome of women" Logan answered
"I heard that" Max opened the door to her room and stepped out
Logan had to bite his lip to keep from gasping at the sight of her. She was wearing her new outfit, which revealed a nice amount of skin. She had curled her long, almost straight hair. Logan had to admit, he missed the curls but now they were back, at least for one night.
Max's outfit affected Zack as well but he covered it with a joke
"Hey Max, who died?" He pointed to her black clothes even though he was wearing all black himself
Max gave him a nasty look and replied "I'm only wearing black until I find something darker"
She grabbed her new leather jacket and tossed Logan the car keys
"Let's go"
The five of them rode the elevator in silence. Once they were outside Logan opened the back door for the girls. The last one to get in was Max, she flashed a huge smile his way and closed the door behind her
'One of this days she's gonna kill me if she keeps dressing up like that' Logan thought while driving to the club
*************
The club was smoky and noisy but not nearly as bad as the one from the night before. There were not that many single men around even though Max caused a lot of stares from the guys and a lot of jealous looks from the girls
Max chose a table and sat down. Logan grabbed a couple of extra chairs from a table nearby and sat next to Max
"I'll go get us a pitch of beer" Original Cindy stood up from her place on Max's left
"No, let me" Logan stopped her and went to get the drinks himself
Max watched him go, his black pants and dark blue button down shirt making contrast against his eyes, giving them an amazing glow that made her want to jump him right then and there. She turned away from him to stop the line of thoughts running through her head
When Logan came back to the table he noticed that Max was eyeing the dance floor and tapping her foot against the table. The song ended and a new one started. As soon as Logan heard the first words of the song he offered Max his hand and asked
"Would you like to dance milady"
Max smiled and took his hand "Hell yeah milord"
After guiding her to the dance floor Logan let go of her hand and watched while she moved her hips seductively a couple of times. Max took his hand and urged him to dance too but he could hardly move. Max's actions were having an effect on him
*Make me crazy
Make me crazy*
Max pulled Logan close and asked him "What's the matter Logan? The rich playboy can't dance?"
Logan snapped out of it and gave her a mischievous grin. He grabbed her hand and spun her away from him. She laughed and moved closer again
Logan knew the song well, he mouthed the words "Must have picked the stars out of the sky and left them in your eyes"
Max smiled and mouthed back "Boy I'm thinkin' bout you every day and every night"
*And I love the way you drive
Me insane*
She stepped even closer to him and whispered in his ear "Make me laugh, make me love, make me crazy"
*I feel alive
Cos you're the only one
To drive me wild-wild
And I can't deny
I love the way I'm all mixed up inside*
She stepped back again and raised her arms over her head, moving seductively in a delicate way that amazed Logan. He moved with her and she smiled. He turned out to be a very good dancer.
*It's the way that you make me crazy
It feels so right cos it's you now baby
You got it all goin' on
With all the little things that will make me crazy
Just the way that you make me feel
I feel so alive for the first time baby
When you make me crazy, You got me baby...*
He held his hand out to her again and placed his other hand on her hip. He smiled and dipped her much to her delight
She giggled and held on to his neck. Couples around them on the dance floor stood back to watch them dance but they barely noticed. They were too involved with each other to even care.
Max and Logan twirled and turned, they turned the dance into a sexy form of foreplay, evident to most people there but not to them
Max got close to him again to whisper the next part of the song to him. Her breath caressed his ear and neck in a way that made him shiver with pleasure "I should've seen it coming form a million miles away and now, upside down and inside out with what you do to me"
*Never been so in love and so unsure
Lift me up, tear me down
Still I love you more
Can't deny,
I've come to love the way you mess me up inside*
She danced away from him again, grinning at his reaction to her words. They continued to dance, their fluid movements drawing attention from the people present.
*Baby I can't work you out
Baby I can't work you out
Cos I never ever loved someone like you before
guy like you before
And now I can see things straight
Cos everytime I clear my head
Everytime I...
You spin me round again*
They danced close to each other, yet not touching for the rest of the song. Another song started, much slower than the previous one
*The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth*
Logan offered his hand to her again and she took it. He gathered close to him and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. She raised her arms and circled his neck, resting her head on the crook of his neck
*Tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above*
Max and Logan swayed slowly to the music. The whole world faded away, leaving just the two of them together and the beautiful music to which they danced to
*I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life*
Original Cindy and Kendra watched them form the table. Zack was at the bar talking to a couple of girls and had no idea of what was going on at the dance floor
*Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead *
"Look at them" Kendra pointed "they look so cute together"
"We're not like that my ass" Original Cindy was smiling "I just wish they would go ahead and accept it to each other. It's so obvious they're into each other"
*I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life*
Max shifted her position, bringing her hands down to rest on Logan's chest.
His hands traveled upwards, he stopped when he touched her bare spine, making her shiver but their movements were no longer sexual, they were tender
*I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said *
Logan dipped his head and rested his forehead against Max's
*I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life*
With one hand Logan lifted Max's head and leaned down to kiss her slowly. She closed her eyes and waited for the contact of Logan's lips against hers
*KORE-KARA MINNA-DE MECHAKUCHA ODOTTE SAWAGO-SAWAGO*
A deep low voice came out of the speakers, braking the spell between Max and Logan just in time
They stepped away from each other and smiled
"I think we should go back to the table" Max said
"I think I need a drink" Logan followed her to their table and sat down
"You know what peeps? Sometimes the lyrics to a song can give you some great advice" Original Cindy told them
They stopped to listen to the music
*Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, getcha getcha getcha getcha getcha freak on*
Logan turned beet red but Max just laughed and shook her head
"Girl you are whacked" Max poured herself some beer and offered the pitcher to Logan, who took it gratefully
Logan was drinking his beer greedily when he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind
"Cale! Max! Nice meeting you here!"
Logan spit out the beer that he had in his mouth, spraying the table
"Jason! What are you doing here?" Logan asked
Max sat up straight and turned around slowly
"Andrea and I wanted to check out this place but what are YOU two doing here? I thought you would be at your cabin getting..."
"Why don't we go over to the bar and get a drink?" Logan interrupted him and guided him away from the table
Max sighed with relief, their secret was safe... at least for a while
After a few minutes Zack approached the table and tapped Max on the shoulder. She jumped up and edged away from him
Zack frowned but he just told her "Max, I think I'm gonna head back now. I don't feel like hanging out here any longer" And with that he left
*************
A couple of hours later the club was starting to clear out and they were all ready to go home
The four of them walked slowly to the car and drove to the cabin. When they were almost there Logan remembered that he needed to buy a pack of condoms, just in case
"Oh shit!" Original Cindy exclaimed "I left my purse at the club"
Logan stopped the car and considered his options "Why don't you and Kendra take the car and go back? I need some stuff from the drug store down the street, Max can come with me"
They all agreed so Max and Logan got out of the car and Original Cindy drove away
Max rubbed her head and asked "Logan, would you mind going to the drug store by yourself? I don't feel like walking all the way over there and back"
Logan frowned "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just wanna get upstairs and into some comfortable clothes"
"But... Zack is going to be there"
"Yeah so?" Max raised her eyebrows "What do you think I'm gonna do? Jump my brother?"
Logan raised his voice a little "Well, you HAVE been avoiding him for two days, why would you avoid him if you didn't think there is a possibility of you loosing control?"
Max's eyes flashed with anger "Think Logan, think real hard. I've got feline DNA, Zack's got feline DNA. If I get too close to him not only would he be able to smell the pheromones and KNOW that I'm in heat but it would also make him incredibly horny! Or haven't you noticed him hanging around girls for the past two days? Multiply that by five and that's what you get when you put two horny X-5 close!"
Max stopped to catch her breath and continued without giving Logan a chance to speak
"I thought you trusted me! What makes you think that I would go and have sex with some I don't love?"
"Well that IS how you hooked up with all of your past boyfriends, not to mention the guy from the coffee shop today isn't it?" Logan shot back
Logan immediately regretted the words and wished he could take them back
Max snapped her head away as if he had hit her on the face
"Max, I..."
Max raised her hand and stopped him "You know, you keep saying how you would rather die than see me hurt. Well you better go and hang yourself somewhere cuz your words have hurt me more than any hit I've ever received. I always wondered what you thought of me. I guess now I know."
What scared Logan the most was the lack of emotions on Max's face and voice.
"Max!" Logan called but she turned away and ran into the woods
"Damn!" He swore and punched the wall behind him. His knuckles screamed in pain but he barely noticed
Freezing cold rain started pouring down from the skies but Logan didn't notice that either, all he could think of was how he had hurt Max and probably destroyed everything they had worked so hard to build
___________________________
In every life a little rain must fall, and this small chapter is my quota but don't worry, I'll fix things on the next chapter unless I get no reviews :: wicked grin :: You didn't honestly think I was gonna let Zack find out so easily did you? Oh no, I have it all planned out and trust me, it's gonna be much better ;)
I am SO sorry, this took so long but my computer has a virus and I lost the chapter, I had to rewrite it! Plus my parent's bedroom is being repainted and they are camping in my study. I can't really work with them staring at me can I?
Oh, for those of you who were wondering... I am a 16 year old Spanish speaking girl who has seen only like five episodes of Dark Angel since my cable system has no FOX ;( so yes, writing is hard work for me but I do it because I like it and also because YOU like it (at least I hope you do) so be nice and take 10 seconds of your time to review this pathetic chapter PLEEASEEEE (now you know why it sucks)
And I wanna thank bcpurpleprincess and mudpie for your song suggestions. In case anyone was wondering, the first song is Make me Crazy by Scandal'US, the second one is I'll be by Edwin McCain and the last one, Get UR Freak On by Missy Elliot
Oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! To all of you and thanks for your wonderful reviews!
BLACK COFFEE
****************************
Max hung up the phone and returned to the table
"Is your boyfriend coming"
"He's not my boyfriend and no, he's not" Max informed Original Cindy
A waiter arrived with their coffees and the girls thanked him
"Can I take your order or are you waiting for someone else?" The boy asked
"Can you give us a couple of minutes? We haven't decided yet..." Max glanced at his nametag "Mark"
She stirred her coffee with her finger and licked the remains off it, pointedly staring at the boy
He gulped, nodded and left. Original Cindy shook her head
Kendra took the steaming cup in her hands and took a small sip. The mug slipped from her grasp and she gasped
"Oh it's hot! It's hot!" She fanned her tongue with her hand
The hot liquid ran all over the table, some of it dripped onto the floor
"I'll get some napkins" Max stood up and turned. She slammed into Mark's solid chest
"Oh, I'm sorry" Mark took her shoulders to steady her
"I'm not" Max rubbed herself suggestively against the boy's body. He closed his eyes and whispered to her in an urgent voice
"There's a bathroom for employers that no one uses on the back, wanna go check it out?"
"Definitely" Max whispered back
Mark took her hand and led her to the back of the coffee shop. As soon as they were out of sight Max attacked the boy, running her hot little hands up and down his well shaped abs. She tugged on his shirt and almost ripped it off his body. The boy leaned down and kissed her hard
Original Cindy had seen Max disappear with the waiter. For a second she thought about letting her go with him and get her itch scratched but she knew Max would hate herself afterwards so Original Cindy sighed and went to rescue the boy and Max from herself

When Original Cindy opened the door she didn't know what to expect but what she saw took her by surprise. Max had both legs wrapped around the waiter's hips. She was eagerly sucking on his neck and he was trying to ease her out of her pants with little success

Max gasped and shook her head "Thanks, I needed that"
The boy tapped her on the shoulder "Hum, could we like... go on? Do you want me to get this girl out of here?"
Max turned around to look at her pray. Mark had a line of hickeys that went from his neck to his chest. He was shirtless, his blonde hair tousled, lips swollen from the kisses
"If you'll excuse me, I think I'm gonna go and throw up now. Original Cindy, would you put a smack down his ass for me?"
"Sure thing suga but where are you going? Are you feeling ok?"
"I'm fine, I'm just going back to the cabin before I do something stupid"
"But Logan is gonna be there, I thought you didn't want anything to happen between you two"
"Logan knows about this shit, he won't give in that easily" Max explained quickly before rushing to the cabin
Mark was staring at Original Cindy and she frowned
"What? You think that was weird? That wasn't even the tip of it pal"
*************
Logan ran as fast as he could but he knew that he would never be able to reach Zack in time unless a miracle occurred
Zack was seconds away from finding out about the relationship. Logan was seconds away from dying on the spot and there was nothing he could do to stop it
"LOGAN!" Max's voice reached his ears before she even opened the door
Zack looked up and dropped the laptop on the couch. Logan reached for it quickly and snatched it away
"It's... confidential" He quickly informed Zack
"Logan! I need some..." She stopped mid sentence when she realized that they weren't alone
"Huh, some... Zack, what are you doing here?"
"I didn't take my wallet with me this morning"
Max sighed "I'll help you look for your missing wallet"
"It's not... argh to hell with it" Zack gave up and continued looking
"Found it!" Max crawled out from under the table and tossed Zack his wallet
"How did it get there?" Zack wondered out loud
"Beats me... don't you have somewhere to be?" Max tapped her foot against the hard wooden floor
Zack frowned but left without another word
As soon as they were alone Logan sank down on the couch and sighed with relief

She sank down on the couch and tried to hold back tears
"Max?" Logan kneeled in front of her and rubbed her knee
"I... I couldn't control myself! There was this waiter at the coffee shop that kept flirting with me and I couldn't..." Max broke down. Tears rolled down her cheeks freely. She had betrayed Logan's trust and now she couldn't live with herself
Logan gulped. He didn't blame Max, he blamed her genetics "Max, how far did you go sweetie?" he talked to her like he would to a small child
"Not all the way. I was beginning to gain some control and was about to stop the boy from pulling my pants down when Original Cindy walked in and slapped me"
"So you just kissed him?" Logan smiled a little
"JUST kissed him? Yeah, I mean... I would never have sex with anyone but you. Since we became a couple I've been able to control my... itch a little bit more. It's like suddenly I don't want anyone but you"
Logan's smile broadened "I can live with that"
Max frowned through her tears "So you forgive me?"
He whipped the tears away from her face with his thumb "Max, there's nothing for me to forgive. I can't hold you responsible for your feline DNA can I?"
Max laughed and threw her arms around his neck
"God, I love you" She said before kissing him deeply
*************
Max moaned Logan's name and searched with her hands for something to hold on to. She grabbed the quilt that was below her and slammed her fists against the hard wooden floor
"Oh God Logan!"
He placed kisses all over her throat and chest
"Logan don't stop!" She hit the floor with her heels in an effort to get him deeper inside of her
Logan groaned at the new waves of sensation that Max's moving provoked
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
"The door" Logan moaned
"Ignore it! Stop now and I'll kick your ass!"
The pounding on the door increased
"WHO THE HELL IS IT?" Max screamed
The person on the other side of the door just knocked harder
"Maybe Cindy?" Logan asked in a throaty whisper
"She would answer my question"
"Zack?"
"Would've broken down the door by now"
KNOCK KNOCK "HEY!" It sounded like a man, an angry man
"This can not be happening" Max stood up, leaving a sweaty, flushed Logan behind. She grabbed one of his dress shirts and slipped it on, leaving most of it unbuttoned she stormed over to the front door and opened it forcefully
"WHAT?" She screamed
A man around Logan's age was standing there, an annoyed expression on his face
"Look young lady, my family and I are trying to have a peaceful vacation down there but you and your 'friend' are making so much noise our kids are scared! They think the roof is going to fall on their heads! So if you and your partner could control your teenage hormones we would be very grateful but if you don't I'm going to have to call the manager" The guy crossed his arms and waited for Max to respond
"Angel? Who is it?" Logan asked
"A party pooper from downstairs" Max yelled back, pointedly staring at the guy
"What?" Logan left his room to join Max but he stopped. His eyes widened
"Jason?"
"Cale?"
Max frowned "You know this guy?" She asked Logan. He came up behind her and wrapped one arm around her waist, offering the other one to the guy
He took it and shook it before pulling Logan into a hug. He had to let go of Max in order to do that
"Oh man, it's been so long! How many years?" Jason asked
"Well, six or seven" Logan answered, he turned to Max "Max, this is Jason, we went to high school together. Jason this is my... girlfriend Max"
Jason shook Max's hand "Very nice to meet you! I'm sorry about the yelling but you look so young! I thought you were one of those 19 year olds on vacation with their boyfriends"
"I am" Max said "Nineteen I mean"
Jason's mouth hung open, his gaze shifted from Max to Logan and back to Max slowly.
"Hey, why don't you come in?" Logan stepped aside and allowed Jason to walk in
"I'm gonna go put some clothes on" Max suddenly felt shy, she closed Logan's shirt around her body and left
As soon as they were alone Jason bombarded Logan with questions
"So, Cale, how did you two meet?"
"Let's just say she... dropped into my life" Logan smiled and sat next to his friend on the couch
"She seems to be very... active" Jason was staring at Logan's naked chest. He looked down and realized that he was wearing nothing but a pair of pants and the scratch marks and hickeys that were all over him were visible
"Uh yeah" Logan didn't know what to say so he tried to change the subject
"So Jason... what have you been up to this last few years?"
"Nothing really. How long have you known Max?" Jason
"A little over a year"
"You've been going out with someone for a year and hadn't told me about it?"
"Oh no, we've been going out for about four months or so"
Jason frowned
"What?" Logan asked
"Nothing it's just that... she doesn't seem to fit the profile"
"What profile?"
"Well, it's obvious that she's after your money..."
"WHAT?" Logan jumped up from the couch
"Logan? Is everything ok?" Max yelled form his room
"Fine" he yelled back "Jason, Max is not after my money! She has no use for it"
"What do you mean? Everyone has use for money!"
Logan sighed "I mean that she could get a lot more money by herself. She doesn't need me"
"Why? Is she loaded? Cuz anyone who doesn't need money from you must be really rich"
"Something like that. And besides, as much as I want to break your neck for it, you've seen her body. She could become a model in Europe if she wanted to or something"
"I guess"
Max came out of Logan's room then. She tossed him the shirt she had been wearing and he slipped it on to cover his bruised chest
"Well, it was nice meeting you Max. I should be heading downstairs now, my wife is waiting for me"
"Wait, you're leaving?" Logan buttoned his shirt while he talked
"Well, yeah"
"Maybe we could do something together while we're here" Max offered
"Yeah, I would love to meet your wife" Logan pressed
"Oh but you know her, I married Andrea and we sort of have plans for tonight. We got a babysitter for the kids and everything and we're leaving tomorrow before the storm gets too big and we get snowed in"
"You married your high school sweetheart?" Logan asked incredulously
"Yeah"
"Well good for you"
"Yeah" Jason answered awkwardly
"Well... don't be a stranger"
"I won't" Logan walked Jason to the door
"Bye"
"Yeah, bye"
Logan closed the door. Max came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his chest
"Well... that went well" he stared at the closed door
"Yeah"
"You know what he said about you?"
"I heard"
"Oh"
They became silent for a moment
"Come on, let's get dressed before the girls get back"
*************
Logan glanced at his watch again "Girls, you almost ready?" he asked for the tenth time
"Give us a minute" Max answered from behind the closed door for the tenth time
Zack walked in then "You going anywhere?" He asked Logan
"Yeah, we're going to a club. You coming?"
"Sure, why not" Zack sat down on the couch as far away from Logan as he could "What are we waiting for?" He asked
"The typical trisome of women" Logan answered
"I heard that" Max opened the door to her room and stepped out
Logan had to bite his lip to keep from gasping at the sight of her. She was wearing her new outfit, which revealed a nice amount of skin. She had curled her long, almost straight hair. Logan had to admit, he missed the curls but now they were back, at least for one night.
Max's outfit affected Zack as well but he covered it with a joke
"Hey Max, who died?" He pointed to her black clothes even though he was wearing all black himself
Max gave him a nasty look and replied "I'm only wearing black until I find something darker"
She grabbed her new leather jacket and tossed Logan the car keys
"Let's go"
The five of them rode the elevator in silence. Once they were outside Logan opened the back door for the girls. The last one to get in was Max, she flashed a huge smile his way and closed the door behind her
'One of this days she's gonna kill me if she keeps dressing up like that' Logan thought while driving to the club
*************
The club was smoky and noisy but not nearly as bad as the one from the night before. There were not that many single men around even though Max caused a lot of stares from the guys and a lot of jealous looks from the girls
Max chose a table and sat down. Logan grabbed a couple of extra chairs from a table nearby and sat next to Max
"I'll go get us a pitch of beer" Original Cindy stood up from her place on Max's left
"No, let me" Logan stopped her and went to get the drinks himself
Max watched him go, his black pants and dark blue button down shirt making contrast against his eyes, giving them an amazing glow that made her want to jump him right then and there. She turned away from him to stop the line of thoughts running through her head
When Logan came back to the table he noticed that Max was eyeing the dance floor and tapping her foot against the table. The song ended and a new one started. As soon as Logan heard the first words of the song he offered Max his hand and asked
"Would you like to dance milady"
Max smiled and took his hand "Hell yeah milord"
After guiding her to the dance floor Logan let go of her hand and watched while she moved her hips seductively a couple of times. Max took his hand and urged him to dance too but he could hardly move. Max's actions were having an effect on him
*Make me crazy
Make me crazy*
Max pulled Logan close and asked him "What's the matter Logan? The rich playboy can't dance?"
Logan snapped out of it and gave her a mischievous grin. He grabbed her hand and spun her away from him. She laughed and moved closer again
Logan knew the song well, he mouthed the words "Must have picked the stars out of the sky and left them in your eyes"
Max smiled and mouthed back "Boy I'm thinkin' bout you every day and every night"
*And I love the way you drive
Me insane*
She stepped even closer to him and whispered in his ear "Make me laugh, make me love, make me crazy"
*I feel alive
Cos you're the only one
To drive me wild-wild
And I can't deny
I love the way I'm all mixed up inside*
She stepped back again and raised her arms over her head, moving seductively in a delicate way that amazed Logan. He moved with her and she smiled. He turned out to be a very good dancer.
*It's the way that you make me crazy
It feels so right cos it's you now baby
You got it all goin' on
With all the little things that will make me crazy
Just the way that you make me feel
I feel so alive for the first time baby
When you make me crazy, You got me baby...*
He held his hand out to her again and placed his other hand on her hip. He smiled and dipped her much to her delight
She giggled and held on to his neck. Couples around them on the dance floor stood back to watch them dance but they barely noticed. They were too involved with each other to even care.
Max and Logan twirled and turned, they turned the dance into a sexy form of foreplay, evident to most people there but not to them
Max got close to him again to whisper the next part of the song to him. Her breath caressed his ear and neck in a way that made him shiver with pleasure "I should've seen it coming form a million miles away and now, upside down and inside out with what you do to me"
*Never been so in love and so unsure
Lift me up, tear me down
Still I love you more
Can't deny,
I've come to love the way you mess me up inside*
She danced away from him again, grinning at his reaction to her words. They continued to dance, their fluid movements drawing attention from the people present.
*Baby I can't work you out
Baby I can't work you out
Cos I never ever loved someone like you before
guy like you before
And now I can see things straight
Cos everytime I clear my head
Everytime I...
You spin me round again*
They danced close to each other, yet not touching for the rest of the song. Another song started, much slower than the previous one
*The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth*
Logan offered his hand to her again and she took it. He gathered close to him and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. She raised her arms and circled his neck, resting her head on the crook of his neck
*Tell me that we belong together Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above*
Max and Logan swayed slowly to the music. The whole world faded away, leaving just the two of them together and the beautiful music to which they danced to
*I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life*
Original Cindy and Kendra watched them form the table. Zack was at the bar talking to a couple of girls and had no idea of what was going on at the dance floor
*Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead *
"Look at them" Kendra pointed "they look so cute together"
"We're not like that my ass" Original Cindy was smiling "I just wish they would go ahead and accept it to each other. It's so obvious they're into each other"
*I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life*
Max shifted her position, bringing her hands down to rest on Logan's chest.
His hands traveled upwards, he stopped when he touched her bare spine, making her shiver but their movements were no longer sexual, they were tender
*I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said *
Logan dipped his head and rested his forehead against Max's
*I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life*
With one hand Logan lifted Max's head and leaned down to kiss her slowly. She closed her eyes and waited for the contact of Logan's lips against hers
*KORE-KARA MINNA-DE MECHAKUCHA ODOTTE SAWAGO-SAWAGO*
A deep low voice came out of the speakers, braking the spell between Max and Logan just in time
They stepped away from each other and smiled
"I think we should go back to the table" Max said
"I think I need a drink" Logan followed her to their table and sat down
"You know what peeps? Sometimes the lyrics to a song can give you some great advice" Original Cindy told them
They stopped to listen to the music
*Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, get your freak on
Go, getcha getcha getcha getcha getcha freak on*
Logan turned beet red but Max just laughed and shook her head
"Girl you are whacked" Max poured herself some beer and offered the pitcher to Logan, who took it gratefully
Logan was drinking his beer greedily when he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind
"Cale! Max! Nice meeting you here!"
Logan spit out the beer that he had in his mouth, spraying the table
"Jason! What are you doing here?" Logan asked
Max sat up straight and turned around slowly
"Andrea and I wanted to check out this place but what are YOU two doing here? I thought you would be at your cabin getting..."
"Why don't we go over to the bar and get a drink?" Logan interrupted him and guided him away from the table
Max sighed with relief, their secret was safe... at least for a while
After a few minutes Zack approached the table and tapped Max on the shoulder. She jumped up and edged away from him
Zack frowned but he just told her "Max, I think I'm gonna head back now. I don't feel like hanging out here any longer" And with that he left
*************
A couple of hours later the club was starting to clear out and they were all ready to go home
The four of them walked slowly to the car and drove to the cabin. When they were almost there Logan remembered that he needed to buy a pack of condoms, just in case
"Oh shit!" Original Cindy exclaimed "I left my purse at the club"
Logan stopped the car and considered his options "Why don't you and Kendra take the car and go back? I need some stuff from the drug store down the street, Max can come with me"
They all agreed so Max and Logan got out of the car and Original Cindy drove away
Max rubbed her head and asked "Logan, would you mind going to the drug store by yourself? I don't feel like walking all the way over there and back"
Logan frowned "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just wanna get upstairs and into some comfortable clothes"
"But... Zack is going to be there"
"Yeah so?" Max raised her eyebrows "What do you think I'm gonna do? Jump my brother?"
Logan raised his voice a little "Well, you HAVE been avoiding him for two days, why would you avoid him if you didn't think there is a possibility of you loosing control?"
Max's eyes flashed with anger "Think Logan, think real hard. I've got feline DNA, Zack's got feline DNA. If I get too close to him not only would he be able to smell the pheromones and KNOW that I'm in heat but it would also make him incredibly horny! Or haven't you noticed him hanging around girls for the past two days? Multiply that by five and that's what you get when you put two horny X-5 close!"
Max stopped to catch her breath and continued without giving Logan a chance to speak
"I thought you trusted me! What makes you think that I would go and have sex with some I don't love?"
"Well that IS how you hooked up with all of your past boyfriends, not to mention the guy from the coffee shop today isn't it?" Logan shot back
Logan immediately regretted the words and wished he could take them back
Max snapped her head away as if he had hit her on the face
"Max, I..."
Max raised her hand and stopped him "You know, you keep saying how you would rather die than see me hurt. Well you better go and hang yourself somewhere cuz your words have hurt me more than any hit I've ever received. I always wondered what you thought of me. I guess now I know."
What scared Logan the most was the lack of emotions on Max's face and voice.
"Max!" Logan called but she turned away and ran into the woods
"Damn!" He swore and punched the wall behind him. His knuckles screamed in pain but he barely noticed
Freezing cold rain started pouring down from the skies but Logan didn't notice that either, all he could think of was how he had hurt Max and probably destroyed everything they had worked so hard to build
