Three hours later, Max, Logan, Alec, and Zack were in Logan's Aztek
on the way to Gillette.
It had taken a while to figure out the seating arrangements. Everyone agreed Logan should drive, since it was his car, but that was the end of the agreements. Max and Logan both thought Max should sit in front. Alec thought Zack should sit in front. Zack thought Alec should sit in front.
It seemed everyone wanted to sit next to Max.
One black eye, one twisted arm, two stomped-on feet and an extremely amused Logan later, Max was sitting in the front, of course.
Alec and Zack were staring out the windows, refusing to look at each other or anybody else.
"Are we there yet?" Max asked tiredly.
"Almost. But you're not supposed to get tired. What's your problem?" Logan teased.
"Hey, I can get tired if I want to get tired! You wanna argue?"
"Uh, no, that's okay," Logan replied, glancing in the mirror at the nice black eye Max had given Alec.
Half an hour later, Logan pulled in to the gravel driveway of the log cabin they were renting.
They all entered the cabin. Max immediately went to explore the whole place. She came back shortly.
"Uh, Logan, did you check out the uh, bed situation?"
"Um, I guess not. Problem?"
"Not major. We got three bedrooms, one with a double bed and two with twins."
Logan ditched the act and cut to the chase. "OK then, Zack and Alec can have their own rooms, and you and I can share."
Zack joined the conversation. "Hello? Virus? Maxie and I can room together, we're brother and sister. We've done it before."
Max and Logan both winced at his choice of words.
"No way! I want my own room. You and Alec room together. Logan can have his own since he's got the exo and all."
Nobody but Logan looked at all pleased with this, but they agreed. Max dumped her stuff on her bed and went to see what they were doing for lunch. Logan had went to go find some food. Max sat in an armchair to wait.
Maybe she should have roomed with Alec or Zack. The virus kept Logan out of bounds, so what was the harm in having a little fun with Alec or Zack? They were both pretty cute anyway. Max was just about to approach one of them when realization hit her. "Crap!" she shouted. "Not now!" She started to run out the door.
Zack looked up. "Whassamatter Maxie?"
Max was just about to comment on how she loved it when he called her Maxie when she caught herself. "Nothin'. Just forgot my Tryptophan." With that she rushed out the door…
…and straight into Logan. "Hey Max. You goin' somewhere?"
She could feel her heart beating faster and faster and she really wanted to say No, of course not, but she couldn't. She just shook her head and ran off, leaving a puzzled Logan behind.
