Chapter 6: Chasing Butterflies
"Max! Open up, already! You've been in there for over an hour!" shouted Alec as he banged furiously on the door.
"Come on, Max! Some of us would like to use the bathroom...NOW!"
"Keep your pants on!" said Max as she came out, hair dripping from the shower she had just taken.
"New house rule. In the mornings, I get the bathroom first. I've been the gentleman long enough."
"I've been here a week, and you're already regretting the invitation."
"Is it too much to ask for a man to be able to relieve himself without the hassle of being locked out his bathroom?"
"Is it too much to ask that you put the toilet seat down?"
"Have you even left any warm water for me?
"Who knows?"
"Women!"
"How you love 'em."
Alec just glared daggers at her and hurried into the steaming bathroom.
Max laughed and went into the kitchen to make coffee. Joshua was reading the newspaper.
"Morning Joshua!"
"Max!"
"Want coffee?"Joshua shook his big furry head.
"Look. Logan in the newspaper."
Max was horrified, thinking that Eyes Only had been exposed. Instead there was a picture of Logan in a tuxedo at some important politician's dinner function. On his arm was Asha, dressed in a cocktail dress; and the smile they both gave the camera could have been used as a toothpaste commercial.
"Nice to see him getting out. Although I'd love to know what he's doing at a politician's party."
"Max misses Logan?"
"No Joshua. We're still friends, so I haven't lost him. We're both happier this way. It's been so long since I've seen him smile like that."
"Max also smiles more now. Max lot prettier when smiling."
"Thanks Joshua!" and she gave him a big hug. He barked in appreciation.
"Hey, don't I get a hug?" asked Alec from behind. He was only clad in a towel around his waist. As much as she'd never admit it, he did look scrumptious.
"When you put some clothes on, maybe."
He made a face and went off to change. Max laughed.
"Alec make Max laugh. Alec good for Max."
"He's a good friend."
"Alec and Max getting busy. That's the plan."
"Wha...Did Alec tell you that?"
"Yes."
"Alec!" she yelled as she went to his bedroom. She opened the unlocked door.
"Geez! Can you knock?" he said as he was putting on his T-shirt.
"Are you trying to get Joshua to play Cupid?"
He put on an innocent expression.
"Why would you say that?"
"He told me you're good for me and that you told him that you and me getting busy was the plan."
He grimaced.
"I may have mentioned something around those lines..."
Max sighed, but had to control the urge to smile. She sat down on his bed.
"You never give up, do you?"
He sat down next to her.
"Remember my New Year's Resolution?"
"You were going to go after what you want."
"I have every intention of getting it."
"By hook or by crook?"
"A little of both."
"You know how you catch butterflies, Alec? You don't chase after it. You stay still, and let them come to you."
"So, you're my butterfly?"
"Give me a little more time, Alec. Please?"
He leaned over, and she thought he was going to kiss her lips again. Instead he dropped a light kiss on her forehead.
"Can I get that hug now?"
A/N
A short chapter, I know. But I thought it was sweet. And for once I even know what's going to happen in the next chapter. Or at least I have a vague outline. This MIGHT be my last chapter for a while, because school re- starts tomorrow. This whole story thus far's been written in the holiday, and maybe that was my muse. We'll see.
Don't forget to review!Please? Thanks to everybody who review! They are all heartily appreciated!
Oh, can I ask the reviewers to please tell me what it is about this story that they like. Just for my curiosity!
