Max woke up. She remembered the dream from the night before when Logan came
to her alive and she felt an ache in her heart. But she realized she wasn't
alone or even in her apartment as someone gripped her harder. She looked up
into two deep pools of blue. She caught her breath. She was on the floor of
the bathroom at the penthouse snuggled into Logan's broad chest while he
held her.
"Logan?" He smiled at her.
"Were you expecting maybe Cindy?" She looked into his eyes. She brought her hands up to her neck as she pulled his face down to meet hers. She kissed him gently but passionately and he matched it. They sat up together while kissing. Max was dizzy and she leaned back a moment.
"You ok?" Concern filling his eyes. She smiled at him.
"Now I am." She put her head on his chest to hear his heart beat. He held her closer. They stayed like this for 10 minutes before her beeper went off. She looked down. It was Cindy. She was hours late for work and Cindy didn't know where she was.
"Shit!" Logan lifted himself and Max up not wanting to let go.
"I better call Cindy before she freaks." He kissed her jaw.
"Can't it wait?" She closed her eyes briefly to take in his warmth.
"I wish it could but she will never forgive me if I don't. She would flip out." He continued to kiss her jawbone and neck.
"I think that is an over statement."
"No actually she keeps her eye on me like a hawk nowadays to make sure nothing…happens." She paused at the last bit and Logan looked up at her. He understood what she meant. It hurt him to know she was in that much pain that her friends were worried she would do something to hurt herself.
"Actually knowing Normal he will probably be in a hissy fit so how about I just come with you?" She knew that Normal would cut slack for her because she worked herself to the bone. But she appreciated Logan's understanding of her need to see Cindy. Or Cindy's need to see her. She wouldn't believe Max if she told her Logan was alive. Cindy would worry thinking she was hallucinating or something so she would just have to go show in person that she was fine. As they started to walk towards the door she noticed something now.
"Logan where is your exoskeleton?" She didn't hear its' mechanical buzz as it use to.
"Umm well I guess they didn't think it was right for a soldier to be crippled." So that was it. They tried to make him a soldier but he was just a human. Not genetically engineered. But she didn't want to ask him because he obviously did not want to talk about it right now. So they made their way to the door. She got her bike and he swung his leg over behind her and he circled his arms around her waist. They sat like that for a while with her leaning back into him. Then she gunned the engine and they sped off towards Jam Pony.
A/N ok just so you know this will be a very long fic considering I have not brought about the trouble brewing in my head nor shown Alec which is bound to make potential guilt problems on Max's part.
