Now Or Never-Chapter 07

"I guess that's why I've stayed in Seattle so long. I am kind of a night person." Max said. She still hadn't looked into his eyes, hadn't seen the question in them.

'Oh my God. Why do I feel like this? I feel like I've known her and had been with her for all those ten years, not completely forgetting her. Like this is how my life was supposed to be. Have I lost my mind?'

"Night is my favorite time, I can think about how messed up my life is undisturbed." Max looked over at Logan and he looked at her also. 'Holy crap... look at those peepers. This guy's got some looks. He's so... interesting.'

"Messed up? Join the club." He said with a smirk.

"Already in it." She grinned back. Max turned her eyes back to the night sky. She didn't want to seem like a fool staring at a complete stranger like she was in love with him.

"Messed up is basically how to describe the world today. But we're making it."

"Yeah but if the world was as messed up as I am, we'd be in some seriously deep cr-" Max stopped talking suddenly and whipped her head around. Someone was listening. Someone who shouldn't be. "What the..." Max said as she got up and walked over to a tree.

"Everything ok?" Logan asked.

"Yep, just got a little bit of an issue with someone here." She walked up to a tree and jumped on to the first limb-10 feet in the air. Logan heard a man's grunt and then saw someone fall to the ground on their side. Max jumped out of the tree onto her feet and stood up the guy harshly. "You gotta problem? I was have a conversa-Kyle? What the hell are you doing following me around?" Kyle. The latest 'fling' while harshly gripped by feline DNA. Yipee.

"I just wanted to make sure some other guy didn't get my girl."

"Your girl? Since when am I your girl? Go home, Kyle, you're smashed."

"But I love you baby."

Max hit him up side the head. "You better get away before I..." Max said through clenched teeth. She stopped talking with her hand in a position to hit him and slowly let her eyes slip over to Logan. "Hurt you badly." 'Shit. I just jumped ten feet into the air in front of him.' Kyle hung his head childishly and walked away.

Max walked back over to Logan not knowing what to expect. "Nice jumping abilities" He said.

"Good reflexes?" She said as a question smiling innocently. "O told you I was messed up and if you think jumping high is bad, then you'd better not ask about anymore." 'It's hopeless. He doesn't look like the kind of person who'd just give up.'

"I never said I thought it was bad."

Max sat down and let her expression drop. She lowered her voice and turn towards Logan. "Okay, I'll tell you but I have people that I have know for almost five years and they don't even know. I don't even know why I'm going to tell someone who I don't even know. And let me just say that if you even have the thought of spilling this go through your mind, I will personally kill you with great pleasure."
