::::Chapter 1::::
Max's Apartment 7:24PM
When Max opened the door she suddenly froze staring at the figure sitting on the chair.
"Hey Max," Alec said in a low voice without turning around.
"What are you doing here?" Max asked with surprise in her voice.
"Sorry to intrude but I need to ask you something."
"What?"
"Why did you."
Alec turned around and looked at Max and saw the expression on her face. He didn't have to finish. She knew what he wanted. But she didn't know how to answer him. She didn't even know where to start.
Max sat down next to him, her mind racing with thoughts. She thought about the kiss - passionate, tender, and full of emotion. She didn't now what came over her that day.

One Week Ago
"Hey Maxie," Alec said with his usual grin.
"Hey."
It was raining outside; Max hated the rain. It was pretty heavy, so Max decided to wait in Jam Pony until it let up. It was five o'clock and people began to leave. Alec had seen Max sitting there, watching the rain in a daze. He walked over to her ready to say one of his usual comments but decided not to. He just stood there looking down at Max. He himself fell into a daze.
"Can I help you?"
Alec jumped at the sound of her voice but calmed himself when he realized Max was looking directly at him.
"I wanted to know why you've been sitting here watching the rain."
"I hate the rain. It's cold and wet and I just hate it."
"Well I hope its wet, rain should be that way," Alec stated sarcastically.
Max couldn't resist a short laugh. Alec smiled in return, seeing Max happier then she had been lately.
"Do you want a ride home?" Alec asked, not actually knowing what he just said.
"And what ride could you provide?"
"A friendly, tall, handsome walking companion," Alec said matter-of-factly.
Max chuckled and stood up. She lightly slapped Alec in the shoulder and said "Since when are you handsome?"
Alec shrugged his shoulders and said with wit in his voice "Always."
Max decided to take Alec up on his offer. It actually turned out to be a wise decision. She actually enjoyed the conversation she and Alec were having and neither of them realized that they had been standing in front of her apartment for fifteen minutes.
"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow," Alec said, not really wanting to leave. He didn't know why, but something had come over him recently, he actually started to like Max as more then just a friend - and it startled him.
"Yeah, I guess so," Max said, as low as Alec had spoken. She then looked him, watching him turn around and walk away, and she suddenly felt an urge to say something else.
"Alec!"
"What is it tomorrow already?" he said in his playful tone.
She smiled at his comment. And for some reason she leaned in and softly kissed him. She pulled away. She couldn't believe what she had done. She was surprised at how right it felt. Alec just stood there staring back at Max. They both looked at each other. Alec kissed her back. They stood out in the rain for another five minutes before Max decided to pull away.
"I'll see you tomorrow then" Max said, a huge grin on her face.
"Yeah, tomorrow."
~~~
A small grin appeared on her face with the memory replaying in her head. She shook her head getting out of the trance she was in and looked back at Alec. She had never seen him look so uneasy. He looked dreadfully back at her, as if he was searching for the answer, not wanting to hear what she was going to say.
"Something came over me," Max said, not looking at Alec anymore.
"A good something or a bad something?" he asked in a voice so low Max barely heard him.
"A good something." She suddenly felt strange. The situation was becoming awkward - this is something she did not want to talk to Alec about. But she had to. He wanted to know. And some part of her wanted to know too.
