DISCLAIMER: Don't own them, I only own this little piece of writing
displayed on the screen, If you really want to sue me for using the
character you can but I have nothing of value, so it's not worth your time
FOX, not that you care anyway.
A/N: Wow, the final chapter of Cherries and Cream. It's sort of sad and exciting all at once as I polish this up and prepare to post, Hope you enjoy it and as usual REVEIWS and flames welcome,
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO REVIEW. It really does mean a lot to me and I'm sure everyone else who writes, it's great to know that someone out there is reading and possibly enjoying your work.
Max sat at the gang's regular table in Crash and glared over her shoulder at the doorway.
"He'd better not have forgotten," she snapped at no-one in particular, "What are you smiling about?" she glared at her friends, as they tried to hide their smiles.
Sketchy jumped up and muttered "It's my shout" before heading to the bar, Herbal and Kendra started a conversation about the pool game currently going on, Only Cindy was game enough meet Max's eyes.
"For someone who until yesterday was 'not like that' you sure seemed worked up boo" she said, picking up her mug and taking a sip, "Relax Roller-boy will be here"
Reaching into her jacket she pulled out the mobile phone Logan had sent her as a present, he'd told her it was so she didn't have to search for a payphone every time she wanted to talk to him.
"Where'd you score the hardware" asked Original Cindy just as Kendra remarked "That's new" Both were silenced by a glare as Max dialled a number and held the phone to her ear.
"Hey Max," answered Logan,
"Where the hell are you?" she demanded,
"Turn around" he said laughter in his voice"
Max did, relaxing as she saw him in the doorway. She hung up the phone as she watched him wheel across the room towards her. Maintaining eye contact Logan smiled widely at her.
"You though I wasn't coming?" he asked, as he settled beside her.
"NO" she said loudly, "Alright maybe I thought you'd forgotten" she said mumbled as he quirked an eyebrow at her.
Quickly she re-introduced Logan to the gang smiling as he started a conversation with Herbal and Sketchy who had returned with a pitcher and even bought an extra mug.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Max headed over to the bar for her shout, and after dealing with four pick- up attempts and a quick conversation with Harold, the bartender she returned to find that Bling had joined the gang and that Original Cindy was sitting in her former chair.
"Hey Bling" said glaring at Original Cindy as she realised that there wouldn't be room for another chair at the table, She filled the mugs the gang held out before setting the down and shooting another glare at Cindy.
"What's the matter boo, got nowhere to sit?" drawled Cindy with a smirk. "Here I'll help" then she was falling into Logan's lap as Original Cindy gave her a shove.
Logan automatically grabbed her round the waist, steadying her and restraining her gently when she would have killed Cindy.
Leaning forward slightly he whispered in her ear "Your welcome to stay there, there's plenty of room"
Still glaring at Cindy she nodded and relaxed slightly against him before turning again to Bling "Thought you didn't hang here?" she asked with a slight edge to her voice.
"I don't usually," he replied, obviously trying to control laughter at the antics around him,
She just rolled her eyes and handed Logan a freshly filled mug before sipping from her own and rejoining the conversation around the table.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Occasionally as the night continued Max and Logan would share a glance before returning to the conversation that flowed freer than the beer around the small table.
Original Cindy and Bling had formed a bond, over their satisfaction that Max and Logan had finally got their acts together. As they chatted they watched in amusement as Logan leaned forward slightly to whisper something in Max's ear.
As she turned to respond heatedly to his remark, he smiled at her and Max lost her train of thought. Leaning closer she told him "Don't forget I could so kick your ass" then she frenched him, to the delight of everyone at the table and several other on-looking patrons at nearby tables.
Pulling back she rested her forehead against his and looked into his eyes "Wanna head out?" she asked and was unsurprised when he nodded.
Minutes later they had said goodbye to the gang and were out the door.

Max sat curled on the couch in Logan's living room looking out over the Seattle skyline.
He returned from the kitchen handing her the glasses of wine, before transferring on the couch next to her, She shifted slightly, allowing herself to relax against him, settling her head on his shoulder.
He took his glass back from her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders; both of them sitting silently, sipping occasionally and enjoying the moment.
Finally Logan broke the silence "So that went okay" he said softly smiling as she moved to see his face.
"It was good" she replied before the silence reigned again. "I feel so comfortable"
"It's a good couch" he said
"With you" she said, "Me too" he replied looking down at her, softly they kissed then he pulled away. "Wanna come watch me play basketball next Thursday?"
"Love to" she replied and then they both enjoyed the contented silence of the moment. Logan soon drifted off and Max remained curled against him, listening to him breathe and watching the city through the window. Finally just as light began to touch the skyline, Max stood, and stretched, scribbled a note before slipping silently from the penthouse and onto her baby to ride through the silent streets.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Standing on the edge of the space needle as the sun rose Max considered the past few days and the changes in her life.
'Last week who would have thought that Logan and I would be dating, just goes to show you never know what's gonna happen next'
'There's still the Reds out there and Manticore, but today I'm happy and they can kiss my ass. As for tomorrow, well who knows? Guess that's another adventure and I'll have to wait and see, but for now, Logan's got my back and I've got his'
Silhouetted against the skyline she stood, taking in the view with a final deep breath, then just as the last of the sun cleared the horizon she stepped away from the edge and headed back to street level.
Quickly she mounted her baby and revved her little, popping a wheelie then speeding back to the penthouse where her boyfriend sleeping.
That's it. Yep. Finished. I left some lose ends such as the poem and the invite to the basket ball game I know but if everything works out and my muse co-operates there will be a sequel soon.
