A/N: OK chapter 2. I hope this is more interesting than the last chapter. I'm doing my best, but I'm trying to cater for both people who know me and people who don't. So if you don't get a joke that's in the story or something, it's probably aimed at someone I got to school with or something… Anyways, enjoy!
"Logan." Max gently laid her hand on the blonde man's shoulder to catch his attention.
"Hey Max." He grinned at her. "Seen Tym?"
Max grinned back. "Nope." She mock frowned. "I've just spent two hours talking to Elinor King." The look of annoyance on her face made Logan chuckle.
"Surely she can't be that bad?" Logan asked, desperately trying to keep a straight face.
"Nah, she's a nice person, she just needs to calm down and stop talking." Max laughed. "She has a permanent case of 'open mouth, insert foot.'"
Logan laughed at Max's 'in-a-nutshell' description of Elinor. He actually felt sorry for the girl. She really did talk too much. Plus, her father was his bad guy of the month.
Max smiled as Logan's eyes glazed over into his 'Eyes Only" mode. "Logan?" She asked mockingly, waving her hand in front of his face.
Logan shook his head. "Sorry" He grinned sheepishly. "So, you having fun?"
"Oh yeah, Logan." Max mock glared at him. "Heaps of fun. So beats meetin the peeps at crash."
Logan wasn't surprised at Max's sarcasm-dripped voice. "Come on." He said. "We have work to do."
//I wonder where Max went.// Elinor frowned slightly. //Why do people always leave when I talk to them? Ah, well. I'll just go find her and her "We're just friends" boytoy.//
Elinor smiled as she saw Max and Logan across the room. The smile quickly faded, however, when she saw Leah walking towards them. //I really hate her.// Elinor thought to herself. She mentally shrugged. //At least I only have to put up with the bitch at these oh-so-interesting parties.//
Max was bored. All she was doing was standing there, looking for Logan's informant. "Logan," She whined. "I'm bored."
Logan couldn't help grinning at her pouty look. "Look, here comes Leah" He said, grimacing.
"Who's she?" Max asked, suddenly interested at Logan's pained expression.
"Long story." Logan said quickly. //I really don't want to get into this. Especially not with Max.//
Max was surprised at Logan's reluctance. //Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get it out of Leah.//
Max smiled as Leah approached, walking forward, ready to introduce herself and shake the other woman's hand. "Hi I'-"
Max was cut off as Leah pushed past her and embraced Logan. Max turned around, jealous and angry, but her hurt faded when she saw Logan's face. He was visibly uncomfortable and upset by the blonde's presence.
As Max was wondering what she could do to get Logan away from Leah, Elinor approached. "Hey Max." She said quickly. "I'll save you from the bitch, cause she's really mean, and although you say Logan isn't your boyfriend, I can see you're jealous…" Elinor trailed off at Max's exasperated look, and frowned. "I'm talking too much again." She shrugged and walked over to Leah, pulling the woman by the jacket, away from Logan.
"Come on, Leah, let's go see Dad." Max shot Elinor a grateful look as she dragged Leah away.
Logan sighed. "Max, I-"
"Logan, it's OK. You can explain later." She grinned. "Right now, I think I spotted Tym at the bar."
