Seven ten: Crash
"Where are they?" Vin's deep voice rumbled.
"Their girls man. They are always late. That is why we told them seven when it doesn't start until Seven forty five." Alec said with a smile.
"So THAT'S how you get them to show on time. Why didn't anyone ever tell me that?" Realization dawning on Vin's face.
Seven Thirty:
Vin and Sketchy were watching various girls walking around the club while Alec was setting up the balls on the pool table. He heard Sketchy say "Look at her. She definitely has to be the hottest girl her. What it wouldn't do to have her go home with me. Hey isn't that Original Cindy and Max with her? That would make her…" Sketchy trailed off. "Lexa." Vin growled.
Alec looked up and saw the three walking towards them. When he saw Lexa he dropped the pool ball on the floor.
"Here Alec, I think you dropped this. How clumsy of you." Max said picking up the ball which had been rolling towards them."
"Uh thanks. Yeah." He said not taking his eyes off Lexa.
"So boys what do you think of our girl?" Cindy said directing her question to Sketchy and Vin.
"Very nice. I give it a ten." Sketchy said then closed his mouth because of the look he got from Vin and Alec.
"I don't think I have ever seen a woman that looked any better." Alec said his voice low.
Lexa looked down at the short dark black dress she wore. The dark color brought out her eyes making them startlingly bright. It had taken two hours and nine outfits before Max and Original had decided that this was the outfit she should wear. They had insisted on the black strappy sandals when she had tried to go for black mid-calf dress boots. A mulberry color adorned her nails and toenails. She had put rollers in her hair creating waves and had pulled the sides back but left a few pieces framing her face. OC had indeed got her way in the end and Lexa's eyes were lined with a dark green eyeliner and lipstick the same color made her mouth form a sexy pout.
She fiddled with the delicate silver bracelet that OC had loaned her. "Thanks" she said blushing. "When do you guys play?"
"Soon. Why don't we all sit while we wait?" Alec suggested.
The group moved to their usual table. When Sketchy moved to sit next to Lexa Original Cindy pulled his arm and with a flick of her eyes she motioned for him to take the seat next to her. Alec sat down in the now vacant seat. Vin caught on to the game plan for the night. "Hey it's our turn Alec."
The two stood up and headed to the table. "Are you serious about her Alec?" Vin asked quietly.
Alec looked at Lexa sitting at the table. She was laughing at a joke that Sketchy had told. "I think I am. Are you okay with that..I know that we are sort of a team. WERE sort of a team." He corrected.
"I'm fine with it. It is what you two are made to do. Just be careful with her man. There are a lot of things that you don't know."
"Like what?"
"That's for her to tell you."
"And Alec?"
"Yeah."
"We still are a team."
At that moment their competitors walked up and the game started. Lexa walked over to the table and gave both guys a hug. "Good luck."
She went back and sat with Original Cindy and Max. Sketchy had moved to his table to start his game leaving the three girls to themselves.
Max laughed "Did you see the look on Alec's face? It was priceless."
"Yeah, I think for once he was at loss for words. Kind nice." Original Cindy said.
"So you think he liked it?" Lexa asked.
"Girl, He definitely did." Original Cindy assured her patting her hand.
Logan walked up then and Max's face lit up. Lexa was happy to see Max so happy. Then she noticed Max's smile dim. She looked back and there was Asha trailing behind Logan like a little puppy once again. As Logan greeted Max, Lexa walked up to Asha and took her arm.
"You and I need to talk." She said in a low voice.
Asha tried to protest but Lexa firmly led her away. Original Cindy raised her eyebrows at Lexa and she shook her head but Original Cindy slid from her seat to follow anyway.
Lexa led Asha to a secluded corner and said "I am not going to play any games. I know what you are trying to do and I suggest you stop immediately."
Asha's eyes widened. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"The little game you are trying to play with Logan. You are trying to sleep with him. Face it. He doesn't like you. He loves my sister. You are only making things harder on them. I love my sister and believe me when I say I will do anything to see her happy. ANYTHING, so back off."
"Look it's not my fault he likes spending time with me, besides, they can't even touch."
"Yeah, I know about the virus. But I am telling you now, if you don't stop trying to come in between them, I will kick your ass."
Asha paled "You can't tell me to stop working with him."
"You're right. I can't. But remember what I said."
Asha nodded her head.
"Now I suggest you go somewhere else tonight."
Again another nod and Asha quickly left Crash.
"Girl, Sometimes you can be scary." Original Cindy said as they made their way to the table. Lexa didn't comment.
Lexa picked up their pitcher of beer. "I'll go get the next round."
She walked up to the bar and handed the pitcher to the bartender. As he was filling it the girl sitting next to Lexa asked "You're with Alec and them right?"
"Yes."
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what?" She asked uncertainly
"Tell, Alec that if he ever wants another night like I gave him all he has to do is come by."
Lexa stood speechless. The girl paid for her drink and got up. Lexa took the pitcher from the bartender and paid for it. She walked back to the table with her throat constricting due to tears. She put the pitcher on the table as hot tears fell. "I'll be back." She said rushing to the restroom.
Alec, looked up at that moment and saw her rushing off. He saw Max follow and was about to as well when Vin nudged him and said, "Your turn." He surveyed the table and leaned down to take his shot.
~!~!~!
Lexa burst into the bathroom and leaned back against the wall tears streaming down her face. 'I was so stupid to think he would want to be with me. He probably has been with lots of girls. Why would I be any different?"
Max and OC came in after her. "Boo, what's wrong?"
Lexa dried her tears and said "Nothing."
"Doesn't look like nothing." Max observed. "Did something happen at the bar?"
Lexa told her what the girl had said tears falling anew.
"I admit. Alec was a dog before you were here. But he has stopped that. He hasn't dated anyone else." Original Cindy said.
"It doesn't matter anyway. I don't really have any right to be upset. Let's just go back out there." Lexa said walking past them.
"You sure?" Max asked.
"Yeah, Let's just go please."
The girls returned to their tables as Vin and Alec were finishing up their game. Vin could tell something was wrong with her but he didn't want to call attention to it and embarrass her.
Alec knocked the eight ball in, finishing the first round. As he straightened from the table a blond came up behind him and grabbed his arm. "Alec, it's been a long time, have you missed me?" she asked with a sly smile. Alec's face paled as he tried to do two things at once: Remember her name and disengage from her and get rid of her.
"Uh, Angie, Now's not a good time."
"As I remember Alec, we had a few "good times". I was wondering if you were up to it again?"
Lexa had heard enough. She stood from the table and walked out. Alec went to follow her but Angie's hand on his arm stopped him. He shook it off and before he could take another step Vin stepped in front of him.
"Look man, I don't want to hurt her. I just want to explain. I need to tell her how I feel about her."
"I know. But it is best to leave her alone right now." Vin explained. "When this is over we can go to the apartment and you can talk to her there." Alec nodded reluctantly and sat down while they awaited their next competitors.
~!~!~!
Lexa rushed out of the building stopping in the alley nearby and let the tears fall. She felt so stupid. Here she was all dressed up for HIM and he was looking at other girls. She should have known.
She heard a noise behind her and she turned to see two males and a female standing behind her all dressed alike in black pants, black boots and blue shirts. The female looked vaguely familiar.
"Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way 427." The taller of the two males said.
'Ah, now I know that face. Damn, another team. Can tonight get any better.'
"Well, what is exactly this?" she said.
"You are going to come with us."
" Like hell I am." She replied.
"Don't make it any harder on yourself. You mate and alpha are still inside and will be occupied for a while. It's just you against us. You don't stand a chance." He said.
"Did you really think I would go with you?" she turned to the other two. "And don't you talk."
She didn't get a reply as the girl jumped at her. Lexa fought as hard as she could. Dodging kicks and blocking punches. She was doing well until Tall Man got behind her and held her arms behind her back. The female kicked her in the side and Lexa felt several ribs crack. She was still trying to catch her breath when the shorter man inserted a hypodermic needle into her neck. Seconds later darkness claimed her.
!~!~!~!
Alec had waited impatiently all night to go back with Vin to their apartment to talk to Lexa. They walked in and discovered Lexa wasn't at home. They sat up and watched music videos for a while. Around midnight Vin went to his room to sleep. Alec decided to sleep in Lexa's room while waiting for her so she would be forced to talk to him when she arrived.
He stripped to his boxers and crawled onto the bed. He pulled the red sheets over him and quickly fell asleep enveloped in Lexa's scent.
