CHAPTER: Married.
" You would think that two shoulders from Manticor would have been able to catch a single mouse." Alec asked frustrated.
"It's not a mouse, it's a Rat.
" Whatever, it still has the check."
" We'll get it, don't worry," she said crawling under her bed. " Ah ha I see it." She said loudly.
" Where is it?" Hew asked looking around
" It's coming on your side. grab it."
Alec dived forward and caught the mouse in his left hand. " You little bugger." He pulled the check out of its mouth. " He took a huge bit out of it," he said throwing the rat out the window.
Max walked closer to observe. She saw the rat had left giant tooth mark on it. " " It's still good." She said.
" What are we going to tell the casher at the bank," he said frustrated by her optimism.
" We got hungry." She said laughing.
" Ha ha, very funny."
" Hey relax." She said observing his uneasy disposition.
" How could I relax?"
" Because it's only money."
" I have things I want to do with the money," he said with a far away look on his face. He sat on the foot of her bed and stared at the check.
" Like what?" She said taking a seat next to him.
" It's stupid, you'll laugh." he lied. The truth was it was far from stupid. It was very important to him, and he wanted to tell her, but he couldn't he had to be sure of something first.
" Come on tell me." She pressed.
" I'm not telling you." He said smiling.
" I'll tell you what I will do with it," she said hoping to tempt him.
" What are you going to do?" He asked looking at her keenly.
"I'll pay a doctor to get the cure? she said softly.
Alec rolled his eyes in he back of his head. " I should have known," he said with a heavy sigh.
" So what are you going to do?" she asked again.
" I'm definitely not telling you," he said. He wanted that to sound teasing but instead it came out as bitter and angry.
" Fine." She said getting up.
" Wait I'm sorry." He said taking her hand to hold her back. " I promise I will tell you if they accept it."
She sat in his lap and let him put his arms around her. " I can live with that." She said smiling. " Can you give me a hint?"
" No," he said smiling back at her.
She looked at him and studied his peevish expression. " I know what you're doing."
" What am I doing?"
" You're just being mysterious to drive my crazy." She said shaking her head like she discovered his master plan. " You know I hate it when you keep something from me."
" You hate it when I do that?" he asked innocently.
" Don't play Mr. Clueless with me, you know that I worry about you."
He looked and smiled, he liked the idea that Max got worried about him; it made him feel important in her eyes. " I guarantee you that you don't need to be worried."
" And then next two days someone is holding you at gun point." she said getting up. " Are you sure I don't have to worry."
Alec smiled and nodded his head. " I'm positive."
" So lets go cash this thing huh." She said pulling him up from her bed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Good morning may I help you." The teller said from the other side of the counter.
" Yes, we'll like to catch this in." Alec said handing the lady the check with the bite mark.
She looked at the check and back to Max and Alec. " Hold on a minute." She went in the back and to ask her boss if it was ok. She came back with a smile on her face and sat back down. " Do you have an account with this bank?" she asked politely.
"No I don't" he replied smiling.
" Does your wife has an account in this bank?" she asked smiling like a robot.
" No she doesn't" Alec replied. The idea that someone thought he and Max were married was alarming and funny at the same time.
" Well there will be a short period of time in which the check would have to got through clearance."
" How long will it take?" he asked mimicking her smile.
" Only a week"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- " A week." He said frustrated. " I don't have a week."
" Married!" she said baffled. " Why would anyone think we're married?"
" A week," Alec repeated.
" Married" max said again.
They both let out a heavy sigh. Alec cell phone rang. " Yeah." He said.
-----
" Is Max there?" Logan asked from the other line.
-----
"Why is it every time you want to talk to Max you always call me?" -----
" Because she's always with you." -----
" Good point." -----
" So is she there?" -----
" Yeah," he handed the phone to max. He listened to Max talk to him.
" We have to do that thing tonight."
" What thing?" he asked confused.
" Conceive a child," she said sarcastically.
" Really," he said with a cocky grin.
" No dummy, the thing from before," she said screwing up her face.
" Well we are married." He said teasing her.
" Alec you're scaring me."
NOTE: this chapter was a little pointless, but I'll continue to build on this theme. I don't know what Alec plans to do with the money yet so I might stall a little.
PS. I didn't mean that French people are pigs when I said Logan sounded like a French pig. (I meant French people say "Oui" and it sounds like "we") and the pig makes a sound that sounds like "we" so by Logan say "we won," he must be either French or a pig so I just called him a French pig.
Just to clear up the Made in Korea part. (When something is done in mass production in a production line, the workers often get tired and make mistakes). I didn't mean anything by it.
I am not the kind of person who will criticize cultures just for a laugh. And besides I'm French (Monique) and the guy I've been crushing on is Chinese.
So please don't think I'm racist. (I can't stand racist people and the idea that someone may think I am freaks me out.)
