CHAPTER: The VCR
Max woke up and found her still in Alec's arms. She looked up at he clock and saw it was after eleven in the morning. She didn't think she was that tired * may be I was too comfortable, * she thought. She turned around saw that Alec was awake and looking at her. " We over slept."
" That's ok today is Sunday, we don't have to work." He didn't want to let her go, he wanted to stay there with his arms around her.
"I know, but I'm hungry," she said smiling.
" He looked at her and smiled. " stay here," he said and got up from the bed and went into kitchen.
Moments later he came caring two plates of pancakes and a carton of Orange Juice in his room. He gave her a plate and sat next to her.
Max looked at him and smiled. * I should stay here more often. He's being amazingly sweet. * " Alec"
" Yeah," he said over a mouthful of food.
" Thanks for everything."
" No problem," he said now swallowing his food.
Max liked the fact that he didn't look at her differently; he didn't act like she was a piece of glass that was going to break at any point. If she had been around Logan when that happened he would keep looking at her like she would start crying at any time and he'd keep asking her if she was all right. Alec on the other hand knew that would make her uncomfortable.
Alec got up from the bed when he was finished eating and carried his plate in the kitchen. " I'm ganna take a shower," he said taking some of his clothes out of his closet. " You're welcome to join me." He looked at her with a cocky grin from the entrance to the bathroom.
Max took a shirt from the ground and threw it in his diction. " Not is this lifetime," she said laughing. " Alec, don't use all the hot water," she yelled as he went in the bathroom.
Max got up and looked outside and saw that the rain was still pouring down. She had to call Cindy to tell she was at Alec's. She took Alec's phone from off his table and dialed her number.
" The Original Cindy speaking here," OC said on the other line. ---- " Hey, it's Max."
-----
" Girl where have you been?"
------
"I'm so sorry I was at Alec's."
------
" So you and pretty boy was getting buck wild huh," she didn't wait fro Max to correct her. " I understand."
------
" Wait a minute."
------
" So was he any good," O C asked.
------
" Cindy I."
------
" He has to be good, he is an X5 after all." OC said thinking about it. " Girl I'm happy for you."
--- --
" But."
------
" I have to go, I got someone of my own, if you know what I mean." she said laughing then hung up her phone.
Max looked at the phone in disbelieve she couldn't believe that OC thought that she would sleep with Alec.
" Who was that?" Alec asked coming out of the bathroom dressed and drying his hair with a towel.
" That was Cindy," she said. She couldn't tell why but she was a little disappointed to see him fully dressed. " She has company," she said making imaginary inverted commas on the company.

A few hours later Max and Alec sat on his couch flipping trough channels over and over again. " There's nothing to watch on TV," Alec finally declared. " Let's watch a movie."
" Do you have a DVD player," she asked.
" No, but I do have this," he said pulling a rectangular box from the back of the tv.
" And exactly what is that?" she asked eyeing it.
" It's VCR," he stated. " It plays these tape things called VHS tapes, I have a few movies on that."
" Where did you get it?" she asked smiling.
" I found in the dump." He said smiling. " I tell you people throw away anything these days."
" Why do you think they threw it away?"
" Well at first it wasn't working, then I opened it and I saw the thing was caked with dust, so I just used a little bit of rubbing alcohol and Poof. Good as new."
" So what movies you have."
" Well all I found in the dump was," he looked at the names on the tapes, " Glitter, Forest Gump, Gladiator and Titanic."
"Let's watch Titanic," she said excitedly. "Cindy says this is guaranteed to make anyone cry."
" I'm sure I won't cry," he said setting up the VCR. " I'll never cry over a movie."
" Well we'll see."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Three hours later Max kept looking at Alec to see if he was crying but nothing yet. He seemed to be deeply engrossed in the movie but he wasn't crying, form the time Rose's husband to be started to bitch and rant she started to cry. However Alec's eyes were dry.
Alec stared at the TV, * this is a good movie* he thought to himself. He looked at looked at Rose struggling to get on the piece of wood; he saw the look on Jack's face when he realized that he had to die. * Then the haunting theme played* and that did it fro him. He couldn't hold it any longer; he turned his face away so Max wouldn't notice he was crying.
Max never thought it possible to cry so much for movie. By the end of the movie she had a splitting headache. She looked to see if Alec was crying. " I knew you would cry," she said in triumph.
" I'm not crying," he lied.
" Then what's that liquid running from your eyes down your face." She said annoyed. *Why wouldn't he just admit it*
He wiped it away quickly. "My eyes where watering, I've been staring at the screen for more than three hours."
Max rolled her eyes. " Admit it, you were crying," she said looking at him in disbelieve.
He looked at her and pouted. " If word of this gets out I will make you pay," he said looking at her. " This is so embarrassing," he said covering his face.
" That's nothing," she said laughing. " I had a lot more embarrassing moments."
" Like what?" he wanted to trouble her with this for some moths to come.
" Like once when I was in . you know. heat." She saw Alec raised an eyebrow at the word heat. " Well. I kind of tried to get down with." she stopped and twisted up her face at the memory.
" With who?" he asked excitedly.
" With. Um. Normal." She put her hands over her ears; she didn't want to hear when he started to laugh.
This was not funny to Alec, this was disturbing, the idea of Max and Normal was repulsive even to say, much less think about. " Did you seek therapy afterwards?"
" Well OC stopped me," she said shrugging her shoulders.
" May the good Lord bless her soul."
NOTE: My, My, My. I am in a bad state. I still have no idea what Alec plans to do with the money yet and I don't know how else to stall it. You may notice that this chapter was pointless beyond reasoning. I might come up with something in my sleep. That's when I get most of my ideas.
Thanks for the movie idea, I decided to make it that they were still at his apartment so something could happen there, but my fingers have a mind of their own. They don't listen to me. They wrote this and this is what I posted.
