CHAPTER: Clearing the air.
Alec woke up the next day and found Max still laying on him. They had spent he whole night talking about what life was like outside of Manticore. Alec didn't want to move, this was what he wanted to wake to up every morning. Being able to see Max by his side. He knew he would it lose all in a few days so he wanted to cherish the special moments. Winning the lottery was kind of a bittersweet thing. On one hand he'd loose Max to Logan once she got the cure, but on the other hand he got so close to him during this whole thing. He guessed if had a chance to go back in time he wouldn't change it, just because of those small but extremely significant moments. He looked down at her again he knew he had to wake up eventually but he couldn't bring him self to do it. She looked peace full, he just wanted to reach down and kissed her, but he knew if he did that he wouldn't be able to have children. He closed his eyes and tried to let how important the moment was snick in, in two days time that would be Logan in his place. He hated it so much being so close and having to know he would loose her.
He felt her get up from his side and he opened his eyes. " Morning," he said smiling. " We over slept."
" Then why are you smiling," she said looking at him acting strange.
" Nothing," he said getting up.
" I'm going to take a shower," she said going into the bathroom.
" I hope you're not like most girls I know."
" How?"
" Well they spend hours in the bathroom," he said in a matter-of factly tone.
" Well I'm not most girls," she said smiling.

" Two days in a row," Normal said as he saw Max walk in. Then he saw Alec walk in after her. " And you got my Golden Boy in your nasty habits." He said frowning.
" She was helping me with something very important?" Alec said trying to come up with an excuse.
" And what was that?"
"Well. Well."
" I was helping him rub his muscles to get through the day." She said this because he knew Normal would melt at the thought. Alec was attracting all types of people.
" You rub your muscles before you come to work?" Normal asked trying to control himself. The dream he had about him as a Roman Gladiator was coming back to mind.
" He does it every day," Max said teasingly.
" I have to go," Normal said when he heard this.
" That was so disturbing," Alec said coving his face.
" Alec and Normal sitting in a tree K-I-S."
" Max CUT THAT OUT," he yelled.
" You know I'm just playing," she said laughing. " You know we could use this to our advantage," she said with a wicked grin.
" Hey, you're not gonna prostitute me Ok." He said seriously.
" We could have made some big bucks."
" Sounds tempting but I'll pass," he said.
" Ok what about some pictures on the Internet?" she said jokingly.
"No," he said playing along. " You know coming to think about it, I'll do that if you take out the pictures." He said with a cocky grin.
" Never mind," she said now coving her face.
"Oh come on Maxie, you act like you've never seen a guy naked before."
" Who's never seen who naked before," OC asked coming to see if her planned work. " You spent three nights by his house and you still ain't seen him. Straight people are so weird."
" Cindy Alec and I aren't like that,"
" Then what are you like?"
" Just really good friends."
" Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you say you couldn't stand 'his laughing, and his talking, and his breathing...' you got consistent with your hate girl."
" When did you say that?" he asked twisting up his face into a frown.
" I said that when you just started working Jam Pony," she said hoping he was taking that seriously.
" I bet you never thought you would actually like spending time with him," Cindy said.
"I guess not," she said thinking about how much she hated him then.
" He could be then one," OC said know what Max would say.
Alec was smiling in his mind. If OC saw something that meant it was there at least in a very small amounts or maybe she was just trying to help him out.
" What one," Max asked like Cindy was being ridiculous.
" You know," she stated. " The one you don't know you're looking for."
Max was totally confused. " What ever," she said and walked away leaving Cindy and Alec talking.
" So when are you going to tell her," OC asked Alec.
" Tell her what?" he asked pretending like she didn't know what she was talking about.
" Original Cindy sees through you boy, I see how you look at her all misty eyed."
" Me?"
" Yeah you." She said standing firm.
" Ok, I'm not going to tell her."
" Why the hell not," she said taking a seat. " You're gonna drive you're self crazy."
"She doesn't want me. She wants ' Logan'. I don't know what she sees in him. He doesn't even understand her and he never will."
" He may not understand her but he speaks from his heart, he's not afraid to tell how he feels. You my boo need to tell her before it's too late."
He knew Cindy was right but it wasn't as easy as just telling her. If he told her and she didn't feel the same way that could leave things weird between them for a while. " I can't just tell her."
" You don't even have to say it, there's just this look someone can give you and you'll just know it."
" So look at her?" he asked skeptically.
" Not just look, look with your heart not your eyes."
He was glad he was finally able to admit his feelings. Even if they weren't in front of Max he still said it. " Thanks for everything," he said getting up and taking some packages.
" Don't worry that's what Original Cindy is here for."
Alec smiled and walked out the door.
NOTE: I know there wasn't much Max/ Alec here but I wanted to write this chapter to keep it stretching. Please review, when I don't get any reviews I don't feel like writing anymore and the chapters don't turn out as good.
