CHAPTER: Red Sea
Dedication: as always: to the people who read my last chapter and my friends at school who read this one first.
Alec woke up to the sound of his cell phone ringing. He quickly picked it up. " Yeah," he said quietly.
-----
" How did it go," Amelia asked on the other line. -----
Alec looked to his right and Max was still asleep. " She's here with me." He got up from the bed and put on a pair of boxers and went into the Kitchen.
-----
" I guess the pizza did work."
-----
" We didn't get to that part."
-----
"Oh, Excusez-moi," she said laughing lightly.
-----
" I just can't believe this is happening to me."
-----
" Didn't I tell you to give it a try, look what happened?"
-----
" Yes you were right, but as much as I will like to stay and chat I have to get back to her."
----
" Yeah bye." She hung up the phone. She was happy for him. It was a good thing that he was able to confront his feeling but she still had a problem.
Alec found Max in the bathroom getting ready to leave. He walked up and put his arms around her. " Morning Maxie."
" Morning Alec," she said smiling. Last night was the most amazing night she ever experienced. Being so close to him, emotionally and physically made her see him in a whole new light.
" Leaving already."
"Yeah I have to change for work." She didn't want to go but she had to if she wanted to keep her job.
He leant his face in and kissed her and then let go of her. " At work then?"
" At work." She smiled and left.

When Max came in Cindy was having breakfast, she walked pass her and headed quickly to bathroom, she knew she was going to be late.
Cindy watched Max walked in the door and straight to the bathroom and emerged minutes later with an unusual smile on her face. " Good morning to you too," she said sarcastically.
" Oh sorry, good morning."
" So you didn't come home last night?"
" I was at Alec's,"
" So tell me what happened?"
" We happened," she said with a dreamy look on her face.
" So when's he goanna tell Amelia that you and him hooked up." Cindy wasn't surprised she saw this coming a while ago. Maybe when Max huffing and puffing about how evil he was and then saved his ass on endless occasions.
" I don't know." Amelia totally slipped her mind. The fact hat she had made love to a man that had a girlfriend made her feel guilty but she didn't regret it.
" It's such a shame she was a nice girl, maybe she could use some of Original Cindy's lovin' after he breaks it to her."
" Maybe you could do that," she sarcastically. The idea of Amelia being same sex oriented never crossed her mind. " But I have to go to work."
" Since when you're so excited about work?"
" Since I have a reason to be there."
" Alec huh?"
" Like you didn't know."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" So you're back to your old habits huh?" Normal said seeing Max and Cindy walk in the door late.
" Traffic," she lied walking quickly pass him and heading straight to the lockers. She saw Alec sitting there like he was waiting for her. " Hey," she said taking a seat next to him.
His eyes lit up when he saw her. She looked so beautiful, she always did. " Hey."
" So?" she said smiling
"So?"
" What now," she asked.
" It's up to you, I know how I feel about you, and now the question is how do you feel about me."
" How do you feel about me?"
He blushed slightly and turned away for a while and then took her hand and whispered in her ear, " I think I'm in love with you."
She didn't know what to tell him, he was looking at her like he expected her to say the same thing. She wasn't sure about how she felt yet but all the same she didn't want him to feel like she didn't feel the same. She did the only thing she could think of doing at that time. She kissed him. It wasn't like a needy kiss, or a greedy one it was a soft kiss, that was supposed to tell him how she felt with out actually saying it.
" Get a room," OC said when she walked in on them.
" Alec man what are you doing?" Sketchy asked. Alec was his friend but what he was doing to a nice girl like Amelia was just wrong, much less with Max who didn't seem to give a rat's ass about him until a few days ago. " What about Amelia?"
The same guilt she experienced before came back to her but it was stronger, even Sketchy thought they were doing something wrong. However she still had no regrets.
" It's not what you think?" He knew they all thought he was with Amelia and he even forgot to tell Max that he wasn't. " Amelia and I aren't together."
" You mean you broke up with her."
" No I mean we were never together, we're just friends."
" You mean that you didn't have a thing going with her." OC asked completely confused.
" No, I said she wasn't my type and I meant that. It's you guys who just assumed that we were together."
Max couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was getting all worked up about nothing. She thought she was going to lose him that's the only reason why she did what she did. Now she had a regret, just one, that she ever made her feelings known.
" Well I didn't know you had it in you to be just friend with a girl who can't kick you ass." OC said. " I wish you all the happiness boo, and don't hurt my Max because Original Cindy ain't afraid to put the smack down on your ass, be it transgenic or human."
" Note taken ma'am," he said in a soldier voice.
" Well we have to go because we actually do work," Sketchy said when he heard Normal shouting his name in the back round.
OC and Sketchy left. He was alone with Max once more. He wanted to get back to what they were doing. He moved in to kiss her but she pulled away from him. " What wrong?"
" I have work to do," she said starting to walk away.
" Max." he called. She turned around. " Can I see you tonight?"
" I actually have something planned for tonight."
" Tomorrow?"
" I can't then either."
" The day after tomorrow." She shook her head. " After that," he said pleadingly. He was sounding desperate and he wasn't ashamed of it.
" Alec I can't."
He didn't understand why she suddenly didn't want to be with him anymore. Last night she said she needed him and now she was back to acting like he didn't matter. She didn't even want to see him. " Max did I do something wrong?"
" No, nothing's wrong," she said and walked away.
She was walking away from him, after he told her that he was in love with her, after he gave her all he had to give, she was walking away. He felt a pain unlike any other shoot through his body. He only felt this once before but this time it was worst because he didn't understand why.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later that night Alec went to Crash hoping not to see Max, and he did. He knew she was lying when she said she plans but he was still hoping that she had something more important to do. He sat at the bar and waited until she came to refill her drink, which she eventually did. She didn't notice he was sitting there. " So I guess this was just too important."
She jumped at the sound of his voice; she should have known he would be there. " Hi Alec," she said like she was annoyed.
" Hey Alec? What's that supposed to mean?"
" What do you think it means?" She asked timidly. She could tell he wasn't in a good mood, he wasn't even pretending to be OK.
" Let's not beat around the bush okay," his voice was now cracking. " Did what we share mean anything at all to you? I keep telling myself if it did you wouldn't be acting this way."
She was silent.
" So it was all casual to you?"
She was still silent only this time she was looking at her feet.
" You don't love me do you?" he asked.
She looked up from her feet, she still wasn't sure if she loved him or not. But he wanted an answer so she gave him one. " No I don't."
He nodded like he was taking it all in, " so why did you do it. Why did you pretend you needed me as much as I need you? Do you hate me that much?"
He didn't give her a chance to answer he just walked away from her. The look on his face was one she had never seen before. She wasn't sure if he was angry, hurt or both.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He wanted to get his mind off of Max so he did what any other guy would do. He found a cute girl to talk to. She was beautiful but not as beautiful as Max, she was rattling on and on but he wasn't listening, his mind was elsewhere. He couldn't take it anymore he had to leave. He got up without telling her he was going and just walked out the door. She some how saw that as an invitation and followed him out.
Max had been watching him the whole time. He was definitely going home with her. She began to regret what she told him and how she treated him. She wanted to apologize and make it up to him before he gave himself to someone else. She got up and rushed out the door but he was already gone.
NOTE: I know this chapter was badly written. But what id done is done.
PS didn't I tell you not to feel sorry for Max. Don't ask me why Max is acting like that. I don't even know and I'm the one writing it.
Next Chapter will have a little bit of overreacting on Alec's part. Then again when love is involved nothing seems like overreacting.
