Salaziah was sitting quite contentedly on Alec's shoulder when the knock
came. Hekeziah stuck his head around the door and grinned. Well at least he
grinned as much as a squirrel can grin. Alec looked at him suspiciously.
"What's going on Hekeziah?" He asked. Hekeziah grinned even wider and pushed the door open.
5 squirrels sat in a perfect row. Each with a pie strapped to its back. Behind them were two squirrels each with a can of whipped cream. And behind all the others was the biggest squirrel Alec had ever seen. It was the size of a large cat and was carrying a gallon of vanilla ice cream over his head.
"That's Sumoziah." Salaziah whispered in Alec's ear. "He is your personal body guard."
Alec nodded in shock.
"So are you hungry?" Hekeziah said rubbing his claws together.
"No that's fine." Alec said " But you guys can have as much as you want."
After all of his bitching about the pie Alec found he wasn't hungry. There was a lump in his throat that made it hard to swallow.
"The god is displeased with our offering?" Hekeziah asked.
"No no no no no." Alec said, "The offering is fabulous. I'm very pleased. I'm just not very hungry. Feel free to take whatever you like."
"Squirrels don't eat pie." Hekeziah said. "I'll leave them on the counter for when you want them." And with that everyone left and Alec was left alone with Sumo.
Sumo padded heavily into the other room and jumped none to gracefully up onto the counter. Once there he proceeded to eat the pies one by one. By the time Alec immerged from his room Sumo was starting the last pie.
"Bad squirrel." Alec said shaking his finger at Sumo and rescuing the remainder of the final pie. Sumo glared at him.
"Whoa!" Alec said putting his hands up. "Nice squirrelly. Hey I thought you guys didn't eat pie."
"Hekeziah doesn't eat pie." Sumo grunted. "He's on a low carb, low fat diet."
"A squirrel on a diet?" Alec asked incredulously while he cut a piece of the pie and stuck it in the fridge. He left the rest for Sumo who was soon too busy eating to answer his question.
Alec went back to his bedroom to sulk and Sumo followed with a deck of cards.
Max sprinted into Joshua's house only to be met by a ball of flying fur and claws that tore into her.
"Sumo!" Alec's voice came from the bedroom. A huge squirrel materialised out of the ball of fur. It watched her closely while she walked nervously to Alec's bedroom.
"What do you want Max?" Alec said wearily not even raising his eyes to her. Sumo jumped on the bed and he and Alec appeared to pick up a momentarily interrupted card game.
"I'm sorry." Max said.
"For what? Abandoning me for Logan? Having crazy mood swings? For making me believe that you might actually care about me?" Alec said bitterly as he picked up some cards.
"I do care about you Alec. I realise that now. I just thought that I wanted to be romanced."
"And what you've decided you prefer Alec's caveman knock a girl over the head and drag her back to my cave tactic better?" Alec looked up with fierce eyes and froze. "What the hell are you wearing?"
"Um this is a latex body suit." Max said not exactly sure how to present it.
"No offence Max but you look like a condom." He laughed. "I can't believe Logan actually believed that you would wear that for any extended period of time. I don't think that I'd want to be romanced in one of those either."
"It wasn't the bodysuit that made me leave." Max said.
"He hasn't had a shower yet has he?"
"No…but it's not that either. I don't know it just felt…Wrong" Max said searching for the word.
"Well I can see how a smelly man in a body condom could be seen as wrong."
"I know I hurt you Alec."
"Yeah Max, you did." Alec said quietly
"Do you forgive me?" Max asked hopefully.
" I don't know Max…,"He said sadly.
"Can you at least help me get this stupid suit off?"
Alec got up and pulled at the suit. It didn't budge. He tried again. This time the latex snapped back into place like an elastic and Max yelped.
"I'm stuck!" She groaned.
"No you're not." Alec said getting up on the bed and dangling Max by the fingertips of the suit as he attempted to get it off. "Ok Maybe you are." He conceded.
Sumo got up and stretched. He walked over to Max leisurely and ran a sharp claw down the center of the suit. It split open like a piece of ripe fruit and Max stepped out of it.
Symbolically in her mind she was shedding the skin in which she had been with Logan.
She looked at Alec and for the first time got butterflies in her stomach. They had been hanging out for the last hour and things seemed to have returned to normal.
"Guess what I've got." Alec said teasingly.
"What?" Max said tingling.
"A perfect piece of pie." He said.
"Really?" Max purred.
"Really. And I'm going to eat it all by myself."
"What kind?" Max asked.
"Blueberry."
"You wouldn't."
"Watch me." Alec got up and padded to the fridge. He pulled out the pie and a can of whipped cream, which he piled, in mountains on top of the pie. Then he grabbed a single fork and headed back to his bedroom.
"Sumo, wait outside this could get ugly." He told his bodyguard.
Alec sat down on his bed and dove the fork into the pie. Max followed trying to grab the plate. She got some whipped cream on her finger and sucked on it. Alec brought the fork to his mouth.
"This is so good!" He said pointing at the pie.
Max jumped on his back and reached for it. He held it just out of her reach, taunting her, teasing her. Her cheek was right next to his and her arms were rapped tightly around his neck.
"Please?" She whispered in his ear.
"Just a little bite." He said and turned around to face her. He dug the fork into the pie and brought it slowly to her mouth. He watched as her full lips closed on the fork.
"Mmm! This is so good." She mumbled. Alec took another bite. She leaned closer hoping for some more. Alec gave her another bite. Then he took another. He let her have the last bite. His hand was shaking as he raised the fork and missed its target slightly getting whipping cream on her nose.
"You've got something on your nose." He told her. She stuck her fingers in the leftover whipped cream and smirked as she ran them down his face.
"So do you." She whispered.
Alec leaned down very slowly and licked the whip cream off the tip of her nose. The whipping cream on his chin rubbed off in the place between Max's nose and mouth. Alec kissed her softly there. Then he slid down and lightly traced the outline of her mouth with his tongue. It was the most amazing feeling Max had ever had. She longed for him to capture her mouth in his. He continued to tease her and Max's cream coated finger's curled through his hair and pulled him into a deep kiss.
His hands found her cheeks and caressed her soft skin.
Max pulled away and looked deep into Alec's eyes. She didn't know exactly what to say. She knew that that was the most amazing kiss she had ever experienced but she didn't know how to tell him. Alec seemed to understand. His hands found hers and sticky fingers intertwined as he lay his forehead against hers.
"I forgive you Max." He said almost in a whisper. A tear rolled down Max's cheek. Alec kissed it away and hugged her close. Content to just hold her in his arms.
A/n I hope you liked that chapter. That whole pie scene was a reenactment of my very first kiss so be nice to it. I don't know if I did it justice.
"What's going on Hekeziah?" He asked. Hekeziah grinned even wider and pushed the door open.
