Chapter 2-Alec's Surprise

Max had no idea what she was doing. Why she has ridden her motorcycle over and was walking up to his apartment.

Earlier she had just blindly gone through dressing. Almost. She didn't know why she had tried on like a hundred different outfits until she had settled on the one she now wore. A black sleeveless shirt that was two inches too short and a pair of extra tight jeans. Why she had chosen that outfit she had no idea. She had no idea what she was doing just a floor away from Alec and his apartment. She wanted to turn around and leave but something told her to keep going so she did.

Now she stood in front of his door. She listened with her enhanced hearing and heard just a tiny shuffling from the room that lay beyond the door in front of her. What made her uneasy was the noises were coming from all over the room. She almost turned to leave but something made her reach out and gently knock on the door. With that done the shuffling ceased from behind the door. Then footsteps could be heard heading for the door. Then the door opened, slowly, until it was fully opened.

"Hey Max," Alec said as he looked her over. His look making Max uneasy. He saw this and a smirk became to appear on his handsome features.

"Are you going to let me in or not?" Max finally said when she had found her voice.

"I guess," Alec said as he stepped away from the opening and let her pass.

Max observed that the lights were off but it didn't bother either of them because Max and Alec were both enhanced with night vision.

Then there was a huge chorus of "SURPRISE" and the shuffling of bodies as they stood from various hiding places. The lights suddenly turned on and Max took a step back, only to run into Alec's chest.

OC stepped forward and took Max's arm and led her around since Max had suddenly lost the use of her legs. All of Max's friends were there like Sketchy, Herbal, OC, and even Krit and Syl. Max visited with them for a while until all of the sudden music started. Max looked up and saw Alec next to a CD player and a huge stack of CD's. He just smiled at her and moved into the mass of dancing bodies.

Max danced and danced, catching up on what had happened to Krit and Syl and what she had missed in her week of moping around. She laughed more than she had laughed in the last month and had the best time of her life.

Slowly the mass of people thinned as some needed at least a little sleep before their shift at Jam Pony started. Finally it was OC, Alec, and Max left in Alec's apartment.

"Well sugar, I got to get some sleep before I have to hear Normal. See you at work," with that OC was out of the door.

Max slowly made her way to Alec's couch and sat down. Alec followed her and sat down beside her watching her face. They were so close that their shoulders were touching but neither moved away. Alec enjoyed the feeling that he felt at that moment.

Max just sat quietly next to Alec. At first she was a little uneasy but the feeling quickly passed and she relaxed. She realized that she could trust Alec. Slowly, so slowly that at first neither realized it, she leaned over against him.

Alec was just sitting there when he felt Max slowly, very slowly, lean into him. Then she laid her head on his shoulder. Alec was surprised and tensed for a second but relaxed against her touch. Then he gently laid his head on hers.

Suddenly an alarm went off. Max and Alec jumped away from each other and stared into each other's eyes.

Finally Max spoke, "Thanks for the party. It really cheered me up. I know I probably needed it."

"No problem," Alec said, his voice low.

Max finally broke the intense gaze and looked at Alec's clock. It was 7:45 a.m.

"I have to go if I'm going to get to work on time," Max slowly said. She didn't want to leave without showing Alec how really thankful she was. So she did the first thing she could think of, she leaned forward and kissed Alec on the cheek. Then Max quickly got up and went home to get ready for work leaving a very surprised and stunned looking Alec behind.
