" Hold it missy," Normal called out to Max before she walked out the entrance. " One more package before you go," he said handing a package in a red box.

Max frowned and turned around, " but it's four o clock."

" But you didn't come to work yesterday," he said mocking her voice.

She rolled her eyes and took the package and the form. When she locked at it she saw it was addresses to her. " Ok I'll deliver this," she said.

" Well get going, Bip."

" Ha, ha it's for me." She signed the form and walked out the door.

Max walked into her apartment some minutes later. She put down her bag pack and the package and went to the refrigerator. After she drank a glass of water she finally picked up the package. When she opened it she saw that the box had red roses in it. " Oh how cute," she said. She looked to see if there was a note that came with it but there was none. She knew who it was immediately * it has to be Logan * she thought. How she wished he could just move on and forget about her, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She lifted up each rose and smelt it, there was seven roses. She wasn't very girly or any thing but she liked it when she got flowers.

She walked out side to pay phone and dialed Logan's number. She waited for an answer. " Thanks." She said when some one picked up the phone.

" Huh."

She heard the voice and noticed it definitely was not Logan she was talking to. " Is Logan there?" she asked.

" Oh hi Max."

She realized the voice and it was Asha's. She didn't have anything against her but every time she heard her voice she would get annoyed, " Hi Asha."

"I'll go get Logan,"

" Hi Max, what up" Logan said sometime after.

" Hey yourself," she said playfully.

" So, you called,"

" I just wanted to say thanks for the flowers." She smiling and playing with the telephone cord.

" What flowers?" he asked totally confused.

" The ones you sent fro me," she said.

" I'm sorry but I didn't sent you flowers."

" Oh ok then," she said feeling embarrassed. " Well bye." * that was embarrassing * she said to her self. If Logan didn't sent her the flowers then who the hell did. She went back inside and locked through the box for a note once more. She still didn't find anything. Why would someone send her flowers and not write a note. How would she be able to thank them?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that night at Crash, Max Original Cindy, Alec and Sketchy sat a table drinking beer. Max still had her mind on the flowers she got so she decided to ask her friends what they thought about it.

" So today, I got some flowers from someone and they didn't leave a note." She said this causally making sure she didn't sound too faltered or worried.

" Oh how cute Logan sent Maxie flowers," Alec said in a babyish voice.

"F.Y.I it wasn't Logan."

" How are you so sure?"

" I already asked."

" You mean to say there are other men in this city besides Logan." He said sarcastically.

" Boy shut up," Original Cindy said. " What do you know about love?"

" A lot more than you think."

Max knew what he meant by that. She could detect a tinge of sorrow in his eyes when he said it but he hid it well from Cindy and Sketchy.

" I think flowers is so over done," said Sketchy.

"No it's not," said Max. " It's simple and sweet."

" And you like simple and sweet?" Alec asked like he doubted her.

" Yeah, I guess."

" I don't trust that some unknown lovesick puppy slash stalker is watching my girl and keeping his identity secret." OC said. " You know I'll have to open a can of wop ass for him."

" I'll be glad if Max could be with anyone besides Logan," Alec said. He didn't mean to say that out loud. He knew Max would fire back. " I mean Logan suppresses any form of happiness there is in our never happy Max."

"I was happy before I met you." She grunted.

" Really?" he asked like eh didn't care.

" Really," she said nodding her head.

" Well I'm sorry I made you so unhappy Max." he knew he sounded too serious when he said that. He didn't want her to think he cared or anything.

OC looked at Alec, she could tell he was hurt by what Max said. Max just turned away and said nothing. There was too much stiffness at the table. This was beer time not get angry time. " How 'bout we get more beer and then play a game of pool. Alec and I versus Max and Sketchy. Winner gets 100 bucks"

" Sounds fun, although I don't think Max could play that good though." Sketchy said. He too had noticed the stiffness.

" You'll see." OC knew her friend was good at pool and practically everything. " So y'all in or what?" she asked max and Alec.

" I'm in." Max said.

" Yeah what ever." Alec said.

NOTE: I wrote this a while ago but I didn't think it was good enough to post. I obviously changed my mind.
