NOTE: let me answer some questions first.
Bill Gates being rich after the pulse. You are so right that doesn't make sense.
Max being early.
Lets just assumed the clock broke the day before and she didn't notice. Let's say it stopped working 9:45am on Thursday and on Friday when it is actually 8:20am she looks at the clock and sees 9:45 so she thinks she is late. Make sense?
NOW: can I just say you guys have been so generous with the reviews. And to think I didn't wan to post this story. THANKS A LOT. YOU GUYS ROCK.
CHAPTER: Problem Child
Max opened her eyes to rainy Saturday morning. It was the perfect day to stay curled up in bed, but her pager thought differently. She picked it up and looked at it, it was from Logan. Staying in bed suddenly didn't seem like a good idea. She put a robe over her nightclothes and took an umbrella and went to use the pay phone just outside of he apartment. She put the coins in and dialed his number. " Hey." She said trying to talk over the noise of the pouring rain.
" Max, I'm glad you called. I need a favor."
A favor? She didn't mind at all, after all he had been doing for her. it was the least she could do. " What is it?"
" I need you to baby sit for me."
" What?"
" It's only for an hour or so. I just have a lot of things to do today and I can't get out of talking him."
" Okay," she said. She knew she was good with Kids.
Max arrived at Logan's an hour later. She let herself in. " hey Logan," she called.
" Max," he yelled from somewhere on the living room floor.
She looked down to see the a little boy pulling Logan all over the place. " Need some help." The little boy looked up. " Hey there little boy what's your name." She asked in a childish voice.
The boy rolled his eyes. " Is that your call girl?" he said looking at Max in a disdainful manner. Max's mouth hang open. " Excuse you," she said to the boy. Where did he get off calling her a call girl?
" You heard me," he said. " Uncle Logan, I don't like her."
Max looked at Logan in disbelieve. She didn't think that such a small boy could have such a foul mouth. " How old is he?" she asked.
" He's nine." Logan said.
" Can I talk to you over there for a just a sec please." She said pointing to the kitchen. He followed her to the corner of the room. " Who told him I was a call girl?"
Logan laughed. " I said I was going to call a girl. He must have said that because he hears it around his house a lot."
She nodded. " I thought you were a only child?"
" I am, that's my cousin's child. But he calls me uncle."
" Oh."
" So you up to it?"
Max twisted up her face. He was going to be a challenge and she liked challenges. " Yeah okay."
At the sound of that Logan ran out the door. Max sighed and looked at the boy who had a peevish grin sped across his face.
Ten minutes later Max was fed up of the child. She still didn't know his name and he was driving her nuts. He had this never-ending burst of energy that she couldn't keep up with. " Why are you doing this to me?" she asked the child.
" Because I hate girls." The boy shouted and throwing one of Logan's antiques on the floor.
She thought about it, who would be better to take care of a boy other than a boy. She had an idea. She'll call Alec and ask for help. She picked up the phone and dialed his number. " Hey Alec," she said when he picked up.
" Hey," he said. He wasn't expecting to hear form her.
" Alec I need a favor."
" Fire away,"
" I'm baby sitting and this kid is not co operating."
He was a little confused. " What can I do about that?"
" Well first of all he says he hates girls, so you're not a girl."
" So you want me to come and help," he said finishing her sentence.
" Exactly."
" Okay, where is this?"
" Logan's"
He rolled his eyes. Why wasn't he surprised that she would be doing it for Logan. " I'll be there shortly."
He showed up a few minutes after. " Hey," he said when he entered.
" Alec thank god," Max said from the same place where Logan was when she came in. The boy decided to play ' Pull Max's Hair' which left max looking like she stepped out of the 1980s.
Alec laughed when he saw her. " What happened to you?"
" He happened," she said pointing at the boy, who was looking at Alec.
Alec turned his attention to the boy. " Hey you what's your name?" he said angrily. he wasn't mad at the kid or anything he just wanted to scare him.
The boy looked stunned by Alec's tone. " Rick," she said shyly.
" Ok Rick, I'm Alec." The boy nodded. " I'm her friend, I don't like what you did to her."
" Sorry,"
" Good boy." Alec said parting him on his head. " So why don't you go play in Logan's room while I talk to her."
Max looked at him in amazement. She now understood how to deal with spoilt children. " Thank you soo much Alec."
" No problem." He said sitting down. Max sat next to him.
" So what are you doing on Valentines night?" Max asked him.
He raided his shoulders. " I don't know, it depends."
" On what?"
" If things go my way."
She didn't even bother to venture there. Alec was always trying to be enigmatic. " If things go my way, I'll have a date."
He knew she was referring to Logan but still he hoped. He sat there looking at the mess that Rick had made. "You're pretty sure it's Logan huh."
" Yeah well it makes sense doesn't it?"
" Oh Maxie love doesn't always have to make sense. Sometimes you'll find love in the person you least expect.
She let his words sink in. What was he talking about? She knew he said it with a purpose like he was trying to tell her something. " And which person is that?'
" I don't know, that's for you to find out." He said looking at her. She gazed back at him. She found herself gazing intently at his lips. He turned away form her gaze. " If it's Logan you'll know, if it's not you know it right now but you won't admit it to yourself."
Max looked at him for a moment. She tried to register what he was saying. She leaned against the chair and he leaned back with her. She looked at him again. " You know something Alec, you're one of my best friends."
" Yeah right."
She hit him on his shoulder, " Seriously."
" Well you would be my best friend if I wasn't so in." he stopped himself. He almost said too much, heaven forbid that ever happened.
" In what?" she whispered not talking her eyes off his.
He could feel that his eyes were revealing the truth. That was always his weak spot, he could fool anyone by saying untrue things but if you looked into eyes you could see the truth. Max knew that. He turned away from her gaze once more. " In so much pain," he said rubbing his shoulders and laughing lightly.
She knew that wasn't what he was going to say. She knew what it was but she wasn't ready to face that. So she just ignored it. It was too difficult, it was such easier with her wanting Logan. How could she be with Alec, he represented everything she hated: ego, vanity and selfishness. But somehow at the same time he represented everything she needed: someone who understood her and what she went through, someone she could touch, and most importantly someone she knew she could trust.
She needed to stop thinking about it, so she changed the topic, " Crash tonight?"
" Yeah, I said that yesterday didn't I." He said blankly. He always wondered why conversations between himself and Max always seemed scripted, like it was planned. They never said what was on their minds. He knew it, she knew it, so why did they always have to play that game. The game that involved pretending that they didn't have feeling for each other. He knew he had to end it. He didn't want to play anymore. He had to tell her how he felt once and for all.
" Max," he started.
" Yeah," she said catching the look in his eyes.
"HEY I'm BACK," Logan said from the doorway. His eyes spotted Alec on the couch with Max, " hey guys."
Alec turned away one last time form her gaze. " Hey Logan,"
" So you met my second cousin."
" Yeah," he said dryly.
" Quite a handful huh," he said laughing.
" No he's actually quite quiet,"
" Are you sure we're talking 'bout the same person here?"
" Alec got him to behave himself," Max informed standing up.
" You couldn't handle him huh Max?" he asked smiling. " I didn't know Alec could make such a good nanny."
Alec laughed at his joke. He couldn't be angry with Logan as much as he tried. He could be so much fun sometimes then he could be so boring. Then again they all had the trait. " Listen I have to go," he said looking at Max. He was interrupted and he wanted to finish what he stated. " You coming?" he asked her biting his lips.
Max wanted to stay and talk to Logan. It had been a while since they talked. " I think I'll stay here for some time. I'll see you at Crash okay." She replied.
He nodded and walked out the door. She wasn't interested in what he had to say. He didn't think he could keep up the act anymore but he was forced to. She didn't even have a problem with it. Was it that she was so strong or was all the weakness him?
NOTE: I'm sorry 'bout the long wait. I have been having such a bad week.
I missed most of Dawson's Creek (Stupid electrical company). It was ten o'clock here when it finished. I was so annoyed that I went in my bed after. The next day I had a writer's block.
Anyways
Did I ever say that live in the Caribbean, Trinidad to be exact? So the time is different, an hour behind. You see Dark Angel is bringing people from all over the world together.
Oh and I stole two lines, one from a show and one from a song. If you guys spot it I will be surprised.
And did you guys see the preview for next week's Dawson. First there's No Doubt who I really like then it's an episode with a lot of Jensen. However Jensen's character is such a jerk. Spreading his seeds all over campus. Pacey and him are going to have a fight. Also I read somewhere that he's only in six episodes. I hoped they extend his stay.
And Jessica Alba has a new hairstyle. It's for her Honey movie. I'm not sure if I like it or hate it, I saw a quick flash. It was on NYLA on BET. I was channel surfing and I saw someone looking like her so I turned it back and it was her.
Anyways: reviews please. Don't worry I know exactly what to do in the next chapter. This is the only one I was confused about. So I kind of made anything up. That's why it may have come off as pointless.
