CHAPTER: reservation
Max walked into Crash and spotted OC and Sketchy chatting over beer. " Hey," she said.
" Hey," they replied.
" So what did I miss?" she asked sitting down.
" Not much, except Sketchy making a complete fool out of himself."
" Hey she wanted me, she was just playing hard to get." Sketchy commented.
Max rolled her eyes. She then realized that Alec wasn't there. " Where's Alec?"
" He's not here."
" Oh," she said taking up OC beer.
" What's the matter boo, you sound a little disappointed."
" Well I don't like it when people say they'd do something then they don't."
" He was here but he went home. I guess he doesn't like that either."
Max looked at her watch, did she really spend so much time at Logan's. She missed spending time with Logan so much. He was one of her best friends and the virus thing was keeping them apart. Maybe she was there for so long because she tried to make it slip that he was sending her the gifts but he was an expert at lying. " I did take kind of long to get here didn't I?"
" Yeah you did," OC said. Her attention was diverted to a gorgeous blond at her bar, " you may have soured his night but mine is just about to get started." She walked over to the girl.
Max thought about it. Did she really sour his night? Since when did she not showing up have the ability to do that?
Max decided to pay Alec a visit the next day. She reached his apartment shortly after twelve. She knocked on the door but he didn't answer. She knocked again but he still didn't answer. She was about to go down the elevator when she saw him walking up the stairs. " Hey," she said.
" Max, what are you doing here?" he asked. He wasn't expecting to see her.
" Can't a friend come to visit?"
" Yeah, but you never do that?"
She shrugged her shoulders, " well now's a good time to start."
Alec opened the door with his keys. He pushed it opened and Max went in. He went in after her and closed the door. " So what have I done to gain this great privilege?" he said smiling lightly.
' Well you weren't at Crash when got there so I just wanted to see you."
He tried to hide the smile that was forming on his face. " Well you've seen me."
" I don't mean see you, I mean talk. You were telling me something back at Logan's."
" Don't worry 'bout that, it wasn't important."
" Oh," she said taking a seat.
" So."
" So I'll leave now," she said getting up.
He followed her with his eyes. " Wait, I'll drive back with you."
" You don't have to."
" Well you came all the way here, it's the least I could do." She smiled and nodded her head.
Max and Alec reached to her apartment to find someone sliding something under Max's door. " What the hell are you doing?" Max asked the stranger. The boy about eighteen for the oldest looked up at Max and Alec ran. " What was that about?"
" I have no idea," he said looking confused.
" You want to come in for a while?" she asked Alec. He nodded.
Max opened the door and walked in. " Cindy," she called. No one responded. " I guess she went to meat that the girl," she said picking up the package. Her name was written on it. " Another one." She said.
" Well open it."
She shook the box, " well it's not a bomb." She ripped off the brown rapping. There was a note. " A note, there's never been a note." She picked it up and read it: If you want to know who I am, be at Jenny's tomorrow night at eight.
" Hmm," Alec said when she finished reading it. " Are you going?"
" I guess," she opened the box that the note was stuck on. It was covered in white gift-wrapping paper. She removed the wrapping. " A dress," she said when she saw it. She lifted it out the box, she could tell it cost a lot and it was exactly her size. " Oh my this is so beautiful, no one has ever bought me a dress before."
" You don't really seem like a dress kind of girl," he added.
She folded it up carefully and placed it back in the box. " Oh my good what I'm goanna wear?"
He looked at her and raised an eyebrow, " my guess is that he most likely wants you to wear that, and the other stuff. I mean that's what Logan would do right."
" Your right, but the only problem is what if it isn't Logan. What if it is some freak. What if it's that kid we just saw. I mean he did bring it here and he did fit Normal's description."
" Well don't go," he said flatly.
" I can't just not go, what if it's Logan who sent him."
" Then go," he said.
" Alec you're not helping here. What if go there and I end up looking stupid with some kid whose voice is still changing. And what if I don't go and it turns out to be someone really nice."
" Well take the chance."
" I have an idea, why don't you just wait outside until I see who it is. If it's someone good, I stay, if it's someone bad I leave with you."
" So I'm a backer," he asked in shock.
" No just security."
" So I'm supposed to stand outside waiting to see if you get hooked up."
" Well you could come inside, I just didn't think you would have anything to wear. I mean it is a five star restaurant.
" I know that Max."
" Alec please just do this tiny favor for me. I'll do your laundry for a week."
He nodded, " you don't have to that. I'm capable of washing my own dirty clothes. I'll be there at eight."
She smiled and hugged him," thank you so much." He pulled back off of him and straightened her clothes. " Sorry,"
" Yeah, well I have to go now."
" Why?"
" You were right, I don't have anything to wear."
