CHAPTER: Sleep to dream.
" I will always let you win," he said softly. " You're my weakness." He turned away from her confused gaze. " You know like Super Man has kryptonite, I have you."
" Alec," she said softly. " Was it a joke?"
He turned to face her again. She was actually acknowledging the fact that he could have feelings for her. " What would you say if I told you it was a joke?"
She took a deep breath, " I would say: okay then, and we'll just go on as normal."
" And what you say if I told you I wasn't a joke."
" I would say; thank you, and then we could talk about what it means."
He swallowed hard, " it wasn't a joke at all."
She looked at him for a while before saying anything. If it was a joke she could deal with that. She didn't know how to deal with this. It was confusing to her, she and Alec fought from the time they new each other. Why would he want to give her anything? " Thanks then."
" Um hum."
"I guess this is the part where we discuss it."
" I guess," he said looking for something to look at other than her.
" So why didn't you just say it was you?"
He took a deep breath, " I thought you needed to smile a little and I knew it would just stress you out more if you found out it was me. When I saw you liked the roses-- I guess I kind of got a little carried away with all the other stuff."
" A little," she said with a light laugh. " I appreciate it though." She looked up at the sealing and then back to him. " Weakness? Why am I your weakness?"
Now this was getting a little dangerous. " I don't know. I just let you get away with stuff I don't let other people get away with."
" Why is that?"
" Why all the questions?"
"Well if you just tell me what you're thinking then I wouldn't have to ask all these questions."
He was getting a little nervous. What if he told her the truth and she didn't feel the same?
" Why are you sweating?" she said looking at him like he was going to explode. " It's not even warm or anything?"
" I can't help it, you're making me nervous."
" Since when did I have the ability to do that?"
" Since you keep asking questions."
" Well this involves me so I have the right to know." She knew this was killing him, but it was so much fun to watch. " Now tell me why before I hurt you."
" Ok then," he said. " I guess it's because I don't want you to be mad at me, so I just let you have your way."
Hmm that was it. And there she was thinking that he had some kind of feelings for her. " Oh okay then."
" You sound a little disappointed, what did you think it was?"
" Now who's asking questions?" Max took up the pillow from under her head and hit him with it. He took it and hit her back. " I thought you said you'll let me get away with it." She hit him back. " Not every thing," he said hitting her with it again. Max sat on top of him and pinned his hands down to the bed. " Say you're sorry."
" I'm sorry," he said with false sincerity.
" Say it like you mean it," she insisted.
" But I don't mean it," he teased. " Why say something if you don't mean it." She let go of him and punched him. He took her by the wrist. " Stop that."
" Or what?"
" Well nothing, but that actually hurts," he said still holding her wrist.
" Okay I promise not to hurt you if you let me go," she said smiling innocently. He let her go. She was about to punch him again but she decided against it. " You're lucky I'm not feeling to beat you up today." She got off of him and went back to his side. She moved closer to him and put head on his shoulders.
He put his arms around her. He was expecting her to snap at him but she was silent. He liked having her this close. " You're sleepy or something?"
" No, I don't need sleep remember."
"Cold?"
" No, not really."
" So how are you feeling?"
" Just cozy." She put her arms around his waist. " Let's just listen to the rain fall for a while."
" Okay, I don't really see the point in that but okay."
"Shhh." They listened for a while, " it's amazing isn't it?" she waited for a response. " Alec." He didn't answer. She looked up and saw he was sleeping. " Get up." She said. He opened his eyes. " You don't sleep till I'm ready to."
" Sorry but listening to that rain was kind of boring."
" You don't understand the beauty of nature."
" I understand the beauty of you."
He face went hot. " You think I'm beautiful?"
" Well yeah, your like second to me," he said with a laugh. That earned him a punch. " I thought you said you wasn't going to beat me up today."
" Well I changed my mind." She got up from next to him and went in the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the fridge. She placed it on the table next to him. " I get thirsty in the night."
" I'll remember that."
" Why would you have to, it's not like I'm ever going to sleep at your apartment again."
" I know I was just saying."
She leaned over him and smile, " unless there's some kind of uncontrollable circumstance." He just smiled. " Stop smiling."
" Why?" he askedd in shock.
" Because I say so."
" I think you're taking this: Me letting you get away with things to far, I mean now you want to tell me what I should----" she put her finger on his mouth.
" Shhh," she whispered. She looked down at him and into his eyes. He gazed back at her like he wasn't sure what she was doing. She sighed loudly and sat up straight with her back now facing him. She took up a pillow and a sheet, " I think I'll sleep on the couch." She waked away she could feel his eyes on her as she walked.
She put the pillow on the couch and went on it. *What's my problem* she thought. Why did she have this uncontrollable urge to be with him and by the looks of it he didn't feel the same way?
NOTE: I know what you're thinking: How come she always stretches it. Don't worry it will happen eventually. I just couldn't do it then. It seemed too soon after she found out it was him. It will seem like she likes him because he spent all that money on her. I don't want it to come across that way at all. Anyways, I hope you liked it.
Reviews please. This story is taking longer than I thought. I'll finish maybe in two chapters.
PS I have some stories I'm working on but I already have so 2 others out so I'll just release one. The thing is which one do I release.
There's a pretty dark one. It's not happy like this story. It's very gloomy but it's Max/ Alec.
There's a short one. Very short, one chapter to be exact. There's kind of a Christmas feel to it.
And last there's another one with a similar vibe to this one. I haven't written any from this one yet but it's all in my head.
So which should I release first?
