CHAPTER: Overwork.



Alec walked in his apartment and found Max flipping trough channels. " Hey," he said resting down his bag. " I brought your clothes and breakfast." She turned of the TV and walked to the counter.

" What's breakfast?"

" Donuts."

"Ok thanks," she opened the box and took out a chocolate donut and began to eat it. " What did you bring for me to wear." She held the donut between her teeth and used her hands to pull out the clothes. She looked at it. " You had to bring the black underwear huh."

" You would have said that no matter what I took."

She nodded. " Yeah, you're right."

He looked at her and smiled for a moment. What OC told him still had him feeling butterflies in side. She gazed back him with a confused look on her face. He laughed lightly.

" What?"

He shook his head, " Nothing." He took up his beg and walked to the door. " See yuh at work."

" Yeah bye."



Max walked in Jam Pony on time for a change. She walked up and checked the board to see what sector she was running. It was the same sector as OC. She glanced in the back and saw OC and Sketchy engaged in what she was certain was a completely ridiculous argument that OC was winning. She walked over to them. " Hey," she said.

" What up boo?" OC said looking relieved to see a person with basic common sense was now in her company.

" Not much," she said with a light laugh.

" So you gonna wait until Christmas to tell me 'bout the guy."

She laughed. " Lets get going and I will tell you while we're riding."

"So what, it's a girls only conversation." Sketchy asked. He himself wanted to know who it was.

"Yes," Max and OC said together. They walked over to the dispatch counter. " Some packages needed here," Max said. she never thought the day would come when she would say that.

Normal got up form the below the counter. " Well, Well if it isn't Miss I'm too good for everything."

" What's your problem, I'm early?" She said defensively.

" Just take these," he aid angrily. If he couldn't quarrel with her for being a complete idiot he decided he'd overwork her. He gave her no less than ten packages and handed a single package to OC.

OC smiled, " It's about time you gave Original Cindy a break." Max gave her a deadly look. " And you should give Max one too."

" Forget it." Max said. She took the packages and headed out the door followed by OC. She unchained her bike and got on. OC got on hers. " What's his problem with him anyway?"

" Who knows?"

She began to peddle off. " So Max about the guy." OC said. She had a feeling Max was trying to avoid the conversation. " Describe him form head to toe."

Max smiled again. " Well he's about six feet. Brownish, blondish hair, very sexy lips and the most amazing shade of hazel eyes ever."

" How come I've never seen this guy, if I did I might convert," she said smiling. Max burst out in laughter. " So does the guy have a name?"

Max bit her bottom lips. She imagine what OC would say when she said Alec.

" Well Max, speak up."

" Alec his name is Alec."

" Hmm two good looking guys with the same name. What are the odds?" OC said twisting her mouth. It never occurred to her it was the same guy.

" OC it's Alec, as in the one that works and hangs out with us." OC fell off her bike and quickly got back up. From the look on her face she could tell OC was surprised. " I know I was surprised too."

Finally finding the words, " I knew that he liked you but I never thought he was the one sending those things. Where did he get the money? He must really like you to spend all that money on you," she babbled. " You know how Alec loves his money, Full out C-R-E-A-M boy. So what did you tell him when he told you?"

" I told him that I can't stand him," she said reminiscing about the night before.

" Girl if you weren't my best friend I would tap you."

" What? It's not like he meant anything by it."

" Gosh Max, Manticore really made you totally clueless about affection. From what I see, I think he has feelings for you. Probably more that he would ever let on or be able to explain. And you know what else I think, I think you feel the same way, you just don't know it yet, or afraid to feel it."

Max looked at her a raised an eyebrow. If OC was so good at analyzing people why the hell was she working Jam Pony, she should be some kind of shrink. She just rode for a while and let what she said sink in.

The day went by so quickly, she didn't get a chance to see Alec again for the day. She didn't know why she was looking forward to seeing him but she was. To her disappointment he never showed up to crash that night. And OC kept urging her to go see him but being stubborn Max she refused to.

She reached home around two in the morning and crawled under her covers. She didn't need sleep but she sure was tired. She just began to close her eyes when she heard a knock on the door. " Who the hell is that?" she asked her self.

She walked to the door and opened it and found Alec staring back at her. " Why are you here at this hour."

He pouted, " Nice to see you too."

" Sorry I'm kind of tired. So what brought you here?"

" I want to show you something."

" You want to show me something, can't it wait till tomorrow."

" No, it can't. This is possibly a once in a lifetime thing. You need to see it now."

She sighed. "Okay," she mumbled in defeat. " This better be good or your ass gets it."

" It's really good, trust me."

Max went back inside and changed her clothes to the ones she had on before. " Let's go."
