CHAPTER: Fireman
Max collapsed on the bed. Alec followed her. They had just returned from Crash. They weren't really tired but they just wanted to lie down. Max moved closer to Alec wrapped her hands around him. " That was run huh?"
" Yeah I guess," he said playing with her hair. She began to lift up his shirt. Her finger tracing out his muscles like a journey he was about to embark on. He shifted slightly. " Max I don't think we should---"
She stopped and looked at him dead in the eye. He didn't budge on his decision. She moved away from him and curled up under the sheet. She felt him put his arms around her but she shook him off. He was practically throwing herself at him and he just didn't think they should.
" Max, I-I" He really didn't know what to say. He moved away from her and went to the other side of the bed. He couldn't believe it, he finally had the girl of his dreams and she didn't even want him to touch her because he was being an idiot. The thing is he didn't want her to regret any moment they were together. He knew Max wouldn't want to rush things, he knew something or someone was making her feel like she had to. He didn't see why she would want to sleep with him when she didn't even have time get used to the fact that he was in love with her. Maybe that was it, she wasn't used to the fact the he was in love with her and only her and no one was going to take him away if she had him waiting for too long.
Max closed her eyes and began to think about what happened. It was official Alec didn't really want her anymore. This was what she was afraid of. He practically had her when he slept with Lana so all the mystery was gone. He was already tired of her before she even got a chance to be with him. She kept thinking that she could make him see that it would be different with her. It would be real. He just wasn't interested to find out. She felt her throat go dry. She couldn't believe the day had come when she would want to cry because Alec wouldn't sleep with her.
Max was glad to hear a phone go off before she started to cry. She waited for Alec to answer it. She heard him begin to talk.
" Alec here."
---
Lana was on the other line sounding frantic, " It's Lana." On hearing her name he handed the phone to Max, he couldn't believe Max had given her his number. " I need your help."
---- " Calm down where are you."
---- "Max, I thought it was Alec who answered."
----
" He did. What is what you need my help with?" ---- She didn't know Max was sleeping at Alec apartment. " My apartment is on fire. I need your help, the fire is out of control."
---- "I'm there." she hung up the phone and began to crawl out of bed. She was glad she didn't change her clothes yet. " Come on lets go."
" Where?" he asked. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with Lana again.
" Lana's apartment is on fire, she needs our help."
He stood up and frowned. " Is that what the fire department is for, I mean what can we do?"
She shoot him a nasty look, " It's not like we were doing anything."
When they arrived there the building was no longer noticeable. Lana sat in the corner with a towel wrapped around her. Firemen walked around the scene.
" Hey," Max said putting a hand on her shoulder. She looked up with a pair of bovine eyes. " I have no home," she cried. " Where will I live?" She began to sob in Max arms.
" Don't worry we'll find you a place to stay." Max knew all to well how scary it was out in the world with no one as a friend she thought the least she could do was give her a hand.
Alec stood back and watched the scene. And what a scene it was. He couldn't believe Max was falling for it. Why did she have to be so quick to help everyone?
" Where would I stay," Lana asked hoping she'd say Alec's. She just had to get close to him to make him see that she was right for him. Max stroked her wet hair and couldn't help but notice something was different about it. " You can stay at my old place, with OC and I'll move in with Alec."
She looked up and tried to spread a smile on her face, " thanks you're a real friend Max." it seemed the more she tried to get close to Alec the closer he was getting to Max.
" Let me check with OC and Alec first." She said. She walked over to Alec who was leaning against an old car. " Can I see your cell for a sec." He handed her the cell. She dialed OC's number and waited for her to answer. " Hey OC." ----
" Hmm," OC said on the other line. She was just about to fall in a deep slumber. She wasn't really sure what was going on.
----
" Can Lana be your new roommate?" ----
" Yeah," she said not knowing what she agreed to. She hung up the phone and went back to sleep.
Max looked at the phone for a while, that was rather rude of OC. She now looked at Alec. " Would you mind if I moved in with you. I mean I know you probably need your space and I will just be in your way."
He took her hands in his. " I will love for you to move in with me. You not in my way, I love being with you, you know that right."
She pulled away and began to walk, " sometimes I don't think so."
Lana sat watching it go on. She smiled to herself. Her plan was working Max's insecurity was pulling them apart.
NOTE: I should call this Single White Female gone Dark Angel. You'll see a lot more of Lana's obsessing.
I hope I finish this story soon. I hardly get reviews but I know I need to finish it.
