Chapter 7
Max took her time in the shower, washing her hair with that peach shampoo Logan had left at the side of the shower.
She smiled to herself while she was rinsing her hair, enjoying the fruity scent that now filled the air. It was hard to imagine Logan using this kind of shampoo, especially as she had thought that he didn't use any special hair care product for his short stubbly hair.
Anyway, Max liked the scent of it and she could feel that it made her wet entangled hair smooth and silky. Then she went on search for some body wash. She was already prepared to find something similar to the shampoo, when she found a regular apres-sport bodywash for men. It had a subtle but fresh and masculine scent to it, which instantly aroused her senses. Mhhhh! she thought, Just imagine a freshly showered Logan with that scent still lingering in the air.
The very moment she caught herself thinking those thoughts, she snapped the cap of the bottle close and put the body wash down. What was she doing there? Daydreaming about Logan, her, well, business partner and friend..? Max hesitated at the thought of the word friend.
Well was it that what they were? Were they friends or did they just have a business relationship...or were they even more than friends. She pondered that question for a while, but then she pushed the thoughts away. Why did everything have to be so confusing. Ever since she had met Logan Cale her life seemed even more unpredictable than it had been before. She had tried to keep her secret about Manticore and her growing up from everyone she had met. Only this man had seen her through from the beginning and he had continued to intrude in her life more and more each day, intentionally or not.
At first she had been wary about him. She had felt betrayed and unmasked by his sudden revelation that he knew who she was. So she had refused to work with him. She had tried to ignore him and avoid his contact. But eventually, after he had been shot, it had just seemed impossible to ignore him anymore. She felt guilty and responsible for what had happened to him, for she knew or assumed that if she had helped him and his protégées, the shooting could have been avoided.
So she had secretly visited him in hospital come back to him after some long weeks of insecurity.
Looking back she had done the right thing. He had eventually become the first person she had learned to trust, so far. She had told him everything about her being a genetically enhanced killer machine, about the training at Manticore, about the escape...Thinking about it, she realised that she did not know a thing about Logan, except for what he did with Eyes Only. But had he ever told her anything else about his life? No. But then, she had never asked. She had not even asked him what had happened to his parents.
To be honest, she had always assumed that anybody who didn't have to grow up in Manticore couldn't have had a very bad life, so why ask. Suddenly she felt stupid for thinking like that.
But as her own personal rules strictly said, that it was dangerous to talk too much and reveal your secrets and weaknesses, she obviously wasn't a great talker. But now it was probably time to give her best. She needed to find out what was going on and why Logan was acting so weird.

Okay this was only a short filler. But the next one is longer!
