Max was driving her bike through town, she just came from Logan's place and was heading home. The streets were deserted, there was no one on the road, so she could just race as fast as her ninja could take her without worrying about hitting someone else.
She finally arrived home. She went into the building and headed to her apartment. Zack, Alec and OC were waiting for her, but she didn't know that.
She entered her apartment and closed the door behind her. Zack walked up to her.
"Hey! Where've you been?" Zack asked
"I was at Logan, you knew that."
"Yeah, but that was like three hours ago Max, what have you been doing for three hours?"
'three hours, have I really been gone that long? Talking to Logan,. that didn't take that long.'
"Ehm, I guess I was out riding all that time." She replied "guess I lost track of time, so what are y'all doing here?"
"Waiting for you." Alec said while turning around
'Alec, what's he doing here? This looks serious, maybe it's about Iris'
"Why?"
"We have to talk about Iris, she could become a threat, we need to make sure she can't hurt us." Her brother replied "Max, we read her whole notebook, we saw all the pictures in the album, she's ready to kill, to kill you if she has to."
"Kill me? Why? I didn't do anything."
"No, but to her you did by being close to Ben, and now being close to Alec."
"I'm not close to Alec!" she shouted out, defending herself. 'oh no, he told them, he told them we kissed, how could he do that? I guess I'd better explain myself' "Okay, so I care about him, I care about all my friends, maybe I care a bit more about him but so what if I kissed him, it was very emoti." she stopped, everyone was starring at her.
"Max. I didn't." said Alec "I didn't tell them about that, I thought you didn't want them to know, cause you and Logan."
"You didn't tell them? Well what was that being close to Alec about?"
"I didn't mean close as in, you two are together, I meant close as in, close friends." Zack replied
"Oh." Max said softly 'oh, he didn't say anything, but I did. boy this was a stupid move'
"Wait, you two kissed?" Zack started to look all confused "When, why? I didn't think you guys were like that."
"We kissed when I saved him at Iris's place, I was very emotional I didn't want Alec to die, she said you would kill him. I couldn't bare seeing him die and."
"I think you two should talk." Said OC from the kitchen, she heard the whole conversation.
"Yeah, I agree, we should talk Max." Alec replied
"Yeah, come on we'll go to my room." Max headed for her room, Alec followed her.
"Well, I didn't expect that to happen, I mean, I know they care about each other but."
"I know OC, and here I thought I had my baby sister all figured out. Guess there are a lot of things I don't know about here."
The silence was nerve-racking, neither of them wanted to start talking, this was really uncomfortable. They both knew they had to talk eventually. Max sat down on her bed, Alec grabbed a chair and also sat down. They were facing each other but they still refused to talk. The whole situation was pretty tense.
"I can't hear them talking, can you with your Manticore hearing or whatever?" OC asked Zack
"Nope, that's cause they aren't talking. Maybe they're both shy, or neither of them want to start the conversation." He replied
They were still just starring at each other, they didn't move, talk, they were hardly breathing. A normal person would think they were holding in their breath. It looked like they were having a starring contest or something. Suddenly,. movement., one of them actually moved. It was Alec, he shifted his chair closer to Max without leaving her eyesight. Their legs were touching now. Max felt his leg against hers but she still didn't move. Alec decided to make the first move.
"One of us should start talking. That's what they call a conversation these days." He said
"Well, I know and you just did." She replied, he shifted his char even closer.
"I know, I wanted to break the ice."
Silence struck again. She didn't say anything about him moving closer to her, she didn't mind. Alec moved his head closer to hers, until their heads touched. They were almost lip to lip. She could feel his breath against her face, against her lips, she closed her eyes. Her heart started to pound faster, she started to breathe faster. Then she held in her breath, slowly opened her eyes, starring right into his and kissed him, gently. Once. Alec was quite surprised by her kiss, not that he didn't like it, he just never thought she would ever make the first move.
IRIS'S PLACE
Vic, still in his room on the phone with Jess.
"Vic, haven't heard from you in a long time."
"Yeah I know, I was tracking down Iris." Vic replied
"I heard she found 493."
"Yeah, well sort of, it's not him, he's a clone or a twin or something, anyway I need you here. She's gone insane again. She thinks it's him, Ben. You set her straight once, you can do it again. I need you to come here."
"I don't know Vic, I don't think its such a good idea."
"What? Do you want her to kill him? We can't let her do this, not again."
"I know, but she nearly killed me the last time and you know how I feel about your sister. If you hadn't stepped in."
"I know Jess, I know you love my sister and that you would die for her, you almost did. But you can't let someone else die because of her. You have to set her straight and get her out of here."
"Alright, I'll come. Where are you?"
Vic told him where he was and what was going on with Iris.
MAX'S PLACE
"Max. what are you doing?" he whispered "We can't do this, you and Logan."
"are over." Max replied "I told him we kissed, I care about you Alec."
In the kitchen
"So??? What are they talking about?" OC asked impatiently
"Ssshh, if you keep asking me that I won't be able to hear what they're saying." Zack replied "She just told him that she told Logan about their kiss and.. Oh, ehm you know what if you want to know, you're gonna have to ask her yourself OC."
"What? Why? Why can't you tell me, you already know what they're saying, so why can't you tell me?"
"She doesn't even know I'm listening to her, the conversation is private, between her and Alec" he said hinting her.
"Oooohh, okay I'll ask my boo later." She replied smiling
Alec and Max emerged from the bedroom. They walked past OC's room and the bathroom into the kitchen.
"So?" Zack asked
"We're alright now. Right Alec?"
"Right." He smiled at her, he was still confused.
LOGAN'S PLACE
Logan was still sitting on the couch, trying to figure out what happened, where he'd gone wrong, if he even did anything wrong.
"Alec?.. Why him? Why now?"
He stood up and started pacing around the room.
"Maybe it's cause they're alike. They're both transgenics, he knows where she's been what she's going through, how she feels. But he's not right for her, I am, aren't I. I use to be."
IRIS'S PLACE
"Vic? What are you doing in there? You're suppose to help me figure out what to do about Ben!" she shouted and walked over to the door of the room where Vic was in. She was just about to open the door when Vic beat her to it.
"Hey there sis! What ya doing?" he asked
"What were you doing in there?"
"Nothing, minding my own business, what were you doing?"
"Trying to figure out what to do about Ben and Max."
"Don't you mean Alec?"
"Alec, Ben they're the same." She replied
