A/n well this chapter is a bit different (they actually do something!)
Whenever I read M/L fics and they get married they always seem to have a tiny wedding so I was thinking about going full out and giving them a big one- just to be different, what do people think? Don't even know if I will get to the wedding in this story I just liked the idea of them being engaged.
By the way, does anyone know anything solid about JA&MW? Cos' now there are lots of rumours about them being together still, lets hope they are-
Enjoy the chapter!!!
The Taxi Ride
Logan and Max rode down in the elevator in silence, each having their own thoughts about this trip they were about to embark on together. As they stepped out onto the street they were greeted by a middle-aged, small, round man in a well pressed suit and slicked back hair holding the door of a shiny, black car open.
" You must be Mr Cale." The man extended his hand to Logan and shook it warmly as he turned his gaze to the vision that was Max.
" And you, you must be Mrs Cale. My name is Mr O'Neil," The man concluded as he took Max's hand and kissed it politely. Max was stunned by his words and was about to open her mouth to tell the man that they weren't married when the man spoke up again.
" It's very nice to meet both of you, I will be taking you to the airport where the plane will be waiting."
"Thank you." Logan smiled as she gestured Max to get into the car and then slid in next to her and let the little man close the door behind them.
Inside the car the interior was stylish with leather seats and blacked out windows the two rows of seats were tinted too so that the driver could see into the back seat but only hear them by an intercom system when it was switched on. Logan chose not to switch the com on but rather to turn and talk to Max in private.
" You ok?" he asked as he interlaced his fingers with hers which he noticed her nails were manicured.
"Sure just wondering why everyone seems to think we're married." She half joked as she avoided eye contact. Logan probably didn't need her insecurities to ruin his trip.
" Well, that would probably be my fault." Logan admitted as he tried to search her face for any emotions she was feeling but to no avail so he continued.
" High Society looks more fondly on couples who have been adjoined by God, it seems it grants you a whole new state of power especially for travailing in style, and if you have the money. I'm sorry Max but I just wanted this trip to be special and comfortable for you, we only have to pretend until we get to the hotel then we can go to being the same old Logan and Max." Logan sighed and turned to look out of the window afraid that he had upset Max and so early into their trip. It really hadn't occurred to him that she would mind he knew he wouldn't but he realised now that it may have made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Max smiled to her self as he looked away thanking who ever it was that sent him to her; he was the sweetest man alive either that or he was a damn good actor! He actually looked sorry as if she would mind being Mrs Cale for Christ's sake hell, she would love it!
" Look Logan I was only saying, I don't mind and I know your going to make this trip wonderful because you always do, that's who you are and I wouldn't love you any other way." Logan looked up to see Max beaming at him and he suddenly knew that he would never see someone so beautiful ever again. But, suddenly she was talking again, //hang on I thought that that was a perfect moment, what's she doing speaking in it? // He asked himself but what she did say was well worth listening to in his opinion and it snapped him out of his thoughts pretty quickly.
" Besides, it's not as if I would mind being Mrs Max Cale." She stated as she looked out of the window and had to stop herself from bursting out laughing from his reply,
" What? Really?" he asked as his eyes lit up in excitement like a little boy at Christmas. She turned to face him and spoke again, " Logan, it's not as if it would be a chore it would be like the dream life every girl hopes for."
He lifted her head to look up at his with his finger, " even you?" His eyes searched hers and she found that she was falling in love with him all over again for about the millionth time.
She smiled up at him // well, not exactly the light convo I expected on the way to the airport but it's interesting at least// she thought as she answered him.
" Yes, especially someone like me." There, she had told him in around about way that she thought that one-day marriage would be along the line for them and that she wasn't scared of it. That wasn't so hard. //Uh-oh, hang on I thought that was a perfect moment, what's he doing speaking in it? //
Right well, not exactly the conversation I expected we were going to have on the ride to the airport but hey, when do Max and I ever have regular anything? Right Cale now's your chance if you want it, take it what have you got to loose? 'My self dignity,' an opposing voice in his head answered.
" Max, I have loved you since the moment I met you, you know that and these last few months have been the best time in my life ever. You are the most amazingly beautiful, passionate, smart, tender person I know and speaking about this whole marriage thing now has just made me realised that I don't want to be with anyone else again, ever." Logan looked up into Max's eyes and was spurred on by the love that he saw there, so being that the man that he is he continued, needing desperately to show and tell Max how much she meant to him. " So, do you think you could even consider letting me take you permanently off the market and marrying me?"
O god, ok girl, breathe easy, take big calming breaths. OC is going to have a field day with this! Marriage, I'm not meant for marriage, I'm a solider, what good could I be to him as his wife I'm certainly not the type of woman who fits into his life style very well. But the other voice in her head was battling hard against this one. Come on Max, this is all you have ever wanted, someone to take care of you, to love you for the rest of your life. This is Logan, the guy who you picture your self with for the rest of your crummy life, the guy you would die for in an instant, the guy to taught you how to be human and love and made you give a damn. Are you honestly going to give that up and decline him? OK, it's now or never I suppose.
" Yes," was all Max could whisper as her hands trembled as he took hers in his.
" God Max," Logan exclaimed feeling he was about to burst of happiness with the reality that he had just got engaged to the best woman on the face of the earth. " I promise that I will try and make you happy for the rest of our lives, I- I love you," He finished as Max's lips descended upon his.
" I know, and I love you to Mr Cale." And, just as the couple sealed their engagement the sound of an unfamiliar male voice sounded, " We're here!"
Whenever I read M/L fics and they get married they always seem to have a tiny wedding so I was thinking about going full out and giving them a big one- just to be different, what do people think? Don't even know if I will get to the wedding in this story I just liked the idea of them being engaged.
