Chapter 6: Are you going to act on instinct?
**********************************
After Zack and Max had left Zane's they were both distancing themselves from the other. Zack finally broke the ice between them after not talking for 4 hours.
"So."
When she didn't reply he spoke again, "Max, I'm kind of tired. Do you think we could get a room?"
"Yeah, make sure it has 2 beds though." She called after him.
Zack walked in the motel and got a room. Making sure he had 2 beds. When he came back out Max was standing there looking at her feet.
"What's wrong Maxie?" he asked.
"Nothing," she replied quickly, a little too quickly.
"Okay," he said letting it go. "Let's go I got a room."
When Max made a movement a shadow crept forward and pointed a gun to Max's head.
"Your not going anywhere." A sly voice said. "Or, your little girlfriend here is going to get it."
He recognized it as Lydecker's voice, but what Lydecker didn't realize was that he was holding an X5 also. He thought Max was a normal.
Zack tried to tell Max, but it wasn't working. Max was confused, and then she got it.
'Lydecker didn't know that she was an X5, he thought she was a normal.'
After that thought she blurred from his grasp and took his gun and pointed it at him.
"Max" he asked confused.
"No," she said sarcastically, "It's her fairy godmother, of course it's Max."
Max handed the gun to Zack, then they turned and ran as fast as they could. They ran almost all the way to the border of Texas. When they stopped Zack pulled Max into a hug.
"I thought I was going to lose you back there" he sobbed.
Surprised by his actions, it took her a second to realize she was where she had wanted to be for so long. She clung to him tightly, she didn't want him to leave.
When he felt her hug him back he was surprised. He remembered that Zane had told him that Max liked him, but he didn't believe him back there. Now, however, he did.
******************
When they finally pulled apart Max looked up into Zack's eyes. 'Gosh! His eyes are so mysterious, but in a good way. I could look into them forever.'
"Zack," she started to say something but was interrupted
"Look Max, I have something I need to tell you before I let you say what you need to say. I.um.I think I'm falling in love with you." He managed to stammer out.
She looked up and grinned, "Really? That's good, because I'm falling in love with you."
She saw his body relax, he then realized how big the burden he had been carrying was.
He looked down at her and grinned.
"Are you sure about that Maxie?" he teased.
Slightly taken back by Zack acting normal. She teased back, "Well, I was. Up until a minute ago." She said wrapping her arms around him.
"Really, what happened?" he replied wrapping his arms around her waist.
"I stopped falling in love, I realized I already fell. And I fell pretty damn hard too!" She said slightly punching his arm.
He looked into her eyes and felt his soldier-self melting away. So, he did the only thing reasonable at the time. He bent down and kissed her softly on the lips.
The kiss was soft yet sensual. It shot tingles up and down their backs.
"Well, we better be on our way." He said, slightly angry that they had to keep going.
"Yah, Tinga, Yah." She said as if she were in a trance.
Zack moved out of their embrace and wrapped his arm around her waist possessively. They then continued their walk to Houston.
