Chapter 2: The Next Day

Jam Pony

Max walked in early for once. Normal stood gawking at her retreating form from the dispatch counter.

"Morning, OC." Max said with a huge smile on her face.

"Mornin' boo. To what do we owe the pleasure of your smile?" she asked looking at Max as if looking for an explanation.

Max just shrugged, "It's a new day, nothing bad has happen. So, by definition, it's all good, all the time."

"Straight up, boo."

Max felt him walking up behind her. She felt his presence. She didn't know what she was going to say. She turned around to face him.

"Morning, Maxie." He said putting on a cocky grin.

"Hey, Alec. Look, thanks for last night, I really needed that."

"I know that's why I did it."

Their eyes locked they had reached an understanding. They were steadily learning more about each other. They were broken out of their trance by Normal.

"Bip! Bip! Bip! People back to work, this isn't a social lounge." Spotting Max he threw a package her way. "Hot run sector 9."

Max caught the package. "Got a jet, catch you later Alec."

She walked her bike out and left Alec standing there wondering what had just happen.

Max's POV

She thought while she rode.

What is happening to me? Am I falling for Alec. No, that's not possible. I mean I fell for Logan, and they are two different men. Maybe Alec is right. I need to be with someone of my own kind. It can't be him though.

Well, he is always there for me. And he does make me laugh and smile. Actually now that I think about it, how didn't I see this before. Maybe it was because I can never see him as the serious type. The only thing is, how do I tell him how I feel, without getting my feeling hurt. I mean he may have just done that last night to be nice.

She delivered packages all day until 7.

"Normal, can I please leave. I've done my share of overtime." She pleaded with Normal.

"Fine, but you better be here on time tomorrow other wise you won't have a job to do overtime."

She walked to her locker and took out her book bag. She walked out to where she had chained her motorcycle up at and slid onto the seat. She rode home perfectly content to be riding her baby. When she reached it she found a note pinned to the door.

Max

Look I'm sorry I didn't wait for u tonight, but there was a gorgeous red head waitin' for me at Crash. I think I might be bringing her home so do you think you could find a place to crash tonight? Well, see ya at Crash if ur comin'

Original Cindy

Max opened the door and walked to her bedroom, grabbing a pair of pants and a tank for tomorrow, and grabbing her tank and boxer shorts for bed tonight.

Oh crap! Where am I going to stay? With Logan, hell no, would be to akward. Terminal City, No, they already have enough people sleeping in Command Central. That only leaves one place. Alec's.

She pulled her bag onto her back and walked out the door. She slid smoothly onto her motorcycle. Gunning it and speeding off towards Crash.

She walked in the bar and scanned the crowd. OC was in the corner chatting up a nice lookin' red head, apparently to busy for her. Sketchy was beyond drunk, and starting to hit on all the girls. There he was, Alec. He was sitting at a table laughing at what Sketchy was doing.

She walked over to him. "Hey, Alec."

"Hey." He said turning to face where she had sat down.

"Do you think I can crash at your place, OC said she's got a hot date."

"Yeah, sure. I was just leavin' if you wanna stay awhile longer I'll leave the door unlocked."

"No, actually I'm not up for doing much right now. I'll just go with you."

"Okay."

They walked out the door of Crash, walking directly to their own bike.

They both sat on their bike and raced off into the night. Each trying to gain some distance on the other.

When they finally reached Alec's they had gone about 5 miles out of their way, to caught up in the race.

"Wow! That was exhilarating." She said as they walked into his apartment.

"Max you can take my bed, I'll sleep on the couch."

"No, Alec. I asked to stay that means I have to sleep on the couch."

"No, I insist. I want to watch some T.V. anyway."

"Okay." She replied walking into the bathroom with her bag to change.

When she came out he was already stripped down to his black silk boxers. He was busily putting blankets on the pullout couch.

"Well, I'm going to go catch a couple of hours. I'll see you in the morning, are you sure you don't want your bed?"

He finally looked up at her. Damn! She looks hott even in clothes that are to big for her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sleep well Maxie."

"You too Alec." She said as she walked into his bedroom and plopped ungracefully down onto the bed.
