Heat Wave 7
Pregnant
_______________________________
"Boo, you're tired, hungry, moody and just plain weird all the time."
Max shrugged again "So what? I'm a girl!"
"No boo, I think it's something else... I think you're pregnant."
_______________________________
Max snorted "Pregnant? That's impossible guys!" She stood up, grabbed some toothpaste and her toothbrush and proceeded to brush her teeth furiously.
"Buhd u ungl thuhg ug uw wng!"
"Spit." Logan told her.
Max rinsed her mouth.
"What did she say?" Original Cindy asked.
"She said that besides she only threw up once.'"
Max smiled "You're getting pretty good at this!"
"You tend to speak while brushing your teeth, I've had practice." Logan smiled too.
"Anyway, I'm SURE I'm not pregnant. There's just no way... biologically speaking..." Max blushed and walked past all of them to her closet.
"You know, condoms only work like 98% of the time." Kendra told her.
Sketchy's eyes widened "They do?!"
Everyone ignored him and followed Max out of the bathroom.
"That's not what I mean, condoms are not the issue here." Max was trying hard to control her blush with little success.
"Why, is Logan..." Kendra turned around to glance at him, her eyes lowered.
"No!" Logan said forcefully.
Walter placed a hand on Logan's shoulder "It's ok man, it happens to a lot of guys."
Logan shrugged the hand away. "There's nothing wrong with me now stop with the questions."
"Well if it's not you then what..."
"That!" Max took Logan's hand and guided him away from the mob "Is between me and my lover. Now if you'll excuse us there's something I want to discuss with him in the balcony."
Max dragged Logan to the balcony and shut the door behind her.
"So?" Logan sat down on a plastic chair.
"So it's not possible. I can only get pregnant during my heat cycles and it's been two and a half months since last one. I had my period last week."
Logan's face fell "Oh"
Max sighed and sat down on his lap "Logan this is a good thing! We are in no way ready to be parents! We can barely look out for ourselves for crying out loud!"
"I know, I know it's just that..." Logan caressed Max's back with his strong hands.
"That what?"
"I don't know, it felt kind of nice... just the thought of it..."
Max bit her lip and said nothing.
"Oh but I know you're right, there's no way we're ready to be parents."
Max nodded and buried her face on his chest. The sun was just coming up, Max and Logan watched the sky paint itself with beautiful colors slowly.
Logan thought of the ring hidden in the closet and sighed. Another perfect moment gone to waste.
*************
The beach was packed with people of all ages and races that morning. The pool was so full the only thing people could do in there was jump up and down on the spot.
Max didn't really care, she had recovered completely from her little problem that moring and had even wolfed down a big healthy breakfast.
Original Cindy and Sketchy where still in their room, apparently too damaged to even walk.
Max was sharing a chair by the pool with Logan, his shoulders seemed a little red to her but he convinced him that he didn't need any sunscreen.
"I feel so calm and peaceful." Max commented.
"Yeah, well, if you can ignore the yelling, the running around, the massive amount of people and the constant wailing of little kids who keep asking us to blow their pool toys for them then I guess it is peaceful."
Max chuckled and wiggled to get closer to Logan.
"Hey guys, what are you up to?" Kendra appeared out of nowhere, Walter stood behind her, wet and wheezing.
"Nothing, you ok?" Max couldn't help asking Walter.
Walter raised a finger and rested his hands on his knees.
"Oh he's fine, we just went for a swim on the beach. The waves are wild!" Kendra explained.
"My lungs are filled with sand" Walter added.
Max laughed hard, she just couldn't stop herself.
"Mr. Walter Eastep there's an urgent message for you at the front desk." A voice said over the loudspeakers.
Kendra frowned "Who could be calling you here?"
"I don't know, let me go find out." Walter walked towards the building as fast as he could, which considering his current state wasn't much.
Kendra waited worriedly for a few minutes until Walter came back.
"Oh cupcake I'm sooo sorry, there seems to be some food riots on the outskirts of Seattle. They need me there."
"You're leaving?! But we just got here!" Kendra shrieked.
"Food riots?" Logan sat up quickly.
"Yeah, and we all thought the whole food thing was over. They really need me there sweetie." Walter explained calmly.
Kendra sighed "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning. But I want you to stay here and have a great time."
"No, I'm going back with you." Kendra decided.
Walter quickly disposed that idea "No, you have to stay here and enjoy your vacations. I'm sure everything will be ok by the time you get back but I don't want you there ok?"
Kendra nodded "Promise you'll be careful."
"Always"
Max wanted to gag.
"I'll go get us some drinks!" She stood up so fast she almost made Logan tip over.
Logan followed her to the bar "You know, you should give them a break."
Max scrunched her nose "I was that obvious uh?"
Logan just shook his head.
"Well what do you want me to say? He's twice her age!"
"And I'm 13 years older than you but that doesn't mean we're wrong!" Logan replied.
"That's different!"
"How?"
Max thought about it for a second "Because we're both beautiful and intelligent."
Logan laughed for about two minutes "That was so not the answer I was expecting."
"Well what WHERE you expecting? Bartender!" Max had to get into the pool to order the drinks.
"Yes?" The guy walked up to her quickly, Max didn't know if it was due to his love for his work or his love for Max's tiny bikini.
"I'll take four beers."
"Gotcha!" The guy turned around to get the drinks. Max noticed that Logan had not gotten into the pool with her, instead he had walked back to their chair.
"Hey, hold on..." she sighed "make that three beers and a coke."
*************
Max handed everyone their drinks and ran away before someone asked questions.
"I'll go check on the sick twins. Be back in a sec!" She said cheerfully and practically ran to the elevator.
She was in such a hurry to get into the elevator that she didn't even notice the person walking out of it until it was too late. She collided with a strong chest.
"Oh my God I'm so sorry, are you ok?" The guy grabbed her arms to steady her.
"Max?"
"Chris?"
"Hey! You're staying here?" He let go of her and took a step back to give her some breathing room.
"Hum yeah! What about you? I thought you said you had your own place."
"I do, I just work here. My crib is only a few blocks away."
"Oh really? What do you do?"
"I'm a DJ for the club downstairs. I only work at nights but I get free drinks and use of the installations of the hotel"
"Wow, that's really great!"
The doors to the elevator closed, leaving Max trapped in the middle. Chris reached forward and pulled her away from the steel doors and into the elevator.
"You ok?" He asked between laughs.
"Yeah, just a little squashed."
When their laughing died down Chris asked Max "Hey, wanna have lunch together today?"
Max hesitated for a second "Hum my boyfriend and I..."
Chris laughed again "Bring him along Max! I just really enjoy your company and I'm all alone here! Come on, you won't let me have lunch by myself will you? I'm buying!"
Max giggled "You're on, but I AM bringing my boyfriend!"
"Great! Then I'll get a chance to meet him!"
The doors opened again.
"This is my floor." Max told Chris, she debated between inviting him in or not saying anything but he solved the problem for her.
"Well, I have a hot date with the sun. My tan is fading."
Max giggled again "See you at lunch."
"I'll be there"
"You better, since you're buying!"
Chris groaned while the doors closed in front of him.
*************
"Tell me again why we have to have lunch with a guy you just met." Logan asked for the third time while Max dragged him to the restaurant.
"Because I like the guy, he's nice! You don't run into a lot of nice people now days. Plus, who am I to skip a free meal?"
"Max, you don't pay for your meals I do!"
Max ignored the comment as she spotted Chris sitting on a round table with four chairs. He waved at her and she waved back while whispering to Logan "Be good"
"Aren't I always?"
"Max, I was beginning to worry you weren't going to show!"
"Oh I wouldn't leave you here all alone!" Max winked at him and he smiled.
"Chris, this is my boyfriend Logan Cale."
Logan shook hands with the young man even though they had already met.
"So, sit down, look at the menu and take your pick!" Chris was just saying when he spotted someone and groaned.
"Chris are you ok? Why are you hiding behind the menu?" Max whispered across the table.
"Christopher darling is that you?" A voice that Max recognized yelled from about four feet away.
"Hey Laura." Chris dropped his menu in surrender and acknowledged the red headed girl.
"Oh hey! You're the cute guy from the pool with a kid right? Oh look, you brought your child!" Laura grabbed a chair and sat between Chris and Logan.
"Logan. This is Max" He took Max's hand in his, Laura didn't seem to notice.
"Laura, please. We're trying to have a nice meal here." Chris begged.
Laura's blue eyes brightened "Oh sure I'll join you! Thanks guys."
Logan and Max shared a glance. Chris sighed "Let's just order."
After the waiter had taken their orders Laura jumped into the conversation "So Logan. Where are you from?"
"Seattle" Logan answered quickly.
"Wow, Seattle. I've always wanted to go there. Maybe I can go back with you."
"Sure, then you can just share our bedroom." Max told her sweetly. Chris almost choked with the water he was drinking and had to cough a few times to get his laughter and his breathing in check.
Laura just gave Max a deadly look and continued to talk to Logan "You know, I used to be a showgirl at a casino in Las Vegas a long time ago, way before the pulse." She shifted her chair closer to Logan's.
He gulped, actually a little impressed.
"How old ARE you? Forty?"
Chris laughed again, by now he had learned not to drink or eat while Laura talked, Max was sure to put her on the spot.
Laura hesitated for a moment "Of course not! I'm 26!"
Max smiled sweetly "Well then how was it being 15 and a showgirl?"
Even Logan had to laugh at Laura's face.
She blushed a little but got over it quickly. She flipped her hair and stood up "Hey Logan, want to dance?"
Logan shifted uncomfortably on his seat "What now? It's 2 o'clock!"
Laura shrugged "So, people are dancing!" Logan glanced at the terrace and discovered that Laura was right, a bunch of kids where joking around and dancing to the music outside.
Logan looked from Max to Laura and back to Max "Hum... sure, why not!" Logan stood up and followed Laura, who was smirking, outside.
Max sat at the table and stared after them with her mouth wide open "I can't believe he said yes."
"He seems like a gentleman, probably felt like he couldn't say no." Chris reassured Max.
"Yeah, you're probably right. So tell me Chris, how do you know Laura exactly?"
Chris sighed "We kind of dated for a while... she's a slut for lack of better word."
Max chucked and glanced at Logan and Laura, who where now dancing outside.
"Hey, wanna dance?" Chris offered Max his hand.
Max shrugged "Sure, why the hell not?"
*Somebody hit the lights
So we can rock it day and night
People gettin down, that's right...from AM to PM*
Max and Chris went to dance besides Logan and Laura. She did not seem at all happy with this.
Laura swayed her hips seductively in Logan's direction.
Max wanted to laugh at her.
Max and Chris where dancing in a much more relaxed way.
*Everybody lookin' like stars
All the chicks and the fellas in the bars
All of y'all bumpin' this in your cars...from AM to PM*
Laura leaned close to Logan and whispered something to him. He actually laughed!
Max stared at him, her eyes wide.
"Ignore her, she has ways of making men laugh." Chris whispered to Max.
*Everybody wanna get down,
when ya hear the sound and ya bump the beat
three sixty five days a year, twenty four a day, seven days a week*
"Not my man!" Max wrapped her arms around Chris and laughed. Loudly
Logan's head snapped in her direction faster than a rubber band.
"Max... what are you doing?" Chris whispered to her.
"Play along."
"Fine!" Who was he to complain?
*Find a honey that's standing on the wall
All the girls get their guys on the floor
From the front 2 the back, let's go, hear this...*
Logan realized what she was doing quickly "Yeah, well two can play that game."
"You said something?" Laura asked
He placed his hands on her hips "No, not at all."
*Somebody hit the lights
So we can rock it day and night
People gettin down, that's right...from AM to PM *
*************
"You know what? I want to sit down" Max told Chris once the song ended.
"Hum sure, you ok?" He guided Max away from the noise.
"I'm fine I'm just..." She collapsed on a chair and rested her head on her bent arms.
Logan saw this from where he was dancing. He ran over to Max, colliding into people and pushing chairs out of the way.
"Max! Max sweetie are you ok?" He placed a hand on her back and knelt down to try to look at her face.
"I'm fine, just got a little dizzy there. Probably from the bad food at the hospital."
"You got dizzy from food poisoning?" Chris asked her.
"Max can you walk?" Logan lifted her head with his hands.
"Sure, I think so."
"Ok, let's get you upstairs then. Chris thanks for lunch."
"Sure man, no problem. I hope you feel better Max."
"So do I" She groaned and held on to Logan for support, just in case she got dizzy again.
"Ok then see you around."
"Loggie, are you leaving?" Laura's annoying voice reached their ears.
Logan didn't even answer. He just took Max and left.
*************
Logan hummed on the elevator. It had been four hours since Max felt bad and she was now feeling really really good.
He had gone downstairs to get her something to eat.
"Max, you here?" He walked into the room but didn't see her anywhere.
"In the bathtub sweetie!" Max called.
Logan opened the bathroom door and walked in "Hey! I got you a chicken salad, some 'quesadillas' and chocolate covered cherries for dessert."
Max giggled from the tub. The bubbles covered her body from view and nice steam rose from the bath she was taking.
"Sounds like you did your homework! Now get in here!"
Logan shook his head "You have a nice meal by yourself. I have to do something."
"What?" Max asked
"Aww nothing important. We're still on for tonight right?"
"Right." Max answered, full of suspicious.
************
"What do you mean there are no reservations left?" Logan shrieked into the phone on the lobby.
"Sorry sir. We do have an opening for next week if you're interested..."
Logan groaned and hung up.
"At the rate this is going she'll get the damn ring when she turns sixty!"
"Hey Logan!" Chris called out.
The young man jogged up to where Logan was standing. "Hey man, how's Max?"
"She's ok... she's great actually. I think she's all better now."
"Good, good. So I'll see you downstairs tonight?"
"Downstairs?" Logan asked with interest.
"Yeah, I'm the DJ for the club."
"Right..." The wheels inside Logan's head turned.
"Say Chris, there wouldn't happen to be a back room or something on the club righ?"
"Actually there is. It's sort of an employee's lounge, it's on the last floor of the club, surrounded by glass panels, facing the dance floor, lot's of cushions it's really nice. Why?"
Logan smiled "I was kind of hoping Max and I could borrow it for tonight, I want to do something special for her."
Chris shook his head "Sorry man, no can do!"
Logan sighed "Ok, I understand. It's probably just for employees right?"
Chris chuckled "No, not at all! It's just that tonight one of the guys is having a private party up there but you can use it tomorrow if you'd like!"
"Really? Wow, thanks! I owe you one!"
Chris smiled "Don't mention it."
*************
Max and Logan walked into the club together followed by Sketchy and Original Cindy who inmediately left to check out the honeys at the bar. Kendra and Walter choze a table and sat down.
Max guided Logan to the dance floor, she spotted Chris and waved, he waved back.
"Ok people! I'm going to play a song that everyone's been requesting for a while. Have fun, relax and try not to drawn each other because it's FOAM NIGHT!"
"Foam night?!" Max glanced down at her tight black leather pants and her black top and shrugged "Oh well, at least I'm not wearing white."
"No but I am." Logan pointed at his white button down shirt and his black pants.
Max smiled "I'm glad"
Logan smiled back.
*Tell you what I did last night
I came home, say, around a quater to three
Still so high
Hypnotized
In a trance
From his body, so butter and brown and tantalizing
You woulda thought I needed help from this feeling that I felt
So shook I had to catch my breath*
White sticky foam started shooting out and flooding the dance floor. Max danced against Logan, feeling great and having the time of her life.
The foam was waist high and the dance floor filled with wet, sticky people rubbing against each other and singing to the lyrics at the top of their lungs.
*Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head
Oh my
Oops, there goes my skirt dropin' to my feet
Oh my
Ooh, some kinda touch caressing my face
Oh my
Ooh I'm turning red
Who could this be?*
Foam was everywhere, Max could barely see. People where throwing the foam around, everyone was covered in white from head to toe.
The party was wild, couples where making out heavily on the floor and the chairs nearby, everything was confusing and loud.
Max wrapped her arms around Logan, she felt his hands on her back and smiled. His hands moved up an down slowly, reaching under her shirt. One of them caressed her stomach, the other one rubbed her backside.
Max giggled "I love your hands on me Logan."
"Yeah well just wait."
*I tried and I tried to avoid
but this thing was happening
Swollow my pride
Let it ride and party
But this body felt just like mines
I got worried
I looked over to the left
A reflection of myself
That's why I couldn't catch my breath*
Logan wrapped his other arm around her back and Max smiled. Then she jumped a mile and whirled around.
"Max, what's wrong?"
"There are three hands on my body!" Max looked around for the perv.
"Hey baby! Nice ass!" A guy standing behind her said.
Max punched the guy on the nose "Asshole!" She screamed at him before abandoning the dance floor and the building.
She ran all the way to her room, with Logan close behind.
"Max? Max are you ok? What happened?" Logan tried to talk to her but she was already running a scalding hot bath.
"That guy touched my ass! He was groping me and I let him because I thought it was you!" Max was near tears, Logan could tell.
"Max, it's not that I don't hate the guy for doing something that low to you but... honey you've had worse!" Logan sat down on the closed toilet seat and watched Max strip and get into the bathtub.
"That doesn't make it right! I feel like a thing! A useless rubber doll." Small tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Oh Max..." Logan knelt down by the tub and hugged her. She nested her head on his chest and cried.
"Hey guys... everything ok? What's wrong Boo?" Original Cindy walked into the bathroom.
"Nothing, Max is just a little sensitive right now." Logan stood up and removed his sticky wet shirt.
"I am NOT sensitive!" Max shrieked.
"Ok Boo, what's wrong? Girl troubles?"
"No... I just hated the way that guy made me feel." Max mumbled under her breath.
"Sweetie, you are a genetically engineered killing machine. I think you can handle a dog like that!" OC told her.
"I know... I just freaked out I guess. I want to be alone for a while."
Logan and Original Cindy nodded. "I'll wait for you on our 'bed' Logan told her. She nodded.
By the time Max went to bed Logan was already asleep. She crawled in behind him and kissed his forehead.
************
Max sat up quickly. She placed her hand over her mouth, grabbed her key and ran out the door.
She ran the three flights of stairs to the lobby and then ran all the way to the bathroom.
She knelt down in front of the closest bowl and threw up.
Max rinsed her mouth, washed her face and started to cry silently.
When she walked out of the bathroom she found someone waiting for her.
"May I ask what are you doing in the lobby at 5:30 in the morning wearing you PJ?" Chris asked her.
"I threw up." Max answered quickly.
"And you couldn't do it in your room because..."
"Chris... I think I'm pregnant."
_______________________________________________
HA! Don't kill me yet! There's a reason for this whole charade! I swear!! And I know some of you wanted Logan to know first but there's also a reason why I didn't do that but don't worry! All will come correct soon so just wait!!
Oh and guys I'm sorry about the spelling and grammar mistakes, I didn't even proofread this thing I wanted to get it out fast.
And another thing, there might be a lack of updates for a while... it seems like not a lot of people are reading this anymore and I have other stories I have to write for so please do review and I'll update ASAP (I blame school by the way) if many people want another chapter I'll write faster!!!

"Logan. This is Max" He took Max's hand in his, Laura didn't seem to notice.
"Laura, please. We're trying to have a nice meal here." Chris begged.
Laura's blue eyes brightened "Oh sure I'll join you! Thanks guys."
Logan and Max shared a glance. Chris sighed "Let's just order."
After the waiter had taken their orders Laura jumped into the conversation "So Logan. Where are you from?"
"Seattle" Logan answered quickly.
"Wow, Seattle. I've always wanted to go there. Maybe I can go back with you."
"Sure, then you can just share our bedroom." Max told her sweetly. Chris almost choked with the water he was drinking and had to cough a few times to get his laughter and his breathing in check.
Laura just gave Max a deadly look and continued to talk to Logan "You know, I used to be a showgirl at a casino in Las Vegas a long time ago, way before the pulse." She shifted her chair closer to Logan's.
He gulped, actually a little impressed.
"How old ARE you? Forty?"
Chris laughed again, by now he had learned not to drink or eat while Laura talked, Max was sure to put her on the spot.
Laura hesitated for a moment "Of course not! I'm 26!"
Max smiled sweetly "Well then how was it being 15 and a showgirl?"
Even Logan had to laugh at Laura's face.
She blushed a little but got over it quickly. She flipped her hair and stood up "Hey Logan, want to dance?"
Logan shifted uncomfortably on his seat "What now? It's 2 o'clock!"
Laura shrugged "So, people are dancing!" Logan glanced at the terrace and discovered that Laura was right, a bunch of kids where joking around and dancing to the music outside.
Logan looked from Max to Laura and back to Max "Hum... sure, why not!" Logan stood up and followed Laura, who was smirking, outside.
Max sat at the table and stared after them with her mouth wide open "I can't believe he said yes."
"He seems like a gentleman, probably felt like he couldn't say no." Chris reassured Max.
"Yeah, you're probably right. So tell me Chris, how do you know Laura exactly?"
Chris sighed "We kind of dated for a while... she's a slut for lack of better word."
Max chucked and glanced at Logan and Laura, who where now dancing outside.
"Hey, wanna dance?" Chris offered Max his hand.
Max shrugged "Sure, why the hell not?"
*Somebody hit the lights
So we can rock it day and night
People gettin down, that's right...from AM to PM*
Max and Chris went to dance besides Logan and Laura. She did not seem at all happy with this.
Laura swayed her hips seductively in Logan's direction.
Max wanted to laugh at her.
Max and Chris where dancing in a much more relaxed way.
*Everybody lookin' like stars
All the chicks and the fellas in the bars
All of y'all bumpin' this in your cars...from AM to PM*
Laura leaned close to Logan and whispered something to him. He actually laughed!
Max stared at him, her eyes wide.
"Ignore her, she has ways of making men laugh." Chris whispered to Max.
*Everybody wanna get down,
when ya hear the sound and ya bump the beat
three sixty five days a year, twenty four a day, seven days a week*
"Not my man!" Max wrapped her arms around Chris and laughed. Loudly
Logan's head snapped in her direction faster than a rubber band.
"Max... what are you doing?" Chris whispered to her.
"Play along."
"Fine!" Who was he to complain?
*Find a honey that's standing on the wall
All the girls get their guys on the floor
From the front 2 the back, let's go, hear this...*
Logan realized what she was doing quickly "Yeah, well two can play that game."
"You said something?" Laura asked
He placed his hands on her hips "No, not at all."
*Somebody hit the lights
So we can rock it day and night
People gettin down, that's right...from AM to PM *
*************
"You know what? I want to sit down" Max told Chris once the song ended.
"Hum sure, you ok?" He guided Max away from the noise.
"I'm fine I'm just..." She collapsed on a chair and rested her head on her bent arms.
Logan saw this from where he was dancing. He ran over to Max, colliding into people and pushing chairs out of the way.
"Max! Max sweetie are you ok?" He placed a hand on her back and knelt down to try to look at her face.
"I'm fine, just got a little dizzy there. Probably from the bad food at the hospital."
"You got dizzy from food poisoning?" Chris asked her.
"Max can you walk?" Logan lifted her head with his hands.
"Sure, I think so."
"Ok, let's get you upstairs then. Chris thanks for lunch."
"Sure man, no problem. I hope you feel better Max."
"So do I" She groaned and held on to Logan for support, just in case she got dizzy again.
"Ok then see you around."
"Loggie, are you leaving?" Laura's annoying voice reached their ears.
Logan didn't even answer. He just took Max and left.
*************
Logan hummed on the elevator. It had been four hours since Max felt bad and she was now feeling really really good.
He had gone downstairs to get her something to eat.
"Max, you here?" He walked into the room but didn't see her anywhere.
"In the bathtub sweetie!" Max called.
Logan opened the bathroom door and walked in "Hey! I got you a chicken salad, some 'quesadillas' and chocolate covered cherries for dessert."
Max giggled from the tub. The bubbles covered her body from view and nice steam rose from the bath she was taking.
"Sounds like you did your homework! Now get in here!"
Logan shook his head "You have a nice meal by yourself. I have to do something."
"What?" Max asked
"Aww nothing important. We're still on for tonight right?"
"Right." Max answered, full of suspicious.
************
"What do you mean there are no reservations left?" Logan shrieked into the phone on the lobby.
"Sorry sir. We do have an opening for next week if you're interested..."
Logan groaned and hung up.
"At the rate this is going she'll get the damn ring when she turns sixty!"
"Hey Logan!" Chris called out.
The young man jogged up to where Logan was standing. "Hey man, how's Max?"
"She's ok... she's great actually. I think she's all better now."
"Good, good. So I'll see you downstairs tonight?"
"Downstairs?" Logan asked with interest.
"Yeah, I'm the DJ for the club."
"Right..." The wheels inside Logan's head turned.
"Say Chris, there wouldn't happen to be a back room or something on the club righ?"
"Actually there is. It's sort of an employee's lounge, it's on the last floor of the club, surrounded by glass panels, facing the dance floor, lot's of cushions it's really nice. Why?"
Logan smiled "I was kind of hoping Max and I could borrow it for tonight, I want to do something special for her."
Chris shook his head "Sorry man, no can do!"
Logan sighed "Ok, I understand. It's probably just for employees right?"
Chris chuckled "No, not at all! It's just that tonight one of the guys is having a private party up there but you can use it tomorrow if you'd like!"
"Really? Wow, thanks! I owe you one!"
Chris smiled "Don't mention it."
*************
Max and Logan walked into the club together followed by Sketchy and Original Cindy who inmediately left to check out the honeys at the bar. Kendra and Walter choze a table and sat down.
Max guided Logan to the dance floor, she spotted Chris and waved, he waved back.
"Ok people! I'm going to play a song that everyone's been requesting for a while. Have fun, relax and try not to drawn each other because it's FOAM NIGHT!"
"Foam night?!" Max glanced down at her tight black leather pants and her black top and shrugged "Oh well, at least I'm not wearing white."
"No but I am." Logan pointed at his white button down shirt and his black pants.
Max smiled "I'm glad"
Logan smiled back.
*Tell you what I did last night
I came home, say, around a quater to three
Still so high
Hypnotized
In a trance
From his body, so butter and brown and tantalizing
You woulda thought I needed help from this feeling that I felt
So shook I had to catch my breath*
White sticky foam started shooting out and flooding the dance floor. Max danced against Logan, feeling great and having the time of her life.
The foam was waist high and the dance floor filled with wet, sticky people rubbing against each other and singing to the lyrics at the top of their lungs.
*Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head
Oh my
Oops, there goes my skirt dropin' to my feet
Oh my
Ooh, some kinda touch caressing my face
Oh my
Ooh I'm turning red
Who could this be?*
Foam was everywhere, Max could barely see. People where throwing the foam around, everyone was covered in white from head to toe.
The party was wild, couples where making out heavily on the floor and the chairs nearby, everything was confusing and loud.
Max wrapped her arms around Logan, she felt his hands on her back and smiled. His hands moved up an down slowly, reaching under her shirt. One of them caressed her stomach, the other one rubbed her backside.
Max giggled "I love your hands on me Logan."
"Yeah well just wait."
*I tried and I tried to avoid
but this thing was happening
Swollow my pride
Let it ride and party
But this body felt just like mines
I got worried
I looked over to the left
A reflection of myself
That's why I couldn't catch my breath*
Logan wrapped his other arm around her back and Max smiled. Then she jumped a mile and whirled around.
"Max, what's wrong?"
"There are three hands on my body!" Max looked around for the perv.
"Hey baby! Nice ass!" A guy standing behind her said.
Max punched the guy on the nose "Asshole!" She screamed at him before abandoning the dance floor and the building.
She ran all the way to her room, with Logan close behind.
"Max? Max are you ok? What happened?" Logan tried to talk to her but she was already running a scalding hot bath.
"That guy touched my ass! He was groping me and I let him because I thought it was you!" Max was near tears, Logan could tell.
"Max, it's not that I don't hate the guy for doing something that low to you but... honey you've had worse!" Logan sat down on the closed toilet seat and watched Max strip and get into the bathtub.
"That doesn't make it right! I feel like a thing! A useless rubber doll." Small tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Oh Max..." Logan knelt down by the tub and hugged her. She nested her head on his chest and cried.
"Hey guys... everything ok? What's wrong Boo?" Original Cindy walked into the bathroom.
"Nothing, Max is just a little sensitive right now." Logan stood up and removed his sticky wet shirt.
"I am NOT sensitive!" Max shrieked.
"Ok Boo, what's wrong? Girl troubles?"
"No... I just hated the way that guy made me feel." Max mumbled under her breath.
"Sweetie, you are a genetically engineered killing machine. I think you can handle a dog like that!" OC told her.
"I know... I just freaked out I guess. I want to be alone for a while."
Logan and Original Cindy nodded. "I'll wait for you on our 'bed' Logan told her. She nodded.
By the time Max went to bed Logan was already asleep. She crawled in behind him and kissed his forehead.
************
Max sat up quickly. She placed her hand over her mouth, grabbed her key and ran out the door.
She ran the three flights of stairs to the lobby and then ran all the way to the bathroom.
She knelt down in front of the closest bowl and threw up.
Max rinsed her mouth, washed her face and started to cry silently.
When she walked out of the bathroom she found someone waiting for her.
"May I ask what are you doing in the lobby at 5:30 in the morning wearing you PJ?" Chris asked her.
"I threw up." Max answered quickly.
"And you couldn't do it in your room because..."
"Chris... I think I'm pregnant."
