Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Dark Angel characters or plot. This
story, however, is mine with all the new characters also being my
creations.
A/N: Okay let me answer a few questions......
The 'I'll miss them' bit from the last chapter was exactly what it meant. Hazel was just saying that she was going to miss Cindy and Sketch when they went back to their own homes. She had been staying with them for the week since they were in TC, so she had got close to them and she was just telling Alec that she was going to miss them. No other deeper meaning. I hope I got that sorted.
Also, for those who want to see some Alec/Max action should keep reading 'cos in the next few chapters you're gonna see some......
.......but will the course of true love run smooth...........(not gonna say!)
I'm sorry for not updating in a while, but I've been busy with school so time between updates will take a while.
Sorry!
But on with the story.......
ENJOY!!!
Reduced rays of bright white light shone through the lone window of the infirmary, illuminating Max's face causing her to stir. Slowly, eyes still closed, she stretched cat-like. Satisfied she opened her eyes and went to sit up, wincing slightly and holding her rib cage, which ached from the hard kick it received the day before. Settling in her new upright position, she took the opportunity to take in her surroundings seeing a still figure on a cot to her right, and a deep-breathing X5, brown hair tousled, to her left seated on a chair, his usual alert hazel-green eyes peacefully closed. At seeing Alec, Max let slip a small smile that only appeared when no one was around. A curl of his thick, gold dusted hair covered his closed eyes; she went to move it when his eyes snapped open, blinking rapidly taking in the light; her hand instinctively sprang back to her.
"Morning." She said squinting at him through the daylight streaming in.
"Morning." He replied leaning forward in his chair, the light trailed over his face, uncovering a concerned look which was taking over his handsome face. "Are you feeling alright?"
"Oh, I'll be fine." She replied flippantly.
Alec nodded but still burdened his fine features with worry.
"Really." She assured him. "The little lady has some moves." She added indicating the transgenic who was asleep to their right.
"Told ya." He said, a hint of his usual, mischievous self peeking for a moment.
"So............" she said, an odd silence blanketing them, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, well..........I came to give you your dinner," he said giving her the sandwich he had brought with him, "That was a few hours ago though. And you were fast asleep. I didn't want to disturb you. I know how hard it is for you to catch any sleep at all."
"Thanks." She said taking the food from him and unwrapping it. She took a massive bite out of it and said, "Phanks......I 'as weally hu'gry."
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to speak with your mouth full?" Alec asked in a mock norm voice.
Max, in reply, grinned toothily at him, making sure he could see some her chewed food.
"You're a real lady Max." he said sarcastically leaning back in his chair.
Max finished up her meal rapidly. Sighing with satisfaction she smiled at Alec again, a feeling of contentment filling her.
Alec began to chuckle; his muffled laughter soon got louder making Max frown slightly.
"What?" she asked not understanding his mirth.
"You......." He managed to say between chuckles.
"What about me?" she asked getting annoyed.
He got up and walked to her, his laughter subsiding slightly until his amusement could only be seen in his twinkling eyes. Sitting on her bed next to her, "You......" he said putting a hand to her face, "Have sauce on your face."
Max watched him thoughtfully, her only thoughts were of the feeling of his fingers tender on her face.
He leaned in forward and said conspiratorially, "Do you know how silly you look?"
Max, instead of reacting violently as she usually did with Alec, smiled genuinely and moved with poise to close the space between them.
Alec, at first shocked by her actions, soon kissed back softly; letting her lead, not wanting to scare her away.
This kiss overflowed with loving passion; gentle, shy, adoring passion that both devotedly gave to one another.
She pulled away and looked at him, caught surprised by her actions.
The kiss, in all its briefness, had been unparalleled to any Max had experienced before, her lips still tingled from Alec's amorous touch.
"Err.............err....I........err." She tried to find the words, any words that described what she was feeling but all she could come up with was a soft, "Thank you."
Alec couldn't respond, as Cindy and Sketchy came in, their loud greetings announcing their arrival. In one fluid motion he was back in his chair, any traces of unresolved emotions erased.
A/N: Sorry this chapter's so short, but I'm writing each chapter as a different scene so that's how it works out.
I know the kiss wasn't as.....err.....steamy.......as you guys wanted it but this whole love situation is gonna be slow, sweet and perfect.......
.......Whether you like it or not!
Until next time..........
