Chapter Two
Max looked in a panic at Logan. She did not want to have to confront Alec again, especially after their altercation earlier today.
"Don't let him know I'm here," she whispered to Logan. Logan nodded, slightly perplexed at Max's behaviour as she ran into the main bedroom to hide. Putting it down to the fact that Max hated the guy, he got up slowly and walked over to the door. If he was honest with himself, he hated the X- 5 as well.
On opening the door, Logan found a slightly dishevelled and tired looking Alec.
"Alec," was all Logan said, keeping his voice as even as possible.
Alec pressed his lips flat, his attempt of a smile. "Can I, uh come in?" he asked.
"Sure," Logan said moving aside.
Alec walked into the room, stuffing his hands into his jacket. Logan closed the door and turned to face him.
Alec knew there was no other way to do this, so he just came out with it, "I'm sorry," he said quietly looking straight at Logan.
Logan said nothing. He wasn't sure whether or not the guy deserved forgiveness for his behaviour over the last few weeks.
"I know I've been even more of a jerk than usual lately," he continued. "It's just cos, well," Alec laughed, "I guess what I'm trying to say is I – I admire you."
Logan's eyes widened.
"Max is completely right, I'm a total screw up and well I'm working on it, slowly," he added.
Logan let out a sigh. He didn't know how to respond to the usually cocky X- 5's confession. "Um," he started, "Let's just forget it hey."
Alec nodded. Neither really wanting to shake the other's hand, Alec just turned to walk back to the door. As he opened it, he stopped and turned back again.
"You know I meant it," he said, "Any guy that can make our tense Max loosen up and smile deserves some respect." Leaving it at that, Alec closed the door behind him and walked through the sliding doors of the lift, which would take him to his bike and finally home where he could sleep.
Logan stood fixed in place, not quite sure what to make of his last remark. He told himself he was probably just trying to ease the tension but his instincts told him, there was more to it and it had done nothing to suppress his growing suspicions.
Max crouched down next to the bedroom door, her eyes watching events through the gap and her transgenic hearing allowing her to hear every word being said.
Can, I, uh come in came Alec's voice. She had never heard the cocky idiot sound so unsure of himself.
Sure replied Logan calmly.
Max watched as Alec walked into the room and stuffed his hands almost protectively into his jacket. Max wanted to laugh.
I'm sorry
'What the hell!' thought Max. She had asked him to apologise but she'd never actually believed that he would. He had his own pride to save.
I know I've been even more of a jerk than usual, lately
'Big jerk'
I admire you
Max's eyes widened in disbelief. She had to give the X-5 credit. He was damn convincing.
Max is completely right, I'm a total screw up
Something caught in Max's throat. He was being completely honest. Now that she looked carefully, everything about him shouted vulnerability – his posture, his clothes, hair and facial expression. He was exposing himself right there and then, but why?
I'm working on it, slowly
Max watched Logan's reaction and for some obscure reason, she prayed that he would forgive him.
Let's just forget about it hey
She knew there was a reason she loved this guy. Max watched the sad smile on Alec's face as he turned to open the door but then he stopped and turned back. Max waited anxiously to hear what he had to say.
You know I meant it. Any guy that can get our tense Max to loosen up and smile deserves some respect. With that he was gone.
Max heard nothing else but the thuds in her chest. 'What the hell had he meant by that?' and by the look on Logan's face, he was thinking exactly the same thoughts.
"He's gone Max," called out Logan towards the bedroom.
Max got up from off her knees and opened the door slowly. Logan smiled a weak smile as she emerged from behind the door. Walking over to the table, he picked up the transmitter and held it up towards her, "at least he apologised."
"Yeah," Max nodded putting her thumb into her left jean pocket. "I think I might head home. It's pretty late and Cindy'll be worried."
"Course," Logan nodded.
"Thanks," Max smiled, taking her jacket from under the table and putting it on.
Logan watched from his window as Max climbed up onto her motorbike and sped off into the distance towards Space Needle. Logan rubbed his face from exhaustion as he turned the transmitter in his hands. Putting it back down on the table, he turned out the lights and walked into his bedroom. 'Maybe tomorrow'll be better' he thought and prayed silently.
