Chapter Fourteen

"Hang on, hang on!" yelled Alec at the loud insistent knocks on his door, as he appeared from his bedroom, hair still wet and a mess from his shower. Muttering under his breath about something to do with patience, he ripped open his door in annoyance.

"Max?" His truly surprised face at seeing his unexpected guest only served to make him look even more adorable.

"Hi," Max smiled uncomfortably, as she remained at the doorway, "Can I uh, come in?"

"Uh, sure," Alec said moving to the side to let her in.

He closed the door behind them as Max walked into the centre of the room. He studied her carefully. A visit from Max was very rare and he couldn't help think that her impromptu visit had something to do with their earlier conversation. That possibility only helped to charge his ever present nerves.

"Is everything ok?" he asked stuffing his hands into the pockets of his jeans.

"Yeah," Max nodded, "Everything's fine."

Alec took one step forward, "Are you sure?"

"No actually," Max looked down at the floor as she walked forward, "I went to see Logan . . . and . . . well it's um, over."

"In that case," Alec took another step, "Are you ok?"

Max shrugged her shoulders as she inched closer to him, "I've never felt better."

"Well, if you're happy-"

"You're happy."

"Exactly," Alec smiled, as the gap between them came down to just a few inches.

Max looked up at him. She was close enough to see the hazel flecks in his green eyes and the still slightly damp skin from his shower.

"So what was it that you came to see me about, Maxie?"

His slightly raised eyebrows and dancing eyes told Max that he already knew. Max had exactly two options; tell him or tell him. And tell him she did, using the option that didn't need words.

Getting up on her tip toes, she placed a short, soft, sweet, lingering kiss on his lips, not even giving him the chance to respond.

"I just don't do the whole clichéd 'I love you' speech," Max smiled mischievously as she moved away.

"So was that . . . um . . . an 'I love you'?" he stammered, having an obvious difficulty in coping with the unexpected kiss, but then honestly, what else would he expect of Max?

"I'll let you figure that one out for yourself pretty boy."

"I'd much rather you did it for me."

"Oh, I'm sure you would, but . . ." Max paused dramatically, "I've got to get to work early tomorrow."

"Max, you can't do that!"

"Do what?" Max asked feigning innocence, knowing full well that she was driving Alec crazy.

"Kiss me and then run off with some lame excuse about getting to work early. When do you ever get to work early? Or even care for that matter?"

Max laughed, "I think I've found your Achilles' heel."

"You are my Achilles' heel!"

"Oh, I know," Max said as she walked backwards to the door, "I know." With that, she walked out of Alec's apartment and disappeared down the hallway. She didn't get quite far enough away from him, not to hear him whinge her name, "Maaaaax! I'm gonna get you for this!"

'Oh and I'll be more than willing for you to,' Max smiled inwardly, as she walked out of the apartment block. 'Must remember to get Cindy, oh and Joshua, something,' she mentally noted, as Joshua's painting filled her mind. Triangle – nuh uh. Just a nice never ending straight line; he needed to get painting again.

The End

A/N 2- Well that's that then! I hope you liked it! I didn't go for passion at the end, to be honest I suck at it, but I thought I'd leave it like that. Max and Alec's relationship in my opinion is serious at heart but light hearted on the surface, so that's why I decided to end it like that. Let me know if you thought it worked or didn't. I completely value all your opinions and thank you so much for ALL the reviews this story got. I enjoyed writing it and I hope you enjoyed reading it. Ok, well I'm off to write another chapter for 'Freedom on the inside'! Once again THANK YOU!!!! SmilinStar xxx
