Chapter 8: I'm Sorry

Logan just lay there, on his stomach, watching her breathe. She
trembled slightly. His hand gently rested on her soft warm cheek. He
removed one of her curly locks from her face and saw her respond to
his touch in her sleep, she was smiling.

He just wanted to move closer and kiss her on her luscious lips while
she was sleeping. He tried, but his sore back didn't let him move an
inch.

Max let go a deep sigh and opened her dark brown eyes. Their eyes met.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself . . ." -She smiled

"How are you feeling ?" -He touched her forehead and then continued
cupping her cheek..

"A bit shaky." -She pouted.

"You've scared me today." -He tucked his hand under his pillow.

"Oh MY God!" -Max suddenly remembered what had happened in the
bathroom.

"Are you OK?" -She sat straight up and made the bed bounce.

"Oh!" -Logan winced.

"I am so sorry, Logan." -Max slowly rested her hand on Logan's
shoulder.

"It's not your fault, Max."

Max lifted the blanket up to take a look at his back.

"Max, don't. . ." -But Logan noticed it too late.

He lay there, helplessly, not able to move.

"Oh my God. Did I do this to you?" -There was a panic in her voice.

This was the first time, she saw his bare strong shoulders and his
back covered with the scars. His old surgery scar was clearly visible
and the new scar was covered with gauze. She'd noticed a little bit of
blood which was absorbed by the gauze.

"Max . . . I'm sorry. . ." -He apologized.

She covered him back with the blanket and carefully lay down on her
back.

"I am the one that should be sorry." -She said sadly.

"I don't want you to see me like that." -He sighed.

Max slowly rolled on her side to face him and touched his cheek.

"You don't have to hide from me. . ."

Logan sighed.

". . . not ever." -She finished her sentence.

He took her hand, which was still resting on his on his cheek, and
gave it a gently squeeze.

"Sorry."-He apologized again.

"Logan, you've got nothing to be sorry for . . . or ashamed of. It's
never been about you being able to walk . . . Not for me."

"But Max . . . Look at me, you deserve so much better."

"Me?"-She shrugged. "I should kick your ass for saying that! I am
nothing but trouble. I should have known that I had a seizure coming.
Then this wouldn't have happened and you wouldn't get hurt . . ."
-She sighed.

"Max, listen . . .You've got nothing to be sorry for, it's not your
fault.

She smiled a little.

"Will you look at us?" -Logan laughed

"Pathetic. . . "

"Hopeless . . ."

"Lucky we hooked up." -Max replied

"I love you, Max."

"Me too." -She joked.

"Hey!" - Logan frowned

"Just joking!" -She punched him in the shoulder, not intending to harm
him.

"Auch!"

"Ow sh*t, are you OK?"

"Yeah, but don't make a habit out of this!" -He winced.

"I'm sorry. . ." -She moved closer and kissed him on the lips

"Better?" -She pouted.

"Not yet."

She gave him another passionate warm kiss.

"Better now?"

"Yep, all better."-He laughed.

"Good! . . . By the way, I love you too." -Max smiled.

Logan smiled and felt his cheeks were going red.

Max snuggled closer to Logan and wrapped her arm around his
shoulder's. She felt him tense at her touch.

"Are you OK?" -She removed her arm away from Logan, thinking he was in
pain.

"Yeah, it's just . . . I haven't been so close to anyone after. you
know, after the shooting." - He said shyly.

"Well, you better get used to it soon, because I am not going
anywhere!"-She laughed and placed her arm back where it was before.

There was a peaceful silence between them. They both enjoyed each
others presence.

"Logan?"

"Yeah?"

"You know, what you did. . . in the bathroom. You didn't have to. . .
I mean you were risking your own health for me."

"Max, I would do it again, if I had to. . . DO you really think I
could leave you like that?"

"Thanks for saving my ass" - She joked.

"Yeah, I and thank you for saving my life, again." -He laughed.

"You know. . . We'll be connected forever. . ."

". . . Because I have your blood running through my veins."

"I told you, you won't get rid of me that easily!" -She laughed.

"I won't even try to! I always wanted a cat that I could pet and
feed!" -He joked.

"Hey, watch it!" -She playfully slapped his shoulder again.

"Careful, Max. . . I might need them one day!" -He laughed.

Logan's fingers ran through her hair and guided her closer. His lips
met hers.

"Logan?"

"Yeah?"

"I just want you to know, that you are more than just a meal-ticket to
me."

"Good."

"But speaking of meal-tickets, I am starving! What's for dinner?" She
looked eagerly at Logan.

"Hey, don't look at me! I can't leave the bed, doctors prescription,
remember?"

"I know, silly." -She leaned forward and hiss him on his forehead.

"Thanks Max." - He said dully. "Oh, and Bling is the new chef."

"Good! Then I'll go find him and see what's for dinner."

She carefully got out of bed and headed towards the kitchen.

. . .
Logan smiled. He was happy that Max was with him, he was relieved
that she accepted him the way he was. He was thrilled that they have
admitted what they felt for each other. But how will Max take it if
she found out what he was hiding from her?
