Chapt. 2-The Next Day
The sun was rising and it was the day Max and Alec had to prepare for the mission.
Max woke up thinking "Ah, crap!"
She remembered what today was "Stupid Alec he is so annoying, he always ruins my day one way or another"
Later Max walked out into the kitchen in her P.Js and saw O.C eating some cereal.
"Hey O.C" she said glumly.
O.C took a hard long look at her friend "What's wrong with my girl today?"
Original Cindy poured Max a bowl of cereal with milk.
"It's just that I have to do this job for Logan with Alec" Max replied as she stared at her bowl of cereal.
"You never told Original Cindy 'bout no job" O.C sounding a bit confused.
"I was meaning to tell you but I just felt real sleepy for some reason and I fell asleep" Max explained.
"This time O.C's gonna let it slide but next time you better spill before you go makin' some plans" She warned Max with a smirk
"Yeah I'm sorry" Max apologised.
"So what's this whole dealio with you and Alec anyways?" O.C suddenly asked.
Max coughed because of the cereal she was munching on, plus the question her friend just asked made her choke.
Original Cindy lightly patted her on the back "You wanna explain to O.C?"
"Yesterday when Logan paged me, he had a job for me and Alec to do because of the whole virus thing so he couldn't go" Max took a deep breath to recover from the choke "I have to go to this dinner party then stay at a hotel for the night, we have to get some data on a guy called Glenn Richards" She sighed and looked at her roomie.
"Let me get this straight, my girl is going to a dinner party with Alec and staying at a hotel with?" O.C stared at Max trying to get an answer out of her even though it was pretty obvious who she was going to stay with.
Max leaned back on her chair "With Alec, you know he is so immature and is a total asshole!"
"I hear ya Boo, but you gotta admit they sure know how to make 'em pretty" O.C finishing her breakfast.
Ignoring the last comment, the brunette just quickly said "Yeah, um.... gotta pack" then dashed to her room.
Alec awoke and thought "Finally get to see Max in a dress, wonder what colour it will be?"
He jumped up from his bed and went for a hot shower.
Alec then after searched the whole kitchen for some decent food but he couldn't find any. So he just shrugged "Guess I'll just buy me some take-away"
Alec walked in his room starting to pack any clothes he could get his hands on.
O.C sat on the couch and yelled at Max "What do I tell Normal 'bout you going outta town for a day or two?"
"Just tell him I'm at my cousin's wedding" She couldn't think of a better excuse though she knew Normal wouldn't buy it.
"Sugar, you know Normal ain't gonna buy that" O.C put her feet up on the coffee table.
Stuffing the things in her bag Max shouted "Well then I guess he has to live with it whether he likes it or not!"
Max brought her bag with her and sat beside her friend waiting for Alec to pick her up.
Alec called Normal on his cell "Hey, I'm feeling a bit sick and I think it'll be a day or two until I come back"
"You poor thing, take as long as you want" Normal replied.
"Thanks" Alec tried to sound sick with a fake cough.
"Well that's done, now to call for a limo" He thought to himself with a grin.
Max complained "If Alec is going to take this seriously he should be here by...."
A beep interrupted with a shout "Max hurry up!" it was Alec
O.C hugged Max "Boo you take care of yourself!"
"You too O.C!" shouted Max as she ran down to the streets.
As she got down there her eyes widened "Alec how'd you pay for this?"
Alec looked at her "With money, how else"
"C'mon get in" Alec signalled for her to get in.
Max hopped in the limo and Alec did the same after she did.
O.C had reached Jampony and as soon as she walked in Normal questioned her "Where's Missy Miss today?"
She lied "Max is at her cousin's wedding".
"Not another cousin!? That was one of her last excuses" Normal gave Original Cindy an unconvinced look.
Then after Normal announced "Bip, bip people we're down, two messengers so you people better work fast or there's gonna be a major problem!".
As O.C went over to her locker she saw Sketchy about to approach her.
"Hey, where's Max today?" her friend asked while leaning on the lockers.
"She's at her cousin's wedding" she didn't want him to make a big deal out of the actual reason.
"Oh c'mon O.C, she's probably out there gettin' some action or something" Sketchy did an imitation of a jab.
"Let's just say that my girl and Alec are doing a job for Logan" She gave him a grin.
"Max and Alec, huh?" Sketchy put on his bag, "Wonder what they'd get up to".
"Now listen up, Max and Alec are gonna fight like hell she can't stand him, let alone being in the same room with him" Original Cindy being a bit defensive.
They stopped at 'Designer Outfits' which is where they had to get there dining clothes. Max and Alec walked in the store. Both went their separate ways. Alec looked at the tuxes and Max was picking out a variety of dresses.
Alec took this black tux with a white shirt for the inside. Max grabbed the sparkly black halter neck dress and ran over to the counter. Waiting for Alec to arrive Max just looked around, inspecting the shop. He strolled to the counter.
"I'll take this one" Alec pleasantly handed the tux to the lady behind the counter.
"And I'll take this one, thanks" Max gave the dress to the same woman.
"Ok, so are you two paying together?" The counter lady asked.
"Yeah" The pair answered as they both smiled.
The lady scanned the price tags "That comes to a total of $32, 475."
Alec reached in his pocket and took out his wallet. Max stared at the large sum of money that he just handed over to the woman behind the counter.
As they were walking out Max pointed out "You're sure spending a hell of a lot of money today"
"Yeah, I'm making the most of it" Alec winked at her.
In the car Max had a good look at the dress. Alec then asked "You like it?"
"Yeah, but you know I could of paid for it myself, right?" Max questioned back.
"Of course I did, I just wanted to return the favour you know for saving my ass all the time" He put on that charming grin of his.
"Well, thanks" She accepted with a smile.
"Wine?" Alec offered.
"No thanks" Max surprisingly declined.
"Max I know you want some" He teased.
"If it will make you shut up then pour me some!" She hesitated then took the glass off Alec.
"There, you satisfied?" Max drank the entire glass.
"Totally" He smiled with satisfaction written all over his face. The reason for this is because once someone gets drunk they tend to do silly things and he'd like to see what she would do.
It was a around 5pm now and Max felt a bit woozy after that glass of wine.
Alec took a sip of wine then turned to look at Max "Are you ok?"
"Of course I'm ok!" She shouted.
"I'm not drunk!" Max added.
"The wine took effect; this was one side of Max he had never seen before though it's kinda funny" Alec thought.
"Hey" She blurted.
"Yeah" Alec said softly looking at her.
Max stared for a long time "You have a bit of green in your eyes"
"I do?" He slowly put his glass down.
They were both lost in each other's eyes. For a moment there he thought that they were really connecting then he heard something. Max was going to vomit.
"Murray, stop the car please" Alec shouted to the driver.
"Right away Mr. Hallow" The driver did as he was told and pulled over near the sidewalk of the bridge.
Alec took Max to the edge of the bridge. She vomited and Alec turned away.
"This is entirely your fault" She glared at him.
"I wouldn't say entirely my fault you did drink the wine, it's not like I forced you to" Alec defended himself.
"Can't argue with that" Max thought.
"Whatever" She finally said.
Alec led her back to the limo. "Shall I continue driving?" Murray asked.
"Yep" Alec got in the vehicle.
