Chapter 4.

They rounded the final corner to Max's apartment 863 gripped tightly onto Alec she was still a little woozy from the drink, but she was starting to recover from it pretty quickly. They pulled up in front of the apartment, Alec got off and began to help 863 off.

"I've got it." She said getting off herself. "Thanks for that I think I'm pretty much all there." 863 began to open the entrance door to the apartment lobby.

"You coming up?"

"What?"

"For coffee, I'm not going to make you walk all the way home."

"Oh."

"Hurry up then." 863 opened the door to the apartment and let Alec walk through. 863put some water in a pan and put it on the stove.

"So Max how's that remedy for you?" "A little strong but sure does make you forget a whole lot." "Yeah you know all jokes aside you and Logan could still work things out." He couldn't believe he was saying this. Telling the girl he was in love with to go back to her love. Guess he just wanted to see her happy more then anything.

"Why would I want to go back with Logan? We can't touch I constantly need to protect him and anyway he's more interested in saving the world and I don't want that." She turned away and poured the coffee into cups. She brought the to the couch where Alec was sitting.

"So if you don't want that what exactly do you want?"

"Someone who can take care of themselves, someone who can have time for me, someone I can touch." She reached up and touched Alec's face. Her heart was beating almost as fast as his. He brushed away her hair from her face. She gently pulled him closer and kissed him. They began to kiss passionately. 863 pulled back quickly. "I can't, I can't I'm not supposed to" She said hysterically.

"Because of Logan?" The disappointment in his voice was obvious.

"No it's not that it's just I can't okay."

'Look if you don't want to fine if it's just the drink fine. But if you do there's nothing stopping you. If you want I will go right now." He walked to the door and unlocked it.

"No I don't want you to go." She walked up to him and put her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her.

"Are you sure about this?"

"I'm positive." She kissed him gently. Their heartbeats started to rise rapidly. They began kissing more passionately. They were so caught up in the moment that they didn't hear the door open.

"So it's really true." 863 and Alec both spun around.

"Logan what are you doing here?"

" The door was unlocked Max. Just came to apologize about the way I acted but it seems that I wasn't overreacting at all. I just can't believe that you would sink this low."

"Excuse me." Alec defended himself. "What exactly is so low about me if anyone's low its you. Well when your in the wheelchair anyway." Logan went for him but Alec dodged his fist easily. " You missed cripple."

"You two stop it." 863 stepped between them. "I think you should probably go Logan."

"Max?"

"I'm sorry you had to find out like this but you did."

"I can't believe this. I'll go then but Max if you get tired of the pretty boy you know where to find me" He left the apartment slamming the door on his way out.

"Max you okay?"

"Yeah. He won't let it go will he?"

"I doubt it."
