Disclaimer: I own nothing, but if I did I'm sure season three would have been up a long time ago.
Summary: Max and Alec set out on a road trip to retrieve, a now fully recuperated, Zack. –M/A
Setting: A few weeks after 'Freak nation'
Ramblings: I know I've been going crazy lately with my stories, deleting, re-writing and so on, but I just haven't had my muse lately. Hopefully she's back and ready to write, because I am, but the only way in knowing is if I get reviews =)
Feedback: I can't write without it, otherwise I end up deleting the story. I guess I'll post a new chapter every fifteen reviews or so…
AN: This is going to be a simple fic (Barely any drama)
More Rambling: Sorry, I know this chapter is short too, but that's the way I like it! I promise the next chapter will be a bit longer. =) Sorry about the bad grammar.

Road Trip from hell
Love Shack
---------------------------
Max wrinkled her nose, mortified and in disbelief, as she looked around the room. The pit of her stomach rumbled, an awful feeling, when her eyes lay upon the makings of a bed. One bed-One heart shaped bed. A heart shaped bed that appeared to be covered in flowers and adorned with red satin sheets. Was she hallucinating?
"Wow," Alec nodded, making his way into the room, impressed, "Logan sure did dish out to make sure we slept comfortably."
She sent him a deadly glare, one of many that day. "Why would he rent us a honeymoon sweet?" she asked bewildered, throwing up her hands, "we are not, I repeat, not on a honeymoon."
"As much as I want to make some clever smart-Alec remark, I won't," he laughed, throwing himself down on the large bed, "because I want to make an obvious remark."
"And what is that Alec?" she responded angrily.
"Well Maxie, did you or did you not tell lover boy that we are," he waved between them, "as in you and I, seeing each other romantically."
She scoffed in his direction, momentarily feeling a slight blush. "That doesn't mean he had to rent us a sweet, with one bed," she pointed out. "He must be doing this to mock me, he has to be."
"Maybe…"
"What was he thinking?"
"Well, I don't know Max," he said sarcastically.
She crossed her arms to her chest, "stuck in a room with you."
"It's better than the car."
"True."
"Listen, we have to stay here a couple days because Logan wants to make sure the areas safe, and what not," he shrugged, "you know all the wonder boy stuff he does."
"He's such an ass," she rolled her eyes and took a seat on the bed beside him. She wasn't really upset about sharing a room with Alec, actually she thought it would be pretty interesting, but she couldn't possibly act like she was giddy about this whole thing.
Alec sighed in aggravation, tired of everything, "Well I'll sleep on the floor."
Max felt a tinge of guilt in her body, but chose to ignore it; after all she couldn't possibly lay in a bed with Alec. Although, that thought did lead her to the next thought, 'why can't I lay in a bed with Alec?' She shook her head, brushing it away, and glancing at Alec, who made a small bed on the floor and left to the bathroom. Her thoughts drifted to that of earlier, if I can't sleep in a bed with Alec that must mean I'm scared to sleep in a bed with Alec. She chuckled, shaking her head once again. Why in the world would I be scared to sleep with Alec? A knowing feeling washed over her, but she inwardly cursed. No way, I am not scared that I'll want to feel him next to me. His rippling muscles, half naked and … She stopped, hit her forehead with the palm of her hand and fell back onto the bed. She was going insane, that's the only way to excuse her thoughts. Unless, Heat? No…As much as it's a useful excuse, I went in heat a couple of months ago.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Alec sauntered out of the bathroom and plummeted down onto the hard and most likely cold, floor. There goes the guilt again…
"Goodnight Max," he yawned, and closed his eyes.
"Night Alec," she replied, peering over him.
He noticed her stare, for one because his eyes weren't closed all the way, and for two because he felt it the moment he stepped out of the bathroom. "What's the matter Max?"
She groaned inwardly, Dam-it. "Alec," No…Don't… "Come sleep up here, it's kind of chilly and…I don't mind." You did it, you fool!
He opened his eyes completely, staring into her pretty browns, "No, I know you feel uncomfortable. The floor's fine."
Ugh. She gave him a weary, uneasy smile. "I don't feel uncomfortable. Come on, before I change my mind."
Shrugging, he got up and brought his pillow with him, sliding in bed beside Max. Being in such close proximities to her, he felt a conceited-over the top comment stir up in his brain, but he suppressed it, at the moment being too content to ruin it.
--------------
She waited until she knew for sure he was sleeping, and as soon as he started to snore lightly, she knew for sure.
On her side, she propped herself up with her elbow on the bed and her hand held up her head. She watched him sleep, a satisfied smirk crossing her lips, and his-she pointed out. "You are one beautiful man," the words fell from her lips and she chuckled dryly. She restrained herself from touching the bare skin of his chest, and sighed throwing her head down on the pillow. This is Alec you're thinking about soldier. He is annoying, conceited, egotistical, sexy, and seductive and… She hit herself again, Whack. Buck up- you're on a mission. Oh, god, two whole nights alone in a room with Alec. What the hell is the matter with you? She bit her bottom lip, Cold shower?
------------
His eyes followed her into the bathroom, and he watched in confusion. Awake the whole time, he heard her say 'you are one beautiful man' and restrain herself from touching him? He shook his head, it was a crazy idea, and Max would never want to do anything to him…Never mind, touch him, at least not on purpose. But still she wasn't in heat, if she was he would sense it… So what was it?
----------
Max let the cold drops hit her body hard, at times like this she could stay in the shower for hours. She opened her eyes and looked down at her stomach, and gasped at the sight of a new rune. She searched for more, and found an added total of four new ones. Cringing, she shook her head. What do these bitches mean?
Later
Exhaling, she entered the room, careful not to wake Alec. She slid into bed beside him, and shifted positions; with her back to him it would be easier to fall asleep. Sleep? Yeah right. It's bad enough I have shark DNA, but to top it off I have Alec in the bed next to me. Can it get any worse? And it did, she dammed herself for asking.
Knowingly, Alec wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
At first startled, Max jumped a bit, but after turning her head and glancing at Alec, she realized he was still asleep. Oh, what the hell. She nestled into his warmth and closed her eyes.
Alec let a triumphant smile cross his lips, and started to drift off into dream-land. To be truthful, Alec usually didn't enjoy dreaming, but tonight was a whole different issue.

X5898- I feel so special! You reviewed my prologue! =) Don't worry about Zack wink, I'm going to take good care of him, and besides I hate the way people treat Zack sometimes. I adore him…
X5-666- I have to agree with you on that one, Alec is definitely hotter! Thanks
Nelita- I know, but I feed on reviews (lol) … Their like snicker bar's addicting! If I don't have enough, I loose concentration, which ultimately leads me to deleting the story.
Carebear- cute name =) TRIANGLES! Hm… I love them. Muhahah! But I love banter more, and no matter how much in love I make Max and Alec, banter will always be their source of communication!
Original Proxy- Thank you…I just like the simple idea!
JG- Of course I'm going to end it with M/A, I wouldn't have it any other way!
Senorita-DLH- Haha! I feel loved!
Ellimelli- I know! Stuck for days! I wanted to do it like that so that they could actually get the chance to talk and you know, do other stuff (lol) cause in the show they barely get that time!
SmilinStar- I feel honored that you are reviewing my story and you like it! =) I know I'm a corn ball, but I love your story.
Nat452- I know it's short, most of my chapters are, but I'll try to make it a little bit longer from now on. Coming close to the end the story will be strictly MA, but through the middle there will be slight MZ feelings and blah-Blah. No Loggie-Max though, I despise the thought.
ElvenPrincess01- Haha…Sorry about the shortness, thanks for reviewing.
Aotearoa Hiphop Grl- I'm glad you enjoyed the radio battle. But I'm even gladder you think I write the characters 'perfect', because it's hard to write a fic without a little ooc in a story, and I'm hoping that I keep it up! =) Thanks mama…
I'll post chapter two if I get fifteen reviews =)
