Review:
The dirty blond haired X5 sat there for a couple of moments more stunned. Still unbelieving to all that he had seen and heard that night. Closing his eyes he could still imagine that she had seated besides him… within arms reach. God how could it be that despite it all he still loved her…
End Review:
The city was coming to life just as Alec slipped into OC's apartment by way of Max's bedroom window. The X5 drew a sigh of relief as he found himself safe within familiar walls. It was getting more and more dangerous to traverse the city as sector police tightened their hold on the city.
It took the dirt-blonde haired man awhile to realize that he wasn't alone in the room. As his heart rate slowed his super sensitive ears began to pick up breathing besides his own. Following the sound with his head he turned in the direction of the noise made by the sleeping child buried underneath OC's spear sheets.
Silently crossing the room side stepping dirt clothes and toys Alec came to stand by the side of the bed. Slowly he reached down and peeled away the warm sheets in an attempt to see just whom OC had taken in. Wordlessly he understood that the child must be the one that she had sent word to him about… but wasn't there supposed to be two of them?
Just as he thought this the bedroom door opened and a caramel skinned beauty entered the room. Her beautifully shaped body covered only by a tiny towel and fleeing water droplets.
"M-Max?" Alec stammered as he recognized the pissy X5 female. In a blur the vixen crossed the room slamming her hand over the other's mouth.
"Can it Alec." She hissed angrily her eyes blazing. "She doesn't know it's me."
"How can you believe that?" Alec asked after pushing her hand away. "I mean even if you change the way you look… I mean I… Max can you really believe that?"
"Yes I can and you aren't going to tell her other wise. To her I'm X5453. Not two. My name is Sam and Ray is a X7 I picked up along the way. We're headed to the promise land we heard about."
Alec looked at her in disbelief. "Max you have to be kidding me. This is low. You have to tell her."
"I don't have to tell her anything. Alec…" And as she turned to face the taller X5 he saw the pain flicker in her dark iris for the briefest of moments before it vanished just like Max did a second later as OC pushed open the door.
Sleepily she inquired. "Have you two meet? I heard voices and."
"Yea, we meet in another life." Max said in a soft voice her eyes trained on Alec daring him to say anything in disagreement with her.
"Yea another life." Alec agreed in a subdued tune. "Hey OC do you want me to make you some coffee?"
"Hummm… you really know how get to a girl's heart. Thanx." She said as he walked passed her. Lightly she squeezed his shoulder offering him a weak smile as the two's eyes meet.
"Is he ok?" Max asked in a hushed tone, concern filling her as she caught her best friend's eyes.
"Yea." OC answered replacing the sleeve of her robe on her shoulder. "Well sorta… ya see a couple of months ago a boo of mine split and golden boy out there took it really hard. He had a thigh for her… a bad thing and being that you look like her…" OC sighed and shook her head. With a weary smile and a little laugh she said. "Well I'm sorry ta tell ya all that. I didn't mean to. Damn you sure do look like her." And with that the strong black woman turned and left her best friend's old room.
With teary eyes Max looked down at her feet not sure of what she had done. Maybe Alec was right. Maybe she should tell OC. Alec… the name manifested such images. Could he really feel the same way about her as she did about him?
And suddenly she could see it. With wide eyes memories forced their way to the surface. Little times when he was there for her. When he held her or followed her home thinking that she didn't know. She laughed a little, ironic laugh as tears came to her eyes. How could it be that she never knew? "Alec I love you too." Max whispered to the nearly empty room.
