Chapter 2 Impossible Surprises
There was two things that Max became aware of as she woke, one begin she was wrapped up in a pair strong arms and was really comfortable, the other she was NAKED.
If that wasn't enough to send her flying from the bed she was laying in the familiar male voice she heard was.
"Morning baby, sleep well" was the husky male voice that whispered in her ear.
Max threw herself out the bed obviously forgetting the second thing she had been aware of when she woke.
"WHITE? WHAT THE HELL" was the shocked scream that escaped her lips, but as if it couldn't get any worse for her she suddenly became VERY aware she was standing in front of him still naked, snatching up the bed sheet she ran into the nearest room.
Lady Luck had finally giving her a break because the room was the bathroom and she spotted some of her clothes laying around.
With speed that was mostly fuelled by shock and panic she changed into them and climbed out the window. She saw the Space Needle in the distance and started to run towards it, if she ever needed to get her thoughts together it was now.
When she reached the top of the Needle she began to pace back and fourth, "Okay don't panic, stay calm, deep breaths, all you did was wake up NAKED in the arms of your ENEMY but that happens everyday, okay, okay, okay, that's not staying clam, more deep breaths".
"Max, God please tell me you know what the hell is going on"
Max spun around when she heard her name, to see Nikki standing there, looking as freaked out as she felt.
"Nic, oh God I have no idea, wait where's Alec"
"Right here" he answered walking out the entrance of the Needle.
"Okay does anyone have any idea about what the fuck is going on? Cause the last thing I remember we were all standing in that cave." Max asked still in shock from actually liking the feel of Ames'… dammit! White's arms around her. What is wrong with me? It's just the confusion it means nothing. Yeah right you keep telling yourself that but you did like it an annoying voice piped up Shut the hell up! Great he's got me arguing with myself now.
"MAX!"
"What!" Max shouted almost jumping out of her skin.
"We're trying to figure out what the fuck is going on, which by the way I have come to the conclusion is your fault, while your off with the fairies!" Alec shouted at her.
"My fault, how the hell didja come to that conclusion" Max growled at him, ready to pounce.
"If you hadn't read that stupid inscription on the wall none of this would have happened" Alec shouted.
"Happened! we don't even know what has happened, and what is wrong with you" Max shouted back.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?"
"AM I TALKING TO A WALL NOW?"
"I WOKE UP TO DISCOVER I'M MARRIED TO A WOMAN I DON'T!"
"Whoa, really? No wonder you're freaked out, me I was just ENGAGED" Nikki shouted, breaking into the argument.
"And… uh… Max…I…erm…would…er…look…at…you're…left…hand…too, wow took me like a week to get that sentence out, huh?"
All eyes went to Max's left hand to see a beautiful engagement and wedding ring on her finger.
"Oh my God, either I'm cheating on my husband with him or I'm married to HIM, OH GOD!"
"Who?" Nikki asked.
"Okay panicking is getting us no where, Alec start from the beginning, Nikki your next" Max took command while smartly avoiding the question.
