Chapter # 3
Some thing's never change.
Lydecker stood in front of Max. He was studying her. Her face was pale and slightly bruised. But it was barely noticeable.
"You disappoint me 452." He pranced around her as if she was some kind of circus act.
"Normally you're the first one in training. But today you decided to wait 24 minutes before you graced us with your presence. What do you have to say for yourself soldier?"
"It won't happen again sir."
"Oh I know it won't. You and yours are the best in this facility and I will not let anything change that. Considering it was just tardiness you'll spend the night In the cell. You're dismissed soldier"
"Yes SIR"
Small, dark and creepy. It's the only way you can describe the cell. Well actually its not even all that bad. I mean all you really have to do is sit around and wait. It might as well be called detention...But the thing that was completely out of character for manticore was putting a lot of X's in the same cell.
Max POV
He's goggling at me. He's actually goggling at me. GROSSE. Like a big dumb bold guy would actually have a chance with a super soldier. I'm not even mentioning the hole minimum wage security guard thing.
"You're pretty lucky 452." EAUH!! He even spits when he talks
"Yeah and why's that?"
"You're gonna have the cell all to yourself. C'ept for Golden Boy"
"Who?"
"He's in here practically every day. Loves to get into trouble. I think this time he punched some guards face. Or maybe that was yesterday."
He opened the door to reveal Alec lying on the floor looking up at the sealing.
"452 meet 494" he closed the door behind him leaving the two transgenics starring at each other.
::::
It had been two hole hours and unless you count the awkward hey's given at the beginning they hadn't said one word. Max was bored out of her mind. She couldn't even look at him. Fantasize about him yes. But look at him? And to top that off she knew the minute she got out of here Zack, and with her luck, Jace would be on her case for weeks.
His hands were shaking. All he could do since the second he saw her was think of her. Then out of nowhere she was put in the same room with him. And he couldn't even get himself to talk to her.
Her mind was totally numb... but her mouth not so much.
"This is all your fault you know." She panicked. Seconds before she was searching for things to say and the first things that came out of her mouth was that.
"Come again."
Crap "I said this is all your fault."
"What? What the hell is my fault?" This felt strangely familiar for some reason.
"If you hadn't held me back this afternoon I wouldn't have been late and then stuck in here with you". The words just slipped from her tongue.
"Excuse me but I recall being the one hold back."
"Are you insane you bumped in to me!"
"What? Look lady I don't know who the hell you think you are but just because you're naturally incapable of balance doesn't mean you should go blaming other for your shitty problems."
"Well just because your a pain in the ass doesn't mean I should suffer for whatever you fucking did."
He gaped widely at her. "Maybe you don't care what they do to you but I don't really want to stay locked up like an animal because of some jackass I don't even know."
Max just BE QUIET'she mentally screamed at herself.
"Oh please. This is nothing."
"Says the guy that's in here every night."
Who did this chic think she was. Coming in with her God's gift to men attitude, and flashing her brown eyes, and with her flushed face and...and that frown that looked more like a pout then....
"Do me a favor and shut up!"
"Excuse me? Don't you dare tell me what to-" Before he even knew what was happening Alec grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to him. Her lips tasted like vanilla and strawberries mixed in one.
When his lips brushed against hers she felt a wave of heat come over her. Instinctively she responded kissing him back and raping her arms around his neck.
Max was in heaven, her hands pulled his head closer not wanting to let go. Until she heard a familiar voice.
"Am I interrupting?"
