Okay, it's one I've been working on for a long time lol, but I don't have enough free time right now to make it exactly the way I want it. Maybe I'll change it a little in a while I don't know... I also thought about making two chapters out of it but since I don't know when I'm going to post again, I decided not to be mean with you guys. Anyway hope you'll like it and the most review I get, the faster I'll be for the next chapter ;)

Ch. 8 Show me love

Eric was going over the maps Logan had given them. This was an almost impossible job for ordinaries but he wasn't worried they would complete it in a minute. After all, they were three genetically engineered soldiers. He heard someone knocking. Oh god, I bet a million I know who is here to see Max. He thought, almost annoyed by the fact this was surely Logan.

"Hey." He said, trying to ignore the death glare he received from the ordinary.

"Happy, I'm giving you an opportunity to bring her away from me." Logan said bitterly, giving the car's keys to Eric.

"Ok, I'm bored now, let's get things straight. You don't own Max and I stopped hitting on her, which, by the way is not because of you..."

"You don't like her ?" Logan asked, surprised.

"If I stopped hitting on her…" Eric continued like Logan hadn't speak. "…it's because I usually don't steal my best friend's girl.

Logan finally understood what Eric was trying to say. "Max hates Alec, she always has and Alec is to self-caring to love." He said.

Eric shook his head in disbelief, he was that close to hit the man. "Please, the way he looks at her, the way he talks about her, the way they bicker…but why am I even trying to explain that to you…" Eric wondered. "All I know, is that seeing you will put Max into a bad mood and, since I'm gonna be spending twelve hours with her in a car I don't want it to happen so no, I'm not letting you in. She'll see you when we'll be back."

"Logan ?" Max said as she walked closer to the door. "What are you doing here ?…Thanks Eric, I can handle it." Eric shook his head again and left them alone. Logan smiled at Max, Eric was wrong, he had to be, he wouldn't stand it. Alec liking his Max, it made no sense.

"Max, I wanted to wish you good luck for the mission." He said warmly. "Thanks." She answered with a smile. "And I've printed new maps of the area." Alec appeared behind Max's back and took the maps. "Thanks Logan" He said as he had never cut in. Logan was thinking he was a little too close to Max. "Hum…the ones I gave to you last time were too old...can I get in ?" He asked as Alec was walking away.

Max seemed embarrassed. "You know it's too dangerous !" Logan agreed, it wasn't the good time to upset her, soon they would be together. "Ok, I see you soon." He said as he left. "Bye." Max said as she closed the door. She went back to the kitchen. "Is everyone ready ?" She asked to her two friends. "Yes" Alec and Eric replied in synch. "Then let's do it !"

"Accidentaly in love"

"No, I'm not giving you my pillow Max"

"You precious little baby, common it's been four hours that I have this stupid metal bar against my back." Max's voice reflected how uncomfortable she was but Alec couldn't care less, after all, it was she that had mock him about bringing a pillow.

"You just had to sit in the back instead of being so stubborn." He stated as he took a bite of his apple.

" Stuborn ?" Max tried to steal away the pillow by trying a fast move but Alec knew it was coming so he caught her wrist and held it far from his little piece of heaven and continued to eat his apple as if nothing happened. Max looked so mad he finally smirked and laugh, unable to keep it inside. Max gave him a death glare and freed herself from his grip with annoyed groan. Eric shook his head.

Max stared at the road for a good thirty second before turning again and try to hit Alec but she missed and handed up slapping Eric on the head.

"Argh!" He said trying to keep his focus on the road.

"Sorry." Max apologized, giving a blaming look at Alec.

"Ok, I've had enough of you two !" Eric said as he pulled over.

Max and Alec looked at each other with a questionning look. What is he talking about ? The thought in synch, oblivious of their own behaviour. Eric opened Max's door and she got up, surprised. Then the transgenic forced her to find her way to the back of the car. Max tried to argue but Eric's dertermined gaze stopped her. She sat beside Alec who tried to hide his pillow completely behind his back. Max ignored him and acted like the window offered the most amazing view. After a while, Alec gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder, trying to get her attention. She turned to face him and he smiled, just before hiting her playfully with the pillow.

"Alec!" She shouted, trying to be furious but failing to be really angry. He grinned and hit her again but she caught the other end of the pillow and pulled it away from him. He pouted with the most dissapointed look. "You're mean Max." He said falsely hurt. She gave him a satisfied glance and rested her aching back on the pillow. A look of victory brightened her features. She's so..." Alec began. Wait, she's so what ! It's Max she's not so... anything. Looking quite disturbed, he stopped his making-Max-mad game.

Eric was enjoying the ride now that Mad-Max was out of his way. Alec and her were just so childish around each other. Come to think of it, it had been a while since they had had an argument. Eric glanced behind him just enough to see a very sleepy Max resting on an even sleepier Alec. Finally He thought happily, he would be able to think for a minute.

When Alec woke up, he felt her warmth on his side and opened his eyes slowly. She was peaceful, everything was dark around, Eric had his eyes on the road so he allowed himself to stoke her hair gently, felling her soft loose curls slide between his fingers. He was so happy she was finally at peace with him, no longer beeing the screw-up in her life. He had stayed around just for her in the beggining, denying that he admired her all along, from the very first moment she had stood up against Manticore's order to right now, as she slept in his arms for the first and probably the last time. His heart slightly ached at this thought but he pushed everything away from his mind, everything but Max and allowed himself to just feel.

Max was slowly coming back to reality, she immediatly felt Alec's hand playing with her hair. Nice. She thought, the awkwardness of the situation not hiting her. She acted as she was still asleep and enjoyed it for a few more minutes. After all, it had been a lifetime since she had allowed herself to feel so safe. Nothing can happen now, I have two of Manticore's best COs to watch over me. She decided to ignore the fact that she was in Alec's arms and that she was liking it too much for it to be normal.

Alec reluctantly stopped his caresses when Eric started to come back to reality. Not a minute after, Max was up too, he had feared she would be angry for letting herself rest but no, she seemed so happy. They had reached the motel they would sleep in. The got up and Eric rented the last two rooms available.

"There were only two left." He said with a big yawn.

"No problem, Alec can sleep on his pillow." Max said with a teasing smile.

"Anyway I'm going to sleep right now, you two lazy-ass must be well enough to check if the facilty is really 2 miles from here." He made it sound like a suggestion when it was really an order. But he had an idea in mind by making them go together. "And if one of you dare waking me up..." He said, implying he would be alone in his room. With that he was gone, Max and Alec began their walk in the woods toward their destination.

"Show me love"

They talked about little things, but they mainly just enjoyed not beeing alone. They were now on the way back. Before, spending a day with Alec would have driven Max insane but now she couldn't even imagine how she would survive a day without him. She was felling guilty for all the times she had wished he would dissapear from her life. She quickly glanced in his direction. She was in the woods with Alec, somehow she had feared looking at him would bring Ben back to her mind but no, he caught her eyes and gave her a genuine smile. She smiled back. A thunderstorm began over their heads, so they hurried.

They reached the end of the woods and rain started to pour on them. In a minute, they were as wet as they would have been after a bath. They looked at each other and began to laugh.

"Let's race, the first one to the motel door wins the bed !" She said playfully. He agreed with an evil grin.

"One…two…" She began. "Go !" She started to run, hardly resisting to the need of looking back at him to see his reaction. "You're a cheater" Alec screamed as he went after her. They were halfway to the motel now and Max was losing her focus as she started to laugh hard, and she felt Alec's hand on her back, trying to stop her. She shrieked and chuckled as she tried to increase her speed. Suddenly, Max lost her balance and stopped, their body hit hard, and she fell, bringing Alec with her.

Realising he was now on top of her, Alec smirked. "You little cheater, you're not going anywhere." She giggled in is arms, trying to escape from his strong hold. Her back against the wet grass, she was blinded by the rain. She couldn't see him but she felt him get up and started to run. Two second later, she was right behind him, she tried to overtake him but, as she was succeeding, Alec caught her wrist and pulled her to him. They were two feet from the door.

Breathing fast, they looked at each other. Alec was all wet, water was running down his face and his golden skin sparkled as a lightning invaded the dark sky. She looked at him in the eyes and hold his intense gaze, aware of his warm body just next to her. She felt his hand pulling her closer to him. He put his free hand on her neck, his hot caresses were feeling like heaven against her cold and wet skin. She closed her eyes and purred, with a low growl, he bend down to kiss her. Their lips met, awakening something in her she had never felt. Something instinctive, feral. She ran her hands in his wet hair, pulling him closer, her body craving for more. He pushed her roughly against the door, their tongue duelling. He deepened the kiss, her body was burning from the inside. He started kissing her neck, his breathing getting heavier as his desire was growing. Suddenly, Alec stopped, trying to think straight. What am I doing, she's gonna kill me tomorrow. He sincerely thought. He put his second hand around her waist, he didn't want to push her away but he needed to know if she really wanted this. Max did wanted him to continue, in fact, she was pretty upset he had stopped. She didn't feel like thinking about consequences, she was feeling like she was in heat but yet it wasn't exactly the same. Pure lust running through her veins, she wanted him and it was all she could think about. He lightly pushed her waist against the door again, increasing her hunger.

"You won the bed !" He said as he rested, eyes closed against her forehead. Max grinned wickedly when his lusted voice lowered saying the word "bed". "I might want to share it." She offered brushing her lips against his. She kissed him hungrily, sweeping his doubts away. Between kisses, Max managed to reach the doorknob and she pulled Alec in with her, making clear that she didn't want him to stop. He didn't.
