Forget Me Not
Disclaimer: I don't own it never will, but blah blah right? Cuz who really cares?
A/N: I'm sorry I took a while, I had to take a bit of time to straighten my thoughts on this one. But I am better now. Also pretty busy now that I have gotten back on track with school.
Chapter Five
"Well wasn't that just fun?" Alec grumbled while ripping of his smelly gloves and tossing them in the back of Max's truck. "I don't know which was more fun, cleaning up the dog shit or this."
Max laughed. "Hold on a minute you're the one who asked for an honest job... you got yourself into this." She hopped in the truck and unlocked his door.
"Yeah but honest jobs are hard" he pouted.
"Sure when you have Normal babying you" she retorted.
"Well yeah" he stated quite honestly.
"What's that?" Max paused as if just remembering something "Ah the sweet, sweet smell of revenge" she smiled tauntingly while placing a hand on his taunt chest.
Which unintentionally made Alec pout even more. He was just playing; she knew it... that was just Alec.
"You're pathetic!"
"Oh but you love it" Max rolled her eyes dramatically while inserting the key to the ignition.
"Whatever it is ya gotta tell yourself Alec."

"So Alec? What..." Max said as she waltzed into her room thinking nothing of it. "Alec!" she yelled as she turned around in embarrassment.
"What?" he grinned. Fully knowing she had an eyeful of his back end.
"You that's what!" She snapped still turned around with a hand over her eyes for good measure. Though an undiscovered part of her was tempted to turn around; hell to the consequences.
"You didn't knock" he stated matter-of-factly. Max felt a flush coming over her as the thoughts relayed.
"The door was open!"
"Kay done" Max completely unsure turned around. She watched as he undoubtedly looked for his shirt. He had pretty much taken over her room.
"Sides' that, this, my room" she stated knowingly.
"Well... I'm a guest..." Max waited impatiently. "And... I slept in it!" She still stood tapping her toe. "Fine your right it's your room, that was pointless."
"What's new?" she finally let roll of her tongue. Things may be strained between the two but there was no way she was gonna treat him differently.
"Alright I'll be the mature one and not respond to that... even though it was rude." He was rummaging through her closet now.
"Alec I don't think your shirt's in there" he grinned as he spotted a pair of panties hanging out of a drawer.
"Black lace huh Max?" he grinned letting them drape on his finger.
Max opened her mouth to say something but stopped. She stomped over to where he was and snatched them out of his hands. "Not that you should know but yes" she then swiftly laid a fist to his gut. "Don't go through my closet" Max yelled throwing his shirt in his face. 'It was laying on the bed, moron, he knew it too.'
'Alright... I deserved that one.'

"Hey babe, why are you in today? Thought you'd be out with your very, very, very good friend." Brandy laughed, Max scowled. "Where is prince...?"
"He's over there" she threw a thumb behind her, most likely referring to the other side of the bar. "And he's no prince-nothing."
"Whatever you say... but you know I'm not gonna be able to keep Codi tied up for very much longer. You want him you're gonna hafta take him before someone else does. He's a looker and he isn't gonna be on the market much longer."
Max rolled her eyes. "Codi can have him..."
"He made you mad didn't he?"
"Spending a day with him will do that" she grumbled while serving another greasy man another drink.
"Well I don't wanna hurt your feelings or anything, but I'm getting a new girl, so we all have shorter shifts."
"Who?" Max couldn't help it... curious cat.
"Carmen."
"Carmen?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Cuz she is all... with her... and..." Max motioned with her hands to refer to her chest and hair. Brandy understood.
"I know, the guys will love her."
"Yeah" Max mumbled. Brandy didn't hear her of course.
Alec laughed it was the first time she noticed him sitting on the barstool in front of her.
"What?" she snapped and turned her attention back to the half slammed customers.
"Max! Carmen's in you can go now" Brandy interrupted.
"Why don't you just fire me" she said sarcastically while jumping over the bar and into an empty seat near Alec. Brandy shook her head. "You know what? You're... you're... a meanie" Max joked.
"Watch out Maxie, you're starting to sound like..."
"Shut-up!" she snapped while reaching over the bar, hand returning with a full bottle of liquor. She broke off the cap and started to guzzle. Alec stared at her disbelievingly.
"What?" she turned to face him abruptly, he hadn't realized he was staring.
"Nothing"
"Liar" He said nothing but still stared at her. Want some? She gestured with the bottle.
"Nah I think you're gonna need a designated driver."
Max was really ready to fight back when that voice, that happy, dreary voice...
"Hey guys!" she said way to happy for Max's taste.
"Do I know you?" they said simultaneously.
A/N: Okay I know I probably shouldn't have stopped there... but I know exactly what is happening next and I promise it won't take long for me to transfer it to paper...
