Chapter Three
Knock Knock
"Alec? Sketchy?" Max knocked again. Alec grinned at Max's hastiness.
Knock Knock
"Hey Alec? You gonna get that?" Sketchy mindlessly stared into the television screen.
"Nah" Alec muttered. "Max will pick the..."
"What the hell is wrong with you two? God your lazy!" Max stomped into the room.
Alec and Sketchy's gaze were locked with the screen witlessly.
"Men!" OC snorted. "You see why I am a lesbian?" She chuckled to herself. When she realized Max was the only on listening to her she snatched the remote out of Alec's hand and turned the tv off.
"OC what are you doing? It was just at the good part..." Sketchy whined.
Max cut him off "We were bringing beer, but I'm sure we can manage on our own so never mind." She turned to leave.
Alec hot on her heels grabbed her arm before she stepped back out into the hallway. "Whoa! Whoa! Max, did I mention how perfect you look?"
He checked out Max. She wore a black tank-top, and navy blue 'Mickey Mouse' pyjama bottoms. His eyes roamed down and back up to her eyes. Max unnerved, yet quite preturbed, looked away quickly.
She slapped Alec's hand away, and shoved her way past him and back into the room.
"Yeah, we decided to play truth or dare, ain't any fun with two people." OC smiled as both boys grabbed a bottle of beer.
"Truth or Dare huh?" Alec smiled at Max. "So where's Loggie boy?"
"Uh, I think he is in his room..." Max didn't look at him. She couldn't watch him grin at her confession. OC noted the uneasy tension between the two. It had become very obvious over the past couple days. She shook her head 'they got it bad, real bad.'
"Well how bout' we get started huh? OC's kinda gettin' bored with this small talk." Max smiled and plopped on a bed across from OC, pulling her legs beneath her, beer in hand. OC watched as Alec slid onto his stomach, on the bed beside Max.
He placed his chin on Max's knee and grinned up to her shamelessly.
"What?" Max snapped.
"Nothing" he said in a child like manner, he still kept staring.
"Then what the hell are you doing?" She growled becoming quite frustrated with the man.
"Looking at you" she laughed unsteadily and smacked him on the shoulder.
"You ass!" Alec opened his mouth to say something. "Let me rephrase that, you jerk!" He closed his mouth and pouted.
"How about I start!" Sketchy smiled. "OC truth or dare?"
"Dare"
"I was hoping you'd say that" Sketchy laughed. "Now you foo down two of them beers, and go down to the main desk and kiss that hot suga momma on the cheek." He mimicked OC's lingo. She scowled at him.
"Just the cheek?" Everyone burst into laughter.
Sketchy guzzled two beer, in the time OC did. They were both slurring and giggling, beer in hand, through the elevator ride. OC smiled at the woman and placed a big wet sloppy kiss on the woman's cheek. Then she laughed and ran away like a school girl. The poor woman staring at her back. The two transgenics had to hold up the drunk ordinaries.
Max could only smile at the familiar sight of her old friends; and their old ways.
"Ok fellas my turn." OC squealed enthusiastically. "Alec truth or dare?"
"Do you have to ask? Dare of course." Alec gloated.
She smiled "Ok, I dare you to kiss that girl you so in love wit." OC pointed at Max.
Alec's jaw dropped and he looked to Max for some sort of permission. Really he wasn't in the mood for a moody Max.
"Come on Alec, we all know you want to. So does Max" OC smirked. Sketchy managed to pass out, half of his body hanging off the bed.
Max looked from Alec and back to OC panicked. Alec took the moment of opportunity to lean over and kiss her. That caught her attention, she blinked a couple times and kissed him back. His fingers wormed around her waist. Hers rested on his chest as she leaned into him.
Alec was so absorbed in the kiss that he forgot about his initial plan. He abruptly slid away leaving the now disheveled Max to fall forward.
OC smiled "You two so dig each other" she stammered. Her eyelids were getting heavy and soon she joined Sketchy.
Max sat up, scooting over away from Alec. She glanced at the grin adorning his face and looked away.
"So Maxie truth or dare?" Alec waggled his eyebrows.
"Truth" Max glowered, choosing against a repeat.
"Did you like that?"
"What kinda question is that?" she growled.
"You said truth Maxie."
"Sure" Max smiled, then mumbled. "But it would've been better if it was anyone but you."
Alec flinched at her small accusation.
They stopped playing the game after that. OC and Sketchy had managed to fumble their way under the covers on one of the beds in the hotel room.
Max and Alec leaned against the headboard watching tv.
Max couldn't focus on the screen, her mind was elsewhere. She was busy convincing herself it was nothing more than a 'dare.'
Alec wasn't doing much better. He kept glancing sideways at the woman beside him. She was playing with her clothes, and staring into the screen dubiously. Alec couldn't help but smirk. He was finally getting to her. It was kinda like she had gotten to him.
