It had been two days since Max and Alec arrived home to find Max's father waiting on them. Two days and they still hadn't had sex which Max was ok with she didn't need to have sex with him but Alec on the hand; well he wasn't taking it too well.

"You can't avoid me forever" Alec stated watching as Max walked around the kitchen making herself something to eat.

She gave him an odd look "what?"

"You won't let me touch you"

Max stopped what she was doing looked at him "you touched me two minutes ago" she smiled tightly.

He stood up and before she knew what was happening he had her pressed up against the fridge.

He watched as her eyes grew wide and could see she was annoyed "don't you want me Maxie?" he breathed against her lips.

She was trying so hard to not give in "you said you were going to woo me" she said with a teasing grin.

"I bought you flowers" he said with a serious look on his face "wasn't that enough?"

She slapped him round the head lightly "that all you got?"

"Well how about I wrap myself up then you can unwrap me?" he offered with a smile.

"Shut up and kiss me" she demanded. And as Alec expected after a few moments she pulled away. Alec sighed, closing his eyes he rested his head on her shoulder "it's a good thing I love you" he whispered into her shoulder.

Max pulled him back a little forcing him to look at her "What did you just say?"

He gave her an odd look "I said it's a good thing I love you"

Her mouth turned up at the corners into a small smile "You love me?" she asked.

"Yeah I've told you that before" he said as his brain started thinking about it, he was sure he had told her before.

"Yeah over 6 years ago"

Then it hit him, that's what she'd been waiting on she needed to know he still loved her, so he smiled at her. "I love you" he said with his sexy half smile on his face.

Her smile grew wide and it reached her eyes. "I love you too" she admitted she placed her hand in his "show me" she said and before she could change her mind Alec picked her up and ran her to the bedroom.

"Where do you think your going?" he demanded to know when he felt her getting up from the bed a few hours later.

She turned around to look at him, holding the bed sheet tightly against her chest "I need to pick up your son" she reminded him. He thought it through and nodded his head before grabbing hold of the bed sheet and pulling her on top of him.

"Alec!" she said as if she was telling him off "I find you so sexy when you tell me off like I'm a little kid" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

She couldn't help but laugh at him "Jamie" she said as he started kissing her softly. "I'm Alec" he said before kissing her again, she rolled her eyes and placed her hands on his chest pushing him back down against the bed.

"One of us needs to pick him up" Alec shook his head disagreeing with her "Ben's picking him up" he said finally

"How?"

He smiled and shrugged "I may have called him an hour ago and asked him too"

"Oh" she looked around the room "but you just want away from me" Alec didn't like her reaction one little bit and pushed her off him as he sat up.

She didn't let him get away though, she pushed him back down and pinned him to the bed.

"Shut up" she said before making him shut up.

Max heard the front door open and froze "what's wrong?" he asked her

"You locked that door right?" Alec looked at the door "not sure" he said looking at it.

"We'll know soon enough" she said preparing herself for the fact their son might catch them in a very awkward position.

"Jamie come here" they could hear Ben shout.

Just then the handle to the door turned and luckily it was in fact locked. Both Max and Alec let out the breath they were holding.

"Thank god" Max said laughing a little.

"Mummy?" Jamie called through the door. "He heard you" Alec whispered to her.

"Just coming baby I'm just getting changed" "OK" he called back before running from the door to entertain himself.

Two hours Max, Alec and Jamie were watching TV.

"I'm going to LA tomorrow" Alec said out of the blue Max turned to him "when did you decide this?" she demanded to know, he shrugged "I have things I need to sort out then I can be here full time" he explained.

Ben who had been in the kitchen heard what his brother said and walked into the sitting room, Alec could feel Ben's eyes on him but choose to ignore them.

"Nice of you to tell me" Max said moving away from him "Max come on" he said trying to reach for her but she swatted his hand away.

"I'll come with you" Ben said still glaring at his brother Alec finally looked at him "Ok"

"Tell your son" Max said getting up off the sofa she walked away from him.

2 hours later after having tried to avoid Ben since he said he was going to LA Ben finally cornered him in the kitchen.

"Why?" he demanded

Alec was just about to take a drink of water stopping the bottle just before it touched his lips he looked at his brother "What?"

"Why are you going to LA?"

"To sort stuff out" he said casually turning his back on Ben.

Ben scoffed "if you sleep with her Max will kill you"

"I'm not going to now keep your voice down" he demanded in rough voice.

"Max isn't Rachel she won't stand for it"

"I know that I'm going to tell her its over, that's all I'm not going to cheat on Max or my son" Alec told him firmly.

"I'm still coming"

"Yeah yeah" was Alec's reply as he walked out the kitchen.

The next morning after taking Jamie to school Alec was packing and Max still wasn't talking to him, she hadn't even let him sleep in the bed last night as she was so pissed that he hadn't told her.

"Going to talk to me before I leave?" he asked her back as she was staring out the window.

She ignored him Ben who was sitting on the sofa he was already packed started laughing "Shut up" Alec demanded of his brother.

She turned around and looked at him finally speak "I might not be here when you get back" with that she walked past him, but he grabbed hold of her arm.

"What does that mean?" his green eyes flashing with hurt and anger

But she remained unaffected by the look in his eyes "my house could be finished" she said before pulling her arm out of his grasp.

He sighed "still think you should be going?"

"Don't start with me Ben" Alec warned him. He wasn't in a very good mood "I just want this over with so I can come back here and argue with her" he said pointing in the direction Max had just went.

"Our ride is here" Ben said grabbing his bag off the floor and throwing it over his shoulder.

Alec nodded "Just coming" with that Ben walked downstairs.

Max walked out the bedroom when she heard the door closing she assumed Alec had left and was shocked to find him standing in the middle of the room.

"I don't want to go while you're mad at me" he told her.

She didn't say anything so he walked up to her and pulled her into his arms, she was tense but he didn't mind "bye" he whispered before trying to kiss her but she pulled away from him before he could.

"Bye Max" he said with a hurt look on his face and headed for the door.

"I love you" she said just as he was about to close the door, he looked around and smiled at her "I love you too" he closed the door and met his brother downstairs.

"Hope you know what you're doing" Ben said as the plane landed in LA

Alec nodded his head "I do" he said getting into the car outside the airport doors.

Ben watched his brother; somehow Alec's plans never seemed to go correctly he just hoped that this time everything would work out for his brother he knew how much he loved Max and Jamie.
