It was six 3 o'clock and Sam arrived home to find Max sitting on the sofa with Jamie watching cartoons.

"What's up?" she asked falling down onto the sofa beside her sister.

She shrugged "he's away to LA and I want to hurt him" she said in a happy voice.

Sam sighed "Max go to LA"

Max turned to face her sister "What?" she asked with an odd look on her face.

"Go to LA and spend time with Alec"

Max spoke "But…" Sam stopped her "Don't use Jamie as an excuse" Max glared at her "you're 22 Max you two need to act like it for a couple days at least"

"I've got Jamie to think about" Max said to her sister.

"I can look after Jamie for a few days, go to LA send Ben back here and spend a few days alone with Alec"

She could see Max was thinking about it but she also knew that Max wasn't going to give in without a fight.

Sam continued "You and Alec need to be alone for a while, you love each other but you have to get know each other again"

Max nodded and gave in a lot easier than Sam thought she would.

"Ok" she smiled at the look on Sam's face.

"That was easy"

Max smiled "I was thinking about it anyway"

"Let's get you a flight" Sam said pulling out her cell phone.

"Jamie" Max disturbed him from his cartoons he stood up and walked towards her "its ok mum you can go with dad to LA" he said smiling at her.

Max shook her head at him he amazed her just like his father. "I love you" she said pulling him in for a hug.

2 hours later Max was on a plane heading to LA.

Ben and Alec had all ready arrived, Alec had tried to call Max to let her know he hand landed safely but Sam answered and told him she was busy.

By 'busy' he guessed she didn't want to talk to him.

Sighing he placed his phone back in his pocket and made his way to his apartment in LA.

"So when you seeing her?" Ben asked as he walked in and dropped his bad on the sofa.

Alec opened his fridge and frowned when he found no food he was able to eat "I need to go shopping" he said, he wasn't trying to avoid the question he just really wanted something to eat.

"Stop avoiding the question" Ben said to his brother.

Alec exhaled loudly and looked up at Ben "I'll call her later I have other things to sort out" he said in an irritated voice.

"You're funeral" Ben walked away and pulled out his phone to call Sam "at least my girlfriend will speak to me"

"Cause she's a freak" Alec smirked and walked into his bedroom.

He lay down on his bed and began to wonder just what he was doing here when Max and his son were in Seattle and Max really wasn't happy with him.

Just then Ben barged in interrupting his peace "she wouldn't talk to me" he said in disbelief

Alec chuckled "you came with me she's probably just as pissed as Max" he informed "let's go eat"

Ben nodded and together they walked out to find something to eat.

A few hours later they returned home they had intended to go shopping but they passed a bar they used to go to all the time and couldn't help themselves and three hours later they found themselves walking home quite tipsy.

Walking towards his building Alec decided the alcohol was making him see things because he could see Max sitting outside his building and he knew he couldn't be seeing that because Max was in Seattle with Jamie and he couldn't see Jamie anywhere.

But as he got closer and she stood up with a very pissed off look on her face he knew he wasn't seeing things.

"Someone is in trouble" Ben said a sing song voice while he struggled to keep on his feet.

Alec seemed to sober up quite quickly at the sight of a very pissed off Max.

"What are you doing here?" he asked and he managed to get it all out without slurring his words.

Max's hands moved to her hips "Where the hell have you been? I've been calling you all night" she demanded to know.

Alec screwed his face up and started feeling his pockets "don't have my phone on me" he started laughing and Max shook her head "You're drunk" she stated.

"I'm not!" Alec tried to defend himself but couldn't stop laughing Ben started laughing too "We so are!" Ben looked at Max who lifted one eyebrow up and stared at him he swallowed the non existent lump in his throat and shrugged sheepishly "I love you" he grinned at her.

She swatted him on the head and grabbed hold of Alec "Up stairs now!" she pushed them both up the steps.

As she pushed them upstairs Alec turned back around to look at her he started to grin "does this mean I'm forgiven?" he asked hopefully.

Max couldn't help but smile "Maybe" she shook her head and Alec pulled out his door key and tried to get it in the lock. After the 5th time of trying and failing Max pushed him out the way "give it to me" she said not waiting on him handing it over she snatched it from his clumsy hand and opened the door.

Once inside she gave them both orders "You" she said pointing at Ben "you to sleep your going back to Seattle tomorrow" Ben looked at her for a few seconds thinking it over then walked towards the bedroom, she turned to Alec "and you" Alec looked at her expecting her to go mad "you go shower see if it can straighten you out" Alec nodded and pulled his top over his head throwing it to Max.

Max caught it and watched as he started to strip as he made his way towards the bathroom.

While he was in the shower Max took the time to investigate the house, as she had never been in it before and she wanted to see just how Alec lived before he moved to Seattle.

She walked around the sitting room and found a few pictures, some of him and Ben with friends and some with family. It brought a smile to her face also made her feel a little sad that there wasn't a picture of Jamie, she'd have to make that right even although he wouldn't be living here she still wanted one of Jamie here.

She walked around trying to find his bedroom; she already knew where Ben's room and the bathroom were so now she just had to find the master bedroom as the sitting room was connected to the kitchen.

After a few minutes and opening doors that were only storage closets Max found the master bedroom. Opening the door she didn't know what to expect, the house in Seattle Alec had only owned it a week before she moved in with him so he never really got a chance to put his stamp on it but this place just screamed Alec everywhere she looked. And walking into the bedroom all she could smell was him and she liked it.

His bag was still on his bed unpacked she rolled her eyes, he probably planned on just living out the bag although he probably still had clothes here its not like he took everything with him to Seattle he hadn't planned on staying there.

She placed her bag on the chair next to the bed and curiosity got the better of her she started looking around.

Opening his closet she found it full of clothes, mostly jeans and tops because that was the kinda guy he was.

She sat down on the bed and opened his side drawers, she didn't hear the shower stop or the bathroom door open she was too interested in snooping through his stuff.

Opening the drawer she found a packet of condoms, she picked them up she wasn't sure why and looked to see how many was in it. Frowning when she found it open she scanned it to see how many were used it was practically empty.

Alec who had been standing at his door watching her cleared his throat and she dropped the box onto the floor "Alec" she said quickly kicking the box under the bed as she stood up.

He nodded his head in greeting and walked towards her, she became a little nervous she couldn't read him very well right now. He stopped right in front of his eyes running over her body.

Max watched as he lifted his hand and placed it on her hip before slowing running it down her leg as his hand slid down her leg so did he until he was crouched down on the floor, his hand going under the bed and retrieving the box.

Once he had it in hand he stood back up and smirked at her "snooping were you?" he tilted his head to the side.

She scoffed and tried to move away from him but he stopped her. "Not getting away that easily Maxie"

She was really trying not to look at the droplets of water that were currently running down over his perfectly formed chest and abs but it was REALLY hard. She licked her lips and Alec noticed "am I making you hot Max?" he asked his voice barely above a whisper, a sexy whisper.

She tilted her head to the side taking in his body and smiled back at him, he hand resting on his chest as she stood on her tip toes to whisper in his ear "you've made me hot since I was 14" she said into his ear before kissing a sensitive spot on his neck.

She stood back on her feet and pulled off her jacket and she knew he was watching she even heard him groan when she stopped at just her jacket.

He shook the packet in his hand and grinned "fancy helping me finish these off?" he grinned, he was fully expecting a slap but it never came instead she nodded her head and kissed him.

He didn't waste any time in kissing her back. She pulled away and whispered in his ear "god I've missed you"

"Missed you more" he promised "now shut up" with that he kissed her again and proceeded to show her just how much and at the same time use the rest of the packet.

She was on the bed wearing just her underwear with Alec on top of her when he asked "Why are you here?"

Her eyes widened "your asking me that now?" she said in disbelief

Alec shrugged "I'll tell you in the morning" she promised and Alec was more than satisfied with that answer.
