The Story Of Us
By ML Fan
Chapter 6
This is a Season 1 AU where some things will change, while others stay the same. I own nothing and make no profit from this story. This is not a sequel to "I'd Die Without You." A special thanks goes out to my beta, HarbingerX. Thank you to those who read and reviewed the previous chapters. As for those who have written wanting longer chapters, I believe that the idea with any story is to get and keep a reader interested and not to rush the story and try to avoid doing too much in a chapter. Logan's thoughts are in italics.
Babyangel86, vague critiques do not help me as a writer, because if you aren't specific as to what you didn't like as much as other aspects of the story, I cannot do much to address any suggestions that you might have. Victoria-I hadn't thought of doing an NC-17 fic, I'll change the rating of this story or even some chapters if the need arises This chapter is dedicated to Aerie and UncleGordo whose previous thoughts and encouragement have helped me in the writing of this fanfic. Please read and review.
"Logan? You live here?"
"Yeah, I've lived here for awhile now, moved here right before the pulse hit North America. So you're a bike messenger?"
"A girl's gotta make a living you know."
"Thank God" says Logan softly.
"I've got a package here for you." Max hands him a pen and he signs for the package.
"I wonder who it's from; I wasn't expecting anything from anyone now."
"Everyone gets a surprise sometimes good or bad, that's life. Anyway, I've gotta blaze, I don't want my boss to fire my ass."
"Max...wait."
"Yeah?" Max turns to face him.
"I went back to Crash to look for you and I was so sure it was you that I saw, but, she blew me off."
"Why in the hell would you do that? Is this about that beer incident 'cause if it is I'll give you money for a pitcher, or is it about sex? You obviously want something from me."
"Who says that I want something superficial from you? I don't care about the beer and I've had shallow and meaningless sex before, I don't want that anymore."
"Well, why did you come look for me?"
"Because, you have the singularly most beautiful face that I've ever seen."
Oh, God, Cale, why did you just say that? It sounds like some terrible pickup line even though I meant every word of it.
"Is that supposed to some pickup line 'cause it sounds like some b.s. line that you've probably tried on every girl that you've dated. I'm not some dumb blonde society girl who will fall all over you and be a puppy dog because you decide to turn on the charm because you want something."
"No, I meant every word of it."
"Prove it, I'm sick and tired of party boy players and their bullshit pickup lines."
"And how do you know anything about the women I've dated?"
"Look at this penthouse and your clothes, they have privileged playboy written all over it I knew it."
Logan sighs. "You're also the first woman who didn't know anything about me and you didn't want anything from me. "
Max's pager goes off, "Look, I've gotta go work for a living and if you actually meant a word of this like I said prove it, gotta blaze."
Max quickly shuts the penthouse door behind her and Logan is left to ponder her words. I can't believe that I found her, that was like finding that beautiful diamond beneath the rough and I know that I must have gotten under her skin, if only just a little, otherwise she would've just left and blew me off once again, I wonder why she wouldn't admit who she really was at Crash, because she's not shy or timid to say the least.
