The Story Of Us
By ML Fan
Chapter 9
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. Max's and Logan's thoughts are in italics. Please read and review.
A date? How in the world did I let myself agree to that? Normally I can just tell a guy no without even batting an eye. Where the hell did that Manticore confidence go? You look at Logan and you can barely form a sentence.
"Hey boo, ya daydreaming about that date with your boy toy tomorrow?"
"He's not my boy toy, Cindy, I don't know much about him really."
"But, you'd like to get to know him more. Don't even try and tell Original Cindy no, because I can see it your eyes and your eyes don't lie."
"Cindy!" Max yells
"And the sun sets in the east, Boo." Original Cindy leaves Max to ponder her thoughts.
Nothing gets by Cindy, but, I can't give her the satisfaction of knowing that she's right.
"What in the fire truck are you doing Max? You've got packages to deliver. Bip, bip."
Max grabs a couple of packages and heads out on another hot run.
After taking her time to deliver the packages Max heads to the apartment that she and Cindy share.
I am never going to live this date down, I can feel it already. And I have no idea what I am going to wear and normally a t-shirt, jeans and clean underwear are just fine for me, but, now I want to be able to look like I can clean up nicely, since he's used to dating rich society women. This isn't like me to want to impress some guy.
Meanwhile in another part of Seattle...
I can't believe that she said yes or that I started babbling. What happened to that Yale confidence? You look at Max and you can barely form a sentence.
"Hey, Logan, are you daydreaming again about Max?" Bling says jokingly.
"No and we're just going out for lunch tomorrow, no big deal."
"Whatever you say, Logan. I really am happy for you, man and don't even try to tell me that Max doesn't make you happy, I can see it in your eyes." Bling leaves Logan to ponder his thoughts.
I am never going to live this date down, I can feel it already. And I have no idea what I am going to wear and normally it doesn't matter that much, because, I could just count on my looks and bravado to get me through. But, now I want to be able to look like I can clean up nicely, since I don't want to be written off like one of those party boy players she referred to before. This isn't like me to go out of my way to try and impress some girl, especially someone that I know so little about.
