The Story Of Us
By ML Fan
Chapter 12 Teaser
I've had computer issues, but, I thought thatthe least I could do was post this teaser.
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. Babyangel86- I'm sorry that story length seems to be an issue with you and I think that it is impossible to please readers with something like story length and so I just write as I wish without being concerned about length, but, instead being concerned with the quality of the chapter and the story that I am writing. I hope that we can now close this issue once and for all, thank you for your cooperation. Thank you to those who read and reviewed the previous chapters. Logan's and Max's thoughts are in italics. Please read and review.
Logan finally catches up to Max at the door of the restaurant.
"I didn't know that you were a runner, Max."
"I'm not that fast, Logan, I just wanted to get out of the rain."
The first date isn't the best time to talk about my many gifts from Manticore.
"You're right, Max. Let's get inside."
Logan opens the door for Max. "After you, Max."
"Thanks, Logan," said Max in a voice that sounds less assure of herself than usual.
"A table for two," the hostess says.
"Yes, ma'am", says Logan.
"Right this way, sir."
Logan pulls out Max's chair and she sits down.
The server smiles at the young couple.
"Would you like to hear what today's specials are?"
"No, that's alright not today, we're kind of in hurry, can we just order the buffet?"
"Of course you can, ma'am."
This lady is just too friendly and that smile is just so fake.
Max and Logan both head over to the buffet and take some egg rolls along with rice, chicken, beef and pea pods and they both sit down.
Logan is a little surprised to see the amount of food on Max's plate and Max notices.
"I got up late this morning and just had an apple for breakfast and I guess that I've just got good metabolism."
"I was just a little surprised about the amount of food on your plate, that's all. I'm glad that you like to eat and that you're not trying to be a stick thin model and that you want to be yourself."
If he only knew about Manticore...
Nice one Cale, that was real smooth. I think that a hormonal teenage boy could come up with a better topic of conversation than that! Calm down, you're just nervous. God, Cale, when the hell have you been so nervous around a woman before? Where's that ever present Logan Cale charm? Isn't that charm part of what got you accepted into Seattle's circle of socialites in the first place? Not to mention through Yale?
Well, that and Dad's money and business connections, but, Max doesn't know about the money. From the looks of things I don't think that she'll care about the money. At least I hope not...
