The Story Of Us
By ML Fan
Chapter 15
Thanks to HarbingerX for betaing my fic. Logan's thoughts are in Italics.
A few days after Max and Logan's first date.
She still hasn't called.
Bling notices the look on Logan's face. "Why the sad face my friend?"
"I don't want to talk about it, Bling."
"You must really like her huh?"
Bling's question is met with silence.
"Since when have you been afraid to make the first move with woman? Or is it just this woman?"
Bling's questions are again met with silence.
"You'll never know what you might have with her if you don't at least give her a chance, let her have a second date."
Bling's cell phone goes off. "I've got to take this call, Logan, just think about it."
Later That Same Day...
Logan sees the same guy with blonde hair and glasses that he did before and like Max said he seemed to want his workers to do just that, work.
"Is Max around?" Normal looks at him and barely acknowledges his presence before he yells "Max, you have a visitor, make it quick."
Max is pleasantly surprised by who she sees, but, she gives Logan no noticeable indication of it by her physical appearance.
Max leaves Cindy and quickly picks up a box that's waiting for delivery.
Max greets Logan in a voice that's much quieter than usual.
"What are you doing here? I'm sure that you've got better things to do than to stand here and watch me look like I'm working."
"You didn't call me, but, I wanted to see you."
"Forgive me if you're not the first thing on my mind."
"You seemed like you had fun when we went out, but, you also seemed ready to push me away when I got too close. Give me a chance, Max."
"Why are you any different than any other playboy? You could've had any girl at Crash that night. I mean look at you, you're clean cut, you dress well..."
"Max. Just give me a chance."
"We are from two different worlds, you don't have to work, I have to work just to scrape by."
"You wouldn't be talking to me right now, if you didn't care. You would've blown me off or at least I think so. Have dinner with me tomorrow, I won't bite."
"Alright, only if you stop dropping by like this, I'm surprised that Normal hasn't blown a gasket yet."
