A/N I'm sorry I've taken so long to update but I just got a new job 50 miles away from were I live and I'm now trying to move nearer but I have almost finished the next chapter so will post that soon too. However, after that may take alittle time to write again until i get the internet setup. But I will continue the story.

Chapter 3

Max was wear a beautiful red fitted evening dress, Alec couldn't help but notice just how well the dress cling to Max's perfectly form curves. "Whoa stop right their Alec and don't go any further down that way of thinking" he though to himself. This was of course Max that he was looking at and Max would kick his ass if she knew what he was thinking right now.

"Hell I'm surprised she didn't kick it alright when I kiss her at Logan's" something bothered him about that kiss "why did I do that, was it just because Logan was there" Alec didn't think that was the reason but he just couldn't admit that this pretend boyfriend thing was killing him because he was secretly in love with Max.

Max was surprised by Alec "he looks kinda hot in that suit" she thought "well if I felt that way about him, but I don't."

"Well come on let go and get this over shall we" Max said to Alec, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" Alec look at Max and cleared his throat as he fidgeted with something in his pocket "yeah ok ... uhmm Max I ... got these for us ... to make it look more real," then Alec pull out two gold bands.

"Oh, right, yeah" Max was caught a little off guard by this, and wondered why. She was there when Alec decieded they should pretend to be married and married couples wear wedding bands. "Doesn't mean anything right we're just friends trying to steal some important intel for T.C." Max thought to herself as she slipped the ring on her finger.

As they arrived at the party they noticed at the front of the house, people were handing the invitation over to armed guards. Max and Alec could easily take them but the house was crawling with guards.

"Well I'm sure the senator's guests feel very comfortable knowing that every exit and the surrounding perimeter is covered by armed guards" Alec said sarcastically.

"All the more reason for us not to get caught, then Alec" Max said then signed "OK so what well do is go in use the fake invitations then once in you create the distraction..."

"Why do I have to do that." Alec moaned

"So that I can get up the stairs and if need be use my womanly charms to get passed the guards. To steal the info we need." Max replied

"Fine" Alec huffed "but distracted people out?"

"I don't know just make sure the guards need to leave their posts" Max said whispering softly as they were near the entrance.

Max smiled sweetly at the guard and took Alec arm. "We're here for the party"

"Name?" the guard said look at Max and Alec

"Mr and Mrs Alec McDowell" Alec said hand over the invitations. The guard look at them then stepped a side.

"Have a nice time" he said before turning his intention to another guest.

Once inside the ballroom, were the guests were all dancing, drinking and having a good time. Alec took the opportunity to grab Max and begin to dance with her.

"What the hell are you doing!" Max said softly but still full of anger

"Fitting in Max, everyone is dancing and having a nice time. We'll look out of place if we don't do the same." Alec said but wondered if what he said to Max was entirely true. They didn't need to dance, could have just as easy got straight down to business.

"Your just putting off having to create a distraction aren't you?" Max said in a half serious half joke manner.

"Yeah" Alec replied but really, it had more to do with wanting to hold Max closer to him.
