One Thing Leads To Another

Chapter 7



An hour later Max came out of the bathroom fully dressed and toweling her hair. "I didn't mean to use all the hot water I..." she trailed off when she looked up to see him meditating in the middle of the room. He was completely still and q. Yo. You couldn't hear his breath he was so quiet. He hadn't opened his eyes to acknowledge her presence yet and it annoyed her just a little bit. He was right, she was already spoiled rotten.



"Alec..." she spoke lowly almost afraid to catch his attention. He looked like if you touched him he would spring loose like a tight spring. For some odd reason she could feel the tension rising in her body. A small smile crept on to her lips and she slowly made her way to kneel in front of him. She rested her hands on her knees and tilted her head and actually looked at his handsome features. His features were strong and smooth...immaculate. When she looked at him she no longer saw a resemblance to Ben...she saw Alec through and through.



She leaned forward to where their lips were almost touching.



"Have a nice shower?" he said quietly.



She gasped then smiled, "Yeah, but I have to admit it would've been better if you'd been with me."



He opened his eyes and looked into her eyes, "You would be late then."



They stared at one another for a moment when he leaned forward and kissed her tenderly. They let there lips linger for a long moment just feeling each other.



"I don't want to go, " she whispered.



"Then don't, " he replied seriously.



She groaned against his lips, "But I have too."



"I know, " he said huskily.



"Don't do that, " she moaned wrapping her arms around his neck.



"Do what?" he breathed kissing her lightly on the lips.



She deepened the kiss and he pulled her into his lap bringing her closer.



She broke the kiss, "I'm sorry, but I gotta go."



"I know, " he leaned forward and gave her a quick kiss then helped her stand up. "I'll see you later okay."



"Yeah, " she turned and grabbed her backpack off the floor as he headed to the bathroom for a shower.



"Sorry about the hot water, " she said.



He turned and grinned at her, "Don't worry about it. I'm not taking a hot shower anyway."



She rolled her eyes and headed out the door.

I can't believe how my life has changed in the last twenty-four hours. Me and Alec...it's like a dream come true. I've wanted this for so long now I don't know how to act or whatever. I'm already getting scared that I'm getting to attached. While I was in the shower I actually ached because he wasn't with me. I hope it's not this bad all the time. Right now I feel incomplete like something's missing. I know what's missing...Alec. I can't wait to tell Cindy everything. She is going to go bezerck.



Max opened the front door the apartment and saw Original Cindy sitting on the couch. "Hey, " she said stepping inside shutting the door. "How did things go with your date last night, " she asked wiggling her hips.



Original Cindy closed her eyes for a brief moment, "Sweet baby let me tell you that girl has got a tongue that would make that guy from kiss look like an amateur."



Max laughed and sat her things by the counter.



"How did things go with you last night?" Original Cindy asked glancing at Max.



Max leaned against the counter and crossed her arms. She was grinning from ear to ear and Original Cindy knew what that meant.



OrigiCindCindy gaped, "Oh my God...did you and Alec..."



If it was possible Max smiled wider and nodded, "Yeah."



Original Cindy jumped off the couch and ran over to hug Max. "Oh boo I know you been wantin this for so long I'm so happy for you."



Max hugged her back. Original Cindy pulled back, "You got to let Oril Cil Cindy in on all the details no matter what he told you to keep secret."



Max laughed and went to sit on the couch with Original Cindy right behind her. They made themselves comfortable for a long conversation.



"I don't know how to start. After you left Crash last night a song came on you know the old one by PMW Dawn 'I'd Die Without You', " Max started.



Original Cindy nodded.



"Well, Alec asked me if I wanted to dance and we did and...during the song...I don't know something...clicked. It was the strangest thing in the world. It felt right to be in his arms and safe. It scared me it felt so right."



Original Cindy smiled.



"After the song was over he said he wanted to talk to me about something, but somewhere more private, " Max said explaining.



"So you went to his place?"ginaginal Cindy clarified before Max could continue.



Max nodded, "We ended up at his place and...he asked me how long we knew each other. At first I didn't know what to think so I just played it off in a joking way and he rushed up to me and took my hands and said he was serious. That's when he caught my attention. The intensity in his eyes was...powerful. Listen to me I sound like I'm on my first date."



They laughed and then fell into silence.



"He told me he loved me, " Max said softly.



Original Cindy was in shock. Alec actually told her he loved her...huh? I would've never guessed it. "What did you do?" she asked quietly.



Max smiled softly, "I told him I loved him."



Original Cindy shook her head and clasped her hands together, "Max I am so happy for you...but there's one thing I gotta know?"



"What?" Max asked curious.



"What's he like in bed?" Original Cindy asked wiggling her eyebrows.



Max busted out laughing and stood from the couch, "I'd love to sit and tell, but I gotta go by Logan's. I noticed on my pager this morning he paged me last night."



"And you was to busy getting it on with Alec to notice, " Original Cindy stated.



"I need to get a louder beeper, " Max said grinning.



Original Cindy tilted her head to the side and gave Max a 'you should no better girl' look. She stood from the couch and made way way to her bedroom. "I'm goin to lay down for a little while aight."



Max nodded, "Okay, I'm just going to get a few things packed and head to Logan's."



"Stayin at hot boys tonight?" Original Cindy asked seductively.



"Maybe, " Max grinned.



The only sound heard was Original Cindy snorting and closing her bedroom door leaving Max chuckling in the living room.
