--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max came to a stop on her motorcycle in front of Joshua's and parked her bike next to the porch. She walked up the steps to the door and knocked once then walked on in like she always did. "Joshua, " she called out as she closed the door behind her. She walked into the living room and found Joshua sitting in fathers chair reading a book that he'd probably read a hundred times or more. "Hey big fella, " Max smiled and came to stand in front of him.
Joshua smiled, "Hey little fella...reading, fathers books. Love fathers books." He showed her the book and went back to reading it.
She smiled, "Have you..." she stopped when she heard the piano down in the basement start to play a soothing tune. Max just listened for a moment...mesmerized. She knew it was Alec. The first time she heard him play she hadn't really paid attention to it because she was so irritated and it sort of caught her off guard that he could play in the first place. The song he played had sort of a eerie romantic flow almost like something you'd hear off of a nineties vampire flict wat was good nonetheless she liked it.
"Alec...been playing for a couple of hours. Plays good Jos Joshua said interrupting Max and her train of thought.
She smiled softly, "Yeah...he does doesn't he." She stood for another moment listening, "I'll be back okay." She turned and made her way towards the basement. Silently, she made her way down the stairs to find Alec sitting at the piano playing a soft tune. There was no music in front of him as he pl it it was all in his head. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs and stared as he continued to play.
Alec knew Max was standing behind him at the bottom of the steps and just sat there for a few moments wondering if she was going to let her presence be known. When he figured she wouldn't say anything till he said it was okay he broke the silence. "Hey Max, " he said softly not turning to look at.
"Hey, " she said equally soft. She took the last step off the stairs and made her way over to Alec at the piano. "Mind some company?" she asked.
"Please, " he scooted patting the stool he sat on which was barely big enough for him.
She took his invitation figuring an opportunity like this didn't come very often. She got as comfortable as she could and looked at the keys of the piano. She'd never really thought about one before. She didn't stay at Manticore long enough to figure out what her 'specialty' was.
"I liked what you were playing...what was it?" she asked softly tapping a few keys.
He watched as her hands moved over the keys slowly. She started to play what he had been playing earlier. For the first time just hearing it and not having lessons she was doing very well. When she got stuck on a part he reached out and placed his hands over hers. "Like this, " he said moving her hands with his.
She let him take her hands and lead them to where they needed to go.
"Why don't you teach me, " she said turning to look at him her nose almost touching his cheek.
He didn't turn toward her or they would've been kissing. Their hands were still touching and he guided hands across the keys.
"Alright, " he said shifting his position on the stool and motioned for her to sit in front of him on the stool. She shifted to sit in front of him and placed her hands on her lap. He reached down and took her hands and placed them in strategic places on the piano. "Key to playing a piano...is rhythm, " he said softly into her ear as he guided her hands over what keys played the note needing to be played. After a few notes he let her hands go letting them rest on his knees.
She played the notes he showed her over and over trying to get a feel of them. "Like this?" she asked trying to go the next step.
"Yeah, just like that, " he said with a little bit of joy in his voice.
She continued to add to the song till she finally could play it all. As she started from the beginning Alec closed his eyes and listened to the soft music echo throughout the basement. It wasn't the song Rachel played often, but he could never hear or look at piano again without thinking about her. But Max somehow helped with the pain of it. It surprised him that she still came around him after he'd treated her. Telling her he didn't want her understanding he wanted her absence. At the time it's what he wanted, but now he was thankful she didn't take him seriously. He had so much to thank her for and didn't know where to begin. He only hoped that he could be there for her when she needed it.
She neared the end of the song and slowed her pace till she was done. "How was that?" she asked glancing back at him.
"Good, you catch on quick, " he said reaching up to close the keys.
They sat in silence for a long time just...sitting. No speaking...no moving...no anything.
"Thank you, " Alec said so quietly she almost didn't hear him.
She turned between his legs and stared him in the eye, "For what?"
Their mouths were so close they were breathing each other's air.
"For everything...I wouldn't be who I am without you. I wouldn't have the life I have without you. My life wouldn't have meaning...without you, " he said pushing a strand of her hair out of her face.
"Alec..." she couldn't believe what he was saying. "I..." she was cut off when he slowly leaned forward and kissed her. The kiss was slow, gentle and careful. It surprised Alec that she didn't stop him as soon as he placed his lips upon hers, but she didn't struggle against him. They continued to kiss one another till Max pulled away and looked into his eyes.
"Why did you do that?" she asked in a small voice not able to take her eyes off his.
"I wanted too, " he said in a dry throaty tone looking back down at her lips.
"We shouldn't be doing this, " she said trying to be rational. She tried to stand but Alec brought her back down to sit on his lap. She gasped when she felt him through their clothes. He was hard...very hard. She looked into his eyes and saw something that frightened her. He looked lost...alone.
"Do you feel that?" he asked only millimeters from her lips again.
She shook her head, "Alec I, we...we shouldn't..."
"Why?" he whispered against her.
She couldn't come up with one reason off the top of her head. She wanted to kiss him. She wanted him to kiss her. So what was the problem? This was where she wanted to be.
He grabbed both sides of her face and made her look at him, "I'm not asking you for anything but one night Max. Nothing more nothing less."
She looked into his eyes, "I have to go." She pushed herself away from him and made a beeline out of the basement up the stairs and away from Joshua's house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Max sat in her and Original Cindy's apartment on the couch looking out the window...thinking. It'd been three hours since she'd ran from Joshua's. His request was still fresh in her mind. He wanted one night with her, no strings no nothing attached just two lonely people not being lonely for one night. She couldn't believe she was tempted to take his offer. It felt so right to be in his arms. It felt so right to be kissed by him and to kiss him. She shouldn't have pint up feelings for Alec she was in love with Logan right?
The door to the apartment opened and Original Cindy stepped through.
"Hey, " Max said smiling lightly.
Original Cindy kicked the door shut, "Hey boo, what's up?"
Max shrugged, "As usual my life couldn't get more complicated."
"What's up?" Original Cindy said coming to sit across from Max on the couch.
Max made herself more comfortable and fiddled with the him of the blanket she had covered her legs with. She looked at Original Cindy and sighed, "It's Alec."
Original Cindy rolled her eyes, "Oh Lord, what'd he do now?"
Max visibly blushed, "He asked me something earlier that..." she trailed off not able to complete the sentence. She couldn't believe she was talking to Original Cindy about it. She knew exactly what Original Cindy would tell her. Get her ass up and head over to Alec's and get some lovin' that she deserved it.
"What did he ask?" Original Cindy asked curiously.
Max started to say but stopped.
"He offered too...he asked to have one night with me, " Max said quietly.
"Are you serious?" Original Cindy asked baffled.
Max nodded.
"Shit, " Original Cindy said in disbelief. "You gotta give'em one thing. When he sees somethin he wants he goes after it. He don't beat around the bush."
"He's so alone Cindy I...I don't know what to do, " Max said defeated.
"You lonely too you know, " Original Cindy said softly.
Max just looked at heom tom the corner of her eye.
Original Cindy sighed and got more comfortable, "Well, let Original Cindy give you some advice. I know the only reason you ain't over at hot boys right now is cause you wanna justify yourself cause of Logan. You feel like if you andc gec get it on you betrayin Logan. I know you love Logan I do. But, things ain't exactly goody goody between you guys. You puttin your life on hold for Logan and a great opportunity might be passin you by. All Original Cindy is sayin is...don't look a gift horse in the mouth. It's about time you start doin what you want to do."
Max let her words sink in. "I love Logan Cindy I...I just don't think things are going to work out for us. Every time we turn around something is keeping us apart and I used to think that it was a test to see how far we'd go to stay together but...I mean, what if Logan really is great but...Alec...is something greater?" Max said trying to reason with the situation.
"You never gonna know till you find out, " Original Cindy said.
Max nodded.
