He stared at her and gave her his best smirk, planted his arms across his chest and counted. “One one thousand, two one thousand.” He looked down at himself, then back up at her. “Why yes, I can.”
“Smart ass.”
“Alec, actually. You could have named me ass, I mean it is my best feature.”
“Should have gone with my first instinct and named you dick.”
“It is debatable I guess, which is my best side, but really… there’s not a bad side is there?”
Max moaned into her hands and Alec couldn’t help but feel good about it. Honestly, Max was too high strung. She needed to learn to relax and have a little fun. And Alec was bored.
It was a stakeout and the last thing he wanted to be doing tonight but Eyes Only needed Max and Max needed him so there he was. Good little soldier boy bored to tears on a Friday night because he hadn’t learned to say no to the friendly neighborhood pain in the ass.
He sat down on the edge of the couch and watched through the window. It wasn’t that big a deal and he had no idea why Max wanted him there. It was just a peep show really. They were supposed to watch some building and see what happened after hours there.
Max sat beside him, nudging him with some water and he took it gratefully. Not as grateful as if it’d been something a hell of a lot stronger, but hey, who could blame him. “So… this the way you prefer to spend Friday nights?”
Max cuffed him in the back of the head and he laughed. “Shut up Alec.” There was laughter in her voice as she said it though and he knew he’d made her smile. “Look, I appreciate you coming out tonight.”
“Why am I here?”
She looked down and seemed slight embarrassed before she answered. “Maybe I just wanted someone to hang with while I was stuck here?”
“That so?” She shrugged. “So why me? Cause I gotta tell you, I know I’m not your favorite person.”
“It’s not that I don’t like you Alec.” She said and there was something strained in her voice.
He knew they’d had a rocky start and he really couldn’t blame her. Didn’t blame himself either, but he knew she and Logan both still did. He had been a soldier then, doing what he was told without question, just like he’d been programmed and reprogrammed to do.
“I just don’t anways know what to do around you.”
“Speak your mind Maxie. It’s all you gotta do around me.”
