Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You?
Chapter 9: It is hot in here?
~*~
Everybody’s got the fever
that is something you should know
fever isn't such a new scene. fever started long ago
you give me fever, you give me, you give me ...
fever when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
fever in the morning
fever all through the night
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
when he put his arms around her
he said Julie baby you're my flame
he gave her fever
sun lights up the daytime,
moon lights up the night
my eyes light up when you call my name
'cause I know you're gonna treat me right…
bless my soul I love you
take this heart away, take these arms I'll never use
and just believe in what my lips have to say
~ Madonna, "Fever"

They were on the way back to Seattle that night, letting the world fly away like the wind in their hair. Max was smiling despite herself, Manticore wasn’t gone but they had to be hurtin’. She felt the rumble of the motorcycle between her thighs and purred softly in the back of her throat. The taste of freedom was on the wind and Max attributed the steady electric pulse reverberating through her, originating at Alec’s arms around her waist, was due to that.
It was eight in the morning when they pulled over and got another motel room. With careful deliberation Alec set down their mutual pack and slumped onto the bed, "I like riding on motorcycles, don’t get me wrong, but another minute on that thing and I would have gone insane."
"Yeah, tell me about it." Max smiled, and nodded her head in understanding, but agreeing for a different reason. Alec was complaining because his muscles were sore from sitting spooned against her back, she wanted to scream because her muscles were twitching like they had been exposed to a high voltage electrical charge. Shaking out muscles as she made her way to her side of the bed, she secretly thought they had been. Maybe Alec kept a tazer in his pocket.
They both laid down, with the lights out they could still see each other clearly. Damn enhanced vision. They lay watching each other, each head on its own pillow but close enough that Max felt the occasional brush of exhaled air across her cheek. Then she smiled, "you stay on your side of the bed and so will I."
"So if I wander over to your side, you’ll come over to mine?" He smirked and raised his eyebrows suggestively.
"Only to kick your ass."
"So un-lady like," he tsked softly under his breath.
"Go to sleep." She laughed before turning over on her side, facing away from him.
She woke to her body being shaken softly, back and forth, back and forth. She pried open one eye to find herself facing away from whoever was shaking her. Apparently they saw her wake because they stopped. She turned over to see Alec standing there looking like and over-stimulated cat and Max imagined that if he had a tail it would be lashing just then. He was biting his lip bouncing on the balls of his feet ever so slightly.
"Hi." He said softly looking nervous. "I was gonna go get something to eat and I was wondering if, you know, you need anything?" He was fidgeting with is hands stuffed deep in his pockets, "cause I can get you something if you want." He was smiling at her now knowing that he probably looked very strange. "Breakfast in bed, how’s that sound?"
"Wonderful." She watched him sway from foot to foot. "What did you do wrong?"
"Nothing! I just thought…you deserve some pampering," tapping a foot and shrugging his shoulders, he watched her smile grow into a grin. "You’ve earned it, but if you don’t want me to, I won’t."
"No! By all means pamper away." She sat up with a laugh as he straightened his back still not stopping his fidgeting. "I could go for some pancakes and some sausage."
"I can do that. Anything else?"
"Milk?"
"Milk and pancakes? Strange combination, but milk and pancakes it is." He turned on his heel and strode out the door leaving Max shaking her head in bewilderment.
When he came back it was with a box perfectly balanced on one hand. He put the box down next to the bed and handed Max a styrophone box and sat down next to her on the bed and turned to her with a brown bottle holding four large daisies shinning a brilliant yellow. "I found some flowers," he explained, his face lighting up at Max’s exclaim of surprise.
"Who are you, and where did you stash Alec?" She looked at him with wide disbelieving eyes.
"Hey, I’m trying to be nice, if you keep makin’ fun of me for it, I’ll stop." He made to get up and laughed as Max grabbed his arm and tugged him back down.
"I like," she smiled suddenly shy as his dark green eyes bored into her caramel gaze. "I’m just not used to this kind of treatment."
"More’s the pity." He brushed a black hair out of her eyes gently. Shaking himself he stood up, "Eat and then we’ll head out."
"Ok." Still shaking her head she started eating, and watching Alec, out of the corner of her eye, as he sat on the floor to eat his own meal.

They were back at Logan’s listening to him argue with Jen when they both started to get alittle antsy. Alec pulled Max’s hair and she stuck her tongue out at him. Then he was rocking back and forth on the couch making sure he hit her everytime. "Is it hot in here?’ She asked Logan quickly.
"Yeah, you’d think with all your money you’d be able use the air conditioning or something," Alec quipped.
Jen’s eyes widened as she looked at them, and Logan didn’t notice her reaction when he gave Max a confused look, "Air conditioning in winter?"
"Hey, when it’s hot it’s hot," Max said defensively. Then sighing she watched Logan turn back to the computer screen and picked at her pants before deciding she needed a distraction. "So…Logan did you miss me?" Max called when he and Jen had both stopped to draw breath.
He looked at her his face straight something flickering in his eyes, and then it was gone and he smiled, "Yeah, I missed you."
"Jen, did you miss me?" Alec asked trying to make his face as sincere as possible, which wasn’t very.
Giving him one of her biggest grins, "no." At his wounded expression she stuck her tongue out at him and crossed her eyes.
He turned to Max his eyes wide and hurt, "she didn’t miss me." He made a soft sniffing noise as she patted him on the shoulder.
"Well, you didn’t get her flowers, like you did me." She said without thinking and then she slanted a look at Logan trying to see if he noticed the words.
The look on his face said that he had, another flicker in his eyes made her want to flinch.
Alec was going on, oblivious to the new tension or determined to ignore it, "that must be it." He turned to Jen, sending her a desperate look. "Would you have missed me if I had?"
"Of course, but I would have missed you more if you’d gotten me jewelry."
"I should have thought of that." He swallowed as he watched Max watch Logan who was now glaring at him. He was fidgeting again, tapping his heels against the carpet and beating a rhythm out on his knee, unconsciously letting his thigh rest against Max’s. She didn’t notice, having gotten used to having him close, but Logan did.
Jen did too. She bit her lip and turned her green eyes on Logan and touched his shoulder lightly, "Maybe we should finish this up later, now that we have it it’s not going to hurt to wait a day. "
He smiled at her slightly and nodded his head, still watching Max and Alec sitting next to each other, not being able to hold still. Looking like he was putting together something in his head he walked over to his desk and called to Max and Alec, "I’m going to be working on this for most of the night so you can go ahead and go if you want."
"All right!" Alec exclaimed jumping to his feet with his arms in the air in a cheer. "You gonna come?" he asked Jen with an inviting smile.
"Yeah," she turned to Logan, "I’ll come by tomorrow and help with anything."
"I’d appreciate that."
Jen and Alec made to leave and once they were at the door they turned to raise eyebrows in questioning, she put up one finger a motioned for them to wait for her in the hall. Shrugging his shoulders Alec opened the door and dragged Jen outside by her shirtsleeve.
Max stood quietly biting her lip as she watched Logan at the computer, "something wrong?" He asked suddenly.
"No, I just wanted to know how you were. Seeing as how we don’t really get much of a chance to talk, these days."
"I’m doing good," he turned around to look at her with soft eyes. "I was worried sick about you while you were gone."
"Yeah, well, I was worried sick about me too." She laughed looking down at her hands.
"So he got you flowers, huh?" She heard the catch in his voice and forced a smile at him.
"Yeah, he was trying to apologize, I’m pretty sure."
"Apologize?" His eyebrows pulled together to furrow his brow as he watched her wring her tap her foot nervously.
"It’s kind of funny, actually. I don’t actually think he was the one who needed to apologize since I was the one that threw him into the lake." Logan’s eyes widened and his whole body seemed to relax. She held up a hand in exasperation, "technically I didn’t throw him in, though, but that’s his story and he plans on stickin’ to it. I swear he told me to hit him." She was smiling at him with a sparkle in her eyes when he gave a bark of laughter.
She heard the door open behind her and a muffled "Uh oh" that sounded like Jen and when she turned around Asha was standing in the doorway holding a box of take out food and shouldering a backpack. "Asha," Logan called, "you’re early."
"Sorry, I was bored so I thought I’d go ahead and come over," she looked at Max with wide eyes and then back at him. "I can come back later if you want?"
"No," Max answered for him, "I was just about to head out anyway." She smiled tightly at Logan before brushing past her and out the door to where Jen and Alec were waiting anxiously. Alec absently put a hand on the small of her back, Jen watched as she leaned into his touch with a wicked grin.
It wasn’t until they were sitting in crash, with Alec and Sketchy off getting another round of beer and Original Cindy playing the field that Jen decided to open her meddling little mouth, "so warm snugglies or hot monkey sex?"
Max mouth dropped open as she looked at her friend, it flapped in the air briefly as she made small noises. "Wh-what?" Her voice had somehow become high pitched.
"With Alec, warm snugglies or hot monkey sex? I thought I was pretty straight forward."
"Me and Alec are not…even…I mean…there was no monkey sex!" She didn’t seem to be able to wrap her mind around any words as she coughed in surprise. And suddenly Alec was there patting her on the back and trying to see her face, his own screwed up with worry.
"So warm snugglies, huh?"
He looked at Jen baffled, "what did you do to her?"
"I just asked a question." She pouted for a full five seconds before taking the pitcher out of Sketchy’s hands and pouring herself and Max some. Max just shook her head and got up to go to the bathroom, her face still flushed. Jen’s brows pulled together as she realized that Max had seemed somewhat flushed all night. Suddenly she turned on Alec, who was watching Max walk off. "You seem somewhat solicitous today, over Max, why is that?" She did her best I’m-asking-an-innocent-question face as she stared intently into the dark green of Alec’s eyes.
He looked confused for a long time as though he didn’t know why and it had just occurred to him to wonder. "Well," she raised one eyebrow as she looked at him, shooing Sketchy off to find Original Cindy, "we…I’m…there was this…we fought and I feel bad." He finally got out in a rush his eyes looking triumphant.
"And you’ve never fought with her before?" The look of disbelief would have been priceless except Alec was bristling. Wanting to know why it was such a big deal. Seeing the look on his face she threw her hands up and backed off laughing, her eyes glinting with the mischief.
Original Cindy was coming back over dragging Sketchy by his collar apparently not pleased, "don’t you know to keep away when Original Cindy is chasin’ down a hot lickety boo?" she was asking pursing her lips.
"I didn’t think I would cramp your style that much!" He was mumbling under his breath, sending a grin to Jen behind her back.
"Problems, O.C?" Alec asked happy for something else to talk about.
"Don’t send him looking for Original Cindy when you don’t want him, he totally ruined my game with some hot leggy blonde." She smacked Sketchy upside the head for emphasis.
"Well, where should I send him?" Jen asked smiling as he rubbed at his head.
"Original Cindy don’t care, just not to her." She turned to see a very flushed Max come strutting out of the bathroom. "Hey, boo."
"O.C," Max smiled fanning herself off. "Get any honeys?"
"No. Thanks to this fool." She slapped at Sketchy’s arm.
"I’m sorry!"
"You look a little over heated, Max." Jen said with raised eyebrows, "you feelin’ ok?"
"Yeah, just really hot."
Alec was watching her now, his head cocked as his eyes narrowed slightly. Max couldn’t stop moving once she had sat down next to him, accidentally brushing against his arm. He froze, still watching her intently. Max felt his gaze and turned to him; suddenly she was falling into a green abyss wondering which way was up. Jen watched this as her mouth formed an ‘o’ of surprise.
"Max," Sketchy tapped her on the shoulder, "do you think you could loan me a couple bucks?"
"Don’t have any to spare." She answered with a frown. Alec was glaring at Sketchy his jaw having gone tight.
"Sketch," Jen called suddenly. Grabbing Alec’s atten lon long enough for his ire to cool, leaving him wondering what had gotten him so angry suddenly.
"Yeah?" Sketch raised an eyebrow at Jen, a smirk firmly in place. He was trying opy opy Alec’s confident smirk and was failing miserably.
"Come here." When he did she grabbed his collar and whispered into his ear, "don’t talk to Max tonight."
"Why not?" he didn’t take the hint about talking quietly so she smacked the back of his head. "You people really need to stop doing that."
"Because Alec will tear your arms out."
"What? Alec wouldn’t do that, he’s my friend."
She looked Sketchy straight in the eye completely serious. "Not tonight he isn’t." He looked at her for a long moment before slanting a look at Alec, who was once again staring at Max. Original Cindy was trying to talk to them and hadn’t caught on yet that they weren’t paying any attention. Sketchy nodded his head silently his mouth having dropped open when he saw the look in Alec’s eyes; something predatory had sparked there, and Max seemed to be enjoying it.
"Maybe I should go home."
"Good idea. Hey Alec," Jen called smiling sweetly, "get us another pitcher?"
"Sure thing," his voice was a deep rumble. He got up trailing a hand along Max’s arm as she leaned into the touch.
Max watched him through lowered eyelashes with a smile and licking her lips. She was tapping her foot impatiently as Jen watched her with rapt curiosity. Original Cindy was looking at her with narrowed eyes, "You ok?"
Max looked at her shrugging her shoulder with a twitch, "I feel fine." And just then a skinny blonde came up to her, he smiled flirtatiously and her gaze heated.
"Hi, I’m Richard," he tried to make his voice sensual as he looked down at her, "What’s your name."
"Max." She let the word hiss out of her teeth as she smiled just as flirtatiously. Jen was starting to get worried, looking from Max back to Richard, not sure if it was a good idea to interfere. Original Cindy had no qualms.
"Back, boy!"
"I’m talking to her, not you." He shot at her.
"It’s fine, OC, its not like he’s a threat or nothin’." She smiled again, reaching out to touch his collar when he was grabbed from behind, turned and slammed into the table.
Alec was standing over him his arm pressed against his throat. "Mine," he growled down at Richard, a true animalistic growl. That reminded any who heard of times long past when men lived in grass huts and feared the jungle cat waiting by the river.
"Alec!" Jen called reaching out to touch his arm and then drawing back very worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle him. Then she looked at the smng Mng Max, who seemed to relish the territorial dispute, and got an idea. "Alec, Max is over there all lonely. You get picked up by a sector cop and you won’t be able to keep her company." She said quickly and watched as his jaw clenched and then released, he threw Richard away from the table before sliding into the seat next to Max, slipping a possessive arm around her waist.
"Mine," he growled again into Max’s ear as she purred rubbing her shoulder against his chest.
"Cindy," Jen whispered.
"Yeah, boo?" Cindy was watching the two transgenics with a slack jaw and wide eyes.
"I think we have a problem."
"Ya ‘think’ we have a problem? Let Original Cindy lay it down for you, she know we have a problem."
"We gotta get them out of here," Jen bit her lip watching as Max and Alec talked in hushed whispers. "You get Alec, I’ll get Max?"
"Why do you get my homegirl?"
"Cause I don’t know if Alec will see you as a threat at this point."
"Good point." They walked over to their friends with smiles meant to convey just how much they weren’t a threat. "Alec, don’t you think it’s time to leave?"
"Yeah, Max, how about we get you home?" Jen was tugging at her arm, and gave a sigh of relief when Max did so willingly.
"Can I get a ride home with Max?" Alec asked quietly.
Jen shot Cindy a look as she led Max outside. "How about we get you home so you can take a nice cold shower first, Suga’ boo?" As Alec nodded his head she put a hand on his back and guided him the way that Jen had gone with Max.
Max was sitting on her bike waiting for Jen to revv up her car and follow her back to her place, Jen was mumbling to herself, "I don’t want anything to happen you’re gonna regret." She waved at Cindy and Alec following Max through the streets to her house.
Alec suddenly shook himself from head to toe and turned to Cindy like it was the first time he’d seen her all night. "I’m just gonna go home now," she nodded her head at him and let him walk towards his apartment without her tagging along behind. She had turned to walk back to her own apartment so she didn’t see when he turned took a different route, in the wrong direction.
Max was dozing, drifting in and out of sleep; her eyes having trouble staying open as she lay sweating on her bed. Then she felt gentle fingers stroke her hair and she flipped over onto her back to stare up at Alec who was gazing at her; hunger evident in his gaze. He let his fingers trace her jaw; slowly feeling her skin as he leaned over her.
"Alec," she whispered a grin splitting her face.
"Max," he let the name drop off his lips like a caress as they hovered over the hollow of her throat. His tongue darted out as his arms slid up her arms, then he moved his mouth up to her ear. "You should wake up," he whispered calmly.
She sat up straight in bed, her eyes wide as she finally realized what was happening to her, she groaned dropping her face into her pillow. "I’m in heat again." That’s when she heard the insistent tapping on her window.
