Seattle. Logan's apartment.
LIZ POV
I enter to find Alec sitting in the leather couch, reading a magazine on motorcycles. A grin appears on his lips when he sees me.
" Hey Liz, how are you today?"
" Great, thanks Alec. Your work for Jam Pony is over?"
" Yup and I was asking myself if you wanted to watch TV with me?"
" Of course, but I don't think that Logan and Max want too, they have projects… not including us." I notice sending a look to the bedroom. No way to be here long enough to hear something.
" Yeah, they are like animals."
I punch playfully in the arm.
" Don't make me think about that, specially when this concerned my sister! Men are all pervert!"
" It's like this you love me."
" Mmmh... Let me think about it."
" So it's ok for tonight, I mean now?"
" Yeah, let me take my jacket."
I write a note for Logan and Max, telling I’m going to Alec's apartment to watch movie, but I doubt they find this before a long time.
" I have it."
Few minutes later, we are to his apartment, it's not the first time I’m here. Alec and me are best friends now, I often discuss with him and he does the same. I'm the only person with who he speaks of Rachel. I know it was hard to do this for him, and I’m really proud he trust me enough. But it's not the only reason, we make things together like going to the Crash, watching movies or even driving our motorcycles. Yeah, Maxie and Logan bought me a black Ninja to thank me to heal Max. I didn't wanted be thanked but I couldn't refuse this Beauty. Of course, I always win against Alec, yeah and Maxie too, I'm the Best !
Ever.
We arrive to Alec's apart, it's really big and cozy. Before it was to another transgenic but I don't remember his name.
" So what have you picked?"
" Braveheart and Ocean's eleven."
" With George Cloney? Good choice, he's really handsome." I state, sitting on the couch against him.
" Stop babbling about him, now he's dead or perhaps he still lives but he's a grand father."
" Oh, stop being jealous."
" I'm not."
" You are."
" Ok, maybe a little. The next time, I'll pick movie with the beautiful Julia Roberts, no, she's already in this. Cool."
I moan.
" Oooh, there is Brad Pitt too." I say with a grin.
" Oh, close your mouth, stop drooling and look at the movie."
My grin becomes bigger and i look at the TV, eating pop-corn.
" I really like the movie."
" Yeah, me too."
" You know, we could do this." I finally tell him. " Don't forget we are genetics soldiers with surprising abilities."
" Maybe I want." he answers after a silence. I turn my head to him, surprise.
" What do you want?" I ask curiously.
" Maybe I want to forget. That we are soldiers and just try to have a normal life."
" You are right, all of us want to but it's impossible. Still, a moment will arrive where we will be forced to run or leave, life never will be normal for us."
" I know that, it's just I want to build something. Now I have a normal life, instead of the fact I’m a transgenic soldier, I have a job, friends, I have doubt like everyone, we aren't so different Liz. Why can't we have a life with good times? Where we can have friends and love too like Maxie and Logan. Look Liz, it was hard for them but they arrived to have what they wanted, they are together and they love each other. It's not impossible Liz, why don’t you want to see it?"
I look in his green eyes, I’m feeling confused. True, I have developed a crush on Alec when I first arrived here. Finally we became friends and I kind of pushed this attraction away. Well to be honest I know it’s still here but…
" I'm scared Alec." I confess.
" Why?" he asks me, taking my chin in his hand.
" Because I don’t want to lose another person about I care."
" I will not leave you." He assures me.
" You can't know.” I reply sadly. “ he did the same promise to me but he left me, Alex left me and I was alone. I don’t want to feel that pain again, it's too hard. I will not be able to support it."
" You can’t stop to live because you’re afraid of getting hurt, Liz. I know I can't promise than nothing will ever arrive to me but all I know it's... I'm in love with you Liz. I love you and I think you feel the same about me. Why don't give us a chance?"
" What do you reply to this, Liz?"
I feel water in my eyes, I breath heavily, biting my lips.
" I... As if I can reply something to this." I say.
I feel his hot breath on my cheek and I’m incapable to move, to leave.
It will be a good idea now, to flee. To not fall for this… feeling.
But love is irrational, we can’t control it.
" You have just to say one word." he whispers in my ear.
" ... Yes."
A smile appears on his lips and it's like a movie, when the boy kiss the girl, like when the time is frozen. I feel his lips on mine, soft and gentle. It’s so sweet that I close my eyes, enjoying the moment. I slide my hands on his hair, during he puts his hands on my back. Slowly I open my mouth welcoming his tongue with mine, the kiss becomes heated, full of passion.
Suddenly we break apart, this fact caused by something called oxygen. I’m glad to have faced my fear. I smile to him during he puts a lock of my hair behind my ear. My smile fades.
" Liz, are you ok? Liz?" asks Alec worried.
I breath heavily. Behind him, I see Isabel looking at us, surprised written on her face and her apparition stops.
" Yeah, Alec. I'm ok, I just... zoned during few seconds. I'm ok." I smile, kissing him shortly.
" Good."
" So we are a couple now?" I ask maliciously.
" Of course, I warn you I’m very jealous."
I laugh.
" Good, because me too."
shit! Bad! Bad! Bad! Isabel came here, connecting us. She saw Alec, maybe she even knows where I am. I knew one day, I should confront them but I’m not ready now. I just become happy with Alec, I’m not in mood to see Max come here. I know this will come soon. But for the moment, I want to enjoy be with Alec. I will tell him this tomorrow, it's just I won't that that our first night like couple be failed by aliens.
