Pairing: M/L
Rating: Adult
Summary: This story takes place in Season 1. Max and Liz are deeply in love, the question is can their love survive the relentless advances of an alien who's intentions are to steal Max's heart or will Liz stand and fight for the only love she has ever known…her soulmate…her Max.
Author's Note: The idea for this story came from the incredibly talented behrbabe who has created the most beautiful banners for me. This story is dedicated to you behrbabe you made my stories come alive with your amazing gift! I hope you realize just how incredibly grateful I am. Your ideas were amazing I just hope I did them justice.
This story is taken place directly after the episode Blind date. Everything that happened up to that point is true to the show. I am bringing Tess in early and switching some of the episodes around just so no one is confused. Oh and I will be using some lines from Blind Date and Sexual Healing.
Again thank you behrbabe I really hope you like this. I owe you so much more.

Chapter 1.
Let's just keep running...
you and me…
Away from everyone …
I see everything so clearly now…
We'll go someplace where no one knows us…
As long as we're together nothing else matters…
"Do you think she realizes that she's been cleaning the same spot on the counter for the past fifteen minutes?"
"Alex I don't think Liz realizes that there is a counter."
Maria waved her hands in front of Liz's face resulting in no response.
"Watch this"
Alex rested his hands underneath his chin and grinned widely clearly entertained by Liz's dreamy condition and Maria's need to torture her.
Taking one glowing green alien swizzle stick after another she carefully placed it in Liz's hair as she raised her finger to her lips silencing Alex from his near hysterical state.
Liz's eyes glazed over as she mindlessly continued moving the dishtowel in mechanical circles on the spotless countertop.
It's all just magic when I think about you…
And when I'm not with you I go crazy…
When you're here….
"Tada!"
Maria circled her hands over Liz's head triumphantly as Alex spit out his mouth full of orange soda applauding her creation.
You're my dream girl Liz
She had successfully placed five alien sticks behind Liz's headband making a ridiculous crown on her head.
"See nothing! She is gone. Lost in the land of our boy Max. Tell me Alex what am I going to do with her"
"Please explain… is this about last night?"
Suddenly Maria looked up to see Max coming through the door.
"Oh crap!"
Within a second he was standing in front of Liz biting his upper lip desperately trying not to laugh at her.
Instantly Liz snapped out of her memory of last night as she gazed into his warm golden eyes.
She couldn't help hear the increasingly loud laughter coming from the front and was suddenly worried.
"Ok…why do the two of them look so guilty?"
Max smiled softly and leaned close to her face causing Liz to hold her breath thinking he was going to kiss her…kiss like her had done the night before.
Coming with in an inch of her face she closed her eyes and held her breath as she felt him pull each decorative alien stick from her hair.
Liz opened her eyes and pulled back holding them up in the air completely confused.
"New look Liz?"
"Yeah looks like I got a little make over courtesy of Alex and Maria"
"It was all Maria! I had nothing to do with it!"
Alex cried out holding Maria securely in a headlock.
"Snitch!"
Max laughed as Maria and Alex continued to wrestle through the door out onto the sidewalk.
As an awkward silence fell Max and Liz became very aware that they were alone.
Max nervously scratched behind his ear as he searched for the words that he had rehearsed the entire night but somehow had completely escaped him.
"So"
Liz could sense his struggle and took a deep breath letting him off the hook.
"Max it's fine I'm mean I realize you were drunk and people say stupid things when they drink it's really no big deal so you don't have to feel uncomfortable -
Max leaned over the counter and cradled her face in his hands cutting her off from her long rambling sentence.
Liz gasped as his lips brushed against her mouth with each raspy soft word.
"That's just it Liz. I did mean what I said."
"Oh"
Slowly Max closed his eyes and parted her lips for a gentle long passionate kiss.
As his hands grasped her dark raven locks her hair band fell to the floor.
Leaning her back Max deepened the kiss gently caressing his tongue with hers. His hands clenched her hair tighly as he swallowed her quiet moans.
Distracted by their friends loud playful wrestling match they broke their kiss and rested their foreheads together staring intensely into each others eyes.
"Wow"
Breathlessly they gazed at each other's lips desperately wanting more.
"Wow"
Suddenly a reflection caught Liz's eye and they both turned to look out the front door as Maria sarcastically explained what the meaning of the word closed really meant.
Max was suddenly in a trance as he looked over at the pixie like blonde teenager.
Within a half a second his hands were buried once again in Liz's hair as he moved in for another kiss.
Before completely loosing herself in Max she couldn't help but over hear Alex as he spoke to the new arrival to Roswell.
"Hello Tess I'm Alex it's nice to meet you"

Chapter 2.
Roswell High
Monday morning
Suspicions
Max stood at his locker pulling his books out for his morning classes. His was constantly being inundated by thoughts of Liz. Her intoxicating scent that permeated through every part of his body still stuck in his mind as he absentmindly reached for his backpack. He never thought the mixture of strawberries and vanilla could evoke such urges …urges the he was beginning to lose control over.
Just then he felt someone closing in on him. He started to breath heavy while shivers ran through him. He marveled at how just seeing her could make him feel this way...so alive so excited so aroused.
Without his knowledge his eyes started to grow brighter. His usual dark amber was now a shimmering honey color. A huge grin over took his handsome but still boyish face as he threw his backpack over his shoulder and turned to pull her in close.
"I thought I die if I didn't see you soon -
His face dropped and his eyes widened as he quickly pulled his hands from around Tess's waist. He quickly backed up against the lockers feeling the burning redness of his ears.
A sly smirk slowly crept across her face as she moved in closer. Tess tilted her head to the side and locked eyes with him.
A soft whisper blew across his ear as she tilted up on her toes to speak to him.
"It's nice to see you too Max"
He was trapped in her gaze unable to look away as she came back down onto her feet.
Her voice was slow and velvety. His eyes fell immediately to the bright red lipstick that covered her full lips.
"It is Max right? I met your sister Isabel and she told me what a gentleman you are. I was thinking you could help me find some of my classes. You know… since I'm new here."
Feelings swirled through Max like a tornado stirring up a mixture of overwhelming emotions - confusion, fear, nervousness, and the most disturbing and powerful one… lust.
Max was speechless as Tess continued her assault on his innocent mind. She completely ignored the high traffic of kids that were now flooding the hallway.
"What the hell is that all about?"
"What is what all about, once again your failure to elaborate is leaving me in the dark Maria"
Maria took Alex's head and pointed it in the direction of Max and Tess.
"Well looks like the latest addition to Roswell High is getting herself acquainted with the locals"
"Not locals Alex one local and I don't like it. There's something about her that just screams I'm a backstabbing whore hide your boyfriends.
"Yeah she definitely doesn't have that shy meek quality that comes with being the new kid in town does she."
"Hey guys what are you looking at?"
Maria and Alex looked quickly at each other and put their arms around Liz diverting her attention leading her in the opposite direction down the crowed hall.
At that moment Max broke her hypnotic stare and spotted Liz being dragged away by Alex and Maria.
Understanding quickly what had happened Max gave Tess a quick polite smile.
"S-Sorry I thought you were someone else. Hey look Isabel's right there, I 'm sure can help you find your way. I need to talk to my girlfriend. It was nice meeting you…Tess."
Max took off running after Liz as his mind tried to comprehend what had just happened.
He was relieved that he had mentioned that he had a girlfriend and took a deep breath hoping that would end any more uncomfortable encounters with this new girl. The strong unexplained feeling that he knew her somehow bothered him … more than he wanted to admit to himself.
Pushing all this aside Max came up behind Liz and gently pulled her hair aside and lower his beautiful face to her graceful neck.
A huge bright smile spread across Liz when she heard Max's unmistakable low sweet tone in her ear.
"Hi Liz"
Liz turned quickly around and moved to his side as they continued to class together.
"Hi!"
Alex and Maria broke off from them suddenly feeling like they were interrupting a very personal moment.
Max felt a strong sense of relief as she looked at him with her sweet loving captivating eyes.
In an instant he was calm and happy again. The bizarre moments that had invaded him before were a distant memory as Liz slipped her small hand inside his.
He was still astounded that the fantasy that was a part of his every day sleeping and waking life since he was six was now a reality.
As they sat behind the table in Biology he leaned in and quietly brushed his lips against her ear. He whispered his need to see her as soon as possible. This immediately caused her to tremble as she closed her eyes letting his seductive presence wash over her.
Pulling back she nodded to him while she chewed on her bottom lip.
"Tonight then"
"Tonight"
Class was almost torture for them as they felt the overwhelming need to be as close as possible to each other.
As they took turns looking through the microscope they couldn't restrain themselves from finding a way to touch each other.
Max would occasionally slide his leg up against hers or their hands would find a way to graze their heated skin. It was as if what was growing between them was out of their control. It was a need that had to be satisfied …it was chemical.
Watching from a distance the cool icy glare of someone pierced the back of their heads as a sneer of disgust and determination almost screamed from her being.
As Tess looked on at the obvious love and affectionate display her resolve only grew in intensity. As the wheels turned in her head concocting her next move Maria tapped Alex on the shoulder and pointed at the situation that was playing out in front of them.
"What is up with her Maria…she almost looks angry… she barely knows them?"
"I don't know Alex, but it's not good"
