Raine 8/?

Cont. From Last Scene
Logan's Apartment

Once they were in the bathroom, the reality of the 
situation hit Max while Logan was getting 
undressed, "I don't think we should do this."

Logan blinked, not too entirely shocked, "You 
don't have to do anything you don't want to, 
Max. You have nothing to prove to me."

Max smiled, "We just moved... too fast, Logan, I 
think we should slow down. We've only known 
each other for a year..." she walked around, her 
arms shaking lightly.

"Max," Logan grabbed her hand lightly, "It's 
okay. I understand, and I also agree. It was too 
soon. We should have waited," he kissed the 
palm of her hand.

"Last night was good, though," she leaned down 
and kissed him.

He blushed as they broke apart, "Yeah," his 
fingers played with hers, "We'll take it slower, 
no more 'banging the gong' until we're both 
ready," she laughed at his use of her and Kendra's 
nickname for what they had done the night before, 
"You take the first shower, I'll go lay back down, 
okay?"

She nodded, "Logan- you don't have to..."

"Shh! Just do it, Max, I need to catch an extra 
hour anyway," he gave her hand a final squeeze, 
let it fall to her side, and rolled into his bedroom.

Max grinned to herself, reaching out to turn the 
shower on, happy that he understood. 
***************

Raine heard the shower go on and smiled to 
herself. She hadn't really ever had a boyfriend, 
nor did she ever want one. Not at this time in her 
life, when she had to look over her shoulder 
every five minutes.

Her thoughts couldn't stray away from what 
Lydecker had told her. She needed those anti-
depressants like she needed air.

It wasn't hard to get them the first time, while she 
was still living with her adopted parents. They 
had taken her to a doctor to get the nightmares to 
stop. But, of course, that was before they had 
turned on her.

Right now, the herbal anti-depressants were 
keeping her stabilized at a hundred dollars a 
bottle. She heard once that they used to cost 
much less.

Raine just wished she remembered a time when 
shelves were full, and electricity worked non-
stop. There are some that say it will be that way 
again, that America had pulled itself out of 
depression before.

She hoped those people were right.

Authors Notes:

I wasn't happy with Raine 7A, but I posted it anyway 
(my email kept freezing up. ^.^). I corrected many 
problems in it, but it bugged me that I had them sleep 
together so soon after their second kiss.... it unnerved 
me to no end. 

^.^

I, personally, believe in abstinence. BUT, I was writing 
how I thought James Cameron would've played it. (Ever 
see Terminator?)

Bottom line: I promised it.

So this is my chapter where I clean it all up. I hope you 
enjoyed it, and if I have offended anyone at all, I do apologize.
