Chapter 20 Let Me In

Book:Now You See Me Published:2024-5-1

I awoke again forgetting where I was. I was still in the same gigantic bed only this time I had two massive arms wrapped around me, holding me like I was a life raft (one hand grasping my boob I might add), and something very hard poking in my backside. I quickly recovered from my stupor.
“Logan.” I mumbled still a little sleepy.
“Hmmm.” He said smiling but not opening his eyes.
“Logan, your um.. poking me.” I thought for a second I might have embarrassed him, but not Logan Saunders.
“He’s happy to see you.” He mumbled with his eyes still closed.
“Well, I’m glad, that he is so happy to see me, but I do have to get up to have a shower so I can be ready for work.” I said with a giggle. Good thing this time I had packed a bag with a change of clothes.
“I’m afraid that’s unacceptable. You see once you are in his radar, you have no choice but to meet his demands, or he just won’t let you go.”
“Is that so. Well you can tell him that I will be in the shower in about five minutes, we can discuss his demands in there.” I replied to him smirking.
“I think he likes that idea.” He said now wide awake.
He jumped out of bed and was around the other side in seconds. Suddenly he scooped me up, fully stark naked I might add, and carried me to the bathroom.
“Logan I think I can walk myself to the bathroom, and I could have stood to stay in bed for a few more minutes.” I said to him pouting now.
“Oh no Princess, you have an important meeting to attend, you mustn’t keep him waiting.”
He left light butterfly kisses on my neck while waiting for the water to heat up. He was now sitting on the edge of the bathtub with me sitting on his lap. I brought my hands to his face and lifted his eyes to meet mine. I had a question on my mind and I had to get it off my chest before it consumed me all day. His beautiful dark blue orbs stared at me confused.
“What’s the matter Princess?” He asked when I didn’t say anything.
“Did you…” The words caught in my throat. “I mean it’s ok if you didn’t but… did you maybe say…” I turned my fifty shades of red. “Never mind.” I finally added.
“Yes I did.” He said interrupting me. “I told you I loved you, and I meant it, this is it for me Princess, you and me.” He rested his forehead on mine.
“Logan I never thought this could ever happen, but I think I love you too.” I barely got those words out and he had his lips on mine.
He brought me into the shower where we spent most of the time devouring each other. We couldn’t get enough of each other and I was beginning to think I would be late for work.
Finally we got washed up and were now dressing in his bedroom. More like I got dressed while he hovered around me making it impossible to concentrate on what I was doing.
I sat in the chair putting my shoes on while he played my hair brushing his finger by my neck every once and awhile causing my heart to race. “Logan stop that, I have to go, your gonna make it impossible.”
He smiled. “That was the intention.” He suddenly grew quite serious. “I have something I need to tell you. Can we meet up later after you get off work?”
“Ah ya, that’s fine, is everything ok?” I asked a bit worried now.
“Ya, it’s just something I’ve been wanting to tell you about, no big deal.” He smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes, it bothered me to see him this way.
I stood up and turned to meet him. I put both hands on either side of his face gently running my fingers back through his soft hair. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist.
“Logan, you can trust me. There is nothing you can tell me that will make me love you less. I’m not going anywhere.” I simply stated and when he opened his eyes he had tears forming in them.
I kissed his nose. “Ok, I gotta go, I love you.”
“I love you too.” He replied releasing me.
I had Jess picking me up and she was right outside waiting for me when I got out. I looked up at Logan’s bedroom window and he was standing there looking down at me with a smile. I smiled back and waved, he waved back and I got into the car.
“So, how was last night?” Jess asked knowing all to well what the answer would be.
“Jess I don’t want to give you all the details.” I stated scrunching my nose up.
“Why not, I tell you all my details.” She winked.
“Yes and I’ve been meaning to tell you that some of it is a bit of an overshare.” I replied laughing.
“Ok fine, but at least tell me if you gave him your “V” card.” She laughed along with me.
“Maybe.” I said biting my bottom lip. “He said I love you Jess, and I said it back.”
“What! That’s awesome, I knew you guys were meant for each other, the moment I saw you two together.”
“That’s crazy there’s no way anyone could have predicted this. We are complete opposites and we hung around completely different crowds. Meaning he had a social life, I didn’t.” I said shaking my head not believing a word Jess said.
“Maybe so, but I saw the fire that was in his eyes when he looked at you, and I saw you open your eyes for the first time since I’ve known you.” Jess pulled the car over. “Look Alicia, I know I talk a lot of BS to you for fun, but you have always worried me a little. You pull away from people and hide your nose into books, when Logan came into your life, it’s like life is in your body, like you seem to be living for the first time.” She said holding my hand.
I had a small smile on my face. “It kind of feels that way to me too actually, I didn’t even realize what I was missing before he came. I still don’t like most people in general mind you.” I pointed my finger at her narrowing my eyes.
“Oh yes I’m sure, now your at work get out of my car bitch.” She replied smiling.
I had just realized coming into work that I hadn’t discussed with Logan where we were to meet up later so I shot him a text.
“Hi just wanted to know when and where you wanted to meet up later? I can stop by your house.”
I waited for a reply, I could see that he saw the text but it took a little bit to get a reply which was odd.
“No. Can’t meet up. I’ll see you at school.”
I stared at the phone confused. I didn’t want to be one of those needy girlfriends but something seemed very off about that message and had me a little bit worried, the atmosphere had drastically changed since when I left him, but I had no choice but to carry on with my day and talk to him later about it.
I just hope he finds the strength and trust in me to tell me everything, because I feel like he needs support right now, but I can’t give it to him if he doesn’t let me in.
