So the guy on the right side of the screen is what I somewhat pictured Logan to be like but then I found out he was suppose to be Edward Cullen and I was like ick not Twilight again BUT SCREW IT I DONT CARE!!!!!! I PICK HIM. Boo movie ppl for not seeing he was hotter.
In the previous chapter Amber and her mom had actually talked about things so she kind of got to see a different side to her mom and tried to learn about Rebecca. Logan decided to put Amber out of her misery and show her Josh's girlfriend Lily. This chapter starts the next morning after Logan snuck into Amber's room.
I wake up alone in my bed to the sound of my mother yelling for me to come down for breakfast. I want to protest and say I would much rather sleep in but what am I suppose to say Mom, can I stay home today? Logan snuck into my room and kept me up until almost three in the morning.
After grudgingly getting out of bed to go for a shower, I step out of the tub with a towel on and find Logan sitting casually on my vanity.
Being somewhat angry I tighten my towel around myself, “Logan what are you doing in here?”
He smiles cockily, ”Sorry babe but it didn't look like I would get my morning dose of Ambi Bambi since your parent's are in the kitchen.”
”You spent the whole night with me. I am pretty sure you have got your morning dose.”
He pulls me gently toward himself slowly kissing along my neck. ”Mmm. I beg to differ.”
A part of me wants to get lost in him too but a bigger part of me is freaked out that someone will walk in and ruin this moment. ”Logan…”
”I thought we decided that you should stop talking when I am trying to kiss you.”
”Mmm.” I say letting him have one last kiss. ”Really we should not be doing this. Remember yesterday when you decided you didn't want my parents knowing.”
Logan cocks his head up, ”I said I didn't want them to know, not that I would not try to get some alone time with you.”
”Hehehe. Very smart.” I say wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest. He sighs and I can hear his calming breathing. With his hand on my back he slowly rubs my back were my skin is freed from the confinement of my towel which gives me goose-bumps.
”Okay Ambs, I got to go.” Logan says giving me a kiss on the cheek and sliding out of the bathroom.
”Bye.” Once he is gone, I proceed to change into some skinny jeans and a plain shirt. While changing into my clothes I wondered idly if my mom would ever finish her story. Yesterday night she told me a lot of stuff I never knew about but today is a new day and maybe she will regret telling me everything. Swallowing as much of my fear as possible I walk down stairs to the kitchen to see a Thorn-family breakfast in the making. Dad and mom are sitting on far end of the table drinking coffee and talking in hushed tones, while Logan and Josh are standing at the kitchen island eating eggs and drinking orange juice. As I walk into Logan's line of vision, he wracks over my body looking at it appraisingly and winks seductively. I try my hardest not to make a face but my cheeks burn red, which brings a big smile to his face.
Just as I am about to flip him off, ”Amber darling good morning.” my mom says.
I turn around to face her and smile at her. She looks less tired than yesterday and she even has her hair and make-up done. ”Good Morning.”
”Are you okay honey? You look a little flustered.”
I turn to face the counter where Logan is laughing into his eggs and say, ”Oh…erm… I am fine.” I give Logan one last half hearted dirty look and go into the pantry to grab a breakfast bar and maybe crawl under a rock and die.
When we finally leave the house to go to school twenty minutes later, I am more than pleased. Mom decided we should all sit at the table and play family. In theory, the idea was sweet; the execution was uncomfortable to say the least. Sitting between Logan and my mom while Logan decided to feel me up is not exactly a good family moment. Heart pounding, flustering and toe curling, yes but not something you would want to feel at a breakfast table with the family.
As we leave the driveway, I whack Logan in the back of his head from the seat behind him.
Rubbing his head, he says ”Oww. What is that for?”
”You know exactly what it is for?” From the side view mirror I can see a big bone head grin on Logan's face. ”Why would you do that to me when you know how squirmy I am?”
”Sorry Ambs. It is just too much fun watching you.”
”You’re a pig.”
”I just like seeing you act a little crazed. No harm done.” No harm done?! It is as if I am talking to an idiot.
Josh who up until now had stayed quiet butts in, ”Can you not discuss this with me in the car? I get that you guys are a thing but seriously, she is my baby sister. I would rather not be here to hear how my best friend gets her going.”
At the same time Logan and I both say, ”Sorry.” Although mine sounds more like an apology than Logan who still seems a little too proud of himself.
When we get out of the car, Josh walks straight for the school clearly trying to avoid the completion of this conversation. As soon as Josh leaves, Logan takes the liberty of wrapping his arms around me and squeezing me.
”Lover boy, you done?” I say when the warning bell rings for classes to start.
”Nope. I don’t get to touch you at home now, so I am not letting you go.” I give him a squeeze and then loosen his grip around me.
”You know the day started 8 hours ago and I am pretty sure you spent 7 of those hours with your hands around me.”
”Still not enough.” I tip toe to his lips and give him a kiss.
”Peachey it is going to have to be enough for now. You may be a genius, who also happens to be adored by the faculty but I am not. So I have to get to class or it will be detention for the Thorn girl.”
Making a pouty face, ”Ditch first period with me?”
”You and me both know that is not happening and my parents are home which means when the school calls they will know I ditched.”
”Alright fine, but will you come out with me for lunch.”
”Absolutely.” I say giving him a lingering kiss on the lips.
”Lunch? Promise?”
”Wouldn't miss it for the world.” I say with a grin as I pull him towards the school.
With a grin on Logan's face, he walks me to my first period and right as I am thinking this day could not get any better I see Adam standing watching me and Logan walking hand in hand.
”Amber.” Adam says looking hurt.
”Adam. Hey. I-I….” I start to say but realize I have nothing to say.
”You know I knew there was something up between the two of you. I guess I should have listened to my gut instead of listening to you tell me there was nothing.” Adam says with a humorless laugh.
”Adam. I am super sorry. I didn't mean-” I say.
Logan stares between Adam and me, and then walks off. Well crap now he is mad too. Why can't boys be less dramatic?
Adam looks at me looking at Logan's ghost and says, ”Yeah. I am sure your sorry.” and then walks into the classroom.
I sigh loudly and then walk into the classroom as well. There is an unspoken awkwardness between Adam and me and it is driving me a bit bananas. As class ends, I leave last so I do not need to walk near Adam. The rest of the morning goes by less eventful, but when 4th period is ending, I am not sure if I still have a date with Logan. I have not talked to him since we made the plan and I did not text him because I don’t know what to say. As I walk out of 4th period, I see Logan waiting for me. ”Hey.”
Not sure what to expect I say, ”Hi.”
Logan looks at me funny, “You okay?”
”Yeah. You okay. You left in a hurry this morning.”
Logan smiles, ”Well I didn’t think me standing there was helping the situation. I figured I would let you talk to him because I have no interest in being his friend but you clearly do.”
I grimace, ”It's not like that Logan. Adam is a nice guy and he didn’t deserve to be treated the way I treated him.”
”You dated him and you kissed me. I was treated like crap too.”
”Yeah well neither did you but I love you so I am aloud.”
He laughs, ”So you being in love with me makes it okay for you to treat me like poop.”
”No but you know me better than anyone else so you should know I didn’t mean to hurt you. I realize it sounds retarded but I cannot explain it.
Putting his arm around me he kisses my head, “Has anyone ever told you that despite all your cynicism you are a total romantic and don't worry, I know what you mean Bambi.”
”Yeah whatever you say Peachey.” I kiss him on the lips when we reach the car meaning for it to be only a sweet kiss but soon enough it turns into something more. I groan as Logan's hands roam my exposed skin.
He stops kissing me so we can both catch our breath and makes a proposition.” You know I could think of something better we could do rather than going out. We do have a spacious back seat to ourselves.”
With my cheeks slightly pink, I say, ”mmm. While I am sure you have a very...interesting…plan, I am starving so I WANT FOOD.”
Grudgingly he closes the back door of the car and opens the front one for me. ”Fine Princess. But one way or another I am getting you into the back of this car with me.” He says the last part with too much confidence.
”Yeah, in your dreams.” Or mine.
”Face it babe, you can't resist me forever. I will eventually wear you down until you are begging me to…”
