OK Mell! Stay cool! It's not the first time. You know how to handle this.
" Okay I'm in. But before I sign the contract you have to play along, " I said having this idea of making Kayl down.
" Come with me," I said to Logan.
" Logan I ... I am so sorry. But I can't I already have a boyfriend and- ...", I cut of my own word to make it look more dramatic.
" Kayl ... ??!!!!" I shouted.
" Oh ... Melodie what are you doing here?" , he asked with a shy smile.
" Well I am watching a movie. What do you think. I saw your little games with her. I saw you kissing her hand. Unbelievable!" I spilled out some fake tears. Kayl came into our direction. He wanted to say something but Logan was faster.
" Stop crying. Please. I can't see you cry over someone who doesn't know how to cherish you", looked like Logan started playing along with me. He is good.^_^
"But what else should I do? I have no family anymore and no one else I can relay on. Why me again? Why is it always me? ", I said. But this wasn't even a lie. It was the truth. The bitter truth. The truth I still wanted to deny.
" I know you have been through a lot. So I want to ask you something," Logan said that with a dead serious expression on his face. Not allowing me to know if he was acting or if he was meaning what he was going to say. He got down on his knees and reached out his hand. " Will you be the one who loves me and cares about me? Are you willing to let me love you and protect you every time you have any troubles? Will you be my girlfriend? " So touching. Never thought that someone would do this for me. He reached out his hand. Everyone around us shouted "Be with him ! Be with him! "
I took his hand and answered:" Yes. I will be your girlfriend." Logan stood up and pulled me close to his body. He wiped away my tears and hugged me. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! ", they shouted. He loosed the hug and and touched my face gently. I was sure that he was going to steal my first kiss. I closed my eyes and presses my lips together like I didn't want to be kissed. But than I felt his warm lips on my forehead. Not knowing why I was grinning. Maybe being happy that he didn't steal my first kiss.
As we looked at each other I felt a hand on my arm. I turned around and saw Kayl. Logan pulled away his hand and said:" Do not ever touch Melodie again. From now on I don't want to see you in her near or you'll see! " His voice had a anger with which he made him run out of the café without even saying a word.
After that we went back to the table. I took a sip of the chocolate drink. " So ahm do you think you can sign the contract now?" Logan asked me.
"Well let me first read through it," I answered.
So in this contract was written that I have to stay at Logan's apartment or at the Johnson's mention. I have to stay there until I was 20 years old and I will stay there with the status of Logan's girlfriend / fiancee. All other conditions were like have to play along when it comes to the media reporters asking questions about us. Or things like that I have to go to parties with Logan. And I couldn't have a boyfriend. And on and on...
" Well I think this will work. But you know that doesn't mean that I sold my self to you. I am my own person," I said.
" Of course sure."
"Good," I said and signed the contract.
"Well if this is clear, let's say you have 5 day to pack up and move to my apartment or dad's house," he said.
" Can I also move tomorrow? I am afraid of being alone," I said and looked away.
He smiled out of joy. "How about you grab some things for tonight and come to my apartment today," Logan said.
"Thank you. This is a good idea," I said with a shy look on my face." Well I was talking. Er... Where am I suppose to live?"
"Well this'll be your choice. But I think it would be better if you stay with me, at my apartment."
I nodded my head.
"Alright then it's decided. Let's go to your house," Logan said.
AT THE TONG'S HOUSE...
When we arrived it was already 2:30 pm. I didn't eat anything last night and didn't eat much this morning. But I wasn't hungry. I only felt a bit weak. I told Logan to sit in the living room and went upstairs to pack my things.
After like ten minutes Logan came into my room and said:" I like your room. It looks warm and comfortable."
I flipped around and put one hand on heart. "God, you scared me."
"I'm sorry," he said with his hand going through hair.
"Come in. Please have a seat," I said.
