LEAH'S/JAMIE'S POV
Going to my room to retrieve my phone, sliding it open, smiling as I see a miss call and a text from Logan.
Logan: now check mess. u r welcome, can I come over? I can get dinner.
me: pizzas fine
Going to shut off my phone, it instantly lights up.
Logan;: see you soon
me: yea
After a few minutes of waiting, I smiled, with an unusual feeling in my stomach. A good feeling of anticipation.
I went back down to join Jess and Jer, who were quietly sitting in the already clean kitchen.
"Guys" I called out to them.
Jess instantly turns and rushes into my arms. 'I'm so sorry" she kept repeating as she sobs into my neck.
She may be younger but she's almost my height.
With a questioning gaze at Jer, who also had tears in his eyes.
Pulling away from her. I look into her tear stained eyes.
"What's wrong, tell me " I demanded scared.
Standing together, "about the family court and the sacrifices and the struggles you've been through to keep us together. I promise, I'll be the best sister ever" she promise hugging me again.
Stretching out a hand to Jer, who comes barging in. "Scotts hug" he yells.
Breaking apart, "I have to some work to do" I said turning to Jess, "how was school?" I just remember to ask.
"Gosh Jamie, I actually don't feel bad about Shelly. And all the kids think that you're getting married to Logan, whose definitely the greatest catch of the century" she gushes, "No one will touch me now and Mr Antoine is in deep trouble, because the Logan's are the main benefactors of Michael's prep and has been, since his grandfather started the school" she finishes breathlessly.
Right! That's the power Mr. Antoine's afraid of. His family owns the school so he basically owns Mr Antoine once he's under his employed.
Not knowing what to do with this information, wondering if Logan's family didn't own the school, how much different things would be today, maybe Jer and Jess wouldn't be with me.
"Jame, do you like Logan?" Jer asks.
I nod instantly, with s slight blush.
"It's weird right? I only met this guy a few days ago and somehow my life, our lives seem to be revolving around him" I said, waiting for them to agree with me.
My little brother looked at me seriously, "it happens, like one in a couple thousand and today, you're that one. You've never been this way around any guy before and seeing you around Logan? It's a different you! It's a happy you and that's the you" he puts his index finger to my chest, " I want around all the time' he says with his voice breaking up with emotions.
"Aww" Jess gushes, coming in for another group hug.
Tearing up, I kissed them both, turning to Jer, "you have a pay to collect, from the Logan Gray shoot" I informed Jer.
"Keep it for something sexy for your first date with Logan" he says.
"Yea unlike these sexy clothes you working right now" Jess laughs.
Looking down at myself, I look good for me, but for Mrs Daniels to see me like this.
" I wanted to go back and change when Mrs Daniels got here but I didn't get a chance." I admit.
"Justin couldn't take his eyes of your ass, if Logan was here, Justin would have been in deep shit" Jer says.
Looking between the both of them, "I have to reprint some photos for Mrs Daniels," I told them "so start with your homework, I'll be out before Logan comes" i said walking towards the dark room, already planning my work, preferring to start with the wedding photos hoping the GUNS photos Logan misplaced will materialized.
Absorbed in my work. I lost track of time, printing all of the wedding photos and even redoing Logan's shots. If his copies resurface. I can always cover my bedroom walls with it. I thought, grinning.
Sitting in the dark room, looking at this sexy guy, whose got, the physique, the looks, the charm, but most important, he's got heart!
Being independent for nearly five years and a guardian to two young teenager have made me into a stronger woman, who never allowed a guy in, but Logan didn't leave when I said no, he stayed and is still here.
I've lost my parents, and my grandparents, losing my brother and sister would be totally devastating. If I allow Logan in and he leaves. I may never recover. Am I Strong enough to open my heart to Logan? Would I be able to let him go?
Shutting everything off, I walked outside hearing laughter, Adjusting my eyes to the lights.
I know I hear Logan, and Justin? how long did I stay on the room?
"Gray" Justin acknowledging me as I walked into the TV room seeing the four of them with a open pizza box, almost empty with water, and juices on the table.
All eyes we're on me I as looked around to see the one pair of eyes I've been wanting to see all afternoon and now that he's here, I'm nervous.
Suppose he changes his mind about pursuing me, now that I'm actually interested in being pursued.
For no reason, my mood has changed and it's my fault.
"Looks like you got the third world war going on in that pretty head there Gray" Justin says pointing to his own head.
Smiling, I walked closer, sitting on the arm of the chair Jer was sitting on.
It's only as I sat down and saw Logan's eyes on my legs that I realize that I should have changed.
"What time is it?" I ask looking around.
Lookin at his wrist watch, "seven forty" Logan said as I gasp.
"I've been in there that long?" shocked.
"Yeah, we've been waiting on you to eat," Jessy said as I look pointedly at the open box on the table.
"Well actually. Logan's been waiting" she corrected herself giggling.
