Mia
After we left the water, I remained quiet.
My feelings for Logan have grown stronger and I felt hurt that he wouldn't commit to me but he wants to spend time with me.
What am I? A free pass?
We put on our clothes and got into the car so Logan could take me home.
"Mia please say something, anything. This silence is killing me" he coaxed me
"I have nothing to say to you" I replied and with that, we drove home in silence.
"Can I at least say hi to your mum before I leave?" he said when we arrived at my house.
"There's no need for that Logan," I told him and went on to get into the house.
"Logan" I called again just before I opened the door.
"Feel free to sue me for a bridge of contract, I'm not doing it anymore" I told him and he looked unhappy but he nodded still.
"One more thing" I said
"Yes Mia" he said my name
"When next you meet Selena, tell her not to message me ever again" I told him
"She did?" He asked
"Yes. I don't know how she got my number but tell her what I said" I told him and got into the house.
"What did she say in the text?"he asked me
"Go ask her. She's your woman" I told him
"I want you to be my woman" he said and tried to take my hand.
"No Logan. Just go home because you don't know what you want" I told him
"Was that Logan?" mum asked me when I entered the house
I nodded
"Why didn't you let him come in?" Mum asked me
"Not today Mum" I simply said and headed to my room
"Are you guys fighting?" Mum asked me as she stood at my door.
"No mum" I responded
"Come on, you can talk to me. Something is going on between you two, I can see you are not okay" Mum said to me
"I'm fine mum. I promise I'll talk to you when I can" I told her
"Do you want me to talk to Logan for you instead?" she asked me
"Are you guys that close now?" I asked Mum with a laugh
"Yes" she said with a smile that irritated me.
"No! Don't do that, I'm fine. I just need to rest Mum" I told her
"Okay honey, I'll be right here if you need anything" she said but she didn't leave.
"Mum, why are you still here?" I asked her when I noticed she was still in my room after some time had passed.
"I said I'd be right here, honey" she said
"You won't leave me alone if I tell you what's wrong" I said
"That is very correct" she said with a smile
"Logan and I were never in a serious relationship"I released the news to Mum like a bomb.
"I don't understand you, honey" My mum was baffled at the news.
"He paid me to pretend to be his girlfriend for a duration" I told her
I explained everything to my mum.
"But he now has feelings for you?" Mum asked me
"We love each other, mother. At least that's what I know. We confessed our feelings for each other, but he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend that's why he can't be with me" I explained
"I can't believe you didn't tell me about all of this" my mum said
"I couldn't tell you because you were sick" I told her
"One thing I know for sure is, that Logan is a good man. It's evident, I have seen it, and even Connor has seen it. I mean he was ready to pay for my medical bills, Connor told me" Mum said
"I know" was all I said
"If he said he loves you then he means it, just hang in there. I'm sure he will come around when he figures things out" Mum comforted me
"Ok mum" I replied
"Don't hang in there too long though. You are free to move on when it feels right" Mum advised
"So what is your final advice on this matter mum? You are confusing me. Am I hanging in there or not?" I said with a frown

Logan
Seeing Mia in that state hurt me and made me love her even more.
I needed to confront Selena and ask what she did to Mia, so I drove to her hotel.
"What did you do to Mia?" I asked her immediately she opened the door.
"So your baby girl came crying to you?" she said
"How did you even get her number?" I asked her
"Oh! That wasn't difficult, you should know me by now. When I want something, I get it and that includes you" she said
"You are so delusional Selena" I told her
"Call it whatever you please. You had fun last night, didn't you?" she smiled and rubbed her hand against my chest.
I need to resist her. I came here for Mia so I have to stick to that.
"She said you sent her messages, what did you say?" I asked again
"I think the right question should be, what did I send? A picture? A video? A voice mail?" she teased
"Quit playing games with me young woman" I yelled
"Our hot make-out session during the weekend Logan, I sent it to her" she admitted
"My God!" I exclaimed
"Why would you do that?" I asked her
"Just because I can and because I wanted her to know to whom you belong" she said
"I have a video of us making out and then another video where I was screaming your name as you pushed in and out of me Logan. I didn't send her the second one, you should be grateful" she said
"You are evil. I would never let you have your way with me ever again" I said and I meant it.
What she just said made me resent her even more. I can only imagine how Mia must have felt seeing the video of the man you have feelings for making out with another lady, just after watching them kiss.
I vowed to myself to never have anything to do with Selena anymore.
"We are married, Logan. If you don't come back to me, I'll take you to court and everything you own will be shared amongst us" she said
"Has this been your plan all along?" I asked her
She had my sex tape and marriage certificates, what am I going to do?
"Stay away from Mia, I won't warn you anymore" I said
"Do you love her?" Selena asked me
"I love her. More than I ever thought I loved you Selena" I told her
"I know that's not true. You are just making up things" she said
"Making things up? I don't care about you anymore, you make me resent you with each passing day. I think I just needed closure because I wanted to know why you left me at that altar and now that I know, you don't deserve love" I said
"Leave. I don't want to see you" she screamed with anger.
"Leave Mia the hell alone" I said before leaving her room.

I explained everything that transpired between Selena and me to Lorenzo.
"You messed up Logan" Lorenzo
"Tell me something different from what I didn't do" I said
"I handle the marriage certificate thing. It's all fake, Logan. She was just messing with you" Lorenzo said to me
"Thank you Renzo" I said
"It's the least I can do to help you out" he said
"There's something you need to know"he said
"Don't tell me it's about Selena again" I begged him
"Sorry but it is" he told me
"She has something on Mom, that's why Mum is on her side in this" he told me.
"What could that be?" I asked him
"I don't know, I heard her talking over the phone yesterday with someone. She was furious throughout the call" he said
"She left her phone on the table after the call. I checked it. I saw a message from Selena that read…"
" IT'S EITHER YOU DO THIS OR I TELL YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT IT. WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF THEIR MOTHER THEN?"
"What could a mother possibly be hiding from us?" I asked Lorenzo
"I have no idea" he responded
"I think you should talk to her" Lorenzo told me
"Ok, I will do that. Let's just hope that she tells us the truth so that we know how to tackle any problem with Selena" I told him.
"So will you ask Mia to be your girlfriend now?" Lorenzo asked me
I smiled at what he said.
"With everything in me, I want to ask her. I wish she'd take me back" I told him
"You just got yourself a quest then. Win her back, I'm rooting for you" Lorenzo said
I smiled at him but my mind was occupied with the different ways I could use to apologize and win back Mia's heart.
