It was the first time ever she was flying. «Dammit» she hissed at her phone while it was going slow. «You're so useless, what is even your point.»
She sighed and locked the screen. She just texted her friend Maheen hoping not to sound too anxious, but not getting her answer because her phone was crashing made it worse.
Only two hours before she was texting with Logan, her best friend ever. She just cut off the conversation because she was so stressed and didn't want to bother him, but all she wished in that moment was a call from him. She was missing his voice, even if last time she heard it was that morning (that morning was late night in Los Angeles, so Logan was really sacrificing everything for her sometimes, as she also did staying up late at night too) and even just his words typed on a screen. Only the thought of him was calming the girl down.

It was 1am when she got off the plane, and she was so excited, even through the late time. She looked at her phone and saw that Maheen told her that she would've came to take her at the airport, but still half an hour later, she got no sign from her and this got her worried. Cristina called her several times but she just wouldn't answer. All she could do was sitting on the chair waiting for her, because she didn't even know where the house was. She had been so stressed in the last days that she didn't find a second to write down the address. She got a text and, hoping very hard it would've been Maheen, she read it.
It was, instead, from Logan.
"Didn't you arrive yet, darling?"
She sighed of relief and texted him back.
"Yes, but Maheen was supposed to get me here, and she's not here. I'm worried, and I don't even know where the house is..."
"Hahahaha" he answered. And, right after: "I'm here rn I'm searching for you. I'll take you home."
"Do you know where it is?"
"Nope, but who cares, you can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the sofa."
She just read the text when, she heard a voice calling her name. She raised her chin and saw Logan, right in front of her. «OH MY GOD» she screamed in disbelief, standing up and diving into his arms. She always imagined the moment when she got to meet him.
She thought they would run towards each other and hug like lovers do. But she was such a spontaneous girl, she could never act fake or excessive feelings.
They held tight for a very long time. «Your voice is so cute when I don't hear it thought a phone.» said Logan.
«Thank you» she blushed.
«Are you tired?» he asked taking a step back.
«Not at all.» she said laughing. «Let's go.»
He smiled and took a couple of her luggages and got to his house.

«Your house is enormous.» said Cristina as they arrived.
«Kind of» he replied smiling.
They got off the car and brought the suitcases inside, leaving them in a corner of the living room. Logan sat tired on the couch and Cristina next to him. «Are you tired, grandpa?» she joked.
«Yeah, wanna watch some tv?»
«Okay» she smiled.
She got really close to him and rest her head on his chest, while he wrapped her in his strong arms. She was breathing his perfume and this calmed her down a lot, making her feel peaceful and not stressed anymore, making her forget of all of her worries.

Cristina woke up on Logan's chest, moving to his regular breath, and she took a moment to appreciate how good she felt in his arms. She rested there with him asleep until she needed to go to the bathroom, so, she slowly stood up and wandered around to find the room. When she thought she found it, she knocked on the door and then opened it. After she washed her face, she opened the door but, in front of her, was Jake.
He was Logan's younger brother and he was shirtless. «Good morning» she said raising her eyebrows, admiring the view.
«Finally we all meet, huh?» he replied.
She smiled and told him about Maheen not coming to the airport and he seemed anxious as she said that word.
«What's wrong?» she asked.
He tried to look relaxed and then said: «Nothing much, Mollie is here in a hour or so and I'll go take her to the airport.» This made her smile. «Wanna come?» he asked eventually.
«Sure.» she said keeping smiling at him like a stupid.
He blushed and went into the bathroom after whispering a «Ok then»
