right here

five

logan:

this woman is driving me nuts. she knows just how to get under my skin and crawl around while she's there. if it wasn't for her stupid, ugly fiancé, i wouldve had her in my arms by now. who am i kidding, i could have her now if i really wanted to. but she seems happy with him if we're being honest. beverly says he treats her right and i'm gonna believe that.

"what you thinking about, man?" dan throws an arm around my shoulder, we're sitting in our regular spot at t&a's. it's not very crowded but it's also 9 o'clock at night.

"ah, nothing." i shake my head from side to side and continue eating my third basket of fries of the night. what can i say? i like to eat.

"did you see how beverly was dressed at the party the other night, or were you too busy with emily?" dan looks over at emily, who's just scrolling on her phone half asleep.

"oh, trust me, i saw. hey, this stays between us," i lean closer to dan and lower my voice to a whisper, "i didn't even sleep with her." dans face is covered in complete shock.

"really?" he slightly shouts. i shush him and look around us.

"honestly, she's a terrible kisser. and her breath smelled like straight ass." dan lets out a loud laugh and honesty i'm not stopping him this time. i personally would laugh too.

"i'm surprised you haven't tried bev yet." he sighs, taking a sip of his chocolate milkshake. such a kid.

"she'll be married soon. gotta respect that." dan nearly chokes, he looks at me with his eyes wide as hell.

"what happened to the real logan?" i shrug my shoulders and look at her on the other side of the table, "i mean come on! you could take any mans girlfriend with just a flash of that stupid smile." he brings his voice down to a whisper. i shrug my shoulders again and beverly looks over at me. we hold the eye contact but she looks away, "see! you guys are practically having sex across the table."

"my god, you are a child, dan."

"it's a gift." he shrugs, finishing off his milkshake.

beverlys phone starts ringing and she pull it out of her backpack, that she carries everywhere with her on campus. she walks away from the table and answers it.

the call goes with a bunch of "mhm", "yeah", "that'll be great", and ends with "alright i'll send you the address". she goes back to her seat, i see her hands are physically shaking, i feel my attention locking on her.

"guys, my boyf-," she pauses, "fiancé, is gonna meet you all. please, be on your best behavior." everyone nods their head while mine droops down.

nows the chance to really see this fucker.

nearly 15 minutes later the blonde headed, giant, scrawny boy shows up. he sits down beside beverly and immediately kisses her on the cheek. she looks incredibly uncomfortable.

"this is, connor." she shows him like a grand prize, "connor, this is everyone." he scans around the table and stares at me as soon as his eyes meet mine. this'll be fun.

"so you're the fiancé she barely talks about?" i ask, making my voice booms through the diner. just to make sure he hears me, duh.

"well, i don't think she has any other fiancé's?" he looks over at her and she smiles brightly. i've never seen her smile that hard. he tightly grabs her thigh under the glass table.

"that's nice. honestly expected something more from a girl like her." i show my best smirk. connors eyes quickly fill with rage, which feeds my ego to its fullest capacity. "ya know has better style, tattoos, piercings, a personality."

true me, i am not trying to date this girl, just trying to get her to see how big of an asshole he is. it's so obvious to see, she must be blinded by love or whatever.

personally, love isn't my thing. i prefer lust. just hardcore, raw lust. it's like love but without all of the ooy gooy shit.

"i don't think she likes that, mr?" he trails off, searching for my name.

"logan. but most girls call me daddy." dan bursts out laughing but beverly gives him the death stare and immediately stops.

"you've got jokes." i see him chewing the inside of his cheek. i bite my bottom lip and look at beverly. she's giving me the same look she was giving dan, but that's the reaction i was fully expecting.

"i'm cassie!" cassie swings around beverly, putting her hand out to shake connors. he gives her a firm hand shake. but, somethings off about cass's energy. she seems protective in some way.

"i've heard all about you." connor explains. she nods her head and continues eating her fries.

oh! i forgot about mine, i'm sure they're cold by now.

"well, we better get going," beverly grabs her backpack and leaves a $10 tip on the table, "connor has work bright and early in the morning, isn't that right, babe?" he nods his head while standing up. he immediately grabs her waist and whispers something in her ear. she slowly nods her head and takes the keys from his hand, they're BMW keys.

beverly leaves the diner and connor immediately sets his hands on the table, causing everyone to bring their attention to him. "now, logan. the next time you pull some shit like that in front of beverly, you will wish you had never learned to speak!" he shouts.

"i'm guessing she hasn't told you, this has been happening since the day we met." connor clicks his tongue and takes his hands off of the table.

"we're not done here." he points at me before stomping out of the diner.

everyone just stares at each other before emily finally sits up from her instagram daze, "i got it all on video." she turns her screen around and i smirk.

"we have to show it to beverly." cassie sighs.

i shake my head 'no', "no, we have to wait until the perfect moment. i promise you guys, i'll find more dirt on that piece of shit."

i made a promise, and i'm gonna keep it.
