Sorry for the massive delay... but here we are! Over 3700 more words for you to read :) Hope you enjoy!

"Are you sure I can't walk you to your door?" Logan asks as we stand outside of my apartment building. He insisted on walking me up to the front of the building. It's kinda cute, actually. However, not so "just friends" like.

"Thank you for the offer, but I think I can handle walking up to my apartment by myself." I chuckle. "But hey, thank you for dinner! You really didn't have to pay for me."

"I know I didn't HAVE to. I wanted to... but you're very welcome. Thank you for not fighting me TOO much about it." He laughs and rolls his eyes. I definitely fought him about it. I even tried to sweet talk Claude into handing me a separate check for my meal. Claude didn't budge. I lost the fight.

"Alright, well, I get the next one then! No arguments!" I point my finger and narrow my eyes at him.

He holds up his hands in a surrendering motion, "Alright, alright! You can get the next one." He then opens the building's front door for me to walk through. "Just make sure you let me know you made it into your apartment safely, please."

I roll my eyes and laugh. "Dude, I'm only like eight floors up! I'll be in my apartment in, like, a couple minutes at most."

"Ok, DUDE, then I guess I will expect a text in the next couple of minutes from you saying you are safely in your apartment. I hope you have a good night, Sophia. Thank you for coming to dinner with me." He leans in and wraps his free arm around my shoulders in a sweet hug. I wrap my arms back around him as well. God, he smells so damn good. And he's so warm. I could stay in this embrace all night with how warm and comfortable I was with him. I almost swear that I can feel his heart beat speed up as we are embracing. I snap myself out of the trance I was easily heading towards and lean out of his embrace.

"Thank you again, Logan. I really had a good time. Get home safe!" His steel-gray eyes seem to see right into my soul and I feel like I can't look away. I don't even want to look away yet, but I feel like he will see too much of what I am feeling if I allow this intense eye contact to continue. I smile and spin away from him to walk into my building. As I am approaching the elevator, I turn to see if he's still standing there. only to just catch the back of him as he walks back to the Uber. Damn, he already left. I get into the elevator and press the 8th floor button. Why was I even expecting him to still be standing there?

I grab my phone from my clutch to check for messages... and apparently to message Logan once I am "safely in my apartment". It lights up with a missed call and message from Gianna.

GIANNA: Hope you're home. I'm on my way over.

Well, that was about 20 minutes ago, so I guess I should expect her shortly. Geez, I wonder what this is going to be about.

SOPHIA: Yup, I'll be here.

The elevator doors open and I arrive on my floor. I head down my hallway and reach into my clutch again for my keys as I approach my door.

"Hey Soph." A voice I haven't heard in what seems like forever echoes down the hallway towards me and makes me stop in my tracks. What in the actual the fuck.

"Um, what are you doing here, Oliver?" He stumbles off of the floor and leans against the front of my door, hands going into his pockets like a little kid does when they are getting in trouble for something.

"Well, you haven't been returning any texts or calls and I have been trying to talk to you about everything... about us." A laugh burst out of my mouth uncontrollably and I walk closer to my door.
