My Best Friend's Son (BWWM)

Chapter 26-Babies, Babies, Babies

*Lilly's POV*

Clones. that's all I saw. The resemblance was crazy that I often question how Rita would feel if she ever saw Ellie. Would she put two and two together? Will she question her fiancée? Will the two half sisters question the resemblance?

Logan had amazing genes

I was lost in his eyes. So much so I couldn't even speak. What words could I say? Congrats on your soon to be marriage with Rita? Or how has life been treating you? Or—are you still holding a grudge against me? I haven't seen or talked to him in years. He has not made any effort to reach out or even ask about Ellie. And Arshad loved that. I could tell. He wanted us to be as far from each other as possible. I don't even think he believed Logan and I would speak at the wedding.

I mean, it's his wedding to Rita.

What would we even talk about?

I watch as Logan opened his mouth to say something, but he reconsidered and just slowly crossed his arms. His attention though went back to Ellie. The little girl was squirming in her stance. "Daddy, whose that?" Lillian repeats tugging on her fathers pants. She doesn't remember Ellie. They only saw each other approximately four times during the seven years. Logan wasn't comfortable with Heather bringing her over to my house. And I understood completely.

I don't even think Lillian recognized me either.

She looked so puzzled

"Mommy I can't hold it in!" Ellie says, now face red with helplessness. She abruptly grabs my hand, and tugs me "I'm going to pee on myself!" She whines. I gracefully lift her in my arms "I should probably get her inside" I say. I didn't wait for him to reply, I just go inside the bathroom feeling totally mortified. I finally see him after seven years, and I couldn't even say hi? Or congratulations?

I'm so twisted

Once I finally make it in and close the door behind me with my foot, Ellie scrambles out my arms and races to the first stall. I went to the sink to look at myself in the mirror and ruffled up my hair a bit.

Wait

Was I trying to fix myself up? For Logan?

Get it together Lilly..this is his wedding

Not yours

I heard Ellie start peeing and singing "let it go" from the movie frozen. I've heard that song almost a million times. But it did distract me a bit from my stand off with Logan

"Hey Lilly,"

I look up and witnessed him close the door behind him and locking it. If I can tell you how hard my soul escaped my body. I watch as he fixes his collar, closes his eyes for about a minute before letting out a long breath. "What's wrong?" I whisper. He just walks over to me and nods "this is the men's bathroom"

"What?" I said looking around at my surrounding.

Oh hell!

There were urinals around me and I didn't even take notice. I was utterly embarrassed "what—you let your daughter use the men's  bathroom?" He didn't seem smitten by my words, he just crossed his arms and shakes his head, cracking a short smile "she didn't use the bathroom, I did—she just likes following me around" his smile slowly turns back to a slight frown "so how have you been?" He was now leaning against the sink I was using, scrutinizing my face. I couldn't read him. I didn't know what he was thinking. If only I could read his mind. I hid my discomfort "well—it's been seven years, I've been okay"

"Just okay?" He asks

Ellie's singing were now loud, as we heard her pull some tissue paper

I nod "yeah, what do you want me to say?" I question. He looked confounded, as he bit his lip and started playing with his long locks. In which I complimented him on "you look great," I start "you grown so much" he was twice his size since I last saw him. He fell silent, looking at my dress, as it was more important then my praises. The push up bra I was wearing really came in handy today. But I found myself, crossing my arms over my exposed breasts and called out for Ellie "you finished yet?"
