Chapter 23

"We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love." - Give me love - Ed Sheeran

You know that feeling you get when you're super excited about something? Well that's how I feel right now. After a long week of being in my old hometown of Virginia, I am finally heading back to my new home in Florida. Which means I get to see Logan soon!

We were about half way there so we still had about 5 or 6 hours left on the road but we are much closer than we were several hours ago.

Not only am I excited just to see Logan, but I'm excited to see his reaction when I show up at his doorstep. I might have told him a small lie that I won't be home until the middle of the night so I wouldn't see him until tomorrow morning. What he doesn't know is that I lied so I can surprise him.

Logan and the rest of the crew are hanging out at his house tonight and he was really hoping that I was going to be there. When I told him on the phone last night that I wouldn't be home until really late, he seemed pretty bummed out. I can't wait to surprise him when I get there later.

"Are you excited to see Logan?" My mom asked breaking me away from my thoughts.

I grinned and nodded, "Yeah, I am. Kinda nervous too."

"You really like him don't you?"

I cover my heated cheeks, "Mom!" She gave me an innocent look, "What? I'm just asking?" She smiled, "It's written all over your face so i don't know why you won't admit it." She says.

"Because," I say, "It's not that easy."

She scrunched her eyebrows together, "Of course it's easy. All you have to do is tell him how you feel. If he don't feel the same then that's his loss."

I gave her a pointed look, "That's not how things work anymore Mom. If he didn't feel the same way then we won't be friends anymore."

"Well for what it's worth, I think he likes you back. But what do I know huh?" She said giving me a smirk.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever," I mumbled. I put my earbuds back in and stared out of the window and listened to music. I turned around and saw my sister passed out in the back seat. I am so jealous of her for being able to sleep in the car because for some weird reason I can't.

Hours passed and finally we were about 15 minutes away from our house. I started getting jittery again. The butterflies returned in my stomach at the thought of seeing Logan face to face after a long week.

I texted Kelsey and let her know that I was close. She's the only one who knew about the plan. I knew she wouldn't spill the beans and I needed someone to make sure the plan went the way I wanted it too.

We pulled up in my driveway and I took a deep breath as I opened the car door and slipped out quietly. My mom and sister were unloading the car and told me to go on and see Logan. I tiptoed up his front porch steps and knocked on the door. "Who's here?" I heard Peyton say. "I don't know? Maybe it's the pizza guy. Logan are you going to get it?" I hear Kelsey say from inside. "Yeah," I grinned as I heard Logan's footsteps come close to the door. I let out another shaky breath, waiting for him to open the door.

Finally the door opens and I grin as I see Logan's shocked reaction. He stands there looking at me with wide eyes and mouth opened for a moment. He then sobers up and he lips curve into a big grin. "Zoe!" He pulls me into a bear hug. "What are you doing here? I thought your weren't coming in until late." His voice was muffled because his face was buried in my shoulder.
