The Darker Side of Me

Chapter 32: Homecoming

The next morning, I awoke at about 7:30am. I drew in a deep breath and smiled when I remembered that everyone was coming home today, and that meant Logan. I slowly found the strength to get up and shower before heading downstairs to make breakfast. He was coming over to my house this morning and said that he would bring me over to the pack house later to meet them all. After I was done in the bathroom with my shower and makeup, I headed back into the main room to pull on a pair of sweats from PINK and a sports bra. I threw my hair into a ponytail and went downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and found a bouquet of pink and white Calla Lilies in a vase in the center of the island. In front of the vase was a plate that had fried hashbrowns, an omelette, and 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with butter. I walked over and admired the plate of food. Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands circle my waist and smiled hugely. I spun in Logan's arms to face him and immediately planted my lips on his.

"Hey baby," he murmured on my lips.

"Hi," I said back.

I kept kissing him and my arms slid up his chest and around his neck. I played with the little hairs at the base of his neck like I did whenever I felt in a sweet kind of mood. He groaned and pulled me more into him by my hips. I smiled and pulled away slightly, just enough so I could look into his eyes. Our lips were only centimetres apart and he closed the space for a second to give me one last peck.

"I missed you," I whispered.

"I missed you too," he said back resting his forehead on mine.

"How much?"

"So much."

His voice caused me to moan and he chuckled, but kissed me again, starting another makeout session.

"When did you do this?" I gestured to the plate of food and flowers behind me.

"When you were asleep."

"How long ago did you get here?"

"Well, I took the luggage car back and Tony rode home with mom, so I was able to get the flowers on my way home. The food I did not to long ago actually."

"That's so sweet. Thank you babe."

"Anything for you. So what do you say we eat?"

"But there's only one plate out."

"Yeah, I sorta stuffed my face before I got here." He scratched the back of his neck cutely.

"That's ok. Did you have fun? I want to hear all about it."

I grabbed his hand and lead him over to the barstools at the island. I sat down in front of the plate of food and he sat next to me. As I ate, he told me all the most memorable stories from his trip. At one point, we both laughed so hard at something that happened to Hunter that we could hardly breath. Apparently little 3 year old Sophia Marie put his butt in its place. Some of the comebacks that he had against him made me think that maybe she was a younger version of me. He described them a little more and I was becoming quite fond of them already. Charlie seemed like a little Casanova. James and Austin sounded pretty shy and Mark sounded just like Logan. I couldn't wait to meet them.

After breakfast, we moved to the couch and cuddled up together for some much needed snuggle time. He draped his arm protectively over my shoulder and I was tucked neatly into his side. I sighed and felt Logan move under me.

"You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah," I answered. "I'm just happy your back. I really missed you."

He chuckled. "I was only gone for a week."

"Yeah, but with everyone gone with you, the pack house was all lonely and stuff. And the bed is not nearly as comfy when you're not there."

"Yeah because you never actually use the pillows anyways," he teased. "What time do you want to go over today?"

"Whenever. But you must be tired, you should get some rest. I have to do laundry anyways."

We walked upstairs to my bedroom and I started to sort out my whites, colours and darks as Logan made himself comfortable on my bed. About halfway through my hamper, I was pulled to my feet by Logan and dragged across the room to my bed. I struggled to pull away from him but he just threw me down on my bed, causing me to giggle uncontrollably, and crawled on top of me. He brought his lips hungrily down on mine. I, of course, responded by kissing him back with the same amount of emotion. I slipped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he ground his lower half into me. I moaned when he pulled away to pepper kisses down my neck. I missed this dearly over the week he was gone.

"Noah," he mumbled against my skin.

"Hmm?" I answered, biting my lower lip.

"I want you so bad."

"Mmmm."

"Let me have you?"

Wait, what? "I... Logan I..."

He pulled away from my neck and looked directly into my eyes. "I know, I'm sorry."

"Trust me, I want to, so badly. But it's just... I'm scared Logan."

"I know you are." He leaned down and pecked my lips lightly. "I'm sorry for bringing it up."

"Don't be. I... I should be the one who's sorry. I'm..."

I felt years prickling in my eyes at why I was about to say.

"Noah, baby don't cry. It's ok, I understand."

"I know you want to and I'm just holding you back."

"No, no. I don't ever want you to think like that. Yes I want to, but if you're not ready then we wont. We have our entire lives to do it. I'll do it when you're ready."

"But Sarah told me last night that her and Hunter mated already."

"Yes, they did. But that doesn't mean that you have to now too. I'm willing to wait, I promise."

I hugged hmi tightly and he hugged back. "Thank you Logan."

"Of course. I love you. Never ever forget that."

"Never. I love you too."

We cuddled for about 20 more minutes before I somehow conviced him to let me go and finish doing my laundry before my mom came home. As I walked up the stairs from doing to the last load I had, my mom walked in the doors and asked me how long it takes me to do 3 loads of laundry. I admitted with a blush that Logan came over this morning and I was a bit... preoccupied. She gave me her signature 'oh my' look which caused me to blush even more. She stuck a frozen pizza in the oven and Logan and I ate. When we were all done, I washed up the kitchen and went upstairs to get ready to go and meet the new pack members. I shouted to my mom where I was going and she gave me permission to ray the night if I wanted to, but that I was stayin in tomorrow night since it was a school night. I smiled and thanked her with a hug. Logan was already outside waiting in his car for me and when I slipped into the passenger seat, he laced his fingers in with mine and we drove back to the pack house in a comfortable silence.
