I Belonged To Him

Chapter 14

It's been a week since Mason told me his mother was sick.

And a week since I've seen Logan.

I just bury the thought of him deep in the back of my mind. Not much has happened since then, except that I have a lot of stress because of the university. Of course I knew that studying medicine wouldn't be easy, but it's really so stressful now. I don't come to eat anymore, but Sami does his best to conjure up delicious food for me. Sometimes it works, well sometimes it doesn't. However, I appreciate that, he's studying law himself and that's not exactly easy either. Right now I'm sitting in the university library trying to learn genetics and the individual parts of the body like cells and so on, I'm very good at memorizing so I don't have any problems here either. The only problem is that I often black out during exams or presentations. That was the worst thing about my school days, always starting to learn everything three or two weeks before the exam and then forgetting everything because of my nervousness. This is also the reason why I was afraid of not getting my degree.

I let my head sink to my sheets and notes in front of me and read through everything again, when I see that I have memorized everything well, I gather my things and get up from my seat, which is in the far corner of the library. I take my white and pink Adidas bag that goes perfectly with my outfit today. My outfit consists of loose pink pants, a white tight body, a pink coat with a matching white headscarf, a white bag and white shoes.

(The outfit)

I walk out of the library and walk to Starbucks which is right around the corner from here. In the meantime it has become routine that I come here after studying but I need caffeine. I walk in and can already see the long line where I have to queue. I stand behind a tall man, about 2 meters. He's really tall , just like Logan.

For a week now I've had stomach pains because of the bad feeling I have about Logan. I didn't do anything wrong but I feel bad. Maybe I was too hard on him after all.

I mean after all he bought the restaurant and if he doesn't want a guy working in his cafe then no guy should work there. Its his Decision.

My thoughts are interrupted by the cashier. "What would you like to have?" she asks me "A latte machiato without sugar please" I answer and smile. It's automatic with waiters that I always smile, because I always think that if I were a waitress I would also wish that customers smile at me. "That's $4.50" Since I already have my wallet ready, I take out a fiver bill and hand it to her. She was about to give me the rest money but I make a throw motion, showing her that she can keep the money. She gave me a friendly smile and turned to the next customer, who I made room for at the same time to be able to stand at the counter. I'm looking for a quiet place where I can sit and read a little.

Just as I was about to look around, I saw Logan walking towards me. wait what Logan approaches ME. Okey take a deep breath and take a deep breath. I wave my free hand at myself . Why am I so nervous anyway? I ask myself in my mind . It's just so unexpected to see him again after a week. He stops in front of me. I look up at him and nod once. "Hey" He nodded to me too. "Would you join us?" What does he mean here? He sees my questioning look and nods his head to his right. I look over his shoulder and see Mia sitting at a table and she waves at me. I wave back. oh now i can't say no anymore To signal that I want to join them, I run to Mia in advance. I sit down across from her, and Logan next to his sister. Silence. Awkward silence.

Mia is the first to break the silence "How are you?" She smiles warmly at me. "All right and yall?" I ask in plural because I don't want to sound rude. "Also" both replies at the same time. My gaze flies across the table, Logan has a black coffee in his hand and Mia has a chocolate cake in front of him. "Why are you here alone?"
"I was just in the library studying for my upcoming exam and then I thought I'd come by here" I answer Mia. "How come you're here?" Ask the two of them but look at Logan who to my surprise has already looked at me before. "Logan picked me up from school and I didn't want to go home yet. It's just sooo boring at home and I don't have any friends either, well, except for you, if you want, of course." How sweet. Mia really reminds me of my younger self. I smile at her "Of course we're friends, that's out of the question, but don't you have any friends at school?" Logan cleared his throat. "Mia is taught alone." Oh. I honestly didn't expect it. "But not at home?" "No, I go to a school but I'm taught there by a teacher alone!" okey "cool" I'm sipping on my coffee and thinking about getting a cake too, Mia's looks delicious I push back my chair "I'm going to get a piece of cake .Do yall want something?" I ask in the group. They both shake their heads. Well then. I start to run and then hear footsteps behind me. I turn around and see that Logan followed me, I had one premonition that it was him. 

"I was just asking you if you wanted something"
"I just wanted to come along," he defends himself.

"Are you coming back to the cafe?" I knew it . "Why don't you just hire a waitress?" I just don't understand him.
"Because I bought the store because of you and I want it to be yours!" But I don't want him at all, I think, but I don't say it because that would be far too impolite.

I look at him with a grin "On one condition!" He raises his right eyebrow. "Come on tell me"
"The boy can work there too!" He starts laughing. "What's so funny about that?" I ask, kind of angry. I don't like it when people laugh at me. "He's been working there alone for a week" Oh.

I wouldn't have expected that. I was just about to answer when two men stormed into the store.

Oh my God. One man walks towards us and the other in the other direction. Logan stands in front of me and holds my body close behind his. The customers scream wildly and suddenly everything stays silent. The man who where going to the other direction takes a gun and point the gun at Mia's head. Oh God
