Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 64

By 2 pm we were done with work. And the worker left. I came out of the room holding laundry that needed to be done only to find Bianca lying on the couch fast asleep while Logan sat on the opposite chair using his phone. He left his head from the phone the moment he sensed my presence. '' She is sleeping?'' I asked in a low tone, not wanting to wake her up

'' Yeah'' giving me a slight nod '' This is the highest labour Bianca has ever done since birth'' his eyes fell on the basket of laundry '' What is that?''

'' I need to wash''

'' why didn't you give them to do it for you'' confusion in his eyes

'' I do my own laundry, Mr'' Walking past him, he stood up as well to follow me and we went outside

'' This is evidence that there is still unfinished work'' I heard him say from behind me while I walked to the side of the house where the mini-washing machine was kept. '' say I am wrong''

'' No you are not'' I smiled '' Actually, I have to clean up my mother's restaurant and that would be when she returns and settles''

'' Seriously Maria'' I placed the basket on the ground and opened the machine. I felt his gaze on me as I put clothes into the washing machine '' Is there anything I can help you with'' I paused at his question, then looked at him '' What?''

'' What can you do for me, Logan?''

'' Ouch.. that is offensive'' he wasn't angry nor happy '' What do you take me for, some rich spoilt kid''

'' Precisely '' getting back to my business

'' That is not nice Maria'' I looked at him again, to see hurt in his eyes. And it caused my heart to ache

'' Ok,'' looking around to see what he can do for me. I spotted the tap and the water host already connected to it. '' Help me with the water then'' I instructed before, turning around to reach for the soap on the ground. Pouring enough soap into the clothes.

'' How do you turn this on'' Logan grumbles while I roll my eyes.

'' And you got upset when I said you....'' turning to face him and I was caught off by the sudden force of water that hit me ''aaaaa'' My heartbeat stopped for a second or two. the water finally stopped

'' Oh'' was all I heard from him. I managed to open my eyes to see that he had turned the host in the other direction '' my bad'' he smiles

'' seriously!!!'' scolded ''My bad?... Is that how you say sorry?'' come to think of it, I have never heard him apologise for anything.

'' It's not my fault for not understanding the dame thing'' He wiggled the host and the water splashed me again

'' Yaaa'' taken by surprise for the second time

'' My bad''

'' Logan, come here'' I frowned as I walked towards him

'' No wait, Maria'' We fought over the host and when we finally came to our senses. Logan and I were already soaking wet. I hurried to turn off the tap and turned to face him. '' Ha, ha, ha,......'' Logan busts into laughter. Leaving me standing in front of him speechless, His laughter was rare I guess it's why it sounded so beautiful in the ear. I can't even get mad at him at this point

'' What is funny?''

'' The Look you gave me...You should have seen yourself'' he responded in the middle of his laugh and I found myself smiling at him.

'' I hate you'' using my sleeve to wipe my face. I tried to move away my hair which kept sticking to my face.

'' Here'' Logan stepped forward as he took out his handkerchief
