'' are you going to talk to me or just leave me sitting here all day'' I broke the silence, desperate to know what was going on. Logan lifts his head to meet my gaze. Sadness in those beautiful eyes and it hurts me to see them. I leaned forward, placing the glass on the table beside the couch. '' Logan, please talk to me, I don't like this silence''
'' Maria?'' he hesitates '' I want you to be honest with me, can you do that''
'' hmm.. sure'' what the hell is going on
'' Did you... meet my father a few nights ago'' My heart dropped. He found out. I didn't want him to find out. I wanted to put it aside, like it never happened, and move on with him. But he found out and from the looks of things, that is not the only thing he found out about. Maria? calling me back to reality
'' Yes... yes I met with your father''
'' Why didn't you tell me?''
'' there was no reason to tell you'' I say quickly
'' wait'' he pauses'' You met with my father and you didn't see any reason to tell me?'' he frowns
'' With the look to things, you already knew about it'' trying to be calm, '' why didn't you ask me?''
''Because I was waiting'' he stood up in frustration. I watched him rub his hand in his hair repeatedly, messing his perfect hair ''I felt that you didn't trust me enough Maria'' Pain in his voice '' I thought that you didn't trust me enough to tell me about your meeting with my father... to tell me about your father's relationship with our company Maria, that is why I waited'' He knows, he knows it all. Fuck, this is not good.
'' You knew?'' My heart began to race, faster than usual. My breath became unsteady, and I noticed my hand shaking '' You knew what your father did to my...''
'' I found out on that night'' Logan cuts me off. '' The night I told you about Gorge. I thought you knew, you knew about your father and I feared you would run from me but.... that day, our last day of school when you kissed me. I concluded that you didn't know and... and I wanted to keep it that way''
'' So you pretend like it was nothing'' I said, like I knew what was in his mind. If that is the case then what is wrong, why can't we just go on like it was nothing like before, why all the drama '' I don't see the problem here Logan. What happened to pretending, we were doing just fine so what....''
'' You know More than that Maria'' his words came as a bomb, I didn't see it coming '' The document was found in your house, it contained everything, every single thing that should be hidden away in the dark. You know of it'' The document was found in my house? How? don't tell me?
'' I don't understand. Do you spy on me now?'' shocked '' Are you telling me that you got people to search my house without my consent?'' sanding up in disbelieve
'' Not me, my father.... and that is not the point here Maria''
'' What do you mean that is not the point here... Your crazy ass father got people to break into my house? Do you know what that means?''
'' Maria'' he stepped forward and I moved back in disappointment
'' My family is not safe from you guys, anything could happen to my mother and sister any time and I wouldn't know.... this is crazy'' still finding it hard to believe
'' Maria! That is not the point!'' He stood in front of me
'' Then what is? What is the point here?''
'' How'' hesitates '' How did you get does documents Maria'' Our gaze looked. There was something more than sadness in his eyes, pain and anger, suspicion
