No One to Someone

Chap 4 (Gift of Giving)

Kelly's POV

It's been a few weeks over 3 months since Logan and I had separated. It's still hard seeing her every day at work. I was in my office when we're was a knock on my door. "Come in," I stated. My door opened and Joe walked in. He closed the door. "What can I do for you, Cruz?"

"Logan is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner at Molly's this Saturday," Joe replied. "Did you RSVP?"

"You're asking me if I RSVP'd to my ex-fiancée's Thanksgiving party?" I asked.

"Yeah, Logan's having me go around and ask if everyone RSPV'd," Joe nodded. "It's basically a last minute reminder. If you don't RSVP by the end of the day, you won't be able to come."

"Dude," I stated, a bit sternly. "I'm not putting in the RSVP for her party."

"Alright," Joe put his hands up. "I'll keep that noted."

"Just drop it, man," I nodded. Joe left my office. I saw Logan walking by. I opened my door. "Logan."

"Hey," Logan stated. "What can I do for you?"

"This party of yours, if I come, do I need to bring anything?" I asked. "Like food?"

"Uhm, no," Logan nodded. "I'm doing all the cooking."

"Wait, really?" I asked. She nodded. "Do you have the room?"

"I may not live in the house that has the room, but my place does ave the room I need," Logan stated. She looked at me and nodded. "I have to go."

"Wait, wait, wait," I stated as I got in front of her. "Look, I'm sorry. That came out a little harsh."

"Yeah, you think?" Logan asked. "My apartment is home to me and I am making it work."

"Where are you staying?" I asked. "I just want to know how you got a place so fast."

"Uhm, you don't know how I got a place in the beginning of our separation. I could've stayed with Violet," Logan shrugged. "I could've stayed with Stella. You don't know, so why are you assuming? I could've even stayed with Hailey or stayed a few days with Kim and Adam."

"It's not Violet or Stella," I crossed my arms. "I even checked with Kim and Hailey."

"What did Hailey say?" Logan asked.

"She covered for you, but I knew you weren't staying with her."

"Why do you think I knew not to stay with them? They would've been the first place you'd look. I knew," Logan crossed her arms. "That's why I chose a different place to stay, and I was fine with it. Thanks for your concern, but I'm fine."

"Alright," I sighed. Logan walked away. I did put in a RSVP for her party. The day of her party came and my phone rang. I turned over in bed, looked at it and it was Logan. I picked up. "I wasn't expecting a call from you."

"Yeah, I sorta need your help if you're not busy," Logan stated. I got out of bed without waking my partner. "Are you able to come and help me out?"

"Uhm, yeah," I nodded. "Just let me get ready." I hung up. My partner woke up and looked at me. "Hey, Kidd."

"Where are you going?" Stella asked.

"To help Logan," I stated. "I'll be back later today, okay?"

Violet's POV

"So, who's coming to help us out?" I asked. I saw Kelly walked in. "You've got to be kidding me."

"What?" Logan asked.

"Hey," Kelly stated as he gave each of us a hug. "I thought you didn't have any help."

"I agreed to this at the last minute," I nodded. "Uhm, yeah."

"Excuse me," a woman loudly stated. We turned around and saw a woman in front of a couple around her age. "Are you cheating on me?"

"What are you doing here?" the man asked.

"I was picking up lunch for us," the woman stated.

"Who is this?" the woman that was sitting down asked.

"Who am I? Who are you?" the first woman asked.

"I'm his girlfriend," the second woman stated.

"Well, I'm his fiancée," the first woman stated. "I'm going to ask you again, Eric. Are you cheating on me?"

"I don't know what's going on here," the second woman stated. "He told me he was single." She stood up. "Don't call me or text me ever again."

"Tina," Eric called after the woman. She didn't stop. "Seriously, Lela?"

"Two years, Eric," Lela stated. "Two years?" Eric groaned and walked out, probably going after Tina. "Seriously?"

"Hey," Logan stated as she got up to go to Lela.

"Lo," I stated as I followed her. "Lo."

"Lela, right?" Logan asked. She nodded. "Are you okay?"

"Not really," Lela stated. "We're supposed to be going to his parents for the holidays. We were spending the whole month with them."

"I'm sorry, sweetie," I sighed. "Can I give you a hug?" She nodded and I did. "Do you have anywhere to go for the holidays? Any family in Chicago?"

"No," Lela nodded. "I moved here for him. His whole family moved here for him." I looked at her. "I loved him."

"Hey, you can find a better guy," Kelly jumped into the conversation. "If he had Tina on the side, who knows how many more girls he had."

"Yeah, he's right," I replied. "Hey, why don't you come to Molly's tonight?"

"What's that?" Lela asked.

"It's a bar, and I'm actually hosting a party there tonight. It's almost like a Friendsgiving. I don't have any family here either. My family are the people I work with," Logan smiled. "It is an RSVP event, but I'm sure I can make an exception just for you."

"Do you need any help moving anything out of his place?" I asked.

"No, I got my own apartment. Thank God," Lela sighed. "Uhm, yeah. I guess I'll see you later today."

"Hey, don't be a stranger," I smiled . I handed her my card. "You know how to get ahold of me now."
