Forever and Always

Chapter 9 (Aria)

Let's just say Ella just about passed out when she saw Logan and I walking into class hand in hand together. I filled her in on everything that happened and what not. We listen to the teacher and then we hear the bell ring. Logan and Ethan walk over to us and Ella gives him a look.

"So what are y'all doing now?" Ella asks us.

"I think we're going to stop by to see Logan's mom then stop to see my mom. After that I'm not sure." I tell her and Logan snakes an arm around my waist.

"I think there's a party tonight if yall want to come. It's open for anyone in the school." Ethan tells us before looking at his phone.

"We can definitely do that, I think It'll be good." Logan says to him.

"Me too. How's Elesia been? I miss that little gremlin." I ask Ella.

"She's good. She's been trying to talk more the last few days and it's been a lot of fun to watch her."

"That's good. We need to hangout this weekend at some point and do some stuff while these two boys are away." Logan laughs and Ethan just shakes his head.

"Yes I agree. Let's go catch my mom while she's on her break so yall can chat. We will see yall later at the party." Logan gives Ethan a handshake and Ella a hug. I give Ethan and Ella both hugs before we head out to his truck. He opens the door for me which makes me smile. We both toss our bags into the back then he hops into the driver's seat and starts the car. Getting to his house a bit later we get out of the car and walk inside.

"Hey kiddo I'm upstairs in the kitchen." We walk upstairs to the kitchen and see his mom sitting at the counter. "Oh my goodness, look who it is." She gets up and we both hug.

"Hi Christine how have you been?" I ask her while smiling.

"I've been good. How have you been. It's been a while?" She asks me ushering me to sit at the counter next to where she is. Logan chuckles and watches us coming over to hug his mom.

"Hi mom." She laughs and hugs him back and I watch them together.

"How was class and everything with coach?"

"It was all good, he just told me that it's looking like I'm headed to be number one overall."

"That's amazing honey. I'm so proud of you." She smiles, kissing his cheek. He goes to do some other stuff around the house. "Now back to you sweetheart my apologies."

"You're okay, don't worry. But everythings been good, nothing really all that crazy if I'm being honest." I tell her and she smiles.

"How's everything going with Volleyball?"

"It's going well. You saw that we had won states. That meant a lot."

"Logan asked me to be there since your mom wasn't going to be able to. How is everything with her?"

"It's okay, she's getting stronger with her new medicine. So that's a good sign." I tell her and she rubs my hand.

"That's good to hear. Now what's with you and Logan. Did he finally make a move?" she asks me and I'm glad because it lightens up the mood.

"Yes he did. He brought me to the beach and asked me to be his girlfriend." I blush when I remember this morning.

"He did good, that's for sure." She smiles and Logan comes back into the room.

Looking at us he says. "Are y'all talking about me?" We both start laughing. "I'll take that as a yes." He comes kissing the top of my head.

"We wanted to just swing by and say hi before we head out again." Logan puts his arms on the counter and I watch as his muscles in his arms flex. "Babe, my eyes are up here." I swallow when he says that and he chuckles.
