Vodka Kisses

0603- Songs of Experience

I was up, way before my alarm, watching Logan get ready for work.

It's one of my favourite things to do.

"You look hot." I tell him as he puts on his suit jacket.

"You think?" He glances down at himself.

I climb out of bed and wrap my arms around his neck.

"I know." I kiss his lips.

I move my arms down from around his neck to finish his tie.

"I'll come over after work." Logan tells me. "I want to hear about your first day back."

"Okay." I nod and lean in to kiss him again.

"Have a good first day back, text me if you need me. I love you." He tells me after he pulls away.

"I love you too." I smile and he leaves my room.

Once he's gone I get ready for school, before I was taken I wasn't putting much effort into school. But today? Everyone will look at me. I need to look good.

Once I'm in a black skirt, I put on a crop top and one of Logan's shirts as a jacket.

I do my makeup and my hair. I even make my bed.

I put my laptop in my bag and before I can head downstairs my phone rings.

"Hey." I answer Emily's calls.

"Hi, are you going to school?" She asks.

"I'm getting ready but something doesn't feel right, I think I might need another day or so." I admit.

"You can take the day off." Emily tells me.

"How are things with Sara? Is she talking anymore about Andrew?" I ask.

"No, she just said that she doesn't think it's him, not much more." She tells me.

"Then is it him? I know Aria and Hannah think it's him, but I don't know. She was down there for way longer than us." I shrug.

"Grace! If you want a ride it's now or never!" My dad shouts.

I could drive myself, I just like the comfort of my dad dropping me off and picking me up. I won't make a habit of it, just today.

"I've got to go." I tell Emily before hanging up.

I grab my bag and shove my laptop in it before heading downstairs.

We drive to school with the radio playing.

When we pull up to school I don't get out of the car.

"No one's forcing you to go back if you're not ready." My dad tells me softly.

"I don't think I can ever go back there. All the guys and everyone looking at me." I shake my head.

"Then I'll take you home." He puts the car in drive.

"No I don't want to go home. I don't want to be there by myself." I tell him.

"Okay, then you're coming to work with me." He drives out of Rosewood and into Philly.

Once we get into Philly, we head up to his office.

My dad takes me to his office and I sit with him at his desk.

I have no idea what to do so I just sit there for a little looking around his office, I haven't been here in years.

He has a photo of mom and him on his desk along with a photo of me him and mom.
