" Logan please give me my phone. " He ignored me and slide his finger across the screen before pressing my phone to his ear. I sat there and listened to the one sided conversation while I stared down at my hands.
" She doesn't want to talk to you. "
" She's not yours! She's a grown woman who doesn't belong to anybody! "
" Stop calling her that! She's not your property and she doesn't deserve to be treated the way you treat her! She is not a dog!"
" No! She's not going anywhere near you! "
" Your not coming here either! "
" Oh yeah? Try me. "
He ended the call breathing in deeply through his nose. I shrunk against the bed post watching his every movement. He was scaring me. His hands clenched together then released over and over again as his body shook violently. " Logan. " I squeaked. His eyes finding mine I saw him relax a bit. Even so I remained frozen on the bed. He walked towards me at a quick pace. " Please don't! " I cried bringing my knees to my chest and buried my face in my arms. I didn't want to be hurt again especially not by Logan. " I'm sorry! I won't do it again! " I cried through my sobs. I can't go through it again.
" I'm not going to hurt you. I would never hurt you. "
I lifted my head to look at him only to see him looking away from me and I watched in awe as a single tear trailed down his cheek. He was crying. I don't want him to cry. Here he was trying to take me under his wing yet I was pushing him away. Gently I touched his face. I wanted him to look at me. Seeing him cry made me want to cry for him. He wasn't meant for this, the tears I mean. I don't want him to use them on me seeing as that would be waste since he would just need more. I laid my head on his shoulder. It was warm I felt his arm circle around me. " I'm sorry I scared you. It was the things he was saying about you it...it made me angry." I turned his face to mine," It's okay. " I whispered. I know he still didn't believe me because he changed the subject. " You still hungry? " I sighed and smiled. " Yeah."
***" These pancakes are delicious!" I exclaimed before stuffing the last piece of my third pancake in my mouth. He chuckled lightly at me. " What's funny? " I pouted making him laugh harder. I didn't like being laughed at it makes me feel worthless. I remember the last time I was laughed at was when Matthew left me alone when he locked me out of the house with only my underwear to cover me. I put my head down in shame to hide my face. Logan's fingers slipped under my chin as he gently began to lift it so that I can look up at him. " You don't have to be like that. " his smile wavered a little in regret as his hand moved to my cheek I felt something being wiped away.
" It was just whip cream. " I nodded his hand still resting on my cheek.
" Do you really think I would make you feel like that intentionally?" I stayed quiet. All of a sudden a whole plate of syrupy pancakes came down on Logan's lap. " Sorry." The waiter said to Logan but the way he said it didn't say sorry at all and he looked familiar. " It's fine, I'll just go to the bathroom..." Logan said walking away. " And Mercury... " I didn't look at him, " I'm not him... I'm not Matthew. " he walked through the bathroom door. I groaned dropping my head on the table. I was on the verge of tears. I know he's not like him, I know he's not like Matthew but that's what scares me. What if he ends up hurting me more than Matthew does. I don't know how to love. I don't even know what love is. What if it's not really love at all. I shook the thought away as I heard the screech of the chair across from me.
" Logan I-" My words caught in my throat. Suffocating me I suddenly couldn't breath.
" Hey babe! So tell me how is my sexy slut?" He said with an evil smirk on his face.
