If True Love Exists

Chapter 17

A/N I've included the song The Way I Loved You by Taylor Swift, it captures the idea and inspiration behind this chapter!

"So I'm not totally sure what this is going to be like, but I think it's just a bunch of bands and independent artists performing" Logan said.

"That sounds really cool!" Willa said enthusiastically.

The Coffee House was packed, Logan put a hand on Willa's back and guided her to a table.

"I'll go get our drinks" He said leaving, he came back holding two coffee cups. He handed her one and she took a sip, wondering what he had gotten her.

"How did you know I loved pumpkin spice!" She asked pleasantly surprised that he had gotten her her favorite drink.

"I don't know, I just guessed." Logan said looking equally surprised.

The first band came out and they sat next to each other, enjoying the music and each others company.

Willa unlocked her door smiling. It had been a perfect night. Logan was such a nice guy. He had picked her up, opened her car door, paid for all expenses, and complimented her outfit, besides the fact that he was gorgeous. Guys like that didn't come around very often. She sat down at the end of her bed and posted a selfie they had taken on Instagram. She was looking forward to spending more time with Logan.

"What did you think?" Logan asked they left the movie theater.

"It was interesting..." Willa laughed.

"Hey, at least it was funny!" He joked. They both laughed. It was their fifth or so date, and they had seen a random movie at the movie theater. They drove back to campus casually talking. Logan walked her to her door.
"I've been having a great time hanging out with you" He said staring into her eyes.

"Yeah, it's been so fun" She said trying to ignore the intensity of his gaze.

"I'll call you soon?" He asked speaking softly.

"Yeah," she said smiling.
He leaned down, and he kissed her. It was short kiss. He straightened and smiled.

"I'll see you soon." He said walking away.

She waved. She went into her room. Elisa lay on her stomach across her bed, music playing softly.

"How was your date?" She asked.

"It was good." Willa said absently.

"Just good?"

"No, no it was great."

"Why are you so tuned out, you have like the hottest guy ever dating you."

Willa was still deep in thought. He had kissed her. The sweet, funny and insanely handsome Logan had kissed her and she felt nothing. No butterflies in the stomach, no lightheaded dreaminess. None of the things she felt when Philby kissed her. Philby. Why was she still thinking about him! Why did she compare every experience with Logan to one she had had with Philby. She inwardly sighed.

"Willa, I don't how you get so many people in love with you, here I am friend zoned by the only guy I've ever truly had any feelings for."

Elisa's rambling pulled Willa out of her thoughts.

"Who's that?"

"Have you really not picked up on the fact that I have a huge crush on Tyler?" She asked desperately.

"Wait really?" Willa asked incredulously sitting down next to Elisa "Spill, I need to hear about this."
