Once we arrived home, we both took a well-deserved nap! However, I didn't sleep quite as soundly as Logan did. I was mentally and physically exhausted, but I couldn't get my mind to rest. It kept replaying everything that had happened over the past few days. Not only that, but I was also excited about our date. I tried to think of where we were going... What we were doing...
Movies? No... Too high school.
Coffee? Nah, too simple...
Maybe dinner at some fancy restaurant? Eh, highly doubt it...
Everything I came up with didn't seem quite right. Logan would want to impress me, but how? What could he possibly do that would impress me? I didn't even know the answer to that, so how could he?
"Where are you going?" Logan asks as I start to walk down the hallway.
"I'm going to get my phone so I can tell Andrea I'm back..."
"Oh, I'll get it for ya... Stay right there."
"Why?"
"I'm getting stuff ready for the date and you don't get to see it yet."
I contemplate on whether or not I want to play fair. "Alright... Fine. But hurry."
"Where is it?"
"Living room, on the couch... I think."
Within in a minute, he comes back and hands me my phone. "Now, run along."
"And when am I supposed to come out?"
"When I tell you to."
I don't argue, I just go back to my room, shut the door, and call Andrea. "Hey, girl! You're just the person I wanted to talk to! Are you back from your trip?"
"Yeah, I got back early this morning."
"Wonderful! I was going to let you know that I talked with the owner and she is really pushing for that title transfer! It should be done within the next few days!"
I was shocked. "That soon?"
"Yep, I'd say you'll be moving in within three to five days!"
"Wow, that's like way faster than I ever expected. But I'm so excited! So, I'll be hearing from you again soon?"
"Very soon. Have a nice day, Caroline." I hang up and toss the phone onto my bed. I go over to my door and crack it open.
"Logan! What am I supposed to wear?" I yell.
"I don't care!" He replies.
"I'm not asking for your opinion, I mean should I dress casual, dressy or-"
"Casual. Casual is fine."
I shut the door and go into my closet. Casual... I pick out a blue cotton top, capris, and some flip flops. I guess this is good enough.
