Chapter Twenty Two

C H A P T E R T W E N T Y T W O

            Lila woke up and snuggled into what she thought was a pillow until she could hear a heartbeat. She sat up before looking around and feeling a sense of deja vú. She looked to the body next to her and recognised it as Logan's before remembering the events of last night and smiling. This time, she wasn't going to fall off the bed and screaming.

            Lying back to and cuddling into Logan, she felt his arm wrap round her waist.

            “Mornin'.” He greeted, his voice was rough.

            “Hey.” She whispered back, kissing his cheek before lying back on his chest. Using her index finger, she traced patterns over him smiling when he shivered.

            “Still on the bed then?” Lila laughed, remembering the time that Logan was talking about; after the party. She found it weird that only a month had passed and so much had happened!

            “Fortunately.” Lila chuckled. She was about to relax when she realised what day it was. She almost smacked herself for forgetting. Who could forget Christmas?! “Logan?”

            “Mm?”

            “Merry Christmas!” She kissed him on the lips, enjoying the taste and feeling.

            “Mm. Merry Christmas to you too.” Logan murmured after Lila broke away from the kiss. He unwrapped his arm from her waist before turning around and getting something from under the bed. Lila took this as a chance to cover up the top half of her naked body. As he turned around, Lila spied a present.

            “What's that?” Lila asked, she already knew what it was. A present, for her. Well, she hoped it was for her. She didn't think he was going to buy a gift for Justin...

            “For you.” He handed it over and Lila smiled.

            “Thanks. Oh, and I have a present for you but, er, I don't know where Missy put it.” She shrugged and held the present delicately. She didn't know what was in it.

            “You mean last night wasn't my present?” Lila turned red and shook her head. Logan said he'd liked it, but Lila was still embarrassed; she blamed Missy for the beginning but she was getting embarrassed by herself by the end of the night. Especially after screaming a certain someone's name...

            “It was part of your presents.” She sighed and fiddled with the edges of the wrapping paper. “Can I open this now? I'm not patient with gifts.” She smiled sheepishly.

            “Yeah, of course you can.” Lila smiled and pecked Logan's cheek before carefully unwrapping the present. She loved the wrapping paper, with the cute little cartoon reindeers and fat Santas. As she finished pulling of the wrapping paper, she saw a little rectangular box and glanced at Logan, who was lying down casually watching her reaction. She turned away and opened the box, expecting anything.

            She gasped as she took in the necklace. It was absolutely beautiful. On a silver chain was a square locket with a sapphire embedded into the middle. She turned it over and saw the words 'Te Amo' engraved. She grinned as she turned back to Logan.

            “Thank you! It's so pretty! I feel slightly cheap now because of what I got you. It doesn't compare to this.” She took the necklace gently out of the box and held it delicately in her hand, watching it twinkle as it spun around by itself.
