A Divine Lust {Stud×Fem}

xii. interested

tahiri

I didn't know whether Logan was alive or dead, an entire week and I haven't heard a word. But, the bait I set had worked. Her ass was shunning me and for that... I left her on read.

I sat in the studio coloring a canvas. Kofi was at lunch. Selina and Jaime were home.

The doorbell sounded. I looked over and saw the shunner entering. I halted and stared her down.

"I can delineate." Logan said. "You can choke too." I told her, averting back to the canvas.

"Is it that serious?" Logan asked, baffled. "You tell me. I'm not the one skimming texts." I answered, vexed.

"You know, for someone who wants to be friends—" Logan started.

"You can miss me with that shit."

"You should let me finish."

I hushed.

"—You sure are bothered." Logan ended. "That's because friends don't snub each other." I stated, arms crossed. "You communicate... with the reason."

Logan snatched a stool and sat near me. "I was dealing with some shit and wanted to be alone, that's the reason."

"Ok. You feel better now?" I asked. "No, but... an embrace could make me."

"You aren't slick at all."

Logan smiled. I embraced her... and it felt marvelous. I tried to move, but she wouldn't let me. "I'll need a few more minutes."

I exhaled and let her have them. "You want the foot rub now?" I smiled. "I'm at work."

"Mm, well, can we have a date? ...a real one?"

I fell silent, I wasn't looking for this.

"Tahiri?"

Oh, fuck it, she never wanted to be friends, I was an idiot to force that on her when I knew damn well I was interested, too.

I didn't want it to be true, but if I wasn't attracted to her, she would not be here.

I was in denial.

"Yes." I answered. Her face looked starstruck. "You mean that?"

"Yes... let's have a date."

"Oh, shit. You're in for a fucking ride."

"You never have a dull moment, huh?" I asked. "I like to entertain." Logan smirked.

"I have to finish this canvas." I said. "I'll find a location for our date." Logan told me. I bobbed. Logan said farewell and left.

I looked towards the office and clocked Kofi at the door. "You're meddlesome." I told him.

Kofi smiled. "Ms. Dasalan has a date."

"Oh, don't start." I mumbled.

Kofi walked over, still smiling. "I want to hear all about how this started."

"I need to finish this." I said, viewing the canvas. Kofi sat on the stool. "You can multitask." I stared at him.

"I'm all ears." He added.

I resumed coloring and elaborated on how the rascal and I met, she was and still is such a nuisance.
