CHAPTER 18

We had just had a huge Christmas dinner with a turkey and everything when Logan asked Charles if he could excuse us from the dinner table. Charles gave a brief nod, a smile plastered on his face from all the joy and merriment as he did so. As soon as we were out of the kitchen, Logan took my hand and led me out to the mansion's gardens. Many of the bushes and cicadas' trees hiding us from prying eyes. "What are you up to?" I asked whilst trying to catch the laughter bubbling in my throat. "You'll see." He smirked as he turned to face me for a moment, before continuing to lead me over to a clearing. The blanket from last night was there, and what I assumed was Scott's boom box too. "Oh my god. You're such a softie." I laughed. "Oh, you don't want to get on my mean side princess." Logan nick named me, but I stiffened. That's when he remembered. "Sorry, I didn't mean to-" "It's okay." I interrupted the destructive thoughts. After all the happiness and fun, I've had today, I didn't want it to get tainted by my impending responsibilities.

Logan laid us back down on the blanket once again, watching the stars come out as the sun faded from view. "This has been one of the best days of my life." I found myself saying, squeezing Logan's hand in mine as I did. "Really?" He grinned at me. "Well, it's about to get better." Logan grunted as he got up to turn the boom box on. Maroon 5's 'She will be loved' started to play softly. "You know how much I like Maroon 5." I chuckled as he got up, holding his hand out to help me up too. I took the silent invitation to dance with him and we slowly danced for a while.

'I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door

I've had you so many times but somehow I want more'

Logan placed his hand on the curve of my waist as he kept our fingers intertwined with our other hands. Whereas my other hand hovered over his other shoulder before I gave in to the temptation. This day was so perfect, I didn't want to ruin it with my fears of commitment now.

'I don't mind spending every day

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile'

I started to sing along to the lyrics silently as Logan spun me gently away from him and then back into his awaiting body. "God, I love your voice..." he whispered as he rested his forehead on mine. I chuckled at this offhand comment, breaking my steady rhythm from singing the song. "Shut up." I mumbled as we fell back into a peaceful reverie.

'Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved'

As the song came to an end, I realised how close Logan's face was to mine and started to shiver due to the close contact. The hand holding me slowly trailed a path upwards, over my shoulder, up my neck and finally resting on my cheek. "I feel like I imprinted on you the day we met too." He said. I sighed, a slightly aroused feeling pooling in the pit of my stomach. But I knew what would happen if me and Logan did it. We were both wild animals deep down and it would not end well. I would probably tear his head off due to all the adrenaline...hopefully it would grow back, but that's not the point. "I love you." The words fell from my lips without a second thought. I watched the delighted shock fall into Logan's eyes as the words registered in his mind. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you." He breathed across my lips, drawing me in. "I can imagine." I lisped back as he came closer and closer to my awaiting lips.

But then Kurt had to ruin the moment by bamfing right next to us. "Hey guys I uh-AH! SORRY!" he saw what was about to happen and bamfed away again. Me and Logan had shot away from each other again. This sucked. "That ruined the moment didn't it?" I frowned. "Kind of...yeah." Logan agreed with me, an equally grumpy look on his face. "Well...there's always new year's?" I suggested awkwardly. "Heh...yeah." Logan sighed, pulling me back into his body for a long cuddle. "You are a softie though." I sighed into his skin. "Don't let that get to your head Wolfe." Logan smirked as he called me by my last name, making me laugh again.
