Logan's p.o.v.
So, yeah. This seems kind of...well...I don't really know what to say.
How often do two people with completely fucked up pasts, well, for one, find each other in this great big world, and for two, come to care for one another, and open up about their mutually fucked up pasts, like it is all going to be just fine?
It is Saturday, and obviously, neither of us has any plans. I never really have any, but I wouldn't have made any anyways, because I wasn't sure exactly what last night was going to turn into. It was more than I ever could have expected. Today was something even more. I never thought in a million years things would work out as they had. I knew the day would come, when someone would come along, and I would no longer be able to brush them off, or just have a fling, but this had happened so quickly.
We had done a little making out after the talk, but then just laid down on the couch, her holding me, and she had fallen asleep. She had been up a good portion of the night, even more so than myself, so I understood. This was something very new to me as well. I didn't cuddle or anything, with anyone. Right now, though I knew sleep would evade me, I had no want to get up. Not a single reason could I find to be anywhere other than right here. I felt safe and secure. Her body pressed so close to mine, her breath on my neck as she exhaled, I never wanted this to end.
For years, I had been told that love would find me. I wouldn't be expecting it, or looking for it, it would just slap me in the face. Every time something like this was said, it was answered with a laugh. There was no way that it was going to happen. I wasn't going to let it. I had had enough pain in my life that I was not about to add to it, by the heartache that is love.
Now, I can only laugh again, but for different reasons. The moment Ashley had come into my view, I knew that I would chance all the heartache and pain, for this woman. I knew it would never be, but my heart just didn't seem to give a damn about that. I know it sounds cliche, but that is how it is. Finding this...this amazing feeling that surrounds me now...there is no going back. Even if it ends badly. Even if it all comes crashing down around me. I know that the moments that occur before until that time, will make this all worth it in the end.
I didn't realize it, but I guess I laughed out loud while thinking these things, because Ashley stirred, and asked me what was so funny. Turning around, facing her, I didn't know what to say, so I just kissed her. No way was I telling her all that was going through my mind right now. Before the kiss could go any further, I pulled back.
"Let's do something." I wanted to spend time with her, getting to know her. I sure didn't want this to become just about sex. Sex is good and all, and used to be the most important thing I was looking for from someone, but it was all different now.
"Got anything in mind?" Ashley was still half asleep, but smiling the whole time. She was so cute, eyes half open, hair slightly a mess.
"Not a clue. I'm still pretty new here, and I don't know what there is to do here, except you." I added this last bit, because I wanted to see her blush. It worked. I saw her face go beet red before she hung her head. "I was playing. Sort of. So, bring your head back here to me, and get to thinking about what you are gonna do with me today." I lift her head, give her a quick kiss, and go to sit up. She pulls me back down, and gives me a proper kiss. Her lips feel so good against mine. I could get lost in this, but I really want to do something with her. I pull away from her once again.
"Fine. Since you don't want me...." She gives me a fake hurt look, smiling through it. "Let's go get dressed properly, and we will go somewhere." She gets up off the couch, and holds her hand out to me, to help me up. She has to be the most thoughtful person I have ever met.
I can't wait to just hang out with her, getting to know her better.
This day is going to be great.
