Don't Break Me Quarterback (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Five: The Smell Of Pine

Sam's Point Of View

*************************************

The smell of leather fills my nose as I finally relax in Logan's car. I steal a quick glance at him, his eyes are fixed on the road with a smile on his face. He may not send shocks throughout my body but even without the shocks he makes my heart skip a beat and stop. When I think about my life, I don't feel sad, I don't feel the need to seek out other people's pity. I am fine on my own. All I ever wanted to do was a writer and now; thanks to Hunter that task is impossible. I have nothing to write on! 

"What you thinking about?" Logan says softly as he takes a turn up a dark, bumpy road. Normally by now I would be thinking that there is a man with an axe waiting for me at the next turn but when I am around Logan I feel safe. 

"Hunter." I say with venom in my voice. Logan lets out a loud sigh as he takes a turn to the left which travels up a large mountain. 

"Even on our date he is here." Logan spits out. 

"Well it isn't my fault. Look." I say. "I promise I will try to forget about him." I say looking at Logan with the full truth glowing in my eyes. 

"Ok." Logan says as he stops the car, opens his door, steps out and walks around the front of the car and to my door, he opens the door and holds out his hand for me. I look at my surroundings, the sun is setting behind the tall redwood trees with a soft chirping of birds, the air is fresh and clean, no road signs in sight, just thick trees. 

"Where are we?" I ask with a wonder in my voice with a hint of excitement from the possibility of an adventure. Logan keeps his hand outstretched as he says; 

"Well why don't you take my hand and find out?" I hesitantly but gladly take his hand. His hand is rough with a tender but tight grip around my fingers. His scent floats elegantly around my nostrils, he smells like pine with a hint of mint. He lets go of my hand quickly before he opens the car bonnet and takes out a basket with a red blanket covering the food which I am guessing is inside. 

"So we are having picnic?" I say as he entwines are fingers again. Logan just nods and smiles as he leads me on a path which he seems to know well up the mountain.  

"Get on my back." Logan says suddenly as the walk gets steeper. I look at him and laugh. 

"What is this? Twilight?" I say as he stops and looks at me. "Oh shit you're serious?" I say shocked. Logan just nods his head and lowers his body so I can jump on. I am not Bella Swan, he knows that...right? With a loud whine I wrap my arms around his neck and when he stands up slowly I wrap my legs around his waist. 

"Hold on spider monkey." Logan says in a low tone matching Edwards. I laugh loud as Logan starts running full speed up the mountain without stopping for air once. The wind goes between my hair making strands fly all over the place, my glasses bounce lightly on my nose and his strong pine scent is attacking my nose driving me wild. I feel free! 

"How can you do this?" I ask trying to control my excitement but he just laughs and gets faster.  

"A lot of football practice and some magic." He says laughing as he clutches the basket more tightly. He jumps quickly over a log, this guy is crazy! Logan slowly starts slowing down as we come to a clearing which overlooks a glistening river. I slowly slide of his back once he has come to a halt. 

"How did you find this place?" I ask as I look at the sunset in the distance. I have to be careful where I walk because the cliffs edge is near and the fall down is a long one. 

"Family secret." Logan says as he un-rolls the blanket onto the floor and places food on the blanket, he also pulls out a bottle of champagne with two glasses. He looks eye contact with me as he clutches the cork and pulls it out with a satisfying pop, when the pop happens a smile forms on his slightly chapped lips. The smile is mesmerising, one side is risen higher than the other, his mouth his slightly open so I can see his pearly white smile.
