Unfinished Business

23

Logan:

Finally work was over and I was standing on the Tarmac at Heathrow International Airport. Finn and Collin would be meeting me that the Monte Carlo Bay Casino and Resort, where Finn had booked us reservation for the weekend in a three bedroom villa, and we would commence our lost weekend. I just had on thing left to do before leaving solid ground.

"Sir, we are just about ready for take off." The co-pilot said yelling over the noise of the engine.

"Okay. I just need a minute." I said.

I pulled my phone out of the pocket of my coat and scrolled down to Rory's number as I climbed the steps to board the jet. Once inside the cabin I pressed the call button.

It rang a couple times and then went to voicemail. She was probably busy with Logan or working on a piece.

"Hey Ace. Just wanted to touch base and see how everything is going. Sorry I haven't been able to call sooner things were slammed at work this week. I'm headed to meet up with the guys in Monte Carlo for the weekend. I hope Logan's doing well and I'll see you two in a couple weeks. I gotta go. Talk soon."

I hung up the phone and gave the pilot the go ahead to get us in the air. I ready to blow of some steam.

Rory:

"You did what?!" I yelled at my mom.

"I just gave Logan a little call." She said. Sipping her coffee.

"Why would you do that." I asked, completely confused by what she was thinking.

"Well I wanted to apologize for how we acted..." She said

"And..." I pushed.

"And to give his the push he needs." She said, looking away.

"Mom!" I yelled. "Why did you do this? Know what, nevermind. Mom can you just stay out of this."

"Actually, now I can. Logan and I were able to settle through our issues. So, yes. Now and can back off."

I eyed her with speculation and then got up to check my phone. Great I had missed the call I had been waiting a week for.

"Logan called." I said walking back out of the room.

"That's good." She said, as I listened to the message. When it ended I deleted it and put the phone down.

"He's going to meet the guys in Monte Carlo for the weekend." I said.

"Sounds like a good time." Mom replied watching me closely.

"What he didn't mention it to you during your talk."

"Nope." She said.

"But he did say he's excited to see us in a couple weeks. He's coming for Christmas." I told her.

"Okay. Do you want me to put a room on hold for him?"

"Um...yeah. Sure. Thanks mom." I said a little surprised.

Logan:

The towncar pulled in front of the hotel. Finn and Collin had told me that they would be meeting me there, due to the fact that we were all coming from different locations for around the globe. After graduation we all had to go our separate ways to apease our families and fall in line with the plans they had laid out for us all those years before we were ever thought of. So when we got the chance to come together we didn't waste a moment. Collin had stayed in the states, New York to be precise, to start the journey of taking over the family law practice and Finn had made his official home back in Australia to start work in the family finicial firm. Wait until I dropped the latest bomb on them, they probably wouldn't believe it.

I climbed out of the car and made my way up the steps before walking into the hotel lobby. The good part was, I wouldn't have to go through the tedious process of checking in at the desk, and it was a good thing too. I didn't have the patients right now to combat the women there. Normally I wouldn't mind, hell I'd probably even take one or two of them up on their offer. But ever since Rory waltzed back into my life things had changed, and they had to, not that I minded in the slightest. Rory was it for me. Well Rory and now Logan. I knocked on the door and waited.

"Logan!" Finn said as he let the door fly open. "Good to see you mate!" 

"Finn..." I replied, forcing a smiling on my face while trying to push all my other thoughts out of my head. I walked into the massive, yet modern space. Across the room I could see out where blue skies met the crystal clean blue water. This was exactly what I needed right now. 

"The last has finally arrived." Collin said waltzing into the room, with a woman attached to his side. "Thank you dear. I'll call if I need anything else." 

"Already up to no good I see." I said, settling on the couch.

"Oh no, you've got it all wrong." He said as she walked out of the room. "She was very good."

"I'll take your word for it." I said.

Finn and Collin glanced at each other, something was off. Normally Logan would have been highfiving his boys for the score. But right now, he barely seemed present. 

"Logan, what's going on? You don't seem yourself today." Collin said, becoming a bit more serious.

"Yeah man, what's got you all tied up. Can't be anything good considering the state you're in." Finn chimed in.

"Nothing I really care to discuss right now." I said getting up and walking to the wet bar. I could never really keep anything big from these two. They always figured it out. 

"Well if you don't come out with it, we'll have to pull it out of you ourselves." Collin said, as I threw back my scotch. It had been two weeks and I hadn't said anything to anyone. Telling them might do me some good. 

I poured another scotch and raised it in their direction. "Well congrats boys, I just made you uncles." Then threw second glass back just like the first, watching their jaws practically hit the floor.
