New Start (Logan Lerman)

Ana's POV

(Los Angeles, CA. 12:10 pm)

Jude was asleep by the time Dan arrived. Lunch was ready so I joined him but not without my baby monitor.

Sofia, the family chef made gourmet pizza with goat cheese. It was absolutely amazing, the cheese melted in your mouth.

"Tomorrow. What are you doing?" Daniel managed to say with a bit of pizza in his left cheek. He swallowed and took a sip of water.

"I don't know, you tell me."

He nodded. "Well, I was thinking we could go buy everything you might've left behind."

"Thanks for the crib, by the way... And well, everything you've done for me."

"Pfft. Don't mention it." He smiled.

We were eating and talking about light subjects. Our dads have been friends since forever and have the same ideals. Since we were little we've been taught not to talk about business during dinner. This mostly comes from my family. It's an Italian thing.

But since he arrived I've been wanting to talk about the house I'm supposed to design.

Florentine, Dan's nana since he was born, took our empty plates and seconds later Sofia brought a crème brûle for each.

I grabbed my spoon and lightly tapped the top of my crême bûle and it cracked.

"Okay, let it out." Dan took a spoonful of his dessert.

"What?"

"C'mon. I know you wanna talk about something since I arrived."

This fucker knows me too damn well.

"About your friends... What is that they really want? I mean it's gonna be difficult to do this because I gotta get to know my clients."

"Okay, listen... Tomorrow I'm gonna give you Lou's email. Maybe you can talk to them, get to know each other and throw some ideas, sounds good?"

"Thanks."

Logan's POV

(London, 8:25 pm)

I arrived to my hotel suite. I locked the door and went full on naked. I walked towards the bathroom and took a hot shower. I didn't want to take too long since I'm already falling asleep.

When I got out of the shower I dried myself quickly and applied lotion all over my body. Mom always told me to do it. It wasn't since Ana and I began to live together that I made it into a habit.

I put on my boxers and I headed to my bed when suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

I hurried to the door and took a peak through that little door and to my surprise it was Olivia. Without hesitating I opened the door.

"Dude! I texted you a few times giving you a heads up I would be dropping by. Where's your phone?"

I then remembered I put it on silence since I got off the taxi a few minutes ago.

"Sorry. I have it on silent."

"Yeah. No shit."

She walked in and I closed the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Jack and I- we, um. Actually, I told him I needed some time."

"Do you wanna talk about it?"
