Chapter 24 Hold on Tight

November 7, 2011

Sloane nudged Logan again, he was snoring and smelled like Scotch. Every night for the past two weeks, Logan returns late from his "office" reaking of the liquor that he loved to drink..

"What.. Sloane ..." Logan rolled over and returned to sleep. Sloane got mad and kicked him again. Logan sat up and looked at her.

"What is your problem?" he said, suddenly feeling very dizzy. He slowly got up and walked into the kitchen taking a bottle of water out of the refrigerator, he drank it and walked back into the bedroom.

"You know Sloane, this is my apartment and there is no reason for you to stay. You can leave anytime since we had our obligated one night of sex last night."

"Logan, I' m sorry Baby," she whined. "You were snoring and I couldn't sleep."

She got out of bed and walked towards him, reaching for a hug. Logan flinched when she came towards him and moved away. He detested her and wondered why he agreed to this arrangement anyway. Logan had no idea why he was with Sloane since she was so dull, jealous and clingy. Her behavior at Robert's Gallery last week was embarrassing for him and his family. He was tired of her and tired of going to the club looking for something or someone to help him forget about Rory and Finn.

He glared at her and said, "Sloane, go home! I don't want you in my bed any more! I have a meeting with my father tomorrow, so the sooner you leave, the sooner I can go back to sleep."

"Alright Logan, but I expect to hear from you tomorrow," she answered him angrily.

She quickly walked over to the small closet he let her use and pulled a dress on over her nightgown. Logan climbed back into his bed and laid on his side closing his eyes so that he did not have to look at her in her boring lingerie. He listened as she walked out to the door and was relieved when he heard the door shut behind her. He couldn't go through with this fake marriage anymore. He needed to talk to someone about this phony engagement and wedding. Rolling over on his back he reached over and picked up his phone.

It was 2 am in London, and 9pm in the states, in the past he would pick up his phone and type in Finn's number, they would make plans for the weekend to meet at one of his families clubs where they would party and pick up girls. In the past three years, Finn and Logan had partied together and shared many women. They had an agreement only to share the girls they met at the Club. It was just sex. But now Logan couldn't call Finn anymore. He broke the Bro' code. Finn went and fell in love with the only girl that Logan ever loved.

Logan became addicted to sex after he broke up with Rory using it as a way to forget her. He was rich, handsome, and women would do anything he asked them to do. In 2009 he went to Amsterdam on business, and while he was there, he planned for Colin, Finn, and Robert to join him. The men went out for the next four nights and found some unique clubs that offered services that they all enjoyed. Once Logan went back to London he found some similar clubs, even joining one in London. He took Finn to the clubs a few times, but the spring of 2010, everything went wrong.

The two men were in California at one of the clubs where they had been partying with one woman and using drugs and mixing it with alcohol the whole week. When Liam and Mitchum couldn't reach the two men, they contacted Colin who finally found them. Colin and Finn's brother Angus, immediately took Finn back to Australia and Mitchum came and took Logan to a spa in California. Logan stayed there for three months, but once he was released, he went back to the clubs, which were a distraction for him since he was so unhappy with his life. Logan stopped using drugs, but the alcohol and sex was still something he craved and needed; and now after seeing Rory again, he knew that he couldn't keep up this fake engagement. He needed to get away from London and his father.
