A Forgotten Promise

CHAPTER TEN

"Anne?"

Anne bolted upright in bed, totally confused as to what had awakened her. The room was dark and cold, without the slightest hint of sun outside the curtains.

She smelled the manly scent of the room. Then it hits her that she was still in Logan's room.

"Hey babe! Did you hear me?"

It was Logan. "No, what? Is something wrong?" she felt groggy from waking so abruptly.

"No, nothing. You just need to take your medicine."

Then she remember the accident she had yesterday,  and she fell in a deep sleep after the doctor treated her.

"You stayed awake the whole night just by watching me?" she asked when she noticed the dark circles in his eyes.

Logan slightly scratched his head, looks like its was hard for him to admit it.

"Sort off. You got me worried. You were keep tossing and turning on the bed like you're in too much pain."

"Thank you." she smiled at him.

Feeling every bit of her veins were so alive. She really missed a moment like this.  Its been a long time since she saw Logan cared for her.

"Don't stare at me like that, seems you're accusing me of something."

His statement was so intriguing, and that made her suspicious to him. She really knows him, if he was guilty on something or in anything it was very hard for him to hide it.

"Well, I don't. But why you look so guilty." she chuckled.

"There's nothing I can guilty about. Come on, take your medicine." he simply said and turned toward the bedside table to get her medicine.

"Okay, but I intend to revealed it." she giggled.

Logan slightly shook his head while he smoothened his nape then he faced back at her.

"Okay! Okay! I broke your phone! I'm sorry it slipped in my hand. Its annoying, keep ringing all night." he said guiltily.

His handsome face turned to too much redder.

"What!" she yelled when she remember she had to call some of their suppliers. "I need my phone, give it back to me, Logan."

"Later, lets have our breakfast first."  he said then stalked back outside his room.

Anne slowly rose on the bed and followed Logan in the dinning room, but when she entered the room he was already out, she only met Martha while busy preparing their breakfast.

"Good Morning Martha, did you see Logan?" she smiled to the middle age woman.

Martha smiled back at her and showed her to sit.

"He leaves the house a moment ago, he seems in a deep hurry. I guess he needs to attend some important matter. Don't mind him, just take your breakfast."

"But its still dark outside, only five in the morning."

The maid just rose her two shoulders then continued her work.

"Okay, thank you Martha."

ANNE walked out and around the side of the house after she ate her breakfast. The structure was pretty in its simplicity. Large and rectangular, it had several dormered windows and long porches along the two sides which faced the barn and outbuildings. Its lack of woman's touch, though. Even the dormers dark-shadowed eyes staring out the land.

She almost stumble over a root or a hole when she noticed Logan was looming over the bushes of Sampaguita in front of his room.

She slowly stalked toward Logan and stood beside him while he was still busy on finding something over the thick bushes.
