A Forgotten Promise

CHAPTER TWENTY

"Still dark!" Anne whispered while silently staring at Logan's white and gray granduer mansion. His house was totally dark indication that theres no one inside the house.

She was camping outside his house for about eight hours now while waiting for his return. His male friends including his closest friend, Claire, conveyed to her that he's currently out of the country for a huge business deal and any day this week he'll probably come home.

And now, here she is patiently waiting inside her car. Eagerly wanted to meet him for she had decided to sort out their misunderstanding. Hours had passed, that she couldn't wait any longer to be with him again.

"Where are you?" she sighed and hopelessly stared at her wrist watch. " One twenty two in the morning." and now she felt her eyes starting to shut down.

After more minutes of endless waiting, sleep succesfully defeated her even she had been tried to wouldn't fall sleep.

Hours had passed and morning had came--she graciously awaken by the warm sunlight that went through to her car window.

She immediately covered her eyes using her right palm and excitedly gazed toward Logan's tall iron gate. After her vision adjusted from too much sunlight her eyes unexpectedly catched someone at the veranda.

Her eyes rolled! And there he is! Standing barefoot in his gray pajamas while holding a cup of tea or maybe a cup of coffee. He was too hot like a bright sunlight.

Anne hurriedly fixed herself, she combed her hair and redo her make up. It just only took a minute to freshened herself. Now, she's ready to claim him back.

But when she was about to open her car door a black SUV suddenly parked in front of his house then a blond lady of her age emerged from the car.

The lady freely went in using a spare key. She felt stunned but afterward her heartbeat goes up to the point of she wanted to throw up.

She knew jealousy was their one major problem from the past. So this time she wouldn't let jealousy consumed her.

Clad with much more confident she went out of her car and without a second thought she pressed the doorbell twice.

After a minute the service gate opened widely and she faced the two six footer bulky men. They looked at her from head to toe carefully assessing her like if she was one of those bad guys who could possibly harm their boss.

"What I can do for you ma'am?" finally one the bulky man opened his mouth.

Seriously, she was thinking that these men wouldn't bulge even she would try to politely spoke to them so came up with a little stupid decision.

Anne charmingly smiled and immediately laid her intention. "I came for Logan. Please tell him its Claire."

White lie couldn't make you a criminal. And she'll just asked an apology to Claire later by using her name.

"One moment ma'am I'll just convey your message to our boss." the other bulky man said and hurriendly went inside the granduer mansion.

She slowly nodded and silently waiting outside the gate. And then realization hits her. Their situation completely changed. Like now, she first needs to undergo a thorough screening from his bodyguards before she could meet him. Unlike before that she could freely met him whenever she wanted.

She really miss the sweaty old Logan that didn't afraid of the dirt even it will covered his whole body.

The bulky man immediately return in a glimpse and he directed her inside the mansion and offered a seat on the lavish recieving area.

"The boss will see you in a minute." the bulky man said. And right after he thanked him the bodyguard immediately vanished in her sight.

A minute turned into more minutes. Agony of waiting made her sleepy especially that the couch was so tempting. And because of uncomfortable sleep from the last night she had decided to just closed her eyes for a minute while waiting for him.

A deep sleep brought her to a sweet beautiful dream. She felt of a warm body carried her with protectiveness and a sweet baritone voice whispered a beautiful words to her ear.

Then she felt like she was being laid her on the soft bed and someone covered her body with a thick blanket. And the presence of this someone gave her much more of a warm feeling.

Her beautiful dream continued and she wished not to wake up. Because... in her dream, Logan was there--enermously loving her.

But like in any other dream she was destined to be wake up even she choose to not to.

Anne slowly opened her eyes and looked around. A gray colored huge room and a manly black and white king size bed told her that she was not in her own room.

Panicked was the first emotion that kicked her in. In a flashed she jumped out of the bed--checking herself.

She was okay and seems nothing happened to her body. After a moment of assessing herself, gladly she can freely take a breath.

She started to walk around. Looking for something, and recognation filled her in when her attention got by the man at the picture frame on the bed side table proudly stared back at her.

Logan!

She was in his room! Goodness! How she ended in his room? Then she remember that she came here to meet him.

"I need to see him!" she panickly whispered then hurriedly turned toward the double door but the moment she was supposed to grab the door handle she noticed a white small note paste on the door.

Anne immediately snatched the note and carefully read it.

And it says:

Don't dare to move even in an inch. I'll come to you right after my meeting! ---Logan

She couldn't help not smile the way Logan wrote the note. It was Logan's way, possessive and bossy. She really missed these Logan's unique characters. These things might be an absurb to others but for her it was his statement on how to show his deepest love toward her.

If she could just given a chance to be with him again. She will wholeheartedly love him for the rest of their life. She was truly understood his deepest emotion in where it came from. Logan was just hungry for the attention and love for he had been lonely for the past lonely years after his parents tragic accident.

Anne intently swore to herself that she will be more sensitive toward his feelings. No more secrets, no more lies and no more heartaches. She'll to be his armor and confidant'e like they were before. No matter what happen he's with her.

She couldn't wait for his return... He couldn't wait to be with him.
