Pumped-Up Kicks (A Logan Lerman Story)

Chapter 58

Telly's P.O.V.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Telly I expected better from you." Jase was lecturing me about running away with Logan. I watched him pace back and forth in front of me like a detective. To be honest all I heard was something about respect and safety and whatever the hell was popping off of his tongue. He sat down next to me on my loveseat and traced my fingers.

"You're acting as if I committed a crime." I rolled my eyes. "Its just sex. But then again that's nothing you've experienced...yet."

"Its a crime to Jared. He'll go apeshit on your ass and wind up killing both you and Logan."

"Jared can suck my ass. I don't give a shit about him and his pink ass head. To be honest he could be abducted by UFOs. Be sucked straight into the sky and I would not give one single ounce of a fuck." I spoke with my hands for emphasis. Jase's phone rang in his hand. His phone never rang. He looked at the screen and then back to me. He answered it and left the room. I waited patiently and twisted the earrings in my triple holed ears. He came back with an arrogance about him.

"Double date. In like an hour. Put on some presentable clothes. And pick a movie. Remie called dibs on a new ristorante italiano." He wiggled his eyes playfully.

"Quite impromptu. I literally just got out the shower an hour ago." I got up and walked into my closet with Jase following me. "So who's my blind date." We strolled over to my sweater and he pulled creme coloured ones. Non of them seemed up to par. I held a cropped red fluffy one up to my collarbone.

"Logan." He nodded like an idiot. "What should I wear. I really want to impress her."

"Get her a new pair of shoes and any girl would be impressed. Whats the new restaurant italien?" He took Italian and I took French.

"Its called Il Bistro. Its in downtown. Not too far unless you're Remie. She needs to live closer."  We strolled to my skirts and he had a winner. A white leopard skater skirt. Yay. "Please tell me that you're wearing something underneath. It's like flipping 22 degrees!" He threw a hand in his hair and sighed.

"Stop freaking out. Of course I'm putting something underneath. I'm Telly not Remie. My eyes don't change blue anymore." He silently turned me toward one of my many mirrors. Sure enough they were blue. Abnormally blue almost like Logan's. He pushed the freshly dyed dark auburn hair to the side. "They look like Logan's." He bear hugged me from behind.

"You're in love with Logan."

"Yeah." I nodded and stared at the image of us. He nestled his nose into my neck. "Jase. Why do you want me to be with Logan."

"Because he makes you happy. And I just want you to be happy." He let go of me and spun me by the shoulders. "Go get dressed and I'll be taking over your shower." He turned away and I heard water running a few seconds later. I sighed while sliding up black sheer pantyhose up my legs and putting on the rest of my clothes.

Carefully I straightened the sorta burgundy hair and made an effort to put on eye makeup. When Jase was out he helped me in picking over heels or riding boots. He argued with me for like 5 minutes before a visitor let themselves in. "Logan Tell her that riding boots and a skater skirt can't go together because in the fashion world riding boots only works with jeans." Jase pulled him by the arm and threw a judgemental look at my shoe selection.

"Jason stop being a diva and if you don't think they look good together than get me something else." He disappeared in the maze of shoes and I fell onto the chaise.

"Jase can be a diva." Logan shrugged and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "But I think you're a bigger one." He teased me.

"Am not. I just take pride in my fashion sense. And there is nothing wrong with riding boots and a skirt." I shouted the last part so Jase could hear. "When is Remie getting here? I'm hungry." I rested my head on his shoulder.
