Our Lock Bridge

My Past

Hey guys! Author here: So I observed that there are more reads on chapter 5 than are on chapter 4 of this story. So, I just wanted to let you know that I have published chapter 4 before this one and this one is chapter 5. So in case, you have missed chapter 4, pls go ahead and read it first as it is all connected. Thanks. Now let's get into the story!

It was the end of the college day. I soon advanced towards the library. As I entered the library, I saw him sitting there. I moved towards him and sat on the seat next to him. 

"Be punctual from the next time. You are 10 minutes late. I can't spend so much time on it.", he said.

I just rolled my eyes expressing how annoyed I was because of that comment. But anyways I just went ahead and asked him, "Are you going to tell me your name now or you are still going to make a joke ?"

He looked at me, smiled, and said, "Logan.....Logan Kai Martinez. Now may I have the opportunity to ask your name, Angelita?"

"It's Valerie Catherine Parker."

"That's a nice name Ms. Parker. Can we start our work now?"

I moved my face in agreement. 

We discussed the project for a long time and before we knew it was already 6 PM. Logan wanted to call it a day but we were in the middle of a topic, so I asked him to stay for a little longer to complete the work. But he straight up denied and told me that we would meet the next day in the library to continue the work.

But before he could leave, the librarian came to us and told us that the library was closed for the next week as some renovation work had to be conducted.

"So should I come to your house tomorrow?", I asked.

"NO", he screamed.

I was caught off guard by that. I was for sure not expecting him to scream about that. Not gonna deny, it was weird. 

"I mean....No. I will rather come to your house. I will just give you my phone number. Please message me your address, I will be there by 4 PM."

I  told him, Okay, and he quickly proceeded out of the library.

(Logan's POV)

I have never seen someone so innocent yet so fierce. A perfect combination of sexiness and classiness. She has got that spark in her green eyes that attracts me towards her. I have never been attracted to someone since......well, I would rather not discuss that now. This attraction is dangerous. I can't let her in my life. I need to get rid of whatever is going on with me. I have been destined to have only pleasure with girls and not let them in my heart. 

I soon reached home and what I saw is nothing new to what I experience on a daily basis. 

"Why are you so late? I want more money. You haven't given me any in a weak.", yelled my alcoholic father.

My mom died while giving birth to my little sister Oaklynn. Oaklynn is 15 years old now. But because of my mother's death, my father was so sad and destroyed that he got into alcohol and drugs. Since then, all he does is do drugs and have alcohol. Missing my mom, he totally forgot about both his children. I was 6 years old when my sister was born and since then, it's like I have lost both my parents. I started working since I was just 12 years old for an old man in a bakery. I hid my family's condition because otherwise, the authorities would have sent me and my sister into the foster care system. And I didn't want that because, how so ever, he was my father and after losing my mother, I at least wanted the physical presence of one of my parents. 

And yeah, one more thing is that I have never told my sister how our mother died.....at least not until now and I know that one day I will have to do it. But I have always been scared of her blaming herself for our mother's death. It's difficult to even think about it. Once I was 18, I started working in a bar as a manager. Since then, I have been working there and I am 21 now. I generally do the evening shifts after completing college. My father knows about it and the only time he talks to me is when he wants money to buy alcohol and get drunk and lay around in the house doing nothing. 

"I don't have any money left. Every single cent has been spent on buying food.", I said. He was really drunk, so he fell asleep and thus it was easy to convince him. Otherwise, I have to give him money as he threatens to kick me and my sister out. And with my sister, it would be a lot more difficult to find a different home and at the same time, though he isn't the best father ever but I still love him and I don't want to leave him all alone. 

Anyways, it was already time for me to go to work and that is what I did. I can't miss work or be late as it is a big risk of me losing my job. 

Once I came back from work, I studied for a bit since I needed to keep my grades up as that is the only way of me receiving a scholarship to complete college.
