Rags And Riches

Astonished

Logan's Point of View!

Next-Day!

I haven't talked to him and I won't.  I don't want anything to do with him how can you possibly try to kiss me with another woman in your bed.  It looked like they were about to be intimate. I mean, of course, he's far from a virgin with a child but I didn't expect him to just be having sex with any and everyone. Anyways I finally was able to get out of bed after crying all night. I got dressed and went downstairs. I sat down at the table with my family. " Goodmorning sweetie. I didn't hear you come in last night.  How'd you sleep " Mummy asked?  " Fine," I said not really in the mood for chatter. " What's wrong," Mummy asked?  " Nothing I have to go.  The community center is about to open.  I've already missed a week " I said getting up grabbing my coat. " Wasting your time still.  I don't know why I thought you going with your Grandmum would wake you up " My Father spoke.  " I don't know why I thought you would listen to me when I said you don't care about the people unless they live above Brixton, " I said grabbing my car keys and leaving. I got inside my car and drove to the Community Center.

When I arrived I got out and locked my door.  When I was walking towards the door I heard a scream.  I turned around and saw Isabella.  She ran and jumped on me.  " I haven't seen you in forever little Izzy.  How are you " I asked smiling picking her up hugging her?  " I missed you so much. I haven't stopped wearing the Tiara since you gave it to me.  Daddy just won't let me wear it out of the house " Izzy said looking at Luke.  " I'm sure," I said laughing.  Izzy walked inside after I put her down and I started walking in after her once I realized it was just me and Luke outside.  Before I could get inside Luke stopped me.  " Please just let me talk to you.  Let me explain. Something, I don't wanna lose you baby girl " Luke said. I sat back and listened.  " Look I was wrong for having shorty at the house.  I didn't think you would just be showing up at my house " Luke said.  " So because you didn't think I would show up you decided to do it behind my back " I scoffed.  " No that's not what I meant. I didn't think you wanted me.  I didn't want to keep trying and make myself look stupid " Luke said.  " Why did you keep me in that house and you knew she was there, " I asked?  " Because when you walked in that door every thought of any other girl disappeared and all I could think about was how beautiful you looked and how pissed I was, " Luke said.

I started blushing. " I never meant to make you cry.  I never meant to hurt your feelings " Luke continued.  " I don't know what to say, " I said looking down.  " Don't say anything right now.  Come over after work. We can spend some time together. I'll cook.  We'll watch movies and get some snacks and things " Luke said. " Will Izzy be there," I asked?  " No.  She'll be at grandma's and I'm not asking.  I'll see you after work baby girl " Luke said walking off.  I  walked into the center and started helping with the kids.  Time flew by fast and by the end of the day all the kids were gone including Izzy and I had just finished cleaning up and headed to Luke's house.  When I arrived at Luke's home his car was in the driveway.  I got out and walked up to the door and knocked.  Less than a minute later he answered and let me inside.  It was a heavenly smell coming from the kitchen.  " It smells so good in here," I said smiling.  " Thanks, baby girl I'm cooking Roast Lamb and Potatoes.  Hope you're hungry.  It's almost done " Luke said.  " Starved," I said walking in fully.  " Good.  You can take your shoes off if you want " Luke said grabbing my Keys and putting them on the table.  " Sure, Should I check the bedroom, " I said making a joke before taking off my shoes.  " Oh, you got jokes " Luke chuckled.  " A few, " I said going to sit down. 

Luke brought out our plates and we sat at the table and began to eat.  " This is delicious you can cook, " I said shocked.  " Yes, you don't have the mom I do and don't know how to cook, " Luke said smiling.  " So tell me about your family," I said.  " Not much to tell.  There's me Izzy and my mom.  I had a brother but he died a couple of years ago " Luke said.  I could tell it was an uncomfortable subject so I changed it.  " What's your relationship with Izzy's mum?  I don't see her around " I said.  " Izzy's mom doesn't want anything to do with Izzy.  She wants to be with me but it's not happening.  Izzy doesn't know her at all.  She comes around sometimes but rarely.  We broke up after she had Izzy " Luke said rolling his eyes.  " I'm sorry.  I know it's hard being a single father " I said.  " Yeah, it is.  Sometimes I wonder if I'm failing at it " Luke said playing with his food.  I grabbed his hand and he looked at me.  " You're an amazing father. Not many people step up and take care of their responsibilities and you did.  That says a lot about you right there " I said looking in his eyes. Luke leaned in and kissed me and honestly it was so passionate.  It was better than anything I could have ever imagined. Luke grabbed my face to pull me into the kiss tighter and it was like a spark I've never felt before.  I was going weak.  My mind was in the clouds.  It was like I was in a completely different universe.  he knew just how to hold me.  How to touch me.  How to grip me.
