What is love? (A Logan Lerman story)

Chapter 9

I woke up, still with my head on Logan's chest. I clicked my phone on, it read *5:55*. I tried to close my eyes for a little longer, but then I decided I might as well wake up.

Carefully, I pushed myself off the couch and slipped my slippers on and dressing gown and made my way down stairs to make myself a cup of tea and some toast.

When I got down there my mum was on the laptop in the kitchen.
"Morning, mum!" I say with a yawn.
"Morning, hunny. You seem tired, eh? Had a nice sleep considering it was a sleepover?"
"Eh, yeh. I actually fell asleep quite well."
"So, what did you two do last night?"

I froze then gulped. "Em, well you know, we watched movies and ate pizza. Like at any normal sleepover."
"Sounds nice!"
"Yeh, it was." I smiled. "So, what you doing on Facebook at this time at the morning?" I asked my mum to take the sleepover subject out the window.
"Oh, you know, I just couldn't sleep so I thought I'd come downstairs and make myself a cup of tea. What are you doing up so early anyway?"
"Oh, the same."
And with that I made myself a cup of tea.

************
At around 7 Logan finally woke up. "Morning!" He yawned, trying to be as enthusiastic as possible.
"Hey Logan." my mum said. "Had a nice sleep?"
"Yeh, it was lovely." he winked at me and I blushed ever so slightly.
"Oooh well that's good to hear! I guess I'll leave the kitchen to leave you two to it." and with that mum left the kitchen - at last.

"So, how are you from last nights kiss?" Logan asked flirtatiously.
"I'm fine, you?"
"Never been more splendid."
"Okayy. Do you want some toast?"
"Eh, yeh. Sure!"

I popped the toast on for Logan.
"Jenny," Logan began, "Are you doing anything today?"
I looked at Logan. "I don't think so I'll go and ask my mum."
"Okay, it's just that if you aren't maybe we could have a walk to the park or something?"
"Sounds fun!" I implied.

I shouted at my mum, who was sitting in the living room to ask if we were doing anything today and luckily we weren't.

I went upstairs to go and get dressed. I put on my Fall Out Boy t-shirt, with my black, ripped skinny jeans and my Doc Martin boots. I tied my hair in a pony tail then washed my face and teeth and applied some makeup.
"You know, Jenny," Logan shocked me by standing outside the bathroom door, watching me apply my makeup. "You don't have to wear makeup to be beautiful. I mean if I'm honest you don't need makeup because you're a really pretty girl and I'm not just saying that to be nice."

I blushed - I couldn't help it!
"Thanks." I mumbled trying to force a smile without it looking too shy.
***********
When we arrived at the park at around 11:30 there were loads of kids than I had expected. Me and Logan found an empty bench and went to go and sit on it.
"So," I began, inquisitive of why he had brung us to the park. "Why the park?"
He looked at me and smiled.
"Well, I thought it's a nice, lovely, sunny day for a stroll in the park. What do you think."
I laughed, "Well yeh. It sure is a nice, hot day."
"Jenny." Logan sounded serious but not too serious. "About last night I just want to say I am extremely sorry I kissed you and I can totally understand if you weren't ready or if you don't like me in that way, just please don't abandon me as a bad friend."

"Logan, it was fine, honestly. I mean to be honest I actually enjoyed the kiss and you're not a bad friend, stop being so harsh on yourself."

Logan looked reassured. "Thanks Jenny. Oh and can I ask you something?"
"Yeh, go ahead!"
"Well, last night with that kiss, I don't know, I thought I felt a special spark between us. I know this may sound cliche but I really like you and I kinda want you more than a friend."

Can I just say, when Logan asks or says anything romantic he always ends up saying it awkwardly and it is the most adorable thing I have ever encountered in my life.
I smiled softly and sweetly at him, because the truth was I liked him more than a friend as well, it's just I don't want to rush things with him.

"Logan are you asking me to be your girlfriend?"
"Eh, yeh."
"Sure! I'd love to be your girlfriend. It's just I don't really want to rush things if that's okay."
"Yeh that's fine."
And with that we spent the rest of the day at the park. We fed the ducks, played some frisbee, got some ice cream and fish and chips, went on the pedal boats and so much more! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I arrived back at home around 5:00, and went upstairs to my room. I mean right now, I actually can't stop thinking about the events of which happened today. I mean I'm so happy they occurred and I just never wanted them to end.

As I sit on my bed, I look around my room and something catches my attention. It's my pink cat diary which I got for my 9th birthday.
I walk over to the shelf it's on and open it. I haven't even wrote in it - what the hell!?!

Then, I think. Maybes I could write what happens between me and Logan in this diary. I mean I know I'm 15 and writing in diaries is for like 12 year olds but I mean at least another 15 year old out there has to keep some sort of diary/journal. Also, all the best authors keep journals.

I go online scrapping the idea of some sort of childish shit like that and watch some YouTube videos.
********
It's 9:00pm and I'm still replaying today's events in my head. They truly were magical. Okay, I'm making it sound as though I was in some fairytale land and we all know fairytales do not exist - I repeat - DO NOT! But, I guess it's just the fact the way he kept looking at me then at other girls. Out of all the pretty girls we passed today he still looked at me more caringly and uniquely. I feel so special and I've never felt special before - ever!

If this is love - feeling special - then I guess I don't want to stop feeling it because right now I feel like a fairytale princess and I have finally met my prince Charming.
