She takes her helmet off and stays seated on her bike. Logan looks through the kitchen window and knows something's wrong. He steps outside and spreads his arms out wide. She gets off her bike and steps into his arms, resting her head against his chest. He presses a kiss on her hair and holds her tight. She calms down in his arms and breathes out slowly.
She feels her phone vibrate in her pocket and pulls it out. There are missed calls and messages from Dino, Violetta, and Thomas. She turns her phone off and slides it back into her pocket. Logan looks into her eyes and asks: "Talk about it or wine with cheese cookies and come up with a plan for tonight?"
She looks into his grey eyes and says: "The last idea. I feel like coming up with a naughty plan. And I could definitely use wine and cheese cookies."
"Okay, Bonnie. Go upstairs. I'll be right there."
Scorpia walks in and puts her helmet, gloves and jacket in the closet in the kitchen. She runs upstairs and straight up to Leo's crib. Leo's sleeping deeply and she strokes his cheek gently.
She sits down on the couch and takes her boots off. She makes herself comfortable and sees Logan come up with two glasses of wine and a bowl. She thanks him with a kiss and swallows down a gulp of wine.
"Tell me Bonnie. How are we going to tease Flavio and Ciro?"
Scorpia's eyes start to shine and she says: "I'm going to dress up as sexy as I can and as soon as I see Flavio, I'll sit down on his lap. I'll tell him he awakened something in me. And you'll catch us of course. I'm pretty sure that raising your voice will be enough to scare Flavio. And Ciro on top of it."
Logan chuckles and asks: "How sexy Bonnie?"
"Stiletto boots, leather hot-pants, and black leather top sexy?"
"Oh hell, Bonnie. You better stay upstairs until they are here. Because just the thought makes me want to drag you straight to bed."
She suddenly remembers Dino's coming over tonight. "Shit. Dino."
Logan shoots her a questioning look.
She says: "Just a short update, okay? I've told Thomas and Violetta what they get to see at the premiere. It was very emotional. And then Violetta asked me bout Flavio. I ran outside and bumped into Dino. He distracted me by playing table-tennis with me and showing me all the new stuff at the children's home.
When he started to fiddle with the baseball gear, my mind drifted to my past. It touched me and I didn't want him to see it. So I ran inside to say goodbye to Violetta and found her in Thomas' arms."
She rubs her face and sighs. "Dino is coming over tonight to watch us tease Flavio and Ciro."
Logan pulls her into his arms and says: "Such a wonderful mess, Bonnie. But I'm really glad you're honest with me about it. And it explains why you switched your phone off."
She looks at him all sad and asks: "But what am I going to tell Dino?"
"Nothing, Bonnie. We focus on having fun with Ciro and Flavio and after that I'm dragging you upstairs. Freya is working tonight and I'll ask Marco to stay a little longer."
Logan kisses her softly and asks: "What would you like to do now, Bonnie?"
She says: "Drink wine, eat cheese cookies, watch cartoons and hug my two favorite men."
Logan gets up, grabs a DVD from the TV-stand and says: "Talking about cartoons..." He hands her the DVD and Scorpia screams like a schoolgirl.
Logan laughs and she says: "Put it on! Right now! I haven't seen my first love in such a long time!"
