Always Yours

Five- Logan

The next day I am awoken by my phone ringing repeatedly. I finally decide to answer it after I realize it's Noah calling me. "Hey Boss Man, what's up?" "Well good morning princess, you sound wonderful! Late night, huh?" I chuckle, "Ha yea you could say that. Liam had the great idea to go out to a local club for a while." "Oh, which one did you end up at?" "The Marquee I think is what it was called." "Oh, that's a damn good choice. I bet it was a long night then. There's usually a lot of good-looking women who frequent there." I chuckle again remembering the girls we picked up last night. "Yea you can definitely say that." "Anyway dude, I just wanted to touch base with you about when to show up tomorrow. James will be at your place at 8am to pick you guys up. We have a bunch of meetings during the day we all need to be a part of. Our last meeting is at 3 with an event planning group. My father and I want to host a fucking amazing New Year's Eve party. Kind of like the parties that we always throw in LA." "Ok, sounds like a plan dude. If you don't mind though, I'm gonna get off the phone. I think I need to get myself a shower since I haven't gotten one since being in LA." We both laugh. "Alright man, I'll see you and Liam tomorrow when you guys arrive. Hope you feel better soon princess!" "Ha! Fuck off dude. See you in the morning."

I lay there for a moment and notice that my phone says it's already 1pm. I guess I really did have a late night. I smirk as I remember having sex with Ciara. She was definitely on the wilder side. I'll have to see if Liam heard her... she was ridiculously loud. I mean, I will take that as a compliment, but damn. Her loud moans actually hurt my ears. I could tell that she really wanted to spend the night, but I am not all about letting the girls cuddle with me after sex. I am not that type of guy; it's too intimate for my liking. I did at least call her a cab and paid for it. I'm not a total dick!

Ugh fuck, I really feel like shit. I head to my attached bathroom to get my long-awaited shower. This needs to be a relax day for sure.

Liam and I just hang out in the living room watching Sunday football the whole afternoon. We liked the wings so much the night before, that we ordered more for dinner. I explained what Noah said on the phone earlier so that Liam was all caught up. We are looking forward to checking out the office in the morning. "Dude you had a screamer last night," he jokes. "Yea you aren't kidding!" I agree. "For as forward as my girl was last night, she was shockingly quiet. She was a good time though!" He adds. "So when did you send her home?" I ask. "Ummm, it was sometime this morning. She passed out shortly after we fucked, and I didn't want to be a dick and wake her up to send her home." Well, I guess I can't say his club idea was a bad one after how last night turned out for both of us.

Before I know it, it's the next morning and we are ready to be picked up by James. As we exit the elevator, I can see James standing by the car outside through the building's glass doors. "Good morning gentlemen," he announces as we approach the car. We both wish him a good morning as well. He starts to explain which buildings are which on our way to the office. Looks like we will have about a 10-minute commute each morning. That definitely is better than what it was in LA.

Noah had sent us a text about what floor we were on, so we made our way up the elevator to meet him there. "Welcome to Elixir NYC!" he shouts as we exit the elevator. God he is way too chipper this early in the damn morning. "Calm down dude, way too early for this shit. I at least need some coffee before I'm even remotely this happy," I joke with him. "Miranda! Can we get 3 coffees to my office asap?" he loudly asks the receptionist behind him. She smiles at all of us as she quickly gets up from her desk, "Sure thing Mr. Collins. I'll be right over with them." We thank her and follow Noah over to his office. On our way, I pass doors that have our names on them, so now I am aware of where my office will be. The shades are down in the windows, so I am not sure what it looks like yet.

"Have a seat guys." Noah motions to the seats at his smaller conference table. Just as we are sitting down, Miranda comes waltzing into his office and places our coffees in front of each of us. "Here you go gentlemen. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you," she says with a slight seductive tone. I look up at her and she gives me a wink. She turns to walk away but looks over her shoulder at me as she leaves the office. God, I really need this coffee right now.

We are in Noah's office for about an hour. Going over what meetings we were expected in and what clients we were to be covering that live in this area. Unfortunately, I see a very well-known singer's name on my list whom I had hooked up with back in LA. Well shit, this is going to be interesting. Most likely not a good interesting.

So, other than the few meetings we had with Noah in the morning, we were free to do our own thing... at least until our last meeting that was set up at 3pm. I made a bunch of phone calls during the day and before I knew it, it was almost 3pm. Noah shot me a message saying that the event planning team had arrived, but I was finishing up a phone call. I told him that I would meet them in the conference room as soon as I was off the call.

3:10... ok well I am only 10 minutes late. Not too horrible. The conference room is a little bit away from my office, so I picked up my pace a bit to get there faster. As I rounded the one corner, I could see Noah and Liam standing around the large table talking with three females. I could see the faces of two of them, a blonde and brunette. They both were stunning, with great smiles to match. I bet you that Liam is absolutely drooling right now over the blonde. The other was a slim redhead, but I couldn't quite see her face yet. Good god her body was amazing from this angle though. Luckily for us, her skirt is extremely form fitting and it shows off her ass and hips. Hmmphh.

She suddenly turns her head a bit and wow is she beautiful. I always had a thing for redheads since I dated one back in high- Holy fuck. Suddenly I'm completely stopped in my tracks. That's Sophia. My fucking high school sweetheart. The girl that got away from me when I was too young and dumb to fight for it. She is literally standing there enjoying life and isn't even aware of who is about to walk through that door. I wonder if there is a chance that she is going to recognize me.

Noah suddenly makes eye contact with me and raises his hand, "Hey Logan! Come on in!". I snap back to reality and with that everyone turns to me. Sophia's eyes suddenly are wide open, and her smile starts to disappear. Her eyes don't leave me as I start walking into the room. I feel like it's all in slow motion right now. I scratch the back of my neck slightly and look right at her.

"Uh," I laugh nervously, "Hey there, Soph."
