First night at Logan's

Ava's pov

The last thing I remember after reaching Logan's place is that he told me he was going out tonight, so why the hell is he still here? I was lost in my thoughts when I felt something nudging me. I turned to face Logan who had a smirk on his face.

"hey nerd, what are you daydreaming now? I know I'm hot but you can just tone it out sunshine".

I scoffed "who told you I'm thinking about you? didn't you say you are going out tonight? or is no one willing to open their legs for you?" I remarked.

Logan smirk widened "and why do you care nerd? I don't think me whoring around is any of your concern or are you jealous " he said .

I became aware of the small space we were in. After the kiss we shared earlier, Everytime Logan is close to me keeps making me feeling conscious.

" No I'm not jealous but can you move your body away, you're in my space " I said, trying to scoot away from him until he caught my arm and started pulling me closer to him.

" why? Are you nervous Ava? don't worry I don't bite.. not that much anyway "

The audacity of this guy, I crossed my arms" look here Mr I'm not one of your conquest nor I will ever be, I'm just here because of my situation right now but it seems I made a problem asking you for help because you're clearly not interesting in helping me, might as well as show my way out" I huffed reaching for my duffle bag and started heading to the door when he caught my wrist turning me around.

His smirk faded quickly" alright Ava I'm sorry I didn't mean to insinuate anything. just so you know you're welcome to stay here as long as you want. I'm sorry "he apologize

I sighed I knew coming here would be challenging but I have nowhere to go right now and on top of that I've no job. " It's alright, but I want to make something clear to Logan. I'm not here to impress you nor am I here to start a relationship with you, I'm not like those girls who like to throw themselves at guys like you. I'm sorry but when I'm here I want you to respect me and I'll do the same. our relationship is strictly tutor and student learn to respect that "

After finishing my mini speech I looked at Logan and found his expression changed. He didn't seem impressed with whatever I said.

Guess he isn't used to not having his way. He clenched his jaw and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

" Great! make yourself at home I'll be out in mean time " he said then grabbed his car keys and stepped out of the house leaving me alone.

That night I stayed in Logan's apartment lying on the couch in the living room with my laptop. I kept thinking when would Logan fulfill his promise to find me a part time job? I kept digging into every job platform I could to find a job but the more I dug the more nothing I could find.

my phone buzzed with messages. one from Logan and one from my dad. I decided to open Logan's message first

logan: I'm sorry I left you alone, I was just angry.

Ava: angry that things didn't go your way?

Logan: There is no need to be a sarcastic nerd!

alright I'll see you later, have you eaten?

Ava: I haven't but I'm good thanks

Logan: Don't be stupid nerd! I'll be back in an hour with some to eat bye!

I don't know why he seems to care! guess all jocks do this to get into girl's pants. I took a deep breath preparing myself to open my dad's message, what could he possibly want now?

Dad: "be home on Sunday we need to talk"

Sunday? talk? He can't be serious! after all those years after chasing me out like a dog ,he just out of nowhere commanded me to go home?

Ava: "I have nothing to talk to you about".

he replied fast

Dad: "even if you don't come,I wanted to tell you your siblings are coming there they just got accepted in your university so you better take care of them"

Fuck! me living here was already bad enough but now I've got to help Brian and kate. I don't hate my siblings but we don't get along, Kate is mean to everyone while Brian is way worse!

I decided to do my homework and presentations.

The next few hours passed in a blur of trying to complete my history presentation that I was working on in silence.

Few hours later I heard the door being opened and Logan entered, approaching me with a box of pizza with him.

He sat down next to me, way too close . What is with this guy invading my private space? He opened the box and instantly the smell of a fresh pizza wafted through my nose. my stomach grumbled.

"ooh! and I thought you weren't hungry nerd! " he said wiggling his eyebrows

" I was not hungry but this is a biological reaction, everyone in my place will do what I have done stupid!" I retorted fast it was embarrassing enough to do this Infront of Logan.

he reached for a piece of pizza and passed it to me " take it I'm sick of your stomach noises so you better eat".

" Excuse me! it's not on purpose I told you it's bio ..." he didn't even let me finish

" yeah yeah, biological reaction I get it you can eat now nerd" he said feigning exhaustion.

I took a piece of pizza and took a bite. " Thank you,but you didn't have to do that, I can take care of myself Logan".

He sighed”yeah I know but I wouldn't be a good host wouldn't I? You're my guest and I have to take care of you, you don't have to feel pressured"

I blinked stunned, his words touched me. I didn't think Logan was capable of emotions. Before I could thank him again he asked me something I didn't want to talk about

“By the way Ava, I've been meaning to ask you what happened to your place? If i'm to help you I have to know first so can you tell me?" He asked

I felt myself getting defensive “so what Logan? So you could mock me with your jock friends? No thank you I can manage myself"

His eyes narrowed “what the hell Ava? Is that what you take me for? I'm just trying to help, but you got your walls up trying to be a bitch when I'm just trying to find some way to help you.”

I gasped " well… thank you now you have shown your true colors I don't think I can stay here anymore". I started heading to the door ready to leave. I would come tomorrow to get my bag,but now I seem to have any energy left in me. But before I could disappear outside I was flung back inside and felt arms sneaking my waist.

“I'm sorry Ava! I'm just angry that you do not trust me enough. I didn't mean to call you a bitch,I'm so sorry!" Logan said, tightening his arms around my waist.

I know I should fight and wiggle out of his hug but being here in his arms I felt all my worries vanish instantly. I hugged him back

“You aren't exactly the person to be trusted Logan, we've known each in just a week" I said trying to lighten the mood.

Logan chuckled “ alright then we will work on that, let's get back to the pizza before it goes bad”.
