Mary Anne POV.
Logan strokes my cheek lovingly. I blush, as he stares into my eyes, with a strange intensity. Since five years ago, when Logan and I first started going out, we have both changed a lot, but our relationship hasn't progressed to another level at all. I think he wants it to... but Im not sure if I'm ready.
We continue just sitting there, our hands clasped together tightly. I trace his face and body with my eyes. I notice his height, he has always been taller than me, but now he stands at almost 6 foot, while I'm still only a few inches above five foot. Logan's hair is now dirty blonde and very messy, which I find kind of hot. His jaw is squarer; he experimented some stubble but didn't like it. His sparkly blue eyes and his cute smile are the only things that remain the same from our first years of dating. I'm haven't changed as much as Logan, though. Im now medium height, rather than short. My short brown hair has grown out, and I now wear some light makeup. My clothing style has also changed and I now wear stylish clothes, but not in the Claudia sense.
Logan and I often sit like this, in a comfortable silence, but sometimes I feel the need to start a conversation.
"Are you getting cold?" Logan asks me. "If you want I can lend you my jacket" This is what I love about him, he always puts me first, even if he himself is affected.
"No, it's okay." I say even though I am cold. I shiver and he gives me a look that says 'Yeh right you're not cold.' He takes off his jacket and puts it around my shoulders before I can protest. It is really warm and it has a scent on it which is uniquely Logan. "Thanks"
"No problem" He replies, giving me his crooked smile which I love. I lean on his shoulder and cuddle up to him. We are sitting down on a bench on the hillside, next to the water. I look at the community centre, and for some reason I think of the time Claudia and Dawn had a race to Greenpoint Island and got caught in a storm, which left them stranded on some random island. I spent a lot of time by the water here that week, looking for any wreckage on the shoreline. Logan suddenly puts an arm around me and buries his face in my hair. I wonder where this sudden show of affection comes from.
"Are you okay?" I ask him. He looks at me, with question in his eyes.
"Yeh, why wouldn't I be?" Logan replies.
"No reason" I say, and then I blush. He smiles.
"You're so cute when you blush" He says. I push him away and blush more. This just results in him wrapping his arms around me, and holding me tight. "You really are cute" He murmurs into my hair.
"Well so are you" I say, trying not to blush. He chuckles.
"Not as much as you"
"You know I really should go now. Its late" I say trying to get off the topic.
"It's only 6:30" Logan states.
"And I only have Richard Spier for a father" I remind him. He sighs.
"I see your point... but sometimes..." He trails off.
"Sometimes...?" I prompt.
"Nothing. I will walk you home."He unwraps his arms from around me and stands up.
"Don't change the subject." I stand up and Im glad my sneakers have quite a raised sole, so Im not that much shorter than him.
"Sometimes I wish that." He looks at me and I look at him, as if to say 'go on', "the world would just stop and I could have you all to myself for as long as I want, without having 'I better go' now at the back of mind the whole time." I stare at him, and he stares back.
"Yeh, I wish that too" Before I know what has happened Logan has captured my lips with his own. Suddenly I'm kissing him back. I have never been a bold person but soon I suck at his bottom lip, and he lets my tongue through with no hesitation. Soon the kiss becomes quite heated and he puts his hand up my back. I reluctantly pull away.
"We can't do this..." I say.
"Well I can" He replies in his southern drawl, and starts kissing me again.
"Well I can't" I pull away again.
"Why not? We've been going out for five years now, and we're seniors. Everyone else has surpassed us on the relationship levels, and I just stay behind with you because I love you and want you to be happy. Isn't it time to go to the next level?" Logan says starting to get a bit angry. I consider this. I am shy and I don't want to be hurt, and I think that's the real reason we haven't moved on at all.
"I..." I start to say, but Im silences with another kiss.
"Please, Mary Anne?" He murmurs.
"..Okay" I reply and he looks elated. I give him a kiss. "But not now."
"When?" Logan asks.
"Soon, just be patient." I tell him, slipping my hand through his. "But right now, just walk me home." And with that I lean my head on his shoulder and we walk down the pathway towards my house.
