Thank you so much guys for your advice and kind words.
That night Louise had trouble sleeping. Her thoughts were all over the place. She was thinking about the beach, what happened outside the restaurant, how much Logan has changed, what was going to happen and just Logan in general. By the time she finally fell asleep it was around four in the morning. Despite this she woke up at 9 AM as usual. It was her day off so Louise wasn't really worried. She could always take a nap or just drink extra coffee anyway.
Louise pulled herself out of bed and walked over to the chair she stacked all her clothes on after they got washed. Sure she had a dresser she also keep clothes in, but those were the clothes she never wore. She repeated the same 5 outfits all week. She picked out a green tank top and some dark wash denim shorts from the chair.
"Would Logan like this outfit? Ugh I sound like the girls I make fun of" Louise thought to herself disgusted. She slipped on her worn dark green sneakers and last second grabbed the pink beanie she got from her family the Christmas after her ears were destroyed. She tried wearing it all the time like she wore her ears but it wasn't really the same so she only wore it occasionally.
Louise heads to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of coffee. Linda was in the kitchen making breakfast for the entire family. "Good morning little miss love sick" greets Linda bitterly.
"Ummm good morning mom?" replies Louise slightly startled sitting down at the kitchen table.
"So how's your little boyfriend Logan?" asks Linda aggressively slapping down a couple chocolate chip pancakes onto the plate in front of Louise at the table.
"He's not my boyfriend mom" argues Louise. "Dad told you?" she asks.
"Yeah your father told me all about your little crush" continues Linda slamming the maple syrup down on the table.
"Geez mom what's wrong?" asks Louise concerned.
"Nothing everything's perfect. You finally get a boyfriend and you don't even tell me, instead you go blab to your father, Gene and Tina" complains Linda.
"Mom it's not like that" says Louise trying to defend herself. "He's not my boyfriend and everyone else only found out about the crush because they wouldn't stop prying. You know talking about this stuff is hard for me" explains Louise.
"I know honey you're right, I'm sorry" sighs Linda. "I know this kind of thing is hard for you and I know I can be a little bit over the top" says Linda. "But oh my goodness my littlest baby is all grown up" squeals Linda clapping her hands.
Louise rolls her eyes. It didn't take her long to get over that grudge.
"So have you kissed him?" asks Linda excitedly.
Louise starts blushing silently cursing herself.
"Oooohhhh you did" shrieks Linda. "When was it? Was it nice? Have you kissed him more than once? asks Linda launching into a series of questions.
Louise gets up from her seat and grabs a pancake as she leaves the kitchen. "Have a good day sweetie" calls Linda as Louise opens the front door.
Logan was always invading Louise's life so she decided it was her turn. She tried to open the door to Puparazzi but the door was locked. Right they weren't open this early. She sighed and took a bite out of her pancake. She could give up. Or she could make Logan just as uncomfortable as he's made her. She walked to the back alley behind the studio searching for the fire escape ladder.
Before scaling the ladder she shoved the rest of the pancake in her mouth. Carefully she climbed the rickety ladder. When she reached the second floor of the apartment she peeked through the window. Charlie was cooking something on the stove and Rosie was laying on the floor a few feet away.
Stealthily she walked to the second floor ladder and started climbing. When she reached the top she looked inside the window peering through the small gap in between the curtains. Inside she saw a futon, band posters, and a random pizza box laying on the floor. Yep Logan definitely lived here.
Louise crossed her fingers a pushed up the window. It was unlocked. Quietly she slipped inside and closed the window behind her. On the other side of the living room was a small kitchen and four seater kitchen table. To the right of the kitchen was a hallway. Louise walked down it searching for Logan's room. The first door on her right was a bathroom and the second a storage room/ office. There was one more door left at the end of the hallway.
This had to be it. Before Louise pushed on the partially opened door she felt doubt sink in. Was she really going to barge into Logan's room? Yes. She's been too predictable lately. Time to shake things up.
Louise took a deep breath and pushed open the door. Clothes and books littered the floor. A full-sized bed sat in the far right corner of the room. Logan was asleep under a dark blue comforter, his head resting at the foot of the bed, his feet sticking out the opposite side. A small smile was on his lips.
"He's so cute when he's sleeping" Louise thought to herself. She instantly rolled her eyes at her own weakness. She tiptoed over to the bed and put her face a few inches away from Logan's. "Psssstttt Logan" whisper yelled Louise.
Logan's dark blue eyes popped open. "Louise?" asked Logan almost incoherently. He darts up out of bed. Louise starts cracking up. "What are you doing in my room?" asks Logan still confused.
"You're always randomly paying me a visit so I decided I would return the favor" explains Louise with a laugh.
"Oh" answers Logan collapsing back on the bed. "Well congrats I"m surprised" says Logan dryly closing his eyes.
"Nope you're not going back to sleep" declares Louise slipping off her sneakers and starts jumping on the bed. Logan groans and pulls the comforter over his head. Louise continues jumping so Logan grabs her ankle pulling her down onto the bed. Louise falls landing on top of Logan.
"Hey" complains Louise. Logan peeks his head out from under the blanket.
"Who's surprised now?" he asks sitting up and wrapping his arms around her.
"Actually you're getting really predictable" answers Louise now sitting in his lap.
"You're just saying that" complains Logan kissing the top of her head.
"Logan what are we?" asks Louise turning around to look Logan in the eye.
"That was pretty straightforward" laughs Logan. "What do you want me to be?" asks Logan smiling.
"Idunno" mutters Louise.
"Come on babe, you always know what you want" says Logan gently poking her in the ribs.
Louise doesn't say anything.
"Does that word start with a b?" asks Logan.
"Maybe" replies Louise sheepishly.
"I won't if you don't ask and you have to use the actual word" teases Logan.
"Logaaannn" gripes Lousie.
"It's not that hard, I'll help you" says Logan chuckling. "Like this, Logan will you be my boyfriend? Come on repeat after me"
Louise rolls her her eyes. "Logan will you be my boyfriend?" she murmurs.
"Of course" replies Loan giving her a bearhug.
Louise melts in his arms."I hate you so much" she whispers.
