Chapter 13: Living Life

Logan POV

I never had a problem waking up without an alarm clock, I had a natural sense of time so when morning came around I was awake at least an hour before I had to be anywhere. However, when I woke up I noticed that it was half past noon and Carlos was snoring next to me. He looked amazing, his hair was disheveled and a rivulet of drool lazily rolled down his face. If this continued, I may have to invest in an alarm clock.

I quietly crawled out of bed and walked out of the stuffy room and into the kitchen, where I would soon make a breakfast, or rather lunch for the both of us. I grabbed some bacon from the fridge, along with some lettuce, bread and mayonnaise and placed them onto the counter. Soon the bacon was frying, the bread was toasting, and the lettuce was shredded. I puttered back and forth; making sure the bread was not burning and turning the bacon in the skillet.

"Mmmm, whatever you are making it sure smells delicious Logie." Carlos muttered as he rubbed his eye and kissed me on the cheek.

"By the way Logan, nice choice of clothing, it really suits you." He added as an afterthought, then I realized what he meant, I wasn't wearing anything. I tried to rush into my room but he pulled me into his arms and just held me.

"I….I got to go…." Being completely naked in my own apartment by myself is one thing, but with somebody else it just made me feel embarrassed.

"Logie, I think you are completely adorable, sexy and innocent. I love you so you don't have to be embarrassed about how you look because well, I like how you look." He whispered in my ear, making me shiver even with his warmth seeping into my being.

"Th-Thank you." He just nodded and tightened his embrace and I gladly returned it. Soon I returned to making lunch, with occasional help from Carlos.

After we finished eating, we watched a movie until I had to get ready for work. I could miss school a couple of days and be okay, but if I missed work I wouldn't be able to keep up with rent or utilities for the month. So I said goodbye to Carlos, which ended up in a hot make out session against the front door.


At the College Library

Work seemed to drag on forever. I decided that after about ten minutes that it dragged on because I knew that once I got home that Carlos would be waiting there for me. I wondered what he would be doing to keep himself busy but every time I would start to day dream, Kristy, the manager from hell, would catch me and look at me with curiosity written all over her face.

"LOGAN!" I heard her unique screech from the back corner of the library where I was putting books back onto the shelves while thinking about Carlos. I finished shelving the last two books and hightailed it to the front desk where she was waiting.

"I called you 5 minutes ago! Where were you?" Kristy asked with her hands on her hips and a look of pure anger on her face.

"Sorry Kristy, I had to re-shelve a couple of books. Then I had to return the cart to the book drop off room. What did you need me to do?"

"Well, seeing as you got hurt because I asked you to get my CD and coffee, I have something for you to do. Think of it as a way of me apologizing." I nodded, remembering that it was her fault, that I got ran over and eventually met the man of my dreams. "So, I heard about a Big Time Rush CD signing, and was wondering if you could have them sign some stuff."

Leave it for my insane manager to ask me to get Big Time Rush to sign her things. Instead of immediately saying no, I decided to use this to my advantage.

"So, lets say that I get them to sign all of your designated items and a picture of them, signed of course, what would be in it for me?"

"If you just get the things signed then I will give you any three days off with pay, if you get a photo signed specifically for me then I will ask to get you a raise. It won't be much but it will at least be an extra 1.50 an hour." I agreed and shook her hand, this was easy.

Work went along as usual, but before I left Kristy handed me a bag containing a poster, a t-shirt, and a sign that she had made out of foam letters. This wasn't a lot to sign but I still felt nervous about asking Carlos.


Later at Logan's Apartment

"Your back Logie! I missed you babe!" Carlos said as he rushed to give me a tight hug, I dropped the bag and returned the hug. He planted a kiss on my cheek as we hugged, but the moment I pulled back he attacked my lips with his own.

We made our way to the couch, where he gently pushed me back causing me to fall. Instead of climbing on top of me, he began to untie my shoes and removed my socks before giving my feet a massage. I really enjoyed coming home to loving Carlos, hell; I loved coming home to Carlos.

"Hey babe. Can I ask a huge favor? Like a massive favor?" Carlos looked up from what he was doing to give me a small nod. I took a deep breath before I asked him.

"Could you sign some stuff and a photo for my manager she will give me a raise and three days off if I can get it signed? Please?" I said it so fast that I was positive that he hadn't heard a single word. However, he heard it perfectly.

"Of course! Logie, it's just a few items and a picture for a few days off and a raise! I would be more than happy to help you in any way babe; I want you to know that." His reaction made me feel something, I could guess on what I was feeling but I would be wrong.

"Thanks Carlos. It's just…." I said pulling my feet away from Carlos' hands and curled up into a ball, resting my chin on my knees.

"It's just what Logan?"

"Nothing." I hoped he wouldn't continue asking about it because I didn't want to sound like a broken record.

"If it was nothing then you wouldn't have brought it up so tell me."

"It's just that you don't have to worry about money like I do, so I thought that you wouldn't agree to do it. I'm sorry that I brought it up again."

He didn't say anything, instead he just pulled me into a tight hug.


A/N: Okay, I promise to be short and sweet because it's late.

I have decided to move to Texas, and live with my awesome brother Dalton. So most of my time has been packing my room so that I can leave. In addition to that, I have been stressed to the max dealing with family drama (read: My family ganging up on me at every turn) so I been trying to calm down and not take it out on you, my innocent readers. Oh, did I mention that I have been tutoring my friend "J" for like every 3 days a week because he needs a lot of help.

Anyway, please expect another update for Living in the Night tomorrow, because I got a wonderful pic from hahippy!
