After work, I came straight home, took care of Rex and started getting ready for my dinner date with Logan.
I was upstairs doing my hair whenever my house phone started ringing. I walked into the living room and picked up the ringing phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby girl, how's it going?"
I smiled at the sound of the soothing voice, "Hey, mom. Everything's fine here. What about you and dad?"
"We're doing just fine. I talked to your brother this morning and he said that you've helped him make some interesting friends."
See how the key word is 'interesting'? "Interesting is an understatement."
I could hear her sigh, "He also told me that you have a new boyfriend."
"Hehe. He said that, did he?" I always got nervous when it came to boys and my parents. Especially my dad. You'd be nervous too if your dad was ex-marine and very protectice of his only daughter.
"Yes. He did. He also mentioned that he's a pop singing sensation? Does that sound about right?"
I nervously chuckled, "I could've sworn I told you guys about him."
"Nope. You didn't. Your father and I both want to meet him." She said.
"Oh, so you're coming here for a visit?"
I could tell she was getting frustrated with me. It was a habit of mine. "No. We want you to come here."
I thought about it for a second. "Mom, Logan and I haven't been together for very long so I'm not sure he'd be up for it. But I'll talk to him about it and let you guys know."
"Perfect! Your brother will probably come home too so we can have a little family reunion."
"Greeeaaat." I said sarcastically.
"You know you love your family." She said.
"Yeah, I do." I smiled even though she couldn't see it.
"All right then. I'll talk to you later baby. I love you."
"Love you too, mom. Tell dad I love him, too."
"I will." She replied.
"Okay, bye."
We both hung up and I put my head in my hands. Good ol' Ohio. How I hated it. This would be the first time I've been back there in almost 2 years.
Wow, I've been in L.A. for 2 years. "And a great 2 years it's been!" I yelled to myself.
Rex ran into the kitchen and put his paw on my leg, scratching me.
"Ouch, boy! What do you want?" He looked at me with pleading eyes, so I let him outside to do his doggy business and I went back to getting ready for my dinner date with Logan.
I did my hair, makeup and got dressed and let Rex back in the house. I looked outside and saw Logan had just pulled in front of my house.
"Perfect timing." I muttered.
I greeted him at the door and took in his scent as we hugged. He smelled like a mix of Axe and peppermint. Very nice.
"You ready to go?" He asked me.
I smiled and nodded, "Sure am."
We left my house and got into his car and he drove off into the city. Somehow the sun was always setting when we went out to paint the town.
I looked over and took in Logan's appearance. His spiked up hair, his gray v-neck shirt and cardigan over top. He always looked hot, no matter what he decided to wear.
Then I remembered the phone call from earlier. I took a breath and faced him. Here goes nothing.
"So, what would you say if I told you that I had to go back to Ohio for a few days?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders, "Well, I'd really miss you, but if you have to go back then I won't stop you."
"Okay. Well, what would you say if I asked you to come with me?" He averted his eyes from the road for just a second to meet my eyes and he smiled.
"Are you asking me to come with you?" He asked.
"Well, yeah. I am. My parents wanna meet you and I really don't wanna have to go back alone with my brother."
He chuckled and grabbed my hand, "You don't like your home town?"
I shrugged my shoudlers, "It's okay. L.A. is so much better, though. I just didn't have the greatest time in Ohio as a kid."
"Oh, I see. Well, I'd love to meet your parents. And maybe we can go see mine soon."
I smiled, "Awesome."
I was glad that he was willing to come home with me. But I was also nervous for him to meet my parents. I really wanted them to like him.
I turned my head towards the window and looked as a few stars began to appear in the purple sky.
