A few weeks later, I was at the grocery store and James had promised to take care of the kids for the day so that I could relax and do my errands without any interruptions from the kids. I hummed and I heard a "Lilly?" come from behind me. I turned, and who did I see? Logan with baby Skylar.
"Hey Logan. Hey Skylar." I smiled.
"Getting groceries as well?" Logan asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah. James decided to watch the kids while I get my errands done and whatnot."
"Ah. Val's at work, and I have the day off, so I had to take Sky with me."
"Well, I don't mind seeing little Skylar." I smiled at her. She smiled back at me with her toothless grin.
Logan chuckled. "I love it now that she's discovered smiling. "
I smiled. "I bet. She seems like she's a fast learner. Caitlyn was like that too."
"Maybe she'll take after her older half sister." Logan shrugged.
I smiled. "Maybe." I stroked her little cheek.
Logan looked at me. "Well, I'm done shopping, and if you are…wanna go out for lunch?"
I smiled, nodding. "Sure. I have the whole day to myself. Might as well have lunch with my very good friend and lovely baby daughter." I stopped. I don't know why I called her my daughter. Even though she was biologically mine.
Logan looked at me. "She is you daughter. I don't care if you call Skylar that."
I nodded, looking into his eyes.
After paying for my groceries and putting them in the car, Logan and I went out to lunch at this restaurant called, 'Red Barn' it was a nice family restaurant, I'd been here once with James when Caitlyn was about a year old. After the lady seated us and brought out a highchair for Skylar, she smiled at the both of us.
"She's so gorgeous. How old is she?" the waitress asked.
"Almost 4 months." Logan replied.
"Well, she's absolutely precious."
Logan and I both nodded and after placing our orders, he looked at me. "she probably thinks we're married."
I smiled. "More than likely. We're both wearing wedding rings and we're here with our daughter."
Logan nodded. "Our daughter. That's so weird hearing that because we're both married to different people."
I nodded. "It is. I just feel bad for Val and James because now that you and I have a baby together, our bond is going to be stronger because we have to put up with each other for the first 18 years of Skylar's life."
Logan nodded and our food arrived shortly after. After finishing our lunch, Logan paid for it and we went to the park.
I grabbed Skylar out of her carrier and put her in one of those baby swings and pushed her. As she continued swinging, Logan smiled at me and soon, his lips crashed against mine.
I blinked, and I had no idea what came over me, but, I kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck and pressing my body against his. I pushed away from him a few seconds later.
"Logan…what the hell? Oh my God, what am I going to tell James? I kissed one of his best friends. Oh goodness…"
Logan looked at me. "Lilly, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. Shit."
I looked at him. "Let's forget that last minute never happened. You tell no one, and I tell no one. Got it?"
Logan nodded, and Skylar started crying. "Oh Skylar…don't cry." He soothed as he picked her up from the swing.
"I should go now Logan." I said, not looking at him now.
"Ok. I'm sorry."
"Me too." I said simply as I walked away, trying to forget about the kiss as I drove home.
