Still at the Market!

After a few minutes of haggling with the vendors to get the best deal for their foods both Logan and Max headed back towards the place that they had arranged to meet. Max who was used to the hustle and bustle of the crowded streets made it quickly back to their meeting spot she waited for a few minutes but not being a patient person she started to browse around the stalls nearby. Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a stall full with jewellery and a huge selection of rings- she had never seen so much jewellery in one place before probably because not many people could afford it after the pulse. Plus she had never looked for it never really being a girlie-girl but being with Logan had changed her and now she was more aware of herself and who she was in a way.

She wandered over and almost immediately a ring caught her eye- it was beautiful. It was a plain silver band with a circle of clear diamonds fixed into it but the really selling point of the ring was the blue sapphire in the middle of the diamonds that reminded her of Logan's eyes.

The vendor who had been watching her approach came to stand by her as smiled at her as she visibly fell in love with the ring in front of the young beautiful woman.

" Isn't it lovely? - It's my favourite on the whole stall!" Max looked up at the woman- she was old and had a worn face as if she had had a hard life, she was wearing a gypsy type of pink skirt and a tattered shall around her slim shoulders.

" Yer, it is." Max agreed " Pity about the price tag!"

Just then she felt a familiar prickle on her neck- a feeling she only got when she was near a certain some one. She turned to see Logan coming towards her. She smiled at him.

" Hey Max!" he smiled as he reached her and slipped his hand in hers.

" Hey" she responded " get every thing?"

" yep and a few suprises!" he whispered into her ear as she shuddered and the feeling.

The vendor, who had been watching the happy couple with interest, turned to Max again.

" Tell you what dear, I'll give it to you for 250 since you have won me over and I would hate to see such a lovely girl disappointed."

Max again turned to the woman who she had forgotten temporarily whilst talking Logan.

" Oh, no thanks I was just looking I'm not really into the whole grille thing." She answered smiling warmly at the woman and then looking longingly at the ring again.

Logan, who had been watching the conversation between Max and the vendor with interest turned his full attention to his beautiful girlfriend and was shocked at the expression he saw on her face and knew at once what he should do.

" We'll take it thank you." He suddenly said politely to the woman on the other side of the stall. Max opened her mouth to protest.

" Logan, I was only looking you know I don't wear jewellery! And £ 250 I mean, that's a lot of money. Come on, let's go." And with that she started to pull him away.

" No. Max I want to get this for you." He protested back at her, " I saw the way you looked at it- you love it and I want to give you something that'll make you happy." He concluded.

Max sighed she knew that she was not to have a chance in hell of not getting the ring. He was true though, she did love it mostly because it reminded her of him but it was beautiful. It was going to be the best present she ever got.

" You make me happy." She stated as she wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into him as he wrapped one arm around her and one hand to get out his wallet.

" We'll get it." He said to the woman as he passed over the money who wrapped it up in a special box and handed Logan the box.

" I hope you have a very happy marriage." She beamed at the couple.

Max who had been grinning the whole time throughout this transaction was suddenly confused, " What? O no were not…" Not that she wouldn't like to be, she did one day but she didn't know how Logan felt about the whole thing I mean, handsome, wealthy, professional journalist married to a genetically engenieered screw up that wasn't very likely.

But Logan's smile just widened if that was possible. " Thank you." He said and then took Max's hand and led her back towards the car.

Max smiled up at him as they reached his car and pulled him down for a hard but loving kiss in full view of every one.

" What was that for?" he asked breathless and confused by the treat Max had just given him.

" I love you!" she stated simply as she climbed into the car and started to form her plan about how she was going to show Logan how much she really did love him……………….
