Finally about 15 minutes later the happy couple walked into the spacious penthouse and both headed into the kitchen to dump their purchases.
" What do you want me to do then?" Max asked as Logan emptied the various bags and set to work filling pans with water etc.
" Um… if you could set the table that would be great!" he smiled at her eagerness to help since he knew that she hated that he could cook and she could burn water- must be the competitive streak in her!
" Consider it done!" she smiled back and walked over to the cupboards to gather the things required to make this meal really special.
Later Logan sauntered into the dining area laden with food to find Max staring out of the window.
" Hey! Earth to super girl over there, ready for some food?" he teased her as he set the food on the table and started to dish the food onto the plates.
" Yer, sure- sorry, just thinking." She turned to face him.
" Bout' what?" he enquired as he sat down and started to pour two glasses of wine.
" Stuff." She said, she didn't really care to elaborate so she changed the subject.
" So tell me about all this arrangements you have made for us to go to England." She ventured. Logan was dying to ask her what was wrong and what she had been thinking about but he let it drop and answered her question.
" Well, we leave on Friday, as the Reunion is on Sunday so we can do some sight seeing on Saturday. Then we can leave when ever, probably about Thursday though, that is if you want to keep your job, I have settled it with Normal but I don't think we should push it." During his little explanation he had reached over the table and taken her small hand into his larger one and stared to caress it. She smiled down at their hands that fitted so perfectly together and then up to his handsome face which was watching her contentedly.
" It sound perfect Logan!" she exclaimed as she leaned over and kissed him softly. " Thank you."
" There's more." He stated as they both carried on with their meal. " We are staying at the Royal Hotel in the middle of London and we have a nice sweat, I have stayed in it before. However, it is a posh hotel and the reunion is going to be full of rich snooty types so I think we might need to go shopping- you know to get some appropriate stuff to wear…". He trailed off as he realised how he must have just made Max feel, basically telling her that her clothes weren't good enough for him, which of course was not true. Max looked beautiful in anything and he liked it when she walsed into his apartment in the morning (if she hadn't stayed with him the night before) wearing some black cargo pants and a red sweater of some sort- she looked divine.
Max smiled at his obvious thoughts he was having- in no way did he make her feel below him or anything, if anything she felt above him. He told her about 100 times every day that he loved her, he made love to her like she was the most precious thing in the world and he had just brought her a beautiful ring as a sign of his love. He treated her like a princess; it had nothing to do with clothes.
" Hey, whatever, sounds fun. Tomorrow? sounds fun!" she said as she put her fork down and reached over to raise his face with her finger so that he would look at him.
He sighed and smiled at her. " tomorrow would be perfect! I need some new clothes too."
" Great then we can shop together." She said triumphant as she licked her fork and put it down full.
" Do you want coffee?" he asked as he finished his meal and collected the plates and dishes together.
" Sure, but I'll make it you clear up here." She answered
They met minutes later in the living area, Max handed him a cup of steaming brew and led him over to the sofa where he dropped down and pulled her to him so that she was on his lap. They talked for a few minutes about the plans they had made and about what they had done that day. Throughout the conversation Max had played with his fingers and Logan had gently rubbed her back. Finally when he thought that she was totally relaxed he turned around so that he was facing her face to face, moths inches apart. He reached into his inside pocket and took out the little box that held the ring that he had brought max that afternoon.
" Can I put this on you now?" he asked as he took her right hand and selected her middle finger. She just sighed not trusting voice and nodded as he slipped the ring onto her finger and then lifted the finger to his mouth and kisses it lightly.
" This is a symbol of how much I love you and how amazing and special you are to me Max." he stated as he smiled up at her eyes, which were quickly filling with tears.
" Forever." She said as she fingered the ring that would now be a constant reminder of the incredible man next to her.
" Always." He answered back as she leant into him and kissed him hard, he tongue invading his mouth.
" I love you Logan" she gasped a little breathless from he kiss that they had just shared to seal their relationship.
" I love you to Max." he smiled back at her as he stood and led her into their bedroom.
