Chapter 9

Things are brought and money in no object.

" So, what will you be doing in London Logan?" Eva asked as she sorted through a rail of women clothes that seemed to look to Max like evening dresses.

" Well, we will be going to a big dinner, a less in formal dance thing, a smart lunch and then just some sight seeing." He concluded as he rolled off all the things that they were going to be doing over the week.

" So an evening dress, a party dress, some smart outfits and such- sound good?" she asked as Max eyes widened in wonder at the thought at getting so many new things and she spoke foe the first time since they had entered the store.

" Logan- I don't need all that stuff!" she protested as he smiled from Eva to Max obviously overjoyed at treating her like this. Eva just smiled knowingly- Logan had had many women in here years ago buying expensive dresses but they were all airheads and shallow. Max was different, the way Logan looked at her was pure love and she seemed down to earth and was surely just as, if not more beautiful than all of the other girls.

" Max," Logan began, " we will need these things, trust me remember that this thing will be P-O-S-H all the way and any way- what's wrong with me spoiling you once in a while." The words warmed Max's heart but she threw back a typical Max sarcastic comment.

" Once in a while? Try every day!" the three stood there knowing that this was going to be a long afternoon. Eva broke the silence as she ushered them into a big open part of the store. Which were full of rails and a big curtain that Max guessed covered a big dressing room. The shelves were filled with shoes and bag and all imaginable accessories.

" Right, here are the clothes that I picked out for you Logan- I had to guess Max's size but you did a pretty good job in describing her so there shouldn't be any problems. Your clothes are on that rail." She concluded as she gestured towards two huge rails in the centre of the room that were both filled with all fabrics of colours and textures. Max couldn't make out any of the particular pieces of clothing and what they were but the silks and Cashmeres showed that the clothes were of the top quality.

" Wow!" was all the beauty could make out- Max- queen of sarcastic comments was speechless, so she did all she knew how to do which was reach for Logan and pull him into a soft kiss, "I love you," she whispered as Eva had busied herself going across the room to max's rail and sorting through.

" What about this as an evening dress, Max?" she asked as she pulled out a long silk, deep purple dress that had a long skirt and a corseted top. Max felt instantly in love with it.

" Logan you sure? Cos' once I get my hand on your credit card you ain't going to see it again today for dust." She stated as she approached Eva and fingered the fabric.

" Knock yourself out!" Logan grinned as he pictured Max in the dress. " I'll try on a new suit for the dinner as well." He went to his personalised rail as Eva and Max disappeared into the left-hand dressing room to get max changed. Logan chose a single breasted, very stylish black suit with matching dress pants and a shirt that would match Max's dress perfectly and, with a half smile permanently plastered onto his face he walked into the right hand dressing room to get changed.

10 minutes later Logan waited impatiently outside the two changing rooms, how long did it take women to get changed? He had been ready for 5 minutes already and the thought of Max in that dress was driving him wild, all those little hooks would be a nightmare to get off in a hurry, but who's to say you would have to take the dress off........

He stopped his mental thoughts with a snap as he heard the curtain being drawn back and Eva stepping out before Max. It was a few seconds before he saw Max as Eva purposefully made a meal of making sure that Logan couldn't see Max in the small room behind and it drove him mad.

But, the wait was worth it as Max stepped out of the dressing room. She looked absolutely stunning. The long skirt of the dress hung straight apart from the bottom which flared a bit, the bodice was tight and showed a reasonable amount of cleavage and the little beads on the fabric shone in the light making Max look like a goddess who had descended from above. Logan's breath caught in his throat as Max took a step towards him and then another and so on and so on until she was about a foot away from him. She turned her face upwards so that they locked eyes and she smiled.

" Will I do Mr Cale?" she teased as she noticed the obvious effect the dress had on Logan. He in turn had a huge effect on her to, not only was he already the best and most important person in her life he was also a very good looking man so when he dressed up in all black stylish suit apart from his shirt he looked incredibly hot.

" Max." he choked on his words as he tried to find the right words to match up to Max beauty. " You look divine!" he finally exclaimed.

" Thank you, and the same to you." Max answered simply as she smiled softly back at Logan and then at Eva.

Eva again broke the couple out of their world as she spoke, " Logan, you know what else you need and where everything else is why don't you go and stock up and I'll help Max?"

"OK, as long as you take good care of her for me." He teased as he ran a hand softly down Max's back.

" Of course!" Eva exclaimed and set to work busying herself trying to find Max some more clothes to try on.

" See ya later then," he said as he leant down and whispered into her ears.

" Guess so," was all that Max could manage as he slowly and teasingly pulled away and proceeded to walk around the corner and out of site to, Max guessed the Men's section must be.

" He's hooked on you." Eva stated as she walked over to Max holding what looked like a red knee length dress and an over cost to match. Max just smiled at the comment. " How long have you know each other?" Eva asked as she ushered Max into a changing room and helped her undo the hooks of the purple dress.

" About 2 and a bit years I suppose," answered Max calculating it " but we have only been going out for about 2months.

" 2months!" Eva cried as she unhooked the last hook, " well he's smitten with you, I wouldn't be surprised if you came in here next week with an engagement ring. I haven't ever seen Logan so in love."

" Really?" Max said, this time it was her turn to sound so surprised. Logan had had lots of women in his earlier years she knew that but all of Eva's comments were welcomed as they gave max confidence.

" You just make sure you look after him and hang onto him your very lucky to have a guy like him." Eva advised as Max slipped into the little red dress.

" I know and I will." Max replied quickly feeling the need to reassure Eva that she did care about Logan deeply and that she wasn't just another dumb blonde. She was extremely lucky to have him, she knew that and she also liked Eva for the obvious caring feelings she felt towards Logan, almost maternal.

The hours passed and by the end of it although Max had 13 outfits and all the accessories to match she was exhausted. Logan too had bought a fair amount namely a few casual outfits and 2more suits. They said their goodbyes to Eva and all the assistance that had assisted them and set out to make their way home in the Aztec.

Max rested her head on the window wearily and watched the city rush by.

"Tired?" Logan asked as he rested his hand on her thigh.

" Yer, but it's been a good day. Thank you Logan."

"For what?" he inquired

" For every thing" she replied before slipping off and dosing the rest of the way home.
