Chapter 10- Preparations
A/N for anyone who needs some smut, the story is finally getting going ( ish ) please R&R- hope you enjoy.
The morning sun shone through the curtains and woke Logan. He turned to look at the clock seeing that it was only 7:05 he resolved that he could stay in bed a bit longer. He guessed that Max had fallen asleep with him here and then awoken and gone home to spend some much needed time with her boo. He would call her when he finally did get out of bed and see how the day planned out, they had to get to the airport at 2pm but other than that they were free- just a few last minute jobs needed doing.
It was weird now for him to wake up and for Max not to be there he got so used to waking up in the morning to her beautiful face and smile. God, he loved her. There was a time when he felt that this time would never come, where he had given up but since the virus was history he was really living the dream. Max was so strong and brave, he knew that at the start of the relationship she didn't think that she could love like he wanted her to but boy, was she wrong. She was utterly the best; most beautiful, kindest, most compassionate and caring lover he had ever been with and he couldn't ever picture himself with anyone else ever again.
Logan spent the next few minutes thinking about Max and all the things that he had in his life and then decided that it was time to get up and stop wallowing in self-bliss. He rose at 7:34 and jumped into the shower, then he grabbed a cup of coffee and booted up his computers so that he could leave some warning that Eyes Only was going to be out of town for a bit and to clear up some e-mails. He was half way through writing an e-mail to Sebastien when the phone rang, he pressed it to his ear and spoke
" Hello?"
" Hey you." Was Max's only reply as she greeted him.
" Hey Max, what time did you leave this morning?" he asked pleased that it was her on the end of the line an not some desperate person in need of Eyes Only help. Mind you he would always prefer it was Max than any one else on the other end of the phone.
" About 11:30ish, needed to spend some quality time with my home girl you don't mind do you? Just that you looked soooooooo peaceful that I couldn't wake you." She cooed her voice dripping with sweetness and sarcasm, which usually under toned her voice.
Logan laughed at her joking tone and played back, " well I suppose I could be forgiven with much persuasion of course."
" Whatever, honestly though you don't mind so you Logan?" Max asked a little nervous that he may have been worried or something. Looking back on it now she maybe could have left a note or something but she did 't think of it- just another example that Logan screwed with her head when ever he was around but she loved it and wouldn't have him any other way.
" Course not max, you do have other people in your life I know that. Any way I was about to ring you to just check what you're doing today."
" Just need to clear up some stuff at work and with Alec and Joshua, what time do we need to be at the airport?" she asked.
" Well, we need to be at the airport at 2pm as our flight leaves at 3pm and so I'll book a taxi from here to pick us up at about 1, other than that I jut need to clear your leave with Normal and make a few phone calls but I should be free by about 12 so if you can you could come over about then and I can whip us up some lunch."
" That sound good." Max agreed " See you in about 3 hours."
" Ok, see ya then-miss you."
That sent a shiver down Max's spine and she smiled at the thought that he was thinking about her as much as thinking about him.
" You too Logan, bye." And with that she hung up.
The hours passed slowly for both as Logan made numerous phone calls and wrote many e-mails whilst Max saw lost of people and didn't lots of organising of jobs etc.
By the time came to set off to Logan's Max was relieved. She hugged OC and went to grab her bag, which was full of her clothes for the trip.
" Bye boo, and be sure to look after your hot boy!" OC called after and winked as Max turned to look at her over her shoulder.
" Try and stay out of trouble while I gone" max warned playfully and hugger OC again. Then departed to Logan's.
AS Max walked into the pent house Logan was no where to be seen. She called out to him and he came around the corner from the kitchen where he was preparing their lunch.
" Hey." He greeted as she came up and kissed him on the cheek and then leant in for a hug.
" Hey, how was your morning?" she asked as she rested her head on his shoulder.
" Busy. How about you?" he stated as he used his forefinger to raise her head so that he could see her lovely face.
She smiled up at him at last now able to relax. " Got any food on yet? I'm starving." She asked as she pulled out of his embrace and led the way into the kitchen.
" Yep, lunch is served." She replied as Logan gestured towards the neatly laid table and food on it.
The couple made small talk and laughed their way through the short meal but by 12:30 it was time to get ready to go. AS they were clearing the table Max asked,
" So what do I need to wear to travel in then?"
" Something smart but comfy, and remember that in London it will be cold, it gets cold in November, especially at night." Logan said but then quickly added, " I'm wearing a pair of smart trousers and a shirt if that helps at all. And don't worry about being cold at night- I'll keep you warm." Sensing that Max was a bit out of her depth he tried to lighten then mood, after all Max had never really been out of Seattle and certainly never been to anything like this reunion, she had a right to be a bit anxious and feel the need to fit in and make a good impression.
" Ok." She answered making her expression go blank and masking her feelings. She was now nervous. She had never been to something like this before and never really needed or wanted to make a good impression and get it right from the start. But with Logan it was different, she wanted for him to be proud of her and for her to be an asset to him, not an embarrassment. She shook her head of her thoughts as she heard Logan speak.
" Come on, time to get changed."
20 minutes later Logan waited patiently in the lounge area for Max to emerge from the bathroom where she was getting changed and applying a little make-up.
Logan had donned a pair of black smart trousers and a blue silk shirt that was comfortable but smart and he finished off the look by wearing contact lenses and not him usual rimmed glasses. He turned his head instinctively when the door to the bedroom opened and Max walked out. His head started to spin as soon as he saw her and he inhaled loudly. His normally gorgeous girlfriend had swapped her usual biker out fit for a blood red slit neck top that showed off her shoulders and collar bone perfectly along with smart, tight black trousers and pointed red stiletto boots to match her top and, over her arm was slung a black cardigan to finish the out fit if she got cold. Her Long dark hair was pinned back into a clip and she had applied a little lipstick and mascara to emphasise her fantastic features.
" Max." Logan managed to choke out as he walked forwards to her and rested his hands on her hips.
" Will I do?" she asked as she smirked at the obvious effect that she was having on him. Once she had finally picked an out fir suitable she thought that it would be uncomfortable but, to her surprise she felt stylish and sophisticated and she loved it. The heels made her walk more like a lady and such that they made her hips sway a little more when she walked and he had to hold her head right up to balance herself.
" You look like a goddess." He stated as he leaned forward to kiss the beautiful society girl in front of him, " you will be the Belle of the ball." He commented as he swept his eyes down to her toes and back up again.
Max felt a familiar jolt of heat run through her at his comment and as she took in his appearance, he look incredibly hot with contacts in as they made his eyes seem even more blue and the outfit he had chosen complimented his slim hips and well sculptured chest and handsome face.
" We'll see about that" she smiled back shyly and was about to continue when a beep caught their attention from downstairs. Logan checked his watch.
" Taxi's here, ready?"
" Yes sir" she answered and the two picked up their bags and walked out of the apartment hand in hand.
