Logan smells her the minute she walks out of her room he turns towards the stairs and smiles at Lily as she makes her way downstairs. On impulse, Lily wraps her arms around Logan and hugs him tight.
"Good morning, Logan."
"Good morning, Lily, you look beautiful."
Lily blushes prettily, "Thank you, Logan."
"Are you ready to go?"
She smiles up at him, "Yes, where are we going?"
"You'll see."
Logan takes her hand and leads her out the door. Instead of his motorcycle, Lily sees that there's a pickup truck parked out front, "I thought it would be better to go in this. We have a long drive ahead of us."
Logan opens the door for Lily and helps her in. When she gets in she notices that in the bed of the truck is a cooler. She wonders if that has anything to do with what they were going to do that day. Logan gets in the truck and they head East making their way out of the city. Eventually, they stop on Long Island to have breakfast. After breakfast, they get back on the interstate and continue heading East.
It takes two hours to get to their destination. As they drive Logan and Lily talk about anything and everything. He asks her about her life in England and about her family. She tells him about her parents and about her sister. For some reason, Lily feels comfortable enough around Logan to tell him about her estranged relationship with her sister. That it all started when she got accepted into the private school and her sister didn't.
After a while, they lapse into a comfortable silence and Lily stares out the window. She notices that the landscape changes to vineyards and farmland, "This is beautiful, where are we?"
Logan smiles, "This area is called the Hamptons. It's a group of towns, villages, and hamlets scattered along the eastern end of Long Island," Logan tells her, "I thought we could spend the day here exploring the area and visiting some of the vineyards."
Now, this was something totally out of character for Logan. Normally he would avoid this area like the plague if he had the chance. But being a bodyguard there were times when his clients would head up there for vacation and he was forced to tag along. Because of that fact, Logan was very familiar with the area. So he thought that this would make a perfect place to spend time with Lily.
They ended up going to Sag Harbor in the East Hamptons. Logan parked and helped Lily out. Lily looked around and thought it was the cutest No-Maj village she had ever been to She was trying to get used to using the American word for Muggle.
Logan took her by the hand they walked around the village looking at all the shops. They ended up going to one of the vineyards where Logan bought a bottle of wine after doing a little wine tasting. After that Logan took Lily to the Harbor where they took his boss's yacht out into the harbor and had the lunch that Logan had packed in the cooler he brought.
When lunch was over, Logan taught Lily how to fish and they spent the rest of the afternoon fishing and talking. Lily had so much fun fishing with Logan that every time she caught a fish she would squeal with delight and try her hardest to reel it in by herself. Logan would laugh and in the end, would have to help her with the fish. They never kept the fish they caught. Lily felt always about killing them so Logan would release them.
In the evening the took in a film at the local cinema then headed back to New York. By this time Lily was exhausted but happy. She leaned against Logan's shoulder and fell asleep holding his hand. Logan smiled and kissed her head. When they got back to the boarding house, Logan helped Lily up to her room. They kissed goodnight and Logan left.
The following Monday Lily went down to the University of Magical Arts with Marilyn to enroll in the tutoring program so that she could catch up with her mundane studies before school started. She decided that she would take classes every day to pass the time while Logan was working. Even though they did not see each other every day they did talk on the phone every day.
"How are you doing, Darlin'? How's your tutoring going?"
"I'm good, Logan, my tutoring is going very well. How's work?"
"Same as always."
"I miss you, Logan."
"I miss you too, Darlin' but tomorrow I have the day off so I can pick you up from school and we'll go out to eat or something."
Lily wasn't too sure she wanted Logan to pick her up from school, she wasn't sure he'd be able to see it considering that it's a magical school, "That's okay, Logan, I'll just meet you at the boarding house. I don't want you to go to any trouble."
"It's no trouble, Lils, I want to."
Lily didn't want Logan to become suspicious so she had no other choice but to agree. So on Friday afternoon when she got out of class she was surprised to see Logan standing outside the building leaning against the wall.
"Logan, I wasn't expecting you to meet me here. How did you find me?"
Logan smirked, "I have my ways, Darlin'."
Lily looked at him confused but didn't ask further.
It was easy for Logan to find Lily. Not only was he being led by the mate bond but he picked up her scent easily enough. He was a little surprised to see the University though, He had been to NYU before and had never noticed this part of the campus before. Logan thought that was a little odd.
As it turns out the University of Magical Arts was attached to NYU so that those wizards and witches that needed to attend the No Maj University could come and go freely. But the university was under Muggle repelling wards and so only magical people could see it. As a mutant that was not affected by magic, Logan had no problem crossing the wards. People who saw him assumed that he was just a squib. So naturally Lily assumed the same thing though she wasn't going to make mention of it.
She smiled at Logan and gave him a hug, "I'm so happy to see you, Logan."
"Me too, Darlin'. Shall we get going?"
Lily smiled and wrapped her arm around Logan's waist as he led her off-campus to his truck. He opened the door for her and the left. Logan took her back to the boarding house so that she could change. Then he ended up taking Lily to her first Mexican restaurant and ordering her some Fajitas and Margaritas. After that, he took her dancing at a local night club where they danced the night away till dawn.
A/N: I apologize to anyone from the Hamptons if I got any of the information wrong I have never been there.
