Louise got back to the restaurant and her parents were both waiting. "And just where have you been Miss Missy?" her mother asked with her hands on her hips. "I went for a walk to clear my head." she lied waving off the inquisition. "Louise, you can't just leave without telling us. It's not like when you were little, damn it. We're busy. Luckily we were just finishing up our lunch rush when you stormed out of here. I take it Logan caught up to you?" Bob knew. He knew that she was not on a walk and if she was, she was not alone. "Yeah." she said as she passed him, going into the back to wash the dishes from left over from lunch.

Her phone buzzed as she finished drying the last plate. Louise picked it up and smiled at the message:

Hey Four Ears! My place. 6 o'clock. Clothing optional. ; )

"Cheeky bastard." she thought to herself. "Hey! Hey!" she heard her best friend Jessica yell out as she came in the door. "Hey, bitch. You're late." Louise said as she looked at the clock. "Sorry hoe. I ran into that guy again. He's so damn fine. Anyways, he wants to meet up after the restaurant closes." Louise rolled her eyes. Jessica met this "guy" at the pier a week ago, ever since, Mr. Mystery Man has been monopolizing my best friend. "Are you ever going to tell me this guy's name?" Jessica smiled slyly. "You'll know soon enough my dear." She answered as she tied on her apron. Louise said goodbye and headed upstairs to shower and change for her dinner with Logan.


Logan was chopping some Roma tomatoes and basil to add to the white wine sauce he was making to go with the grilled chicken and pasta. It was one of his favorite dishes to make. He was nervous too. This woman was making him nervous. He smiled to himself thinking about the memories of every encounter they ever had.

Stealing her pink bunny ears. Her sending the motorcycle gang after him for stealing said ears. Being locked in the Utero-Room, breaking out and playing laser tag. Getting a rotten cannelope thrown at him from a window then chasing her and her brother. Making her cry. Not his proudest moment. Snowball fighting over a sledding hill and her saving him from the pounding of a lifetime by giving him a headstart. It was that time that made him start seeing Louise as someone that he actually liked, not romantically, but as a friend.

Louise was grown now. In her final year of college, she was an adult. Beautiful, intelligent, and incredibly sexy. And she was coming to dinner. Logan checked the time; 5:30. She'd be there any moment if she was on time. His phone began to ring, so he grabbed it. Looking at the caller ID, he rolled his eyes.

"Hello, mother. To what do I owe the pleasure?" His mother called weekly to check in and ask about his dating life. He always had the same excuse. No life, too busy making money. "Logan, sweetheart. How are you? Doing anything interesting tonight?" He sighed into the phone. He was going to need to tell her sometime so might as well. "Actually, if you must know, I'm cooking dinner for my date tonight."

His mother squealed into the phone. "Ooh, finally! Who is this mystery woman?" Logan smiled and shook his head, "Well, it's an old acquaintence of mine actually. I ran into her on my jog this morning. She's getting ready to finish up her last year of business school actually."

"A woman with a brain, huh? Thank goodness it's not some ditzy bimbo, and a person with ambition. I would like some grandchildren in the next few years, you know." I almost drop the phone out of my hands. "Jesus woman! Slow down! It's our first date. You're already planning marriage and babies?" His mother laughs, "Oh, come one sweetheart. You're almost 30 years old. You ain't getting any younger." She was right in that aspect. He had just turned 28 three weeks ago, but he just could not see himself settling down with anyone just yet.

"Well, the woman I am seeing is only 21 years old, mother. I don't think she'll be interested in forever just yet." His mother went quiet. "Hello?" Logan asked thinking their phonecall disconnected. "Logan Barry Bush, what did you say this 'old acquaintences' name was?" she asked with sudden anger. "I don't believe I said her name, mother." he said with humor in his voice. He knew she figured it out. "It had better not be who I think it is or so help me God, Logan!" She was getting pissed now, he could tell by the high pitch of her voice.

"Louise. It's Louise Belcher." he said already pulling the phone away from his ear waiting for the screaming. "THAT HORRIBLE GIRL WITH THE BUNNY EARS! NO! I FORBID IT! YOU ARE NIT GETTING INVOLVED WITH THAT BITCH!" Cynthia was no longer calm. Logan knew she had never forgiven Louise for sending the Three-Eyed Snakes after him. "Mother, calm down. She's not like that anymore. We spent some time together this afternoon. I really like her. You know that it has been over four years since I dated anyone. Please. Just meet her again. She has matured, I swear." Logan was pleading with his mother.

"Shit, Logan. You already have strong feelings for her, don't you? After one day?" She sounded exasperated and worn out. "Mom, I have not felt like this about anyone in my entire life. She challenges me, makes me feel alive. I can't say how far this will go. She leaves at the end of Summer for her final year of college, but in the meantime, I am going to get to know her again. I'm sorry if you don't approve, but when have I ever asked your permission to do anything?" He said it with a chuckle and his mother sigh. "Okay. But, I want to meet her, again. Let her know that we will be having a dinner party Friday, and you are more than welcome to bring her with you. I love you, son." she said it lovingly, so he knew his impassioned plea worked. "Love you too Mom. Gotta go. She should be here any minute."

Logan hung up the phone and began setting the table. He checked the time again. 5:58pm

Damn. Was she standing him up? He texted her quickly?

"You still coming?" Send.

He got out the bottle of Moscato D'Asti he was chilling in the fridge and poured two glasses. *knock*knock*knock* He jumped at the knock at his door, almost spilling the wine. He checked himself in the mirror next to the front door then answered.

His breath caught in his throat. Louise looked beautiful. She was wearing an olive green sundress that just touched her knees with black sandals. Her hair was down with soft curls cascading down her back. She was wearing minimal makeup, but she didn't really need any. "Are you just gonna stand there with your mouth open or invite me in, Bush?" She said with a knowing smile. Logan cleared his throat and moved out of the way so that Louise could enter the apartment.

"If dinner tastes as good as it smells, I'm not leaving." She said making her way to the kitchen. She dipped her finger in the wine sauce and tasted it. "Oh my damn. Logan Berry Bush, you made this?" Louise asked in disbelief. He knew it would be a hit. Everyone loved his wine sauce. "Hungry?" he asked her with a lifted brow. She nodded her head enthusiastically. Logan mixed some of the sauce in with the pasta, plated it, then added the sliced grilled chicken and more sauce, then garnished it with fresh parsley.

Louise was already sitting at the table and sipping her glass of wine. "Nice choice of wine. Usually I find it too bitter, but this one is perfect. You're just full of surprises, aren't you?" She couldn't stop smiling and Logan was loving it. He put her plate in front of her then his at his setting. "To new beginnings." He said as he lifted his glass. She did the same, "Yes, to new beginnings."

Louise enjoyed her dinner. She usually didn't eat much on dates. They made her nervous so she usually felt queasy, but she felt so relaxed with Logan that she ate her whole plate and wished for more. "Oh my God, that was friggin delicious. Where'd you learn to cook like that?" Logan chuckled, "Well, an ex-girlfriend in college actually bought me cooking classes as a joke because all I ever seemed to make was grilled cheese and Ramen noodles. The classes were great, the relationship not so much. She actually cheated on me with her professor."

"Well, all of my professors are women or old as Hell so you're safe with me." Louise blushed crimson. What did she just say? Did she just say they'd still be dating when it comes time for her to return to college? "Good, but I would like to think I can trust you, Louise. You've got a good heart. I know from experience." He winked at her. She didn't know what he meant, most people thought she was heartless. "When have I ever showed you that I have a good heart? I believe I was horrible to you anytime we were in contact as kids." He smiled at her.

"Don't you remember jumping on my sled with me and saving my skin from Mandy and the rest of the softball team? That was the moment I knew we could be friends and not just enemies. It was the sweetest thing you ever did for me." The look he gave her made her shiver. He looked as if he wanted to take her right there on the table and, to be honest, Louise would let him. "Let me clear the table. You wanna watch a movie on Netflix or something? Go on over to the couch and pick something, okay."

Louise went over and put his television on, scrolling through the movie titles as Logan cleared the table. He put the rest of the food away and rinsed the dishes off for the dishwasher before refilling their wine glasses. "You want any dessert? I got some cookies from the bakery or mint chocolate chip ice cream? He called out from the kitchen. "Ooh, that's my favorite ice cream!" Louise yelled causing him to smile. So, there's something else in common. He put 2 scoops in each of their bowls and brought it over to the couch. He smirked when he noticed she had taken her shoes off so she could curl up on the couch.

Logan kicked his loafers off and pushed them under the coffee table. "Here you go. One bowl of ice cream." He sat next to her on the couch. "Where's Honey?" she asked looking for the orange ball of fur. "She's in the bedroom. Didn't want her interrupting our dinner. She tends to hate wine glasses. Always knocks them over. Cats can be such assholes." They laughed together. "Did you pick a movie?"

She did. It wasn't a girly movie but a gory horror flick. They sat there and watched as the villain stalked and murdered his victims viciously. Finishing up their ice cream, Logan took them and rinsed them off as well. Louise noted how clean and efficient he was. Every guy she ever dated were total slobs, so this was a nice change. She was always cleaning up after her exes. Not Logan though. He took pride in his home. Louise was actually imagining what it would be like to be married to him, but stopped herself when he came back to sit.

"Are you chilly?" he asked and Louise nodded. He disappeared for a moment then came back with a soft fleece blanket. "Come closer, Bush. I'm not gonna bite." He smirked, "Yeah? But I might not be able to keep my hands to myself, Belcher." Louise pounced on him. "Don't you dare keep them to yourself." She began to kiss his neck and made her way up to his earlobe, licking it then nipping at it. "Mmm, can't believe I almost got these cut off." she whispered into his ear.

Logan grabbed her chin then began kissing her, his tongue begging for entrance, to which she readily agreed. Louise found herself straddling him again and grinding against the bulge in his pants. "Oh fuck, Louise. What are you doing to me?" Louise smiled into their kiss. "We have too many clothes on. Do you know how many times I fantasized about this?" she admitted to him. She had too. Ever since she was younger, she imagined fucking his brains out.

She discarded her sundress over her head and on the floor as he took his shirt off exposing his hard muscled chest. "Fuck. You are beautiful." he said as he sucked her nipple through the sheer fabric of her bra. Louise threw he head back. "Ahh, yes." she moaned as he grabbed her ass, grinding harder against her sex. He picked her up, and she wrapped her legs around his torso as he carried her to his bedroom. Opening the door, Honey came running out leaving the bedroom cat-free. Kicking the door closed, Logan made his way over to his bed laying her gently down.

He freed himself from his trousers standing in his boxer briefs. Standing there, he suddenly became nervous. "Come here, Bush. I'm lonely here." She patted the bed as she smiled wickedly causing his cock to twitch. He walked over to the edge of the bed and watched as Louise got up on her hands and knees and crawled to him. "Can you believe I'm actually fucking nervous here? he asked her seriously. She got up on her knees, raked her nails gently down his chest to the waistband of his underwear. She looked up at him and he captured her lips again.

Her arms made their way around his neck and she pulled him down with her on the bed. "Can I take your panties off?" He asked huskily. She nodded and reached behind her back to unhook her bra as he kissed his way down her body. He rolled her panties off then kissed her inner thigh. She gasped as he took his first taste of her pussy. "You're so wet." He could hear her moans of pleasure causing him to continue his expiration. She screamed his name out as she climaxed, "LOOOOOGAAAAN!!!!" She reached for him so he got up and hovered over her. She reached down and felt that he still had underwear on. "What are you doing with these still on?" She pulled them down as far as she could reach and he finished, tossing them off to the side.

She reached down and stroked his length. "Do you have protection?" she asked breathlessly. Logan reached over and opened his nightstand drawer and took out a condom. Ripping open the packet, he covered himself in the latex. "You're sure?" he asked permission before going past the point of no return. "God yes!" she said eagerly. He lined himself up with her entrance and slowly pentrated her warm hole. He groaned at the feeling of being inside of her. She slapped his ass playfully, "Move." she giggled. And move he did. Louise had not been with a lot of men, but of the three before Logan, she'd never felt so good. He knew what he was doing, that was for sure. He didn't go fast like the rest, he took his time. Then it dawned on her. He wasn't just fucking her, he was making love to her.

He found her lips again and as he ground into her slowly, he kissed with toe curling passion. He reached down between them and fondled her clit eliciting an excited moan from Louise's lips. "Damn, you feel so good." he said as he got close to climax. "I'm so close." he warned. "Me too, ahhhhhh, fuck Logan!" she groaned. They were covered in a thin sheen of sweat. He pushed her hair out of her face. "I want to see you orgasm, Four Ears." She smiled and dug her heels into his ass as he picked up the pace. Her legs were shaking as she threw her head back in the ecstacy she felt as she climaxed. He could feel her walls closing is as he lost control. He collapsed, nuzzling into her neck. "Shower?" she whispered causing him to laugh. "Definitely."


Louise woke up the next morning with the feeling of Logan's arms wrapped around her, and it felt...right. She was not a touchy feely type of person, but she like the feel of him. "Logan?" she whispered testing to see if he was awake. "Hmm?" She smiled at his sleepy response. "I need to get up." she notified him. "Noooo. Cuddle more. Go back to sleeeep." he whined. "I need to pee." she laughed out. "Fine," he unwrapped his arms, "You're free to pee." He watched as she made her way to the bathroom in one of his college t-shirts. "You look good in my clothes!" he shouted to her before she closed the door.

Louise peed, then washed her hands. Looking around, she saw a bottle of Listerine and rinsed her mouth out. Her hair was a mess, total bed head. She exited the bathroom and noticed Logan was gone. Then she smelled coffee brewing. "Oh, he's good." she said to herself. She walked out of the bedroom and saw him on the couch petting Honey. "Good morning, Honey." Louise said as she reached over to scratch behind her ears. "Good morning, sweetie." Logan said with a shit eating grin. She lightly smacked him on the back of the head. "I was talking to the cat."

She walked over to the coffee maker and saw two mugs sitting there. "How do you take your coffee?" she asked shocking him with her request to make him coffee. "Um, three sugars and lots of cream. Thanks." She brought their coffees over to the coffee table. "You have coasters, Bush?" He reached over to the side table and placed two coasters down for her, impressed that she actually had the thought of using them.

"You working today?" Logan asked hoping to spend some more time with her. "Nope. Sundays are my day off. Why? You eager to get rid of me, Bush?" He smiled and leaned his head on her shoulder. "No. Don't want you to leave. Stay here with me and Honey?" he pouted his bottom lip out and looked up at her with his bright blue eyes. "I don't have a change of clothes." She replied. "Wear mine or just put your dress back on."

"I need my toothbrush." Louise didn't want to leave either, but she couldn't not brush her teeth. "Well, you are in luck because I have a whole pack of brand new toothbrushes in my linen closet." he grinned at her after using his best gameshow host voice and causing her to laugh. "There's something else I need to ask you. Don't be scared, okay, but I told my mother about us." Louise gasped, "Why? When?" He told her about their phone conversation last night before she came over. "I'm sure she was thrilled to hear it was me coming over, huh?"

"Well, she doesn't have any say in who I fall in love with, so I don't think it matters." He didn't even realize what he said. He just saw her eyes get big. "What?" he asked. "Um, did you just say the "L" word after one date dude?" Logan looked confused. Did he say the "L" word? "When did I say it?" he asked. She sat up and turned towards him more, "You just said, and I quote, 'She doesn't have any say in who I fall in love with' Bush. Those words came out of your mouth." She was flustered. Not that she wasn't interested in love, but he was moving way too fast. She had to internally kick herself though because she had sex on their first date.

"Does that freak you out? What if I was falling in love with you? I'm 28 years old and no woman has ever made me feel the way you are making me feel. Ever. I don't want to scare you away. I just want to be upfront and honest with you, Louise." Logan poured his heart out to her. He was expecting her to get up and leave. Instead, she took his hand and threaded their fingers together. "Logan, what we did last night? It was the most loved I ever felt with anyone. I mean I don't have much experience, but you made me feel so...ugh, I can't explain it. Usually I just feel like a guy's fucking me, but you..." She trailed off not knowing what to say, but he did. Logan took her face in his hands, "That's because I wasn't 'fucking' you, Louise. That was making love." And then he kissed her sweetly and leaned his forehead against hers. "I never thought I could feel this way. I don't want to ever lose this feeling." He said and kissed her nose. Honey jumped off his lap. She must've known what was going to happen next because Louise straddled Logan's hips. "Neither do I."


Friday night - Dinner at Cynthia's with Bush at 5pm - King's Head Island

Louise's calendar popped up on her phone notifications and she suddenly felt queasy. She had been seeing Logan just under a week. Linda was excited, and Bob was still not in love with the idea. Logan was busy during the day with work projects, but every other night belonged to him and Louise. Tonight he would pick her up and re-introduce her to his mother. His boss/stepfather, Jack, will be meeting her for the first time though. Jack was totally easy going though. He was good for Logan's mom because he taught her not to take life so seriously.

"Louise! Logan's here!" Louise heard her mother call from outside her bedroom door. "I'll be there in a minute!" she yelled back. Why was she so nervous? She double checked herself in the mirror. She'd actually bought a new dress for this. The dress was a halter dress that flowed nicely mid calf length. She paired it with her most comfortable kitten pumps. She put her hair in a cute bun and put on mascara and some pink lipgloss.

Louise opened her door and walked towards the sound of her parents and Logan's voices. She couldn't help herself, she eavesdropped.

"And what are your intentions with our daughter? She's our baby, you know." Bob's voice was serious, very unlike him. "Sir, I know it's new and we're only just getting, umm, reacquainted, but I am in this for tye long haul. Your daughter is unlike any woman I have ever known. Louise, well, she's it for me. I truly feel that. I'm not sure if she feels the same way, but I am willing to wait and find out. And I'm sorry if you don't like it, but unless she breaks things off with me, I'm not going anywhere."

Louise's heart stopped. Damn, he really was serious. She found herself smiling. She has to straighten her features before she entered the kitchen. "That's beautiful to hear. Oh, Bobby isn't that just beautiful?" Linda squealed. Louise decided it was time for her to rescue Logan. "Hey, Bush. Oh." She couldn't stop herself. He looked amazing. He had a nicely cut suit on that looked like it was hugging all the right places. If they had no place to be and her parents weren't right there, she'd jump his bones. "You like?" Logan said with a smirk. "Yes, very much. Um, well, we'd better go then. Bye Mom, bye Dad." Logan held out his hand and she took it. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "You look good enough to eat." causing her to instantly become aroused. "If you don't stop talking like that, we'll never make it to dinner at your mom's."

He opened the car door for her, then got into the driver's side. They headed for the King's Head Island Ferry. As they waited for the ferry to reach the island, they talked about their weekend plans. "Well, Jessica wants me to meet this guy she's been seeing. She won't tell me anything about him except that he's a good lay and treats her good. I told her that I would see if you were free because there's no way I am going alone." Logan reached over and threaded their fingers together. "Sure, we can do that. My step-brother has been bugging me to meet his new girlfriend too. Good guy. He's a couple years older than me though. To tell you the truth, I thought Jack, Jr. might be gay. Hasn't been with anyone the whole time I've known him, but I guess he could say the same thing about me." He chuckled. She loved his laugh.

The ferry finally reach the island, and Logan drove up to the gates of his stepfather and mother's mansion. He pressed the buzzer button. "Name please." the voice from the intercom asked. "It's me, Rosa. Logan." *bzzzzz* The gates opened and they drive up the long driveway. Louise could feel her mouth open. "Jesus, this is where your mom lives? Holy crap." Logan laughed. "Well, it's Jack's house, but yeah." They parked the car, and Logan helped Louise up the front steps. The door opened and an elderly woman answered. "Rosa!" he exclaimed as he gave her a hug. "Rosa, this is my girlfriend, Louise Belcher. Louise, this is Rosa DiSeppio, Jack's house manager. She takes care of everything in the house. She's also Jack's sister-in-law." Louise shook the lady's hand. "I'm pleased to meet you, Mrs. DiSeppio." She said with a smile. The lady had kind eyes so Louise instantly got a good feeling about her. "Oh, dear girl, just Rosa will do. Well, you certainly are a beauty. How'd you land her, Logan? She blind?" Rosa joked as she nudged Logan with her elbow. "Oh, I definitely like you, Rosa." Louise said with a laugh.

They moved on to the sunroom where everyone else was hanging out. Louise saw Cynthia and froze. She looked like the same woman, but her hair was longer and she look more relaxed as she sat on her husband's knee talking to another woman. "Logan and his girlfriend, Louise, are here Cyn." Rosa announced. Cynthia got up and took her husband's hand as he rose up from his chair. "Ahh, there you are. Louise Belcher? Is that really you. Oh my goodness, look how you've grown. Oh my, you are just gorgeous. Jack, isn't she gorgeous?" Louise felt herself blushing with embarrassment. "Mother, you're making her uncomfortable. Take it down a notch." Cynthia laughed, "Stop. I am just surprised is all. I haven't seen you in at least 10 years. Logan says you're in your final year of business school? That's exciting."

Louise was really expecting the cold shoulder from Logan's mother, but she seemed genuine and kind. "Did Jack, Jr. get here yet?" Logan asked. "My son? On time? Never!" Jack said with a loud, booming voice and an even louder laugh. "No, but he is bringing a friend. A female friend. He hasn't told me much about her except she's a local girl from the main land." Louise's cogs began turning in her brain. "Logan, can I steal you for a moment sweetheart?" Cynthia asked. "Jack, you can keep Louise company, can't you?"

Jack was a cool guy. He took Louise into the game room with Rosa and another man she could only guess was his brother and Rosa's husband. "Could I interest you in a game of billiards young lady?" He asked with a sly smile. "Sure. Haven't played in forever though." She was lying of course. Her and Jessica played every time they went to Rowdy's Bar off the boardwalk. "Rack 'em up, kiddo!" Jack could be described as handsome. It was probably the bright blue eyes and his salt and pepper hair that drew Cynthia to him. If it wasn't his looks, it was definitely his personality. He laughed heartily and liked to joke around like a big kid. They played the first game and were neck and neck until only the 8-ball remained. "Call your shot, Jackie-boy." Louise demanded in a cool, mischievous voice. Jack laughed at the nickname, "Alright there, kiddo. Left, corner pocket." He took his shot, the cueball bounce off the right side and slowly made its way to the 8-ball. It connected and the 8-ball practically floated into the pocket. "Aww!Damn! Good game, Jackie-boy!" She shook hands with the man and turned to see Logan leaning against the doorway with a huge smile on his face.

Louise walked over to him and gave him a quick peck on his lips. "I like him. But I will get a rematch and beat him next time." Logan took her hand and pulled her back out to the main house. "Come on. I'll show you my room." She looked at him. "You have a room here? Why?" Logan shrugged. "Jack insisted. I really only ever stay in it on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day or if I get too sloshed at parties." They entered his bedroom door and Louise gasped. "Geez, it's bigger than my family's whole apartment, Bush. Look at that bed!" Logan pulled her up against him, feeling how soft she was. Louise went up on her tiptoes and kissed him.

"My mother is very impressed with you. Don't be scared, but she's already planning our wedding and how many grandkids she's going to have." He laughed but Louise looked at him seriously. "Really?" He shrugged. "Don't worry. She won't actually do anything until I propose." Louise pulled back from him, "Whoa. Slow it down there Berry Bush. Nobody's proposing anytime soon." He grabbed her chin and dipped his head down to capture her lips. "No, but one day. When you're finished school and we take the next step of maybe moving in together, then I may be ready to ask you. Now, I may need to ask multiple times because of how damn stubborn you are, but one day you will say yes to me. I don't know how much clearer I need to be, but I am never letting you go." Even if she was scared of giving in to her innermost desires, she felt it in her heart. They really were end game.
