I awoke to the sound of a fire trucks' siren as it blared past my house. I stretched my arms and turned around under my covers as the sunlight from outside beamed into my room. I smiled at the sight of Logan still asleep, his chest going up and down, the same speed as his breath. His hair was lightly tousled and he had a pleased look on his face. I yawned, pulling the covers off myself and went to look out the window.
The sunlight shone over the city, making it look bright. I held my hands on my hips as Logan's morning voice rung in my ears. "Morning, beautiful." I turned around to see Logan squinting at you as his eyes adjusted to the sun light.
"Morning, handsome," I replied, crawling over the covers to get to him.
He smiled as he kissed my head, playing with my hair. "You pack yet?"
"Nope," I replied, guilt free. As long as his arms were around me, I couldn't care less about anything else.
"Well, you better get a move on," he said, giving me a look.
I rolled my eyes but pushed myself off the bed. Logan slapped my butt and I shot him a glare but I only got a smug smirk in return. I grumbled as I pulled out my luggage and started shoving in several t-shirts and jeans. Logan heads off to the washroom to brush his teeth, and get dressed.
"Hey, Caitlin," Logan calls from the washroom.
"Yeah?" I shot back, shoving a pair of flats into my suitcase.
"Can you text one of the guys and ask them if we can meet up and someone's house to say goodbye?"
"Why can't you?"
"I'm peeing. If you want me to come out - "
"No, no, I've got it," I quickly exclaimed, reaching over for his phone and texting Kendall. "Kendall said we can meet at the apartment."
"Coolio," Logan replies. "Hey, you still have the clothes I left here in case I slept over, right?"
"Nope, threw em' out."
"Caitlin!"
"Joking. Third drawer on the left." I zipped up the first suitcase and opened the second. "Find it?"
"Yeah," he said, opening the door. He came out the washroom wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of grey jeans. I raised an eyebrow as he made his way over to me, grinning. "I know, I know, I look amazing."
I hoisted myself up to meet his eyes. "Somebody's confidant."
"I'm always confidant," he smiles. When I gave him a look he continued. "Want to know why?"
I continued to meet Logan's gaze. "Why, Captain Confidant?"
"Because you always make me look better."
"I don't - Does that even make sense?"
"I don't know, I don't care." Still smiling, Logan bent down to kiss me. His lips were soft and warm, and he tasted like minty toothpaste. His arms went around me and he pulled me close, deepening the kiss. It felt good to be in his arms. Logan's hands slid down my back to cup my butt. He pressed me hard against him, grinding intimately into me. I smiled into the kiss and he pulled apart, the same expression on his face.
"Let me finish packing," I said, pushing him off me and throwing a pair of jeans into the luggage.
"You sure pack light for a girl," Logan said, glancing at my bag.
"I can borrow your clothes if needed, can't I?" I asked, winking at him.
"Oh, totally," he grinned.
In another few minutes, I had finished packing and we both threw my luggage in the trunk, headed off to the boys apartment.
"D told me we're going to need someone to cover Erin's part on the show," Logan told me when we were halfway to the apartment. "We need a cover up story for why she's leaving. Or her character."
"Can't she do one last episode before she leaves for Florida?" I asked.
Logan shrugs. "I don't even know when she's leaving."
"Hey, does that mean we're going to miss her Bon Voyage party since we'll be in Texas?"
"Believe me, that's a good thing," Logan chuckles. I giggled just as Logan pulled into the parking lot to the hotel and we headed up to their room. As Logan unlocked the door, I held back a sigh knowing I'd be leaving Katelyn behind. Who'd I go to for girl-to-girl talks? Logan's mother? I glanced at Logan as he fumbled with the keys. Sure, why not. She probably understands Logan more than anybody else. "Hello? Anybody awake?" Logan calls as he finally gets the door open.
"Hey, buddy," James greets, glancing up from the TV. "Came to pick up your luggage?"
"Yep, then off to Texas," Logan nods, starting to walk to his room. "The others awake yet?"
"Katelyn's with Kendall in his room and Carlos is in the kitchen." James gestured to the side.
As if on cue, Carlos comes out with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. "Hey, you two."
"Hey Carlos," I smiled, reaching for a kernel. "We came to pick up Logan's luggage." He nods and we continue to Logan's room. We pasted Kendall's room and I listened with interest as Katelyn's laugh leaked through the door. Logan pushed open the door to his room and I plop myself down on his bed.
"Let me just finish up," Logan said, zipping up his luggage and making them stand straight. "Alright. Let's go sat bye and head off to Texas."
I glanced at his clock and stared at surprise at the time. "I didn't realize how late it was." His clock read the time 1:25.
"Yeah, well, we're both heavy sleepers," Logan chuckled.
I shrugged and stood up. "Should we have lunch with the others before we leave?"
"It seems like the right thing to do." Logan nodded.
I helped Logan push his luggage out to the living room where Carlos and James were watching the hockey game intensively.
"How does lunch sound?" I asked as the two boys started bumped each other excitedly.
"Go, go, go, go!" James bit his lip.
"C'mon, c'mooooon," Carlos urged.
"Yo, guys," Logan called.
"GOOOOOOAL," the two boys leapt from the couch and started doing victory dances or whatever that was. Jarlos, I thought rolling my eyes.
"What's going - Caitlin!" Katelyn grinned, hugging me. "I was wondering when you two would come."
"We came a few minutes ago," I explained, glad to see my best friend. "We were asking if you guys wanted to go out for lunch before we left."
"Sounds good to me," Kendall answered, coming out from behind Katelyn. "That is, if these two goofballs can pull their eyes from the screen."
I stared at the two boys who were still dancing and I shook my head before jumping on James. He caught me on his back and burst out laughing. "I SAID, DO YOU WANT TO GO FOR LUNCH?" I felt his legs go weak due to surprise and he fell on to the couch. I pinned him down and reached over to flick off the TV.
"Sure, Cait. Lunch sounds great," James managed to say.
I climbed off of him and stared at him with triumph and pride. "Good." I looked over to Carlos who was staring at me in awe. "And you, Mr. Pena?"
He nodded, a smile slowly appeared on his face. "You totally just took out James."
"I LET HER TAKE ME DOWN," James defended.
"Sure, buddy," Logan laughed, finally joining in the conversation.
"Did you ever consider joining the military, Cait?" Kendall joked, cocking his head to the side.
"Erm, no," I frowned before laughing.
"I LET HER WIN," James exclaimed. "Try taking me down again, Cait."
"No thanks." I shook my head, holding up a hand. "I think I'll pass."
"She caught me by surprise, that's how she won," James said to Kendall, not giving up.
"Okay, Mr. Muscle," Logan said, raising an eyebrow.
"I DO have muscle!"
"And then get taken down by a girl," Carlos chuckled.
"Is that some sexist joke?" I wrinkled my nose and placed my hands on my hips.
"No," Carlos assured.
"Where's your dignity, man?" Kendall laughed.
"Just watch, Cait. One day, I'll take you down," James warned.
"You better not touch her," Logan said, holding a fist up jokingly.
"C'mon, you nerd herd," Katelyn said, ushering us out the door. "I'm hungry."
Lunch was a blur. The time past by quick and soon, it was 4:30 and Logan and I had to leave for Texas.
"Bring me back a souvenir, huh, you two?" Kendall raised an eyebrow while giving me a hug.
"Right." I nodded.
"Yeah right," I heard Logan mutter.
"Better keep me updated!" Katelyn exclaims before giving us both hug.
"Sure thing," I smiled.
"Stay out of trouble," James winked, making me giggle.
"Call me when you guys get there!" Carlos exclaimed.
"You sound like my mom, Carlos," Logan laughed as he opened the car door and let me in.
"It was the only thing that wasn't taken." Carlos huffed.
"Well, we're going to go now," Logan said, giving them a peace sign before hopping in the driver seat. "See you guys in a few weeks!"
"Don't have too much fun without us!" Katelyn waved as we drove off.
"Well, Caitlin, I do believe our Texan adventure starts here." Logan said, grinning. He looked so excited and in my heart, I knew I was too.
