Chapter Fifteen
Georgie wasn't a happy camper. The doctor that had treated her refused to give medical clearance for her to fly home. Even five days after suffering the concussion she was experiencing bouts of lightheadedness and tired easily. Until all the lingering symptoms cleared the physician refused to even consider letting her fly back to Port Charles. But that wasn't the only thing adding to her mood. Mac, Maxie, and Coop had all left the day before. Her sister's constant bad mouthing of her relationship with Logan had planted seeds of doubts, seeds that were planting roots and taking hold. Flopping into the deck chair on the upstairs balcony, she stared unseeing out at the breathtaking view of the ocean.
Logan's continuous support since she had woken at the hospital had her struggling with the decision she'd reached early this morning. The arrogant, cocky, and reckless man possessed many hidden layers that he rarely showed to others. But it was those qualities, the protectiveness, gentleness, and caring side that caused her heart to pound and her body to soften whenever he looked at her with his light blue eyes that saw into her very soul. Georgie knew she would never be whole again, not after the imaginable horrors Diego had inflicted. He deserved better, someone who could sleep through the night without waking screaming or crying out in fear.
Watching her unnoticed from the sliding glass doors, Logan's body practically hummed with dread. He knew she was pulling back, creating excuses just like Elizabeth had warned him she would. Insecurity washed over him and his gut clenched. There was no way that he was going to just let Georgie shove him away, not after finally finding her. The connection they shared was too special, too rare to give up because she was afraid. It simply wouldn't happen, he refused to accept it.
"The view is incredible," he murmured after clearing his throat so he didn't startle her.
Georgie glanced over at him but quickly looked away when she saw the knowledge in his eyes. "Um, it's really beautiful."
Sitting in the chair next to hers, Logan stretched out his long legs. "You've been quiet since this morning, doll. You wanna tell me what's going through that pretty little head of yours."
"What? Nothing. I'm just tired, that's all."
"Georgie girl, I thought we already established that you can't lie very well." Firmly grasping her wrist when she started to stand, he tugged her back down to the chair. Swinging his body around to face her, he framed her face in his larger hands, forcing her to look at him. "Georgie, please, don't do this. I can see it in your eyes. Why are you intent on ruining a chance at happiness?"
"Lo," she whispered as tears slid down her pale cheeks. "Lo, I c-can't do this n-now."
"You can," he argued, pain shooting through his chest at the shattered expression she wore. "If you can pretend that what we share means nothing, then you sure as hell can explain why." His own voice shook and he swallowed, trying to regain control of his emotions. His fingertips barely skimmed the silky smooth skin under them. "Georgie, you've stayed strong through the impossible, don't start hiding now. Make me understand what is going on in that gorgeous head of yours."
Her shoulders slumped and her lips trembled. "God, Lo, can't you see it? I'm broken! I can't even sleep through the night without falling apart! Do you think I like knowing that I'm damaged? Because I am!"
Stunned by the words tumbling from her mouth, Logan moved over and pulled her into his lap, cradling her to his chest. "You are NOT broken or damaged, Georgie! Diego was demented, evil, and twisted. You, baby girl, did nothing to deserve what happened! Nothing!" Resting his head on top of hers, he breathed in her scent. "When I look at you, I see a beautiful and courageous woman. A woman that's been hurt and was strong enough to survive while reaching for her dreams. I see the woman I fell in love with," he whispered against her ear. "The woman that I'd do anything for, except for walk…"
"You can't love me!" Her wide terrified eyes jerked to his. "You can do better!"
Grasping her chin and forcing her to maintain eye contact with him, Logan's normally shadowed eyes held only confidence and determination. "You don't get to pick who I love, darlin. And there is not another woman on this planet that I want more than you. You, Georgie, and only you complete me. You put back the lightness in my soul that was lacking, doll."
Unable to look away from him, Georgie swallowed hard. She had seen his softer side in the time they had been together evading Diego, but never expected the perfect words. Resolve weakening, she tried once more to untangle herself from his comforting arms. "Lo, it will never work. We're too different, want opposite things in life."
"Georgie, I love you, doll. You are all I want. I'm stubborn and bullheaded. I ain't letting you give up on us, no way."
Logan captured her mouth with his, silencing the frantic denial before she could utter the words that were killing him inside. His fingers threaded through her silky hair as he urged her to open her mouth, groaning as she finally gave in with a moan of her own. When her arms circled his neck, Logan eased back in the chair, keeping her on his lap as the walls finally crumbled and she gave in, taking control of the kiss with an urgency that rocked him.
Suddenly sitting back on his thighs, she blinked at him with a sexy grin curving her lips. "Say it again," she ordered while her fingers danced along his chest and over his sculpted abs.
He lifted an eyebrow, unsure of the creature on his lap. The need and passion filling her dark eyes had him swallowing hard, fighting to contain the intense passion she ignited within him. Whatever had changed within Georgie, it had been in their favor. His eyes connected with hers and held steady. "I love you, doll," he huskily breathed.
"Oh God! I love you too, Lo. I just thought..."
"I know exactly what you thought," he growled while tracing the curve of her hips. "And for once, you were wrong, pretty girl."
She would've laughed if his talented hands hadn't been sending shivers throughout her entire body. Instead Georgie lost herself in the pleasure. The slightly teasing touches were driving her crazy. Needing more, she suddenly unsnapped his jeans and inched the zipper past his obvious arousal. "Now, I need you now!" she practically whimpered breathlessly.
Sliding his hand under her skirt, Logan's fingers pushed aside the lacy panties covering her. Wetness coated his fingers as he brought her close to the edge by circling her clit, teasing her relentlessly. The light yelp she released when his middle finger entered her had him nipping at her neck while he watched her closely. Right as she was getting ready to fall over the edge, he moved swiftly, lifting and guiding her onto him while surging his hips forward.
Georgie screamed as her muscles tightened around him. Her nails dug into his shoulders as waves of ecstasy crashed through her. Logan gripped her hips, setting a rhythm and pace he knew would send her back over the edge.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Logan plopped onto a stool beside Cooper and looked around Kelly's. Him and Georgie had arrived back in Port Charles yesterday morning after spending seven days at Jason's villa. Concerned that Georgie had insisted on going back to work immediately, he was relieved to see that the diner was almost empty on her first shift back. "Hey, buddy."
Coop smiled. "Good to have you back in the States, man."
"Hmm. I kinda missed this crazy town."
"Somehow from yours and Georgie's happy expressions, I think you made good use of the time away." Coop lowered his voice as his eyes became serious. "Maxie's not thrilled, man. But I talked her into letting you two be. Georgie's been through a lot. And if you make her happy and bring that glow to her eyes, I hope you keep it up."
"Oh, I plan to." He slapped Coop on the shoulder as the door jingled again. Looking over and seeing Lulu entering, he just lifted an eyebrow at the way she was hanging all over Dillon. Nudging his pal, he jerked his head in her direction. "I thought that she was playin games with Milo and Spinelli now."
"Yeah, well, I think that is for Georgie's benefit. Lulu kinda lost it when she heard Maxie bitching about you and Georgie right before we got the last call from you guys."
Snorting in disgust, Logan shook his head. "That blond has some major issues."
Just then Georgie walked out of the back. Her brown eyes landed on Logan and a bright smile graced her lips. "Hey! I thought you had to work." Leaning over the counter, she gave him a sweet kiss.
"I was, but I'm off now. I was hoping you felt up for a night out."
Surprised, she bit her lip. "Hmm. What do you have in mind?"
"Probably a night at Jake's," Lulu tossed out. "He's a redneck, Georgie. Remember? Drinking and fighting are his main qualities."
Smiling sweetly at her ex and his stepsister, she just shook her head in annoyance. Everything with Lulu was a competition and Dillon never cared unless he thought Georgie might be moving on. She was sick of their games.
Logan chuckled, knowing exactly what the blond was up to. "Naw, doll, not Jake's. I was thinkin more along the lines of a nice dinner and then heading into the city to see that opera you've been rattling on about."
"Opera?" She blinked. "I didn't think you liked that type of stuff, Lo."
"Not really my thing, but I know ya want to see it. Besides, then I can blackmail you into the concert next week. Whatcha say, doll? You feel up to it?"
"I'd love too," she enthused happily.
"You cool if Zacchara and his date, Nadine catch up with us for dinner?"
"Of course." She stroked his hand. "I'm happy that you two made peace."
"For you doll, anything." Standing he nuzzled her neck before placing a soft kiss on her lips. Winking, he backed up. "I'll see ya at home."
Dillon waited until the other man left before approaching the counter. "Georgie, you can't really think that you and that hick…"
"Watch it," Coop growled.
"Dillon, please save it. Go back to Lulu and just leave me alone. I'm happier than I've ever been. Try and find that for yourself."
"Your precious good girl routine will bore Logan soon enough. If I couldn't keep him, I know you don't stand a chance," Lulu taunted.
"Considering that we eloped two days ago, Lulu, I seriously doubt Logan is wanting out anytime soon." Smirking at their shock, she shook her head. "Grow up and get a life. I'm over your drama."
"Bet your father just loves that. You getting knocked up and all."
"Maybe if I was, I could answer you one way or another, but since I'm not pregnant, Mac isn't that concerned over my nonexistent child. Otherwise, he respects my decision."
Maxie entered the diner and shuddered at the reminder of her baby sister marrying Logan. Biting back her own feelings, she narrowed her eyes at the tramp. "Just do us all a favor, Lulu. Stick with Dillon and stay the hell away from my sister's relationship." Just because she didn't like her sister being with the bad boy didn't mean she trusted Lulu not to interfere with Georgie's life.
"Maxie, thank you, but please stop." Georgie turned and looked at her ex-boyfriend and the girl that had been a thorn in her side since she arrived back from boarding school. "Look, I love Logan and he loves me. Nothing is going to come between us. Just stop with the games."
Coop groaned as they stomped out of Kelly's. "Everyone being that supportive, kid?"
Georgie's eyes twinkled. "Some, but it doesn't matter. Falling for Logan was a dangerous chance, but we love each other, Coop. nothing and no one will change that."
A/N: Inspiration for this Glo fic hit a major snag after I took a break from writing for a while. I hope this ending isn't too horrible. I have been working on another Glo story with a triangle involved. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews and those that have read the story. I appreciate all your support.
