Logan escorted Louise to the table.
Everyone around them gasped at the beautiful woman on Logan's arm. He walked Louise to her seat next to Dodie and her husband.
Logan slowly let go of Louise, not wanting to lose her.
After he did let her go, he walked back to his seat in between Charlotte and Cynthia, across from her.
Charlotte's face was turning as red as her bright red lipstick.
"You see that, envy came to visit," Dodie whispered to Louise.
Louise quietly laughed.
"Who is that?!" Charlotte whispered to Logan.
"Remember that trash the bumped into me?" Logan whispered back.
"That's her!" she gasped.
"Consider her a person now?" Logan snapped.
"Well, who is this beautiful woman who stole our breath?" Sully smiled.
"Louise Belcher's the name," Louise smiled.
"Wow what a beautiful name."
"Daddy!" Charlotte hissed.
"It is, you know I had a ex wife named Louise."
"What happened?" Louise asked him.
"She died, but at the hospital I met Charlotte's mother so things worked out," he laughed.
"What does the name Louise even mean?!" Charlotte barked.
"Warrior," Louise answered.
"Well, I think it's dumb!"
"Charlotte!" Sully barked. "Be nice to our guest!"
"So Miss Louise, tell us about you," Cynthia gave a fake smile.
"Well there isn't much to know," Louise shrugged.
"Please do tell, what is it like staying in lower class?" Cynthia asked with a evil smirk.
'Well, bitch wanna play,' Louise thought.
"Great really. I haven't seen any rats so I'd say pretty good," Louise answered.
Almost everyone at the table laughed.
Cynthia didn't even chuckle nor did Charlotte.
"So why are you here?!" Charlotte hissed.
"Because of Logan," Louise smiled at him with Logan trying very hard not to blush. "I just wanted you guys to know that Logan's a real hero, he saved my life."
"Wow Logan that's actually really nice," Aubrey told him.
"That's my boy!" Sully cheered.
"He's also a really great artist," Louise said.
"Oh those little drawings he does, they're ok," Charlotte rolled her eyes.
"They're amazing," she corrected her. "Logan's really talented."
"Well that's my son, full of potential," Cynthia smiled.
They talked about the Seaic with Captain Bruce Curtis and their wealthy fortunes. Louise just listened when they talked about the fortunes. Stealing glances with Logan when no one, meaning Cynthia and Charlotte, was looking, but Dodie noticed.
"Hey Missy, too lost in those eyes to realize he's engaged," Dodie whispered laughing.
"Is looking at someone a crime?" she whispered back.
"The wat he's looking at you, wouldn't be surprised if something happened."
"We're just friends."
"I don't look at my friends like that," Dodie giggled.
"Shh!" she hissed.
Soon the food, which was grilled chicken and veggies with some wine, came.
Louise looked down at her eight silverware. The little fork, middle fork, and big fork and other little and big carp she didn't know the name of other than the size of it.
"What?" she whispered.
Dodie saw how confused Louise was and leaned over.
"Just start from the end and work yourself in," she whispered.
The rest of the dinner, Sully told the funny story of Charlotte's birth.
"So I rushed to the hospital, ready for Sullivan Jr., but after six hours of Barbie cursing me about about getting her pregnant, still no baby!" he laughed.
Everyone else at the table laughed too.
"It was after Barbie wished me to hell that I saw the most disgusting thing, my princess. Yeah I was mad it wasn't a boy. I actually wanted to name her Sulla, but Barbie said no and we got Charlotte. You know, the first thing Charlotte did when she was born. She pooped!"
Everyone laughed except Charlotte and Cynthia.
"Then she cried!" he laughed.
"Daddy!" Charlotte said embarrassed.
"What?" he smiled. "One day you two will have a baby and then have a even better story to tell."
Charlotte smiled at Logan, who was trying his best not to make eye contact.
Louise tried not to laugh at Logan's actions.
Dodie told the story of how she met her husband Lionel.
"And with him shaking in his shoes, literally, he asked me on a date next thing I know we're married and I'm having five bad little babies," she laughed.
Everyone else laughed.
A tall waiter in a suit walked up to Louise with a big silver tray. He set a bowl filled with black and green stuff in it on her empty china.
"What is this?" she quietly asked the waiter.
"Caviar Miss," he answered.
"That is?"
"Fish eggs."
"What?" she was holding down her vomit.
"Fish eggs," he repeated.
"I'll pass."
He picked it up and put it back.
'Rich people eat the grossest stuff,' Louise thought as she watched Charlotte eat the black eggs. She was scarfing it down.
Logan and Dodie also didn't eat the caviar.
After everyone finished eating, all the men at the table stood up.
"What's happening?" Louise whispered to Dodie.
"Well after dinner all the men go to the golf room and talk about men things," Dodie whispered back.
"Oh.." she said. "Well then I must be going," Louise stood.
"You have to leave?" Charlotte smirked.
"Yeah, have to get back to my lower class friends or envy will be visiting everyone."
They laughed.
"I should walk you to your room," Logan said walking up to Louise, trying his best not to smile in front of everyone.
"That's a good idea, we don't need another saving like last night," Dodie said.
"Well guess it's just us," Sully said and the men walked away.
"Logan?" Charlotte wined.
"I'll only be gone for a minute, just enjoy your time with the ladies and I'll see you tonight," Logan said.
They said goodbye and they left.
Louise and Logan walked silently on the decks until Logan spoke.
"Tonight was fun," he said walking beside her with his hands in his pockets.
"You don't have to talk," Louise said.
"I want to, is something wrong?"
"You really shouldn't be walking me."
"Why not?"
She shrugged.
"Look at me," she sighed.
"What? You look amazing!"
"You have a fiance!"
"I know."
"Logan, I didn't like those stares you were giving me!" Louise went down the white metal stairs with Logan following. "And your fiance was right next to you!"
"Louise?! You looked at me!"
"I don't know why I did! I shouldn't have done that and you shouldn't be walking me to my room!" Louise began to speed up.
"Why can't I?" he tried to catch up with her as she rushed.
"You know why!"
"No actually I don't. Charlotte was fine with it."
"No she wasn't, you just didn't give her time to say no!" Louise argued. "You rushed me out so fast I didn't have time to say goodbye."
"Well, she would have said yes!"
"No she wouldn't! The way you're were looking at me, she's probably thinking the exact same thing any woman would be thinking in her shoes."
"And what is she thinking?"
Louise stopped instantly, making Logan almost hit her. She swung around to Logan, stepping up one step closer to Logan. She put her face one inch away from his, staring straight into his deep blue eyes. Being seconds away from kissing him. She was slowly moving in when Logan's eyes began to close his eyes and accepted his fate. Louise stopped her leaning and slapped Logan across the face.
"Awe! What the-" he yelled, but she quickly cut him off.
"See! No, no kiss! You're getting married!"
"You were leaning it!"
"It was a test!"
"Well I didn't know!"
"This is why you shouldn't be walking me!" Louise snapped at him, continuing to walk down the long set of stairs.
"I didn't know it was a test!" he snapped back.
"You shouldn't need to know its a test not to kiss me! That's why you shouldn't be here with me. I don't need your fiance or anyone else thinking we had… sex!" she whispered the last part. She looked around, making sure no one was around.
"We're not going to do that, why would you think we'd do that?!"
"You almost kissed me!"
"Ok, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
"Thank you," Louise smiled.
"Never doing that again, but I'm still walking you to your room."
Louise sighed.
"Fine come on," she rushed down the stairs with Logan trying to keep up.
Once they got down the long tight stairway, there was loud music coming down the left hallway.
"What's that?" Logan asked Louise.
She shrugged.
"A party," she answered. "You can leave now, I'm here. So go."
"Come let's go see it," he said eagerly.
"Logan!" she sighed. "It's just a party!"
"I love parties!" he said pulling her to the sound.
"No!" she quietly hissed. "Stop it!"
Logan pulled her all the way to the large bright dining room for the lower class. A classical four suited men band played violins and cellos. People were dancing on the wooden table and almost anything with a solid surface.
"Logan! Let's go!"
"No, come on." He pulled her to the bar. "Two beers please," Logan said to the bartender.
"You know this is cheap, right?" Louise smirked.
"Yeah beer is beer, some's just cheaper."
The bartender handed him two big glasses of beer.
Logan tried to hand Louise one.
"I'm not thirsty," she rejected.
Logan shrugged.
"Ok," he drunk some of his and put both down on the counter. "Want to dance?" Logan offered his hand.
Louise groaned.
"Fine," she sighed.
"Great!" he pulled her to the dance floor.
"Maybe we shouldn't. I change my mind," she said.
"To late!" Logan lead them as they spun around on the crowded dance floor.
"Logan, stop!" she hissed, but he ignored.
Louise looked around, trying to find someone she knew. She didn't need her family finding this, she wasn't even okay with strangers watching her horribly dance. Louise was never a good dancer, but Logan had some skills. Louise noticed something or someone staring. Yeah they were dancing in the center of the room, catching everyone's eyes, but this pair was familiar. They were hiding in the one dark spot of the bright energetic room. These eyes were full of hate. A hate she knew. She stared confused at these mysterious eyes until she realized.
"Lester!" she hissed.
"Huh?" Logan asked.
"Nothing," she quickly answered still looking.
Logan spun her from Lester's site and once she got view again, Lester was gone.
"That's weird," she muttered.
"What?" Logan asked confused.
"Just dance me," she smiled. "Please."
Logan nod and they continued dancing, staring in each other's eyes as the spun. Louise was slowly starting to enjoy the dancing, loosening up. She started feeling the music. Louise was getting into the music and let loose.
Soon Logan was struggling to keep up.
"Can you keep up?" Louise smirked.
"I don't know anymore," he laughed,
"Come on Barry!" she cheered and everyone else cheered too.
"I'll do my best."
xXxXx
"We have a problem!" Lester said into the dark room.
Cynthia turned to Lester, upset.
"What?!" she hissed.
"The Belcher!" he answered. "They were dancing! Close together! They almost kissed!"
Cynthia laughed which made Lester confused.
"What?" he asked lost.
"Logan, this girl he's wasting time with will not ruin this mission!" she snapped.
"But-" she cut him off.
"No one can ruin this mission not even this Belcher or my dumb son. Logan will do whatever his mommy tells him to, so we don't need to worry about her!" she barked.
"What if he falls for her?!"
"My son will never lower himself to that. He's got Charlotte and her money! He'll keep his mother happy!"
"Do we tell Charlotte?"
"Are you crazy?! She doesn't need to worry her pretty little head!" Cynthia yelled.
"Yes, yes madam," he nod.
"Good boy. Now here give this to Logan." She handed Lester a grape purple furry jewelry box.
He opened it and gasped.
"A rare blue diamond-"
"Necklace yes," she finished. "They say it's the heart of the ocean."
"How did you?"
"I have a friend, now you tell Logan to give this to Charlotte!"
Lester nod and started to walk away.
"And Lester?" she called out.
"Yes?" he looked back.
"You know why people kill bugs before they grow?"
"Why?"
"So they can kill the problem before it gets out of hand! So kill ours!"
He nod and left.
xXxXx
Logan walked into his suite with Charlotte staring at herself in her wooden vanity. He slowly walked up to her, putting the necklace on her. The shine of the large blue diamond shining in the mirror.
"Logan!" she gasped.
He smiled at her in the mirror.
"You look beautiful," he kissed her cheek.
She turned to him.
"Oh Logan, I love it!" she cried jumping in his arms.
"I love you," he smiled.
"I love you so much!" she kissed him.
Charlotte danced in the mirror looking at her diamond.
As Logan picked up the jewelry box, a note fell out. He opened it and saw his mother handwriting.
'Family takes care of family,' was all the note said, but to Logan it said a hundred more and he understood.
"Family takes care of family," he repeated.
xXxXx
