Chapter 10 :: Up Against The Wall
Carlos (POV) ::
The shower with Logie was really nice. Logan's Shower was pretty cool too, instead of the single shower head that a normal shower would have, Logan had two. One from either side so we could have our own source of water, but ended just using the one so we could take turns while the other washes the one in front. It was nice because there was nothing sexual behind it. Just fun and love. There was the occasional make out and spanking, but it never escalated into something more than that. He also had an assortment of body wash. He had a bunch of fruity flavors a several other scents that were simple yet bold. I ended up deciding to use "Beach Island Cotton", while Logan chose "Pure seduction.". I immediately became drawn to this smell. It was luscious and rich and was pretty smelling, like strong fruit mixed with flowers. Logan had complemented me on my choice and said it suited me well. When I asked why, it was because of the scent. The body wash smelled like cotton with a hint of sandalwood. The cotton was very strong and Logan explained that the comforting scent of the cotton reminded him of the fabric softener with the snuggle bear. He said that his name for me was perfect, now that I smelled like a teddy bear. I couldn't help, but fall even deeper for Logan's cute mannerisms.. He just had these random thoughts, that made me want to fall in love with him more...
After the shower we toweled off and he gave me a rubdown with the body cream from the same scent as the body wash. He covered every inch of my skin and I was caked in it. He rubbed it very slowly and massaged me in all the right places. Especially my pecs and back. He hit the pressure points perfectly, making me moan in the process. He just smiled and kept going and kissed me on the neck every so often. When he was finished I told him I wanted to do the same to him. He agreed and asked what scent I wanted. He took me to his bathroom and opened up a cabinet with the same variety of scents as the body washes in the shower. I decided to pick something different from the body wash. I opened each one up, thinking hard and carefully while I closed my eyes trying to picture one that would suit Logan. I opened one called "Twilight Woods.", It was good, but definitely not Logie. I put in back and opened up another called "Black Amethyst", I sniffed and wrinkled my nose. It was too floral for him. I wanted something bold and strong, but with zing to it. I almost gave up when I picked one tub up, opened it, took a whiff and instantly fell for it.
"THIS ONE!" exclaiming and turning to face him. It was called "Brazilian Carnival." I looked at the label and it read 'The airy scent of lush green açai berry palms that billow in the Amazon winds." It was perfect for Logan. I never smelt anything so good! It was an absolutely delicious scent that made your mouth water.
"Good choice, Carlitos." he said. Smiling, I grabbed his hand and laid him down on the bed. Doing what he did to me; I did right back to him. This smell was so addicting! It suited Logan so, and i'll always remember it as him. After I got done. I picked up him bridal style and kissed him full on the mouth. He kissed me back and wrapped his arms around my neck and nuzzled into my shoulder. I set him down on the bed and joined him. I curled his hair with my fingers and remembered James' situation.
"I was thinking we should we hang out James today." I said. Logan turned his head and kissed me.
"Okay, but are you sure I should go? I mean, we don't really know each other and I don't want him to feel uncomfortable. Logan, I just met you almost two days ago and we proclaimed ourselves to be each others soul-mates. He'll love you okay?" Logan looked at me with doubt and worry on his face.
"Look if it makes you feel any better, I'll ask him if it's okay. Sound good?" I offered.
"Okay pooh bear." he simply replied. CUUUUUUUUTE! POOH BEAR! I HAD to kiss him after that last comment. That was one the cutest things someone has ever said to me.
"What was that for?" Logan asked
"That was totally cute!... Pooooooh bear." I laughed. Logan just handed me my phone and laid his head on my shoulder. I hit call on James' contact info and put the phone up to my ear. I waited for him to pick up and let it ring for almost the maximum amount, but he answered. "Hey what's up? Are you coming over?" James asked.
"Yeah, do you mind if I bring Logan over", holding my breath for his answer.
"No, that's cool bro. He seems like a pretty cool dude, and I think I should get to know him better anyway."
"Why is that?" Curious to his response.
"I'll let you know when you guys get here." he hung up and I set the phone down and snickered at Logan.
"See? He totally likes you. And he said-"
"I know. I heard." Logan said, cutting me off. "I wonder what he meant by that.."
"I know right?.." agreeing with my pale man.
"Well." Logan just said getting up from his bed. "Let's get dressed." Holding his hand out. I grabbed it and we routinely went through the penguin walk to his closet.
"I love this Carlos." Logan spoke up.
"Me too" I agreed.
We got to the closet and wriggled out of my grasp one again and searched the rack. "What do you want to wear Bear?"
"Anything is fine, they're your clothes." he looked at me and frowned.
"Baaaaabe, clothes are so materialistic. I don't care about them. Plus, I can just go out and get new ones if need be." I smiled at him... He truly is perfect... Unaffected wh so ever by greed.
"Thanks Logie." pecking him on the lips.
"Okay, lets find you something to wear. Is there anything you don't like?"
"I'm not a cardigan guy, I usually wear sweaters, thermals or simple t's. But i'm starting to get into designer tank tops." I said.
"Awesome, I have just the thing." Logan took 8 steps back while looking to the rack and pulled out a Chocolate over coat, took two steps back, pulled out a forest green jacket and took one large side step to the side and pulled out a black think v-neck. He put those over his shoulder and walked forward back up to me and kissed me, then continued on to the front. He pulled out some dark straight cut flared jeans. He walked back over to me and handed me the clothes.
"Try these and tell me what you think." he said.
"Okay babe. I kissed them and started to put them on when I realized something...
"uhhhh Logie?" I turned to face him and saw that he was right behind holding out some boxers. I grabbed them and kissed on the lips and said thank you. He was about to turn away when I dropped the clothes to the floor and grabbed his arms and pulled him into a kiss. He was surprised but kissed back nonetheless. I kissed his lips then kissed down to his chin and sucked on his neck. I kept sucking and sucking until a thought assaulted my mind. "OH NO."
"What's wrong babe?" Logan asked. "Our necks. If James sees, won't he suspect?" I explained, worried. Our necks looked like someone had strangled us both severely. Dark purple blotches everywhere He just laughed and responded. "I don't think we have to worry about that. I'm pretty sure he knows. I think that's what he meant about getting to me better. He probably figured something was going on, it only makes sense. Besides, he and Kendall are gay, he has no reason to rebuke us love."
"Wow..."i said with shock.." Okay... well that's surprising... Ummm well I hope that's what was going on. You sure are smart my Logie." I said hugging him tightly.
"Thanks Carlitos...Now get dressed. We don't want to keep him waiting." Logan said while slapping my pecs. I did as he said and was completely shocked at how well the clothes fit, but mostly from how good I looked. I watched myself in the mirror and admired at the out fitt. Logan has style alright.
"How do I look?" a voice asked from behind. I turned to see Logan, looking like a freaking model angel from my dreams. Logan was wearing tan designer khaki pants, a gray leather jacket, with a slightly darker shade of gray scarf wrapped around his neck and a cotton white v-neck. I stuttered my response..."Y-y-you l-look...REALLLLLY GOOD BABE LOVE" Logan turned tomato red again and smiled. "Thanks Bear... Almost done. He came up to me and hugged me and said.
"You look pretty fine yourself hunky man." Logan said, raising his eyebrows and biting his lip, but he stopped composed himself. "Not now, I realize." we both laughed. He led me to the very back of the closet and opened up the drawers for two pairs of black socks. He handed me one we put them on.
"Now we must choose shoes." He turned around to debate on what he would wear. The other part of the wall was filled with cubicles for his shoes. SO MANY SHOES! "I'm gonna wear these gray ones. Logan pulled out a light gray pair of vans with white fluff trim around the edges. "Choose whatever you want babe" he said. I scoped the cubicles and found an pair of shoes identical to Logan's only this pair was black. "Good choice bear" he said laughing." We put on the shoes, got our phones and walked out the room, ready to see James.
Logan drove pretty fast today. I guess he felt daring today. What happened to the shy timid guy back at school? This was probably the real Logan, he was just shy. REALLY SHY, but once you peeled off the layers, he was just like everyone else. I LOVED HIM! The drive was quiet enough. It was a comfortable car ride, and that's all I wanted it to be. I put my hand on the shift and he placed his hand over it while he drove. It was cute... Is he fareal? I wondered... I hope so, cause this guy... maaaaan...
We arrived at James' house about 12min later. We parked the car in the driveway and gave each other a quick kiss. I could sense Logan's reluctance so I squeezed his hand and rubbed his thumb "Don't be nervous Logie," "Ok Carlitos." he smiled. We got out of the car and closed the doors and Logan put the alarm on. James' house was a nice house, but nothing compared to Logan's house. James lived in the good neighborhood where poverty didn't affect the town. "ready?" I asked. He just shook his head and we walked down the path and rang the doorbell. James opened the door a few seconds later and gave a warm greeting.
"Hey you guys!" James greeted. Clearly trying to hide his sadness. "What's up Logan. Carlooooooossss." he winked. "Come on in you two," We walked in and took off our shoes and James took us to one of the living rooms. James' house was a pretty nice house. Cream colored walls with some art hanging on the walls. Comfy black leather furniture. Fireplace and white soft carpet. James' had on some music in the background. It was "Up Against The Wall" by 'Boys Like Girls'. James' favorite band. "Make yourselves at home." he said. We sat down and Logan sat right next to me. He slid his hand over to his side and rubbed his finger on my leg. I looked at him and smiled, giving him reassurance.
"Alright James. What's going on?" I asked unenthusiastically,
'I don't know, I mean... Carlos I know you already know. Even though we tried to tell you different." James replied..
"You mean about seeing you guys kiss? Yeah I figured. So what's the problem then."
"He's being really mean to me lately... He's been ignoring me and ditching me for Jo a lot recently and I don't know why. Oh and congratulations you two,." James said smiling. Logan started blushing and then just turned his tomato red again. "How did you know?" I asked.
"Well for one you're neck is fucked up Carlos and Im pretty sure those weren't from being strangled. And I can see right through the scarf young man." James said turning to Logan. Logan smiled and unraveled his scarf, revealing his massacred neck.
"Wowwwww. You guys are viscous. You must be rabbits when you're alone eh?" he inquired.
"Yeah kinda." Logan said. I was totally surprised that he answered that. I thought he would have been to shy or embarrassed to say anything.
"Are you guys together together?" James asked. "What am I asking? Look at you two!" he laughed,
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well if I had a video camera I would show you. You should see the way you guys look at each other. You can tell you're in love,"
"REALLY?" shocked.
"OH YEAH" he laughed "It's sweet though, You got a good man, so treat him right ya hear?" he said to Logan. Logan smiled and just nodded back while putting his hand on mine. It felt good not having to hide it.
"So Kendall's been avoiding you?" Logan asked. Getting back to the topic.
"Yeah, well it's happening more frequently too. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong."
"Does he like... Accept what is happening between you guys?" Logan asked curious.
"Kinda. He shows me affection and junk, but he doesn't want anyone to know, he doesn't want it to get it out. I kinda felt really bad after that. I think he knows that he hurt me so he's trying to keep his distance. Maybe he's really straight and just going through a phase." James ended. A tear escaping his face.
"You know what I think?" Logan said. James just nodded and wiped the tear form his face.
"I think he feels just as strongly as you do James. He is just afraid of what other people will think. Are you afraid of telling everyone?" Logan was so cute! And so smart!
"NO! I would do anything for that kid... He just makes me so happy and he's the only one that is willing and knows how to put up with me. He just feels so right." James started crying and I got down and hugged him.
"It's alright dude" I said. "He'll come around. I know it."
"James, I think you need to tell him how you feel. And if he feels the same way, then he'll do anything for you too." Logan said. "I'd do anything for Carlos." he smiled. I couldn't help but blush and mouth the words I love you. He mouthed them back.
"You're right Logan. That's what I need to do... Thanks man... you're alright." James said getting up to give a bro hug to Logan...Thank god... we're like best friends already. This is working our perfectly.
"Should I call him to come over now?" he asked, unsure of what to do next.
"Yeah! The sooner the better." Logan said out loud. James laughed and said ok. He pulled out his phone and started calling Kendall. "Hey dude, you wanna come over? Carlos and Logan are already here...Yeah?... Alright cool." and with that James hung up the phone. And exhaled.. Now we wait...
"Okay what do I do when he comes?" James asked nervously.
"How long will it take for him to get here?" I asked.
"A few minutes. He lives right down the block." James said.
"I think we should have a little pow-wow in the living-room, intervention style and just let him know everything." Logan suggested. James started laughing.
"Dude, You are totally cool Logan. YOU!" James said pointing to me.
"ME?" I replied.
"You are lucky! Logan is one cool dude." James said sweetly.
"He's not lucky... I am..." Logan said quietly. James gave a big awe at what Logan said.
"No... It's not luck. It's fate..."i said smiling. And leaning in to kiss Logan. He kissed me back, but pulled back a little sooner than I hoped. I made a pouty face in protest. "Not in front of James!" he said smoothly.
"Don't worry about me you two!" James responded. Logan just patted my hand and turned to face James... "Okay so what are you gonna say?"
"I-Im not completely sure ye-" But he didn't have anymore time to think, because the doorbell rang...And as if we we were all connected to the same brain. We all looked at each other and thought in unison... Kendall...
