What If
8. Confidence
There was a knock at the door. I was quick to open it, hoping against hope that Logan was waiting for me on the other side. After he stormed off, I didn't feel much like staying at the party anymore. Instead, I went back to my apartment and waited for Logan to come to me when he was ready. That was really my only option. I had no idea where he was. I wasn't even sure he wanted to be found. He wasn't answering any of my calls or texts.
I opened the front door, and there he was. "May I come in?" he asked.
"Yeah, of course," I answered.
The two of us walked in the living room and sat on the couch. I was surprised when he sat next to me. I was even more surprised when he took both of my hands in his. I was waiting with bated breath, unsure how this would play out.
"I'm so sorry, Jo. I overreacted. It's just when I saw you and Kendall together…I'm not even the jealous type! I…I guess I'm just waiting for you to break up with me and move on to someone better. I'm expecting you to realize that I'm all wrong for you. I know nothing happened between you and Kendall, but even if it had, I wouldn't blame you. I mean I'm no catch. I'm boring, painfully shy, and socially awkward. I don't have Kendall's confidence, James' looks, Carlos' fearlessness. I…I don't even know what I have, if anything," Logan rambled.
I leaned over and captured Logan's lips in my own. Afterwards, his cheeks flushed, and he averted his gaze. It was so cute how embarrassed he got.
"You have me. I hate when you beat yourself up like that, Logan. You may not believe it, but you are a catch. You're sweet, smart, funny, and loyal. James may be a ladies' man, but you're easy on the eyes yourself. Seeing how you reacted earlier was awful, but I don't really blame you. In fact, I'd be more worried if you didn't react like that. I promise you though that I don't like Kendall like that," I responded.
"I know. After talking to Kendall a little bit ago, and you now, I know. I trust Kendall. I trust you too, so if the two of you say there's nothing going on between you, I believe you," Logan said.
I was shocked by Logan's complete faith in me, but I wasn't really surprised. I just prayed that I would never do anything that would destroy his trust in me. I heard the front door open and then close.
"Jo, I'm home!" my dad called out.
My breath hitched in my throat, and every fiber of my being was filled with dread. My ex-marine, CIA father often scared away any potential boyfriends of mine. I knew that Logan was easily frightened, and so I had every reason to be worried.
To Be Continued…
A/N: Uh-oh. Meeting Jo's dad. That's a huge step. Is Logan ready? What will Mr. Taylor do or say to intimidate Logan? Because you know he will…
