*Logan's POV*
They had said that they would let James go until the court date if we bailed him out. We had to wait for a while so they let us see James in a room one at a time. Cathy was first. After 5 minutes she ran out of the room crying. I knew it must have been bad because one of the guards was making his way over.
"I'm sorry but James isn't aloud anymore visitors. He is in a very violent place right now and considered dangerous. For everyone's safety, we have to keep him here until the court date. He just tried to strangle his own mom. I just...I hope you understand."
"Understand?! Understand this you ass hole! I flew here from New York to visit my step-son and get him out of jail. Now you're saying that I can't! You won't even tell me why he's here!"
"I'm sorry sir. We have strict policies to follow here. We can't release him if he's acting like this."
"Well when do they go to court?! And what the fuck did James do?! I NEED ANSWERS!"
"Sir, if you don't calm down, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"Fine..."
"Thank you. Now, James got upset with one of the airport security officers. He lost it and started to violently hit him. He also pulled out a knife and tried to stab him. When that failed he pulled out a gun and shot rapidly. The officer was pretty badly hurt. He has a slight concussion, several bruises, and is experiencing some memory loss. The hospital is keeping him for a few days. Once he's released the court can schedule a court date. I will probably be about another week or two."
"So I can't see him for two week!?"
"If you'd like, you can come back tomorrow and visit him but it will have to be supervised, of course."
"FINE! See you tomorrow!"
We all walked back to the car where Cathy was freaking out. My dad left and took her to a hotel. They decided to stay until James had to go to court. Carlos and I went home. We barely spoke on the way there. When we got inside, I ran up to my room, slammed the door, and broke down crying.
*Carlos's POV*
I stood outside of Logan's room. I could hear him crying. I softly knocked before entering. He was curled up on his bed.
"Leave me alone! I don't want you to see me cry!" I ignored him and laid down on the bed. I curled up and just held him. After about 30 minutes, we fell asleep.
*Three weeks later*
James was sent away. I'm not sure where but it's near Seattle. It's mainly to help him with his anger issues. Logan's almost back to normal. He was upset for most of the 2 weeks, just waiting for James to go to court. In an hour we have to go to dinner with his parents, since they leave tomorrow morning. I walked down into the kitchen and found Logan gulping down a bottle of sour apple vodka.
"Whoa. Drink anymore of that and I'll have to carry you to dinner...not that I'd mind." I gave him a seductive wink that caused him to turn red.
"Sorry. I'm just a little...stressed. I have to tell you something. I should have told you when I found out but...I just couldn't. Cathy wants me to move out. She thinks that me living here is what caused James to snap. My dad tried to reason with her but she won't let it go. She said that she won't come to dinner unless I move out. I just don't know what to do!"
"That's ridiculous! James has always had issues with his anger; he's just never hurt anyone before. She's being so unreasonable but I understand if you want to move out..."
"NO! I love it here and I love you...I mean...I love you for letting me stay. I'm not moving out. Unless you hate me for not telling you and you're gonna kick me out!"
"I'm not going to kick you out. Now come on, we have reservations in 45 and it will take at least a good 35 minutes to get to the restaurant." I took his hand and guided him to my car. We got there just in time. Logan's dad was sitting at a table in the back.
"Logan! I was getting worried that you guys wouldn't show up. I'm extremely sorry about Cathy."
"It's fine dad." We all sat down and the waiter came to get our orders. Through most of dinner we talked about James and the issue with Cathy. After we finished, Logan's dad insisted that we order dessert. Soon we were all eating some delicious chocolate cake.
"So Carlos, do I hear wedding bells in the future for you and my son?"
"DAD!"
"Oh hush Logan! Even a blind man could see that you two have something going on. I saw the towels in your room. I know you guys were doing something while we were away." Logan's face went bright red. We decided to change the subject and started talking about James again. We had just finished dessert when Cathy walked in. She came over and asked to speak with her husband alone. Logan and I excused ourselves and quickly went to the bathroom.
"Sorry guys, the toilets aren't working in the restroom. Only the sinks are. Use the other ones over there." The guy who had stopped us seemed extremely annoyed and pointed across the restaurant.
"Well...we just need to wash are hands so it's all good." We pushed passed him and into the empty bathroom. I watched as Logan stood in front of the mirror fixing his hair.
"Has anyone ever told you that you look sexy as hell in a suit?"
*Logan's POV*
Carlos's words caught me off guard. "Uh...um…no."
"Well you do." He walked over and put his arms around me.
"You look really sexy too..." My voice came out squeaky and I knew that he could tell I was nervous.
"Thanks." He turned me around and softly planted a kiss on my lips. Something inside of me was ignited. I felt that incredible feeling inside and began to gain some confidence. He pulled away from our kiss but I quickly pressed our lips together again. Before I even knew what was happening, he was putting things in front of the door. We continued kissing passionately. He removed my jacket and started to unbutton my shirt. He threw it off and then removed his own shirt. He began to undo my belt when we heard a banging noise at the door. In a panic we grabbed our clothes and hid inside of a storage closet. The manager and the guy we saw outside burst into the room. They never checked the closet so we were safe. We got dressed in the dark and had to climb out of a window to escape. I quickly called my dad and said that we were outside waiting. He paid the bill and came out to meet us. We said goodbye and he explained that Cathy is trying to understand everything but didn't want to see us. We left and went back to the house. I kept thinking about what Carlos and I had been doing and the fact that we were in a bathroom. Just as I stepped in the door I got a text.
So glad that you guys came. You and Carlos make a lovely couple. I know you're not dating but you should think about it. He would make a lovely husband.
p.s. I'm not sure what happened in that bathroom but you look nice in Carlos's shirt. :)
-Dad
