Chapter Forty Five - "I Don't Know Whether To Scream Or To Vomit..."
_____

Avery's P.O.V

"Dinner? How is dinner better than sex?" I ask Logan as his hand finds mine. Logan looks down at me and grins.

"Just shut up and trust me." Logan says before walking into the restaurant, guiding me with his hand. The lady who is standing at the door immediately notices us and grins, walking up to us.

"Logan and Avery. Let me guide you to your table."

As we begin walking, I look at Logan. "She seemed to be real happy seeing you here. Do you know her?" I ask with a smirk, pushing at his buttons. Logan pushes it away with a smirk.

"Not every girl would be able to resist me, babe. But all the guys here are clearly holding back at ripping that dress off of you." Logan whispers in my ear, his hand leaving mine and holding my waist.

I look around, noticing that all the men here are at least forty or something. Their eyes trail my legs and hold their gaze as the bottom of my dress, which is just a little above mid-thigh.

"Jealous?" I grin and Logan shakes his head.

"Not one bit. Our bond is too strong now." Logan says with a grin and I nod, realising that after everything that has happened throughout the years, we have always found each other again. After every single fight, we always returned back to each other. And my love for him has grown so much because of that.

The lady in front of us finally stops in front of a flight of stairs. "Just through the door." She says before leaving so quick that if you blinked you wouldn't of seen her leave. Logan looks down at me with a smirk.

"Ladies first."

I find myself puzzled. Shouldn't we be sitting with everyone else back there? Where does the door lead out to?

I don't say a word. I walk up the stairs with anticipation flooding my body that I almost want to run up the stairs. I push the door open after grabbing the handle and I nearly choke on the air that attacks me when I open the door.

"Logan..." I gasp, looking at the tables that cover the floor of the roof, couples and families sitting at the tables with smiles on their faces as they eat the food on the plates.

"Do you like it?" Logan asks and I look up at the sky, the stars making my eyes shine in happiness. I grab Logan's hand and pull at it, wanting him to show me the table that we will be sitting at.

"I don't know whether to scream or to vomit... this is amazing." I say and Logan smiles back at me.

"I'm glad you like it." Logan says before pulling out the chair for me to sit. I take a sit and watch as Logan sits on the chair across from me.

"Now, what do you want to eat?"

"

This is so beautiful." I say again for the hundredth time tonight. Logan just smiles and I can't help but take out my phone, wanting to capture the moment.

I take a photo of Logan smiling so quick that he doesn't hide away, seeing as I know he hates photos. "Hey!" Logan says and I roll my eyes.

"You can't hate me for loving your smile." I say, with a laugh and Logan suddenly pulls out his phone while I'm laughing and takes a photo. My face falls serious, knowing what he is about to do.

"Logan... show me the photo."

"Too late." He says and I feel my phone vibrate on my thighs. I grab my phone and realise that Logan has posted it on Instagram. I click on the notification and immediately smile at the caption.

"nothing sounds better than my fiancé's laugh <3"

"Logan--"

As soon as I look up at Logan, I find him out of his chair and on one knee in front of me, making my heart race. I notice the people around us begin to watch in excitement.

"After everything that we have been through, after all the bad decisions we have both made, after the fights, arguments and make out sessions, I feel like we are finally walking on the right path. And even though I regret the first day that you tripped me over, I don't regret getting to know you. And because of that, we have went on the most intense, crazy roller coaster through every obstacle that came our way."

Yep, I'm officially crying. I'm glad I didn't put too much makeup on.

"Now, I have realised that I just have to take a risk and go with it because I never know what can happen next. I mean, you were lucky I didn't attack you right then and there in that hallway when I fell." Logan says with a chuckle and I laugh, remembering the day crystal clear.

"Show time." Claire says and I look ahead to see that the stairs were coming up. I hold my breath for a few seconds before releasing the oxygen from my mouth. I look down at Logan's feet and watch until I know when the time is right. I feel my heart starting to race and my hands starting to shake.

I take a deep breath before placing my foot in front of Logan's right foot and waited for him to take the next step. I bite my lip and watch as it all went in slow motion.

Claire beside me had her jaw touching the ground and Logan slowly fell towards the ground. I watch as his body hits the ground and a groan escaps his mouth. People around him saw that he fell, well, I tripped him but anyway, and they start to run towards him in shock. The girls were offering to help him up but he obviously said no and stood up himself. His brown eyes look around in anger and I knew that I was officially dead.

Claire grabs my hand and tries to pull me away from the situation but my feet were stuck until Logan's eyes meet min and I try to run but I couldn't move.

Oh fuck.

"And I guess the 'bad boy' does have a heart after all." Logan says with a small smile before opening the small box and revealing the beautiful ring that didn't look too expensive but didn't look too cheap either. It just looked beautiful.

"So... Avery Grace Leighton, the mother of our beautiful daughter and my girlfriend..."

Hold up...

Why do I feel like I'm going to faint?

Oh no, please don't faint.

"Will you marry me?"

Everyone around us stares at me, waiting for me to answer. I look around, most of them nodding for me to answer Logan. Then, I look back at Logan and his smile sort of tilts, and I know that he wants the answer now. It's killing him.

"What do you say, sunshine?"

I look at my shaky hands and look at Logan, my heart racing and breathing becoming ragged. He places the box on the table and looks at me, grabbing my hands. "Avery, are you okay?"

I nod, tears falling from my eyes. "I'm perfect. You are perfect." I say, trying to not focus on how dizzy I'm feeling. "Yes. My answer is yes, Logan." I saw quickly and Logan's eyes go wide as he lifts me off of the chair, swinging me around.

"She said yes! Oh, thank you, Lord!" Logan nearly screams and I smile at him when he stops spinning. Everyone around us claps in joy, even a few people whistle.

Logan kisses my lips gently and I kiss him back, not wanting the moment to end. Logan pulls away and grabs the box from the table, holding the ring out for my finger. I watch as he slide it on and my heart continues to race.

"I love you, Avery." Logan kisses me before pulling away again. "So fucking much."

And all I can do is smile.

I'm engaged... and I'm so happy it's with him.

Logan unlocks the door before returning to kiss me. He closes the door with my back, making me lean against the front door as his hands roam the back of my dress, trying to unzip it. I pull away from him and stop him.

"Wait, my parents and--"

"They won't be back till tomorrow." Logan says before unzipping the dress and making it fall from my body. Logan picks me up and I wrap my arms around his neck, feeling his bulge in his pants poke me.

We walk over to the lounge and he drops me there, taking off his clothes and leaving him in his boxers so quick that I thought he was the flash or something. I quickly take off my bra and leave myself in my underwear, watching as Logan straddles me, his lips traveling down my stomach and towards my underwear.

I feel myself shut off from the world, not a care or worry at all as Logan distracts me from everything that is going to happen with Katie. I let myself be free tonight as tonight is ours.

And not even Aunty Heather is going to stop us.
