Chapter Twenty Nine - "Stay Here With Me."
___

Avery's P.O.V

"Don't leave me." I groan as I grab Logan's shirt, trying to drag him back into the bed. Logan laughs and shakes his head, his face turning serious after a few seconds of laughing.

"Sunshine, we have school to return to." Logan says, lookinh down at my hand which loses grip and I frown at him, letting go of his shirt. I bring the sheets up to my shoulders and face my back to him, letting out a small groan.

Bitch.

"You can go back to school. I'm staying here." I mumble and I feel the bed dip which is probably caused by Logan. He appears beside me and he uses his elbow to hold him up as he looks at me with a small grin on his face.

"You know you can't stay here by yourself." Logan says in his tired voice - which is incredibly hot by the way - and I roll my eyes.

"Then stay with me." I mumble, pouting slightly and Logan looks at me for a few seconds before kissing my lips for a short second before laying down on the bed, his arms behind his head as he looks at me with that grin still on his face.

"You want to know something, sunshine?" Logan asks and I nod, my curiosity gtting the better of me. "I actually really like you, Avery." Logan says, his grin turning into a smile. I slowly nod, trying to register the words that just came out of his mouth.

"I actually really like you, Avery."

He means as friends, right? Or does he mean more than friends? I'm so confused but this little glimmer of hope shines in my heart and mind, hoping that he actually likes me.

"Same." I say, not really knowing how to reply to that. Logan laughs and quickly taps my nose even though he knows not to since it annoys me so much.

"These feelings I have for you are unexplainable." Logan says, still looking at me. I feel my heart rate pick up.

He likes me?

Obviously, you dumb shit, my brain scolds me and I push away the thought, looking at Logan with a small smile.

"I feel the same way." I say and Logan cups my cheek, still smiling at me. God, his smile is definitely something that purposely tries to make girls faint, I swear.

"I know. I have known for quite some time now." Logan says, a smirk appearing on his lips. I gasp and he just chuckles.

"How?"

"I know how girls work, sunshine. I have two sisters and a mom who has mood swings like no other person on the face of this Earth. What do you expect?" Logan says and I nod in agreement.

"True." I say and Logan immediately grabs my hips, taking me by suprise and drags me towards him, picking me up and placing me on his legs.

"Be my girlfriend, Avery." Logan blurts out and my eyes widen in shock. I remember when he says my name, he is being serious which means he isn't joking.

Did I just hear what I just heard?

"W-What?" I ask and Logan runs his hands up and down my thighs, making my body scream in joy, pleasure and delight.

"I want you to be my girlfriend." Logan says and I frown at him, trying to ignore his hands that were inching closer to my area with every touch.

"You've never been in a relationship before though..." I mumble and Logan shrugs.

"So what? You can be my first... and hopefully my last. Everyone else wasn't girlfriend material. They are all hoes and I don't want to just be known as that player that dates girls for a week and then breaks their hearts. Remember what I said at the pond?" Logan asks and I nod.

"You're different." I say, remembering his words and Logan nods, a smile starting to appear on his lips.

"Exactly." Logan says and I look at him, allowing the many thoughts to run into my head.

I love Logan. I  have proved that already. He has admitted that he likes me which means I have produced the feelings that he has for me in some way which means I have some effect of him. After everything though, I don't see why I should say no to his question because I love him for fuck sake.

What about the stuff with Jade though? I don't even know why she would try to make me jealous of her and Logan because I don't think I have done anything to hurt her or go against her. I still don't know why she wanted revenge?

What about Chance's promise?

"I promise you, I will have you again but this time, no faking it."

Chance always kept his promises. He always stuck by it. So why the hell am I going to do about him?

Logan is going to help you, my brain says and I mentally nod in agreement.

What about Claire? Since I have to tell her about the stuff soon about Patrick and that, she is going to be heart broken and I don't want her getting upset over Logan and I because we would be around each other quite a lot. I don't want to make Claire feel left out either-

"You're zoning out." Logan says and I frown at him, shaking my head.

"I'm thinking." I correct him and he rolls his eyes, holding my hips as he watches me look around in thought.

Should I say yes? Am I ready for everything that is going to come with this? Can I deal with the drama and negativity? Will Jade get jealous? How will Claire react? What about my parents and Joshua? How will Logan's family take it?

What happens next?

"Logan?"

"Yes, sunshine?"

"I'll be your girlfriend on one condition." I say, a grin on my lips and Logan nods.

"Bring it at me." Logan says and I lean down and run my finger along Logan's lips.

"Stay here with me." I say, kissing him softly. Logan kisses me back and sits up, wrapping his arms around my waist as he moves backwards against the headboard. I wrap my arms around his neck and I roll my hips forward, just to tease him a little.

"Okay, okay." Logan says against my lips and I smile in victory as I kiss my boyfriend with as much passion I have in me.

Short chapter. I hope you like it though. What do you think of Logan and Avery now in a relationship? I feel like it was the right thing to do at this point.

I just want to explain this though. Not all books have to have some romantic gesture to ask someone to be their girlfriend/boyfriend. Sure, maybe you have experienced something cheesy and romantic but come on, we all don't experience that and thats the point I am trying to prove here. Logan didn't need to write a letter explaining how he feels about Avery and then let Avery find it and bla bla bla. Yeah, it might sound better though but not every relationship starts off with something as cheesy and romantic as that so anyone who comments saying that I should've made Logan do something more unique... well, no. I didn't have to because like I said, not every book has to be cheesy and romantic. I'm trying to make this as realistic as possible.

I hope you all get the point.

Please vote, comment and share to your friends. I would love to boost up the reads, votes and comments on this book :)

^^ I recommend you all to listen to this song as I am completely in love with it! Since most of you probably won't know it yet since it's new, I'll just say what it is called. It is I Would Like by Zara Larsson. Please listen to it.
