=========================

Logan made it back home to his apartment in Orlando, he doesn't need a big house like the others might live in, Nichole lives in a house, a nice house but Logan didn't want that right now, he doesn't want what Nikki wanted, she wanted marriage and Logan just wanted a fuck buddie, turns out neither were on the same page.

Once Logan got in and shut the door, he dropped his bag and looked around, he's not expecting anything to be out of place but he is expecting someone to come and great him, Logan got a dog when he got called up to the Main Roster, it was a pat on the back for himself, that was 4 years ago now, normally he's here at the door when he walks in but he's not here now.

Logan: Hey, where you at?

Logan asked with a whistle before walking a little bit further into his apartment, it's not much but it allows pets, it's got enough room for a bed and a Tv, the kitchen is a bonus and the shower is delightful, it's perfect for him, sure it's better then most apartments in the world but Logan's lived here pretty much since he moved out here, Logan spent every last penny he had to get here, leaving a sure thing career behind to take the risk and live out his dreams of being a WWE Champion, now he is with the Universal title and MITB briefcase sitting by the door with his bag.

Logan: Zeus!

Logan called again this time standing in the middle of the flat and looking around, he whistled again, this time much louder but he still didn't hear dogs paws coming towards him, he did however hear the door unlock and look over to see Ruth Bennett, she lives a couple of doors down with her married mother and father, she loves dogs, so Logan's paying her to keep Zeus company when he's away.

Ruth saw Logan first because of the counter in the way but when Zeus saw the bags and recognised the scent, he started to jump around, hopping in excitement that his father's finally back and home, Logan just clapped and Ruth dropped the leash letting the dog ran at him...

... Zeus is a big dog for his age but that's just because he's well taken care of, Ruth smiled over to them as Logan knelt down to Zeus, he's not supposed to jump up at people but when he's been away he let's it slide.

Ruth: We watched you this weekend. Congrats.

Logan smiled up to her as he kept on fussing Zeus, people are really intimidated by Rottweilers but Zeus wouldn't hurt a fly, it's not the dog that's bad it's the way their raised, dogs are like babies, they learn as they grow, they see you being an asshole and their going to be an asshole as well, Ruth isn't an asshole which is why Logan trusted her with a key to the apartment as well as looking after Zeus when he's gone.

Logan: Thanks, how's school?

Ruth's 17 and not far away from starting college, Logan's happy to pay her to look after Zeus, in return she get's a college education, Logan know's it's important because he spent three years in college before upping and coming to America, well, it was like 2 years and 8 months but still, nearly three years.

Ruth: It's fine.

She sighed as Logan looked up to her and left Zeus alone for a second, she's not so much bullied but she hasn't got any friends and she thinks that's a bad thing, Logan didn't have any friends in school neither, he didn't need or want them though, he's always been more focused on work, which might be why he's not interested in getting married right now.

Logan: Chin up. Things do get easier, besides, I didn't have friends in school. Now, I have a family.

Ruth smiled to him as he payed her $200, he's a good employer, she only needs to make sure he's got food and water though, she goes out of her way to walk him, so Logan pays her a little more for going that extra mile, Ruth thanked him then put Zeus' leash back where it belongs then went to leave the flat but needed to give him a message before she left.

Ruth: Oh, my mom said hi.

Logan chuckled as she disappeared again, her mom has been flirting with Logan since they moved into the apartment a couple of doors down, Logan's been here longer then the Bennett family and since he offered to help them move boxes on their moving day, he can't seem to get Mrs. Bennet to stop looking at him like eye candy, although she'll probably change her mind when Logan pretends to be all for it as well, it's hopefully all just playful fun because Logan's not going to help her destroy her family, he's not a homewrecker.

Logan: Come on, let's watch Smackdown.

Logan grabbed the remote and turned the Tv while falling to the couch, Zeus was quick to follow him getting comfy beside him as Logan put his feet up, Zeus squeezed himself between Logan and the sofa then rested his chin on Logan's thigh, letting him pet the dogs head, Logan was happy to do it till he flicked over to the station where Smackdown is being aired...

... Logan just got the start of the show, this is the first match-up a good friend against Alexis, another good friend, this was Logan's chance to actually get to watch Alexa Bliss in the ring though, sure he watched her at SummerSlam but that was only a snippet, this is a 1v1, watching her have a tantrum as well was pretty adorable.

Logan: Little firecracker huh?

Logan asked Zeus who was now laying next to him because Logan sat up right to watch the performance, it sucked Alexis didn't get the win but Becky's on fire lately, he's not going to pretend what's going on story wise with them though because he's not a Smackdown Superstar, though he did make sure to send a "👏" to both girls before calling it a night...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today's that day, date with Leah, although Logan's excited he can't help but feel a little nervous, not for what you think but because it's been a while since he's dated someone new, the last girl he dated was Nikki and he ended up with a baby, one that he loves dearly but one that he didn't want, Logan will be very honest with people, he has no desire to get married or be a father, that was until Matteo was born then he needed to own up to his responsibilities.

Logan: Stay in here tonight. I don't know if she likes dogs or not.

Logan has set up the second bedroom for Zeus to chill in while Leah's here, he's not sure how long she'll be here whether they'll just have dinner, talk and then she's off or she stays till morning, he doesn't know, all he did know is she's coming around his apartment because he said he'd cook her dinner, so that's what he's doing.

Logan: What do you wanna watch? There you go, Playboy channel. See some boobs.

Zeus didn't seem to mind that and actually looked to the Tv while Logan went to the door ready to shut him in, Logan hated doing it but he honestly has no idea if Leah is allergic to dogs or not, probably something he should have asked her but he forgot to which means Zeus has everything he needs in the second bedroom till Leah decides it's time to go home.

Logan: She's here. Behave.

Zeus whined to him then went back to watching the TV, Logan was worried for a second what he's turned his dog into but waved it off, he'll be fine, Logan made sure the food was doing well then went over to the door, pressing the button to let her into the building, he's not cooking much, just Chicken Kiev's with potatoes and tomatoes, sounds more complicated then it actually is though.

Leah: Hey, I think I'm early.

Logan heard the knock at the door and answered with a smile, he might be a little nervous but he's got this in the bag, it's not the first time he's cooked dinner for a date, hell, it might actually be a hobby of his now he's done it so much, not always fora  date but Logan enjoy's cooking, it's pretty easy when you know what your doing.

Logan: No problem. Come on in.

Leah smiled to him as he stepped out the way and let her into the apartment, she did make a quick joke about him still living in an apartment building but it was just that, a joke and Logan took it as that, however, stepping foot into the place she can see why he doesn't want to move out yet.

Leah: Nice place. Suits you.

Logan smiled to her after she turned to him and looked him up and down with that look in her eye, he's not dense and knew she called him good looking, Logan did try to dress nicely for tonight, nothing too over board but a nice shirt and jeans was enough, Leah's actually wearing a really nice dress that showed her chest off nicely and covered her rare perfectly, it's like she wanted him to see.

Logan: Don't look too bad yourself...

Leah looked around but slowly turned to him when she heard him walking towards her, eventually she was looking up at him, still with a small grin on her face while nibbling her bottom lip a little.

Logan: ... But I can't help but feel that dress would look much better on my bedroom floor.

Leah chuckled to him as she looked down to their feet, practically over each other, Logan was good and invading your personal space making moments like these even more fun, Leah also liked the flirting, she thought it was hot, Logan could already tell that since she started it the other day.

Leah: You cook me a great meal and I might give you desert.

Logan might have bragged about being a good cook to her when she questioned him about it when he said he'd make her dinner, Logan should be good at it anyway, people say it enough and he spent enough time learning it at school but his mind's not on food right now.

Logan: Hey, I'm not against having desert before dinner.

Logan smiled to her laugh as she grabbed the top of his shirt and pulled him down to her, pressing their lips together, they've got a little tension between them, sure they've only known each other for a couple of weeks but sometimes you just gotta get it out of you when you got to, Leah broke the kiss though pretty pleased with what she did.

Leah: That was just a taste. This food better be great.

Logan took a deep breath as Leah turned around and walked away, Logan saw her wipe her finger at the corner of her mouth though making things a little more hotter, he's got her drawling for more, of course what he didn't know is even if the food sucked she was going to thank him for it, how good it was though would determine the level of how she thanked him, Nikki's bragged about Logan before, rumours have gone around the girls in the locker room and she needs to know if their true or not, the way Leah see's it is Nicole is only really into big guys, John was 6'2, her new play thing Duncan is pushing just over 6'5, so what was that big on Logan that attracted her.

Logan: Ah, screw it.

Leah looked at him as he walked towards her, taking her hand in his and heading towards his room, Leah didn't fight him and actually pushed him through the slightly open door, both of them forgot about the food that night, that was until it was too late anyway and there was no saving it, neither of them cared though, they ate that night alright and it was the best they've eaten in a while...
