“Yeah, well I didn’t have much to say at half time, and the game would have been better if certain people kept their head on the game like I told them to.” he says with an edge to his voice. He just keeps staring at me, although now I’m closer, I’m not too sure it’s me he is looking at, it’s more Chris’s jacket. Was other people not meant to wear them or something? I don’t really know what else to say. He seems to not be in a very good mood.
“Logan, you didn’t need to wait for me out here silly” I hear Tara purr, as she walks up behind me straight to Logan and puts her hand on his arm and starts stroking it as if he were a pet. I really don’t like this girl. She looks at me then as if noticing me for the first time, even though I was here before she was.
“Can I help you? We’re late for a date.” She says with a smirk and I notice she tightens her hold on Logan’s arm. Logan’s jaw twitches like he’s about to say something but doesn’t.
A date ok, so that answers my earlier question of if they are dating.
When no body else says anything, Tara pulls on Logan’s arm in the direction of the pizza place and he follows her. I’m just standing there feeling like I’ve done something wrong, but can’t work out what. When I start to walk off toward Ambers car, as I can see the girls still haven’t gone in yet, Logan turns around to look at me one last time and frowns.
“Nice jacket.”
Nice jacket ? What the hell is that supposed to mean.
We all go into Joe’s and ask for a table big enough for us and the boys, when we are seated I can see that I have a direct line of sight to where Tara and Logan are sat. Great. There are other people at the table though, so maybe she was lying when she said it was a date. Or maybe not. He did kiss her. He doesn’t look very interested in what she’s saying however, and pretty much turns his back on her to talk to the guys on the other side of him. I’m not sure why but that makes me smirk a little and I get a little bubble of happiness inside.
“Hey, what so funny?” Chris whispers in my ear. I didn’t even realise they had come in. There’s an empty seat next to me so he sits there, with yet another smile on his face. Surely his jaw must ache from all that smiling.
“Oh nothing much, just thinking.” I reply trying to remind myself that I have to watch my friendly flirty side tonight with him.
“You ready to try the best pizza in the state? Wanna share?”
“Um... I think I’m gonna share with Amber. Thanks though.” Sharing food is definitely date like, so that’s a big no no.
We all just talk about random stuff while we eat and Jack tells us some stories. He is actually quite funny, I have to hold back tears at one point from laughing so hard. I keep noticing however that Logan is paying more attention to our table than he is his own and he seems to be looking right at me every few minutes. I can’t help but stare back though. It’s like our eyes are magnets and they just keep being drawn together.
Unfortunately I’m not the only one to notice. Tara does too and now has a sour scowl on her face, and its directed straight at me.
Chris offers me a lift home as we are walking to the cars afterwards and after a couple of times of me saying no because Amber was taking me, he finally gives in. I hand him back his jacket, but as he goes to take it from me he pulls my arm instead so my body comes up flush with him. He just looks down at me, wraps his arms around me and plants a small kiss on my cheek. Before I have time to react though I hear a dog growling that distracts me and makes me pull quickly away. Are there wild dogs here? I’m gonna have to ask Aunt Sara. Can’t be too careful.
I politely and gently push out of his hold and he lets me go easily with a wink.
“Goodnight beautiful” I smile back him, it’s hard not too.
“Good night Chris. Thanks for the jacket.”
“Any time.”
I turn around to go get in Ambers car and my eyes lock again with Logan’s. He is stood alone by his truck and he looks furious. I give him a nod of my head and a small wave to say goodnight, but he just gets in his truck slams the door and speeds off.
Guess his date didn’t go to well.
Chapter four
Analysing
I do miss my old house and my old room, but I can’t really complain about my new one. Aunt Sara really has a beautiful home and I am settling in well. I still have things to unpack to make my room my own; all I really unpacked when I got here was clothes and toiletries. Just the things I needed.
I have a large room with a large double bed. The walls are just painted cream for now, but I like it. It makes it look bright. I have a small walk in wardrobe. Which is fine with me as I don’t have that many clothes. I get my own bathroom with a bath and a shower
