I woke up exhausted. I had completely forgotten about Charlie. He somehow managed to get on the bed and woke me up by licking me on my nose. His sandpaper-like tongue made me giggle.
I grabbed him and cradled him against me while laying on my side. "Morning Charlie! You're such a cute baby."
The door to the bathroom opened, Logan was coming out with nothing but a towel wrapped low around his waist. The sight of him looking so sexy still makes me blush. I smiled and covered myself with the blanket up to my nose to hide my complexion.
He chuckled and leaned over to kiss me. "Morning beautiful."
"Good morning. Why are you up so early?" I sat up and leaned against the headboard, taking Charlie in my arms.
Logan narrowed his eyebrows in disbelief taking Charlie in his right arm."The fuck Charles! I told you, get your own woman, boy." He places Charlie down. I couldn't help but laugh, he was so cute. It amused me how he wa

LoganWe made our way through the hallway. I held Charlie with my right hand and Sophie's hand with my left. She was too busy scrolling through her phone, checking her emails when we got to the steps.I decided to take her phone away, turning it off and placing it in my back pocket. She pouted and gave me her puppy eyes, making me laugh, "You'll eat first. Then you can have your phone back. You need food in you if you're taking off for your spa day, ok?" She sighed, pursing her lips."Ok. Fine." She looked down like a five-year-old who'd just gotten in trouble. I smiled, pulling her to my chest and kissing her forehead. "Come on. Let's see what's for breakfast." I took her hand, kissed her knuckles, and began to walk downstairs.I was feeling jittery at the thought of her reaction once she glanced towards the kitchen. My heart beating rapidly in my chest, my hands felt clammy and I couldn't help the big smile on my face.I couldn't wait to see her
Loathing Logan You Still Look Beautiful
RileyI was so nervous. My heart bumped in my chest so hard, I thought it would burst out of my chest.It wasn't easy for me to be here, in front of the Mitchell's family farm. I haven't been to their farm in so long. Lorraine still had this place looking so beautiful. It almost seemed as if time had stood still in this place. The same beautiful flowers and roses in her garden. The raised beds with her mint, bay leaves, and all kinds of herbs. She had her sunflowers growing and tomatoes looked so delicious.I had always been envious of her green thumb. Everything she touched grew beautifully. Her granddaughter Emily had the same gift. They were both amazing gardeners.I sat in my car, doubting if I should go through this. Saturday afternoon, I should be preparing my house for my husband to come home. Instead, he's in bed with another woman. I tried calling hi
Loathing Logan This Is Heaven
SophieWe drove down to the spa Logan had booked for us. It was a beautiful place. I had always wanted to come here, but it's just far too expensive for me. I get an allowance from my parents and extra money by helping out at their vineyard now and then, but most of my money is being saved for college.Or more like, I'm saving it for my expenses when I'm out there. My parents are already doing enough by paying for tuition and classes. It will be up to me to pay for all my expenses, though they refused the idea at first, they had no option but to agree.Plus, the spa was way out of town, and since I had no car yet, I never thought it would happen.We walked in and were greeted with a smile by some of the girls there."Hi, welcome. Do you have reservations?" One of the girls asked in a cheerful tone."Umm, hi. My boyfriend gave m
Loathing Logan Party Night and Bright Lights
SophieI had gone up to rest for a while. I was completely drained of my energy after all that shopping. I wasn't sure how long I had fallen asleep.I felt a small shaking that made me awake from my slumber. "Babe. Babe, wake up." Logan's voice slowly brought me out of dreamland.I yawned slowly, stretching my arms out. A small chuckle released from Logan making me smile. "Hi," I said, cupping his face with my hand and kissing his lips."Hey, there sleeping beauty. Come on, we gotta get ready." He said as he helped me to my feet.I was a bit confused by his words. I wasn't expecting to go anywhere tonight. Hell, we didn't even get to go to the cabin like we do most of the weekends. "Wait, where are we going?" I asked him, my mind still cloudy from just waking up. He chuckled kissing the top of my head and pushing me towards the bathroom."Logan, where are we going?" I whined as
Loathing Logan My Birthday Girl
LoganMonday Morning. Sophie's birthday.I woke up super early today and text everyone that was going to help me surprise Sophie today. I wanted her day to be special.I was also nervous because we also had to turn in our assignment today with Mrs. McGee. I was dreading that part. But, I think overall, we did just great on that assignment. We for sure have a set grade on that assignment.Sophie had gone home to sleep, it was a bit weird to not have her in my arms when I woke up. Seems crazy how you become accustomed to having someone you truly love wake up next to you every morning that when they're suddenly not here it feels alienated. It just feels like something important is missing in your life. I love my girl, I can't explain how special she is to me. She's everything. My world.There were a lot of guys I had asked to help me with this task. They all agreed, and I was especially thankful f
Loathing Logan Not So Happily After All
LoganThe next day, 8 a.m.I had finally come back home. Sophie had a blast for her birthday yesterday. We didn't throw a big birthday party like I would have liked to. She wasn't the big party type. She had already asked me not to throw her a party.Though I was tempted to, Troy and Lexie asked me to not do so. Sophie is not the social type. Though she tried her hardest when she threw my birthday party, I knew she was still a bit uncomfortable.So, even if I itched to throw her a birthday party, I decided not to do so. I kept a close eye on her when we went to the concert. I wanted to make sure she wasn't uncomfortable. She eased off after a while and had a great time, which was ultimately my goal- for her to have a great time on both, weekend and her birthday.I closed the door to my house, resting on the door with my head tilted back. I couldn't help but smile. I sighed and went towards the stairs, just as I was making my way towards the l

Tired, uncertainty and grievance were felt through the thick icy weather.After they each gathered their luggage, they decided on grabbing something to eat before heading towards their destination.Ashley was especially feeling anxious. She itched with the need to run into her daddy's arms. She could almost picture his face full of surprise and excitement when he sees them. She knows he's not expecting this surprise. She looks forward to their reunion, longing for each second to pass by quicker until the time comes for them to meet with him.Derreck sat next to Logan. He sat calmly, eating his food and making small conversation to keep Logan's mind at ease. He knew Logan was in no mood, his demeanor said it all. Dark aura and a stiff complexion that fought against self-control.How could he keep calm? His gut told him things were edgy from
Loathing Logan Chicago
AshleyWe boarded the elevator in silence. I clung to mom's waist, unwilling to part away from her. I wanted to stay strong, but the strain in my throat was far too much for me to bear. I cried like a five-year-old through our ride down that elevator.No one said anything. They simply allowed me to cry my eyes out until I could no more. Logan held his head up towards the heavens with his eyes closed and hands behind him, holding on to the rail.Derreck, though he didn't say much, was giving us a look that let us know things would be ok. I wanted to believe that way too, but I was very uncertain at this point.Derreck sighed and ruffled my hair, "Hey Ash?" I turned my head up to see him, I sniffled and cleaned my years with the back of my hand.He reached in the inside pocket of his jacket, retrieving a handkerchief. He ducts down a little, cleaning my face softly."No more crying, ok? Look, our flight isn't until tomorrow morning, what do yo

Besides, Lexie is already a bridesmaid or groom maid. . . whatever you want to call it. Please, Sophie!" I grunted and closed my eyes in surrender over the phone. "Oh, you are such a drama queen. Fine, I will be your maid of honor." He screamed with joy over the phone, deafening my ear.
Loathing Logan Change Can Be Good, But Painful
SophieIt's been almost seven years since I left Lakeview. I never thought I'd go back. But terrible news pulled me back to that old town.A few months after Logan had found me in Los Angeles, four years ago, I received a phone call from dad. Mom had gotten sick again. But this time, they didn't catch it in time. She hid it from everyone, including dad. No one, not even I was ready for what was to come.Mom died just a year after I went to see her. She was so happy to finally spend more than a few days' worth of time with Nathan. All we did was talk about him when we are on the phone. She simply adores him. But it was so hard to see her in pain. Cancer had come back to her bones that time, I could still hear her crying from the pain, saying her body felt as if it was on fire. I don't understand how life could be so cruel.She was my best friend, my biggest support, and my shoulder to cry on. She finally passed away a few days before mother's d
Loathing Logan Unexpected Visit
Three Years Later:SophieI walked towards the cafe I work for a few hours after class. I was too tired to work today. It's getting harder every day to even get out of bed.I have no energy. My days are crazy. I can't sleep at night, yet I want nothing to do but sleep during the day. My budget scares me. I don't even know how I am doing this? Dad keeps sending me money, though I refuse to touch it unless I have no other option.I dropped most of my classes for now. I can't focus- it's as if my mind gets clouded. I feel like a damn airhead. I had to go see a doctor, and she gave me so many vitamins because she says I am underweight and need to nourish my body. The vitamins taste so gross. I especially hate the iron pills.But if I don't take them, I will never get rid of my anemia. It will be bad for me if that happens."Hey, darling. You look so gorgeous today. Look at you glowing like the diva you are!" Mrs. Cl

Sophie"I can't believe we are finally graduating tomorrow. This seems so surreal." Lexie whispered to my left as we sat in the auditorium while listening to instruction for tomorrow's ceremony. Logan sat to my right, holding my hand with our fingers interlaced. I could tell he was nervous. Our valedictorians this year are Russell Knight and Emily Mitchell. They tied perfectly for the grand title.Graduation came by too fast if you ask me. Before we knew it, we were hit with finals and SAT's, final projects, and more.We ran around getting caps, gowns, graduation outfits. Logan and the rest of the gang, as well as me, volunteered for the prom decoration group, it turned out beautifully. I won't go insomuch detail, just know Logan was amazing. We had matching colors on my dress and his tie. After, we went to the cabin and spent all weekend there. He wanted us to go to the house he's building by the lake, but there were major setbacks, and we didn't want to be in
Loathing Logan We'll Always Be Together
SophieI woke up hopeful today. I knew Logan would be off to be with his mom at the courthouse. This is the time when I woke up begging God for a miracle. I wanted things to work out for them. I miss Ashley so much, and I know she must be missing her mom and Logan. They deserve to be together. I just hope that Mr. Spencer can see that in time.He picked me up from home and gave me a ride to school before leaving. I gave him a quick kiss and got off the car. I waved at him as he sped off to Mr. Mitchell's office. He had called him this morning to tell him he had big news for him. I hoped it was good news, Logan could really use a turn to all of the bad things that have been happening lately.I decided to send him a quick message before entering my second class and told him that everything was going to be ok.Sophie- Hi Baby. Good morning. I just wanted you to know I love you. Things are going to be ok, you'll see. I'll see you after school, ok?

Logan "I know mom, I was going to go back to school. That was my plan. But, then uncle Danny stopped me at the lobby. He told me to wait for him so I could take Ashley with me to get some ice cream. Which is why she is now covered in chocolate. You know she can't eat chocolate ice cream without getting it all over herself!" Ashley socked me on my arm as I made fun of her. She had a huge chocolate ice cream stain on the top of her dress. I tried to avoid the menacing look on mom's face as she stood before me with her arms crossed next to uncle Danny and Derreck. Ashley and I were in the middle of our second scoop when mom walked in looking for us. She looks over towards uncle Danny, I don't her arms, and places one hand over her hip. "Uh, in my defense, it was better for Logan to keep her company than for her to be out in the lobby all alone. Wouldn't you agree?... Derreck?" He looks at mom first and then towards Derreck for reinforce

Riley"Da- Daniel, what are you doing here? I thought you and Layla were in Mexico doing business." I asked him making him turn with a smile towards me.His hand softly grasping mine with a gentle squeeze."We were, but Ruth told me you were having a little issue with Charley-boy, so Layla and I came by to see what was going on. Luckily, I reached out and did my research on what's going on." He responded turning with a mischievous smile towards Charles whose face was red as a tomato."Daniel, no offense but your presence is unnecessary to this hearing. This is a matter between Riley and me.""Oh, on the contrary." He cut Charles off, opened his suitcase, and brought out a stack of papers, and slammed them in front of Charles."You forget about this Charley-boy? Ashley, baby, Logan is waiting outside. Why don't go out and get some ice cream with him, ok honey?" He says pulling out his wallet and giving Ashley a hundred-dollar bill
Loathing Logan Battle For Custody
RileyI stood outside of the courtroom with my hands shaking, tapping my phone over the other hand.I was a nervous wreck, to say the least.One thing I was glad of, was that Charles had asked for a private hearing. We would stand before a judge inside a private room rather than a big courtroom full of strangers and try to come to an understanding from both parties."Ms. Riley Spencer? We are ready for you." The young lawyer called out from the door. I looked at Derreck with fright written all over me. My heart pounded in my ear from the nerves I felt inside.Soon as I went inside, my heart shrieked with enthusiasm as I saw my baby girl sitting next to her dad."Mom!" She yelled out, standing up and running to my side."Ashley. Oh, baby, I missed you so much, princess." I hugged her tightly, embracing the feel of her arms around my waist as I stroke her hair delicately and kissed her head continuously."

SophieAfter dinner, we all went our separate ways. I missed nights like this; when all was normal and we had no worries but to enjoy our youth.It seems that the closer we get to graduation, the more real adulthood gets, and by all means, adulthood is not always pretty. I see how stressed out daddy gets helping out mom with her radiation and traveling to and from work every day.He's so strong. He never complaints about anything. He simply helps and puts on a happy smile. Deep down, I know he's hurting. He's hurting just as mom is, or more.Logan and I made our way to his car after saying goodbye to our friends and headed to his house. I have spent so little time in his house lately. He's been at my house mainly because he knows I want to be close to mom.Tonight we will spend the night at his place.
