Business as Usual?

Isabella -  Usually, whenever I entered Logan's office, he would usually give me that annoying smirk. But today he was sitting at his desk, focused on his laptop, the faint clack of his keyboard filling the room. I cleared my throat. “Good morning,” I began, clutching my planner a little tighter than necessary. Logan glanced up briefly, his dark eyes unreadable. “Morning,” he replied in that deep, annoyingly calm tone of his. “What’s on the agenda?” I rattled off the day’s schedule like a nervous auctioneer. “You have a conference call with the board at ten, a lunch meeting with the marketing team at noon, and the report from the finance department is due by three. I’ve already emailed them to confirm. Also, there’s a request from HR about—”

Shopping

Isabella - Rain. Not the kind that’s cold, harsh, or makes you miserable. No, this was a nice, pleasant summer rain—one of those gentle showers that make everything glisten and smell like freshly cut grass and wet pavement. Perfect weather for... whatever adults do after work. For me, it was just another day trying to survive Logan Sinclair.I zipped up my coat and stepped out of the office building. The sky was a soft gray, the raindrops dancing around me like overenthusiastic party guests. Just as I was about to take a deep breath and embrace the calming rhythm of the rain, I felt it—a presence. Someone was standing a few feet away, umbrella in hand.“There you are,” he said, his voice smooth and annoyingly charming. “Lovely weather, isn’t it?”Logan. Of all people, of all times. And in this perfect summer rain?I raised an eyebrow, trying to muster some semblance of annoyance. “Logan. What are you doing here?”He shrugged, his smirk as infuriating as ever. “Just enjoying the rain.

Shadows of regret

Isabella "Umm, did he tell you why we broke up?" I asked them. "Yeah, he said that you were always busy and not giving him enough attention," Trixie replied sympathetically.  “Oh, Isabella, it’s so brave of you to be out and about. I don’t know if I could after... everything. Carlson was so… devoted before, wasn’t he? Always talking about you. It’s a shame how things ended up.” I forced a tight smile, my cheeks aching from the strain. Their words were like tiny daggers aimed straight at my chest. Sympathy, pity—whatever they thought they were offering—it felt more like a subtle way to say, You messed up, and now everyone knows it.The truth was, they weren’t entirely wrong. Carlson had been devoted—once. Before the late nights at work, before the endles

A Cozy Dinner

Isabella “This looks… amazing,” I said, taking in the sight of perfectly cooked pasta, tender chicken, and a vibrant salad.Logan grinned, leaning casually against the counter. “Wait until you taste it.”I arched an eyebrow, unable to resist teasing him. “Confident, aren’t we?”“Always.” He winked, and I couldn’t help but laugh softly.As I admired the feast, I realized how much effort he’d put into this. I glanced at him, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt for my earlier annoyance. “You should freshen up before we eat,” I said, noticing a light sheen of sweat on his brow from his culinary efforts.

Its bound to happen

Isabella -I stared at him, utterly exasperated.“Logan,” I began, enunciating each syllable carefully, “are you seriously planning on staying here all night?”He tilted his head, his expression an infuriating mix of amusement and mock innocence. “Are you seriously planning to kick me out in this rain?”I glanced at the window, where the faint drizzle was barely misting the glass. “Rain? You have a car, Logan. It’s not like I’m asking you to trek through the wilderness.”He leaned forward, his grin widening. “Ah, but I made a promise, Bella.”I blinked, caught off guard. “What promise?”“To be your booty call.” He said it so casually, as if he were offering to bring snacks to a picnic.I nearly choked on my own indignation. “Excuse me?!”He chuckled, clearly enjoying my reaction. "I promised to always be there for you, no matter what. And you liked it last time when we..."I pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling a headache coming on. “Stop reminding me of that night."He shrugged, co

Morning After Chaos

Isabella -I woke up feeling like I’d been hit by a train. A very attractive, very infuriating train named Logan. My muscles ached in places I didn’t even know I had muscles, and as I sat up, the events of last night came rushing back like an X-rated reel.Logan had been a beast. Four times. Four. Yeah, I had been stupid again!And yet, there he was, casually lounging next to me in bed, looking annoyingly fresh and smug.“Morning,” he said, his voice warm and entirely too cheerful for this hour.I blinked at him, my brain still trying to boot up. “What time is it?”He checked his phone with the nonchalance of someone who hadn’t spent the night breaking records. “A little after nine.”“Damn!” I scrambled out of bed, nearly tripping over the comforter. “I’m late!”“For what?” he asked, his tone laced with amusement.“Work!” I snapped, already searching for my clothes.He chuckled, the sound deep and infuriatingly pleasant. “Relax. It’s Saturday. Besides, your boss—” he pointed at himsel

A Visit to Grandma

Isabella -Logan insisted on driving, which, considering his track record of being annoyingly persistent, wasn’t a surprise. We made small talk on the way, though I was mostly preoccupied, mentally preparing for what lay ahead. Visiting Grandma was always bittersweet, like trying to hug a memory that kept slipping away.The nursing home was quiet as we walked in. Logan carried a small bouquet of flowers he’d insisted on picking up at the last minute.We found Grandma sitting in her favorite armchair near the window, a blanket draped over her lap. She was staring outside at the garden, her expression distant yet peaceful.“Hi, Grandma,” I said softly, kneeling beside her.Her head turned, and for a fleeting moment, I thought she recognized me. But then her expression shifted into one of warm familiarity, and she said, “Amy! There you are, darling. I was beginning to think you’d forgotten about me.”Amy—my mother. My chest tightened, but I forced a smile and knelt beside her. “Hi, Mom,”

The Lesson

Logan - 2012I hit the pavement hard, the sting of asphalt scraping my palms barely registering over the sound of their laughter. My backpack lay a few feet away, its contents spilling out like my dignity.“Pathetic,” Jared sneered, his gang standing behind him like they were the kings of the schoolyard.I didn’t respond. What was the point? Anything I said would just give them more fuel. I got up, brushing the dirt off my jeans, and grabbed my bag. My eye throbbed; my pride was even worse off.As I walked away, their taunts followed me home. By the time I stepped through the front door, the swelling had started.At dinner, Thomas, my cousin who had been visiting, asked.“So, Logan, you gonna tell us what happened?”“I got into a fight,” I said, hoping that would be the end of it.But of course, it wasn’t.“A fight?” Dad scoffed, setting his fork down with a clink. “More like you got your ass kicked. You’re too soft, boy. Weak. You’ll never make it through high school if you keep this

Thoughts

LoganIsabella stood up, brushing imaginary crumbs off her jeans, and slung her bag over her shoulder. “Let’s go home,” she said simply, her tone unreadable.I followed her out of the café, my hands shoved deep into my pockets. The air outside was crisp, the sun starting its slow descent, casting long shadows across the pavement. Neither of us spoke as we walked to the car.The drive to her apartment was quiet. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye, trying to gauge her mood, but her face was unreadable as she stared out the window, lost in thought.When we finally pulled up to her building, I shifted the car into park and turned to her. She unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the door handle but paused, looking at me for the first time since we’d left the café.“Thanks,” she said softly, her voice breaking the silence like a pebble dropped into still water. “For today. I appreciated… everything.”Her words caught me off guard. For a moment, I wasn’t sure how to respond. “It

The Unexpected Trip

Isabella -I was organizing my notes after the meeting when Logan’s voice cut through the chatter.“Isabella, can I see you in my office?”I glanced up to see him standing at his door. I nodded, grabbing my notebook and following him inside. The moment I stepped in, Derek appeared out of nowhere, his curiosity getting the better of him.“Where are you headed for the signing?” Derek asked, leaning against the doorframe.Logan leaned back in his chair, an amused look on his face. “The founder of Fintech is a bit of a recluse. He lives in a quiet suburb outside New York. I’ll be traveling there next week to finalize the deal.”Derek whistled low. “Sounds... quaint.”Logan chuckled. “Quaint might be an understatement. The man is a bit of an eccentric."After a few more questions, Derek excused himself, leaving the two of us alone. Logan turned his attention back to me, his expression unreadable.“I need you to come with me,” he said, his tone leaving little room for argument.I blinked, c
