Unwanted guests

Ava’s POVI had barely taken a sip of my morning coffee when a loud, insistent knock echoed through Logan’s apartment. My stomach twisted into a familiar knot of dread. I already knew who it was.Brian and Kate.I regret giving them Logan's address, will he be mad?Logan, who had been stretching lazily on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “You expecting someone, nerd?”I set my cup down with a sigh, rubbing my temples. “Unfortunately.”He nodded then continued scrolling his phone. Guess he isn't angry as I expected him to beThe knocking grew more aggressive.“Jesus, are they trying to break the door down?” Logan muttered, walking over to open it.The moment the door swung open, my older brother, Brian, strode in like he owned the place, his eyes immediately scanning the apartment with a look of disapproval. My sister, Kate, followed right behind him, her arms crossed, her expression a perfect mix of annoyance and rudeness.Brian’s sharp blue eyes landed on me, narrowing instantly. “Ava.

Denial, Denial... Denial!

Ava's povAfter all the confrontations with my brother, we decided to go to the nearby restaurant. Me and Logan were unusually quiet, maybe it's because of Brian and Kate but I could feel the tension between us.Kate kept yapping about her perfect little circle of friends and Brian was supporting her as always. The truth is I was never anyone's favorite in our family. My dad barely acknowledged me and my siblings avoided me like a plague. Brian and Kate have always been close unlike me… always on their own.After we reached the restaurant, I sat beside Kate facing Logan while Kate was facing Brian. The waiter came to our table,he wore a white shirt dress and blue pants with an apron. He looked weirdly at me but I didn't let it get to me.“Hello my name is Jake and welcome to souvenirs, what can I get you?" He said, looking between us.Kate sighed " I'll have Italian sausage Bolognese and Brian will have crispy chicken wings”.Jake nodded and turned to Logan " what about you guys?”Lo

His Sweet Side

Ava’s POVI didn’t know where we were going, and honestly, I didn’t care. After spending the afternoon trapped under my siblings’ judgmental gazes, insults and everything. Anything was better than staying in Logan’s apartment, drowning in my thoughts. So when he drove us across town and pulled into a parking lot, I was too lost in my own head to even notice where we were until I saw the glowing neon sign above the entrance.Westbridge Bowling Alley.I turned to Logan, raising an eyebrow. “Bowling?”He smirked, unbuckling his seatbelt. “Yeah, nerd, bowling. You ever been?”I scoffed, crossing my arms. “Of course I have.”That was a lie. I had seen people bowl, sure, but actually playing? Not so much.Logan’s smirk widened like he saw right through me. “Right… let’s go then.”I followed him inside, the sound of rolling balls and crashing pins filling the air. The place was buzzing with energy ,families, couples, and groups of friends laughing and cheering. The neon lights reflected off

awkwardness 👀

Ava's povWe made it back to Logan's apartment and he switched the lights on. Everything has become awkward because of my mixed feelings about Logan and I don't even want to face him now.I heard him sigh “nerd! You're going to crush a poor teddy bear with the way you're hugging it like that".I immediately came to my senses. “Oh shoot! I didn't mean too". This is actually the first gift I've received from someone other than my mom and whether it's from Logan or not I'm going to cherish it.“Logan!”“Nerd”We both said at the same time.I nodded at him " you can go first”.He reached his hands to his hair and started messing with them " umm…I had so much fun today nerd! If you're down, we can do this again…sometime?”.He actually looks cute when he's nervous!.Shit! Don't get swayed by his cuteness Ava, don't!. I reminded myself." Definitely, I had a good time too, thank you Logan for what you did today; I really appreciate it”. It's true; I never thought that Logan would actually t

Library Kiss

Ava's povI woke up early in the morning since I had an early class and a project to do. I was more tempted to skip but I couldn't because it's me. I could lose my scholarship and that is the last thing I want. I took a fast shower then proceeded to get dressed.I put on my jeans and a black hoodie. All these years I've never cared about how I dress or any kind of fashion, I just wear what I feel is comfortable. I cleaned the living room and kitchen. I decided to make a simple breakfast,not wanting to use too many things and cause Logan to lose. I made coffee, bread with sausage. I looked at my watch and it's 8am, only an hour left for my class.Groaning under my breath,I stuffed more bread into my mouth then stumbled out of Logan's apartment and started running to westbridge.About 30 minutes later I reached my class and this was the first time of my life arriving late to my class. It's because I kept daydreaming about all that happened with Logan.“Ok! Guys I'll be submitting your

Fake Date and Pretending

Ava's povLogan's words were still echoing in my mind as I walked to the cafeteria, the sound of the soft click of my sneakers on the tile floor almost comforting in its simplicity. He’d told me he’d pick me up after practice. He’d told me. I hadn’t even asked. And part of me loved it, the part that wanted to believe that maybe, just maybe, he liked spending time with me beyond just our tutoring sessions.I had to shake the thought away. Focus! Focus! on the tutoring. That’s what this was about. Helping him with his grades. Nothing more.But then, why did the idea of him picking me up make my heart skip a beat? Why did the idea of spending time with him outside of the classroom have me in a frenzy? I’d told myself, after our study sessions, after that kiss in the library...the kiss, that we could just go back to normal. Friends. Nothing more. And yet, with each passing moment, the line between what I wanted and what I was willing to admit to myself became blurrier.By the time I reac

Back to his playboy ways

Ava's povI was busy doing my project trying to do anything that could get Logan Carter out of my mind. And damn! If it works!It took me a long time to finish my project when I finally decided to get up from a very comfortable couch or my current bed. I rolled my eyes.I still wonder why didn't Logan offer me his spare room all this time I've been here and left me suffering here on this couch? But I can't say anything about his house rules!I went to take a shower. After a quick three-ish minute shower I put on comfortable sweatpants and a hoodie and tied my hair in a ponytail. I was finally hungry, and there's literally nothing to eat here. I don't want to rummage through Logan's kitchen cabinets because first; it's not mine and second; I don't want him to get mad at me nor thinking he finally has a chance to get into my pants.I decided to go to Walmart to buy my own groceries. Upon arriving at Walmart I shoved my hands deep into the pockets of my hoodie, the cool air from the AC i

Reality Check!

Ava’s POVSilence...Thick, and suffocating silence.I sat frozen, my fingers tightening around my half emptied bowl of noodles as I watched Logan shift uncomfortably. His jaw clenched, his hands running through his already messy hair. The girl;whoever she was...was still on the floor, blinking in confusion before letting out a loud, dramatic huff.And I thought he had changed!mph! silly me “Seriously?” she muttered, standing up and dusting off her tiny dress. She flipped her hair, glaring at Logan. “You didn’t tell me you had company.”Logan didn’t respond. His gaze was locked onto mine, and for some reason, it pissed me off.Tristan shook his head, looking disgusted. “Bro, what the hell?”Charlotte’s mouth was hanging open, her wide eyes bouncing between me and Logan like she was watching the most dramatic scene in a movie.I could feel my chest tightening, and I hated it. I hated that this… whatever this was, affected me. That Logan being Logan the playboy, the reckless flirt bot

Drawing the line

Ava's povAfter the Logan incident yesterday I didn't want to face him at all.so I avoided him at all costs. The next morning I didn't have any morning class, Tristan and Charlotte wasted no time in helping me searching for part time jobs. Charlotte had practically forced me out of my bed, dragging me along as she and Tristan made calls to people they're familiar with, checking job postings, and even walked me through every cafe, bookstore, and retail store which were close by.“Okay,hear me out," Charlotte said as we strolled around the town. “Ava, you should totally work at that cozy little bookstore near my place. It's quiet,you love books, and best of all,no perverts or rude customers".I sighed” I doubt they're hiring,I didn't see any post about hiring". I turned to them”but thanks for the effort guys you've no idea how much you've helped me".Tristan suddenly pointed to a small diner across the street. It was not bigger but had a lot of customers. " That place has ‘’help wanted'

Miserable without you

~Logan’s POV~I stood there, frozen, as Ava disappeared into the kitchen. I couldn't wrap my head around anything, nothing made sense at that time.She was leaving.She was leaving me!I didn’t know what the hell to say. My mind kept replaying her words… I got a job today and an apartment.She got a job! And She was actually moving out.My chest tightened in a way I didn’t understand. I should’ve seen this coming. Hell, I pushed her to this. Last night was a mess. I knew I screwed up the second I woke up with a pounding headache and the memory of Ava’s furious, disappointed face burned into my brain. But hearing her say it out loud, making it final…damn. I hadn’t expected it to feel like this.I was low-key devastated! Maybe not low-key!I ran a hand through my hair, frustration bubbling under my skin. Why does this bother me so much?Why do I feel like this? She's a bet right?I should be fine with it. She was just a roommate, right? A tutor. Someone who happened to live in my space
