I began packing for some things needed when I headed to Lily's house. I grabbed my make-up bag when my phone chimed.I saw a text from Logan that he was outside in the car. I text him back that I'll be there in a second.Once I got everything in my backpack, I was not giving away that I was going to Lily's house to change into a formal attire professionally made by Aunt Nicky. I didn't want to make everyone, including Logan, suspicious of me. I have to act natural.I left my room and saw the TV on with Ares sleeping. His snoring made me chuckle, and Athena was in the kitchen preparing to bring some ingredients to Wolfe's house."Effie, how long will you stay at Lily's house?""Not long, but I promise to be home by 10.""Well, if it's homework, then it's okay. Just let me know you are going home late.""Yes, mom," I said that as sarcasm, but learning about her pregnancy wasn't a joke. "So, are you going to tell Rex tonight?"She sighed, looking at the bag of stuff. "Not yet. I plan to
Logan (Book 1) FIFTY ONE
A day before the dinner party at Lily's grandparents' house. I saw Lena at her company, which wasn't so bad. After I talked to Athena about my encounter with a famous producer, she was thrilled. She decided to take a paternity test for the results of her baby's father. I have never seen my sister look as nervous as ever, which was rare coming from a sister who could speak her mind. "Now, who's sulking?" I retort the words on my own to Lily, who today isn't in her best mood since that night. We are at our usual hang-out, and Lily doesn't seem hungry. "You haven't touched your food." Lily stayed in silence, staring off into space. I know that look. I had that look. I invented that look. Well, actually, no, but I was in that state. When she and I went to that dinner party, her grandparents' host. They introduced us to the Naval family, the groom's family. Then during dinner time, Seema, Lily's grandmother, was introduced along with her husband Vishal Haasan with the rest of the gue

The only thing he last heard was he had moved to California."So, this whole time, you have not found him?" I asked.Odin loft his tea and elegantly took a sip like he was royalty. "I had Terry look for him."I learned that the severe-looking bodyguard is named Terry Young."It's no wonder I don't see him here with you. He's like a magnet keeping a watchful eye on anyone close to you.""Are you interested? Terry is single." He said. "Shy with the women, but he's a good guy."I shook my head vigorous

Logan (Book 1) FIFTY FOUR
Logan always makes me feel so childish inside. He wakes the bright side of me, the best side, all the facets of myself that only require love to be healthy and whole.

Our energy vibrates in a unique way, each the perfect compliment to others. Logan is what makes my heart strong. His smile alone burnishes my soul into a beauty it could never have achieved on its own. When Logan looked at me, it was as if every once of breath was taken from my lungs. It floats into the air like midnight smoke. The world stopped every time he kissed me, leaving just the two of us to wander the earth together. Every time he held my face between his hands. It felt like he was untying all the knots. Holding me for eternity in the arms I've grown so accustomed to. This is what falling in love was like a story you never wanted to end.

"Great job," Lena told me over the speaker.I pulled down the large headphone panting with a dry throat. "Thanks, Lena.""Come have a drink, and we can continue next weekend."I hung the headphones and went to the recording room's small lounge. Lena hands me room-temperature water. It quenched my thirst and almost had me finish the bottle."Although you aren't officially a trainee, it seems that you don't need the voice lessons." Lena pours a small liquid bottle into an electronic cigarette. She saw me stare at her and then at the pencil size device. "Oh? Chris wanted me to quit smoking and insisted I do water vapor.""Your six-year-old son told you that?""He may be in elementary school, but that boy has an adult brain."I laughed, taking another drink to moistenmy throat."He told me his teacher taught his class that smoking is bad and can cause cancer." She groaned, rolling her eyes while taking a inhale of the vape. "Chris is scared I might die soon if I don't stop.""Well, they

I waved once more, leaving the building. I saw Wolfe's share of the Hummer vehicle. I climb inside, kissing Logan or two. As I unbuckle my seat belt, I find Nina watching us from inside through the glass walls like a creepy girl you see in those scary ass movies. She just stood there looking at us. I felt the unfeeling vibe getting goosebumps on my bumps, and the tiny hairs on the back of my head went up."Baby girl, you okay?"Logan's voice snapped my senses as I gave him a nervous smile. "Oh, nothing. Just thinking.""Oh, okay, what do you want for dinner?""Anywhere is fine.""You know I heard Jordan's family have a diner.""The first day you got here, you do not have once eaten there?""Hey, this is the first time I heard of it." He protested. He started the drive hitting the freeway."Well, you are missing out, baby boy," I tease him. "Their burgers are Magnifique.""Oh my god, I love it when you speak another language. It's turning me on," he groaned as he shifted a bit in his s

"Girl, when are you and Logan going to throw it down," Clark asked.Today it's just Clark and me at the library for once. Lily is busy with the arranged marriage and goes on a date with Kareem while she still thinks of Liam. The whole not-virgin-anymore freaked her out, and she's between two guys who she can't handle. As for Odin, I haven't seen him for days. He's probably with a lady friend he told me about and having lunch together someplace.I groaned, scratching my head. "I've been trying to throw it down, but he keeps getting distracted, and there are also interruptions," ie. Seth. I groaned to myself. When I couldn't concentrate on the math homework, I threw my pencil, making a growling noise when the librarian shushed me. "What am I doing wrong? Is it me? I know my skin has these markings, and it's not attractive. I ain't skinny like Lily and-""Whoa, stop right there," Clark stopped me from hyperventilating. "First of all, there is nothing wrong with you. Second, ignore the s
