Marian looked shocked. How was a professor able to afford this much? "Marian, won't you come in?" Marian watches him enter. From that day, he became part of her life. Not only did he come every day, but he stayed as long as possible. She decided to take a break from school for a week. She wasn't mentally stable and had no solution for her case. Whenever he had a class, he wouldn't come over and promise her he would come that night. They had already gotten close in a week. Marian sat outside waiting for him to come that night. She gazed at the bright sky that shone on her face, and she took a sip from the orange drink she was drinking. She could hear people dancing and singing on the streets, the smell of Christmas had already gotten more muscular, and there were about to go on break for the season. Marian looked at the gate every five seconds. She wondered when he would show up. It was already four pm, and he hadn't come. She stood up from the chair to head inside when the gate
"Logan?" she rushes to the door, as soon as she does Logan appears at her front with red roses. "I'm sorry for ditching you..." Marian interrupts him with a hug. "I hope this is not a dream," she says quietly, she missed him like a mother would miss her child. "Did something happen when I was away?" he wraps his hands around her too. Marian hugs him still without answering his question. "Um, Marian" he taps her back. "Oh my, I'm sorry" she pushes him away "Um, is everything okay?" he asks "Where were you?" She looks at him he was dressed in a full suit. "Oh, I received an urgent message at home" "You went home?" she watches him take off his coat. "Yes, we had an urgent family meeting" Logan looks at Marian she wasn't even inviting him inside and he wanted to. "What's wrong?" she looks back at the apartment. "Won't you at least invite me in?" "What's that?" she says pointing at the bag he was carrying. "Dinner" he raises it smiling, he looks inside giving Marian a clue
"I lied, I still want you, who wouldn't?" she smile at his face giving him a peck on the lips. "Vanessa" he raises his head."See you soon" she unlocks the car door. Logan looked at her not knowing what he was going to do with her, he knows what Vanessa is like. ____________________________________ "Marian!" Gabby slurred. "Ya!, I have had enough drinks I'm going home" "Come on, we said we are going to my place this night" "I miss him" she cries. "Marian!" they both shouted on the streets. "Yah come on you can't go back to him" "I wanna ask him something" she drops to the ground. "He can't be married" people around look at the both of them. They were both wasted. "I'm going, Marian!" Gabby gets tired. Marian sat on the floor, her chest was heavy she didn't know where to start from, she looked at her bag it was open, her dress was too short, you could even see her underwear. This was Marian falling in love, she didn't know how to tell him she loved him, the
"I would wait for you, NL" she reads. "NL?" she questions. The first person that comes into her head was Logan, Logan Noel. Marian stops, "If he is Logan Noel? that means this apartment" She covers her mouth. "It can't be" "Logan owns this apartment too? it can't be true" Marian's list of things she wanted to ask him became much. Marian was anxious that she could barely sleep, she woke up as early as possible took her bathe, and brushed She took her time this morning to prepare she stretched her hair and wore a nice white and yellow floral gown, She got this when some people come to donate at the orphanage, she picked it and only promised to wear it on a date but she had none, she felt like this would attract Mr. Logan. Marian heads to school, Mr. Logan hadn't gotten to class yet, Marian entered. "Oooou, Marian are you going on a date today?" Faith asked. "No why?" "You look as if you want to seduce someone's husband" she replies. Marian had forgotten he was m
Marian!" a voice calls her. Marian turns to see, unfortunately, it was her adopted sister Jane, Jane was the last child of Mr. and Mrs. Rivers. "Marian, it's you!" "Sister?" Marian says shocked, she knew she was in trouble. What are they even doing here by the way? "Sister?" She walks closer to her, Logan looks out the window, He sees how uncomfortable Marian was, he looks at her side and sees a young girl beside her. Marian kept quiet and slowly waited for her to come closer. "What are you doing here?" Jane asks, looking around. "Huh?" she looks at her "Why are you dressed like this? who is your catch? don't tell me you are waiting for someone to pick you up!" She folds her hands across her chest. "Jane, please" Marian beg. "What mom said was right, you now live in a luxury apartment! after making us go bankrupt!" "I'm sorry but I can't..." she tries ignoring her. "Where do you think you are going?" she pulls her back. "Jane stop!" Marian says, her voice cracke
Marian's heart was the loudest, her mouth was occupied to get hiccups today, her long-time wish was coming to pass. Mr. Logan was kissing her right in the new month. ******* Car parks in front of NL central apartment, the whole street was empty, as it was past three am. "Good night," "You mean good morning?" "Have a goodnight sleep" "You too Mr. Logan" "Come on, you inside "No, you drive off first" "Marian?" he looks at her. "Okay, Bye" Marian enters the building, she was still waving at him still she got to the elevator, she was happy, her goal had come to pass. She couldn't wait to see Gabby and tell her all that happened. She got to her floor and opened her door. "Gabby!" Marian shuts the door. She drops her bag on the floor and heads to the bedroom. "Ya!" Gabby come out from the bathroom. "What's wrong?" "You scared me!" she says about to cry. "What how?" "I didn't know you were back" "I shouted your name!" Marian looks around her house
"Marian" Logan coughs. "Hm?" she realizes she had walked past his mother. "I'm so sorry!" "It's okay," she says. "Mom, this is Marian" "Marian? you have my name" she says. "I do?" "Of course, Logan never told you?" they all look at him. "I was going to," he says. "I'm Logan's mother, his father would soon be here" she looks around. "Okay ma," Marian says. She was still excited she had a lot to tell Angela. "Logan, you wouldn't tell us who she is to you?" Angela ask. "Ah, my girlfriend" he blushes, Marian heart was beating faster than usual, she was finally his girlfriend, she thought his family would be harsh but they are all gentle and nice. "Come in dear, we cooked a lot of food, Logan didn't tell us on time" "Ah, I see" his mother takes her hand in hand. Marian looked back and sees Logan standing there, he gives her a smile beckoning her to go. "What do you like?" his mother asks. "Um..." "Do you like meat or a vegan?" she says. "Mom!" Angela la
"There's no way I'm going to school with you," she says, she was invested on been a guest and didn't realize she was late, today was Monday. "Oh," Angela laughs. "Would you walk from here?" Marian pauses for a while, how was she going to go to school anyways she wasn't putting on normal clothes. "I have to change" "I can lend you my clothes" Angela laughs. "I would really love it but.." "There's no but," she says. "Come on" "Go, she would give you something nice" "Why?" Marian walked out. Minutes later Marian walked out in a white short gown. "She looks lovely," Angela says. Mr. Logan was stunned, he loved seeing her in shorts. Her flawless skin showed. "I'm not comfortable with it," she says. "Liar," Mr. Logan says, "What?" she squeezed her face. "You love shorts things" he laughs. "You're not serious" she follows. "Is it okay to take this?" Marian asked "Of course!" Angela smiles. "Are you sure? I feel it's a little weird." "What?"
