Loathing Logan (COMPLETE )

Logan

Sophie's POV

I can't say I wasn't bummed out about not going home with Troy right now. But I guess he really needed to go home and spend time with his grandma. She truly is an angel.

She's amazing, I love all the support she gives Troy. She has always known Troy is gay, and has supported him from the day she found out about it. But I guess it's understandable, she has raised him since he came to this town. She cares a lot about him.

His parents have never really cared much about anything other than their business and their lavish life. Which was the reason why they made him move here to be with her. They didn't care much about looking after him.

I hate every time they come to see him. All they do is make him feel upset and leave him feeling pity and disappointment towards himself. He's been my best friend for as long as I can remember, and I can't imagine him getting hurt by anyone.

********

I was so worried about him, I didn't even realize when we had arrived at Logan's house. He parked the car in front of his driveway and poked me on my shoulder.

"Hey." I faintly heard his voice.

"Sophie!" He called my name out louder, bringing me out of my trance.

I cleared my throat and blinked my eyes. "Um, sorry what?" I shook my face quickly, and glanced at him pursing my lips and my eyes opened wide.

He smiled, that stupid smile I hate seeing on his face. I don't know if it's a happy smile, a smile of I'm about to prank you again, or just a simple smile. Either way, I hate it.

"I said we're here. Come on, mom text me, she's caught in a meeting but she ordered take-out for us. It should already be here. Let's go eat."

"Thanks, but I'm not that hungry." I couldn't just go in there and eat like nothing is happening! My friend, NO! My best friend was in a state of melancholy thanks to his parents who decided to crush his persona. I get it, not everyone is ok with the idea of knowing someone is gay. But he's their son! Regardless of the fact they rarely spend time with them. . . . He's still their son.

"Sophie your stomach's been grumbling the whole way over here. You can't lie to me and say you're not hungry. Come on, we'll eat first and then get started on our assignment." He still had that dumb smile on his face; he took the keys out of the ignition and got off the car.

I sighed, and grabbed my backpack off the car floor, and opened the door, following right behind him as he walked into the house.

I went in, and immediately Ashley came and hugged me. She smiled and looked over my shoulder. "What? No Aaron again? Why Sophie, why?" She pouted and gave me a sad puppy look making me chuckle.

"He's probably home with Jason playing video games today. Jason's been asking him to show him how to play a new video game they just got last night." I smiled and went over the kitchen counter and placed my backpack down.

Logan had already gone upstairs, I suppose he was taking a shower already. They always come out sweating from practice.

"So, you and Logan, huh? Are you guys going out now?" 

My eyes widen and my face felt hot by her sudden question. "What? No. You're brother and I can barely stand each other Ash! No offense." I raised an eyebrow sitting on a barstool and grabbing a cookie from a plate on the kitchen island.

"Yeah, none was taken. He can be a bit of an ass. But, I figured you two were dating because. . . You know?" She glanced at me with a cheeky smile and. Playing with her eyebrows raising them up and down.

"No, Ash. I don't know. Please enlighten me why you would think I'd date your brother? because I can honestly say, I would not date him in a million years."

She chuckled and nodded her head, grabbing plates off the cupboard and placing them around the kitchen island for the three of us.

"Yeah? that's not what I saw when I went into his room and you two were glued by the lips!" My eyes went wide and I choked on the cookie, making me cough.

She got up laughing and grabbed a bottle of water, opened it, and passed it to me.

"Yeah, you forgot about that huh? I saw the way you two were hugging and kissing. I mean, I know my brother's an ass, but he is cute, don't you think?" 

I have no idea how my mind went from worrying about Troy to being embarrassed about Ashley reminding me that I almost kissed my worst enemy. Even worse, that she'd think we were now dating. 

"Ash, we were not glued by the lips, ok? I just. . .I tripped and he caught me. . .before I fell on my face. That's all." I said nervously, she looked at me with her eyes squinting and tapping her fingers on the island top.

I know there was a great chance she didn't believe me, and it made my face feel hot. I looked away and drank more of my water.

"Ok, if you say so. But you would be a huge improvement from the annoying girlfriend he had before. All she did was nag, and put him down on EVERYTHING he did." She rolls her eyes looking towards the side, she closes her eyes and sighs.

I didn't want to get too personal in the conversation, to be honest. Just the mention of Amber, Mackenzie, or any of the cheerleaders made my stomach churn. I can't say I hated them, but they do tend to follow Amber, and Amber has made it her personal goal to hate me and make my life miserable. So it's easy to say I could be careless about them, and frankly would rather talk about the great revolution or debate quantum Physics rather than talk about them.

Thankfully, Logan came downstairs and Ashley dropped the conversation with Amber. He sat down next to me, grabbing the brown paper bag off the island top, and took out the trays of food. 

It looked so good. His mom had been working like crazy on her catering business. She had a delivery guy send food from her own business for us to eat.

The rest of our lunch break went by peacefully, besides Ashley starring at both of us and giggling, making Logan roll his eyes.

After we ate, Ashley volunteered to wash dishes since she had already done her homework. 

We both got our stuff and moved to his living room. As I sat down, I felt my phone vibrate. I quickly took it out and saw a text from Troy. 

Troy- Hey love! 

Sophie- Hi Troy. How did it go with your grandma? Did she enjoy her foot rub?

Troy-  Honestly speaking, I think she enjoyed it a little too much. So now I'm stuck giving her a foot rub every other day for the next two weeks as a thank you for saving my ass from my parents. A small price to pay if you ask me. So I don't mind.

I smiled reading his texts, I looked up and saw Logan clenching his jaw and tapping his pen harshly on his notepad.

"What? It's just Troy, ok? Don't worry, we'll start in a minute." I answered him making him throw his hands up and leaning back on the couch. His gesture made me chuckle. I like making him get annoyed. 

I quickly received another message from Troy and I swiped my phone to read it.

Troy- Hey, I'm freaking out. Dylan just sent me a text. Apparently, Lexie sent him a message inviting him to the movies. I think he wants me as his wingman. But oh honey you know that's not what I want. So, can you please please PLEASE go with me??? PLEASE!!!!??

I have a feeling Troy is starting to crush on Dylan. But I'm scared if Dylan doesn't feel the same for him. Or if he ends up liking Alexa instead. Seems Alexa is always looking for the opportunity to hang out with Dylan. Which it honestly is making me nervous. I would hate for my two best friends to fight over a guy.

I sighed and texted back quickly before Logan's murderess look killed me.

"Ok. What time? I'm still stuck with the loath of my life. So maybe you can pick me up when I get home?"

Troy sends a lot of laughing emojis in return making me chuckle.

He then sends another message that makes my eyes widen. "No need babes. I'll risk it and pick you up at the lion's den. The movie starts at 8:45. What time will you be ready?"

Shit. I really don't know if that would be a good idea. But then again, it would save Logan a trip to my house. The movie theater in our town wasn't far from Logan's house. So I didn't really need a lot of time before it started. I hate waiting around before the movie starts other than watching the trailers.

I sent him a quick text back agreeing and asking him to pick me up around 8:20. 

I got a text back right away from him saying he'd be here. I placed my phone on the coffee table and got my books out quickly to get to work.

"Finally! Can we get started now? Or do you need more time to text your boyfriend?" Logan sneered at me and it made my blood boil.

I placed my book down with a thud and looked at him annoyed. "Look. First, I don't need your permission to text my BEST FRIEND. Second, we have plenty of time to work on this assignment, ok? And third, yes I'm done. Now can we get started?" 

I could hear the clenching of his teeth as his jaw tightened. I turned quickly, closing my eyes and narrowing my eyebrows. 

"You're going to ruin your teeth by grinding your teeth like that all the time you know? But don't mind me, I'm not the one that's going to have to pay my dentist to fix me a set of dentures." I said shrugging my shoulders and picking up my book.

I knew I was just picking at his soreness. But I really, REALLY do enjoy making him mad. That's just the way we work together.

By 8:20, I heard a knock on his door. Ashley came and opened it. I could hear Troy's voice, and Ashley's eyes went wide, as if she had just seen the biggest piece of candy in her life.

"Hi, I'm here to pick up Sophie." I could hear his husky voice. Logan's face went pale to the sound of Troy's voice.

"What the f-" 

"Hey, there you are baby girl!" Troy called out as he heard Logan's voice. He walked past Ashley, who looked as if she'd been left dumbfounded. 

Logan rubbed the back of his neck and face. "Hi T," I answered as I got up and hugged him.

"What are you doing here Troy?" Logan asked Troy. He let go of my embrace and turned to glare at Logan.

"Came to make sure my girl was still alive. And! To take her to the movies. Ready to go sweetheart?" 

"So you two are dating aren't you?" Logan's eyebrows narrowed and his right hand fisted. I was tickled to hear Logan think we were dating.

"You got a problem if we were? She's free to choose whoever she wants to date Spencer."

"Yeah. Clearly. Have a goodnight." He grabs his books and begins to walk away.

Troy giggles and nods his head. I look at him seriously with my hands crossed over my chest. Ashley still standing by the door speechless. 

"What? He started!" He says shrugging his shoulders and giggling. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my stuff placing them back inside my bag and walked past him, hitting him on his arm as I passed him. 

I hugged Ashley and bid her goodbye. But I saw how she blushed as Troy came by and kissed her on her cheek and said bye to her. "You are so bad! You know that? I bet if you were straight, you'd be a big man w***e, just like Logan." I said, scrunching my nose as I sat and placed my seatbelt on.

I love going out with my friends. But I'll be honest, I was a little guilty right now just taking off like that on Logan. Maybe I should have mentioned it to him that Troy was coming to pick me up.

I sighed and looked towards his window as Troy placed his seatbelt on.

But it's as if we've always been able to read each other's minds.

He looks at me and goes silent. He grabs my hand and kisses my knuckles softly. "Go. Make sure he's fine. And tell him I was kidding or whatever. I'll wait for you." 

I smiled and kissed his cheek, opened the door, and got out.

I leaned down and smiled at him. "I'll apologize for leaving. But it's ok if he thinks you're my boyfriend. Let him wonder about it for a while." I said winking at him and closing the door.

I walked towards the house and I couldn't help laughing. I could hear Troy from inside his car yelling. "That's my girl." He always knows how to make me laugh.

I knocked, and immediately Ashley opened the door. I walked past her and up the stairs towards Logan's room.

I knocked, but I didn't get an answer. I sighed and knocked again, and this time, he harshly opened the door answering annoyed. "Ashley I told you. I want to be alone, ok?" His eyes widen and I tilted my head down a little.

"Look. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for not telling you that Troy was picking me up. I know it's nothing big, but either way, I should have told you. I cut our work time short and I promise tomorrow I'll tell him to come later, it's just that we had plans and-" 

"It's fine Sophie. You don't need to apologize. I get it. You hate working with me, and you look forward to leaving the second you can. I'll tell you what, why don't we both work on our own. We can meet once a week and talk about what we've come up with so our assignments can somehow coincide with each other. Would that be better for you? That way you don't have to stand seeing me." He shrugs his shoulders and clenches his jaw.

That's not what I was expecting him to say, but I wasn't going to get a bad grade because of his stubbornness. 

"What? No. That's not what I-"

"Well, it's what I want. Ok? Besides, it seems the only one interested in this assignment is me. If you don't want to do the work just say so. I'll do everything and make sure I put your name on it. Cool?" 

"No. Not cool. I said that's not what I want. We'll work on this together. And for your information, I am interested in this assignment. So don't you dare make it seem like I don't care." He turned walking back to his room, walking up the stairs, and gesturing with his hand for me to go.

"Whatever Soph. Have fun with your boyfriend at the movies."

"I will. Thank you." I said as I followed him inside. His room was much cleaner than before. Some of his paintings and sketches had been neatly hung adorning his walls. 

"Fine! Go ahead and go then." He answered raising his voice and turning towards me, startling me as he stopped and turned before me.

"That's what I'm going to do. Enjoy my evening, while you're here bittering over your stupid breakup with your pageant queen." I sneered back, my blood boiling as I began to get irritated with his attitude. 

"Good. Wouldn't want to keep you from your movie and make-out session, so goodbye." He raised his voice louder and got closer to my face as I scrunched my face and crossed my hands over my chest.

"And what if I do? He probably kisses way better than you." I sneered getting closer to his face. I was not going to allow him to intimidate me. 

"How would you know? You've never kissed me have you?" He yells back getting closer to me, making me nervous but mad as hell from his stupid stubborn behavior.

"And I don't want to. Because you're probably one of the worst kisses-" Before I knew it, he pulled me towards him. Grabbing my head from the back of my neck and kissed me hard.

I won't lie. It surprised me, but he was good. His lips were sweet and soft. He bit my lip softly, making me part my lips, he quickly invaded my mouth. His tongue swiftly moving about in sync with mine, making my stomach flutter and sparks all over my body.

He was a damn great kisser. 

I didn't want to pull away. But I wasn't going to let him win this one. I pushed him away and glared at him angrily. 

My eyesight blurred as the nerves in me ran wild. "Yup, just like I thought. You're a bad kisser Logan." I said as I panted. My breath was erratic and I could faintly see his stupid smile.

"Really? Is that why you kissed me back?" He said as he rubbed his lip softly.

"Whatever. I have to go. My BOYFRIEND is waiting for me. I'm going to the movies with him." I sneered as I turned on my heel and grabbed the doorknob.

"Sure. Ok."

"And maybe we will make out through the whole movie."

"Ok." He said as he gestured in agreement, still with that stupid smile on his face.

"And he'll probably kiss me way better than you."

"Remind me again, who are you dating Dylan or Troy?" He crosses his hands over his chest and runs his chin placing one foot forward.

"Maybe I'm dating both. But I certainly will never go out with you." I sneered scrunching my nose.

"Sure about that?" He dared to taunt me.

"Yes!" I glared back at him angrily.

"Are you now?" He said as he smiled and raised an eyebrow. 

"I'm more than sure. And you know what?" I said as I opened the door.

"You're a bad kisser," I said as I walked out of his room.

"You're lying, Soph! And you know it. You're going to be my girl. And I'm going to spend my days kissing you senseless." He said as I walked away, I stopped midway and glared back at him as he stood by the door.

"I don't think so," I said and turned back and walked towards the stairs.

"Oh, I definitely think so Sophie. You liked my kiss, and while you're kissing your boyfriend, all you'll do is think of our kiss and how much you wished I was kissing you again."

I placed my hand on the rail and gripped it hard. I sighed and turned around glaring at him.

"You think too much of yourself you know that? As I said, you're a bad kisser. Goodnight, and goodbye Logan."

I said as I began to trot down the stairs.

The butterflies in my stomach still running wild inside and my body shaking. 

Maybe it was best I hadn't gone back up. Now, it was going to be harder for me to stay away from those lips. He really is a great kisser. But mark my words Logan, I'll not make it easy for you.
