Chapter 303
When I got home, the first thing I did was devour a full meal. Then, for the first time in ages, I poured myself a giant glass of red wine and drank it all in one go
As I let out a tipy little burp, it felt like all the frustration bottled up inside me was finally starting to ease. So, I poured myself another glass.
Man, the wine Logan kapt stashed here is incredible. Smooth, rich, and-wow-seriously strong. Before I knew it, I'd finished one glass, then two, then three. By the third, I was pleasantly buzzed and feeling bold enough to pick up my phone and dial a member The call connected, and Legan's calm and warm voice came through. "Ari? What's up?
Wow, that voice. Deep, soothing, and oh-so-attractive. Honestly, Logan was the full package-porgeous, kind, rich. Why did I ever waste my time on someone like Elijah when a guy like Logan was right these all along?
with a giggly, stred laugh, blurted out, "Logan, I like you"
There was a pause.
"What?" His tone was still composed, but I could tell 'caught him off guard.
like you, Logan. Like, I really like you. Why do like you so much?" 1 babbled
"Ari, have you been drinking?" His voice was calm but with a hint of concern. "Where are you right now?"
"Here! A home!" I yelled gleefully.
"Home"You're drinking at home?" Histone grew sharper. "Are you really at home? just tell me where you are. I'll came get you."
"I'm home, promise! You've got good wine here, do you know? I drank it. Logan, guess what really pissed off Elijah today. He was so mad. It was hilarious."
The low went quiet. Did he mute himself? Hang up? No clue. I didn't care-1 kept rambling.
"He was so mad, Logan. He thought I did everything just to make him miserable, and he even accused me of trying to win him back! Can you believe that? Like I'd want that!" 1edback to my bed, laughing so hard I started pounding the mattress ke a kid having a tantrum. Go lie down and get some rest. We talk when I get back, Logan said, his voice steady but firm
"No" I protested, stubborn as ever. "You have to listen to me! Why aren't you listening? You don't love me anymore!"
""Ari, that's not
"You don't love me anymore!" I wailed, my voice bouncing between crying and laughing. "You're lying! You don't love me."
I could almost hear Logan's exasperation through the phone. "Ari, sten to me. Go ask Lora to make you something to sober up, okay?"
"I don't want to!" I posted, my words tumbling out in a slur. "Say you like me! Right now!"
"What meeting!" I demanded. "What could be more important than me? Huh? Tell me
There was a pause. Then Logan chuckled softly. "Nothing Nothing's more important than you."
Satisfied for a moment, Frowned "Wait. No. That's not enough. You didn't say you love me! Say it! Say you love me!TM
"Alright I love you."
But I wasn't buying it "That was too fast! You're lying! You're just saying it to shut me up!"
"Ta not lying Arl Now, be good and rest for a bit. I'll be home soon."
"Nope! That's not good rough You don't even sound sincere. Don't you know love needs to feel real? You've gotra mean it, Logan!"
He sighed, and when he spoke again, his tone was slower, deeper. "ALL, I love you."
Finally, I smiled "Okay. That's better"
"Great Can I go back to my meeting now? You've already held me up for 20 minutes. Aren't you thirsty or something?"
The moment be said it, I realized my throat was dry. "Oh... yeah. Maybe a little."
Good Go get some water. I've already asked Lora to make you some soup to help you sober up. Make sure you drink it." "Okay," I mumbled, waving him off even though he couldn't see me. "Bye!"
