Chapter 104

Saturday came and just after breakfast we were heading to the first of three viewings for the day. Viewing number one was with a different agent and was further out of the city center but still classed as central. The building from the outside looked lovely and the area seemed nice. Once more, when we arrived inside it just wasn’t what he had asked for. This time instead of wasting time Logan stopped the agent and told them no.

We headed to a coffee shop to grab a drink while we waited for the next viewing after cutting the first one short. We headed back towards the city center and waited for the agent to arrive. After listening to Logans very specific list of what he wanted, I felt like this one was getting close to what he was looking for. But he still seemed distant when walking around. I could see by the look on his face that he did not like the apartment at all, even though it ticked a lot of his requirements. After the second viewing it was clear Logan was beginning to doubt what he had asked for from the estate agents. The only thing I could think of was there was something on his list I did not know about or he was waiting for a wow factor apartment.

“We have one more viewing today, don’t we?” I asked.

“Yeah.” He said a little nonchalantly.

“And there’s no rush on you finding a new place so if this next one is not right then we keep trying until you find the perfect place.” I tried to encourage his hope.

“Well, I kind of have a confession about the next one.”

“I’m listening.”

“It’s something a little different.”

“What’s different?”

“You’ll see,” he smirked.

I had to wonder if this was why he seemed so offput by the apartments and we were not having much luck with them. Excitement grew inside me as we got back into the car. I hated surprises but something about his shift in energy made me less nervous. I quickly noticed that we were heading out of the city. As we reached the outskirts the apartment buildings turned into houses. He turned down a street with a few small houses on. He pulled up outside a large house at the end of the road. It had a double drive leading up to a garage. A small front garden leading up to a cute little porch area over the front door. It looked perfect.

Logan took my hand, and we walked up to the front door. The agent opened the door and let us explore. The living room was spacious and homely, it opened into a modern kitchen diner. Under the stairs was filled with self-storage. Everything had been stripped and redone to a high specification. Logan led me upstairs. There were four bedrooms, one bathroom and the master bedroom had an ensuite. I looked out the bedroom window to see a huge garden and views that stretched over fields for miles. It was a picture-perfect house.

He held me tightly from behind. It was a proper family home. I suddenly felt very aware of the fact I was picturing myself living here with Logan. The way I felt when thinking about that was pure bliss and happiness. He rested his chin on my shoulder looking out at the view into the fields behind us. He took my hand and we headed to the back garden. Outside the double sliding doors, it opened onto a patio area with an undercover hot tub and seating area. The garden had a small, grassed lawn and the rest was paved.

It would be the perfect family home. My mind then started picturing kids playing on the grass with toys while we sat there watching them in the summer sun. I blushed at the vision and tried to push it to the side, but Logan had already noticed. The agent left us to talk about it.
