Kissed

Kissed:

“Logan!”

“Surprised to see me?”

“I just…. Didn’t know you were back.”

“I told you I’d be back soon didn’t I?”

“I don’t remember you saying so, I’m just surprised.”

I stare at him in amazement, the way my heart feels is something I am unable to understand.

“You’re just gonna stand there like that?”

“Oh? Forgive my rudeness, please come in.”

“That’s not what I meant, did you not miss me?”

“Miss you? I don’t think I did.”

In actuality, I missed him very much and I try to cover up my feelings by smiling nervously.

“You’re mean”

“Because I didn’t miss you?”

With fast movements, he plants a kiss on my cheek.

“How about now?”

My face and body feels hot but I try to deny it.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Alpha Logan.”

“Okay then, aren’t you going to let me in?”

Please come in, I’m sure my brother would be surprised to see you.

“Not really, he called me.”

“Is that why you’re here?”

“Partly, there’s another reason.”

“What other reason is there?”

“I’m looking at her”

He stares at me seductively, his beautiful eyes totally fixated on mine.

“Umm…alpha Logan, that’s my sister, I believe you’ve met her before.”

We’re interrupted by my brother’s voice and we act normally.

“Of course, I met miss Reid at your birthday party. You don’t remember?”

Ah, I was mostly drunk that day. I don’t remember some of the events that took place

“Is that right? I guess you had fun.”

“Please, come in.”

He steals a glance at me and our eyes meet again before he enters the house.

Clara, who had come downstairs with her baby, welcomes the guest with a smile.

“Is there something I can get you? Alcohol?”

My brother offers but Logan turns It down almost immediately.

“I’d love to but I’ll be driving home after now. Wouldn’t want an incident would we?”

Mason laughs lightly.

“You’re a funny man, Logan. I like you”

“You do? So we have your approval then?”

“Approval? What do you mean?”

“It’s nothing, you know I slip out random words sometimes.”

Logan looks back at me and winks, this makes me giggle to Mason’s noticing.

“Ruby, everything okay? You’ve been acting a bit weird these past minutes.”

“Oh, I’m fine. I’m totally fine.”

“I just remembered something.”

Marcus who is a sucker for babies, sits next to Clara; admiring the baby and Layla stands next to me.

“Ruby; what was that?”

She whispers

“What was what?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, you… he kissed you at the door. I saw you.”

“Oh, that was…a form of greeting, we were exchanging greetings.”

“Oh?”

“I guess you wouldn’t mind if I went over and exchanged greetings with him then?”

“Nooo, please don’t do that; it’d make things weird.”

Layla was pressuring me, she was trying to get the truth out of me and I was trying not to break.

“Weird? Why would it be weird to greet a guest of the Reid household, I am like your sister after all.”

“Okay now you’re just being cruel”

“I’m walking over”

She walks towards alpha Logan as she smiles devilishly at me.

“Okay okay you caught me, something happened.”

“Ohhh, tell me the details?”

“They’ll hear us we can’t talk here.”

I whisper to her.

“Let’s go to your room then”

“Does it really have to be right now? Can’t this wait?”

“Nope, right now.”

“You’re such a bother”

I lament as she pushes me upstairs o my room. As we go up the stairs, I look down the railings and notice that Logan is stealing glances at me, when my eyes meet his; he smiles.

Layla pushes me into my room and shuts the door behind her.

“Start talking!”

“Talking? About what?”

“Are you still trying to play dumb with me? C’mon, let me in on all the juicy details.”

“You’re such a gossip.”

I sit on the bed and cross both my legs.

“So? Whatcha wanna know?”

“What was that between you and alpha Logan downstairs?”

“Oh, um..”

I laugh nervously, I feel embarrassed opening up to Layla

“We kissed the other day”

“He kissed you?! You sly devil.”

She giggled.

“Go on, go on. Was it the day we were at the mall. So he’s the reason you didn’t return any of my calls aye?”

She raises her brows and taps me continuously.

“Keep talking, please keep talking. I’m desperate to hear all of it.”

“You’re such a gossip.”

“I know I know, get talking. Why’s your face so red though?”

“My face is red?! Now I can’t go back down.”

“Keep talking….”

“Anyway, that wasn’t the day we kissed. It happened at the airport.”

“Airport? What were you doing over at the airport.”

“Ohh dear, I’ve said too much.”

She gets up from her sitting position and comes over to me, almost burying her face in mine.

“What were you doing over at the airport.”

“Oh, I had to…. I had to meet up with Logan.”

“You’re meeting up with him privately now huh?”

“Tell me, what’s going on between you and this guy.”

“I think I might like him”

“It’s pretty obvious, I already knew.”

“When?!”

“The first day you met him; that dance, and then the other day at the mall. I saw the way you looked at him.”

“I see, so it’s that obvious. Could you please keep this a secret? I don’t want my brother to know about us yet.”

“You’re a full grown adult, what could you possibly be so worried about?”

“It’s not about age, it just feels weird because he’s Mason’s associate.”

She laughs uncontrollably and throws herself on the bed.

“You’re so cute, you know. I just wish….”

“Ah, we weren’t expecting you. I understand that you’re a very busy person.”

The doorbell rings and we go down to receive the guests.

It turns out to be the devil, Layla’s older brother.

I stare at him sharply; disgusted.
