CHAPTER SEVEN

Logan sat waiting patiently for Ava. He had started to wonder if Ava got his message, after an hour, Ava came in through Andrew's direction to Logan's table. Logan stood up to hug her. He embraced her passionately, his big frame almost swallowing her body, she could swear he was looking more than sexy this night,
"have you been waiting for long" Ava asked as Logan dragged out a seat for her.
"No, I just got here too, I was busy at work" Logan said as he sat down " what do you care for" he asked as he beckoned on the waitress
"this is fine" she pointed at a meal on the menu
"same here" He said. Not long, the waitress brought the meal. Few minutes after their meal, Ava spoke,
" I know you are wondering why I called you here today Mr. Rodriguez, honestly I just want to apologize for ignoring your calls." She continued "I really hoped for another night with you. I really like you a lot " She ducked her head as she played with her hands under the table.
“So what do you want Miss Miller? " Logan asked with a stern face, studying her.
"I just want us to have good times, I understand you probably do not love me, but I love you Logan" She confessed, looking him straight in the eyes.
"Miss Miller I ....." Ava cuts Logan short quickly
“I know now this may seem sudden and unexpected to you,” Ava cuts in, “but I will give you time to think about it."
" I love you, Ava.” But, immediately, Logan wished he had never said those words, but he knew it was too late, Ava face was lit already, and he wished he had confronted her instead with the pictures of her kissing Liam, but his dumb self just said he loves her.
“Do you want to get out of here" Ava asked as she winked at Logan.
"Sure," He nodded in response as she stood up while he walked behind her into the dark night. Logan walked as fast as his legs could carry him, Ava sat very close to him inside the car, placing her head on his chest. Logan prayed quietly he got home early.
Few minutes later as they both entered the elevator to his penthouse, Ava grabbed Logan's lips immediately the door closed on them. The kiss was fierce and uncontrollable as they both pant for breathe. Ava was beginning to remove his tye while he went for her blouse, he managed to open the door as Ava closed it back with her back, giggling.
"I plan on taking care of you tonight Logan” she muffled, tossing his clothes away. She went for his belt, watching him as he bite lips out of pleasure. She pushed him to the bed, dragging down his trouser and pants in a hurry. Ava climbed on top him as she continued kissing him profusely while he reached for her bra strap and her skirt and finally her pant. “You’re beautiful, Ava” He to whispered to her ears as she moved slowly on top him. She licked his chest with her wet tongue. Logan was foundling and caressing her breast as she went lower between his thighs. She bent down over him and sucked him well as he racked his hands in her hair, then went slower then faster, sucking him while he jargons, until he came finally, splurging out his seed on her face. Knowing she was tired. Logan carried her to the bathtub where they both washed. She was tired, he wrapped her in a towel, and lifted her into room and laid her in bed. He heard her mumbled a goodnight, while he settled beside her, snuggling her as she hold him in a tight embrace.
***************
Ava woke up smiling, last night for her was something she did out of love and for the first time in a long time. She was smiling brightly at the empty space beside her.
"Do you smile to everyone that way," Logan came to her with a tray, handling her a cup of coffee, "and you are looking cute this morning," He said with a wink, smiling as he took his seat beside her.
"Now, you want me to start blushing, right?" she covered her hands with her palm.
“One of the staff member will be here soon, tell her whatever you need, I have ordered some clothes for you to change into too, I am leaving for work soon." He pecked her forehead, pushing the coffee table towards her.
"how long do you plan on retaining me here sir, I do not want coffee I want something else" She smiled seductively as she crawls on the bed towards him. She began to kiss him, passionately, again until his phone rang which he neglected at the first rang.
"you need to pick your call Logan" Ava said as she broke off the kiss. She watched him reluctantly picked the phone as he speak into the receiver.
"Hello Logan we need to talk, I am on my way to your office" Isabella spoke from the other end.
“I am almost at work, I will see you in a jiffy." Logan dropped the call.
"Is everything alright Logan " Ava asked, looking worried.
"it is business, nothing serious, I have to go now, I will see you later" he pecked her as he went out in a hurry. Ava picked her phone to call Andy immediately, “hello Andy, can we talk please?"
Ava pace round the room as she spoke to her friend
"I am very busy right now Ava but I will come see you as soon as possible" Andy said. Ava knew her friend was not happy with her, she avoided Andy's calls and messages since she discovered her pregnancy .
"I will come over then.”
“That's fine " Andy ended the call immediately. For the first time, Ava found Andy's attitude offensive but she just had to overlook it since she had no choice. She fell on the bed and slept off again after she had admired the urban look of the penthouse.
*
By noon, Ava was at Andy’s workplace, Andy came to the lobby to meet her and suggested they move somewhere private to talk. Andy wasn’t feeling her presence but he suggested they talk at the coffee shop across the street.
“the coffee shop is always quiet during the day, we could kill some time there” Andy said pointing to the shop.
"that's fine" Ava replied as they both walked out.
They placed their orders and immediately Andy poised the “is everything good” question to Ava. Ava stared into space.
“I know I have not been a good friend, I am very sorry Andy” Ava said this while rubbing Andy’s hands.
“I felt bad Ava, it was like you didn’t care. I had a whole pile of shit going on in my head and it hurt that I had no one to talk to, even you..." she kept quiet when the waiter brought the order.
Ava sipped from her coffee as she studied Andy who seemed pissed at her.
"I am pregnant Andy". Ava said with no pleasure unlike the last time she told her mum.
“quit playing with me" Andy said with a shocked face.
"how on God damn’s earth will I want to joke with something like this" Ava fired back at her friend.
“who is responsible for the pregnancy?” Andy asked.
"to be honest with you Andy, I don’t know. It doesn’t bother me again. I have started seeing Logan again". Ava responded before sipping from her coffee.
“are you listening to yourself right now Ava? How sure are you the baby belongs to Logan” Andy queried, waiting for a suitable response
“Andy I am not trying to make another man’s baby Logan’s. He does not even know I am pregnant. Letting Logan go is the last thing I want right now”. She paused then continued; “sometimes I feel like this baby is for Logan” Ava said with a teary eye.
“Ava, using a condom before hopping on that penis would have saved this mess. It’s not your fault; have you tried calling Liam?” Andy asked.
“Liam probably changed his number, I tried calling, I sent messages, none was replied. I doubt he even gets them". She held tightly to Andy’s hands.
“what can I do? I do not want to lose Logan” Ava asked while struggling to hold back her tears.
“I think you should tell Logan about this pregnancy, you wouldn’t want him finding out himself, you just might not be prepared for his action.” Andy said as she wiped tears off Ava's cheek with her handkerchief. “you have to be strong Ava" she added.
“I will open up to him next week. I want him to myself this week and I don’t want anything ruining the week.” Ava assured Andy who looked so worried.
