She surprises me with a smile.“Don’t you think that has to count forsomething?Especially if you just slept withhim.It means he still has feelings for youtoo.”
She holds my gaze and I consider this glaringly obvious fact that means Logan doesn’t hateme.
“I guessso.”
“So what if you uncomplicated the situation?Maybe you could put the past behindyou.”
She wouldn’t like to know how badly I’d want to do justthat.
“I wish Icould.”
“Then try.”
Logan
Iset my empty beer bottle down on the table.
No more beer, that one was my limit and I’m driving back tonight.
Much as I’d love to get wasted and relish in any distraction of what happened earlier with Quinn, I don’t want to be that guy tonight.
It’s been awhile since I drank myself into an oblivion of shit and I have a ton of work to do tomorrow.
I’m out with the guys sitting around in the sofa area of the V.I.P lounge at the Kat’s Tale.
We’re having one last meet up before Denver flies back to L.A to start the new training season.Usually, I’m the life of the party, tonight though I’m quietly contemplating what the hell I’m supposed to do about Quinn.
She’s not the woman you hook up with for a casual fuck or a one time thing.If she were I wouldn’t have any problems.But she’s Quinn Cambray and the one thing I know about her is all the rules change when it comes to her.
All my rules change.
I figured I need to be the level headed version of myself to figure things out.
To do that, I’d have to accept today might have been a mistake, and I don’t want to do that.Because doing that would mean I should leave her alone.
I don’t want to do that either, as evidenced by the panties I still have stuffed in my back pocket.
It’s just past eight and they are still there.
As I look at the people down on the dance floor having fun to the latest club mix, I know I stick out.I’ve barely said two words to anybody.Usually, I’m the life of these meetups, buttonightI don’t want to be here.
Tonight the place is brimming with the type of women my friends love, all dressed in their finest and looking to hook up for the night.
Ethan and Bryce both have women on their laps and a bottle of beer in their free hands.Denver has been regaling us with his football stories and of course because he’s the celeb everyone is hanging on to every word.He also has two women by his side that I’m sure he’ll be taking back to his hotel tonight.
The music is blaring on the dance floor but up here it’s turned down to a low volume so we can talk.
As Denver carries on talking, I plot out my escape.
I purposely sat in the corner so I could do just that.There’s a set of stairs next to me that I could slip down without anyone noticing.
I lose focus for a second then the sound of laughter snaps me back.
“Everything okay, Lieutenant?” Ethan calls over to me.“You are super quiet.”
I decide to come clean. “I think I’m gonna call it a night,” I say pushing to my feet.
“Oh come on Logan, seriously?” Bryce asks.
