Attacked

Chapter 7

I did feel better but when I finally realized that he was only wearing athletic shorts my sense of calm vanished. I was surprised he couldn't hear my heart hammering in my chest, but maybe he'd just think it was from the nightmare. He tucked me under his arm and I laid my head on his chest. His heartbeat sounded really fast too. I must have scared him though. I was afraid to move. I was super stiff and knew there was no way I could go to sleep like that. I could feel every one of his hard muscles laying like that. His heartbeat started to slow and his breathing changed so he mustve fallen asleep. I couldn't help myself I lightly moved the hand that was on his chest and moved it down feeling his abs and exploring all of his muscles. They were so defined. His body was the complete opposite of mine. His was hard compared to my soft curves. I about had a heart attack when he rumbled, "Fia... you're making this really hard. I'm trying to be a good guy here but its really hard when you touch me like that." I yanked my hand away apologizing, "I'm so sorry I shouldn't have... I shouldnt be in here I'll go back I'll be fine I'm sorry. Someone like me definitely shouldnt be touching you. I'm sorry." He sat up and ran his hand through his hair, "What do you mean?" I rolled out of the bed and ran to the guest room locking the door. My ribs protested but I powered through and ran straight to the shower. Turning on the cold water and stepping in I gasped at the shock. I figured that should snap me out of it. I slowly adjusted the water to warm and stood under the spray berating myself. I should never touch someone like Logan. If he wasn't my brothers friend he never would've even talked to me. He's so far out of my league people would just laugh if I said I liked him. Plus I just swore off men why do I feel like this? When I got out of the shower I felt better but was exhausted. I looked over at the clock and saw 4:15 am. I flopped onto the bed and slipped into a restless sleep. I woke up to Logan yelling, "Fia! Jesus!" He slammed the door back closed and I looked down realizing I had literally walked out of the shower and fallen asleep in my towel but my towel was no longer around me. I got up slowly still sore. I brushed my hair into a ponytail and pulled on some leggings and a sweatshirt. I opted for fuzzy socks that I dont remember putting in my bag but am glad they were. I slowly walked out to the living room and found Logan in the kitchen. I slid onto a barstool, "I'm sorry." He didnt turn around, "No its my fault. I shouldnt have unlocked the door. You just didnt respond when I knocked and said your name so I wanted to make sure you were okay. Sorry I barged in." We both sat there in silence for a few minutes until he broke it, "Want some coffee?" I nodded and he filled me up a big mug, "You take it black right?" I nodded again and he slid me the cup. I savored the first sip and he smiled. I shot him a puzzled look and he chuckled, "You finally smiled. If I knew all it would take was coffee I would've made it a lot sooner." I felt my cheeks heating up. He filled his own mug and leaned on the counter across from me sipping his. After a minute or two he broke the silence again, "What did you mean last night? You know when you said someone like you?" I shook my head, "You know I meant. You have tons of girls throwing themselves at you and they are alot better than me. Plus I mean I'm just Trent's little sister. I'm sorry. I was weird last night I'll never touch you again. God I'm embarrassed! I've just never touched a guy before I dont know why I did that!" He reached across the counter and grabbed my hand stopping me from rambling, "Fia you are fine stop worrying so much. First, you are definitely not just Trent's little sister anymore. You are a beautiful woman." I didnt know what to say to that, but before I could respond he cleared his throat, "Want to go to Trent's and see Samantha? I'm sure she's going to want to see her Aunt Fia since she couldn't be with her mom or dad last night." I nodded and went back to brush my teeth and grab shoes. I went ahead and put a little more makeup on than I usually would so I covered the bruises up for the most part. I headed back out and found him waiting in jeans a button up and his square toe boots. He gave me his signature smirk and I blushed. God he was way out of my league. We walked out just as a tall blonde was coming up the steps. "Logan! Hey I couldn't get ahold of you so I stopped by. I think I left my swimsuit here the other night. Mind if I go get it?" She batted her eyelashes at him and rested her perfectly manicured hand on his chest. He seemed irritated and I wish I could've just disappeared. That must be his girlfriend and he didn't want her to misunderstand why I was there. She shot me a deadly glare when he walked back in the house. She bumped her shoulder with mine when she walked by and still being injured I tumbled backwards landing on my ass. She chuckled, "Pathetic."
