"Yeah pretty much" Logan said so calm like it was the most normal conversation that you can possibly have with someone.
I am one of the peoples that was laid back and didn't say much to protest however when it come to this type of situations, I think I have the title to say something as this is my life at the end of the day.
"What if I don't what to marry you? I've known you for about 10 minutes and I'm apparently going to marry you in a month. But thank you for trying to look after me I can honestly say that I don't know why but I can look after myself I have done for 7 years"
I don't know where any of that came from I guess it is the confusion that gave me the confidence even though I'm not sure if I even believe me at the moment let alone getting Logan to believe me. All that I know is that I'm not going to give up so easily. who knows I might be alright by myself I'm sure that Sal could lend me some money and I just hitch hike to the next state stay there for a while until I get more money and just keep moving.
Logan can see that I'm planning basically the rest of my life in the space of 30 seconds and he just lets out a small chuckle then walked closer to me so that I can smell his aftershave
"You know deep down that you can't pull it off and at the moment I'm your best offer as I'm basically untouchable but you know if you can pull it off that's fine but when your father realises that you have left do you really think that he will not come after you?" he said in his voice that just drips with confidence and power.
"Why are you so untouchable? Is it because you are something with the mafia or whatever you said back there?" trying to get some more information out of him to really see what type of person he actually is or if I can trust him. I don't know if I can go from one abusive and terrifying person do someone who is in the bloody mafia and I'm guessing you can't be in the mafia without doing things that are not very nice.
I quickly looked around to see where exactly we were now, we have arrived in an underground parking lot and it was only us which made me more uneasy. If I want to run there's is no one to help me. Logan was now leaned up against his car which I might say looked very expensive I have no idea what make or brand it was.
"You really don't know who I am, do you?" I gave him a 'duh' looks, waiting for him to expand on the question.
"Well babe I'm Logan bates the mafia prince" when that sentence came out of his mouth I froze I am standing in front of the most dangerous person out there. I thought that my dad was the scariest person that I know but that's changed now as the Mafia prince is standing in front of me. I have heard stories about the mafia prince none of the nice or pleasant, I thought the most he might be low ranked which kind of makes what he does more acceptable.
Logan saw by the way that I reacted that I was a little bit more scared now than I was before. He got of the car and walked up to me and put his hands on my shoulders and looked me square in the eyes and said
"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you that's the last thing that I want to do I don't know why but there something in my head that saying that I need to protect you so when you dad came in I knew that he knew who I was so the only thing that I could think of in the moment was if you married me than he couldn't harm you anymore" He breathed in sharp he rambled so quickly but I got every single word that he said.
I don't know what to listen too, my head is saying not to trust him and just leave and figure out another plan later, or to listen to my heart that's saying to trust him and let him protect me. I looked into his pleading eyes and saw something else but he looked away before I could find out what it was. I know that I need to make a decisions on what do to and I know that my heart has never let me down so I'm going to go with that I just hope it doesn't fail me this time.
I gave him a nod, Logan put out his hand for me to take I hesitate for a moment he put my small hand in his and laced our fingers together, I felt butterfly's I don't know if it is that fact that I am toughing his hand of that I am anxious as hell right now.
I looked up to Logan and I think he felt it too has he looked down at me with the same facial expression that I had. We didn't say anything though we walked over to the passenger side of the car. I got into my side and waited for Logan to get into the driver seat. At this moment I have no idea what is going to happen and I haven't got any idea what I feeling right now.
We have been driving for 20 minutes and to fill the gaps of silence Logan kept asking weird questions I think it is to calm me down or distract me from the messed up situation. After another 10 minutes we got to the end of a busy road and then went onto gravel type path and there in front of me was the most amazing and beautiful house that I have ever seen I gasp a bit too loudly I have never seen a house this big in person, personally I believe any normal person would have at the same reaction that I had. Logan chuckle at my gasp which made me blush a bit.
We pulled up to the front of the house and I got out and just stood there Logan came round and stood next to me and whispered in my ear "I'm guessing by that cute face that you like your new home" you could hear the smile on his face all that I could do was smile.
