Chapter 4
1143 Words
The next morning Logan, woke up extra early. Why? Maybe because he couldn't sleep with the fact that all he saw in his dreams were wild curls and big brown eyes with gold freckles crying for her father. At one point in the night he had gotten up from his bed, tiptoed out of his from down the hall upstairs to the room the mother and daughter were occupying to make sure it was all a dream. And thank God, it was all in his head.
His early rising was thanks to his days in the army, but now it had to do with the fact that he has two new responsibilities. Deciding to hit his home gym situated downstairs at the end of the hall, equipped with expensive gym equipment to match his equally rich taste. He threw on some running shorts and a muscle tank, with his latest Nike running shoes and was trying to quietly go down without waking the women but the minute the door of Heather opened up showing a fresh faced Heather, he knew he was far from quiet.
“Good morning Logan”. She whispered and gently closed her door. Logan, let his gaze wash over her.
Obviously she had showered cause she smelled like spring, with a wild varieties of fresh blossoming flowers clad in a simple royal blue bodycon shirt and slides.
“Morning. Was hoping to not wake you and Jade up”. She shook her head walking ahead of him.
He knew she was sexy, but he didn't expect her to be this sexy. Her a*s was huge and her thighs thick, he'd never really paid attention to a thick woman before. And her hair, were in natural cornrows that lined her back, her face was bare of makeup her exhaustion clear as day, but she was still a beautiful woman.
“I didn't really sleep at all and I gave up and decided to help Dolores around the house”. Heather, said but Logan, was too transfixed by her body to pay attention to what she was saying.
“What would you like for breakfast?”. They were at the floor level of his house now, and that was when he finally broke out if his revere.
Logan, cleared his throat, mentally warning his d**k to be still. “Dolores, wouldn't be pleased about this”.
Heather, smiled solemnly. “Im not really one to sit around and let other's take the reins of her life or things around her”.
He nodded his head in understanding. “We’re not trying to take the reins of your life I can assure you that”.
She winced when she saw the look of doubt and uncertainty in his eyes, here was this man trying helping she and her daughter and she was acting like a b***h because she wasn't going to have to do nothing. But it wasn't like her to sit around and let an older when to do things she could do when she was more than capable.
“Im sorry I sounded like an absolute b***h, I guess I'll just have to talk to Dolores, about helping her”. She smiled, a genuine one.
And Logan, smiled back. “I understand you're trying to adjust to your new leaving situation”.
“I'm going to hit the gym for a few hours okay?”. She nodded and he was out of her sight like that.

The door bell sounded in the house and Dolores, turned to look at Logan who was engrossed with the eating competition going on between him and Jade, that he didn't really hear the bell.
“Don't you dare munchkin!”. He said in a playful warning tone to Jade, who smiled mischievously, sweetly back at him, as he walked to the door forfeiting their contest.
Logan, looked at the home security monitor manted on the wall in his foyer, seeing James at the gate. He pressed the code for his gate before opening his front door walking to meet the man.
“Didn't think you'd be able to keep to the promise”. Logan, said not masking his surprise.
James Armstrong, chuckled. If he couldn't keep this promise to his granddaughter, he knew Heather, was going to kill him. Well, she wouldn't kill him, just cut him off and act like he didn't exist. He had offered his home to her, he wife and kids knew about her, but she'd rather stay in Seattle where their lives were at stake, than leave with James and his family.
He's her father, but wasn't really her father.
The minute they walked into the kitchen, Jade squealed and ran into her grandfathers open arms giving him a big, wet kiss on his cheeks, rapidly conversing with him. Logan, let his eyes wander to the island, Dolores had a cooing face while Heather's, looked like she wanted to shoot someone.
She gently pushed her breakfast away, walking towards the stairs to probably to her room. James, noticed her leaving from the corner of his eyes and he sighed walking to the island and enjoying breakfast with his granddaughter and Dolores while Logan, trudged up the stairs.
Her room door was opened and he walked in. He didn't know why he did, but he just needed to make sure she was okay. The door to the terrace was opened and he saw her leaning against over glass railings.
“Are you okay?”. He didn't get a response and he took it as a sign that she wanted to be alone and was already making his way out.
“I'm guessing he told you I'm his daughter. His bastard seed, and that doing this probably meant he was getting back to my good graces”. She let out a humorless laugh.
Logan, didn't answer, cause it really wasn't a question but mostly she just needed a ear.
“You I was willing to risk my daughter's life, than call the man who fathered me for help, but after they went to her school the day after the flakes death I knew he was my only option. My mom's all the way in Netherlands and I don't want to risk her life”.
“Having me owe him something is more than enough seeing him everyday is just too much, but Jade loves him and I can't help but be cordial with him for her sake and it's killing me inside, cause he's just a sperm donor”. Tears were spilling down her cheeks and Logan closed the distance pulling her into his chest, holding her tightly, letting her tears soak his shirt.
