Ashlee POV
I woke up to my alarm going off, I notice that Logan’s arms were wrapped around me. I looked at him, still can’t believe he’s here. Confused what is exactly is going on between us, after last night. I got up, decided to jump in the shower to help my headache. I was in there only for 10 minutes because I needed to wake up Logan and get ready for work. When I came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me, I saw Logan sitting up in bed. He looks up at me,
“Good morning gorgeous,” he said to me smiling.
“Good morning,” walking over to a box, and pulling out one of my dresses to wear to work then grabbing my underwear and bra.
“ I need to stop at home to change, so hurry up so we’re aren’t late.” He said to me.
“Who died and make you the boss.” I said laughing at him.
“Uh, I don’t know how to tell you this, but I am your boss now, babe.” He said laughing back.
“Uh not til we are at the office, you aren’t my boss under this roof.” I said back to him, getting dress and going back into the bathroom to blow dry my hair. It took me about 25 minutes to get ready.
We were on our way to his place, not gonna lie, it was kinda awkward between us. I don’t see why. We arrived at his apartment, he lived about 10 minutes from work.
“You coming or just gonna stay in the car?” He asked,
“I’ll just wait here, hurry up.” I said as he got outta the car.
I do gotta say he’s kinda talking in a****** way, and I don’t like it. What the hell is going on?? He left his phone in the car, and it started to ring. I ignored it but it rang again. I just ignored his phone. Then a text message popped up from a girl named, Madison. I could read the message without unlocking his phone.
Madison: Hey baby! I don’t understand why your ignoring my messages and calls. You told me you weren’t mad at me, and you forgave me but yet I cant get ahold of you. :(
I was kind of confused, who the hell is Madison. I see him walking out of the building, so I turn the phone upside down, and just pretend I didn’t see anything. Even tho I want answers. He got into the car,
“We still have a few minutes, you wanna go get coffee, babe?” He asked.
I looked at him, trying to act normal. “Isn’t that my job to do that?” I asked
“Ok fine then you can pay,” he said.
We stopped at Starbucks down the road from work, we got our coffees, he didn’t let me pay, he said it’s his job to pay for me. We drove to work. He had meetings right away, so he was pretty busy. After a couple hours of being there, my work phone ran,
“Hello, this is Mr. Miller’s assistant, how can I help you?” I said.
“Hello yes I need to talk Logan, right now it’s important, patch me through.” The lady said, sounding pissed off and rude.
“I am sorry, he’s in a meeting right now, I can patching you through but you’ll get his voicemail, or I can take a message and give it to him which will probably quicker.” I said.
“Fine, tell him his girlfriend, Madison called and would like him to call her, ASAP! It’s important.” She said to me.
I was so confused, and honestly a little pissed off, “ Ok, I’ll give him the message, you have a great day.” I said hanging up the phone.
He has a girlfriend and everything he was saying to me yesterday, kissing me, and sleeping in my bed? What the f**k was that. I was debating on confronting him, but couldn’t decide to do it at work or not. A couple hours later, he went into office, and was in there by himself. I know he didn’t have another meeting for another hour, so I decided to take my chance. I grabbed the message for him, and walked to his office.
“Logan, I got a message for you, it’s seem super important.” I said.
“Thanks baby,” he said as he grabbed the piece of paper from me
On the note, it said, call your girlfriend, Madison back it’s important.
He looked up at me, pissed. I looked at him pissed.
“I’m gonna take my lunch break now, so I’ll be back in 30 minutes.” I said to him, rolling my eyes.
“Wait, Ashlee.” He got him hurried to the door and closed it. “Let me explain.”
“Explain what? You have a girlfriend.” I said
“I don’t have a girlfriend anymore. Please let me explain.”
“We broke up SIX MONTHS AGO, How long did you have this girl? Or did you have her while you were with me? I asked, angrily.
“I would never cheat on you, Ashlee..you know I don’t believe in cheating. I started dating her 3 months ago, when I had not heard from you in 3 months, I knew it was over.” He said holding my hand. “ we broke up right before I took this job, I found out she was cheating on me wit Justin. I told her I forgave her but I didn’t wanna be with her anymore. Since I said I forgave her, she think that means I wanted to be with her still. After that, as I was looking up job, I found this job, and I knew you lived closed. I knew I needed you back in my life.” He explained to me.
Justin was his best friend since they were in diapers, their moms, are like best friends. I can’t believe Justin would do that to him.
“I can’t believe Justin did that to you!!” I said to him.
“I know, please believe me that I ain’t with her anymore. I love you, Ashlee. Let’s go to lunch together please?” He asked.
I agreed. But we didn’t go get food, I wasn’t really hungry.
“So what are we? Cause I don’t know about you but I’m confused.” I asked him.
“I would like if you were mine again, if that’s what you want.” He said to me.
I sat there and thought about it.
“You deal with this Madison thing before we get back together. I don’t wanna deal with that drama.” I said to him, kinda annoyed.
“Ok, I’ll take care of it babe.” He said.
We drove around for 20 minutes and talked before heading back to work. It was the end of the day, and I was getting ready to leave.
“You wanna go get dinner or something?” He asked.
“No, I am waiting on Liam to pick me up. I gonna hang out with them tonight, since I ditched him.” I said.
Before he could say anything else, Liam walked of to me, and puts his arm around my shoulder.
“Hey beautiful, you ready to go?”
“Just about.” I said,
Just then Mark comes down the hall, and looks at Liam and I.
“Well son, your only 9 hours late for work.” He said to Liam.
“I had to take care of stuff. I’ll come in next week,” he said back to his dad.
Mark rolled his eyes, “Ashlee, talked to him do your thing.” He says to after walking away from us.
“Your dad is mr. Asher?” Logan asked Liam.
“Yup, try and pi** me off buddy, I’ll end you.” Liam said back to Logan.
“Guys stop” I said.
I said goodbye to Logan, gave him a hug before walking anyway from him.
“Can you please just be nice to him, Liam for me?” I asked as he open the passenger door for me.
“ I’ll think about it, babes.” He said closing it.
He walked over to the other side and got in the driver seat. We talked about random stuff until he finally asked me.
“Are you back with him, Ashlee?” He asked me.
“No, not yet. I don’t know it’s complicated.” I said back at him.
“Why do you do this to yourself? He’s not worth it, not worth you. You can do a lot better.” He said to me.
“I don’t really wanna talk about him right now, I rather just hang out with my best friend.” I said to him.
“Anything for you” he said.
We drove and talked, and joked. I love hanging with Liam, he always makes my day better. Same with Spencer.
