Chapter 12 Denial
Ava's pov
After all the confrontations with my brother, we decided to go to the nearby restaurant. Me and Logan were unusually quiet, maybe it's because of Brian and Kate but I could feel the tension between us.
Kate kept yapping about her perfect little circle of friends and Brian was supporting her as always. The truth is I was never anyone's favorite in our family. My dad barely acknowledged me and my siblings avoided me like a plague. Brian and Kate have always been close unlike me… always on their own.
After we reached the restaurant, I sat beside Kate facing Logan while Kate was facing Brian. The waiter came to our table,he wore a white shirt dress and blue pants with an apron. He looked weirdly at me but I didn't let it get to me.
“Hello my name is Jake and welcome to souvenirs, what can I get you?" He said, looking between us.
Kate sighed " I'll have Italian sausage Bolognese and Brian will have crispy chicken wings”.
Jake nodded and turned to Logan " what about you guys?”
Logan turned to me" what will you have nerdy?”
" I'll have a pizza and coke” I said to the waiter and he nodded
"make it large, I'll have what she'll eat, thank you you can go”. Logan added.
Few minutes later Jake came with our meals, and I immediately started eating. I was so hungry all that yelling took so much energy from me. I was so busy stuffing pizza in my mouth when I looked at Kate,she was making a disgusting face at me, I turned to Jake he was making a way worse face than Kate. I set my pizza piece on the plate and stopped eating. I suddenly got nervous and conscious about my eating habits.
I've always been a big eater ever since I was little. My friends at school kept making fun of me for eating and after coming to Westbridge I learned to control myself from eating so much. I didn't want to look at Logan because I Know he must have a disgusting face like the rest of them.
“You know Logan, Ava has always had such a big appetite, and my dad kept calling her fat ass! Haha! Imagine being called a fat ass." Kate said snickering.
Brian chuckled and nudged Kate “ remember that time ,she was found eating inside the class, and the principal called her obese she cried all day!" .
That's it I had enough “ excuse me,I'm going for some air outside". I made my way out of the restaurant and I found a corner behind the restaurant. I slid down and brought my legs to my head. I didn't want to cry but the tears kept falling.
I knew having Brian and Kate here wasn't exactly a good decision. They never failed to make fun of me for eating so much,for my weight, that I had to stop myself from eating so much, forced myself to go on a diet and eventually fell into depression.
I heard someone footsteps coming in my direction, I raised my head and found Logan crouched down to stand me up. Before I could say anything I felt his hands around my waist putting my head on his chest.
“nerdy! Why did you leave? I was worried about you !” Logan said, breathing hard. I didn't say anything but I tightened my hands around him. Out of all people, he's the only one who makes me comfortable.
Logan exhaled " Ava I'm sorry but they shouldn't say that. Even if you have a bigger appetite it's totally normal you don't have to feel bad , they are just being bitchy!”.
I chuckle, somehow his little mini speech made me forget my worries for a moment.
" Is that a good way to tell me I'm fat, Logan?”
Logan shook his head, laughing his chest vibrating violently because of laughing. “No nerd! I'm not saying you're fat. You just have this really nice figure, if I was your boyfriend I wouldn't worry about where to touch you because you have these bigger hips" he slides his hands to my hips and tightened them. “And these are quite essential when we're having se…”
I put my hands on his mouth to stop him from saying anything further, he's so vulgar." Okay Logan, no need to say anything anymore. And unfortunately I'm not your girlfriend”. I winked at him.
Logan sighed”okay nerd! But there's still time for that, I'll surely get you sweetheart".
I felt my cheeks heat up, it's been a while since I blushed. I waved him off “we should probably return inside,they must be wondering where we are".
“Or maybe we should chase them away, or ditch them and go somewhere else. Take your pick sweetheart”. Logan said Crossing his arms.
I thought for a moment. I didn't want to go inside and confront them again. They'll continue to make fun of me and I certainly didn't want that.
" The later” I muttered.
Logan smiled at me " great Choice nerd! Then let's go what we are waiting for”.
We decided to ditch my brother and sister and go somewhere else. We got in Logan's truck and he took off immediately.
After a few minutes of silence in the car I decided to ask Logan.
“By the way,I wanted to ask where are you going? What are we going to do?"
Logan stretched his arm to my hair and stroked gently. “Relax nerd! You're going to have so much fun today. Just don't fall for me ,I can be charming you know!" He winked at me.
I felt blood rushing to my cheeks. “ In your dreams Mr popular" I played cool. I didn't want him to see me as easy or already falling for me which I wasn't.
I guess so?
Logan laughed, his deep voice echoed in the car igniting something in me. “Oh sweetheart,you don't know what's happen in my dreams,but I can tell you it involves both of us in my bed naked and having pretty good fuck”
I coughed loudly “please stay quiet! Are you always this blunt? Geez".
Logan smirked “chill out nerdy ,but I'm not always blunt it just happens when I'm with you,I guess I like to see you blush, you're cute".
I don't know why Everytime he says I'm cute,I feel like my breath is caught in my throat , he's making me feel something different.
I'm not falling for Logan. Am I ?
If I'm falling for Logan,then I'm fucked up!
