Chapter 97

**Logan**

Walking into the kitchen I see my uncle looking through his phone. He looks up from it at me and a small smirk plays on his lips.

"Does she not want to go out now?" he asks. I frown at him and walk towards the fridge "It will be like that again and again when you move here so you may as well-" I cut him off.

"Please shut up," I snap, "please just go home and leave me alone."

"I can't, I'm sorry, but I will go home and see you very soon, don't forget the company ball next week," he says and I nod while moving my head into my hands as I sit down. I move my hands through my hair and undo my tie. I feel hands move around my shoulders and over my chest.

"What's wrong?" Megan asks me.

Nothing, I'm just thinking," I say and turn to look at her. She moves in front of me and wraps her arms around my neck and rests her head on my collar bone. I move my hands around her waist and kiss her forehead

making her look up at me.

"C'mon lets put a movie on," she says and takes one of my hands and pulls me up onto my feet. I follow her into the living room and shut the double doors behind me.

\---

I wake suddenly. I feel across the bed to feel Megan not there. Getting up out of bed I look at the clock to see 5:36am staring back at me. I stand and walk out of my bedroom to look for her. Walking into the kitchen I see her sat at the breakfast bar with a cup in her hand. She looks at me and then away.

"Hey," I say walking towards her. I take the cup out of her hands and give it small sniff. She rolls her eyes at me "Just wanted to make sure," I say.

"Yeah because I'm the one in this relationship that shouldn't be trusted," she says getting up. I sigh dismissing her comment, I'm that used to her taking her anger out on me whenever she had a nightmare that I just now let her comments go in one ear and out the other.

"What was your nightmare about?" I ask.

"I didn't have a nightmare," she says "just because I'm up early doesn't mean I've had a nightmare," she snaps at me.

"Well what then?" I ask.

"Your phone rang and I answered it,"

"Ok then," I say slowly not knowing where she's going with this.

"It was a girl that you apparently met the other night," she says and I frown "She said she was up for meeting you tonight if you're interested, she then insisted to me that you don't have a girlfriend even though I told her about five times that you do,"

"What girl?" I ask.

"I don't know her name, she rang you on the samsung phone I didn't know you have," she says nodding her head to the phone. I take it and look down at it. "She did text you a few times first," she adds and walks away from me.

"Megan I don't know who she is and anyway I didn't meet any girl,"

"You went to a strip club,"

I look at her and she's got her back to me. I stand and walk towards her, "I don't know who this girl is or how she got this number," I say.

"Why do you even have that phone?" she asks.

"My uncle gave it to me yesterday," and as I say that it clicks in my mind. "Oh he's good," I say shaking my head. "Trust me on this when I say that this," I wave the phone "has nothing to do with me, it's my uncle,"

"Yeah right," she says

"Watch," I say and send the girl a text back texting her I can't wait to meet her and asking her what she's wearing. I then go to the phone settings and set it up to divert all texts and calls to my uncles number. "Do you really think I've cheated on you?" I ask her. She shrugs, I move my arms around her and pull her close to me. "What did I promise you?" I ask.

"That you wouldn't do it again, but it's hard to not think it when I've not seen you in the past few days and that phone and then this girl and also the fact I met one of the many girls you've slept with," she says.

"So you've been up since god knows worrying yourself over this?" I ask, she nods in response.

"The only reason I'm still here is because Yasmin told me to wait until you got up to let you explain," she says causing me to frown "I was going to leave before you got up,"

"And go where?"

"To a hotel until I could get a flight back," she answers.

"Come on let's go back to bed," I say taking her hand in mine.

"I'm not tired," she says and moves out of my hands. I then hear my phone go off. I walk into the living room to see my iphone vibrating on the coffee table. She walks in behind me and sits on the couch. I pick up my phone and answering it with the 'speaker' button.

"Hello,"

"How dare you forward that tarts calls to my phone, do you have any idea what you could have done?" My uncle blares down the phone.

"You deserve it, you owe Megan an apology," I say looking at Megan to see her look at my phone in confusion.

"It was a joke I thought you'd find it funny," he says.

"Have you given that number out to anyone else?"

"A few other desirable ladies that I thought might tickle your fancy," he says "or rather," I cut him off by ending the call. I look at Megan to see her looking down at her lap.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"I don't understand, why is he trying to break us up?" She asks looking up at me. I sit down next to her and take her hand in mine.

"It's got nothing to do with you,"

"Great so the only family member of yours that knows about our relationship wants to break us up and you're telling me it's got nothing to do with me?" she snaps.

"I know you're angry but just let me explain," I say looking at her. She sighs and looks at me "I was told by my psychologist not to get into a serious relationship for at least two years," I explain. "And he thinks I won't stay like this for long, he thinks that I'm going to revert to my old ways again at some point and he doesn't want that," I explain.

"Ok," she says quietly. "So what does this mean?" she asks.

"Nothing, why would what he thinks mean anything to our relationship?" I ask. She shrugs, I move a piece of hair from her face and "It means nothing," I say and kiss her on the lips. She pulls away and takes my hand in hers.

"Lets go back to bed then," she says, I stand up and allow her to lead the way.

"You shouldn't look at me like that when telling me to go to bed with you," I say "it can cause my mind to wonder,"

"Sorry," she says as we walk into our room. I climb into bed and wait for her. She looks at me as she walks round the bed and climbs in. "What are we doing today?" she asks.

"I don't know, seen as you said I could spend as much money as I like it's left me dumbfounded on what to do there's too many options," I say frowning. She gets in next to me and I move my arms around her. "I was thinking of spending the day with you in London but then Paris came to my head," I state.

"Paris," she says almost surprised.

"Yeah why not?" I ask. She looks at me and then looks down "It's not like I can't afford taking you to Paris for the day, we could have breakfast there if we set off in the next two hours," I state. I pause "we could even spend the night there and be back tomorrow morning," I say.

"Ok," she says with a small smile and leans in to kiss me. She pulls away and lays her head on my chest. She moves her hand into mine, I stroke my thumb over the back of her hand and intertwine me fingers with hers. "I lied when I said I woke because of your phone," she says.

"I know, I left both of them down stairs so unless you have supersonic hearing I knew you were lying," I say. "What was your nightmare about?" I ask.

"Same as always," she pauses and I feel her kiss my chest.

"Are you going to tell me?" I ask.

"No," she says and sits up. "It was more of a memory and I'd rather not talk about it," she says.

"Ok, I understand," I say. She smiles a little and then looks down and I can tell she only smiled for my benefit. I move my hand up to her and stroke her cheek.

"I'm going to get a shower," she says turning away from me and getting out of the bed. I watch her walk into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. The door locks and I sigh deeply. I hate feeling useless to her. I know the reason why she won't tell me and it's because she knows I can't do anything about her nightmares.

Getting out of bed I walk downstairs to arrange our travel to Paris. I need to get us good for once.
