Teach Me

~7~

It's been three days since I kissed Alec. Logan didn't find out about him being there with me at the shop. After a few hours of me convincing him that we did finish early and I wanted coffee, he let it go. Logan is very domineering and it scares me. I always have to tell him where I am going, who I'm going to see, and if anyone is picking me up. Lily keeps telling me that it isn't worth it to keep seeing him. If only she knew the truth. Alec and I have been communicating through notes. We have a list of people to give the notes to that will give it to the other person. If Logan finds out what I am doing, he will kill Alec.

" Baby, you aren't listening to me." Logan says getting my attention.

" I'm sorry. I'm thinking about that Math test we have next week."

" It's only Sunday Luna and your test is on Thursday. You'll do fine."

" Yeah. Anyways, what were you saying?" I ask.

" I want you to come meet my parents tomorrow night. Come over for dinner and then you and I could study for the Science quiz."

" Sure, we could do that."

" We'll be in my room because my parents have company coming over for business." he tells me making me uncomfortable.

" I have to get going."

" Why? Who are you going to see?"

" No one. I have to get my school stuff ready." I tell him.

" Let me come help."

" I would rather it be a surprise."

" Oh, are you planning something good for me tomorrow night?"

" Yes, a whole lot of studying. Bring your textbook home."

I walk away from Logan leaving him mad. I know that's not what he wanted to hear, but he will just have to get over it. I'm not falling into his trap. I will hurt him if he tries anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today has not been a good day at all. Logan embarrassed me in front of all my friends and other people by telling me he couldn't wait for our "special" night tonight. I don't know why he wants me so badly, but I'm going to have to deal with this until I can find a way out.

" Honey, you should head over to the Smith's house." my mother tells me.

" Okay."

I gather my Science materials and head over to Logan's house. I've seen him parents, but I haven't met them yet. This makes me very nervous. I knock on the door and wait for someone to answer it.

" Hello. Welcome." a older man says as he opens the door.

" Hi."

" Come on in. Logan, your girlfriend is here."

" Hey Luna." Logan says in a very nice manner.

" Hello."

" Did you bring everything to study?"

" I did."

" Great. Let me take these upstairs." he says taking my books from me.

" Please, come sit." a woman says to me.

I go and sit on the couch with Logan's parents in chairs. It's really awkward and I don't know if I should start a conversation or not.

" So, you and our Logan go to the same school?"

" Yes ma'am." I reply.

" How did you two meet?"

" We met in our Science class. He is a good student in our class."

" He's very smart. Harvard is hoping that he'll come study there next year." Logan's father tells me.

" Oh, wow."

" What colleges are you looking to go to?"

" Stanford or Harvard." I tell them both.

" You are a good student too?" his mother asks.

" The smartest in our grade." Logan answers for me. " I've seen her grades. I wish I could do whatever she does."

" All you have to do is apply yourself son."

" I know sir."

We all sit there looking at each other. Logan takes my hand in his and we sit back on the couch. Logan's mother excuses herself to go check dinner and his father reads the paper.

" Thank you for being good in front of my parents." Logan whispers in my ear in a way he's never talked to me before.

" No problem."

" Dinner is ready." his mother tells us.

We all go into the dining room and sit. Before we serve ourselves, we say grace. I do not understand how Logan can be so mean at school and an angel at home. I wish I could understand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I am so sorry about my parents. They will do anything to embarrass me in front of people."

" It's okay. I thought those stories were really cute."

" Well, you could please keep those stories to yourself?" he asks as he pulls me closer to him.

" I can."

Logan places one hand on the side of my face and looks into my eyes. I never noticed how brown his eyes were until now. They aren't too dark nor are they too light.

" Luna, have you ever known someone who could be so mean yet be so soft?" he questions getting closer to me.

" No."

" Could I show you?"

I am baffled by his questions and go to ask him what he means. I do not get it out fast enough and he kisses me. The kiss is so sweet and soft. I know I shouldn't be kissing him, but he keeps kissing me.

" Luna, I do really like you." he says.

" Logan, why are you like this?"

" What do you mean love?"

" You act like the biggest jerk at school and right now you're being the sweetest guy that could ever be on Earth." I tell him.

" Let me tell you a story. In this story, I lost someone I really cared about. My sister. She lost her life to a big jerk because he killed her in cold blood. He didn't care about her at all and he always pushed her around and hurt her. I promised her one day that I would never do that to any girl and you come along and you make me feel a way I never felt before. I ask you to give me a chance and you turn me down. I'm sorry I hurt you that night. I hate myself for it. I want to show you all the love you deserve. Please, let me show you how I really am."

" One condition."

" Anything."

" You need to back off of me. When I tell you I'm doing something I am doing what I say." I say to him.

" Of course. I really care about you."

Damn. The bad guy really has the feels for me.
