My Hidden Destiny

Chapter 7

“16 Candles would be great but if..”

“Ace, you’re my guest, so you should decide”, he interrupted her with a gentle voice and tucked a brown strand of hair which slipped out of her messy bun, behind her ear.

“Ok, Sixteen candles!” she said as she smiled batting her eyelashes at him.

“This is nice, babe” she sighed. cuddling with Logan while eating junk food and watching movies is the best that it gets and with all her might she wished that she could live in this moment because right now at this moment it didn't feel as if life could get any better.

“Yeah, it is nice... Although I am a little nervous about the Gala tomorrow night. I am just glad you will be there with me. There will be a lot of important people such as business investors.” Logan said.

“I know you will do great. You will also have your family there supporting you.” she tried to comfort him knowing he was a little nervous. “Although I am worried about one thing.”

“Oh yeah? What's that?”

“They say that the Hayden heiress is going to be there and by word of mouth she is gorgeous and single. I already lost you once, I don't want anyone else turning your head.” Rory said with a sly smile.

“Your right, that is a problem. Maybe if you stay next to me all night I won't have to worry about her getting handsy. They do say that I am one of the top 10 eligible bachelors in California right now and who knows… this heiress might be just what I need for a fun romp around.”

“I guess so... How about we put in The Godfather?” Trying to change the subject even though they were joking about it, she all of a sudden felt awkward and desperately wanted to start the movie.

“Definitely, Marlon Brando played his role to beat all other roles.” Logan told her.

“It is a classic, I’ll give you that .” she told him as she stood up and walked to the DVD player to put in then walked back and sat down tucking her legs under her, laying her head on Logan's shoulder.

“Thanks Ace.  what is your all time favorite movie besides:  Legally Blonde, 16 Candles, and of course, Willy Wonka?!”

“You know…. Besides Willy Wonka being my absolute favorite,the second favorite would be Casablanca. I mean I like the others but there is just no comparison.” she said dreamily.

“Oh, of course, Casablanca. Yeah, I think that movie is more a girl’s movie but I like Humphrey Bogart in Angels with Dirty Faces too. Have you ever seen that movie?”

“No I haven't seen that one.”

“Whatttt…. for shame!!!! How could you have missed that one? You have to watch it with me. The movie is fully action packed and thrilling but it’s good”, he winked at her.

Halfway through the second movie Rory was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. “I didn't realize it was this late. I don't think I am used to the time change yet.” she stifled a yawn as she looked at her watch.

“I guess we should go to bed then.” he suggested, as he grabbed the remote control and turned down the TV.

“Ok Logan, I'm sorry I am getting tired on you, but this jet lag has worn me down.” she stood up and stretched out her stiff muscles. “ I am just going to change into my pajamas” she told him grabbing some short shorts and her Yale t-shirt before walking into the bathroom.

Once they were tucked in, Logan began to speak in a low voice and pulled Rory into his arms. The smell of her hair and the feel of her skin was enough to drive any man crazy. Realizing how fast she fell asleep he couldn't help but smile as he played with the strand of hair laying on her face. Her hair was a beautiful reddish brown and it always smelled like her special shampoo. Nobody would ever be able to replicate that scent, yet it was ingrained in his mind for all eternity. Studying her features and thanking his lucky stars that she was with him he couldn't help but pour his heart out to her. All his fears all of his hopes. If she were awake he knew that it would scare her off but he needed to just say it it loud.
