The Nerd and I, One Last Time

CHAPTER 4: Lose Control

||CHAPTER 4: Lose Control ||

Logan

While I was in the shower, I lean against the wall as I think about last night. I groan in displeasure, "I need to be careful." I said to myself, as I ran my fingers through my wet hair. Then, out of frustration, I bite lip really hard. Thus, making my bottom lip bleed a little. I lick my bottom lip. "Seriously, I need to be careful or Tia will be in danger."

Last night, when Tia and I, were in the bedroom.

I really, really felt like kissing her.

I couldn't- No, more like I shouldn't.

Tia wasn't mine.

'Unfortunately.' I thought.

But, it wasn't the only reason I shouldn't kiss Tia.

The reason I shouldn't is that I was investigating Kate's car accident with Lucas, Lachlan, Josh and her younger brother Noah, who was living in our hometown.

Honestly, in the first and second year, nothing.

However, for the first time in two and a half years. About six months ago, there was a mysterious caller with information on Kate's death.

"Yes?" I ask when I hear a knock on the bathroom door.

"Logan, we need to leave," Lucas said.

"I'll be 10 minutes," I said.

After I step out of the shower, I wrap a white towel around my waist, before walking out of the bathroom. I walk to the walk-in closet and chose a black shirt, black skinny jeans with a pink cap.

'Whoever said a man can't wear pink wasn't good-looking.'

I step in front of the mirror, "I'm really handsome." I smirk.

Once I leave the bedroom, I go towards the kitchen, "Good morning." I said, stepping through the kitchen door. After I took a glass from the shelf, I took the bottle of water on the kitchen counter and pour myself a glass of water, "It's really quiet."

"Logan, it is eight in the morning and everyone was drinking last night," Lachlan said.

"True," I said, placing the glass on the kitchen counter.

"About the investigation, I-"

Immediately, I place my hand against Josh's mouth, "Seriously?" I glare at him. I took a step back, "We're in the house, we shouldn't be talking about Kate's death, nor should we talk about how we're investigating her accident because what we're doing, is illegal." I whisper, "You're a detective, Josh, what if someone is listening to our conversation. Next time, be more careful because if Captain Sullivan knows what we're doing, we're going to be in trouble like the last time."

"I'm sorry." Josh said, softly.

I sigh, "We'll have a meeting in our cabin."

"Wait, aren't you coming with us?" Lucas asked.

"I'll be there." I said.

Together with Lucas, Lachlan and Josh leave the kitchen.

I took ginger, the small lime bottle from the fridge and the bottle of honey, from the food cupboard. As I place the ingredients on the kitchen counter, I take the fresh ginger and start peeling it, before slicing it thinly. I take a medium cooking-pot and pour a cup of water, before turning on the gas. I groan, "I'm such a good person." I said when I place the ginger in the water. After 10 minutes, I turn off the gas and add 2 spoons of honey. Once I mix it together, I pour the ginger tea in a white cup. Hurriedly, I place the lime bottle in the fridge and the bottle of honey in the cupboard.
