Bella:

Dark hazel eyes.

Rough hands.

A deep methodical voice that sent shivers down my spine.

He was... almost too good to be true.

I followed Logan to the driveway and watched him open the door to a sleek, black BMW. It was so shiny I could nearly see my reflection of myself in the paint. I couldn't help but blush as he held the passenger door open.

"Thanks," I mumbled before climbing into the all-leather passenger seat.

The interior was completely black, with all the newest technology. I intently watched Logan cross around to the driver's side of the car and sit in it.

I chewed roughly on the insides of my cheeks, trying to calm down.

His eyes glazed over to me and gave me a big grin. "Do you have any music you want to listen to?"

I couldn't help but smile at the comment. "Uhh no, I'm good with whatever." I nervously wiped my sweaty palms on my pants.

I watched his arm reach over to the car's device and he pressed a few buttons that led to the music being played. It was at a low volume of eighties classics. Without even realizing it, we were en route to my apartment.

Logan drove with such certainty, steering so smoothly on every turn. The comfortable silence grew as I watched out the window.

I was debating on whether or not I should start a conversation, but if I was being really honest... I really didn't know what to say to him. I was always the quiet, shy kid in my family so it's always been easy for me to hide in the shadows and act nonexistent. I was nearly twenty-three and never had a boyfriend, let alone a first date. Besides, Logan was just doing a nice gesture to Jason by driving me home.

A part of me knew that a man like Logan, with wealth and a face like that, didn't go for shy girls like me. At the end of the day, I was just a random girl who worked at the bookstore, while he was a CEO of a multimillion-dollar company. I was used to not being good enough, anyways.

I could faintly smell Logan's musky cologne, which was absolutely captivating. I glanced over at him, and his straight-cut jawline. I could tell he was in deep thought, with his eyebrows furrowed together. As if he could sense my eyes on him, he turned his head and Logan's eyes then locked with mine.

I quickly cleared my throat and gave him a shy smile. "If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?" I asked, yet I knew the minute I stepped foot in my apartment I'd be googling every detail about him.

"Why do I look old?" Logan responded with a warm smile.

I quickly shook my head no, "No I'm sorry that's not what I meant..." I stopped when I realized he was teasing me.

"I just turned twenty-six in August," Logan told me.

"Oh! Are you a Leo?" I rushed out, about to overanalyze this man with his zodiac sign.

"A who?" His eyebrows knitted together.

"Your star sign...like the dates you were born can say a lot about your personality and your traits," I explained. "When is your birthday?"

"August 13th," Logan replied.

"So you are a leo!! My dad was a leo too. That's really cool, you definitely seem like a leo. I'm actually a Pisces because my birthday is March 3rd." I told him.

"I'm still trying to figure out what all this means?" Logan laughed.

"Oh well..." I blushed, I wish I was able to stop rambling around him. "Since I'm a Pisces, I'm considered emotionally sensitive and that I'm intuitive... If I remember correctly, Leo's are really helpful and protective." I felt my whole face flush a deep red. When did it get so hot in this car?
