Three days later
Airi POV
I wake up only to find Logan isn't in bed. I wake up everyday like this. I've had enough. I dress up and go on the balcony
"Alright. What did Mitchum say that it got you so mad?"
"It's nothing"he says not even looking at me
"Logan"
"It's just that I'm stressed ok? The dark lord and his wife are at it again"
"What did they do now?"
"They are always controlling me"
"Are you gonna tell me what they did exactly or am I supposed to read through lines?"
"Dad told me I'm moving to London when I graduate"
"What?!"
"That's the exact same way I reacted"
"It's ok, it's gonna be ok"I say putting a hand on his tensed back
"You don't get it! They always tried to rule my life. I feel like a puppet. They are pulling the stings and I have to follow"Logan says turning to me
"I don't get it?"
"Yes. You don't have to deal with all of this"
"Well Logan you're not the only one with mommy and daddy issues. They at least care enough to try and control you"
"What are you trying to say?"Logan says with a raised eyebrow
"My parents never cared. All they did was leave. They were never around. Not even in the same country as me. Mom and dad used the same excuse "out on business". All they cared about was for me to not ruin the family name. That means I was sent to all the society parties.
And the cherry on top is that if I didn't do all they asked of me, they would take away my freedom, which honestly wasn't much in the first place. They would move me from country to country, just so I was alone once again. Now they're back and are trying to get involved in my life. Why's that? I don't know!"
"Star I'm sorry"
"No, you don't have anything to be sorry for. I'm sorry that you think I don't understand. And I'm also sorry that Mitchum is trying to control you again. Right now I just need to take some air to calm down"I say leaving for the door
"Wait, does this mean we're breaking up?"he says in this soft voice and I turn around to see his eyes full of tears
"No.. Of course we're not breaking up"I say coming back to hug him
"Good. I wouldn't know what I'd do without you and your long speeches"he says laughing in my hair
"It cleared your mind didn't it?"I say laughing as well
"I'm now debating whether or not I should be concerned about you"
"I should be concerned about you"
""Let's be concerned about each other one at a time"
"Good idea. Let's start with you"I say
"I say we go on that walk as I explain what the deal is with me"

Outside
"Now explain"I say
"Mitchum said that I'm moving to London when I graduate. I don't want to move there. I have everyone I love here"
"Why is he making you move?"
"Because he wants me to take over the Europe part of the company"
"And for how long?"
"Around 5 years"
"5 years?! That's so much!"
"I know"
"You'll be 29 when when you'll come back to America"
"We might be able to negotiate with him for less"
"Still. I don't want long distance"
"Me neither Star"he says kissing me in a reassuring way
"My parents are here"I say all of a sudden
"What?"
"They're here. I can talk to them"
"That's what you think while we kiss?"Logan says laughing
"I'm trying to plan something"
"Illegal?"
"Not illegal"
"Bummer"
"What if I can move as well?"
"How?"
"We negotiate with both Mitchum and my dad"
"We get the dark lord to give me less years"
"And tell my parents that I'm moving to Europe to work at the firm there"
"God I love you"
"I'm very lovable"

The next day
Yesterday I called my parents to set lunch together and we'll get dinner with the Huntzbergers after.
"What do you think of this dress?"I ask Logan

"What do you think of this dress?"I ask Logan
