It seems I'm a little low on ideas at the moment so I ask for your patience while I put together ideas in my head and write them down.

I suppose I should also use this opportunity to ask for your continuous support by of course, your votes and comments to let me know your thoughts about either a specific chapter or the book as a whole cause I'd love that.

I am writing for us both after all and you guys are an important part of this so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

That will be all, thank you and I love you plenty ♥️

STAR'S POV

"Stop biting your nails" I hear Logan say just as she slaps my hand down from my mouth

"Sorry" I mumble, not taking my eyes away from the phone

"Why don't you just relax? Staring at the phone won't make them call any faster you know?" She says and I sigh

"Yeah I know but I'm really nervous" I say

"Come here" she says and I turn to her before shifting closer to her and it's not a second longer before she pulls me into her, her arm around me while my head laid rested against her shoulder

"Just calm down okay? I'm sure you'll get it" she says and I nod

"Thank you" I smile, relaxing into her arms

She's so nice sometimes, it makes me happy.

She feels warm.

She smells good too, really good.

"You smell really good" I say, raising my head a bit so I could look at her face

"I know" she says and I can't help but laugh

"A thank you would be more appropriate you know?"

"Thank you" she says

"Oh don't thank me, was just being honest" I tease and she chuckles "Logan?"

"Yeah?"

"Is it really okay that I'm staying here? It's not uncomfortable for you right?" I ask "I mean you're literally gaining nothing from this but you are providing me shelter, warmth and still feeding me, is it really okay?" I ask

"It is" she says only and I nod

"Okay" I say before returning my head to her shoulder properly, holding back a sigh

I feel terrible about this.

Maybe I should have just gone to stay with Kester?

"Besides, I'm still getting that expensive dinner right? I'm gaining that" she says and I look at her again "I also gained a friend, isn't that better than anything else you could give me?" She says and I can't help the smile that stretches across my face

"Thanks for saying that" I say

Really, she has no idea how good it feels to hear that from her.

Cause I don't want to stay here at her expense. She's lived alone for a while and I have absolutely no right to come make her uncomfortable in her own house but hearing that makes me feel a lot better

A lot.

"It's okay"

"Okay" I say with a smile, pressing a small kiss to her cheek before returning my head to her shoulder "You know it's the first time you're saying anything about us being friends" I say after some quiet

"Shh, don't ruin this" she says and I chuckle

"Okay" I say and it's not even a second later before the phone rings and I pull away so quickly from her and pick up the phone

"Hi..hi" I say in response to the greeting of the person on the other line "Really? Thank you, thank you so much" I say before hanging up

"I got it! I got it!" I yell, practically jumping into Logan's arms in a hug

"Yeah? I'm proud of you" she says with a smile, holding me back

"Really?"

"Really. You did good" she says

"Thank you. I'm so happy right now" I say, excitement practically coursing through me

"I can see that" she chuckles "How about I take you out to dinner tonight? We can have some good wine to celebrate" she says

"You don't have to do that" I say

"I want to" she says and I feel my heart practically melt at the sentiment behind her words and I can only stare at her in response "So how about it?" She asks

"Yeah...yeah, thank you" I say and she smiles

"Alright"

"I'll go call some people and tell them okay? My grandmother, Kester and others" I say and she nods, letting go of me

"You do that. I'll be in my room" she says before getting up from the couch and heading upstairs and I can't help but watch her, thinking about what she had said earlier.

The one time I wish she wouldn't call me a friend is when she does.

But in the end it's all we are and supposedly all that we are ever going to be cause even if she was offering more, I'd end up with a broken heart in the end.

Same with every other woman who comes here because she's Logan and she doesn't like the idea of relationships or being in love.

She practically hates romantic movies. Like it's not even about how the movie progresses, as long as it's a romance, she doesn't want it.

She obviously doesn't get along with love and I don't get along with casual flings which is all she's about.

But then she's so sweet and kind to me lately and it really just drives me crazy. I wish she would be mean again or something but she does things like this and just has me melting in her arms and drowning in those gorgeous eyes of hers.

It's so unfair.
