Four or Dead

Chapter 25

Emma... Present...

Thad expected the garage to be more run down since it was managed by four high school students, but it turned out to be the opposite. The garage looked professional in every sense of the word and it was decked out in everything a mechanic would need in this line of work.

Logan wrapped his arm around me as I examined one of the cars that had it's top opened displaying an intense amount of shiny metal. "So what do you think baby?"

I blushed at the pet name just like every other time and Logan smiled just like always. He knew what he was doing but I admit I kind of loved the way it sounded. It made me feel like I was his and I liked that feeling. Leo and I had a past but his rejection was a hard thing to move past and still have that same level of familiarity intact.
