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. I forgave him but things were just different now. On the other hand, I was drawn to Logan so strongly that I was happy to just be around him. (") Leo also expressed a continued aura of guilt that still caused a barrier between us. He was sweet and affectionate but he was still holding back. It was like he was finding who he was again when he didn't have to pretend to hate me. I understood that and I was glad to have Logan to distract me from any confusing feelings Leo caused in me.

I looked to him, curious to know what that kind of work entailed. "Like what?"

He dropped his arm from around me and scratched his neck nervously. "Pretty much any requests a person may have. Bulletproof windows, speakers, lights, hydraulics, hidden storage compartment:

His explanation trailed off but I had a pretty good idea what he meant now. I had been learning more about the boys based on some overheard conversations and comments here and there. I knew they weren't saints when I asked for their help but I only knew what they were into based on rumors like most people. Rumors that could possibly have been exaggerated.

I didn't want to assume the worst of them but I also didn't want to hope either. I had already accepted that once our deal was done that I would have to leave them and it would be too dangerous for them if I knew everything they did. It was better for all of us for me to remain ignorant of their activities that didn't involve my vendetta. (*

"That sounds pretty cool," I replied simply and returned my attention to the nearby car.

I reached out and ran my fingers along the beautiful dragon artwork along its side. "Who did this?" I asked. Chapter 25

ran my fingers gently over the piece and Logan shuttered under my touch. He was becoming more sensitive to my every touch lately and I hated that the reason why was because I asked for time. I knew guys like him were used to getting what they needed from any girl but I was holding back. Even though I would hate to see Logan with another girl, I wanted to let him know that he didn't have to wait for me, They called me their gir! but that didn't mean they were bound to me in a way that made me their girlfriend.
