“Perfect,” I tell him and then saunter over and lay a kiss on him to remind him I am here waiting for him.
Before he has a chance to turn around, there is a knock at the door. When Logan opens it, Mason is standing there with a cup of coffee and a bagel in his hand.
The two exchange hellos and talk quietly about the day. Mason turns and makes his way to the breakfast bar and sits on a stool and begins to eat his bagel.
“Mason, thank you for doing this. I do appreciate it. I know that this whole thing has caused a lot of inconvenience for everyone.”
“Gia, we need to catch Susan in the act of something. She is trouble and always has been. I’m told that she has gone through Dom’s at the club like I change my underwear, when I wear them.” He smirks.
“I wish I had never hired her; she seemed so normal when I interviewed her.”
“You couldn’t have known. She obviously can’t keep her club life separate from her gym life. But we don’t want you to worry about her, okay?”
“I will stop worrying once she is arrested. I am going to take a shower, so I can feel human.”
After taking a long hot shower and putting on clean clothes, I feel like a new woman. When I head back to the kitchen, Mason is nowhere to be found. Should I be worried? My front door starts to open, and I hide behind the counter in the kitchen. Gee paranoid much.
“Gia, hey it’s Mason. I am sorry I disappeared. Logan called and asked me to get a few things from his apartment. I left his door open so I could make sure no one came up the steps or into your apartment.”
I stand up from behind the counter and smile. “Hey Mason, I was a little nervous when I came out of the shower and you were gone.”
“I know that you and Logan are going out to lunch. Do you want to head downstairs? He’s finishing up his bootcamp class.”
I put on my shoes, and we head downstairs. As we make our way into the main entrance, Logan strolls in and grabs my hand. We head out to the street, and make sure to show as much PDA as possible, knowing that Susan is skulking around somewhere.
Logan and I walk slowly to the deli down the street, and he orders a pastrami on rye, and I order a chef salad. I didn’t realize how hungry I was until I started eating my salad.
“Margot has a plan ready to rock as soon as you are up to it,” Logan tells me.
“The doctor said I could get back to my classes by next Monday. I am bummed that I missed my first training session with Maddie.”
“I talked with Maddie, and she said next Sunday will work out just fine. She is just going to go over how and when to act certain ways.”
“I am sure I can do that. I am really looking forward to going next Sunday.”
We walk back to the gym, and we see Susan and Marco at the front desk. They both look up as we walk in. Logan kisses me long and hard and then heads to his next session.
“Hey guys, anything going on today?” I ask.
“Not really. I am glad to see you are up and about,” Marco says.
Not wanting to be left out, Susan joins in, “Yes, so glad you are okay.”
“Thanks, and thanks again for taking on my classes, Susan. The doctor has cleared me to go back to the studio next Monday. Well, catch you guys later.” I then head to the stairs leading to my apartment. Blake sees me headed that way from across the room and joins me at the steps.
“Hey Gia, it is my turn to protect you?” He asks me in that low, sexy voice, so Susan and Marco don’t hear him. I can see why the ladies like him.
“Thanks, Blake, I appreciate it.” As we head upstairs, I know that Marco and Susan are watching. Good, they are falling for the routine.
The day drags on, Blake sitting on the couch watching a baseball game, and me surfing the web about my new lifestyle I have chosen. I then hit a website with outfits that I could wear at the club. I pick a couple out, hoping that Logan would like them. I decided I need a second opinion, so I ask Blake to come over and check them out.
Blake whistles, “Gia, Logan is going to love those two that you picked out, and if I don’t mind saying, you are going to look hot in those.”
“Thanks, Blake, I appreciate your help. There is beer in the fridge if you want one. I think they are Logan’s favorites.”
I decided that I am going to make Logan a nice dinner to thank him for everything he has done. I found out that one of his favorite meals is chicken piccata. Figures, mushrooms, ick. But anything for my man.
Logan comes in, and Blake gets up and walks over to him. They have a quick and quiet conversation and then Blake tells us both goodbye.
