Chapter 14

I went down to the kitchen to eat.  When I reached the kitchen, there were foods ready on the table, so I immediately took a plate to eat.
I was just enjoying the meal when someone came into the kitchen.
"Good morning!" Logan greets me.
"Morning" I said sparingly and went back to eating.  He took a plate and I was surprised when he sit next to me.
"W-wait, why are you sitting here?"  I said in a panic.
"I told you that we need to be this close to anything that we'd do" he replied and put the food on his plate.
I just kept quiet because I couldn't do anything but my heart was pounding with nervousness.
"Have you taken the medicine I gave you?" The silence in the kitchen broke when he spoke again.
"I'm not going to start yet" I said.
He nodded and continued eating.
No one wanted to break the silence until we had finished eating. I was about to go up to my room when he spoke.
"I'll just wait in the garden" he said.
"And why do you have to wait for me there?" Raised an eyebrow, I said.
"Exercise. Remember?" He said, then smirk.
I rolled my eyes and let go a deep sigh.
"Okay! I'll just take a shower" I said and was about to walk when he spoke again.
"Can I join you?" he playfully said.
My nose smoked because of what he said.
"Pervert!" I answered angrily to him.
"That's part of our exercise too" he laughed.
"Oh! You're a doctor, right?!"  I asked and he nodded.
"Could you treat yourself if you break a bone?" I sarcastically asked, and he lost his smirk and fake-coughing over and over again.
"Just kidding!" He said and looked at me.
I gave him a death glare and walked again.
"Jerk!" I whispered and opened the bedroom and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
****************
I'm here in the garden and Logan is next to me now.
"How do you feel now? You already took the medicine, didn't you?"  He asked.
"I'm still nervous today, but not like yesterday" I answered his question.
He nodded and read the book again. Yes, he reads again and so do I.
I returned myself to reading, but my eyes caught sight of his hand always wearing a watch.
"You really always wear a watch, right? Even if you're just at home" I said while looking at his right wrist.
He looked at his hand and then adjusted the wear of the watch.
"Yeah! I'm used to wearing a watch" he replied.
He had a different tone when he said that. He seemed to have special memories of wearing a watch.
"You. What really happened to you why are you afraid of men?" He asked which gave me mixed emotions.
"I can't really say it now, Logan. It's hard for me to remember that, and there are also memories that I had to erased to Doctor Sanchez" I said.
He frowned at what I said.
"Erased?"  he asked.
"Yes"
"Temporary or permanent?"
"Temporary"
"It's good that it's only temporary" he said in relief.
"I just drank a laxative so I could sleep well."  I said sadly.
"I don't know, but there's a part of me that I want to forget for the rest of my life that happened to me, but there's also a part of me that doesn't."  I continued speaking.
"Not all the bad things that happened to us have to be forgotten. You can turn them into bad memories that motivate you to be brave" he said seriously.
I took a deep breath before speaking.
"I hope it will be my motivation someday"
"Think positive, Vianne." He said.
I just smiled at him and went back to reading.
After we talked in the garden we baked for a snack.
******************
It's been a week since Logan became my personal doctor and I can say that he's a "good doctor" because I feel like I'm slowly getting better.
"What are you cooking?"  I asked as I arrived in the kitchen.
"Steak" he simply said.
"Oh! It smells nice!" I said and he laughed.
"Looks like you're hungry already?" He ask laughing.
I nodded so he laughed again.
"Hurry up there! I've been hungry for a while" I jokingly ordered him.
"Yes, Madame" he said and focused again on cooking.
A few days passed and Logan and I became close to each other.  We bonded and I no longer panic when we touch.
So I can say he is a good Doctor.
"HAHAHA Logan, stop!"  I laughed and shouted at him because he was throwing water at me.
We're here in the swimming pool now, and he has been doing this to me before.
"Wait, I'm hungry" I said.
He laughed and swam to the stairs so I followed him. He went up first and held out his hand to me so that I could go up as well.
We walked over to a table near the swimming pool where Hilda had brought a snack for us.
When we arrived, we immediately sat down. I grabbed cookies and started eating.
I looked at logan who was looking at me.
"Why are you looking at me?"  I asked.
He smiled and shook his head. My forehead furrowed because of his gesture.
"You're cute when you're hungry" he said and laughed.
I glared at him "Eat up!"
"Okay" he replied and held my hand. I was surprised when he pulled my hand holding cookies and bit into it.
I pulled my hand back.
"Tsk! You have a hand, take yours" I said annoyed but he just laughed.
I stared at him and picked up my phone on the table.
I just scrolled through social media while eating. Logan took another bite of my cookies but I just let him.
We were silent for a few minutes because he was reading and I was using the phone.
I took a cookie and immediately bit it but I was surprised when Logan and I both bit into those cookies and I could feel his lips on mine.
My heart was pounding immediately and I didn't know if it was because of nervousness or because I was falling in love with him.
"Ma'am, here--"
We were immediately separated when Hilda arrived. I looked at him awkwardly and he looked at me the same way.
"O-Oh! What are you going to say, Hilda?" I asked a few questions and saw Hilda's strange smile so I immediately looked at her.
"Madame Criselda is here" said Hilda.
I was immediately happy to hear that from Hilda.
"Where's mom now?"
"She went straight to the beach, ma'am. Just wandering around for a while" Hilda said.
I nodded, so Hilda left immediately.
Silence filled us as Hilda left. I immediately stood up and was about to walk when someone took my hand.
"I'm sorry" Logan said.
"It's okay! You didn't mean that" I said and then let out a deep breath.
"Are you mad?" He asked, and let go of my hand.
"No" I said sparingly and he looked at me for a long time and I was surprised at myself because I was able to hold his gaze on me.
When he saw that I was serious about what I was saying, he nodded and smiled.
"I'll take a bath first" I said and awkwardly smiled at him. I immediately walked into the house.
Dumb-founded, I walked over and stopped in the kitchen and got some water. I immediately drank the water and touched my chest because of the strength of its pulse.
I was caught on my lips and the application of his lips to mine immediately flashed in my brain. The warm and soft I felt before.
I immediately shook and quickly entered the room and immediately took a shower.
***************
I was just downstairs when I heard Logan and Mom laugheding. When I entered the kitchen, I saw them eating cookies that Logan and I had also eaten earlier.
"Mom!" I happily called her and immediately kissed her cheek.
"Sweetie, I missed you!" Mom said after I kissed her.
"It has been a while since you visited me here, mom, and you rarely text me. Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened, sweetie. I'm just really busy because of our company. The amount I take care of" smiling mom said.
I looked at her face and I could see her deep eyebags.
"Don't go hungry, mom, and don't stay up all night"
Mom laughed softly and looked at me.
"You're like my mom. I will, sweetie. You should also take care of yourself."
I nodded and smiled at her.
"Logan, the last time I called you said, Vianne doesn't panic anymore, right?"  Mom asked Logan.
I looked at Logan and he looked at me, too. I immediately averted my eyes from him, and looked at mom.
"Yes, mom. Actually, she's getting better, but there are memories coming back to her, and panicking her and that's what we working out today" Logan said to my mom.
Mom nodded and looked at me.
"It's good that you're close to recovery, Vianne. I'm so sorry about Dra. Sanchez. I didn't know she was going to do that that it took you so long to recover"
"It's okay, mom! What's important is, I'll be well soon" I said with a smile.
Mom smiled and took a deep breath before speaking.
"It's a good news that you're about to get well, sweetie, but I have bad news too." Mom said and looked at Logan.
I frowned because of what mom said.
"Your marriage will be postponed because we need to focus on the company. Simon said, we will take care of it now first while someone is still interested." Mom said, and took another deep breath.
"Is it okay with you two?" Mom asked.
It was as if I felt some regret for what mom said, but I immediately removed it from my mind and answered mom.
"Yes, it's okay with me, mom" I replied and smiled.
"It's okay with me, too" Logan replied and I looked at him. I immediately looked away when I saw that he also looked at me.
"Sorry, sweetie, Logan, but that's what Simon told us"
"It's okay, mom. Uncle Simon explained to me about that yesterday and I agreed with it" Logan said.
I also nodded "Yeah! I agree, too"
"I disagree" mom said.
I looked at mom when she said that.
"I really want you to get married as soon as possible, so I can have a grandchild"
My eyes widened at what mom said.
"Mom!"
I heard Logan laughed so I looked at him badly. He immediately stopped laughing.
"Just kidding, sweetie" smiling mom said.
I shook my head and then bowed shyly. I looked up and saw mom looking back at Logan and me.
"What?" I said annoyed and mom laughed softly.
"I heard it from Hilda that you two have became close. Does it mean you're already sleeping in the same room?"
"Mom!"
"What? I'm just asking?!"
"No, mom, we still sleep in different rooms" Logan replied to mom.
"Oh I see"
I bowed again in shame.
"I'll just stay here until tomorrow. I still have a lot to do with the company because Brick is going on vacation next week" said mom.
"Vacation?" Logan asked.
"Yes. So I was so busy last week and now because we have so much to do. Good thing Brick is there to help me"
"Oh! Is the company okay, mom? Do you need help?"  Logan asked.
"No, it's okay. Brick and I can handle that. He works fast and it's all easy for him. He's so smart" mom said happily.
"Yeah! I agree that's why he's the one I handle in the company" Logan said.
We just talked until nightfall and we immediately ate.
We just talked in the kitchen while eating then we immediately went to her room.
I looked at my phone to see what time it was.
12:40 am.
"Arrgh! It's already midnight and I still can't sleep" I said annoyed while hiding my face on the pillow.
I changed my position for a few minutes to sleep but it didn't really have any effect.
I stared blankly at the ceiling. I can't sleep because I think about what happened earlier.
I touched my lips and I felt again the warmth of his lips on my lips. It was like a broken plaque that kept coming into my mind.
"Weird. Why does it seem so familiar to me-- Ughh! Vianne, go to sleep!"
I said to myself and immediately covered the pillow on my face.
