New Start (Logan Lerman)

Suspicious Minds

Emma's POV

I jumped out of my seat. "What?" I mouthed.

She stared at me and answered through the phone,"Okay... Yeah... Sure... Bye dad, love you too"

She hung up. Her expression was blank.

"Well?" I insisted for an answer.

"My dad wants to see me for brunch..." She said annoyed.

"And what's the problem?"

"You don't know my dad. He usually sends an invitation with someone else. When he calls it's either bad news or he's up to something."

"Well, don't think too very bad of your father. Maybe he wanted to see how you were–"

"That's nice of you to think that."

"Listen. I, too, had problems with my dad but at least yours aren't divorced." I placed my hand over her hands.

"Could we just not talk about it?"

She moved her hands away from mine. Seconds later her cellphone rang again.

"It's Dan" she said surprised. She answered and put it on speaker.

"Hey Ana"

"Hey Dan, how are you?"

"I'm fine but the real question is how are you?"

"Okay"

"Hmm I know that 'okay'. Your father already called you?"

"How did you know?"

"I'm heading out of your house, well your parents' house, in San Diego. Um. I overheard a conversation."

"It's bad isn't it? If it wasn't you wouldn't call..."

"I don't know, um. Kinda."

"Well then... Say it"

"I heard him talking to you inviting you for brunch, he told you he wanted you to meet someone."

"So?"

"Come on. It's your dad. Since when does he call, and to tell you he wants you to meet someone?"

"You're right. How could I not see that"

"I'm impressed, too... One other thing. Aaron asked me to arrange a flight from New York. I don't know why, he just wanted me to take the private jet. Just giving you a heads up"

"Thanks Dan"

"I don't get it" I interrupted the conversation.

"You're with someone?" Dan chuckled.

"Yes, um. Emma's here with me. I have you on speaker. I'm sorry I forgot to mention it"

"Oh no, it's okay. Hi Emma"

"Hello" I said fast, then I remembered that the only time I met him was when he forcibly kissed Ana when she was with Finn. It wasn't the typical 'first good impression' but I hope he grows on me.

Ana looked at me,"Well it doesn't seem like a big deal but, why would he call just to say he wanted me to meet someone and then Aaron mysteriously asks Daniel to make sure the jet is available for the day of the event."

Dan answered,"Does your mom and dad know you're with Logan?"

"No. The last one she knew about was Finn. Why?"

"Since he doesn't know you're with someone, maybe he wants to hook you up with the son or daughter of someone important." He said sarcastically and chuckled.

Ana laughed,"You haven't changed, you dick."

"Listen if it's the daughter of someone... maybe you can make space for someone else, like... me, perhaps?"

"Shut it. Well, you know my dad. He probably already knows about Logan." Ana said.

I was a bit confused. "I still don't get it. So, his plan is for you to meet someone."

Ana nodded and Dan continued

"James told you that it was a small family announcement, but the thing is that I was at your parents' house in Montecito a few days ago, and there's RSVP for 200 people."

"Now that I know about this I don't feel like going."

"No. No. You have to go. My parents are in town and I'm going with them. You have to come so I can be a third wheel with you and your boyfriend. Besides, I think the following can cheer you up..."

"Well... Spit it out Daniel!"

"The carterer they were booking was Jean-Georges, your favorite."

"Perhaps the only good news about all of this." 

"If what you say it's true, that your dad already knows you're with Logan then he wouldn't hook you up with someone." I suggested.

"Yeah. That's why it's so weird about the so-called 'small family announcement'." Dan said and Ana nodded.

It may take me a while to understand her family situation. I don't want to be more nosy. I headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat.

When I got back with a toast and Nutella, Ana already hung up. I walked towards the sofa when the door swung open.

Ana's POV

Logan and George arrived with two bottles of wine and a six-pack of beer.

"The beer is for you two..." George pointed at Emma and Logan.

"And these beautiful bottles of wine are for me..." He kissed them and raised the bottles up in the air

"Don't be such an ass, George... Give them to me" Emma yelled.

"Okay. Okay. But, no underage drinking... well in America, that's why I love the UK. Ana, go make yourself a chocolate milk..." George said laughing.

"I'll be 21 in five months... besides in Mexico you can, too, drink at the age of 18."

"Okay, well... I'll give you this bottle in 20 weeks."

After a six pack of beer and almost two bottles of wine, George and Emma left to their hotel suite.

"Oh, god. I've been missing you like crazy..." Logan grabbed me by the waist, started to kiss my neck and let out soft moans.

"Logan, there's something I need to tell you," I whispered.

His lips were buried in my collarbones,"Then let's talk about it in bed..." His voice was muffled.

"Seriously. Logan. It's important..."

He stared at me.

"I need you to do something for me..."
