Next One Is a Babe

The visitor wasn’t standing within the area where he could be seen through the peephole. Pursing her lips, Lola could hear knocks on the door once again, which she finally responded to. “Who is it?”

Despite the lack of a reply, she figured only Logan would do such a thing, so she made her decision. “I won’t open the door unless you talk.”

Then, she heard a rather loud sigh outside before a voice came through. “It’s me. Open the door.”

The voice belonged to none other than Logan. She let out a harrumph before complaining, “No, I’m not gonna open the door. Why are you here anyway? Isn’t this getting a little annoying?” Lola wasn’t sure what he was up to, nor did she know why he would be so brazen and persistent.

Meanwhile, Logan gave the door another three hard knocks before he spoke. “We can talk inside after you open the door.”

“No.” Lola was also getting stubborn.

After a few moment’s pause, Logan warned, “Hmph. I will make a ruckus here if you don’t open the door.” As soon as he said so, he began wailing into the corridor. “Darling, please don’t be angry at me! I know now what I did wrong, so please forgive me! Open the door, darling! It’s cold outside, and I am hungry as I have yet to have dinner—”

Logan’s voice was really loud, which led Lola to believe that all of her neighbors would be able to hear the nonsense he spouted. No longer able to withstand his behavior, she opened the door before demanding, “Shut up!”

In a flash, he stuck his foot in the doorway as soon as the door cracked open. Later on, he pushed the door wide open before squeezing himself into the house. Giggling upon setting foot in Lola’s house, he seemed to have forgotten about the unpleasant incident back in Lola’s office that very afternoon. He took a peep at the kitchen before commenting, “You must be cooking. It happened so that I haven’t had dinner.”

With her spatula in hand, Lola tried her best to suppress the urge to murder him with it. Meanwhile, Logan turned to check up on her in confusion as she wasn’t reacting to his antics at all. “Why are you so silent?”

What should I be saying anyway? Lola thought to herself. I’ve had enough of you just by laying eyes on you. After taking two deep breaths, she left for the kitchen to make another dish as well as boil some soup before serving them on the table.

On the other hand, Logan was helpful enough to set up the table for her, and he even took a bowl for himself. Lola was planning to cook more so that she could have something to eat for breakfast next morning, but Logan’s visit thwarted her plans. She would probably have nothing left for breakfast now that he was here. A few bites into the meal, Logan nodded before giving praise. “Hm, this tastes good.”
