Next One Is a Babe

---

Lola got up fairly early, and she was already waiting for Logan’s arrival when he tapped on the door. As soon as he put his hands down, the door opened to reveal that Lola was standing on the other side of it. Not only was she well-dressed, but there was a shy look on her face that she had a hard time concealing.

When he was knocking on the door, Logan’s heart was racing, but he calmed down after he saw Lola. Caressing her head, he asked, “Were you waiting for me?”

Lola spat before replying, “I was waiting for my breakfast.” Swiftly, she snatched the food away from him before turning to sit down on the table.

Smiling, Logan walked over to the dining table after changing out of his shoes. They ate in silence without mentioning what happened last night. However, Logan could see her chapped lips whenever he looked at Lola. The corners of his mouth were also cracked, as the kiss last night was executed so poorly that it hurt both of them. Nonetheless, it still felt amazing whenever he recalled the kiss.

After breakfast, Logan held Lola’s bag before the both of them left the house together. While nothing was particularly different from before, as they used to leave the house together, their mentality had shifted. At this moment, even standing in the elevator in silence felt like utter bliss.

Lola began working upon arriving at the gym, whereas Logan hung around feeling like a boss, which felt good. Or rather, it felt even better compared to when he was hanging around in his clubhouse.

There weren’t a lot of people early in the morning, so Lola was in fact just sitting in her office most of the time as she wasn’t that busy. She was only there as someone needed to be in charge of the premises.

On the other hand, Logan returned to the office as he was feeling bored after spending some time loitering about. As soon as he entered the office, they met each other’s gaze, to which Lola responded with a smile, and Logan could feel himself melting over it. Although it wasn’t his first time seeing her smile, he never felt so tempted by it.

Closing the door behind him, he walked up to her slowly. Meanwhile, Lola was sitting in her chair with her face cupped between her palms while staring at him. Despite having used to abhor him, the sight of him was now as pleasing as could be, which was something that Lola had no explanation for.

Logan navigated around the office table to stand beside her, while she turned to stare at him in silence. In the beginning, Logan placed his hand on top of her head to caress her, but gradually, he moved to rest his palm on her face before dipping down. Upon moving closer to each other, they could now see the wound on each other’s lips.
