Next One Is a Babe

Lola chuckled. They hailed a ride to the nearest mall after breakfast, and Ian called Logan on the way. He said he’d arrive that afternoon, and Logan was invited to a little reunion. After a pause, Logan asked, “Did you tell Sophia about this?” Ian said no, but he’d do that after the call. Then Logan said, “Lynett’s having her birthday tonight, so I’ll be going to the mansion. Why don’t you come along? I’ll call Sophia and John over, and we’ll meet at the mansion. Since you’re a big star now, my sisters want your autograph.”

On the other end, Ian smiled, but he said nothing. Since Lynett would be having her birthday party that night, Logan would be celebrating it at the mansion, so asking him out for a reunion would be impossible. Seeing that Ian didn’t reply, Logan continued, “Oh, just come. You’ve met my whole family, so no need to be shy, and I want to introduce my girlfriend to you.”

At the side, Lola smiled sheepishly.

Ian thought about his offer before he said, “Sure. I’ll call you when I get there.”

They hung up after that. Putting away his phone, Logan held Lola’s hand with both of his. Love was in the details, everyone said. Lola had an eye for detail thanks to her days as a police officer, and she compared her days with Logan to her days with Shawn. She wasn’t sure if he loved her that deeply, but at least he cared about her. At the thought of this, Lola held his hand back and leaned on his shoulder.

Then they went shopping for clothes. Lola had never dressed up this seriously before, and Logan spared no expense in this department. In the mall, he bought every single clothing he thought suited her well, much to her shock, and she quickly held his arm. “Hey, stop this. It’s scary how you spend money.”

Her sentiment was not shared by Logan. He was used to spending big money thanks to his family, and buying everything he liked was the norm. Still, Lola held his arm tightly. “This is just unnecessary extravagance, and it’s no way to live life. You have to think further ahead. No matter how rich you are, you’re not supposed to spend so recklessly. Be smart about money.”
