Next One Is a Babe

“Alright, let’s eat,” Lola said, sounding slightly tired.

Logan joined her with a chuckle and took the initiative to serve her the food, which was already cold, but he didn’t seem to mind it one bit.

While eating, he said, “I’ll drop you off at work tomorrow morning. Is the usual timing okay?”

“Yeah,” she mumbled, and picked up her cutlery, but she didn’t touch her food at all.

At the moment, she had no appetite and wasn’t feeling hungry as well. All she felt was the frustration which had built up in her and a little urge to blow her top.

In contrast, Logan seemed very excited. Usually, he would have noticed it right away if she was this depressed, but not this day.

Babbling away happily, he asked her what she would like for the wedding and promised to fulfill all her requests.

Wedding? she sneered silently. That was something she didn’t even dare to think about now because she wasn’t even sure if there would be a wedding or not.

He went on to say that she should invite all her relatives and neighbors back home, so that all those people overwhelmed with jealousy could witness their happiness.

Furthermore, he had other houses under his name, and her parents could move in anytime they wanted.

A feeling of exhaustion stemming from her heart made her unable to listen to anything he said, and she slammed her fork on the table after taking a couple of bites while Logan was still chattering away happily.

Stunned, he gazed at her and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t like my suggestions? Then we’ll change the idea. Just tell me what you like. I’ll listen to everything you say.”

Lola stood up from her seat. “We’ll talk about this later. I don’t want to think about these things for now.” With that, she spun around and headed for her bedroom. “I’m tired. I’ll go to bed first.”

Ignoring Logan’s reaction, she entered her room and swung the door shut with a loud bang.

Sitting at the dining table, Logan was still dumbstruck. She was perfectly fine before taking an afternoon nap earlier, and when he traced down the chain of events, she sounded alright as well when she called him to come home for dinner.

So why does she seem so pissed now? he wondered. Is it because I didn’t come home early for dinner, and she became impatient waiting for me? Scratching his head, he couldn’t really figure out the situation.

In the meantime, Lola threw herself onto her bed and curled up under the sheets. She felt cold all over, and icy cold air was passing through her body. Compared to earlier, she had calmed down considerably, but her heart was still shuddering.
