Chapter Twenty-Five

Maya slowly fluttered her eyes open. She took a look around with sleepy eyes before she realised it was still dark.

" It wasn't day break yet. I wonder what just happened that made my nose itch me. " she thought as she rubbed the tip of her nose again and that's when she realised that her leg has actually crossed the boundary. She quickly drew it back to her side and took a look at Logan, she sighed a sigh of relief when she realised that he was asleep. She gently put her head back on the pillow. She couldn't help but stare at his face. She stretched her hand and put it in front of his lips, like a microphone.

" Oh look at me, I'm Logan, everyone must obey me, blah blah blah. " she said in a whisper as she tried to mimic him talking. She laughed at her own stupid joke as she covered her hand with her mouth.

Afterwards, she gently drew closer till her face was just an inch away from his. She rose her head up and rested her body's upper weight on her left hands elbow. She saw herself sniffing his hair.

" Even his hair smells so good. " she said in a whisper mischievously to herself before she brought her other hand and touched his black hair, sort of strand by strand. She has to be careful before he wakes up. She brought her hands to his eyebrows.

" This eyebrows... this eyebrows that got me embarrassed. " she took a look at the time and saw that it was after one in the morning.

"... yesterday morning... you're lucky you still look so good but your owner is very mean... you can change him for me, can't you? Of course you can, I will leave it all in your hands.

What is wrong with me? Oh my goodness I'm talking to an eyebrow." she told herself in a whisper in realisation of what she was doing. She better stop now before she goes insane.

She softly swiped his eyebrows before she laid her head on the pillow still close to him so she can stare at his face. She doesn't have any answer right now, she just knows it feels good, it makes her smile just staring at his sleepy face and that was what she did before she sooner than later fell asleep.

Logan quietly opened his eyes after he didn't feel her movements anymore. Maya was really weird and today she just proved him right. He couldn't help but smile after remembering all she said and did.. From sniffing his hair and talking to his eyebrow. She could really suit a role for a funny heroine in a drama. He covered her properly with the duvet. He smiled as he stared at her sleepy face once more before he slowly fell asleep.

******"

It was day break already, Maya slowly raised her head as she opened her eyes and yawned. She scratched her head as she got down from the bed and headed to the bathroom. As she stretched her hand to the door knob but then the door opened and Logan stood in front of her already dressed up for work. He stared at her with her eyes a little bit wide open as if...as if he was surprised on seeing something.

" What? " she asked him grumpily as she furrowed her eyebrows. He just shook his head in a strange manner and walked past her and out of the room. She decide to ignore him and walk into the bathroom. She took out her brush from her toiletry bag and applied toothpaste on it, she stood in front of the mirror as she started brushing. Her eyes widened on seeing her reflection in the mirror. She can now see why Logan stared at her in that manner he did earlier. She was a total mess, from her hair downwards, every detail of her was a mess. It was so embarrassing that Logan saw her that way.

As she brushed her teeth, something immediately crossed her mind.

" Logan! " she shouted and spat out into the sink before running out of the bathroom with her tooth brush in her hand and without rinsing her mouth. She ran out of the room as fast as she could then down the hallway. When she was close to the stairs, she sighted Logan about to walk out of the door.

" Logan! Logan wait! " she called him before she started running down the stairs to meet him and thankfully he stopped then turned. By the time she got to him and stood in front of him, she was beginning to pant almost out of breath.

" Wa-wait... you.. you have to set something right before going. " she told him as she finally regained her strength. Logan just stood staring at her with his hands in his pockets. Same old and emotionless Logan.

" I.. I need you to tell the gateman to let me out of the house from now on. " she told him clearly. He turned his head to a security guard behind him that was holding his briefcase and signalled him with his hand. Before she knew it the gateman was there.

" From now on Evans, you will let her out... "

" Yeeees... " She said happily

"... only when she's seated in the car with the driver. "

" What? " she asked him in surprise but he just pretended as if she wasn't there and called another guy again.

" From now on... if she wants to go to anywhere then you will drive her there. If she refuses to use the car do not let her out of this compound without you driving her, understood? " he ordered.

" Yes sir. " both men chorused. He then turned to leave.

" Logan. " she called him as she quickly ran to his front and placed both of her hands on his chest to stop him from moving any further. She wasn't going to back down without a good fight. He looked down at her hands on his chest and then back to her, she got that look, she gave a fake smile and withdrew her hands.

" Logan... " she started as she tried to say something but then remembered they weren't alone.

".. Logan my dear husband maybe.. maybe you could reconsider your decision a little...right? My dear husband... sometimes I might need to do a little jogging around, exercises are good so please... please reconsider. " she begged him as she smoothed his suit with her hands. He took hold of both of her hands and put them down.

" Evans you can let her out when she wants to jog. " Logan told the gateman before leaving. " Thank you Mr husband. " she told him with a smile as she stood by the door and waved him goodbye even as he got into the car. She turned happily, she has pulled one over him. She put the brush into her mouth then noticed some of the maids were staring at her. She got it, she looked like a mess. She smiled to them before running upstairs.
