Chapter Twenty one

Logan just stared at her. She asked him again with her eyebrows raised.

"I don't like repeating myself and I definitely don't appreciate staying in the same room with you but we lied to the world... one mistake at home and the servants can spread the news all the way to the reporters ears so have your bathe and learn to control your mouth. " he told her calmly with his hands in his pockets.

After about five seconds of silence, she spoke.

" Wait.. do you mean.. you lied to the world? " she asked him and all he did was glare at her before he turned and walked out of the room.

" Well.. it's not like I was expecting an answer. " she has gotten a little bit used to Logan's snubbing character. She wanted to sit down on the bed but remembered she was still dirty. She had to take her bath but her luggage was downstairs. She turned to leave the room then two servants walked in with the luggage including Logan's. She thanked them with a smile and they couldn't avoid looking at her and wondering how she and Logan got so muddy, thinking of that made her smile, she slapped her forehead playfully before she bent to her bag to bring out fresh new clothes. She opened the door to the bathroom and was baffled at what she saw. She imagined the kind of architect that designed the house. The mansion must worth billions. She opened the tap at the head of the bathtub and slowly immersed her body into the warm water.

" Oh.. this feels good, I can't remember when last I felt this good in having a bathe. So much happened and taking a bathe now seems like the best thing ever. " she smiled to herself as she unknowingly remembered everything that happened between Logan and she from the day before yesterday till that moment. So many things they said to each other. They all sounded funny to her as she was thinking about it.

" Logan looked so cute playing in the mud today, who would have imagined that he had such a beautiful smile but he's always hiding it. I don't know, does he actually think smiling or being nice to people will make him look weak. I wonder if Logan was a bit nicer, loving and caring, and not the way he Is now, will there actually be a chance for us.. oh no! What am I saying? What am I thinking? me and Logan Jack? I don't think that is ever possible. Geeez! I think am getting myself all confused... the best thing I have to do is talk to Logan and ask him how far he intends on going with this charade of marriage. He needs to tell me what his future plans are because I don't think I can play a character of a ball to him anytime he wants.. Yes, that's the next step I need to take in other to save myself ". She got out of the bathtub after she was done bathing, with her white towel rapped around her body. She was about to take a step gently to avoid falling down on the slippery ground because of the foam soaps she had played with earlier. Some had managed to fall on the floor, melted and made the ground slippery. The door suddenly opened and Logan walked right in at the same time. In surprise and wide eyed she forgot the floor was slippery and tried to quickly walk away and hide but at the end while avoiding falling to the ground, she took several risky steps. At the last one, she slipped and ended up falling right into Logan's arms and in trying to grab on, she put her arms around his neck and surprisingly, he unknowingly put his hands on her waist. She stared at her with wide eye. On realization of what just happened, Logan tried to take a step backward but immediately slipped and before he knew it, they were both on the floor. While they were on the floor, Maya was on top of him. She felt her heart beat with fear. Her arms hurt from the floor but Logan, he must be the one who's really hurt. As Maya groaned in pain and raised her head trying to push her wet hair backwards, she noticed him. For the first time, she saw him squeeze his face in pain and discomfort. She just stayed there stupidly staring at him. His eyes finally looked into hers and they stared into each others eyes for almost a minute while still in the same position.

All of a sudden, he pushed Maya really hard off him that she fell on the other side and ended up scratching the back of her elbow. He immediately stood up without saying anything or taking a look at her. He quickly left the bathroom.

" Oh I'm sorry Maya, are you okay? here, let me help you. " she said sarcastically as she impersonated the action she expected Logan to have done.

She managed to finally get herself up to her feet. This is the reason why beautiful well tiled bathrooms cannot afford to have soapy water on the floor. She almost forgot that she has been wearing a towel all those while.

" Why the hell will Logan walk into the bathroom when he very well knows that I'm in there. " Maya ranted furiously. She walked out of the bathroom angrily after putting on a bathrobe instead. She came out and met Logan standing at the window. He looked like he was staring outside. He didn't look muddy anymore. It seems he quickly took his bathe and dressed in another room. She walked up to him.

" Why did you walk into the bathroom knowing very well that I was in there? " she asked him frustratingly.

He just turned to her, glared at her and tended to walk pass her but she got in his way instead with her hands both on her waist.

" I demand an explanation or at least an apology! " she told him directly to the face. He just put his hands in his pocket and stared at her. The way he looked at her was clearly showing that he was underestimating her because of her small stature and that annoyed her.

" Logan you saw something that you weren't supposed to see so you better apologise right now! " she warned him again but she still remained like that. Silent with no expression on his face.

" I didn't see anything that is worth seeing, so I can't apologise for that.. " he told her harshly which left her staring at him in surprise.

" Get out of my way! I have important work to attend to " he told her coldly as he pushed her aside with his right hand and she ended up falling on the bed. She suddenly felt dumbfounded. He went to the wardrobe, picked out his suit and left with it, maybe to change in another room.

" Why can't I say anything anymore? I was unknowingly hurt to know that he thought that way about seeing me.. gosh, it feels really stupid to be feeling this way but Logan was belittling me and it is slowly getting on me. Ever since I was young I've always had a petite look but decided to Sharpen my mouth to cover it up so that nobody will take advantage of me. Logan was obviously stronger than me and his really making me look little right now. " she talked to herself as she raised her knees up to her chest, rested her chin on it and rapped her arms around her legs. Slow tears trickled down her cheeks.

" I hate you Logan jack.. I hate you! "
