Happily Ever After (Completed)

Chapter 13

After Logan and I put everything away, we made our way to the dining room and I couldn't help put gaped at the place. The glass table was huge; ten people can sit on it. There was a chandelier at the ceiling and everything was just perfect.

"Hon, please put away all your paperwork, we have a guest." Lindsy said to Rick who was shuffling papers on the table.

"I am sorry, dear." He apologized glancing up at me as he organized the paper and put it back on the bag lying on the floor. "I didn't know we have a guest. Logan doesn't usually bring girls home." He chuckled causing Logan to glare at him.

"Dad!" Logan hissed making his dad laugh more.

"So what's your name, dear, and how do you know my son?" He asked as we took our seats. Rick was sitting at the edge of the table; Lindsy was sitting to his right side while Logan and I were sitting on his left side facing Lindsy.

All of us shot him a confuse look as he asked those questions. Seriously, did I change a lot?

"Hon, this is Bella. I can't believe you forgot about her." Lindsy said sounding a little astounded.

"Bella? As in our Bella?" Rick asked Lindsy then glanced at me. I quickly nodded at him as his eyes widened in surprise. "Well what are you waiting for? Come here and give me a hug!" He urged beckoning me towards him. I chuckled as we stood up from our seats and gave each other a hug. "You've change so much I didn't even recognized you."

"Yeah dad, that's the magic of puberty. We talked about this already." Logan commented bluntly, stabbing a carrot with his fork.

"Well, it's nice seeing you again. I missed you so much." Rick said ignoring Logan's comment. We sat back down to our seats and eat the Italian dishes that the maids started serving right after the salads.

"How have you been, Bella?" Rick started as he chewed on lasagna.

"Good, I guess." I shrugged not really know what to say.

"Oh hon," Lindsy suddenly barged in like she remembered something. "I almost forgot to ask you, is it okay if we sponsor a scholarship for Bella? After all, she's intelligent as Misty." She smiled at Rick urging him to say yes. Hearing my mother's name made tears well in my eyes. I missed her so much I wish she was here like the old times.

"Sure," He answered as I whipped my head back at them. "If that's going to make her happy then I'm in." Rick said grinning at me.

"Thank you so much Rick." I grinned back gratefully.

"What for? You are a part of the family after all. You always have, and you always will." Rick stated. I glanced at Logan and he just beamed at me and nodded.

"Sir, Princess Rosalie is here." One of the maid interrupted causing Logan to choke on his drink.

"She's here?" Logan exclaimed glaring at his father. "Why is she here? She never called me she was coming" Logan, Rick, and Lindsy all shared the same expression on their faces. It looked so similar you would think they planned to do it at the same time.

"I don't know." Rick shrugged as he stood up from his seat and made his way to the front door.

"Cindy, please add another plate for her. Thank you." Lindsy ordered one of the maids as she followed Rick to the front door.

Logan and I were left in the dining room looking at each other. I shot him a puzzled look and he just shrugged in response. Well talk about awkward. Princess Rosalie came in the dining room. Rosalie was beautiful; she had green eyes and blonde hair. She looked like one of those models you see in magazines that make you insecure because you're beauty is nothing near to hers.

"Hi." She greeted kissing Logan on the cheek making my insides boil, although I had no idea why. She also greeted Lindsy and Rick and looped her arm around Logan's. "Hello, I'm Rosalie."

"Bella. Nice to meet you, Princess Rosalie." I smiled politely.

"Oh, so you're Bella. And it's only Rosalie. No princess, please." She lightly giggled extending her hand to shake mine. I grabbed her hand gentle shaking it slowly.

"Okay." I replied.

"So, what are you doing here?" Logan asked. "I thought we're meeting tomorrow."

"Well, actually I need to talk to you. It's urgent. Is it okay if I borrow him for just a few minutes?" She questioned me. I didn't know why she was asking me.

"Sure?" I shrugged. It sounded more like a question than a response to me.

"Thanks." She grinned pulling Logan with her in the living room. Logan shot me an 'I'm-sorry' look and got dragged by Rosalie.

"Hey Bella, why don't you join us. I'm sure they won't take long." Lindsy offered gesturing me to sit.

"Okay." I nodded sitting to the seat I sat before. We talked and eat for about twenty minutes already and Logan and Rosalie were still not done. I looked at my wrist watch and it was nine o'clock already. I needed to get home soon or Sally will interrogate and lecture me.

"Uh, I think it's time for me to go. It's getting late." I announced standing up from my seat.

"Okay sweetie. Let me just ask one of the drivers to drive you." Lindsy said taking her phone out.

"Oh, it's okay Lindsy. I'll be fine; I'll just take the bus."

"Don't be silly. It's dark already; I don't want anything to happen to you."

"No, don't worry. It's okay, besides you're already sponsoring my scholarship, I don't want to abuse your generosity."

"Okay, well, maybe Logan can drive you." She suggested.

"I think he's busy. Don't worry about me, I'm good. I promise to give you a call when I get home." I assured them giving them both a hug.

"Okay, take care honey. Call us when you need anything okay." Rick said kissing my forehead which reminded me of the time when my dad used to do that to me.

"Okay. Bye." I waved at them making my way to the study hall to get my stuff. I passed the living room but Logan and Rosalie were no longer there. I took my bag and books and made my way to the front door.

"Going already Miss Bella?" George asked opening the door for me. I swear, that accent is just so damn cool.

"Yeah. Thanks George, see you tomorrow."

"Bye." He said shutting the door behind. I took a deep breath and started walking towards the gate when the rain started pouring again. Ugh! Why now?!

*Logan Lacosco*

"Listen Logan, all I'm trying to say is you have to stop seeing her. At least try avoiding her. You know how risky this is. Please Logan, think before you do!" Rosalie shouted to me in the calmest way. We decided to go to my room because it was too public to stay in the living room. I didn't want anyone to hear us especially Bella.

"I know what I'm doing Rosalie. You don't have to tell me what to do." I hissed making my way to the porch attached to my bedroom. I needed fresh air, fast. I just felt suffocated in my room, I felt like the walls were closing in on me.

"If I don't tell you what to do everything will be ruin. Logan, we are trying to save lives here, not lose them!" She yelled grabbing me by the shoulder to face her.

"Just trust me Rosalie."

"Trust you?! Logan, you're not only putting Tristan's life in danger, you're also putting Bella's. Didn't you ever think of that?!" She spat at me. As the words started to sink in my head, I came to a realization that she was right. I was putting Bella's life in danger and I don't want anything to happen to her. I love her too much to get her involve in this.

"Now are you ready to listen to me?" Rosalie asked with a calmer voice than before. I nodded my head in response and let her explain our plan. She continued to tell me what I was supposed to do but all I could think about was Bella and how I was going to protect her. I can't put her life in danger. I really can't.
