Chapter 23

"...or do I need to conclude that you're an obsessed jerk?"

"Call it obsessed but I'm just passionate about getting to k ow who I'm dealing with, works in the corporate world"

Logan grinned and bent over on the couch, his grey eyes studying her face. "My turn...Now, can we talk about yesterday...?"

"Yesterday's better left unsaid" Her eyes flashed.

"You sure? Because I'm the one who almost had my balls squashed"

He mumbled, seeing hints of pink on her cheeks then looked into the plate which was filled with predominantly chocolate chip cookies, Keira got the impression too and they sat up quickly.

"Sam no!"

Sam winced, she was sitting on the floor with a box of cookies in front of Harry, she held up a cookie

"It's plain"

Harry bit on it and she smiled with delight letting him have it.

***

The clock struck 9, with his coat splayed on the couch, he stretched out with Harry behind him resting on his side while he flicked through the channel.

He munched on an apple watching the weather report.

"Don't you think it's time to go home?"

Logan heard her warm but dry voice on the other side of the snug room, he gave her pink pajamas and robe one good look and shifted on the couch, it was too short to contain his length.

"I don't think Harry's ready to leave yet" He groaned, cozy behind the Christmas tree.

"Oh really?" Her voice took on sarcasm and Harry whined.

Indifferently, he kept flicking till he settled for a hockey game on ESPN, it was their last season for the year.

Keira was upset about how he was changing the channels frequently and so freely, she didn't need another remote hogger in the house.

She lightened up when she saw a green monster with a Christmas hat. The movie just started.

"Oh wait, go back" She flapped in excitement crawling to the spot in front of him to crouch, hands-on knees.

He grunted and switched back to the hockey game

"Aww_what? Gimme that!" she snatched the tote.

Mumbling to himself 

"This is my house and you're lucky I didn't kick you out, hit the lights" 

He groaned in protest and swung his long legs, Keira frowned pushing them over her head and focused intently on the screen, she hissed when he crossed over after killing the lights, temporarily obstructing her view, he stretched out his sore legs in front of him on the floor to watch.

It was 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' but to him, it was just Jim Carrey impersonating a character from Dr. Seus. He grimaced at their strange noses and visual effects that was out of date. 

The darkness caressed them in the snug room as they watched, from the lights on the television he could see her grinning.

"I feel like a kid again" 

"Cookie?" He teased holding out the bowl of leftover cookies.

She scoffed "Thanks," She said snatching a handful.

Logan spat out hair when Harry swished his tail whipping him in the face, he was fixated on the Grinch's poochy companion in the movie, he howled.

"Shh" He cautioned Harry.

He sat through as it jerked a few giggles from Keira.

The movie was over, Keira reached in and winced at the coolness of the empty plate. She scoffed at Logan snoring with his head on the edge of the couch...
