The Flowering Evolution

Logan didn't really care about the legal part of society - what was his, is his no matter what anyone said. He was simply doing this for her.

He had gone through the wars of conflict with his brother simply to keep their bond. Now, he was doing something similar again for his Gabriella. He'd seen the news like everyone else and their thoughts about mutants - he knew without a doubt that his girl was going to start an up roar with for filling her desires.

CHAPTER ONE

When someone saves your life, you become best friends with them and after that it is most likely you'll start to have relationship with them. Well, that's what happened to me.

August 29, 2010

I locked up my car after a full day's work in the office and walked into the bar across the road- I was looking for some 'me' time to sit back and relax, forget about the troubles of life and work. It just so happen that my friends were there and their company only spiced up the Friday night, we took our seats in one of the booths and starting the rounds of drinks as per usual our mouths became loose with words.

I could feel the buzz running through my system and I pushed the last drink away knowing that I needed to quit drinking. I ran a hand through my black waist hair and felt the pickle of eyes on my back out the corner of my eye I could see a guy seating not too far away in his own booth, his eyes flickering the length of me that gave away his actions as he didn't bother hiding the fact that he was checking me out- the action in itself gave me the shivers and the spark of anger that he was simply only looking at my appearance and nothing else about me. Chloe seem to notice the attention and brought up the most dreaded conversation. "You need a guy." Chloe's statement in itself poked at the anger inside of me- I hated to think that women had the thought that they need a man in their life to be complete and I told her exactly my thoughts on the subject.

"I don't need one." With the choice of subject, I automatically went to pick up my drink again before thinking better of it as the pounding behind my eyes increased.

"You'll get one." Chloe said winking. I rolled my eyes knowing that she was directing the comment at my hour glass figure. My eyes caught sight of the hands on my watch that clearly stated I had been in the bar for way to long as the small hand was reaching the number one, morning was already upon her.

After saying the goodbyes to the girls at the bar, I made my way outside and breathed in the fresh air to help bring awareness to my state of mind. As I continued towards my car, I almost missed the shift of movement in the corner of my sight of the guys lazily leaning against the outside of the bar. The sight in itself brought a violent shiver through me, making my steps slightly faster as I past them only to hear their sloppy footsteps behind me. "Hey baby, where you going?" His words were slurred but his body weight assisted him in his next actions. He slammed me up against the wall making the air rush from my lungs, leaving me gasping for air as I felt the pinch of his hands on my bare legs that weren't covered by the skirt. His finger nails once again dug into my skin as he put his hand on my neck and started choking me to stop the screams that so desperately wanted to escape. "You and I are going to have some fun tonight." He said, the smell of alcohol flooding my senses.

I heard the slight sound of a powerful growl. At first I didn't know which attacker to be scared of until the guy dropped his hand leaving my gasping for air. Suddenly I saw the guy get punched down and fall to the ground limp as the impact of the other man knocked him out. The other guy was a muscular built with dark brown hair and was fairly tall. I was still quite unsure about the situation and his appearance didn't really assure me with his rough features. "You alright?" His tone was filled with concern with a voice that matched his rugged appearance but all together with his words and concern it eased my fuzzed mind.

"Yeah I'm fine." I tried to keep calm as the realization what could have happen if this man hadn't stepped in.

"I'm Logan by the way." He said smiling settling the emotional storm within me.

"I'm Gabriella Cortez." I held out my hand though it was shaking he didn't comment but simply grasped in his own with the smile still touching his lips.

"Are you right to get home?" I didn't respond straight away at his question and Logan suggested something else. "I can walk you to your car if you like?" I nodded my head feeling some relief at not been left in the car park by myself.

The walk to the car was short with his long strides matching my shorter ones, the sound of his footsteps had the complete different effect on me as it was reassuring to have another by my side. Once we reached my car, I wasn't quite sure the right way to express my thanks to Logan. "Do you...How about I shout you lunch sometime?" He seem to watch me, searching for some kind of reaction or conclusion on the right response until Logan finally nodded his head. "I'll give you my number?" Any other guy I wouldn't have hesitated but something about this man, Logan was completely different. I just knew that after the events of tonight that he was a worthy man, something I hoped to god wouldn't disappear or be a part of my wild imagination.

PRESENT: 2015

I was getting ready to go out with my family tonight, straightening the black slim dress against my frame. I wasn't quite sure if tonight was going to be anything good or simply another completion between my sister and myself. I would have much preferred spending the night with Logan, we have been dating for almost five years and are going strong, even with our differences. He had come out and told me the truth about being a mutant, it had first taken me by surprise but it was also a realization that I loved him before finding out about his DNA and it was easier to accept it because of that fact. As for tonight, Logan was busy with the school tonight. I couldn't help the smile that reflected back at me as I thought of Logan among the children, younger people and seeing the clear image of our children. I didn't know Logan's thoughts of commitment but I knew he was the right guy and treated me with respect. Shaking myself from my deep thoughts, I picked up my car keys from the table and started for the restaurant.

I arrived at the restaurant and saw my family sitting down inside with their usual table. My mother, Chelsea was shorter than me with tan dark hair and dark eyes but it was her personality that attracted people with her bubbly glow and helping hand with people. The down side, she would probably react the complete opposite with Logan- who she had never met- as after the divorce with my father had ripped her apart and she has strong trust issues with men. I sat down beside of my sister Dani -who happened to be the older of us in a happy relationship- and she was playing with her little boy Devin. I couldn't help the smile at the sight of my nephew and grabbed hold of his small hand giving it a tiny shake as he responded back with a brighter smile.

It was half way through dinner that the conversation started with my mother, I usually tried to stay away from the topic as I never quite knew how or what to say to her about Logan. "Honey, how's your love life going?"

I almost spat out my water in shocked at the blunt question. "Good mom." I took another sip of the water when I felt the vibrating of my phone in my handbag against my lap. Pulling it out, 'Logan' was flashing on the screen as an incoming call. "I have to get this." I said, getting up and stepping outside to answer it. "Hello."

"Hey when are you coming home?" He asked, his tone instantly putting me on alert as it didn't sound like his causal gruff.

"Why?" Worry slipped through my voice.

"We need to talk." Logan's answer increased the anxiety within me- they were never good words to hear in a relationship.

"I'll leave right now." I hung with him as soon as the words left my mouth, sent a quick text to my mother to explain that the office needed me while I walked to the car, I drove home with swirling questions in my mind.

I walked through the front door and was greeted with an unexpected kiss from Logan before he send me upstairs to get comfortable. I slipped off my shoes at the doorway and climbed upstairs to get dressed into my pj's though it didn't calm the nerves that shuffled within my body about the phone conversation.

Walking back downstairs, I followed the sounds to the kitchen and found Logan in front of the stove cooking up some pancakes. "Aren't they for breakfast?"

"There your favorite." He sat it like the answer was simple and I found that sentence calm her like he had so many years ago in the car park at the bar - he wouldn't make my favorite food than break up with me.

I jumped up onto the kitchen counter and smiled as Logan didn't hesitate to move between my legs, leaning forward to place a kiss on the corner of my mouth and down my neck. He nibbled my ear lobe before traveling the length of my jaw line, his whiskers tickling my skin as he reach my lips. His tongue searched for entry and I gladly opened, only for each of us to fight for dominance with the end result of Logan winning as per usual. As his rough fingers traced my thigh at the end of my shorts, I ached for him to keep going when the sound of my mother's voice and the slamming of the front door felt like cold water. "Gab where are you?"

Without so much of a word Logan moved from between my legs to the garage, that was like a slapped across the face at how fast he disappeared- Were we ever going to do the 'meet the parents' like every other couple? And there was still the haunting conversation over my head that Logan wanted to discuss about.
