THE DIARY OF LIA MARK
(Dear Diary)
BY RUTHIE LEE
EPISODE 8 (tales of two lovers)
When Logan saw the puzzled look on my face, he moved his
head back to his food and apologized
“I’m sorry if I was being annoying”
“it’s okay” I said and faced the floor, I can’t believe he just
offered me to k!sshim..
Clas-sic Logan, I thought he hates me, or. Is he just pla-ying
me. .??
After breakfast, i cleared the table and washed the mugs and
then dropped it in its respective place, I saw that our parents
really tried In getting everything done, the kitchen was
fabulous and everytime was just perfect, there was a mini
fridge in the kitchen and it was loaded with different kind of
food stuff, well good thing I learnt how to cook..
I went back to the room upstairs and I met Logan staring at
window, I sighed and sat down on the be-d, and he suddenly
notices me and turned, he wanted to say something but he
kept quiet and turned his gaze away.. And then la-id down
while I broke the silence occurring between us and trust me it
was killing me..
I miss derrick!!
“Logan!” I called
He suddenly turned and arched an eyebrow at me
“how do you spend your Sunday” I asked
“I don’t really, know actually, I just stuff my face in popcorn
and watch TV all day I think” he replied
“I can’t actually watch movie without my movie buddy” I said
while he scoffed
“movie buddy? Who’s that” he asked
“Derrick!” I replied truthfully and he laughed
“wow you just can’t get enough of that boy”
“what is that supposed to mean” I snapped at him
“I mean he’s your bestfriend and your movie buddy, you know
it doesn’t work that way” he said sitting upright
“yeah,right” I said sarcastically..
“seriously you can always have a new movie buddy” he said
and flashed me a smile I could have sworn I saw a dimple
“like who? ” I said and sit up also
“like me! ” he said and smiled again.. Okay I’m not used to this
smile, but I’ll take it..
“no thanks” I said
He rolled his eyes and said “your loss”..
I huffed and stood up
“if you’d excuse me I’ll be downstairs watching TV on my own”
I said heading out the door
“you can’t watch movies without your movie buddy!!” he yelled
from inside as I was alre-ady going down the stairs and I
couldn’t help it but smile,
But wait why am I smiling,
As I switched on the TV, I was thri-lled to hear the bell ringing,
who could that be,
I walked to the door and opened it and I almost screamed.. It
was Derrick I quic-kly threw my arms around him and gave him
a sisterly hvg..
“I missed you” I mumbled In his shoulder and he chuckled
“I miss you too, princess” he said and dis£ngaged the hvg
coming in while I close the door, he starts to look around
admiring every piece of the house and I couldn’t help the
stupid grin that la-id on my face..
“so how did you get to know this place” I said and sat down
on the couch, and gestured him to come sit with me..
“for starters you know there’s your mom, your dad and your
grandma any of them can’t resist to tell me” he said and I
smiled I rolled my eyes..
He leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear “how’s Mr
Brown doing, hope he isn’t doing anything to piss you off or
annoy you cause I’ll totally rip his head off”
I laughed and shook my head saying “thanks for caring but,
he’s way too nice Now than I could ever imagine and trust me,
it’s kind of awkward and weird but I prefer it”
“good” he mumbled and I laughed
“what?” he asked
“what? ” I asked back
“why did you laugh” he asks and I realised i did laughed and
laughed
“no it’s just so cute when you try to act all serious and
protective around me” I said and ruffled his hair … He
re-moved my hand from his hair and said “watch the hair” and
then Smoothed it..
“I was also planing to watch a marathon of KC un-dercover,
care to join” I said and arch an eyebrow
“I’d prefer fast and furious” he said and rested his head on the
couch..
“this is why choosing you as my movie buddy was a wrong
idea” I tea-sed and sighed pla-yfully
“like there was anyone else you could choose” he said
sarcastically and rolled his eyes..
“there is” I said defensively
“okay who?” he asks and fold his arm..
“there’s Logan” I said and a pained look suddenly flashed on
his face but he suddenly wore it off.. Speaking of Logan, he
stared to come down the stairs and Derrick gave me a
worried look..
Seeing derrick Logan mood changed but he sighed and I know
he f0rç£d out a smile..
“hey Derrick, good to see you” he said and walked inside the
kitchen
“did he.. Just..
“yep, that’s the new Logan” I said and derrick smiled and said
.. “I like the new Logan” While I just shrugged,
Logan’s trying to be friends with me and now Derrick, but wow
that must have taken a lot of guts … Maybe he wasn’t who I
think he was before.. Huh! So nice of him..
“wait here, while I get us lemonade there’s some In the fridge”
I said and stood up walking In the kitchen,
I met Logan staring at the cu-p of coffee he held, “thanks” I
said snapping him out of his reverie,
“oh Uhm.. What?” he j£rked looking at me..
“thanks” I repeated and smiled
“for what, exactly?” he asked
“for being nice to Derrick, I know you guys are going to be
perfect friends and so as you and i” I said and he turned his
gaze away then at me
“yeah, sure, but just know you’re not my friend Lia, you’re my
wife don’t pretend you don’t know that when the whole world
knows” he said and took a sip from his coffee..
“whatever” I said and tucked some strands of hair behind my
ear, he smiled while I walked to the fridge and brou-ght out the
glas-s jar of lemonade, I poured the lemonade in two glas-s
cu-ps and set them carefully on the tray,
“so care to join us to watch tv” I offered while he nodded and
said “wouldn’t miss it, go ahead I’ll join” he said and I poured
one more glas-s of Lemonade before hearing to the living
room..
“the first episode is over” derrick announced
“what!” I said and dropped the tray,
” I was just joking you spent like fifty nine hours in the kitchen,
what were you doing in there” he asked
“ohh….just ma-king new friends” I smiled
I sat down beside him and we started the TV series.. Few
minutes later Logan joined us, sitting beside me ma-king me in
between him and Derrick..
~~`~~`~~`~~~`~~~`~~~`~~`~~`~~`~~`~~~~`
Derrick finally left after the three of us had lunch which I made
and I couldn’t be more glad.. I was happy,
After giving Derrick a goodbye hvg and him telling me he’ll see
me in school tomorrow, I sighed I almost forgot I go to school
..
.
I glanced at the wall clock and it was 5:40pm, I went back to
the room and sat down sat on a bean bag chair, at the edge of
the be-d,
And I suffered wonders where Logan went to..
Just thinking of him he walked inside and plopped on the be-d,
“thanks for today you guys made my day” Logan said
“I should be the one thanking you” I smiled and i could hear
him chuckle
“okay then don’t thank me and make it up to me” he said and I
could imagine him smile at that cause I couldn’t see him I was
on the floor and he was on the be-d..
“what do you mean” I asked
“don’t thank me just make up for it instead of thanking me,
just make me your movie buddy” he said and I Laughed..
“movie buddy, really? If that’s what you want then fine” I said
and I could s-en-se he was smiling,
I really love that we’re getting along real fine I expected us to
be shouting at each other now, but he just changed all of a
sudden or maybe he’s like this before I don’t know..
During nighttime, after dinner and all, we both la-id on the be-d
and stared at the ceiling with everywhere real quiet,
as-suming he’s someone I know, or he’s someone I d@t£d and
got Married to, the air won’t be as tensed as this one.. I quic-kly
switch off the light and then heard Logan sighed, I could feel
as he scoot closet to me and i stiffened.
He turned to me and in my ear he said “do you hate me” he
Said his breath warm and smelled like the chocolate we just
had for dessert. ..earlier
“of course I don’t, why would I hate you” I said and turned to
him
“because I’ve been a j£rk” he added and I was almost lost
when his breath took on over my face
“well you kind of have been, but it’s okay actually ,it’s perfectly
fine” I said smiling even though he couldn’t see me as the
room was dark..
I ruffled his hair like I always do to Derrick but he just laughed
and said “hey my hair is the first most important thing In my
b©dy”
“you are such a cliché” I said laughing and rolling my eyes,
he’s suddenly acting like derrick even just spending only half a
day with him..
“I’m not, well let’s sleep there’s school tomorrow” he said and
I nodded and said “sure”
I felt his hand on mine and he clutched our palms together,
“can we sleep this way?” he asked sympathetically,
“why not!” I smiled
“you’re my husband’ anyway” I added and bur-st Into laughter
“you’re right that’s so weird to say” I said still laughing ,
We both shared a great laugh before falling asleep and I could
say, our friendsh!pis really paying off..
That night we both sle-pt peacefully with our hands clutched
together and with smiles on our faces”
