I WAS RAISED TO BE CHARMING, NOT SINCERE

LOGAN FITZ The name's Logan. I'm 27, work at a repair shop. I also play guitar.

As they continued to kiss, Rosa became more bold and wove her hands into Logan’s hair. She couldn’t deny the spike of pride she felt take over her at the hum he made against her lips. She, Rosamund Gerald, was having that effect on him. She was having an actual effect on some hot stranger that she had only just met. This fact made her feel fearless and, as cliche as it sounded, free.

Pulling back, a small pout on her face, Rosa pushed her hair away from her face before giggling. “Why thank you. You’re not too bad yourself.” She replied. Rosa opened her mouth but was unable to find the words - perhaps she wasn’t as fearless as she had previously believed. Instead, she closed her mouth and nodded her head vigouressly. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Logan grinned, happy that she seemed confident because of the heated air between the; the way she was satisfying him as a result of their kissing. He chuckled and hummed. Maybe things would turn out well for the both of them. At least he knew that his flirting hadn't been too much or she probably would have pushed him away by now.

He took her hand and led her away from all the energy that was on the dance floor and towards the exit of the bar. He waved for a taxi as he rested his hand on the small of her back. Logan turned to face her a bit, licking over his lips, looking forward to the rest of the fun they could have that night.

[charmingloganfitz]

Today has been way too long.

[prettyguardianfabray]

Why are you so determined to talk this out?

It was just a one night thing, I understand, I’m not expecting anything from it. 

[charmingloganfitz]

I'm the kind of man that doesn't like to let anything slip by him.

Even if you'll be seeing more of me?

Meeting Logan’s gaze, Rosa returned the smile, her’s a little more tender and unsure but still full of excitement. She hadn’t felt like this in a long time. The juxtaposition of the mixture of the exhilaration with the timidness, sent swirls into the pit of her stomach. Is this what it was supposed to feel like? Jeremy had never made her feel like this, not really. He had made her feel just a little unworthy of his attention, like he had other, more pressing matters to get to than her happiness. 

Coming back from her thoughts, Rosa watched as Logan’s face came closer and closer. Panic began to spike within as she fought with the idea of pulling away. The inner battle continued until, finally, their lips touched. All frantic feelings quickly fell away, as she moved closer to him and sighed into the kiss. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Maybe it was the charm that usually got Logan what he wanted. Though his personality consisted of mostly sarcasm and insults, he was very charismatic and that had helped him whenever he went out. Still, he made it clear that he was interested--and he really was--in order to gain Rosa's trust. And the kiss made it clear that they were right on the same page. 

He continued to kiss her, feeling a bit relaxed at that and let out a happy hum. After a few moments or seconds, whenever it was, he had since lost track of time, Logan pulled away slightly with a small smirk on his lips. "Damn, you're a good kisser," he grinned and chuckled, before smirking again, hinting that he wanted to kiss her again and perhaps a little bit more. 

"Maybe we should take this elsewhere away from prying eyes, yeah?" he suggested, licking over his lips and gazing at her, awaiting her response.

[charmingloganfitz]

Today has been way too long.

[prettyguardianfabray]

I suppose we should. Or we could just completely ignore that it ever happened.

[charmingloganfitz]

It's inevitable that it'll come up sometime in the future.

Rosamund closed her eyes against the music, allowing it to wash over her, with the bass guiding her heart. She felt much safer than she first believed that she ever could in a club like this. Maybe it was because she had actually spent some time in there and understood the mood or maybe it was due to the charming stranger currently clutching her hand. Then again, it could also be down to the amount of alcohol running through her veins. 

As they finally reached their preferred spot on the dance floor, Logan placed his hands on her waist and, in response, Rosamund wound her arms over his shoulders before clasping them behind his head. They hadn’t been dancing for long before the music changed. Rosa allowed Logan to press closer to her and she moved her hips to the music, a small smirk donning her face. She wasn’t much of a dancer but tonight she didn’t seem able to care. Resting her forehead against his, she let out a breath and looked up at Logan through her lashes. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Logan grinned a bit at the comfortable air between them. He like how drawn to him she was. Maybe it boosted his ego a bit, but that wasn't anything new. When they pressed their foreheads together, he was able to meet her gaze and he grinned. The temptation suddenly somehow became greater, that strange feeling, wanting to kiss her.

Maybe it was the alcohol in his system or the fact that he really was attracted to her, and the music stirring him on. It was the beat that made him move closer into their own space withdrawn from the other couples in the club. Without much more hesitation, Logan leaned in and kissed her, unsure if he was crossing any boundaries, but he just really wanted to, maybe it would stir something or maybe he'd get a slap on the face. He'd been through both.

[charmingloganfitz]

[prettyguardianfabray]

I wouldn’t know, like I said, I can’t remember. 

It was a one night stand. There’s no reason for either of us thinking about it any longer. 

[charmingloganfitz]

I see.

Well, considering we'll probably be seeing each other more often, don't you think we'll have to deal with it?

[charmingloganfitz]

Today has been way too long.

[prettyguardianfabray]

I was drunk, I can barely remember it anyway, 

[charmingloganfitz]

Uh-huh... I really don't see how it was a bad thing. Was I really that bad?

Rosa pursed her lip at his response, looking him up and down. Was he flirting with her? Rosa had not been flirted with for many years and so her ability to detect it had dwindled with time. Jeremy had done it at the beginning of their relationship as a way to reel her in but after that he seemed to stop caring. Smiling to hold back her giggle, Rosa nodded. “Very immature.” She agreed, her smile becoming more of a smirk. “He was still scared of the dark. At the age of 27.” Nodding once more, she took another sip of her drink and looked back at the stranger. 

Rosa was unable to hold in her laugh this time, and instead ducked her head in an attempt to conceal it. “Rosamund,” she introduced herself. “but most just call me Rosa.” The corner of her lip quivered. “Aren’t you suave?” She questioned sarcastically. “But you certainly know the way to a broken hearted girls heart. Endless alcohol.” Swivelling herself around on the stool and placing her hand in his, Rosa pushed herself to her feet. “I think I’ll take you up on that dancing. Lets see how you move on the dancefloor first.” She told him, sending a flirty smile over her should before leading him over to the hoard of moving bodies, holding their hands over their heads. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Logan laughed softly. "Damn, he needs help," he grinned. "Rosa it is, then," he chuckled. "Well, I do have that whole charm thing going on. And I know my way to people's hearts too," he wrinkled his nose a bit with another chuckle, grinning to himself when she had accepted his offer. "Fair enough," Logan said, letting lead the way towards the dancefloor.

They were already mildly tipsy, and entering into a sea of mildly to severely tipsy people was a bit of a challenge, but they made it and he laughed softly, moving up to her, his hands resting at her waist. Logan moved along to the beat of the song that was playing, smiling at Rosa, wanting to see where things went, hoping he could make her really forget about her problems tonight. He was good at that, and judging by the way she was reacting to him, he was doing a good job so far. As the music changed to a different beat, Logan adjusted, pressing closer against her.

[charmingloganfitz]

[prettyguardianfabray]

Oh God.

Yes, terribly confidential. Do not go and blab that to anyone else. In fact, just do us both a favour and forget it even happened. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Can't really forget what happened. Can you? But as you wish, darling.

I - I don’t know what you’re talking about. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Well, I asked you to dance after you told me your story of why you were drinking three shots or beers at once, then we ended up going to my place, and well, we almost knocked down my wall lamp, but we made it to bed. And there were other things I'm pretty sure should remain confidential.

Rosa downed her next drinking and placed the glass back on the bar, this time deciding to have a break from drowning in liquor. Hearing a voice beside her, Rosamund turned to see a man gazing towards her. The man was gorgeous, there was no denying that. He was dark, his black curls only slightly tamed and eyes that pierced into her own. Rosa gave the man a tight smile. “My, my, quite the observation.” She snarked, unable to stop herself with the mood she was in. 

Looking down at the bar, she began tracing patterns into the marble top before leaning her elbow on it and looking at the man the same way he was looking at her. “Well, if you would really like to know, handsome stranger,” she began. “my long-term arsehole of a boyfriend has just broken up with me over the phone. And then I found out he’s been cheating on me the entire time. HA!” She shouted the last part much louder than she had initially intended but the alcohol dulled her shame. “Whatever.” Rosa continued, wafting her hand in the air. “I don’t need that prick anyway. And do you wanna know something?” She asked the stranger, leaning in closer to his face. “He wasn’t even good in bed. Nope. Tiniest dick I’ve ever seen.” Rosa told him, pulling back with her bottom lip between her teeth, attempting to conceal her smile. 

[charmingloganfitz]

"I can appreciate a girl with good tastes," Logan grinned at her, unable to help the small chuckled when she called him handsome. Blunt and straight to the point. He liked that. "Must've been quite the idiot to give up a gorgeous girl like you. And quiet immature for a phone breakup? What, does he think he's Joe Jonas or something?" Logan raised an eyebrow when she continued. She was pretty amusing and he was definitely drawn to her. 

He grinned again. "Well, good luck to whatever chick he sleeps with next, she's in for a small surprise. You know what they say, small mind, small everything else," the man hummed, taking a long, slow sip of his drink, thinking of something. "I'm Logan, by the way. Maybe I can help you forget Mr. Tiny Boned and you'd like to dance with me? Or we can skip the formalities and I can really make you forget, what do ya say?" Logan smirked. "And for the record, I'm much better in both those categories, let me be struck by lightning if I am lying," he gave her a flirty wink, then tossed some cash on the counter to cover both their orders. "It's on my tab tonight," he nodded at the man before looking over at the girl again, offering his hand.

Clutching the phone to her ear, her knuckles going white, Rosa fought the tears that threatened in her eyes. “Jeremy please." She croaked, at a loss for what else she could possibly say to stop this. This couldn’t be happening, he couldn’t possibly be ending their five year long relationship, and over the phone none the less. Rosa had seen him only a week ago, he had been fine, they had been fine - what on Earth had changed?

"I’m sorry, Rosa." He muttered, not sounding sorry at all. "I-I just don’t think that we’re working any more-" And that was when she heard it. It was muffled due to the line but it was definitely a giggle coming from Jeremy’s end, far too high to be one of his friends.

"You asshole!" Rosamund cried, the blood colouring her face as the tears finally fell freely. "You’re an asshole, and a coward, and I fucking hate you." She told him, her voice calmer than she would of been able to believe it could be at a time like this. Slamming her finger onto the end call button, Rosa threw her phone back into her bag and slowly moved to sit on the floor, leaning her back against the hotel wall. She had taken the call outside, expecting to need some alone time with her beloved and instead she got this. Collapsing her head into her hands, Rosa continued to cry for a moment before looking off to the side. At the end of the street was a bar. Usually, Rosa would find such a place to be sleazy with its bright blue lights and people tumbling out and throwing up on the pavement. But tonight, in her emotional state, it looked oddly inviting. Getting to her feet, Rosa wiped her face to remove any ruined makeup and brushed down her clothes. She still had her phone so Louisa could just call her if she really needed anything - it would be fine.

Entering the bar, Rosa wrinkled her nose at the stench of the place before chiding herself. Now was not the time to be picky, she reasoned, now was the time to get off your face so you can forget about that prick. Nodding to herself, Rosa made her way to the bar, sat down and slapped her hand on the surface to gain the man who was attending its attention. “Two shots of whatever is strongest.” She instructed him, running a hand through her hair and looking around the place as she waited for her order. There were quite a few people dancing which she might join in with later in the night. She wasn’t much of a dancer but this movement was more grinding and jumping to the beat and she could do that. Just for tonight. The barman came back with her drinks and placed them before her, waiting for a moment as if debating to ask if she was okay before leaving in silence at Rosa’s glare. Grabbing the drinks, she necked them, one straight after the other and slammed her hand on the surface again. This was going to be a long night. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Logan's phone wouldn't stop buzzing. It wasn't just Kevin who was bugging him about something, now it was his sister, who apparently couldn't find her shoes. He just ignored all the calls and sipped on his beer, as he kept looking around for someone he would talk to and maybe make some small talk with. He was supposed to be the one with all the answers, but tonight was supposed to be his day off. He wanted at least that much, for now.

He turned to the side when he heard an angry voice near him. Raising an eyebrow, he watched as some girl ordered, wondering if she could really handle all that. Not that Logan was one to judge, but even he had to be careful when he drank something other than his usual beer or hard liquor. Now was the time to turn on the charm. Hopefully, that would make both their nights.

He walked over to the girl, setting his own drink down in front of him and putting on his best smile. "Hey," Logan grinned, leaning his elbow against the counter with his head propped up against his fist as he faced her. "That's quite the drink order you've got yourself there," he said, observing her actions carefully.

If there was one thing Logan was actually good at, it was observing people. He could read expressions -- even if someone was trying to hide what they were really thinking or feeling. He would notice something off and he could definitely sense a liar. It was just one of the few qualities that made him street-smart and something that made other people know not to mess with him. As much as he was proud of himself for knowing how to handle himself, he hoped his sister wouldn't pick up his less-than-nice habits. The young man gave the girl a look of curiosity.

"Something on your mind?"

I know, I just do not appreciate it.

Not from what I remember.

What ever floats your boat, darlin'.

We may be remembering different things, because if I do recall correctly, I was a gentleman.

The name is Rosa, not cupcake.

I suppose but I really can’t believe that he chose you out of all people. I’ve met many of their friends before, nice, respectable men. 

[charmingloganfitz]

It's a pet name. Calm down. Yeesh.

And I'm not nice or respectable? Ouch.

Logan put down his shot glass at the bar, and ordered himself another beer. He had been working more than his usual 8 hours, and that rightfully annoyed him. He even asked his boss for the day off, but apparently, this was the season for car troubles. His best friend was getting married and Logan was the best man. So it would have been nice to have a day off. But no. In a rut and in the need of a drink, he went to his favorite bar, hoping to distract himself from all the drama and have a good time.

A couple of minutes later, he was downing the bottle in his hand and eyeing around for some girl he could talk to. At least he didn't have to be responsible tonight. He wasn't getting married. Logan had his phone on. The groom could call him whenever he wanted, but for now, his mind was elsewhere. Oh, how he disliked weddings. He wasn't bitter, but romance wasn't for him. Well, the open bar was a plus. And he was asked to sing. At least that was a better gig than his day job.

[charmingloganfitz]

Today has been way too long.

[prettyguardianfabray]

I still can’t believe they are trusting you with the best man responsibilities. 

[charmingloganfitz]

Better believe it, cupcake. It's about who you know, right?
