Aeri sat in her car and fidgeted. She stared at her phone for a moment before texting Logan and letting him know she was here. She wanted to convince herself that she was just here to watch a hockey game and hang out. But she knew better. All Logan had to do was make a move, and her resistance was gone.
They had been friends for years. From the moment they kicked off their friendship though, there had always been a tension between them. One afternoon, when they were hanging out, they gave into that tension, and their "friends with benefits" relationship was born. It always was when she went to his place. Now she was here to see his new condo.
"It's going to happen." She thought to herself as she opened her door.
By the time she got out of the car and made her way across the parking lot to the building, Logan was already waiting at the door. He smiled as he held the door open for her. "All the way up." He said.
"You look good in that skirt." He said as he followed her up the stairs. She was wearing a knee length denim skirt and one shoulder top, her blonde hair down to her mid-back. She stopped and turned her head to look at him. Sunglasses perched on top of her hair, she smirked. "I know. And I know you like it."
Aeri knew what was going to happen. "Consequences be damned" she thought as she opened the door to his condo and walked in.
She kicked off her flip flops at the door. She turned and gave him a big hug. "Congrats on the new place, hun" she said.
"Ready for the tour?" Logan asked.
"Lead away." Aeri replied.
He showed her the entire unit, telling her what his plans were, what he was going to change, and what he liked. It was a 3rd floor unit with a decent sized balcony.
"I like it. Your work so far has paid off."
"Want a drink?" He asked. The game was about to start, so they were heading for the couch.
"Water for me. I have to drive home later."
He chuckled and tossed a bottle of water at her. "I don't think I've ever seen you drink."
"I don't do it very often. One of these days though, you might get lucky" she smirked.
The look on his face was priceless as she turned around and sat on the couch.
At the first intermission, they started having a very upfront conversation.
"So how come after all this time, you still fidget around me?" Logan asked.
