Perfect Two? - Andrea Diaz (leveled readers txt) 📗

to me just to ask if I knew where the chips were. My father got so upset, he pulled me away and told that poor boy to never come near me ever again. I felt so bad for him."

"Wow he was very over protective."

"Yes he was, but its fine. I'm glad I didn't get close to anyone, it made it easier to leave."

"Well that's good."

They smiled at each other but suddenly there was a loud splash and someone began to scream.

"Help!"

*cough*

"Help!"

Olivia and Logan rushed over to the lake and saw a little boy no older than nine years old drowning.

"Oh my god."

Olivia stood there in shock. Logan took his shoes off then he jumped into the lake. He swam over to the boy and grabbed him. Logan pulled him over to the edge of the lake and Olivia reached out to grab the boy and help him out.

*cough* *cough* *cough*

The boy coughed and spit some water out. He laid against Olivia on the ground.

"Oh God are you okay?"

"Damn it Jimmy! What have I told you!"

The boy looked up at Logan, who was soaked and had his shoes in his hand.

"I'm sorry Logan. I was chasing a butterfly and I didn't know I was heading towards the lake."

"Logan its okay, he's fine. Lets just get you inside so you can change, we don't want you to get a cold."

"Come on."

Logan helped him get up, then helped Olivia.

They walked back to the house and as they headed back to there room to change Olivia headed to the living room.

"Olivia, sweety, I'd like you to meet Tyler. Tyler this is my daughter Olivia."

Olivia looked at the man her mother pointed at. He had short, dirty blonde hair and amazing sapphire blue eyes.

She stepped closer to him and he extended his hand to her.

"Its a pleasure to finally meet you ms. Olivia."

She reached out to his hand and he raised it up and kissed her hand.

"Please call me Olivia, the ms thing gets old."

"Of course. Your mother informed me you just arrived from California."

"Yes."

"Well if you'd like, it would be my pleasure to show you around town sometime."

"That would be great." 

"Well then, how about tomorrow evening. I know the best restaurant in this town."

"Its a date."

She smiled at him and he returned the smile.

After some time he left.

Olivia and Emma headed to her study.

"Wasn't he wonderful?"

"He's okay."

"Oh come on. He has the most amazing eyes."

"Correction, he has the most amazing BLUE eyes."

"Oh you know you liked him. You already have a date planned. I knew you two would get along. He's such a gentleman."

"Well you know Logan is nice too."

"Well of course he is, Tina is a great woman so you would figure her son would be too."

"You know he saved a boy today from drowning. I believe his name was Jimmy."

"Oh is he alright?"

"Of course."

"Well Logan is always looking out for Jimmy. That boy is a handful."

"Well he seems like a wonderful little boy."

"Yes he is, no doubt about that."

After dinner Olivia went to her mothers study to search for a book she left there before dinner.

"Do you need help?"

Olivia looked over at the door and saw Logan leaning against the doorway.

"Oh no its fine. I'm just looking for a book I left here earlier."

"My mother probably put it back."

Olivia looked up at the spot in the book case where she had found it earlier and saw he was right.

"Got it." She grabbed the book and smiled at Logan,"Thanks."

"You're welcome. I was wondering maybe tomorrow we can finish that walk Jimmy interrupted earlier."

"Oh I'm sorry, I can't. I have a date."

Logan looked down and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Oh its fine. No problem. I should let you go rest. Good night ma'am."

Logan looked up at her and smiled. Olivia was about to say something to him but he walked away.
