Chapter 32: Is this the start of something good!?

“So you maggot students, this year’s class trip will be to Hawaii!”

“Wait! Why Hawaii!?” I accidently shout out.

Ms. Mason glares at me with an evil smile and then throws an eraser at my head. I can’t dodge because of my arm so I just take the eraser to my face.

“Ow!” I gently rub my forehead where the eraser made contact.

“Don’t talk out of turn!” Ms Mason slowly walks over to me and pats my left shoulder, “Also, it’s a rich kid school, don’t sweat the details.” Ms. Mason walks back to the front of the class. “Due to many dangerous events happening this year, we are going to be leaving on short notice… by that I mean tomorrow! Class is cancelled today and we will be leaving tomorrow!”

The class is in shock, but no one dares to speak up for fear of being hit by an eraser. A student slowly raises there hand.

“How long is the trip for?”

“Oh. A useful question! Too bad for you I don’t care enough to let you know! Now scram!”

“““Yes Ma’am!””” The class shouts in unison and we all orderly run out of the room at top speeds.

“Greetings Logan, so I declare.” Saunderson walks up to me after we exit the classroom.

“Ah, hey Saunderson. I always seem to forget that we have the same first class.”

“Not an issue, so I declare.” Saunderson just shrugs his shoulders.

“So, you should know how long this trip is going to be… also, who is guarding Claire right now?”

“Claire is being watched by this one’s acquaintance… well more than acquaintance, so I declare.”

“More than acquaintance?” I smile with an evil grin as Saunderson realises his slip. “So you have a person who is closer to you than I am. Not that it really bothers me. I was just wondering if you managed to land yourself a good girlfriend.”

Saunderson almost stumbles as I say this.

“This one does not know how you would be able to guess something like that, so I declare.”

“Simple, Claire told me. I just wanted to tease you a bit.” I smile and laugh as he just hangs his head. “It was funny because Amy was there when Claire told me. Her face was almost the same as a tomato! Brightest red I’ve ever seen on someone’s face!”

Saunderson just sighs as he looks off into the distance.

“This one’s plans never involved getting a lover, nor have they ever. This one is unsure of the appropriate steps to take. Have you ever had a lover, so I inquire.” Saunderson turns to look at me during the last line.

“Well…” I scratch my head and laugh, “If you mean girlfriend, nope. I have never had a girlfriend. I went straight from being single to having a wife. I’m not complaining, it was an interesting turn that I am glad my life took. If a person asked me what I would do if given the chance to go back and change anything, I would tell them there’s no need to go back. I don’t care that my arm is broken. If that’s the price for having a perfect wife. I wouldn’t even mind not having the arm entirely.”

Saunderson widens his eyes at my response.

“This one does not understand why the bond between yourself and Claire is so strong, so I declare.”

“You know what?” I look at Saunderson and smile, “I don’t either. Also, I don’t really care. I know I love her and I know she loves me. That’s all I need.”

Saunderson helps me carry my school things as our dorms are now much closer.

“This one thinks he understands now… However this one is still at a loss to do within his relationship, so I declare.”

“I think you should just talk to her about it. If she doesn’t want to talk about it, don’t force her to. Give it time. If she still refuses to do anything after an extended period of time. Don’t let her run away, but don’t be harsh. Never, ever yell at her. Not even if you are angry. Joking around is fine as long as she understands that you are joking around. If you cross a line. Apologize. She is always right and you are always wrong, even when you are right. Other than that… improvise. No relationship will be the same as another.”

“This one thanks Logan for his wonderful advice… Claire has also been following us for a little while now, so I declare.”

I look behind me and see a smiling Claire… Is she angry at what I said? No… she shouldn’t be… I didn’t say anything wrong… did I?

“Saunderson, Logan is right. You should treat Amy with respect and put her before everything. I will take Logan’s school stuff and you go find Amy. ‘Kay?” Claire holds out her hand politely and takes my things from Saunderson.

“This one is truly idiotic for not being able to figure this out on his own. This one thanks you for everything that you have done for him, so I declare.” Saunderson runs off to go and look for Amy.

“So Logan…” Claire looks at me with a sad expression. “How’s your arm?”

“Ah, it’s okay for now. The meds they have me on are really something. I can’t feel my arm at all. I mean at all, not even sense of touch, but only my right arm from elbow down is like that. Truly an amazing thing from a pill.”

“Yeah…” Claire smiles slightly, “I’m so-“

“Stopping you there.” I interrupt Claire, “We talk about this every day. It isn’t your fault my arm is broken. I don’t even mind it at all. A small price to pay for having a perfect wife.” I smile happily at Claire who starts to laugh.

“You said that earlier.”

“And I’ll say it again if I have to!” I happily kiss Claire “I love you, Claire.”

“I love you too, Logan.”

Claire and I walk back to our dorm room while she carries my school stuff along with hers… I feel bad about making her do that, but she refuses to let me do anything.

“Hey Logan… how are you going to do activities in Hawaii with a broken arm?” Claire looks at my arm with a sad expression on her face.

“Don’t worry about it too much. I’ll have fun just being with you. I expect that the Old Man has a special trick up his sleeve again for the two of us seeing all the trouble we’ve been through.”

Claire nods and laughs.

“I guess father really does enjoy treating us to things, even if we don’t go through anything.”

“Hey Claire… shouldn’t you be more shaken after being kidnapped and almost forced to do many things against your will?”

“Well…” Claire frowns, “I was scared for a long time during the incident… but you came to save me before anything really bad happened. Oh, and if you’re wondering, I’m still chaste.” She smiles and sticks her tongue out at me.

“Not for much longer if I have any say.” I smile at her.

“You don’t.” She rolls her eyes

“NOOO!!!” I fall to my knees and look up at the cruel being watching over me.

“Not until we are almost done school… maybe after this semester’s exams… waiting is hard for me too you know.” Claire looks around nervously.

“Yeah,” I stand back up and smile, “I know you want it not to affect our studies, but once or twice won’t hurt too much.”

“If you beat my scores on the finals, I will allow it.”

“My subjects are harder than yours this semester!”

“Not my problem.” She sticks her tongue out at me and opens the door to our dorm room. “We should really start packing, it’s going to be a long trip… oh… I don’t have a swimsuit that fits anymore…”

“Oh? We should go to the mall after we pack then. Also, if we stay there for too long, sleeping on planes isn’t too hard.” I shrug my shoulders after sighing… I have a high goal to achieve.

“We should. I know the perfect store!”

“Great, cause I don’t!”

……

…

“That’s… a lot of swimsuits…” I look at the large store that has every design you could imagine in any size with almost any style… male and female alike.

“You should find one too Logan. Despite not being able to swim you could probably lay near the water or go into the shallows.” Claire smiles at me as she slowly inches into the store, eager to try things on.

“Don’t worry about me, I wait in the seats beside the change rooms. I will just choose something simple for myself.” Claire almost runs off at a sprint to go and look at swimsuits within the store.

I wonder what I should get… nah, I’ll just grab this dark blue one. Nice colour for swim trunks. It had pockets on either side. I’ve never really understood the point of pockets on swimming trunks. I’ve never used them. Maybe I’m just doing it wrong.

I walk and sit down in the chairs in front of the changing rooms. I think I finally know why I’ve heard them called ‘Husband chairs’.

“Hey Logan, whatcha think?” Claire comes out in a white one piece swimsuit that had a flower design and was tight fitting.

“Hm… I can say that I like bikinis better, to be perfectly honest.” I slowly nod as I look at Claire from top to bottom.

“I thought you might like the conservative look a bit better, so others don’t look at me in weird ways.”

“You look so beautiful in anything you wear, that you get those looks anyways. I think you may as well go all out since it doesn’t matter.”

“I guess you’re right… so what did you decide on?” Claire walks over and looks at the swimming trunks in my hands. She sighs as she goes back to the changing room.

She comes back out wearing a dark blue coloured bikini. It covered quite a bit, but not a whole lot. The top part was tied at the centre of her chest with a small bow. The bottom part also had small bows on either side.

“I know you want to go for a matching theme, but I can’t say this one is the right choice.” I smile at Claire.

“It was worth a shot.” She sticks her tongue out at me as she walks back into the changing room. A few moments later.

She was wearing a pure white bikini with frills that made her fairly large chest look even larger. Not complaining, but I don’t really care too much about size… maybe.

“I can already tell you like this one more than the others.” Claire smiles at me as she does a spin to showcase what she looks like.

“I approve of this.” I nod slightly as Claire happily hops back into the changing room. Claire quickly changes back into her clothes and hands the other swimsuits to a person who would sort them back onto their racks.

“So Logan. What was the best part of the final swimsuit that sold it for you?”

“I thought you looked happier in it.”

“The real reason.” Claire smiles mischievously.

“It made you look hotter than hell.”

Claire smiles as we make our way back towards the school. Any sleep at this point would be better than nothing, it wasn’t too late anyways.

Oh yeah, Claire said she would be making me meals from now on. I wonder what kind of meal I am going to be getting tonight. I really am looking forward to it.

Hello everyone!

So. The overwhelming majority (like, three people) requested steady releases. So I will be doing that.

Well, good news is that it allows me to take my time and write more chapters for you guys (maybe gals, but we all know the internet has no females).

All joking aside, I would like to thank all of you for sticking around this long. It makes me really happy when I see the large amounts of views coming to my story consistently. Please, do try to comment every once in a while if you have the time. I love reading comments, and I do reply to almost every single question or concern that people put into the comments.

Also, we have been sitting at 19 ratings for quite some time now. Please leave a review and an honest opinion on the story, it really helps (Please don't give a 0.5 star review say "this sucks, don't read it", those make me sad, and will not help me in any way). My goal is to continue improving as I write as I am aware that my writing is still lacking in many places (For example: descriptions. I can't describe things to save my life... actually in the more recently written chapters I do get more descriptive.).

Anyways, that will end my daily rant.

Have a great day/night!
