You stood in the dimly lit corridor of the office building, phone clutched tightly in you hand as you watch the clock on the wall ticked away at the very last few moments of the evening. You felt a twinge of annoyance. You had promised yourself that youâd leave work early tonight, but the pile of unfinished paper work had other ideas. You sighed then dialled in Loganâs number, your voice echoing softly in the empty space.
"Hey, Logan," you said, trying to keep the frustration out of tone. "It's me. I know I'm supposed to be out by now, but work's running late. Can you come pick me up?"
On the other end of the line, you could hear the rustling of fabric and a faint murmur, probably from Charles. "Look, darlin', I'd love to, but I've got my hands full here with Laura and the Professor. Caliban's out scavengin' for supplies and I can't leave them alone."
Your heart sank slightly, you pouted out your bottom lips. "What about Laura? Can't she stay with Charles for a bit?"
Logan's voice grew gruffer, "I don't trust that girl alone with him. She's a handful, and the Professor isn't as sharp as he used to be."
"Please," You begged, with a hint of strained. "I really need you to come get me. You wouldnât want me to be in danger do you?"
Logan sighed, the weight of his responsibilities evident in the silence that followed. "Alright, fine. But you owe me big time for this."
"Thank you, baby," You said, and you relief palpable. "I'll see you soon. Love you, Logan."
âYeahâŚlove you too, darlinâ.â Logan grunted in response, ending the call. He looked over at Laura, who was sitting on the couch with Charles. She had a mischievous twinkle in her eye, holding a fistful of stickers that you had brought home from the dollar store. They were supposed to be a surprise for Laura's upcoming birthday, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
"Come on, kid," Logan said, taking the stickers from Laura. "We've got to pick up your soon-to-be-mom. And you're going to leave these here."
"Por quĂŠ no?" (âWhy not?â) Laura protested, sticking out her lower lip. Logan raised an eyebrow. "Because I said so," he replied firmly. "You can't go around sticking things on everything." Laura pouted but obeyed, tucking the stickers into her pocket. As they made their way to the car, she couldn't resist peeking at them, her thumb tracing the shapes of unicorns and rainbows. Once they were on the road, she brought them out again.
"Can I put these on the car, Logan?" Laura asked, her voice hopeful. Logan's eyes darted to the stickers in her hand. "What? No, Laura, those are for your birthday. Not for my car."
But Laura's enthusiasm was infectious. "Por favor, Logan. No me gusta lo oscuro y aburrido que es tu coche.," (âPlease Logan? I don't like how dark and boring your car is,â) she pleaded, holding up the stickers.
Logan sighed, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. He knew that if he said no, Laura would just find some other way to use them, and it might end up worse than a few stickers on the dashboard. "Fine," he grumbled. "But only a few, and not on the windows. I need to see where we're going."
Laura's eyes lit up, and she immediately began peeling the stickers from the paper backing, placing them carefully around the car's interior. She stuck one on the steering wheel, another on the gear shift, and a couple on the dashboard. Logan's grumble grew louder with each sticker, but he couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of his mouth. Laura's joy was a rare sight, and he didn't want to ruin it by being too strict.
As they drove through the night, the neon lights from passing billboards cast a colourful glow over the car, making the stickers pop even more. Laura chattered away in her broken English, pointing out landmarks and asking questions about the world outside the walls of their secluded hideout. Logan's answers were short and gruff, but he found himself enjoying the conversation more than he had in a long time.
Finally, they arrived at the office complex where you worked. Laura was practically bouncing in her seat, eager to show off their new 'sticker masterpiece'. Logan stepped out of the car, running a hand over his face, feeling the stickiness of the glue. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come.
As they waited for you to emerge, Laura grew more and more restless. She began fidgeting with the stickers again, sticking them to the car's windows, seats, on both of her arms and Loganâs favourite radio. Logan shot her a warning glance, but she just grinned back, her claws retracted.
"LoganâŚ," Laura whispered, her voice filled with excitement. "Look what I can do."
With surprising speed, stepping out from the car and stuck a sticker on the inside of the windshield, right in the center of the hood. Logan's eyes went wide as he watched it peel off and stick again, leaving a smudge of glue on the glass.
"Laura, that's enough!" he barked, but she was already moving on to the next one. He stepped around the car, trying to catch her before she could do any more damage, but she was too fast. She stuck a sticker on the hood, another on the door handle, and even one on the tire. Logan couldn't help but chuckle, despite his frustration. Laura's spirit was something he hadn't encountered in a long time, not since... well, he didn't want to think about that right now. He opened the car door and gently pulled her back inside.
"Alright, that's enough," he said, trying to keep his voice firm but the hint of a smile giving him away. Laura's eyes sparkled with delight as she held up her stickers.
"But papito-," she protested, "Iâm not done yet!"
Logan sighed, his eyes scanning the car's interior. It was already a disaster. He was growing tired and grumpy. He knew he should be mad and want to scold her to stop, but the sight of Laura having fun, even for a brief moment.
"Look," he said, taking the stickers from her. "We can't have these all over the car. It's not safe, and it's not right. You can't just go around sticking things willy-nilly."
Laura pouted, looking down at the stickers in her hand. "But it makes everything happier," she mumbled. She cuss at Logan in spanish which he doesnât understand while looking at her with a stern expression.
Logan raised an eyebrow. "What did you just say?"
Laura's eyes went wide, realizing her mistake. "N-nothing, papi," she stuttered, her cheeks flushing. She knew better than to use that language in front of him, but she couldn't help it. She was feeling rebellious and playful, something she hadn't felt in a long time.
Logan's expression softened, recognizing the innocence behind her outburst. He leaned in closer, his voice low and gentle. "You know better than to talk like that, Laura."
Her eyes met his, and she nodded, looking slightly ashamed. "Lo siento, LoganâŚ" (âIâm sorry, Loganâ) she murmured. Off Logan and Laura entering the car where the insides was filled with more stickers than ever. Laura had gone a bit overboard but she couldn't help herself, she was just too excited.
As they waited, Laura's eyes darted to the stickers in her hand. She glanced at Logan, who was staring ahead, and then back at the car's interior. An idea began to form in her mischievous mind. If she couldn't sticker the outside of the car, why not the inside?
Without a word, she leaned over and slapped a smiley face sticker right on Logan's stubbled cheek. He flinched in surprise, his eyes snapping to her in the rearview mirror. Laura giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Logan's scowl deepened, but there was a glint of amusement in his eyes that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Laura," he warned, his voice low and rumbling. "You little...!"
But she was already peeling off another sticker, this one in the shape of a cartoon sun. She leaned over the seat and stuck it on the top of his head. Logan's grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he couldn't hold back the laugh that bubbled up from his chest. Laura was a force to be reckoned with, that was for sure. He felt a pang of something warm and unfamiliar spread through him, something that had been buried deep beneath the layers of pain and regret for too long.
"You're gonna pay for this, kid," he said, his voice gruff but his eyes dancing with a hint of playfulness. Laura then planted a sticker onto his lips, silencing him temporarily. He reached back to grab her wrist, trying to avoid any more decorations on his face, but she was too quick.
"Gotcha," Laura giggled, dodging his hand and sticking a star-shaped sticker on the tip of his nose. The game was on, and Logan couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia, remembering the days when he would play with his own daughter. His heart swelled, and for a moment, the weight of the world lifted off his shoulders.
"Alright, that's enough," Logan said, his voice laced with affectionate exasperation. Laura stuck her tongue out playfully, but she knew when to quit. She retreated into her seat, her eyes shining with excitement as she watched him through the rearview mirror. The silence between them grew comfortable, filled with the occasional giggle from Laura and the soft hum of the engine.
Just as Logan was about to scold Laura again for the sticker on his nose, your silhouette appeared in the distance, walking briskly towards the car. Laura's eyes lit up, and she whispered, "Here she comes."
As you open the car door, and your eyes widened as you took in the sight of the sticker-covered dashboard. "What the-" you exclaimed, half laughing. Laura's giggles grew louder, and Logan's grumpy facade crumbled entirely, a reluctant smile spreading across his face.
"Laura had a bit of fun while we waited," he said, plucking the sticker off his nose and tossing it into the backseat. You stepped closer, taking in the rainbow of stickers that now adorned the interior.
"Who did this to you and your beloved car?" you asked, trying to keep a straight face. Laura looked at you with a proud grin, holding up her sticker-covered hands.
"It was Laura," Logan said, his tone a mix of annoyance and affection. "Couldn't resist the urge to... 'decorate'."
You looked at Laura, who was now sitting cross-legged in the backseat, her face beaming. "You did this?" you asked with your voice filled with amusement. Laura nodded vigorously, holding up the stickers as evidence.
"Well," you said, trying not to laugh. "It certainly does make the car more... lively." As you leaned in and kissed Logan on the cheek, noticing the glittery unicorn sticker Laura had stuck there. "And it looks like you're enjoying it too."
Logan rolled his eyes, but his grin gave him away. Laura clapped her hands in excitement. "Yeah, Papi's happy!"
You couldn't help but laugh at the sight of Logan with stickers all over his face. You leaned in and peeled the unicorn sticker off his cheek, pressing it onto Laura's forehead. "There," she said, "now you match the car."
Logan's eyes narrowed playfully. "You're next," he murmured, reaching behind the seat to grab a sticker. Laura squealed with laughter as you leaned back, dodging his grasp.
"Not if I can help it," you said, swiping the sticker out of his hand and sticking it onto his forehead instead. Laura clapped, her giggles turning into full-blown laughter as she watched the two adults act like children.
"Okay, okay, you got me" Logan said, raising his hands in surrender. "I guess we can leave it like this for now. But we're gonna need to clean this up before we get home." He puts his hands back down onto the steering wheel. His other hand reaches over to your thigh and giving it a squeeze before keeping it there, absentmindedly rubbing it.
Your eyes twinkled with mirth. "It's fine, honey. It's just stickers. Besides, it adds a bit of... personality to the car." Reaching down giving his hand a squeeze back as you smile at him sweetly.
Logan huffed, but his heart was warming up to the idea. Pulling his hand back then turning the key in the ignition and the engine roared to life. The car, once a symbol of their reality, now felt a little less dour. "Alright," he said, "but you're the one cleaning it up tomorrow."
You laughed and nodded. "Deal."
With that, Logan pulled out of the parking lot and onto the dark road. Laura's giggles had subsided into quiet contentment as she admired her handiwork, her eyes reflecting the colorful lights from the passing streetlights. Logan couldn't help but feel a swell of pride in his chest. Despite the stickers, this was a moment of pure happiness, a moment that seemed so rare these days. Knowing that both you and Logan are going to be married very very soon, filled you with more love than ever. Happy even.
You reached back and placed a hand on Laura's leg, giving it a gentle squeeze. Laura looked up, her expression softening as she took in your understanding smile. In that moment, the three of you felt like a real family, something Logan hadn't felt in a long, long time.
And off Logan pressing the gas engine and drove off from the parking lot from your workplace. Laura giggling as she watched the sticker-covered car in the side mirror. You couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, you knew you had to capture this moment. So with that, you grabbed your phone and took a few snapshots of the interior, the stickers glinting under the streets, Loganâs face that are filled with stickers and lastly, Laura, smiling happily in the back seat.She grabbed her phone and took a few snapshots of the interior, the stickers glinting under the street lights, Logan's face that are filled with stickers and lastly Laura, smiling happily in the back seat.
The ride home was filled with more laughter and light-hearted banter. Laura would occasionally stick a sticker on you or Logan, and while Logan would feign annoyance, it was clear he was secretly enjoying the bonding moment.
