Startled, Logan asked, “Do you like these?”
Lola never tried them, so she could only say, “Let’s give it a try.”
Full of confidence, Logan replied, “Allow me to keep you company. I bet you will be scared later on.”
However, that couldn’t be any further from the truth. Either it was because Lola was the brave and adventurous type, or her previous job groomed her for stressful situations, she didn’t even break a sweat, seemingly almost unaffected even after two rounds of the games.
On the other hand, Logan wasn’t faring so well. He led a sheltered life, and he wasn’t accustomed to manual labor, so he never needed to physically exert himself. Thus, after a ride on the roller-coaster and gravitron, his knees were about to give out. With his face pale and heart racing, he had to lean against a tree at the exit for support while he was catching his breath, whereas Lola patted him on his back. “I wasn’t expecting someone like you to be afraid of this. Man up!”
Waving his hand, Logan stubbornly denied her claim. “Who’s afraid of this?! I’m not afraid at all! I just…” He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “My stomach feels weird! We’re being thrown all over the place while on the roller coaster and gravitron, so my stomach isn’t feeling that great. That’s all.”
Upon hearing what he said, Lola chuckled, but she didn’t expose his lie as she knew he was trying to save his dignity. After some rest, Lola was ready for another game. She didn’t actually need Logan to come with her, so Logan could in fact wait for her outside, but he insisted on keeping her company despite his fear. “No, I have to go with you.”
Seeing that her face was red, it was apparent that she was feeling embarrassed, which Logan found attractive. While she used to be a tomboy, she was finally displaying a more feminine side to her.
Although he was getting more accustomed to the thrilling rides, Logan nearly puked when he got off this one, his heart pounding and his face completely pale. With his back hunched, he spent some time to suppress the nauseating feeling in him while Lola patted him on his back to help soothe him.
Despite how haggard he looked, Lola felt safe with him, as he was willing to keep her company even though he knew the rides would give him a hard time. Judging from his behavior, Lola figured that he should be a reliable man.

Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
