But, Delaney was clearly in a very different head space than he was after it all played out. It was clear in the way that she paused before answering the question of whether or not he could join her. Maybe there was a part of her that had actually considered turning him away.<br/><br/>Perhaps her niceties had an expiration date, and were only really in effect for as long as she supposed that they might wind up together in the end. Hadn’t it been her who said that their conversation would be better to have in person? Maybe that was only the case for as long as the chat would end with him choosing her.<br/><br/>It didn’t seem to matter anymore; his sentiments about how if the timing of it all had worked out differently, then they would be having a rather different talk. But she didn’t seem to want that talk anymore. He had to wonder why. What was it that had changed her mind? Was it that she somehow saw Rhonda’s flowers?<br/><br/>Delaney tried to say that it was fine, but he could read the expression on her face even with her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses. Apparently, she had her closure on him. Logan turned to observe her better as she pulled her sunglasses off and said that their door was closed from here on out.<br/><br/>He supposed that was the most fair thing to do, wasn’t it? Still, he couldn’t hide the dejected look on his face. He frowned fully, reconsidering the idea that he could just pack his shit up and go home and be done with this entire ordeal, if he wanted. Even with his final words, she didn’t seem too phased.<br/><br/>Logan sighed greatly. “I’ve got to admit, this isn’t quite how I thought our chat would go.” He gave her a searching look, hoping to find any traceable recognition from their date together the other day. A thought occurred to him just as he had started to stand up, keeping him from doing so. “No, I don’t think you will. Not if you’re planning to go after the biggest tosser here.”<br/><br/>He gave her a hardened look. “Right, maybe it’s not up to me to tell you this. Maybe it’s none of my business. But, if you think I suddenly stopped caring about you, you couldn’t be more wrong.” Logan shook his head, looking back to where Mark had swiftly left his chat with River. What was the purpose of that, then? He jumped all over the girl, just to walk away when Logan did?<br/><br/>“Mark isn’t here for love.” He flatly said. He looked back to Delaney. Logan was being completely honest in his own perceptions and feelings. It was clear he wasn’t trying to be malicious or hoping to stir the pot for no discernible reason. “When he first spoke to me, we talked about the girls he’d be taking out.”<br/><br/>“Once he got to Rhonda, he said he’d be sure to let me know if he thought she was worth pursuing,” Logan chuckled an angry sound. “I reminded him that he should consider the girl’s feelings too.” He shook his head. “Mark’s playing this like a game. And he’s terrible at it. If you wind up with him, you won’t stay here. And it’ll be his fault. He’ll drag you down until you’re covered in mud. And he won’t feel bad about it, either.” Logan shrugged a shoulder.<br/><br/>“Did he feel bad about what he did to Rhonda at the competition? Did he feel bad about egging me on?” Logan shook his head, effectively answering the questions for Delaney. “When he first got here and I asked him about who he fancied, he talked about how the show was mental (though he said “crazy”) and how he wouldn’t date three women in six months, never mind three women in the same day.”<br/><br/>Logan chuckled. Yep, Mark really and honestly had said that. “Then we found out why at the comp, didn’t we? It’s because he’d rather bang three in the same family in the same weekend.” He’d also said he wasn’t there to fuck shit up for other people. But it seemed to Logan, that was all the prick had been doing since he got here.<br/><br/>“He even spoke about his game plan to me.” Logan was keeping his voice low, but it was evident that the more he shared, the more upset he was becoming. “Said he hoped to make a ‘quick connection’ so that he could stay in the villa for as long as possible.” Maybe that alone wasn’t enough to convince Delaney of anything. So, Logan turned in his chair to face her more directly.<br/><br/>“He’s here for the money. He doesn’t give a shit about any of us in here.” Logan was trying to get through to her. He needed to try. And this was probably his last chance to do so. “Look at his track record. He had a date with Grace who wouldn’t speak to him after, he had a date with Elsa and now she won’t even look at him, then Rhonda, who he basically assaulted on live telly.”<br/><br/>Logan raised his brows, turning his head away with a scoff. “Yeah, sounds like a right winner if you ask me.” He said, sarcastically. Another sigh left him as he wondered if all of this was being wasted on the girl beside him. He had to reconsider that when he’d first met her, he thought she was playing a bit of a game, too. Maybe they were all game players here.<br/><br/>“He’s just looking for a quick couple. It’s no wonder if he’s trying to hook up with you. That is, when he’s not flirting his bollocks off with the pizza delivery girl.” He gestured to River with his chin. “It’s because you’re not in a couple.” He gave her a look. He hoped she knew that he was right. “Because if you want to stay as much as him, you’ll have to couple up with him. At least until someone better comes along.” Logan hoped someone better would - and soon.<br/><br/>Part of him wondered if Mark was only after Delaney because it’d mess him up. Admittedly, seeing them together was something he didn’t think he could actually stomach. “Just… think on it.” He added, then paused to see if she’d add anymore, or if he should get up and go.
