April Showers

Part One

"Looks like its going to be a rough one out there tonight, ladies and gentlemen. With strong winds and rain rolling in, it'd be a good idea to stay put for the night."

Lulu flipped the radio off and continued cleaning the counter. The TV and radio stations had been talking about this storm for a week now and by the looks of it outside, it wasn't going to disappoint. It had been raining on and off all day, which in turn caused it to be a very slow day at Kelly's. Now, it had been raining for about twenty minutes straight and it didn't look like it would let up anytime soon.

"Great, just great." Lulu Spencer muttered to herself. She didn't know what made her agree to cover Kelly's all day, but now she was really regretting it. Not only had she been on her feet for close to twelve hours, but the storm had been keeping people away, and if the day moved that slow that only meant that the night would be moving even slower. All she wanted to do right now was close up, head home and crawl into her nice warm bed.

Lulu looked up when she heard the sound of the door opening. Lady luck was definitely not on her side today. Putting on, what she assumed, was the fakest smile possible she greeted the one and only Logan Hayes. "Logan. What can I get for you?"

"Just some coffee." He said as he took a seat at the counter. Great, he thought. This was just his luck. After a long ass day of being Anthony Zacchara's little lap boy, he had to run into the one person that he didn't want to see. All he'd wanted was a nice warm cup of coffee and a place to sit for a while; he took his chances by going to Kelly's. He should of figured she'd be there, after all he'd never been that good at gambling.

It had been exactly two months to the day that he and Lulu had officially broken up. If you wanted to call it that. He knew that before that day her mind had already been made up, she'd chosen the wanna-be mobster boy over him. It wasn't the fact that she hadn't picked Logan, it was the fact that Johnny was a dangerous man, and despite how badly she'd hurt him, he still cared for her safety. From the beginning he'd had his hunch about Johnny, but he'd never actually had proof – until recently. He'd uncovered some incriminating evidence that pointed to Johnny and his sister, Claudia, being behind young Michael Corinthos' shooting.

Lulu set an empty coffee cup down in front of him and poured him some coffee. He watched as steam rose up from the cup and almost surrounded Lulu's face. He'd always been amazed by her simple beauty, but today she looked all the better. Her hair was lazily pulled back into a ponytail and to him in looked like she had no trace of make up on. She wore those jeans that he loved – the ones that clung to her in the right places.

Get a hold of yourself, Logan. He thought to himself. Just finish this cup of coffee and you'll be on your way.

Well, not if Mother Nature had anything to say about it.
