AN: Just a little idea I had. ... It's a oneshot. I've always loved that song, so I had to put it in here. Thanks to those reading my story "Once erased from existence". I'll update soon, I just had to write this oneshot inbetween :).

Better not tell her, that I was your lover
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
I'm not those initials in your diary
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
"So you're leaving?", I stated the obvious.
"Yup", he said his gaze not leaving my eyes, "Christine wanted to spend Christmas with her parents."
I nodded looking towards the door behind him where the mentioned one already waited for him.
"See you soon then", I said and hugged him. Before I released him again.
"Have your fun with Scooter", Logan said faking a smile.
For a moment I could see right through his eyes and he must've seen through my soul as well.
"Can we go now?", I heard Christine calling.
"Have fun", I said flashing Logan one last smile before I turned to leave.
I went up the stairs and he left the mansion with her.
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still
It was several moments later that I reached the huge window at the first floor. I just stood there hugging myself and saw them riding off in the cold winter evening.
I sighed. Life just couldn't be easy. I had Scott, Logan just recently started dating Christine but him and me still shared our little secrets.
It had been half a year since we'd been home from our first mission, in Spain, after the events of Liberty Island.
It wasn't just that physical attraction that we had. It was so much more than that.
But life was complicated. I was engaged. He was dating someone and every once in a while we had to save the world.
Maybe sometime later it could work out between us. But right now wasn't the right time. I knew that.
I stood there for a few more minutes until I heard Scott calling, "Jean?"
"Coming", I answered as I took one last look on the tracks the motorcycle had left before I turned around and put on the best fake smile I could come up with.
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper
The promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I'd die for your love
That I still...love...you
