Attention Fellow VM Fanfiction writers: It is almost Valentine's Day and an idea popped into my head. In this fic Logan gets some ideas from reading a book on how to romance his girlfriend Veronica. This is the first chapter. I would love if those of you who are interested would write a romantic situation between LoVe and post it with the title Operation Romance. I have no problems with whatever direction you go with it. I thought it would be interesting to read some of your romantic ideas around Valentine's Day. I will be writing a chapter for this story before Valentine's Day. I deliberately didn't put too much information about Logan or Veronica in the startup chapter so you can go crazy.
Operation Romance
Logan closes the book and sits looking thoughtfully out his bedroom window at the immaculately groomed yard. The pool sparkles in the bright California sunshine. When his mother suggested that he read the latest best seller by her favorite romance novelist, Logan had been negative. I mean, what self respecting young man willingly reads romance novels? However his mother is always on the lookout for her next project and she told Logan that she absolutely loves this latest story. The heroine is a middle aged woman who has had a lot of negative experiences in her life and has become closed to love. Lynn wants to play the lead and she asked Logan to read the book and let her know what he thinks. A little reluctantly Logan agreed to read the novel and true to his word, he settled in to get it over with after surfing and lunch with the guys. Veronica is busy tonight so he didn't feel like he would be losing anything but time if he read the book tonight. Thankfully Logan is an excellent reader with strong focus and a great memory for details. The first part of the book was slow and Logan had to force himself to keep reading but by the fourth chapter, Logan began to look forward to the next page. Surprising himself, he finished the book in one sitting.
He thinks about how his mother relates to the book and he can see why. His father has deliberately and systematically made his mother feel badly about herself. He fools around on her and then blames her looks on why he finds other women attractive. Logan doesn't get it but somehow that makes his father feel like more of a man.
Although he sees his mother in the lead character, he also sees Veronica. She has not had good dating experiences and they have caused her to be unsure about her own sexuality. She feels that her lack of experience could be a negative for them; she is worried that he will become bored with her. Of course she saw Lilly as vivacious and knew how men were attracted to her. Logan dated her for years and Veronica doesn't see how she could compare to Lilly and the other more experienced girls Logan had sex with.
The author has the woman find a man who makes her feel good about herself but it is a real journey for the lead character to come to believe that she is sexy and desirable. The special thing about the story is that the writer actually gives the reader a blueprint into how to make a woman feel loved and desired.
Logan shakes his head at the idea that reading a novel for his mother will give him some valuable insight into how to help Veronica. He may have to adjust his thoughts on reading romance novels. He had not thought of how they might show a man how to treat a woman; especially when he had an awful example of manhood while he was growing up. He thinks about some of the things the man in the story did to make the woman feel attractive, sexy and wanted. A slow smile crosses his handsome features; he can definitely do this. Operation romance is underway.
