Chapter 1: The Gaze
Logan approaches Veronica in the food court. "Hey"
Veronica shakes her head at Logan and responds, "You need to walk away." As she continues to walk away from him.
Logan continues to follow her to the empty table she had found. "Just…I need to apologize."
She settles her tray on the table and turns to Logan. "Great. Apology accepted. Now go. I'm meeting Piz, who, why the way, is the one you should be apologizing to." As she places her bag on the chair before she sits down on an empty chair and looks up at Logan who is standing.
"I am sorry, Veronica. I thought…well, you know what I thought." Logan is still trying to find the right words to apologize when he rudely gets interrupted by Gory who sits right in front of Veronica.
Logan is mad because the guy interrupted his conversation with Veronica but is confused when he places the listening device on the table. Gory turns Veronica's chair so she is looking straight at him, "I was hoping I'd see you. I didn't want to carry that around forever. You left it behind in my room. You know what? I'm glad we caught you on hidden camera. And I'm glad it's such a popular email attachment, because you're a real bitch. You know what you should do with your sudden popularity? Just lay back and enjoy it." Gory pats Veronica on the shoulder before he gets up from the table and walks over to his table where his toadies were waiting for him.
Logan comprehends that this was the asshole that videotaped Veronica and Piz. He is furious at this new discovery so he decides to go after him but Veronica walks over to him and grabs him by the shoulder, preventing him from walking over there. "Logan, don't. He's connected. Connected connected."
He seems a bit surprised that Veronica didn't do or say anything to defend herself against Gory. "Oh. Yeah, I was wondering. Didn't seem like you to shrug it off. Hey, so listen. Again...I apologize. I can be pretty dumb sometimes."
"It's a nice gesture, but it's gonna take some time this time." Veronica tells Logan and begins to walk away from him. Logan just nods his head in agreement.
Not comfortable with the response she gave him. Logan walks over to Gory pulls him by the shoulder and begins to punch him with all his might. Gory isn't able to throw one punch in because Logan is too quick with his fists.
Veronica is startled at first but just stood there stunned at the scene that was happening right in front of her. She is breathless. Logan was defending her honor. Logan continues to kick the crap out of Gory. Gory was laying on the floor when Logan threw a tray of food on his chest.
Gory tries to get up but Logan literary kicks his ass causing Gory to fall on the floor once more. Gory is laying with his back on the floor and a bloody cut on his left cheek when Logan asks, "Want to hear your friend apologize?"
Veronica is still a bit shock with what happened but responds, "I'm not interested in his apology. But I would like my pen back." Veronica reaches down and grabs her pen out of Gory's front pocket.
Logan wiped Gory's blood on his shirt. Gory looks straight at Logan from the floor and threatens, "Whoever you are, you're gonna die."
Logan smiles at Gory's remark and answers, "Yeah, some day." He then looks at Veronica who is smiling at him. They are able to hold their gaze for a couple of seconds but it felt a lot longer for both of them.
At that moment Logan turns around and sees Piz standing there. Piz had witnessed the whole scene and seemed a bit dumbfounded. "Ah, Piz. Just who I was looking for. Listen, man. I am truly sorry...for everything." Logan walks away triumphantly.
Veronica is watching him as he disappears into the crowd and out of the food court. She still can't believe everything that just happened and doesn't understand what that all means to her.
Piz looks over at her and sees she is still looking at Logan walk away. Veronica snaps out of it and quickly looks at Piz. Then he looks where Logan just stood moments ago and realizes Veronica has never looked at him the same way and probably never would. It was at that moment he comes to the realization he was only fooling himself thinking she would even try.
He looks back at her and she looks at him but her stare was of a guilty one.
Piz couldn't be there right now he needed to think things through. He gave Veronica a slight smile, "Sorry, I forgot I had to finish some work at the radio station and I just wanted to come tell you. I'll call you later." He walks over to her giving her a quick peck on the lips and walks out of the cafeteria.
Veronica just stood there because she didn't know what to say, she was still in shock with the gaze she had with Logan only moments earlier.
Later that night Dick came into the suite with a huge grin on his face. "Dude, I heard what happened, in the cafeteria today. Pound and explode, dude. It's still a thing." He says as he approached Logan with his hand up in the air expecting him to give him a high five.
"He deserved it! He made the video." Logan is sitting on the couch still mesmerized by the look Veronica had given him. One that he thought he wasn't going to see again.
"It was a royal beat down. Or so I heard. But you see they're a good thing because it keeps everyone else in line." Dick sits down next to Logan and looks at him.
"What?!" Logan asked surprised that Dick was still looking at him in that way.
"Nothing…Dude, so what does this mean? Are you back together with Ronnie?" Dick is very curious about this.
"Unfortunately, no." Logan seemed a bit depressed by that fact. "But, she gave me this look…"
"Dude, that is awesome!" Dick says with a lot of enthusiasm.
Logan couldn't help but chuckle at Dick's expression, "Yeah? Why is that?"
Dick looks at him a bit shocked and responds, "Duh! Dude, come on." He stops and gives him the look of this is obvious but Logan just stares at him blankly so he continues, "And I thought you were the smart one. She obviously still has a thing for you. I mean dude you defended her honor!"
Logan was shocked by Dick's comment who knew he had that in him.
Dick interrupts Logan's thoughts, "We have to go out and celebrate!" Dick says as he stands up from the couch and starts to walk towards the door.
"I am not planning on getting wasted tonight, Dick." Logan gives him a look like it's not gonna happen tonight.
"Dude, who said anything about drinking? Let's go catch some waves." Logan nods and both walk out of the hotel. Dick took his truck because both boards were already in the back.
Dick was a stop light nodding his head to the beat of the song that was currently playing. He really liked this song "Life Less Ordinary" by Carbon Leaf, so he puts the volume up. Logan also enjoys this song so he sings along:
♪ Live a life less ordinary
Live a life extraordinary with me
My face had said too much
Before our hands could even touch
To greet a 'hello'
(So much for going slow...)♪
At that moment the light had turned green and Dick began to drive again…
♪ A little later on that year
I told you that I loved you dear
What do you know?
This you weren't prepared to hear ♪
When all of a sudden, at that particular moment this car hits the passenger's side; making the car swerve a couple of times until it hit a light post on the driver's side.
♪ I'm a saddened man, I'm a broken boy
I'm a toddler with a complex toy
I've fallen apart, since the ambush of your heart ♪
TBC…
