AS ALWAYS READ ENJOY & REVIEW:) THE MORE FEEDBACK THE BETTER !

"Alone again" I hear Logan say from behind.

"Naturally." I reply as I spin around to face him.

"Well you won't mind me joining you then." He said as he slid into the booth not waiting for my response.

"So if it isn't my one true love." He said jokingly but we both know it was true. "What brings you back to Neptune and when did you become such a party animal Ronnie?" He asked calling me by the nickname only he and Dick Casablancas used.

"Mac & Wallace's graduation is this weekend and I couldn't miss it." I explained "And as for being a party animal I have have New York to thank for that." I told him with smile.

"Oh yeah Hearst graduation, I'll be there as well rooting like the proud friend I am for Dick. Who would've thought he'd make it to college let alone graduate." Logan responded and I nodded agreeing with him. "Bummer Ronnie, I kind of thought you were out there on the floor putting on a show for me." He added giving me a smirk.

"Don't flatter yourself Echolls, how would I even know you'd be here tonight." I asked raising an eyebrow

It kinda made me blush that he was checking me out while I was moving my body perfectly to the rhythm. If I had known he was watching I would've put an extra twist in my hips.

"Why wouldn't I be here at my own club?" He asked knitting his eyebrows together as he took a sip of my drink.

"This is your club!" I asked rather loudly. Now I get what Wallace meant by "it's about who you know".

"You didn't know I thought Wallace would've mentioned it." Logan shrugged.

"He hinted but didn't directly say it was you. And since when did you and Wallace become so chummy?" I asked as my curiosity peeked.

"Let's just say he helped me through a tough time awhile back and now I repay him by hooking him and his friends up with VIP privileges at any one of my many establishments."

"A modern day Lucy and Ethel." I said teasingly.

"I've missed your wit Mars." He said as he brushed a piece of hair out of my face. His touch sent chills through my body causing me to whimper slightly. I closed my eyes as his scent evaded my space, he smelled exactly the same as he did back when we were an item.

He smiled and removed his hand from my face. I couldnt help but wonder if he heard my involuntary whimper. While part me was relieved he stopped the other half wanted his hands to explore the rest of me.

"How about we have dinner at my place tomorrow night? I promise to behave unless instructed otherwise." He said giving me a seductive grin as he wrote down his address.

"I'll be there at 8." I said taking the piece of paper and stuffing it in my bra.

"Until then Mars." Logan said giving me a kiss on the cheek before exiting the booth.

"What was that about?" Mac asked curiously as she slid into the booth.

"Nice of you to return I could've used you as a distraction. Being alone with him made it hard for me keep my hormones in check." I said soundly a little flustered.

"Sorry there was a-ah long wait for the restroom." Mac said sounding rather suspicious.

"Oh really" I said eying her rather closely. "Then explain that freshly planted hickey on your neck Ms. Mackenzie and the smudged lipstick." I said after observing her carefully. Although my business cards say otherwise, I was still a PI at heart.

"Uh I can explain." Mac said blushing almost immediately.

"Spill it! Who's this mystery man or woman?" I questioned raising my eyebrow as I said the last part aloud.

"OMG Veronica! You think I was with a woman!" Mac laughed

"Hey all I know is you said you were going to the "Ladies" room so idk." I said trying to contain my laughter.

"Sheesh Mars I thought you gave up being up a PI, but fine if I tell you who it was pinky promise me you won't flip" Mac said holding out her pinky.

"Scouts honor" I said as I interlocked my pinky with hers. "Now spill woman!"

"It was Dick." Mac said barely over a whisper.

"Come Again?" I asked wanting to make sure I heard correctly.

"It was Dick! You know as in Casablancas." Mac said this time a little louder.

To say that I was surprised was an understatement.

"Well umm uh" I stammered. "How did this come about? I wanna know everything." I asked after finally getting my words together.

Mac sighed and explained "He needed help to pass his midterms last semester and being that I am pretty smart I offered my assistance. Afterwards he tried showing his gratitude by constantly asking to take me out and I refused all 5 offers. But one afternoon he saw me asleep in the library, I had run myself ragged from tutoring all morning. He suggested we go grab something to eat and give my brain a rest, but I had another session in 45 minutes. So he left and to my surprise came back with coffee and burgers. We just sat and talked I even ended up canceling my tutoring session because the conversation was that great. He's not as immature as before this is a different Dick and I think I'm falling for him V. These past 6 months I've spent with him are the happiest I've been in a long time." Mac finished

I wrapped my head around what Mac informed me and from the way she lit up when speaking about him tells that she's in love. Who would've guessed my best friend and Dick Casablancas? Certainly not me.

"If he's as different as you say then I have to see this for myself. Dick Casablancas in rare form is a must see." I told Mac as we headed out to leave the club.

"Who says you're the only one who can turn a former psychotic jackass into a half decent human being." Mac asked raising an eyebrow.

"Touché Q, Touché." I responded as we burst into laughter.

I arrived at Logan's fashionably late on account of I couldn't figure out what to wear. So after trying on several dresses I decided to just stick with the norm; jacket shirt, jeans and of course my infamous combat boots.

I knocked on the door and was greeted by an adorable red headed girl.

"Hi I'm Sophie, you must be Marshmallow, come on in." She spoke and I couldn't help but snicker at the name she referred to me as.

"That's me." I said as I followed Sophie to the kitchen.

"Uncle Logan Marshmallow is here!" She yelled out to Logan who was on the deck.

"Well hello Marshmallow I see that you've met my niece Sophie." Logan spoke as he walked in the kitchen wearing a kiss the cook apron.

"Yeah I did, and maybe you can help me figure out why she thinks my name is Marshmallow." I asked.

"Oh I don't really think that's your name I know it's Veronica, I just thought that if I called you that then maybe it would bring back old memories of you and my uncle Logan. Then maybe you guys might get back together." Sophie butted in and blurted out.

She obviously caught Logan off guard because he almost choked on his drink. Im positive my face was no longer pale but now a bright red, alll I could do was smile.

"Ok Sophie I think it's time for you to say goodnight to Marshma- I mean Veronica." Logan instructed

"Goodnight Veronica" Sophie said as she turned to go upstairs but turned back around to give me a hug then proceeded to her room.

"Cute kid." I say as I take my jacket off and follow Logan onto the deck.

"She obviously adores you, you've been here for five minutes and you already have my niece under your spell." Logan told me. "Ever since Trina went to rehab Sophie has had a hard time letting woman into her life but you she likes. But can you blame her?"

Over dinner we talked more than we ate. I filled him in on my life in the big apple and he informed me about how he managed to get his life together and started his own business. He even told me about how he ended up becoming Sophie's legal guardian. He taught her how to read which he did by giving her old letters I used to write to him. I used to sign each letter "love your sweet Marshmallow" hence her calling me Marshmallow.

"I'm really impressed Logan." I say as we head back in to get away from the night chill.

"How so Mars?" He asks

"Well the last time I saw you, you were a hot headed, spoiled, maniacal, half decent human being with a lot of maturing to do." I told him honestly.

"Ouch, you always were a straight shooter." Logan said pretending to be hurt by my comment.

"But." I continued "Fast forward 3 years and not only are you owner of a chain of nightclubs, you've grown a lot and it shows. You even took in your 5 year old niece, you seem to have that hot head of yours on straight." I teased

"Why thank you Ronnie that means a lot coming from you. Actually part of my growth was you leaving Neptune. Don't get me wrong you leaving crushed me but a little birdie knocked some sense into me. So I got my life together. Crazy as it may be I thought that if I got my shit straight that whenever we met again in the future you'd want me back. After all our story was 'epic'" Logan confessed.

I sat quietly as I soaked in Logan's confession. I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about him while I was in NY. This love we have for each other just doesn't fade away. I knew what I was about to do meant I was about to take another ride on the rollercoaster of epic love.

I took my hand and caressed his chin then made my way across his lips. I leaned in and pressed my lips against his without hesitation. We kissed for what seemed like an eternity before I broke the kiss.

"Are you sure you want to get swept up in Hurricane Veronica again, you really think we can make it work this time?" I asked

"No one writes songs about the ones that come easy." Logan said with a smile.

And that was all I needed to hear as we embraced for another passionate kiss. As an overly excited Sophie quietly cheered as she peered from the top step.
