AN: Thanks for all your reviews! I'm glad that you're enjoying it! Up next: an extended version of the hallway scene. Also, Logan and Veronica's thoughts.
Chapter 2- "Driver Ed"
"I'm not going to let the list of things I want to do before I die turn into a list of regrets".
Veronica smiled as she stared down at a sleeping Duncan. She checked the clock, saw how late it was, and quickly slid out of bed. She slipped into her clothes and tip-toed to the door.
Veronica had just stepped out into the hallway when she heard a door to her right close. "Our next door moaners," she thought to herself. She looked over to catch a glimpse and saw…Logan.
He looked surprised to see her and then a smirk came over his features as he sauntered closer.
"Hmm. What's different about you? Did you cut your hair or something? FYI, if the cuddling is the best part, he didn't do it right".
Veronica's face registered shock and then anger, "How is that any of your business?"
Logan paused in front of her, "Ah. So cuddling really is the best part".
"Just because we refused to out-moan you…"
Logan interrupted her with a devilish glint in his eye, "So you heard us. Is that what's got your panties…"
"The whole hotel could hear her. She's quite the actress," muttered Veronica.
"Actress?" Logan raised an eyebrow, "Those were 100 percent genuine bona fide moans".
Veronica glared at him as he put his arm above her head and leaned closer, "Don't you remember? Last summer? When I made a certain townie moan without even using my hands?"
Veronica blushed a deep red as Logan pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. He leaned closer and his lips brushed her ear as he whispered, "Think of that when you're all cuddly with Donut after an unsatisfying bout of boring sex".
He smirked and stepped back, turning on his heel, and whistling his way down the hall. Veronica sank against the wall for a moment, took a deep breath and grabbed her phone from her pocket.
"Room 1147," she said to the hotel clerk. A woman answered, but before Veronica could say anything, Duncan opened the door.
"Why didn't you wake me?" he asked sleepily.
"I have about fifteen minutes 'til my dad activates the homing device in my molar".
Logan slumped against the wall of the elevator as it took him down to the lobby. So Veronica and Duncan were having sex. The guilty look on Veronica's face when he saw her completely gave her away. But why was she guilty? Maybe she was finally feeling some regret for breaking up with him.
He booked room 1147 knowing that Duncan lived nearby. Knowing that Veronica would be there at some point. Hoping that he might run into her. Snark it up with her for a little bit. But he hadn't realized that the thought of Duncan and her…together…would have such an effect on him.
The elevators opened and Logan headed out into the hotel. He shouldn't have baited her. But he just wanted to see how she'd respond. He was hoping for that typical Veronica spunk. And he got it. But he also came away with too many memories.
Not only would Veronica probably be thinking of his words when she was with Duncan, he'd probably be recalling them every time he touched another girl.
"Damn Ronnie," he mumbled as he pulled out his keys and unlocked his car. As he started the engine he looked up to see Veronica dashing out of the hotel.
He smiled, "Someone missed her curfew".
Veronica was cursing under her breath as she ran to her car. She was cutting it close. As she crossed the street, she saw a familiar yellow beast in the parking lot. Her eyes locked with Logan's and he blew her a kiss before he pealed out of the lot.
Veronica stared after his car, took a shaky breath, and climbed into the LeBaron.
"Logan, you had to go and ruin what was meant to be a special moment," she whispered as she started driving home.
She couldn't erase his words from her memory. That hot summer night. In the back of her car.
"Shit shit shit," she cursed.
Just because things with Duncan weren't as steamy didn't mean…What she and Duncan had, now that was true love. Who needed passion?
And besides… Duncan wasn't as experienced as Logan. Logan was like the Casanova of Neptune. Maybe Duncan just needed practice…
Great, now she was comparing Duncan to Logan. When really there was no comparison. Logan was a jackass and Duncan was the great love of her life. Right?
And just who was Logan making moan in his hotel room? Someone from school? Someone random?
"Logan Echolls, I hate you," angrily stated Veronica as she pulled up to her apartment.
