A/N – I can work on two stories at one time. Sometimes. LOL, but seriously, I'm updating this one cause I updated Francy Pants twice already.
Anyway Happy Birthday zashleyrulez. I'll wish you a happy birthday on the other on too, if I update it tonight. (:
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Zoey101, sadly.
Chapter Four:
Surprisingly, Dana had done well not doing anything with Logan throughout the first week. Well, sort of. She hadn't snuck into his room once. She did try in the middle of the night once, but then she heard Quinn giggle, and she ran back to her room, completely disgusted. But, explaining that they were related was not as hard as she thought it would be. It only took about twenty minutes, and that included everyone's questions. Nobody suspected anything, seeing as they still fight constantly.
Sometimes, Logan almost couldn't help himself. He would see Dana in shorts and a bikini top, and almost completely lose it. But, he held it together. Even Zoey wasn't hard to convince that nothing was going on, as soon as she saw him and Quinn together, she knew him and Dana hadn't done anything. Only they had… And Dana still messes with his mind! She "accidentally" brushes against him, making it look casual to their friends, but he knows what she's doing. She is just so difficult.
Dana sits on the couch in the living room, at three AM, as she can't sleep. There is just too much room in the room next door. As she watches reruns of the old show, 'The Brady Bunch,' she thinks about what her and Logan had been doing.
This makes you a terrible friend, Cruz. What are you thinking? You have to stop. Even after they leave you can't do anything else with him. Tease him, whatever. Just no more helping him cheat on his girlfriend. Quinn is your friend.
She was brought out of her thoughts as she heard someone coming down the stairs. She keeps quiet though, watching the show.
"Cruz?" Dana looks over her shoulder and sees Logan standing behind her.
"Hm?" Is all he receives back.
"Why are you up?"
"I could ask you the same thing." She doesn't know why her voice comes out sounding vicious.
"Well, someone's snippy. Is it your time of the month?" Dana looks at him again, wide eyed.
"Never ask a girl that, stupid! That will get you hit." Dana whisper/yelled back.
"I don't care. Tell me why you're up." Logan's back to being a jerk, obviously.
"Well, there's too much noise in the room next to mine. Can't fall asleep. Same old, same old." Dana rolled her eyes, and Logan smirked.
"You can hear that?" Dana nodded. "Hm, I must be good." He's so egotistical.
"Or maybe, you're so terrible, she's screaming in terror." Dana said, not really paying attention to him anymore. "Go away now, or something."
"No, I can be down here. It's my house too." Just to prove his point he flopped right next to her on the couch. She made a disgusted face and moved over. "What's wrong with you? Not happy I have someone else that I spend time with now?" He asked.
"No, Quinn's your girlfriend. I couldn't care less. I just don't want to be near you. It's not like we were doing anything but having fun." She said back, with a shrug. Sure she wanted more, but he clearly does not.
"Well, our fun can be continued." Dana glared at him.
"You're disgusting and you'll never change, will you? You have a girlfriend, and she happens to be my friend. I can't believe I did that in the first place, she wouldn't do something like that to me. What we started was a mistake, and now it's done." Logan was surprised, and slightly hurt, but he stood and made his way upstairs without another word.
How could she say everything was a mistake? Maybe we shouldn't have done it while I have a girlfriend, but it still wasn't a mistake. Maybe it was. Whatever it's over and done with now. Those were Logan's thoughts as he climbed into his bed, next to a sleeping Quinn. Sighing softly, he closed his eyes.
Dana, on the other hand, was still watching 'The Brady Bunch' but she was also thinking about how hard that was. No, she decided, that was the right thing to do. She is no longer teasing him or anything, she going to act like nothing ever happened. Dana turned off the TV and headed up to bed, thinking about how Marsha and Greg were perfect for one another.
When Dana walked downstairs the next morning, everyone was already at the table. Lila and Dustin were sitting beside each other, talking quietly. Dana hadn't been surprised when they instantly hit it off. She sat in between Zoey and Logan, acting as if nothing happened last night.
Logan watched as Dana walked slowly down the stairs, rubbing her eyes. He saw, when she got to the table, her eyes widen in the slightest when she saw where she was supposed to sit. She sat anyway, acting like he didn't exist. Which kind of pissed him off.
"Morning, sleeping beauty. Or should I say monster?" So, he would piss her off too.
"Don't start with me this early in the morning, asshat." Lila looked kind of surprised, she could tell when they were acting, but this time they were serious. That was all that was said, and everyone kept eating.
After breakfast, everyone headed back to their rooms to shower and get ready for the day. They never do anything exciting, they tan and swim, and sometimes they go out. Today will just be another lounge day.
Dana was just finished changing, when she heard a soft knock on the door, yelling come in as she sat on her bed, she waited for someone to enter.
"Dana, can I ask you something?" Lila.
"I guess. What is it?" Dana patted her bed, telling her to sit.
"Why are you and Logan fighting? I could always tell you guys didn't mean it, but this morning at breakfast you did." Lila sounded almost as if she was going to cry.
"We fought last night, about something stupid. No big deal." Dana is trying to make her feel better.
"No, it is a big deal. Is it because Quinn is here?"
"Lila, if you're talking about what I think you're talking about, no, I don't like your brother like that. And what we were doing, was something that we shouldn't have been. He has a girlfriend, that is my friend, and he needs to be faithful to her. I shouldn't have helped him cheat on her, it's not cool. When I said it was a mistake last night, he got all mad and left." Lila cuts her off here.
"You said it was a mistake?" She wondered.
"Yes, because it was." Dana answered. Enter stage right, Logan.
"Lila, out now." Lila looked between the two of them, before jumping off the bed, and running out the door. Which Logan then slammed. "Stop telling my sister things." Dana looked away defiantly.
"Don't tell me what to do. Get out." She couldn't be around him right now.
"No. Dana, you're my guilty pleasure. The one thing that takes my mind off of all the bad things. We'll probably never be anything more than makeout buddies. We don't go together right. But, I don't want to stop what we started." He wasn't done, but Dana turned to him with a look so cold, it just froze him.
"No, Logan. I don't care if you don't want to stop. It's already been done. I'm not helping you cheat on your girlfriend. I'm not that kind of person, sorry." She doesn't sound very sorry.
"Why the hell do you have to be so difficult?" He yelled at her standing and crossing the room.
"Me?" She also stood, stepping closer to him. "You're the one being difficult! I'm trying to do the right fucking thing!" Uh?
"Maybe you should stop trying to do the right thing, and live a little!" They just keep getting closer.
"I live a lot. I just don't want something like that on my conscience!" They were now toe to toe with one another, Dana looking up at him, him looking down at her. Logan lowered his voice.
"I don't care." Before she could say anything else, he'd closed the gap between them, kissing her with all his rage and frustration to fuel the fire.
Logan could feel her start to kiss him back, and knew that she was about to break, when she finally did.
Dana fought hard not to, but she ended up kissing him. She kissed him to tell him she hated him, and to tell him how pissed off she was. And then she came to her senses, and pushed him away. She stared at the floor for a moment, before getting her bearings and looking him in the eye.
"Please stop." Was all she could muster, and even that came out in a whisper.
"Why? You obviously don't really want me to." Logan stepped toward her again, but she stepped back.
"I can't, I can't do this." Dana's scared. Not of him, but of what he does to her, and how this would ruin her friendship with Quinn. Thinking about that, she let a tear drip down her face. Only one.
"Dana…" Was all Logan could say. She shook her head, and looked away.
"Please, just get out." She whispered. Dana couldn't have him around her, she knew she would be fine. She just needed him not near her right now. He left, no argument, no nothing.
The last few days everyone was there, Logan and Dana spent avoiding each other. But, with their friends leaving in the morning, they would have to spend at least a little time together.
All nine of them sat in the living room watching TV. The older kids decided that since Lila and Dustin weren't that much younger than them, they could chill. Nobody was really talking about anything interesting, just making small talk with one another about the most random things. All of them were content with this though, as they were together, and they had the best friends. None of them got any sleep that night, staying up just to spend the last little bit of time they had together, with each other. Logan and Dana didn't talk at all throughout the night, or through the goodbyes the next morning.
Four hours after the group left, Dana still couldn't get Zoey's words out of her head. I saw the way you two flirted at first, even though it was subtle. Dana, just be careful. Oh, and I want details. Just so I know. Dana had not answered just nodded and let go of her. She didn't want to hear that voice in her head anymore, she just wanted to be left alone about what happened between them. Sure, she wants to restart it, but she won't, she's too good of a friend.
The only reason Logan wasn't talking to Dana was because he felt bad for pressuring her like he had been. He just had not had the time to apologize for it yet. So, sighing, he stood from his bed and made his way to Dana's closed bedroom door. He knocked and waited until she said come in to answer.
"Hey, can we talk?" He asked her gently.
"Um, I guess. What do ya want?"
"I just wanted to say that I was sorry for trying to make you do something you didn't want to." Dana looked kind of shocked that he'd bring it up, but then she answered.
"Look, Logan, you didn't make me do anything I didn't want to. It wasn't just your fault. I have to take half of the blame for this. I just had to stop it because you're going out with my friend. I didn't really want to, and I think you know that, but I didn't want to risk getting caught, or hurting her." Honesty is the best policy right?
"We weren't going to get caught. I told you that already." He told her.
"You can't guarantee that! Your sister caught us; Zoey caught us! Who knows who else will catch us?" She looked genuinely concerned about this.
"No one would have caught us. We were usually in my room, in the middle of the night." Dana cuts him off here.
"Yeah, that's another thing, I refuse to ever do anything in your bed again. After the things I've heard; gross, just gross." Logan smirked at her, and flopped onto her bed.
"I guess we'll just have to do things in your room then." She gave him a look that said, I told you no. "I'm kidding, chill. But, your bed is really comfortable. I'm sleeping here tonight."
"Uh, no! You're leaving!" Dana was not having this.
"Uh, yeah. I am sleeping here. I'm not moving." He gave her a so there look, and got under her blanket. Dana grumbled softly to herself knowing she was not leaving her own room, so she too got under her blanket, and they both took a nap. It is only two in the afternoon.
Before she fell asleep Dana had one last though, 'should I start this make out buddy thing again, or should we just stay like this?' She took one more look at him, and drifted off to sleep.
Chapter Four.
A/N - They could be done making out. Maybe. I don't like cheaters, so I'm thinking about this carefully.
Anyway, I didn't get around to updating Francy Pants today, but still Happy Birthday zashleyrulez! I hope it was a good one!
Love and Rockets,
- Katie. (:
