Since they come first this was put on hold. I know LoVe Fans are just going to LOVE this! Seriously. I hope I haven't given away much. This one is a bit shorter than the rest. Oh well on with the tale. Vm characters are property of the genius Rob Thomas, and the songs aren't mine either they just work...
Say You're Mine- Kate Voegele
I bit my tongue for too long
My patience gets a bit thin
I gotta tell you the way that it is
I think you know this is something different we've started
We're more than ordinary
There's something about the way that the world looks
Brighter when I'm next to you
No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say say say you're mine, mine
You're mine
Let's get ourselves outta town
We'll take the last train out
I got a million things I wanna know
It's easy baby with us there's nowhere we can't go
And this love it doesn't scare me
'Cause I'm running out of reasons not to feel this
I can tell you're dying to try
No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say say say you're mine, mine
You're mine
Don't you wonder what it'd be like
Underneath the streetlights
You and me
With the city wrapped around us
If no one ever found us
It's fine with me
No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say say say you're mine, mine
You're mine
Veronica
It was 7:00 AM, Veronica read her clock as she continued pacing in her room, phone in hand. She hadn't slept all night instead all she could do was think about Logan. About the words he and about how much she loves him. Veronica knew she had to tell him. She knew that not only did her happiness depend on her admission, but Logan's as well.
However every time she tried to call him fear crept up on her like a thief in the night. Stealing every ounce of courage she possessed. It was the same fear that stopped her so many times before. Veronica was determined not to let her fears govern her happiness. She would win this time along with Logan. But she wasn't sure if she should call him or go to wherever he was and tell him. She decided to call. It rang for a second then she heard a recording. "The number you have dialed has been changed or is no longer in service…" Veronica didn't let recording continue. She knew her only option was to pay another visit to Dick. However this time would be different, this time she would get her answers.
Forty-five minutes later she was on her way to the Neptune Grand. Veronica packed a bag, she wanted to be prepared to go see Logan immediately after.
While she drove, Veronica called Piz. She knew that if she really loves Logan she couldn't stay with Piz. Even though she didn't want to hurt Piz, Veronica would rather hurt Piz than continue to hurt Logan. Veronica hated the idea of breaking up with Piz over the phone. But after Piz being in New York, he went home to Beaverton. Veronica wasn't going to see him until school started. She had put off long enough and it couldn't wait. After the third try of calling and getting his voicemail, Piz answered.
"Hey Veronica! I miss you so much!" he exclaimed. Veronica didn't want to delay the inevitable. She felt the best thing would be to rip the band aid off fast so she dove right in.
"Look Piz, I can't continue this any longer. You are a great guy but I love Logan. I always have. I shouldn't have allowed this to go on as it did. It wasn't fair to you or him. I'm sorry but it's over. Goodbye."
With that she ended the call. Veronica felt like a heartless bitch. She knew she couldn't give her heart away when she never got it back. Veronica didn't want it back. It had always belonged to Logan. Long before either on of them knew it.
She pulled up at the Grand, parked, went to Dick's room and knocked.
After a while Dick answered.
"Oh, it's you." he said, sternly and started to close the door but Veronica stopped him. Hello, déjà vu, she thought.
"Look Dick, I know that you are just trying to be a good friend but I have to see him." She said as she handed Dick the book Logan wrote.
"What is this?" Dick asked. Honestly he knew exactly what it was. Logan called him and told him about it. Logan also wanted to ask Dick for permission to write about him and Cassidy. Dick told him that he was okay with it but he was sure Veronica wouldn't be.
"It's the book Logan wrote. I'm sure he told you about it. I really need to talk to him. He deserves to know that I love him. I should've told him the truth long ago. I tried but I was scared. Don't you understand?" Veronica was desperate, she was laying all of her chips on the table and not letting fear stop her.
Dick had heard enough, he walked back into the room to the end table. He grabbed a piece of paper and went in search for a pen. Finally he scribbled something on the paper and gave it to Veronica. Then he closed the door.
Veronica looked at the piece of paper Dick gave her. There was a New York address written on it.
"THANK YOU!" She yelled at the closed door and ran to the elevator.
As she went to her car she called Mar's Investigations hoping Mac would answer. After a week of helping the P.I. firm during the summer, Keith hired Mac. Mac loved it and prove to be an asset.
"Mar's Investigations, this is Cindy." Mac felt it was more professional to go by her first name.
"Hey, Mac its Veronica. Do you have a minute?" she asked tentatively. They had become quite busy.
"Yeah what do you need?" Mac asked.
"Well I need you to order a plane ticket to New York for as soon as possible. You can use the credit card." Veronica said.
"Can do! So… What's in New York?" Mac asked. Mac didn't need to ask. She knew it was only a matter of time before Veronica came to her senses and went to see Logan.
"Well Dick told me where Logan went. I have to go see him. I need to talk to him." She said.
"I know just wanted to hear you say it. There is a flight leaving at noon. You can pick up your boarding pass at the counter. Good luck, Bond." Mac said, enthusiastically.
"Thanks I'll see you when I get back." Veronica said and hung up the phone as she drove to the airport.
Seven hours later she was leaving LaGuardia Airport. She got into a taxi and gave the driver the address. Forty minutes later the taxi stopped at it's destination. Veronica paid the fare and got out. She stopped in front of the building, Veronica was nervous. She couldn't understand why. After all she was only going to see Logan. Sure Logan was the only guy she truly loved. Same guy who loves her and who is constantly protecting her. Who even wrote a book about her. However Veronica felt her fear return to gnaw at her. She pushed it out of her mine, took a deep breath and walked into the building. Veronica walked out of the elevator and down the hall towards Logan's door and knocked. Logan opened the door ad saw Veronica. He couldn't help but let a small smile form on his lips. More than anything he wanted to pull her into his arms but he couldn't.
"Hi Logan," Veronica said, timidly as she felt her nervousness return.
"Veronica, what are you doing here?" he asked , trying not to appear hopeful. She's with Piz, he thought.
"Isn't it obvious? It's one day." she said smiling and closing the distance between them, but only slightly.
She can't mean… No she's with Piz, he thought.
"What do you mean, one day?" Logan asked as he swallowed slowly.
"Do I have to spell it out for you? I guess I do. Do you remember what you wrote in that email to me? About one day being ready to admit to you?" Veronica said and Logan nodded. Then Veronica continued. "I love you, Logan Echolls. It has always been you that I want, and it always will be. So many times I have wanted to tell you and I haven't because I've been too afraid. I have seen people claim that they love someone then end up hurting them. I didn't want that to happen to us. I love you." Veronica said.
"What about Piz?" Logan asked. He couldn't help the look on his face, he was smiling form ear to ear.
" I broke up with him. Granted it was only about eight hours ago but like I said it will always be you." She exclaimed.
Logan pulled Veronica into his arms and kissed her. When the kiss broke he held her in his arms hoping that he wasn't dreaming. He had dreamt of this day so many times. However he thought he would have to wait a lot longer for it to come true.
"Say it, that you're mine. Logan said.
"I'm yours, always." Veronica said then kissed him as Logan pulled her inside and closed the door.
