Oh. My. Gosh. I am soooo sorry for taking so long to update! Tons of things have been going on with me lately, and I just haven't had the time to really think about what I had written. Well a little while ago, I finally just sat on my bed, notebook in hand, and wrote down all of what I remembered about this chapter, making a few revisions along the way. I hope you like it! Oh and there'll be a whole lot of Dana/Logan fluffiness going on in this chappie! And again, so completely sorry for the long wait! -

Chapter 3- Good Morning Kisses.

Logan slowly opened his eyes, and was greeted by a tangled mass of caramel curls. His arms were wrapped securely around a petite waist. He heard a groan and the girl turned over, revealing the Sleeping Beauty.

Otherwise know as, Dana Cruz.

'Man' he thought to himself. 'if only she was this peaceful when she was awake.'

For a few minutes, he just lay there, watching the girl of his dreams sleep soundlessly until he just couldn't contain himself any longer. He gently placed a soft kiss on her lips, not expecting a reaction.

Little did he know, Dana had been awake for a few minutes, she just hadn't wanted to leave him arms. When she felt his lips being placed onto her own, she immediately kissed back. Logan froze for a few seconds before smiling against her lips. He removed one hand from her waist and placed it on here cheek. Slowly, the two parted. Logan let his hand stay; slowly caressing her cheek with is thumb.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty." He whispered. She rolled her eyes.

"Morning." They laid in silence for a few moments, just enjoying each other's company.

"Hey Logan?"

"Hmmm…"

"Why did you just kiss me?"

"Because….because I like you, okay?" he told her as he sat up. She, too, sat up.

"Logan?"

"What?" he snapped. She placed another kiss onto his lips.

"I like you, too." She whispered in his ear. He smirked slightly.

"I knew you wanted me."

"Hey!" she objected as she lightly smacked his chest. He poked her arm, and she retaliated by poking his leg. He poked her side. She winced. He sent her a confused glance as he slowly lifted the side of her shirt, only to reveal a large black and blue bruise. She pulled in a shaky breath, and the memories of last night came flooding back to Logan. He gently placed two fingers on her side and ran them up and down her side.

"It was really this bad, huh?" he said, letting her shirt fall back into place. She nodded slowly as a tear rolled down her cheek. He wiped it away before placing a gentle kiss along her jaw line. He then stared into her eyes, a small smile gracing his lips. She returned the smile, a moment of understanding crossing between the two. Dana knew that there was finally someone out there to protect her, and Logan knew that Dana was grateful for him.

He placed his arm around her shoulders, and she laid her head on his chest, listening to the steady pulse of his heart.

"Dana?"

"Hmmm?"

"You do know that I love you, right?" she smiled.

"As long as you know that I love you." He nodded.

"Yes. Yes I do."

The newly formed couple's day played out fairly uneventfully. But there was something about the twinkle in here eyes when they played in the snow together, or when she always had a smile on her face when they were just sitting with one another silently. Maybe it was the way he saw the trust in her eyes whenever she told him something. Or maybe it was a combination of it all, but something about that day put a forming plan into Logan's head by the time they turned out the light.

So, I totally know that was short, but it was packed full with fluffiness. I hope it made up slightly for such a long wait. I already have the next chappie written, so when I get some reviews, I can update. I also have pretty much the whole story planned in my head, I just have to get it down on paper and get some reviews! So yeah. Hope you all liked it!

Love you all!!
