thanks for all the reviews!

I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to many of them but finals are next week and I've been busy.

I don't own Veronica Mars.

Mental pictures

Thursday

Veronica

Well this was another successful week, if I don't say so myself.

I got Dick's car back with a little help from my buddy Weevil, I'm gonna have to remember how helpful he can be for next time. And I got Luke's little drug problem all taken care of. The steroids are in the sewer now and the scary roid rager isn't going to be bothering him for about 10 to 15 years. Man, Luke owes me big.

In other news.

Dick and Mac finally talked and Mac decided to give him a chance. They are starting slow and working towards a real relationship. But from the looks of what Casey and I walked in on earlier today in his living room, our idea of slow is like snail speed compared to theirs. If you get what I'm saying. And If I never have to see that again in my entire life it will be to soon. I'm pretty sure I'm scarred for life actually.

Casey didn't seem to thrilled either, but I made up for the XXX peep show we witnessed when I told him that I'd talked Dick into keeping Logan occupied for awhile on Friday so we could actually have a real date. I don't think I've ever seen him smile so big.

Since we would have the place to ourselves we decided to just rent a movie and get take out.

I'm looking forward to it. Well mostly.

Actually, I'm feeling a little apprehensive and I don't think that's how I should be feeling.

I should be excited right?

I'm going to spend Friday night with my boyfriend, alone.

Completely alone with my boyfriend…

Friday

Logan

"Ronnie, I'm really not sure I'm ok with this."

Dick didn't give me a choice about tonight. He literally cornered me and told me that I was going to be giving Veronica and Casey some alone time. I wasn't happy, but he threatened to tell her about the physical reaction I'd had to her 'game girl' outfit. I have no idea how he even knew about it, but he did and I really didn't want her to find out about it so I begrudgingly agreed.

"Logan, it will be fine. Go have fun. You and I hang out all the time, we live together for gods sake. Give them a little Logan time too."

She doesn't get it. "No, that's not what I mean. You're gonna be alone with Casey. In his big empty house. Alone. With Casey. Just Casey."

She looked over at me and smiled. "Logan, I promised you I wouldn't. Remember?"

Now she gets it. "I know, its just that….Sometimes when things get started they're hard to stop."

She walked over and sat next to me on the bed. "Logan, I promised you and you know I don't break my promises. You need to trust me, ok?"

I don't know why this is bothering me so much. Its just a date, he's her boyfriend, he's one of my best friends and she is my best friend. I should be ok, but even the thought of him touching her makes my skin crawl. And its not that I don't trust her. Its him actually. He's a guy, and friend or not, I don't trust him.

"Ok, I trust you. But do me a favor?"

She gave me a look that said, 'another one?' "What is it?"

"Can we practice you saying no?"

She started laughing at me. "Will it make you feel better?"

"Yes, and just so you know you have my full permission to inflict bodily harm if needed."

"Logan, I don't think it will be needed. But I appreciate the approval."

We spent the next 5 minutes with me asking her questions and her saying no. "Don't forget that I'm only a phone call away.'

"You're number 1 on my speed dial, I've got it covered. But you do realize that this is Casey were talking about, right? Not some sex crazed pervert."

"Ronnie, every guy over the age of 12 has the ability to be a sex crazed pervert. And most of them are, they just know how to hide it."

She was laughing again. "Tell me again why we sleep in the same bed?"

"Because you can't live without me and vice versa. Duh Ronnie."

"Well you got me there."

"Don't forget that you love me more."

"Of course, how could I forget? But it goes both ways. You can't ever love another girl more than you love me."

"That wouldn't be possible, so I think your safe. Do you need to get going?" She was going be late for her date.

"Yeah, I'll see you later."

"Ok, be good, and don't do anything I would do."

"I promise I won't." She turned around at the door. "Oh and Logan?"

"Yeah."

"I never said I loved him anyways, so you really don't have anything to worry about, do you?"

Yes! I knew it, I knew she didn't love him, I was right!

But why does that make me so happy?

"No, I guess not. Have fun, if you're not home by midnight I'm coming after you."

"Ok dad.."

Veronica

I swear he's worse than my dad was.

Even he used to let me spend time alone with my boyfriends. I mean he'd threaten them with his gun collection the minute they stepped in the door. But still. He at least let me out of the house.

Logan would buy me a chastity belt if he thought I wouldn't kill him for even suggesting the idea.

But what can I say? I love the guy.

And Dick was right, he really does just have my best interest at heart.

Logan

I trust her.

I really do.

I don't trust him.

But I trust her.

I just need to keep reminding myself of that.

I trust her.

Nope, not helping.

I'm sitting out here on the beach with Luke, Dick, Mac, Meg and Wallace, trying to be a good friend. And I'm somewhat succeeding but I can't stop thinking about what's happening at Casey's house right now.

Dick only promised her an hour and it's been two.

Technically, I could go over there at any time now and it wouldn't be illegal.

I'm having fun with the guys though. This is good, I needed some friend bonding. But I still can't stop picturing Casey's living room.

At least they better be in the living room.

If she gets to his bedroom he's done for.

Yep, living room.

She's in the living room.

I keep picturing her on the couch with him in my mind.

Sitting next to him

But now she is lying next to him.

And he's kissing her.

Shit, I've gone to far and now my mind is running away with the idea.

Oh god! Now his hands are all over her.

On her waist.

Ugh and now their moving up her rib cage.

I can't watch this. I need a remote for my brain.

And now his hand is under her shirt.

That's it!

Their date is over!

"I gotta go guys. Sorry."

Wallace

I'm pretty sure that was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life and Dick Casablancas is one of my best friends so that's saying something.

For the last two hours Logan sat here on the beach trying not to think about where Casey's hands and/or other body parts might be. And he actually did fairly well for the first hour, but the second hour...that's a whole other story.

I think he checked his phone every ten seconds and then for the last ten minutes he sat there with this unbelievably pained expression on his face.

He kept opening and shutting his eyes and he was fidgeting so bad, that if I didn't know better I would have thought he was on crack.

And then out of nowhere, he just stands up and runs off, saying he has to go.

I think we laughed for twenty minutes.

For someone who's so adamant that they're not in love with Veronica Mars, he sure cares a lot about what she's doing with her boyfriend when he's not around.

They make stubborn an art form.

Meg

I'm not gonna lie, it was quite funny.

I think I laughed harder than I ever have before.

But I was the only one thinking about what Logan heading over there meant and I was a little worried about them ending up on the eleven o'clock news.

So a couple minutes after he left, I called V and Casey to give them a heads up.

And from the sound of Casey's voice, it was a very good thing I did.

Casey

Thank god for Meg Manning!

I couldn't help myself I'd wanted her for years and I knew that at best we had two hours. Logan had only promised an hour for sure, so I wanted to make it count.

We only made it 15 minutes into movie and spent the rest of the time making out.

I was actually surprised that Logan lasted as long as he did, he made it a full two hours before Meg called to tell us he was on his way.

And believe me when I say it was a damn god thing she did.

We weren't going to go any further then we were, I could tell that V was about to end it.

But when Meg called I was on top of her with both of my hands under her shirt and her bra, which was unhooked. And lets just say that I had two, almost, handfuls of Veronica.

Logan walking in at that moment would not have been a good thing. At all. Especially if I wanted to my hands to stay attached to my arms.

So what I'm trying to say here is...

Meg manning is an angel.

But second base, is fucking heaven.

Veronica

So Meg calling couldn't have come at a better time.

It's not that I wasn't enjoying what we were doing.

It's just that he was really enjoying it.

If you get my meaning…

And I knew he wasn't going to push me to go further, but he had both of his hands on my chest and I was pretty sure my shirt was about to be discarded to the floor as well as my bra.

And believe me, I would have stopped him regardless, but I was afraid that I would hurt his feelings. Making out with him is extremely fun, but I'm not ready for anything else.

So Meg's call was heaven sent for two reasons.

I didn't have to tell Casey to stop.

And Logan walked in the door to find us sitting on the couch watching the movie, only 30 seconds after I had rehooked my bra.

Meg is a damn saint.

Logan

When I got there I didn't even knock I just opened the door, ran as fast as I could to the living room nd then I stopped suddenly at the door way trying to look normal.

It wasn't working because they both looked up at me like I was crazy.

They were just sitting on the couch watching the movie. He had his arm around her and she was resting her head on his shoulder.

I'm not dumb, I know somebody called them.

And it's probably a good thing they did, because even if they were just kissing I still probably would have kicked his ass.

So I sat down on the opposite side of the couch from them and spent the next hour just watching them.

And then when Veronica got up, he walked her to the door and I followed.

When he kissed her good night I'm pretty sure I almost puked in my mouth.

I stood there with Casey as she got in my mom's car and drove off and then I continued to stand there for a few more minutes before turning to Casey.

He just smiled. "Bye, Logan."

"See you later, Casey."

I walked to my truck and started to head home.

The mother fucker got to second base, I just know it.

He might be one of my best friends….but right now I really hate Casey Gant.

Veronica

When I got home I went straight to my room, changed for bed and when I was ready I went to Logan's room and sat down on the bed waiting for him.

I was worried, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if he'd be mad, upset, or if he'd even say anything at all.

But I did know that if he asked me what all happened, I'd tell him.

We have no secrets. That's the rule. It's always the truth.

But when I thought about having to tell him, I almost started to cry, because I knew how upset he would be and I didn't want to hurt him.

Logan

When I got home I went to her room first, for some reason I didn't think she'd want to sleep with me tonight, but she wasn't there, so I went to my room to find her sitting on my bed waiting for me.

She looked sad and it about broke my heart. "Ronnie what's wrong?"

I walked over and sat down next to her.

"Are you mad?"

"No, why would I be mad at you?" And I really wasn't. I actually wasn't mad at either of them. I just hated Casey for being her boyfriend, for having the ability to touch her just because he's her boyfriend.

"Really?"

"Yes really? What's going on Veronica? Why are you upset? Did something happen?" This wasn't right, she shouldn't be upset.

"Nothing happened…Well….something happened but.." She looked away when she said it and my heart stopped.

I just sat there and waited to hear it. To hear that she'd given in. It was like my worst nightmare coming true.

"What happened Ronnie?" My voice was strangled and she must have noticed, because she looked back at me.

"Oh Logan. No, that's not what I meant. We didn't have sex."

And then just like that my heart started beating again. "Really?"

"Yes, really, do you want to know what happened?"

"Yes… I mean no….Well. Honestly?"

"Yes, honestly." She was smiling at me now.

"I think so. If you don't tell me it will eat me up inside not knowing. We know everything about each other. This isn't any different."

"So yes then, you want to know?"

"Yes, I want to know."

So she told me. She didn't give me the details, but she told me enough and it killed me to hear it. Hearing that he'd had his hands on her made me physically ill. I'm not jealous, I'm just overprotective. She's my Veronica, always has been always will be. So hearing about him touching her like that made my blood boil.

"Who called to tell you I was on my way?"

She smiled again. "It was Meg. She was afraid we'd be on the 11 o'clock news if she didn't."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Well Meg is smart girl then, because if I'd walked in to see his hands...you know where. They wouldn't have been attached to his arms anymore."

"Yeah, I kinda figured."

"If she hadn't called and I hadn't crashed the party?"

"Nothing else would have happened Logan. I was about to stop it."

"Really? Please tell me it felt horrible and you never want to do it again."

She smacked my arm. "Nice try Logan. But no, it didn't feel horrible. It was fun, but that was it and I'm still not ready. Besides…."

"Besides what?"

"I don't love him remember? And I promised you I'd wait till I found some one I do love."

"Yeah, I remember. Would it be cheesy if I said I was a little elated by that comment?"

"No. Logan, I do understand why you're so overprotective of me and I don't want you to think that I don't appreciate it. Because believe me, I do. I love our friends, but you're the only real family I have left. You mean more to me than anyone else. You know that right?"

"Yeah, I do and I feel the same way about you."

"I know. So will you do me a favor then?"

"Maybe."

She was still smiling. "Can we forget this night ever happened?"

"Yes! Please god. I think that's the best idea you've ever had."

Veronica

It was a hard conversation but it needed to happen and he handled it better that I thought he would.

But he looked so sad that it nearly broke my heart. I'd rather die than hurt him.

I really am ok with how protective he is. If he wasn't that way we wouldn't be the way we are.

And his views on sex where I'm concerned are right on, he really does know me better than anyone else.

And I'd never tell him or anyone else this. And I can't believe I'm even about to say this.

But..

If I was ready…

I think I'd want it to be him.

And it's not because my friends are right. It's not because I'm in love with him, I'm not. I do love him, just not that way.

No, its because respect is a big issue for me.

And respect is exactly what he would give me.

Logan

She fell asleep on my chest again and I didn't bother to move her.

Because I didn't want to move her.

I just wanted to hold her.

I don't know why.

I had the same feeling I'd had after homecoming.

So once again I just laid there with her in my arms trying to figure out what my problem was.

They couldn't possibly be right could they?

No, she's was just upset.

I was just upset.

I'm just comforting her.

It's what friends do.

so what did you think? review please!
