Logan waited until Dick excused himself from the table to go and have a shower before he turned to look at Mac who was still finishing her breakfast.
"He doesn't know yet… so stop looking at me like that" she told him pointedly.
"That you might be carrying his baby?" Logan said raising an eyebrow.
Was this really the best way for them to start off this buddying relationship?
"Not so loud!" she scolded him as she put down her yoghurt.
"How long do you think you keep something like that from him before he… starts to notice?" Logan said, hinting at her belly.
"First of all… we don't know for sure, so why ruin a good thing while it lasts. Second of all, Mutually Assured Destruction my friend. You breathe a word of this… and these lips will let loose with all your little Romeo plans" She warned.
"You'd tell Veronica?" he said incredulously. Surely she wouldn't?
"You'd tell Dick?" she said, her big clear blue eyes said pleading.
"It's not my secret to tell" he assured her.
"Exactly…" she smiled weakly. A truce then.
"So you and Dick huh?" Logan smiled, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh God… I know… I don't even know how this happened" she replied, her cheeks were starting to burn with embarrassment. Dick and Mac couldn't be more opposite.
"I think there's still footage of that somewhere in the living room…" he joked referring to the security footage of the first time that she had ended up in the penthouse suite that night with Dick.
"I just wasn't… looking for this.. you know?" she said quietly.
"Yeah, I know what you mean…. The good ones.. they kinda take you by surprise" Logan said understandingly. He certainly never envisioned before his Senior year after the murder of his girlfriend Lilly Kane that he would be falling head over heels for his then enemy Veronica Mars.
"Yeah" she smiled in agreement.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly.
"A little worried… I have no idea what I am going to do if…" she said placing a hand on her stomach.
"Dick's a good guy… and he really likes you…" Logan assured her. "And Veronica and I will be here for whatever…" he promised.
"Thanks Logan" she replied.
"Dude… have you got toothpaste? I think I left mine back in Weller" Dick called from the bathroom.
"Yeah… I'll have a look" Logan replied getting up to go and get some.
"Hey Hottie" Dick winked as he peeked his head out through the doorway and smiled at Mac.
She might be having her doubts about her future, but that smile made her worries melt away.
Amira and Wallace were just returning from their afternoon jog along the beach when he received the text from Veronica about joining them for a triple dinner date that evening.
"Anything but Indian food" Amira pleaded as she caught her breath back.
"How can you say that? I love me a little something spicy.." he joked, pulling her in for a kiss.
"You… haven't had to live off of leftovers from your families' restaurant almost every night since you were 8 years old" she teased.
"I'd gladly finish off those leftovers for you…" he joked and wrapped his arms around her. "If you'd ever invite me over to meet your parents" he teased.
"I told you… after the whole Nasir debacle they are a little on edge.. the community can be a little unforgiving sometimes" she said sadly.
"Hey it's okay.. just as long as you aren't ashamed of me" he chuckled.
"Ashamed? No way… I am dating Wallace Fennell… Basketball Nubian Prince of Hearst" she purred as she pulled him in closer and kissed him.
"I am never going to get any studying done if I keep doing this with you" he joked.
"I am totally up for spending some time getting to know your friends" she agreed as they walked back into his dorm room.
