thanks for all the reviews!

Authors note: I got a review asking about Duncan...if you read my other fic you'll know that I'm not a Duncan fan. but I will tell you that he does show up at the end of this season. but he will not be a major player. oh and also someone mentioned Cassidy for season 2. Yes, he will be there and so will Kendall and Weevil might even get used a little more. I am going to be loosely using the main story lines for season 2. but as always circumstances and characters will be changed.

I don't own Veronica Mars or any other person, place, thing mentioned.

It's a little like daytime TV

Middle of May

Veronica

I was sitting in my "office" during 3rd period when Weevil came in with a friend. "Hey Weevs!"

"Sup V! I think you know Carmen?" He stopped and pointed to the girl standing behind him.

I smiled at her, we'd had a few classes together over the years and had partied together, but had never really become friends. "Yeah, hey."

She had been obviously been crying and she sniffed out her greeting. "Hi Veronica."

Weevil looked at me concerned. "Carmen has a problem that needs a little…finesse. Not exactly my strong suit. Feel like taking on a case?"

"Finesse huh? Oh do tell. I can't wait to hear what the all mighty Weevil is unable to fix."

He smirked at me, Carmen sat on the counter next to me and Weevil stood back and listened as she told me what was going on.

"So let me get this straight. He's blackmailing you, so you won't break up with him?"

"Pretty much. I can't let that video get out, it will ruin me. I didn't even know he had it."

I felt bad for her. She's not the first girl to get drunk and do something they not proud of. But to have your own boyfriend do something like that is just inexcusable.

I'm lucky with Logan, he'd never do something like that to me.

"So will you help me Veronica? Will you get me his phone?"

I smiled . "Oh, you bet I will."

Weevil came over and stood next to her. "How much V? I've got this one."

I smiled at Weevil and then at Carmen. "Oh no, this I'm doing for free."

Carmen hugged me. "Oh thank you so much!"

She got off the counter and Weevil followed her out of my office.

He turned around and winked. "See ya Mars."

"Bye."

Before journalism I ran into Wallace and he helped me do a bump and drop on Carmen's boyfriend Tad.

By the end of the day I had his phone, which I promptly delivered to Carmen, still warning her that just getting the phone didn't guarantee anything. So I told her to keep me posted.

Logan

I was waiting for Veronica by my car when school was out.

She saw me and took a running leap into my arms, curling her legs around my waist and I reached down and kissed her.

"Miss me Mars?"

"As always Echolls."

Life really couldn't have been more perfect.

The past month had been absolute bliss. Waking up every morning with the love of your life in your arms and knowing that she loves you too, is a feeling I never want to give up.

My parents had left for London for my dad's new movie shoot three days before we got together. I still hadn't told my mom, or dad, not like I'd tell him anyways, but I wanted to surprise my mom with the news, I knew she will be thrilled. But as an added bonus, since they'd been gone we'd had the entire house to ourselves, and believe me, we'd been enjoying it. The other day I was making her dinner and the next thing I knew we were on top of the island counter half naked.

She smiled, pulling me from my thoughts. "I promised everyone that we would meet them at Casey's and then I thought we could all go to the beach. They've been complaining that they never see us these days."

I smirked. "I can't get you naked if they're around. What do they expect?"

She still had her legs wrapped around my waist and my hands were on her perfect ass holding her up. She hopped down and smacked my arm while glaring at me jokingly. "Well first of all, I think they would find that to be a good thing."

"And second?"

"You've only seen me half naked."

I smiled. "I know, but it still counts." I angled my head down to kiss her again. "Besides, someday I'll see the rest." I continued with a smirk.

She pulled back smiling again. "Someday huh?"

"Definitely."

I nuzzled my head in the crook of her neck and kissed it lightly. We hadn't gotten any further than second base. Normally I'd be dying by that point, ok so in truth I'd have moved on. But I wasn't dying and there was no way I was moving on from her. I love being with her in any capacity so I was in no hurry. And I'd made that very clear. Which I think had helped her be a little more confident when we were together. She knew that everything was on her time line.

"Normally I'd give you shit for your overconfident view. But in this case…"

"In this case what?" I asked expectantly.

She smiled and moved away from me towards the passenger door of the truck.

"You're completely correct." She got inside before I could respond and I stood there for a second. It's not like I didn't already know that, but damn was it nice to hear, in more ways then one.

I ran to my side, got in and as soon as I sat down she was over the console straddling me with her lips crashing onto mine. I put my hand on the back of her neck pulling her in closer and cupped her breast with my other hand.

Only seconds later we were rudely interrupted by a knock on the passenger window.

I looked over to see Wallace, Dick and Luke trying not to look at what we were in the middle of, or for that matter, where my hand happened to be. Well at least Wallace and Luke weren't looking, Dick's another story.

"Fuck. Why do we even leave the house? I'm rich. We don't need school. We could just hide in my bedroom for the rest of our lives."

She crawled off my lap and sat back down in her seat. "Well lets see, it's Tuesday. Why don't we give them some V and Logan time and then go home, skip school tomorrow and spend the day in bed hiding?"

I laid my head back on the head rest and smiled thinking about spending the day in bed with her. "God, I love you."

She smiled impishly. "I know."

The guys were getting impatient and I finally rolled down the window.

Dick leaned halfway in over Ronnie. "Do you guys ever come up for air or have you formed gills?"

V laughed. "Like you and Mac have room to talk."

He smiled and backed out of the window a little. "I can't argue with that."

Luke pulled him the rest of the way out and stuck his head in. "Hey, lets just go straight to the beach. We have all of our stuff, so there's no sense in stopping by Casey's"

I looked over at Veronica, she nodded and I put my hand on her thigh as they watched. "Ok, see you guys there."

Wallace laughed. "Um, we mean like now. Not two hours from now you know."

I raised my hand in surrender while Ronnie laughed and they took off to their vehicles.

"They sure are needy."

Veronica laughed. "And you aren't?"

I smirked. "Depends on what I want and/or need."

Veronica

I have never really been comfortable with the physical part of my relationships.

That was plainly evident with Casey. We were together for 9 months and even just being topless with him made me want to hyperventilate.

But that isn't the case with Logan.

He's seen me topless more often in the last month than Casey did in our entire relationship and I think that's why I always had issues before.

Its because none of those guys were Logan. None of them, with the exception of Casey, felt the way he does about me.

And I didn't feel that way about them either.

Everything is different with Logan.

As scary as it is to admit, everything is near perfect.

I'm still not ready to have sex, but I think I am ready for more.

Logan

We got to the beach and Wallace, Luke, Dick and I pulled our boards from Dick's truck. We probably wouldn't even use them, but we brought them over to the blankets the girls had set out anyways.

Contrary to V's earlier comment, we have been spending time with everybody. Just not as mush as we used to.

Our relationship is still new and right now all we really want to do is be with each other.

We joined the girls on the blankets, Mac and Meg had picked up some food on the way there and we all dug in. We were almost done when Leo showed up and sat next to Meg.

Leo had become almost a permanent fixture around us, much to Luke's chagrin.

He likes the guy, actually we all do. Luke just doesn't like the fact that he is with Meg. And its painfully obvious too.

He has nothing on me when it comes to my jealousy issues, but he has some definite talent in the area.

After about an hour Leo had to leave and Meg went to walk to his car with him. We could see them from the blanket and we watched as they kissed goodbye.

Luke wasn't happy. "Does he have to kiss her in front of me?"

Ronnie smiled. "Technically they aren't in front of you, they're about 100 yards away."

Luke didn't agree. "That's not the point. He knows how I feel. Hell, so does she. You'd think she would at least consider my feelings."

Mac patted Luke on the back. "She does Luke. But she also shouldn't have to hide her affection just because it makes you uncomfortable. Besides, you guys are friends first aren't you?"

He shrugged. "Yes. But…"

Ronnie stopped him. "We know Luke, we know. But you've made your feelings clear and that's all you can do right now. And if you aren't willing to break them up, not that I'm saying you should, you need to just deal and be there for her as a friend."

He didn't respond and I looked over at Ronnie, she was smiling at me so I decided to add my two cents "This is all very Daytime Soap Opera to me. He likes her, she likes him, but she likes the other guy too. But guy number 1 won't do anything about the fact that she's with guy number 2, so instead he pines away. We could call it 'As the Stomach Turns.'"

Dick punched my arm. "Hmm, sounds familiar."

Everyone but Ronnie and I laughed. "Oh haha. You're so funny Casablancas. Yes, I will admit that I pined. But I did eventually do something about it." I pulled Veronica between my legs and she leaned back into me. "See. Statement proven."

Mac laughed and looked up at Dick. "Thank god we don't have a love triangle."

Dick smirked. "I don't know, I think your computer might count as another man. Sometimes you spend more time on the computer than you do on me."

Mac punched his arm the same way he'd punched mine. "You better watch it or I won't be spending any time on you."

He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "Oh please, all I'd have to do is feed you some vodka and you'd be all over me like white on rice."

When he said vodka Veronica turned a little green. "Ugh Dick, please don't say that word."

Since the girls' little vodka party, she hadn't been able to touch the stuff. Even smelling it made her sick to her stomach.

Dick looked over and smiled. "Sorry Ronnie, I forgot."

She smiled back. "You're forgiven." And then she looked over at Wallace. "Speaking of relationships…what's up with you and Georgia, Fennel?"

That was a good question, she hadn't been around lately.

He looked a little sheepish. "Um, we broke up."

We all just kind of stared at him. They'd been disgustingly cute for the duration of their relationship and we'd all pretty much thought they were perfect together. So this was a surprising development.

I was the first to speak. "What happened?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. I thought everything was fine and then out of nowhere she told me it was over. She said she was 'too young to be in such a serious committed relationship'."

He gave us a 'yeah right' look and Luke slapped him on the back. "In other words...she wants to date other people."

Wallace smiled slightly. "Yep."

Ronnie sat up and stretched to put her hand on his leg. "Sorry Papa Bear."

"Its cool supafly. I'm sure the ladies will be lining up as soon as they hear I'm back on the market."

Mac laughed. "Oh my god he's turned into Dick 2.0."

Dick pushed her over a little into the sand and smirked. "There can never be another Dick, Macalicious. I'm one of a kind."

Veronica and I both laughed. "Thank god for that." She said.

Dick gave us a dirty look as Meg rejoined us and she sat down right next to Luke who scooted closer to her. "What did I miss?"

Wallace looked over at Luke who was gazing at Meg like she was the fucking Mona Lisa and laughed.

"Not much. So what's the deal for this weekend?"

Veronica

We made plans for the weekend deciding it would be fun for all of us to go to Mexico.

For once us girls were going to join them. I was surprised at first that Logan agreed to the trip, but he whispered in my ear that we would have our own hotel room and I understood. He could lock me inside with him if he wanted to.

When we got home Carmen called to say that she'd destroyed the phone. But as I was on the phone with her I got an email from Tad, it was the video.

When I told her what it was she cried again. "What am I gonna do Veronica?"

I had an idea. "How do you feel about getting your hands dirty?"

She stopped crying. "As long as it works I'm up for anything."

I told her what I had in mind and she agreed.

So much for spending all day tomorrow in bed, I thought.

I went upstairs a little later to find Logan lying on our bed asleep. He looked so peaceful I almost didn't want to wake him, but that feeling didn't last.

I crawled up on the bed and over to him, moving my leg across his waist straddling him, but trying not to wake him yet.

He had his shirt off so I bent down and kissed his chest, almost instantly I felt his hand cup the back of my head, so I looked up and smiled at him.

He smiled back. "Hi baby."

"Hey. Tired?"

He smirked. "I'm never too tired for you." And then he sat up taking me with him and brought his lips to mine.

I kissed him back and then pulled away slightly. "So. Feel like going on a date tomorrow after school?"

He smiled looking a little confused. "Sure. What were you thinking?"

"Well here's the deal…" I told him about Carmen's problem and he immediately agreed to help. Logan may have been a man whore in his day but he had no patience for shit like that.

"So you're ok with us not spending the day in bed?"

He laid back down pulling me with him. "We're in bed right now and we will be until its time to go tomorrow. I guess I can share you for a few hours if I must. On one condition."

I smiled. "And that would be?"

"You let me buy you a car tomorrow."

Ok not what I was expecting at that moment, but I had been expecting it none the less.

"Fine, if you must."

He smiled. "Finally."

He reached down and in one swift motion pulled my shirt over my head, put his arms around me and flipped us over so that he was on top of me.

Logan

She reached up and our lips connected.

I pulled away after a few seconds and kissed my way down into the crook of her neck while sliding my hands down her sides, then bringing them back up and under her to unclasp her bra. When I pulled my hands back around I slid the straps down her arms and then removed the bra from her body.

I couldn't help but stare. Every single time I was more and more amazed by her beauty.

We spent the next hour tangled up in each other and just like every other night since the first one, she removed her jeans and slid under the covers, so I did the same and slid in next to her.

But this time, when I pressed myself up behind her and she grabbed my hand, she didn't pull it onto her stomach.

Instead, she moved my hand down, over her hip and back around stopping on her lower abdomen, the top of her cotton panties under my hand. I took in a sharp breath as I moved my thumb under the elastic band and over the silky skin underneath. Instantly I felt her shudder and move closer to me and I had to move my lower half away from her due to the sensation from her body moving against mine. She turned a little, with my hand still resting on her belly and her body was turned giving me a gorgeous view of her exposed breasts.

"Sorry." She looked a little guilty.

"Don't be, you're more than worth it."

She smiled. "Are you sure?" I grazed my thumb over her skin again and she closed her eyes as her body shuddered again.

"Positive. I love you."

"I love you too Logan."

I kissed her, rolled her back over on her side and when I was able to, I brought her body back to mine and moved my hand up to her breast resting it there.

She was asleep with in minutes, but I laid there just holding her.

And just like every night since the first, I thanked god for giving her to me.

so what did you think? review please!

Author's note: so I know that it might seem like I pulled Georgia back out of thin air. and I'm aware of that. but just remember that just because I don't mention someone that doesn't mean that they aren't present. and I'll admit that I've been ignoring Wallace so I wanted to give him a little page time. the other reason I referenced her is because in the show it looked like they were starting something and then you never saw her again, so I wanted to tie up that loose end.

ok lets see what else... something big happens in the next chapter. but I wont give you any hints as to what it is cuz I don't want to ruin it.

also, there is some mild smut in the next chapter as well. but like I said its mild.
