A/N So this was 'sposed to be a one shot, but I'm on such a roll, I decided to keep going! Apparently there's a 3-day hiatus from when you join to when you can post. Oh. Poo. Also, this chapter is PG-13, cuz, ya know, Dana and Logan are bound to make some jokes (you get it right?). Oh well. This chapter ain't for the little'uns… Oh! And Logan got his job back. Yeah. Just a note. I caved. Um, I was gonna wait until I had like, 5 reviews, and then my favorite author gave me a review and i cracked!
Disclaimer: Nop. Ne. Non.
At the end of the hall, Dana turned around and said, having regained her cool, "Oh, and Logan, this never happened." She then kissed her palm and blew him a kiss.
Zooey ran towards the girls lounge as fast as she could. What had that been? Half an hour ago, Dana was flipping out about Zoey and Logan just TALKING, and then she catches them kissing! Zoey quickened her pace. Out of no where, Dana popped in front of her. How does she do that, Zoey thought. "Oh… Dana," Zoey said with mock surprise.
"Cut the crap Zoey," Dana said, " I know that you saw us."
Zoey shrugged. "What you do is your business," Zoey said, "If you wanna kiss Logan. You can kiss him."
" We weren't kissing," Dana raged.
"That's kinda what it looked like," Zoey replied, but quickly saw the mistake.
"Zoey," Dana
started but the stopped, "Whatever. I'm talking about this. Its
stupid."
"Dana," Zoey pleaded, "Come on. Your taking this
aaaaall wrong." But it was too late. Dana was already half way down
the stairs holding her middle finger above her head. "Ooooh,"
Zoey moaned, stamping her foot.
An hour later, the Calafornia sun set. Dana was shooting hoops at the basketball court. Swoosh, clink, bounce. Over and over. Swoosh, clink, bounce. Swoosh, clink, bounce. A rhythm and her thoughts. She was mad at Zoey. She was mad at Logan. And she didn't know why. She was mad that Logan almost kissed her (as in he tried to) and she was made that he had almost kissed her (that he hadn't). He was such a jerk! And then she was mad a Zoey because she found them and because …. She didn't know.
"Hey," a voice said behind her, making her flop midway through another one of her patented perfect 3 pointers, "You missed."
"No s-"she started to snap, turning around to face the voice. Right behind her was the one person she wanted too see the least. Logan.
"Your pretty good," he said, retrieving the ball, "But your styles' a little off."
"Oh, yeah," she scoffed, "Didn't Zoey take your spot on the team?"
"Let's not talk about her," Logan said, "Here, you hold the ball like this."
"I know how to hold a ball Logan," Dana laughed.
"(insert lewd joke about basketballs)," Logan joked.
"Ew," Dana said. She grabbed the ball away from him and got into her shooting stance.
"No no no, Dana," Logan said, "Your feet are too close together. You have to spread out your legs a little."
"Wouldn't you like that," she smirked.
In the dwindling light, Logan showed Dana how to shoot properly. He stood behind her and positioned her limbs for the perfect shot. Again and again, Dana returned to her rhythm, but this time another heartbeat was added. When the sun was completely gone, the pair began to hike towards the lounge. Dana began to shiver in the night air and she started rubbing her arms for warmth. Logan placed an innocent arm around her shoulders.
"Ya know, you're not all that bad," Logan said, pulling her closer.
"No duh," Dana said. She liked this. She couldn't imagine them to be like this in public. But it was still good. She wrapped a less innocent arm around Logan's waist.
As they neared civilization, the both unraveled from each other. They both took a step away and their flirting stopped. "Thanks for the lesson," Dana said sarcastically.
"Any time," Logan said, not picking up on her tone, " Besides, every good deed deserves a reward." A long moment of awkward silence
"I gotta go…..wash my hair," Dana announced
"I gotta get to work," Logan answered..
The two shared a final glance before hurrying off to their excuses.
Chase threw a bouncy ball against the door of his room. Every time he tried to tell Zooey how he felt, she ran off or wasn't listening. Music blared behind him. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back. What was the problem. He threw the ball again. This time, instead of a "thunk", he heard an "OUCH!". He opened his eyes to see Logan standing, rubbing his forehead.
"Ooh, sorry Logan," Chase winced.
" You better be," Logan snapped. He picked up the ball and tossed it back at Chase. "Whats wrong," Chase asked, "Ya look down"
Silence.
" Did you and whats-her-face break-up?"
"No. We were never going out."
"But-"
"Chase, Chase, Chase," Logan said shaking his head, "You know so little."
Chase shrugged and said, "Aaaany way, whats wrong."
"Girl stuff.."
"You're a girl!"
"No idiot," Logan sighed, "As in I'm having a problem with a girl."
"Oh.. Who?" Chase asked, puzzled.
"No one you know."
" Kim?"
"No."
" Nicole."
" I'm not telling you!"
"Da..na?"
"What? NO!" Logan yelped defensively.
"Oh my gosh," Chase, "You like Dana!
"Chase! Shut up!" Logan yelled, and then whispered, " You can't tell ANYONE."
"Not even Zoey?" Chase asked.
"Especially not Zoey!"
"Eh-mah-gosh,"
Nicole squealed. Outside the window, she saw Dana and Logan walking
up the hill, their arms hung around each other. Dana was ALWAYS
flipping out at Logan. Hitting him, yelling at him… GASP! All the
signs had been there! Nicole jumped up and skipped out the door. As
the couple got nearer, she jumped behind a tree. Unfortunetly, it was
one of those really skinny baby trees. Dana made her way closer to
Nicole's 'hiding' place.
"Nicole you idiot," Dana
scoffed, " I can see you."
Nicole stepped sheepishly from behind the skinny tree. " I didn't know…" Nicole said.
"Yeah, and no one else will," Dana snapped threateningly, "If you tell anyone about this, I'll shave all of your hair off."
"Meep!" Nicole squealed, touching her hair, "Don't worry Dana! I keep secrets! I'm a secret keeping girl! Secrets are my…"
"Just shut-up," Dana said pushing past her into the lounge. Behind the two feuding girls, a small patter of rain started to fall.
Logan glanced at the slip of paper attached to a clear plastic box of California rolls. "Oh man," he groaned, " Chase can you take this one?"
"No Logan," Chase said from behind a box holding 6 other orders, "I gave you that one for a reason."
"I don't want to talk to her especially in front of her friends!" Logan protested.
"Just get it OVER with," Chase urged, "She might not even BE there."
The rain was now falling harder and faster against the large windows at the girls lounge. "We should probably go back to our room," Nicole urged, still stroking her hair.
"I want sushi," Dana protested, " And I will not leave until I get my sushi!"
"We'll get the sushi and then we'll go back to our room and eat it there," Zoey compromised.
A couple minutes later, Logan entered he girls lounge. Without looking up he exchanged the sushi for a pair of crumpled bills. He could feel Dana's eyes burning holes into the side of his head. "Thanks," the girls chirped in unison as he turned a walked away.
"Go talk to him," Zoey said, noticing Dana's downcast eyes.
"I didn't tell her!" Nicole screamed, "I promise! I want keep my hair!"
Logan rushed away slamming the lounge door behind him. Why couldn't he just talk to her. Just tell her how he felt. No! He couldn't do that. Dana would never go for something like that. He felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see Dana standing there.
"Dana.." he started. He closed his eyes to gather himself, but before he could say anything, he felt Dana pressing against him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding tight. The rain pelted down on the pair, but that didn't matter to them. To them, the only thing that mattered was each other. At the same time, the pressed their lips together. Logan put one arm around her waist and the other around her back. What seemed like forever, they were connected. Every raindrop was a decade and every second was an eternity. Thunder and lightning sounded over head.
When the parted, both were soaked through and through. "What was that?" Logan yelled over the booms of thunder around them.
"That's your tip!" Dana said.
Logan looked down. "You're all wet," he laughed.
"Thanks for noticing, you are too!" Dana countered. A strike of lighting took the two by surprise. BOOM! Dana jumped, knocking into Logan. The two fell onto the soggy ground. Logan began to laugh as he rose.
"It isn't funny!" Dana scolded as she got up, wiping off the back of her skirt, "I hate lighting."
They noticed the light in the lounge go off. "You should get back to work," Dana said.
"I got time," Logan said, brushing it off, "Why don't I walk you back to my room."
"Don't you mean MY room," she said, fully getting what he had just asked her.
"Hey, whatever," Logan shrugged. The two made their way towards the girl's dorm.
A/N By the way, this chapter is for my Abby and her new bf Joe, who promised each other that they'd have their first kiss in the pouring rain. I'm contemplating the next chapter. Hmm… Contemplation finished!
