Tell me that story again the one that has no ending
And that will be the story of you and me
It never ends and it never begins it just keeps on going like it is
And maybe that's the way that it should be

Veronica stood frozen as Logan gently pulled back, looking directly into her tear filled eyes. It almost felt like a dream or a scene from a movie, right down to the oddly appropriate song playing in the background.
"You like it?" Logan whispered.
"I love it."
"Come on let's sit down." Logan took Veronica's hand and led her over to the couch where they both took a seat, "So did you have a good Valentines Day?"
"I am now. I've kinda been worrying all day about you and your mom."
"Well you can stop that 'cause I've got some news."
"You do?"
"Uh-huh."
"Well start spilling."
Logan took a deep breath and looked Veronica in the eyes.
"My mom woke up this morning." He told her.
"Are you serious?" Veronica exclaimed covering her mouth, "That's great!"
"You want to know something even better?"
Veronica raised an eyebrow and Logan began to smile.
"My dad was arrested."
"Oh my god!" Veronica cried out throwing her arms around Logan's neck, pulling him in for a hug.
"I thought you'd like that."
"This is the best news I could ever receive."
Veronica pulled back and gave Logan a kiss. He ran his hands threw her hair and they both became lost in each other until something in the kitchen began beeping.
"What's that?" Veronica whispered.
"That's dinner. Come on."
"This is the start of something good, don't you agree? I haven't felt like this in so many moons, know what I mean?"
Logan led Veronica into the dinning room where she sat down at the table.
"So you cooked?" She called out as Logan went into the kitchen to get the food.
"More like re-heated." He said as he brought a casserole dish filled with corn into the room and set it onto the table.
"So what are we having for this late, late night dinner?"
"A little bit of everything. I've got some pasta, some chicken, vegetables, and then there's desert…"
"Holy crap are you trying to make me fat?" Veronica laughed
"Relax you don't have to eat it all. I can take what ever we don't eat to my mom for lunch tomorrow."
"Can you do that?" Veronica asked as Logan went back to get more food.
"Sure I can."
"The more I learn the more I love, the more my heart can't get enough. That's when I love you; I love you no matter what."
Half way through desert Logan's eyes lit up.
"I almost forgot. I have a present for you." He said as she stood up and walked into the living room
"Logan, I thought we agreed, no presents." Veronica said following him
"No we agreed on no presents for Valentines Day. This isn't a Valentines Day present."
"It's not?"
"No. It's a regular everyday 'I love you' present."
"An 'I love you' present? One that you just decided to give me on Valentines Day?"
"Yes." Logan said as he pulled out a medium sized silver box from under the coffee table, "Now open it."
Logan handed Veronica the box and she sat down on the couch and began to open it.
"This better be a good present." Veronica joked as she pulled the lid off.
"Do you like it?" Logan asked as Veronica pulled out a brown teddy bear and a mixed CD.
"Oh my god." she said, shaking her head.
"That's the CD that's playing. Oh, and listen to this." Logan pressed the bears hand and it said, 'I wub you beary much.'
"That's it." Veronica said shaking her head, "We have officially become one of those annoyingly cute couples.
"I'm okay with that."
"Me to." Veronica leaned in and gave Logan a kiss, "Come on, let's go up stairs."
"She's taking off her clothes again, says let the whole world see. She's cutting off her hair again, says this is all of me."
As Veronica and Logan sat on his bed, clinging to each other, they both knew that they were close to changing their lives forever, but at the same time, they didn't care.
"What are we doing?" Logan whispered as he began to take Veronica's shirt off.
"I have no idea." Veronica told him as she began to unbutton his pants
As they both laid half naked on the bed, just moments away from taking the biggest leap of their relationship Veronica tried thinking of all the reasons why this was a bad idea. But she couldn't think of any,
"We should really stop." Logan told her as he tried to sit up.
"No we shouldn't."
"I've waited all my life to cross this line; you're the only thing that's true. So I will not hide, it's time to try anything to be with you. All my life I've waited this is true."
Later Veronica and Logan laid wrapped nothing but a baby blue bed sheet and each other's arms
"Happy Valentines day." Logan whispered as he kissed her bare shoulder
"It's not Valentines day anymore." Veronica said as she checked the clock.
Logan sat up and crawled out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Veronica asked laying her head down on a pillow.
"I'm going to go downstairs to clean up the plates that we left." Logan told her as he pulled a pair of pajama pants on.
"Let me help you." Veronica said sitting up
"No. You stay here." Logan instructed as he threw her a tee shirt, "Relax. I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Veronica said reluctantly as she slid the shirt on over her head.
Logan kissed Veronica on the forehead and then left the room, closing the door. Veronica continued to stay sitting up, until she spotted Logan's computer sitting in the corner.
She got out of bed and hurried over, and quickly opened up the AIM window and double clicked on Lilly's screen name and waited to see if she was still at the party.
"How many margaritas are too many margaritas?" Her away message read, "I'm about to find out. Give me a ring-a-ling if it's important."
Veronica sighed to herself for a second and then walked over to her jeans and pulled out her cell phone. She hit Lilly's number on her speed dial and sat down listening to the rings.
"This is Lilly!" Lilly's voice said from the other line, "I'm off doing something that's more important than taking your call. Leave a---"
Veronica hit end and threw her phone on the bedside table before she laid back down and fell asleep.
"Its daybreak and you are asleep. I can hear you breathe now, your breath is deep. But before I go I look at you one last time. I can hear a heartbeat. Is it yours or is it mine?"
That morning Veronica woke up to find her head resting comfortably on Logan's bare chest. She smiled to herself as she rolled over and looked at the alarm clock that was resting on her side of the bed.
She gasped to herself and then picked up the clock to get a closer look.
"That can't be right." She whispered as she grabbed her phone to get a second opinion. But it said the same thing. 6:47 am.
"Oh crap." She whispered jumping out of bed and grabbing her clothes on the way out the door.
