Chapter 29

"So, everything's fine now…right?" Chase asked.

Zoey smiled. "Yeah, everything's fine," she assured him. "You and Michael go back to your dorm and get ready for class."

Soon Chase and Michael were gone, leaving only Zoey and Nicole. "Why didn't you tell me?" Nicole questioned, her voice barely above a whisper.

Zoey looked down guiltily. "I should've told you but…I'm always supposed to be the strong one. If I fell apart…I didn't know how you'd react," she confessed.

"You've been there for me so many times. I want to be able to be there for you too. You're my best friend Zoey. I want you to know that you can tell me anything," Nicole told her.

Zoey smiled. "Thanks Nicole," she murmured. They hugged. Chase was right. I should've told Nicole. Dana too. They're my friends. They'll understand and support me. And try to help me. But…what if they keep pushing me? I don't know if I'm ready to move on…


Dana hung up and put her cell phone off towards the side. Logan smiled at her and she smiled back. "How about a little deja vou of last night?" he suggested.

Dana gave him a mock innocent look. "I'm not sure if I remember what event you're talking about," she taunted.

Logan grinned. "Then let me remind you," he declared, leaning in and kissing her.

Dana was really growing to enjoy these make out sessions with Logan. In fact, she was really starting to enjoy Logan. Maybe even…No! she told herself harshly. You cannot like Logan Reese! It's all just because of that stupid bet!

Dana forced herself to pull away. "We can't go back into the school like this," she noted.

"Like what?" Logan asked, not really paying attention because he was trying to kiss her again.

"Making out for one!" she exclaimed, backing away.

Logan frowned. "Why not?" he questioned.

"Because everyone will think we like each other!" she pointed out.

Logan moved closer to her. "And what's wrong with that?" he whispered.

Damn chills! Dana thought angrily as she felt the now familiar shiver run up her spine. "Look, I know I owe you, and I know we still have that bet but…" she trailed off. Funny how things work. In trying to explain why they can't make out anymore, she gave them two reason why the can make out more.

Logan grinned. "I don't believe you have a say in this, cupcake," he teased her.

Dana made a face. "I don't like cupcakes," she complained.

Logan had to laugh at that. Dana slowly began to smile too. "So, what were you originally going to say?" he inquired.

"We can't go back into school wearing these fancy clothes. For one, people will notice and get suspicious and we could get expelled for all the rules we've broken. And two, if we have to climb the fence again, I'll probably rip my dress on it or something and I want to keep this dress forever. It's so beautiful. And, thank you so much," Dana commented.

Logan smiled. "No problem, cupcake," he told her "And you're probably right. We probably should change. Mind changing here in the limo?"

"Yeah, I do mind! I don't want you watching me change!" she shouted.

"I'll cover my eyes," he promised.

"And then peek through," she added.

Logan put his arms around her. "It's ok, cupcake," he murmured in her ear.

As expected, the chills ran up Dana's spine and she instantly felt herself weaken. "If I have to be a cupcake, can I be a chocolate one?" she mumbled.

Logan gave a small chuckle. "Of course. But are you fine just knowing that, or do I have to call you chocolate cupcake now?" he quizzed.

Dana laughed too. "Just cupcake is fine," she announced.

Logan smiled and held her closer. "So, how's my cupcake?" he wondered.

Dana smiled. "Great…now," she answered.

They both sat there in the silence. It wasn't an awkward silence though. It was a peaceful, loving silence. Logan stroked Dana's hair and kissed the top of her head. Dana held Logan's other hand in both of her own. It was a Kodak moment but, even without a camera, they both knew they would never forget it.


"Excuse me, Mr. Reese? I'm so sorry to disturb you but, we're here," Antonio announced.

Logan blinked his eyes open. They'd fallen asleep. "Dana, wake up," he mumbled, nudging her softly.

Dana groaned and she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing her eyes focused on was Antonio. She suddenly remembered where she was. They must've fallen asleep in the limo. She realized that she must've been laying on Logan and she bolted up suddenly.

"Shall I give you a minute?" Antonio asked.

"Umm, yeah, sure, thanks," Logan replied. Antonio closed the door, leaving them to wake up.

"We never changed," Dana realized.

"You refused to," Logan reminded her.

"You could've let us pull over somewhere so we could go in and change," Dana pointed out.

"Kind of risky, don't you think?" Logan countered. "We were lucky to get through that whole day and not get caught. We have to be extra careful today."

Dana sighed. Logan had a point. "So what do we do?" she questioned.

"We can change here," he told her, beginning to unbutton his shirt. "I am."

Look away! Dana commanded herself, but she didn't. "I don't want you watching me undress!" she snapped.

"Like you're watching me?" Logan teased, following her eyes to his bare chest. Dana blushed a deep red and turned away. Logan sighed. "You can go hide in a corner and change and I won't look if you don't want me to."

"Why would I want you to look?" Dana inquired, still refusing to turn back towards him.

"Because, you know you want me," Logan taunted. Dana heard him unzip his pants. She focused intently on the seat. She wished she knew anything about fabrics or something so she could have something to think about the seat other than "Oh, a seat." Logan continued, "And, you want me to want you. I guess you haven't realized it yet though…" Logan paused and Dana held her breath. Logan was by now back in his clothes from the previous day. He crept up behind Dana and whispered in her ear, "I already do."

The fact that suddenly he was right next to her made her jump. Then there was the whispering that sent chills up and down her spine. And on top of all that, she wasn't sure whether or not he was completely dressed yet.

Almost as if Logan read her mind, he answered her unspoken question, "You can turn around now, I'm dressed. Although I wouldn't have really minded if you'd turned around when I hadn't been."

Dana turned back toward him but kept her head down. Logan titled her head up so she was looking to him. As cliché as they both thought it sounded, they were gazing deeply into each others eyes. They were both falling, falling, falling.

Dana turned away. She couldn't handle it. Logan frowned but didn't turn her back towards him. "I'll go wait outside of the limo while you change," he declared, opening the door and leaving her alone.

Dana sighed and put her head in her hands. How had something so simple turned into this? She traced it back. It was all because of Nicole's stupid idea to go to the movies with the guys. And then Nicole's making Dana change her outfit. Then Chase offering Zoey his arm, making Nicole want an escort too, leaving Logan and Dana alone. Then the bet. That stupid bet. That stupid bet that she wouldn't trade for the world.

Dana's head shot up. Why was this happening? Why was she falling for Logan? Why? Dana sighed and picked herself up. She glanced out the window to make sure no one was looking in, the quickly took off the dress. She threw on her clothes from the day before, neatly folded up the dress, and opened the door.

Logan smiled as Dana emerged from the limo. "Ready to go?" he quizzed.

Dana nodded. "Yeah. Thanks Antonio!" she called to the driver who was heading around to the other side of the car.

Antonio smiled. "My pleasure, ma'am," he replied.

Logan held out his arm for Dana to take. Dana thought about it, but stopped herself. "We're not at a fancy party anymore Logan. We're back at school," she reminded him sharply.

Logan frowned. "Fine then," he growled, heading off to the school.

"Wait for me!" Dana cried, hurrying after him.

"Why should I? Wouldn't you rather not be seen with me?" he glowered.

Dana stopped in her tracks. Logan continued walking. Dana regained herself and followed him. "Logan," she started, placing her hand on his shoulder.

Logan whirled around, surprising Dana. What surprised her more though was the hurt she saw in his eyes. A small gasp escaped her. "Logan," she repeated, her voice softer now.

Logan turned away, not wanting his eyes to give him away anymore. Dana was so confused. What had happened? They'd been going back and forth from fine to bad to fine to great to bad to great to fine to bad and so on. It was a mess.

Dana sighed. "I'm sorry Logan. For whatever it was I did or said. I can't even remember right now, I'm so confused. I'm really sorry. I have no right to be mean to you after all the nice things you've done for me. I really owe you. I'm sorry," she apologized.

Logan was surprised at first. Dana Cruz was apologizing to him, Logan Reese? When he thought about what she'd said, he immediately felt guilty. "Dana, it wasn't your fault. I…I'm sorry," he confessed.

Now it was Dana's turn to be shocked. Logan Reese was apologizing? Dana then shocked herself and Logan by leaning in and kissing him.

"Umm…remember what I said before about us not being able to go into the school making out?" she began tentatively. Logan nodded, prompting her to continue. "Well, we do still have that bet. And I still owe you that $100 worth of tasks. And I did promise to make out with you if you made yesterday great. And yesterday was great. It was beyond great. Beyond fantastic even. It was phenomenal. I can't thank you enough for that. I should be indebted to you for the rest of my life. So, umm, I guess what I'm saying is, well…the decision is yours."

Logan would have considered her promise to make out with him fulfilled, but if she didn't, he had no reason to. Plus, there was a little voice in the back of his mind telling him that she wouldn't have mentioned that if she didn't want to. That thought really made him smile. "I had a great time too, Dana," he responded honestly, taking her hands in his, "and the thing that made this so, as you put it, phenomenal for me, was being with you."

Dana felt her breath catch in her throat. What was going on with them? She desperately wanted to say something mean. It was what she'd been doing for so long. But she couldn't bring herself to do it. Every time she thought about it, she saw the image of him looking so hurt, and she couldn't stand the thought of doing that to him. I really like you Logan.

Dana let out a small yelp. No! Why would she think that? All of a sudden, her mind replayed their conversation from last night.


Dana collapsed into Logan's strong arms. "What do we do?" she inquired, her voice practically a whisper.

Logan held onto her. "It'll be fine. We're ok. Everything will be ok, I promise," he assured her.

Dana felt a little bit better. Being in Logan's arms gave her a feeling of protection. She knew he wouldn't let anything happen to her. "Thank you," she whispered.

"For what? Getting you stuck in here?" Logan replied sarcastically.

Dana smiled and laughed slightly. "For today, and for protecting me, and caring about me," she told him.

Logan smiled. "I wouldn't dream of doing anything other than that," he informed her.

Dana smiled. So maybe she was stuck…somewhere. She felt better about the situation. Logan would make sure everything was alright, she was sure of it. Before she knew it, she felt herself drifting off to sleep. Logan was stroking her hair. "I like you Logan," she murmured.


Dana's eyes widened as she realized that she'd inadvertently told him she liked him. Did he remember? Well he must've! she was convinced. There was only one way to find out.

Dana took a deep breath and took the plunge, "Logan, do you remember our conversation from last night? After we got stuck in that storage room and realized we both left our cell phones in the limo. Pretty much, uhh, right before I fell asleep."

Logan realized instantly what part she was talking about. What should he say? He could tell she was a little nervous about it. She probably just remembered what she had said, since she was alright half asleep. "You mean, uhh, when you told me you liked me and I said that I liked you too?" he asked. So it wasn't exactly what happened, but he wasn't about to tell her that he told her that he loved her.

Dana was surprised. "You said that?" she wondered.

"You were already asleep. Well, uhh, actually…I kind of waited until I was sure you were asleep," he admitted.

Dana was shocked. She didn't know what to do or say in return. So she said the only thing she could think of. "We should probably get back."

Logan frowned. Not the response he'd been hoping for. Logan sighed. "Yeah," he agreed, "lets go."


A/N: Aww. I wrote it but I hate that Dana just goes "We should probably get back." in response to Logan telling her he liked her. Poor Logan. Oh well. lol. Anyway, next chapter definitely isn't as long. It's almost 4 Microsoft Word pages Times New Roman font size 12 with no author's notes. It's mostly Dana and Logan again. I'll post it after I get at least…6 reviews? It's long so there's plenty to review so I'm going to say 6 this time. Thanks! Bye!
