A/N: Hey guys, I know, gasp! I'm back. Sorry it took so long, but I pulled a stupid move and now have two full fledged, totally different stories going on, and even though I love them both equally, I've been so invested in the other one. Anyways, please read it, I like it a lot and no one reviews for it! Also, I suggest if you have an iPod or iTunes to get the Neptune Pirate Radio podcast. I've been listening to the episodes nonstop, and its amazing, and FREE! Without further ado, heres the story.
"Wallace?"
"Yeah, V? What do you need me to do this time?"
"Well actually, I need your advice. Is there anyway you can come over?"
"Sure, I'll be there in like five minutes."
Veronica paced the living room ever since she hung p the phone. All she could think about was kissing Logan. All she wanted to do was hold his hand. It was getting out of control. When Wallace finally arrived, they sat down on the couch. It was silent as Veronica tried to find the right words.
"I kissed Logan," she said, looking for some form of shock in his face.
"Logan Echolls?"
"Yes."
"Your best friend's ex-boyfriend and your ex-boyfriend's best friend?" Wallace asked. Veronica nodded.
"I'm not surprised," he stated, matter-of-factly.
"Wallace, what am I going to do? I like him a lot," Veronica stated, not bothering to ask Wallace what he meant about not being surprised.
"Then go out with him. If you have to deal with Lilly and Duncan, at least do it together. But I think you should be talking to him about it, not me."
Wallace had a point, and before she knew it, she was knocking on his front door.
Aaron was going to be gone for a week, and Logan couldn't have been happier. He was walking around the house whistling. This was going to be the best week of his life. It only got better when he opened the door to find the subject of his day dreams smiling back at him.
Veronica looked beautiful. Her blonde hair was in pigtails, and she looked so innocent. He wordlessly mentioned for her to come in. It was funny how only they could have a whole conversation without saying one word.
"We need to talk," she finally said. She was sitting on the couch. The same couch Aaron was fucking on only two days ago, Logan thought. And the same couch that you shared your first kiss with the woman you love on, his mind added. He snapped back to reality.
"About what?" He gave her his best smile, and tried to look like he had no idea why she would want to talk to him.
"What's…what's going on with us?" She seemed uncomfortable and she shifted positions.
"You wanna know the truth, Veronica? No lies?" Logan asked. She said nothing but Logan knew to continue.
"I've loved you when I first saw you. When Duncan told me that you two were 'destined to be together' my heart broke, and I knew I couldn't do anything about what I was feeling. I threw myself at Lilly then. I learned to love her pretty quickly. My love for her was equal to what I felt for you. But now, I feel something completely different."
Veronica's face fell, and Logan kept going.
"Something happened to you this year, Veronica. Lilly isn't overshadowing you. You are sarcastic, and annoying……and amazing. I don't know how to explain it, but its like, now, you're my equal. You are the Jekyll to my Hyde. And now, I feel something so indescribably wonderful. Veronica, I love you more than can be conveyed by the word love. I need you."
Veronica was speechless. Logan was here, sitting on this couch, professing these feelings for her. Her mind was going a mile a minute. He started to inch towards her when she caved into her better judgment and kissed him. The way he put his hand on her cheek, and the way he would kiss her forehead when they finally pulled away made her want to forget everything in the world and just stay in his arms forever. However, she reluctantly pulled away, and stared into his eyes.
"What are we going to tell Duncan and Lilly?" she asked, her voice no louder than a whisper.
"Do they have to know? Maybe we should just wait a while and see how it goes," he answered, his volume matching hers.
The next day at school, Logan and Veronica walked down the hallway with their heads held high and their fingers latched together. Inside Veronica's bag, her forgotten phone was buzzing. On the other side of the line, Lilly was tapping her foot, obviously bored with the ringing.
"Come on, Mars. Pick up your phone. I don't want to leave this on a message!" But after she said this, a sly smile played on her lips.
When she heard Veronica's perky voice telling her to leave a message, Lilly sang into the receiver, "I got a surprise for you!" And with that, she clicked off the phone and entered the JFK airport terminal.
