Logan's Story: Part 1

Veronica, standing in front of her locker, looks at her phone in astonishment. She and Logan have been dating three months and it has been a roller coaster to say the least. Initially they kept their relationship a secret but a sadly mistimed surprise birthday party for Logan by his father had put their relationship in the open. To Veronica's surprise, Logan had let everyone know that she was his girlfriend and important to him. They had managed to get through discovering cameras in the pool house, Logan's admittance that he brought drugs to Shelly's party the night Veronica got raped, finding out Duncan was not her brother, Veronica learning that Aaron abused Logan, Logan discovering her files on Lilly's murder, Logan admitting that he wasn't in Mexico when Lilly was murdered, and Logan's mother deciding to divorce his father when Logan showed her the tapes from the pool house. It had almost seemed too much for Veronica, skeptical that they should be together when they always seemed to have to deal with a major life threatening issue. However, Logan was sure about his feelings for her and he had been determined to show her that they belonged together. Since the day he asked her for time to show her that they did belong together, Veronica had to admit that he was making a convert out of her.

Every day he shows her in so many ways that he cares about her and that she is important to him. He was firm with his friends that Veronica is going to be around a long time if he has anything to say about it and if they don't like it, they need to keep it to themselves or quit being his friend. He is openly romantic when they are together. He opens doors for her, seats her before he sits and he makes sure she is comfortable in all situations before he turns his attention to anything else. He always opens the car door for her. She has gotten used to him holding her hand, walking with his arm around her or just sitting holding her close to him. He arrived early to her apartment the day after their discussion and made her heart pancakes with bacon while she showered and got dressed. He brings her flowers for no reason; sometimes one rose with its thorns removed, sometimes a bunch of daisies or tulips. He comes over with ice cream when she is frustrated and when her father is out of town, he brings her dinner so she doesn't have to cook. At school, he knows what she likes and surprises her with her favorite meals for lunch. He even brings her treats when she is doing a stake out. When she is working at Mars Investigations after school, Logan goes over and walks Back Up before he goes surfing. She found a stuffed bear in her locker with a shirt that said, 'I love you beary much'. She couldn't believe he remembered her joke about winning her a bear at ring toss. Logan shrugs off any teasing he gets about Veronica owning him and just smiles at his girlfriend. For their three month anniversary, he bought her a locket that has LoVe engraved on the front and always on the inside. He put a picture of them mugging for the camera after surfing in it. Veronica was truly touched at his thoughtfulness and got used to the warmth of the metal against her skin.

The thing that finally convinced her was how patient he was with their physical relationship. He understood she had reservations about having sex especially after her rape and he never pressured her. When she told him she was ready, he had taken his time and he had really made her first time that she remembers good for her. Slowly she has been getting more comfortable with their physical relationship. Now she loved when he looked at her with darkened eyes. She loved that he desired her. Things were looking up for them and it was almost summer; three months of relaxation and she was very excited about it.

Looking at her phone again, she shakes her head. Unbelievably, he has written a story about them. Looking around and seeing that she is alone, she clicks on the link in Logan's email curious about what kind of story Logan wrote for her.

As the link opens, she reads the title and dedication. Amazed at the idea that Logan wrote her a story and how he thinks they are meant to be, Veronica thinks about how much time he spent doing this for her. Sometimes he just takes her breath away. She knew he tried to be romantic with Lilly but Lilly really wasn't interested in that part of their relationship. Veronica though, thought the little things he did for Lilly and the way he always liked to be touching her was really sweet. She secretly wished that Duncan was more affectionate. It turns out that Lilly and Duncan were both a little reserved like Celeste. She had always thought of Lilly as passionate but thinking back now she sees that Lilly was open about sex but very reserved about love. She looks back at her phone and scrolls down to read a little of the story. She finds she is actually excited to see what he wrote.

Impulsive Marriage

by Logan Echolls

To Veronica Mars, the love of my life. I know that if we hadn't met in Neptune, we would have met somehow.

Chapter 1

Logan Echolls lies in the plush bed and looks up at his new wife as she sits on the edge of the bed. She has pulled the bed sheet around her naked body. Her long blonde hair is a mess from sleep and him running his hands through it. Her heart shaped face is free of makeup, her lush lips red from their kisses and her clear blue eyes flashing with her strong emotions. He watches fascinated as she waves her arms a little wildly, expressive in her upset, "What were we thinking? I mean you can't marry someone you have only known forty eight hours. We don't even live in the same state. My father is going to kill you and then me."

Logan after trying to get her attention twice, reaches over, wraps his arm around her from behind and gently pulls her back into the bed. He rolls over on top of her pinning her to the bed beneath him. He grasps her face in both his hands holding it still to get her attention. Veronica stops talking and looks up at Logan in surprise. He gently says, "Before you and I become unfortunate statistics at the hand of your angry father, we should talk." He looks down at her and gently caresses her face with his right hand. He points out, "We are already married so worrying about whether we were too impulsive and where we live is not going to change that fact." Veronica stays quiet looking up at her husband. He leans down and gently kisses her. He says, "I think we should be married more than twelve hours before a decision is made on whether the marriage is going to work. We should probably actually try to be married and see what happens."

Veronica smiles a little sheepishly at Logan's tone. She admits, "You're right. I'm sorry. I guess I am just…"

Logan inserts helpfully, "Freaking out?"

Veronica agrees, "Yes, freaking out." Letting her gaze run over his straight nose, the dimples in his cheeks and his slightly pointy chin, she shakes her head. Looking back up at him she shares, "I am not the impulsive type. I think things through and make decisions based on sound reasoning." A little helplessly she adds, "I am not the girl who makes an important decision like getting married after only knowing a man for two days."

Amused , Logan teases, "Well it is not every day you meet a man like me."

Shaking her head she chides, "Logan I am serious. What were we thinking getting married so quickly?" Worried she adds, "What are we going to do?"

Unable to resist, he leans down and kisses her softly and sweetly. Leaning back a little he suggests, "Let's order room service. I am starved."

Her mouth drops open in surprise and she parrots, "Room service?"

Nodding he leans over to grab the hotel phone. Picking it up, he depresses the number for the kitchen. When it is answered, he orders, "A ham and cheese omelet, a vegetable omelet minus the onions, two orders of bacon, an order of fresh fruit, two orders of brown toast and a carafe of coffee please."

Frowning a little, Veronica looks at Logan as he hangs up. He teases her, "Don't worry, the vegetable omelet is for me."

Leaning over to look at the clock, Veronica exclaims, "My plane leaves in three hours. I have to go to my room, pack and get to the airport."

Logan looks down at her. He pauses for a few seconds and then mildly says, "I think you should stay here with me for a few days. We have a lot to talk about and we really need to spend some time getting to know each other better before we face the real world."

Slightly panicked, Veronica adds, "I have classes tomorrow and I work on Tuesday."

Quietly and slowly like he is trying to calm a wild horse, Logan tells her, "You'll have to miss a few days of classes and call in at work. This is important." Veronica looks up at Logan in silence. He continues, "We have a lot of decisions to make and you probably need a paparazzi 101 crash course."

Surprised Veronica says, "What?"

Continuing in the same reassuring tone, he explains, "I imagine our marriage will make the tabloids soon." Veronica looks shocked and then horrified. Logan, a little surprised she is so unnerved tells her, "You are an Echolls now. The paparazzi will follow you and question you."

Her mouth drops open, and then she recovers and spits out, "Oh my god!"

In decision mode, Logan says, "We will both rebook our flights for later on in the week. We need to spend some time together and make some plans."

Seeing his point, Veronica points out, "It will cost a lot to rebook out flights."

Brushing her off, he says, "I'll take care of it." Looking down at her he shares, "We will both let whoever we have to know that we will be back late Wednesday." Veronica nods her agreement. Logan looks down at her beautiful face and adds, "I wish we didn't have to be apart until the end of the semester."

He watches as her face softens and she gets that sweet, loving look that convinced him he was a goner for her. She agrees, "Me too."

He feels the familiar desire to kiss her that drew him so strongly to her two days ago. In an absent tone as he is focused on her mouth, "Brunch will be here in forty-five minutes. In the meantime…" He leans down and kisses Veronica.

Veronica looks up from her phone wondering how many chapters are in this story. She absolutely loves it so far. She can't believe he wrote a story about them. Shaking her head, she closes the link down, shuts her locker and walks towards her next class. She was so engrossed in the story that she missed the warning bell and now she is late. Hopefully her English teacher won't give her detention.
