Drunk Logan
Ch. 21

A/N: ok, my longest update so far...enjoy...and remember...I own nadda.

"Good morning." Logan looked around to see Keith smiling back at him.

"Morning," he said with a quiet, raspy voice. He began to get up until he recognized the weight on his leg was Veronica. He looked down and saw that she was still sound asleep.

"Looks like you guys fell asleep watching t.v., huh?"

"Y, Yeah, she fell asleep first. I, I thought about carrying her to her bed, but I was afraid to lift her, you know, because of her bruises." Logan was really wishing that he hadn't been caught "sleeping" with Keith Mars' daughter...especially by Keith Mars.

Because of the relationship he'd started to build with Mr. Mars, he had gained a certain amount of respect for him. He didn't want Keith to ever think that Logan was trying to take advantage of Veronica.

"It's okay, Logan. I understand. How's she doing?" Keith appreciated the boy's nervous attitude. Some fathers might take that as a sign of guilt. He'd known Logan for a long time, though. He knew that Logan usually wasn't bashful or respectful to adults. The fact that Logan was showing either, showed a maturity about him that hadn't been there before.

"Pretty good. Her spirits are doing fine. We met with the security detail last night...Did you meet them? I gave them a description of you."

"Yeah, we talked for a little bit when I got home." Both of them were still speaking just above a whisper.

"Did you find anything out about Troy yet?" Logan knew that Keith planned on talking to the Sheriff, but that he wouldn't stop there. Keith would want to get his own information, follow his own leads and find his own answers. Logan knew that he and Veronica didn't trust Lamb to do his job. Now that Logan knew about his reaction to Veronica's rape report, he understood why.

"A little. Nothing to go on yet, but it's a start. We've got the ex-girlfriend angle. I'm not sure how, if Troy's obsessed with Veronica, the ex plays into all of this. Is it a coincidence that they both went missing at the same time? Are they working together? Is he using her for something? There are a lot of unanswered questions. We're also following up on places he could have gone with or without the girl. The Sheriff's Department has their computer tech going through Troy's files to see if they can get any clues from e-mails, recent web searches, things like that."

"I'll be going in again today, unless you need to do something else?"
"No, no. Go find him, I'll be here. I just want him taken care of ASAP!" Logan loved having Veronica staying with him, but he'd rather know for sure that she was safe.

"Well, that's my plan. I'm gonna get going. Let her know I'll call her later." Keith patted Logan on the back as he moved toward the door. He stopped, looked back at Logan and said, "Take care of her, Logan."

"Don't worry, I will," he said as looked down at her with veneration.

Logan and Veronica spent the day getting caught up on their homework. They were both planning to go back to school on Monday and didn't want to be too far behind. Veronica knew that she had a great excuse and that her teachers would be more than willing to work with her. She was an excellent student normally. She also knew, though, that she would have enough to deal with when she returned. She didn't want extra school work hanging over her head.

"Well, school should be fun on Monday," Veronica said sarcastically.

"Yeah." He knew she was justified for feeling apprehensive about returning, and he wanted to make her feel better. "It'll be alright. We'll just have to avoid them as much as possible and ignore the ones we can't." Logan shrugged. He hated the thought of her going back to school and facing the vultures.

"What do you mean, we? Unless you've forgotten, you are the 'King of Neptune High.'" She replied as she stuck her nose in the air and batted her eyelashes. She had the slightest smirk on her face.

"Oh, shut up! We all have our crosses to bear in life. Can I help it that every guy wants to be me and every chic wants to get into my pants." They busted out laughing.

"And, yes, I mean WE. It'll be a little hard to hide when everyone sees you getting out of my car." He chuckled a little.

Veronica hesitated.

"Right?"

"Well, I was thinking that I would drive myself." She looked at the blank look on his face. "I mean, there's no need for you to have to deal with all of this. It'll just be easier this way." She was fidgeting a little.

"What are you talking about, Veronica? How will it be easier to deal with all of this by yourself? That just doesn't make any sense."

"Look, Logan. Either way, I'm going to have to put up with the rumors and comments and graffiti on my locker. There's no reason to involve you in it."

"You think I'm going to let you put up with all of that and sit idly by and what? Just watch as people try to destroy you? You've got to be kidding me?" He was irritated that she would even suggest such a thing.

"Logan, it's no big deal. I've been dealing with this for a year now. Contrary to recent behavior, I'm not the soft girl I used to be. I can and have been handling Neptune High."

"But you don't have to. I can protect you from all of it...or at least, a lot of it." He was talking fast, hoping she would let him finish and would accept reason. If she truly thought that it would make things easier for her to not let people see them together, then he might submit to her wishes.

"I don't want you to protect me!" She was speaking just as fast and her voice was raised. At his hurt look, she continued.

"Look, you have taken care of me this whole week and you have protected me from the world. I appreciate that, I really do, but you've done so much already. You've been a shoulder for me to cry on, over and over again. You've taken care of my physical and emotional needs. You've even gone as far as to open your house to my dad and me."

"Logan, this is my chance to protect you. Let me take care of you for a change." Veronica knew what to expect at school and she didn't want Logan to have to deal with it. Not that he would be ostracized the way she had been, but it would leave him open to a host of rumors and backstabbing.

None of what had happened in the last week had been his fault or had really involved him at all. If he hadn't been there when she found the information on Duncan's journal, he would have never known about it. He never would have been subjected to rumors about being serviced in the Xterra.

If he hadn't been so worried about her after the revelation from Duncan's journal, he never would have come looking for her after Troy had attacked her. He wouldn't have been with her day and night, missing school and subjecting himself to more speculation. He had been there to pick up the pieces and Veronica didn't know what she would have done if he hadn't. She needed to repay him somehow.

Logan couldn't believe what he was hearing. She was trying to throw herself under the bus in an effort to be noble. It frustrated him because he had spent the entire week wishing he could have done more and prevented or taken away some of her pain.

She was still acting like she was on her own. She wasn't convinced that he would be there even at risk to himself. He needed to figure out how to get her to stop thinking that way and understand how much he needed to be there for her. He promised himself that, no matter what, he would never sever their friendship again. He would never treat her the way he had after Lilly died, even if nothing more than friendship developed between them.

"You really want to pay me back for everything I've done for you?" At her nod he continued, "You really want to take care of me and protect me?" He was looking into her eyes letting her know he wasn't playing around. He was serious and he wanted her to know it.

"Yes, Logan. I really do." She was pleading with him.
"Then let me have this. The best way that you can help me, the best way for you to take care of me is to let me stand by you. Let me do now what I should have done after Lilly died." He grabbed her shoulders and shook her slightly to emphasize his point.

"But, Logan..." She was cut off when he continued.

"Please, Ronnie. Do you want me to be miserable? Because that's what I'll be if you don't let me do this." He waited for her response, but he was preparing himself to continue his argument when she spoke softly.

"Okay, Logan, okay. I'll go on record right now saying that I think it's a bad idea, but if this is what you want, then okay." She looked up at him in time to see his serious, panic-stricken face turn into a giddy smile.

He practically leapt at her, but stopped before he could hurt her. He gave her a light hug.

"Thank you, Ronnie, thank you. You won't regret this." He was whispering into her ear.

She pulled back a little and looked at him. "I may not, but you probably will."

"Don't you worry about me. Like you said, I am the King of Neptune High. My subjects won't mutiny." They laughed. He wasn't willing to let her worry about this or stay depressed. He wouldn't stand for it.

The fear and uncertainty on her face was enough to break his heart; whereas her smile was enough to make his heart skip a beat and her laugh was intoxicating. He would do whatever he could to stay "drunk" on her.

He'd never known a better feeling. He was sure of it now. He had thought that maybe it had just been so long since he'd experienced such happiness and devotion to someone that he'd forgotten. He
knew now, though, that this was definitely a first.

On Sunday, Logan and Veronica slept in and ate a late breakfast. They still had some homework to catch up on, but were also expecting Logan's parents to come home. They would be having dinner with them and probably visit for a little while.

Veronica was looking forward to seeing Lynn again. She had always been really great with all of the kids, but Veronica had a special closeness with the woman. In fact, when Lilly and Logan had been dating, there were many times that they would disappear for a while, leaving Veronica alone with Lynn. They would talk and laugh and on occasion, Lynn would plan for them to do something together. There were times when they would help Mrs. Navarro in the kitchen, "helping" with dinner or even dessert. Although Mrs. Navarro was always very accommodating, Veronica knew that her job would have been easier if she and Lynn had stayed out of the way. Their focus had always been on the fun aspects of being in the kitchen, not the actual accomplishment of finishing whatever project they were working on.

There were other times, when Lynn's style team was at the house, that she would include Veronica in on the fun. They would get manicure's together, have their hair done, and anything else that they could do while gossiping away. Veronica often wondered if his mother knew what Logan and Lilly were doing when they stepped out of the room for an hour, but neither ever mentioned it.

Veronica didn't really know what to expect from Aaron. He had never spent a lot of time at home, therefore Veronica had never spent a lot of time around him. He always seemed nice enough, just never around. She guessed she'd at least get a couple of days to get to know him before he left again. She was very grateful to all of the Echolls' for opening up their home to her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Veronica had finally felt well enough to actually spend some time in the pool with Logan. She had been spending all of her time in the hot tub in order to help her aching body. Although they weren't horsing around too much, it was still a nice change of pace.

They were playing a 2-person version of 'Marco, Polo' and laughing at how stupid they were when they heard voices.

"Veronica! Oh, honey. It is so great to see you again!" Veronica got out of the pool and grabbed her towel as she headed over to Lynn.

"Mrs. Echolls', It's wonderful to see you, too." The women embraced. Although Veronica was still sore, Lynn's grip wasn't too tight. It only hurt a little.

"Now has it really been so long that you've actually forgotten my name?" Veronica pulled back and gave her a confused look. Lynn continued, "you know as well as anything that my name is Lynn." She gave her a pointed look and they both laughed.

"Yeah, Lynn." Veronica breathed out and her eyes were watery. She felt very emotional about the reunion. It had been so long since she'd felt such care from any adult woman, she didn't realize how much she missed it.

It'd been almost a year since her mom had left town and longer than that since she'd hung out with Lynn. She didn't want to leave the woman's embrace, but finally stepped back and looked up at Aaron, who was standing by his wife.

"Hello, Mr. Echolls. Thank you so much for inviting my dad and me into your home, and for hiring the extra security. It is so generous of you." She was being sincere and hoped that he understood how much they truly did appreciate it. None of the Echolls' had kept contact with the Mars family when Keith was recalled from his position as Sheriff. The fact that they were now offering their help was a big deal.

"Nonsense, anything we can do to help." He gave her that movie star smile of his, then added, "Oh, and Veronica?"
"Yes?"

"My name is Aaron, in case you forgot." He winked at her and they all laughed.

"Aa...ron, Aa..ron" She pronounced real slowly and then nodded her head showing she had it. They continued to laugh.

When the laughter had died down a bit, Lynn gave Veronica a long look and then sighed. She caressed Veronica's cheek and knowing what she was seeing had been healing for several days already, said "It must have been a good one, huh?" Veronica smiled a little and nodded her head slightly.

"Do you mind?" She said as she motioned to Veronica's towel. Veronica shrugged, turned around and let the towel fall from her body. Her bruises and scrapes, although healing nicely, were still obvious in her bikini.

Logan had been watching the entire interaction silently and cringed when Veronica bared herself to his parents, who both seemed upset. He looked at her face briefly to make sure that she was alright and then looked back at his parents.

There was a sadness and an empathy in his mother's eyes that he knew all too well. She'd felt that kind of pain before and it was something she wished Veronica hadn't shared with her.

When Logan looked to his father, the anger that had been displayed on his face was replaced with something else. He couldn't quite place it until he realized that his father wasn't really concentrating on her bruises anymore. In fact his eyes were scanning her entire body.

"Well, we need to go get changed for dinner. Keith said he really wanted to be home for dinner to thank you personally, so we'd better hurry." He said as he replaced her towel and ushered her out.

"Oh, okay." His mother seemed confused. "We'll see you in a little bit, then."

Logan looked back to see his father still watching them, this time with a small smile on his face. He cringed again, this time thinking about what his father might have been smiling about.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They had a nice dinner and Keith thanked Lynn and Aaron several times for their help. They visited for a while after they ate until it was time to start winding down for the night. Keith had already told them that he would be leaving again after dinner. He wanted to take as much time as he could, when he knew that Veronica had a lot of protection, to work on finding Troy.

Keith left and Logan and Veronica excused themselves. They still needed to get ready for the school day ahead of them.

Veronica took a shower to rid herself of the chlorine from the pool. She wrapped her towel around her and walked into her bedroom laughing to herself. 'Yeah, I could get used to having a bathroom attached to my room.'

She walked the three feet to the dresser. She bent down to retrieve her pajamas and was about to take her towel off when she heard something behind her. She turned around and jumped at the sight that greeted her. Standing in the now open doorway was Aaron.

"Oh, uh, hi Aaron. I didn't realize you were standing there." She was shocked and embarrassed by the fact that she had been seconds away from being naked in front of him.

"Hey, Veronica. That's alright. Guess I should have made more noise." He was smooth and showed no signs of the awkwardness that Veronica felt.

"Oh, that's alright. I just didn't realize you were there. Is there something that you needed?" Veronica was beginning to feel a different kind of discomfort and she wasn't sure of where it was coming from. She tightened her towel and kept a firm grip on it.

"Huh? Needed?" He was looking at her with a look that she couldn't quite decipher, but she chocked it up to his melodramatic ways. It seemed like he was always putting on a performance, no matter how large or small the crowd. "Oh, wanted. I just wanted to check on you," He said as he walked toward her slowly, pushing the door as he advanced.

"I just wanted to let you know that you can come to me if you need something, anytime day or night. I'll do whatever I can to help you relax and enjoy your stay with us, as best as possible under the circumstances." He had reached her and began to circle behind her. She was frozen in place, her eyes wide and her breaths coming short and shallow.

She was sure she must be reading the situation wrong, but she wasn't sure what to think. He hadn't been embarrassed and retreated when he found her in only her towel. He had, in fact, approached her. The way he was speaking to her was throwing her off balance. The actual words he was saying
were kind words, but there seemed to be an underlying meaning in them and his tone of voice supported that theory. She didn't know what she should do. She didn't want to completely misread the situation and then embarrass both of them, casting a dark cloud over her stay there.

"You know, this," he said as he softly swept the back of two of his fingers across the scrape on her upper back. "This should never have happened to you. I'm sorry that this boy, Troy, laid his hands on you. You should feel safe," he was still caressing her back and he was standing so close to her that she could swear she felt his breath on her neck. She had chills running across her skin.

"I am here to make you feel safe. I..."

"Veronica?" Aaron stepped away from her as her door opened fully. "Dad? What are you doing in here?" Logan had been passing by Veronica's room when he heard his father's voice. When he stopped to listen, he felt like there was something off about the conversation. He noticed the lack of Veronica's response to his father's statements.

When he decided to intervene and pushed the door open, he was stunned by the view in front of him. Veronica, clutching with white knuckles at a towel around her body, looking like she was in a state a shock. His father was standing at a comfortable distance from her, but he was behind her. Logan wasn't sure what he had interrupted, but he was glad that he had.

"Oh, I was just checking on Veronica. You know, letting her know that we're all here for her." He said, still not leaving the room.

"Oh, uh, that's nice of you." Since his father didn't seem ready to leave, Logan needed to figure out how to get him away from Veronica. "I, uh, just came to ask Veronica if she could help me with one of our class assignments. You know, just trying to make sure I've got everything done before school tomorrow." He wasn't sure that it would work until he finally heard her voice, the first time since he had been listening outside her door.

"Oh, yeah. Let me help you with that," she jumped in quickly as she moved toward him. Then she added over her shoulder, "thanks, Aaron."

She grabbed Logan's hand and led him out of her room toward his. She was tense and moving quickly. They reached his room and he shut the door behind them. He saw her breathe out a sigh of relief and she seemed to be a little shaky.

"So, what was it you needed help with?" She said, looking around the room and avoiding eye contact with him. He walked up to her and gently grabbed her shoulders, turning her to face him.

"Are you alright?" He said, looking deeply into her eyes.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" He could tell she was lying and it concerned him. His father had obviously made her uncomfortable and that was the last thing she needed. He wasn't completely blind. He knew that his father was a ladies man, but Veronica was Logan's age. 'He can't be attracted to her. That would be sick!' Logan thought about the implications of Aaron hitting on an underage girl and he shuttered.

"Well, the fact that you rushed out of your room to come here and help me with school work...in a towel and..." he raised his eyebrow and tilted his head, "nothing else?"

She looked down at herself and immediately blushed. "Yeah, huh."

She didn't know what to say. 'What do you do? Tell the boy who has done so much for you over the past week and opened his home to you, that you think his father is a little creepy? Well, that's the way to be grateful.'

"I, um, forgot about that. So nice of you to point it out, though." They chuckled. "Now, how exactly can I be of assistance?"

"Actually, nothing." When she gave him a confused look, he continued. "I was just passing by your room and heard my dad. I wanted to say goodnight, but when I came in, you looked really uncomfortable. I thought I'd rescue you. So, am I your knight in shining armor now? Cause you know, I could totally pull off the metallic look." He said as he brushed back his hair.
"Yeah, okay, Logan. Whatever makes you feel better." She didn't want to tell him, but she did feel like he had saved her, in a sense. It's not that she thought she was in any sort of danger with Aaron, just a very awkward situation. Even if she had interpreted his actions correctly, she had no idea what she would have said to him without worsening the situation.

"So, you're agreeing then, right?" He had a playful twinkle in his eye that made her nervous.

"Yeah," she said very slowly, trying to figure out what he was trying to accomplish.

"Well, you know," he was smirking and Veronica narrowed her eyes at him. "It is customary for the Knight who saves the damsel in distress to get some sort of reward." He waggled his eyes and expected her to bust out laughing.

Instead, she looked directly into his eyes. "That's true," she said in a low voice as she moved slowly toward him, stalking him like a lion toward her prey.

"I wonder," speaking quietly as began to circle him dragging one finger along his body as she moved. "Just what type of reward," she had completely circled him and was standing in front of him, "does my Knight deserve?" She squeezed his arm to punctuate her point.

His mouth was dry and his breathing had shallowed. He swallowed audibly awaiting her next move. He looked down at her with an intensity she'd not seen before. He was great at the intense looks, but something was different this time. She watched as his jaw tightened and he gritted his teeth.

She placed her hands on his chest, leaning into him while he stood stoic, following her movements with only his eyes. She slowly glided her cheek across his as her mouth got closer to his ear.

"Thank you." She breathed out, making him lightheaded. As she slowly pulled back, she gently kissed his cheek. She giggled softly and he let out a shaky breath. She began to step away until she felt a pair of strong hands wrap around her hips. She looked into his eyes and suddenly everything got very serious. She stopped giggling, she didn't move an inch.

"Look, I know that I started this little...game," he started slowly, "but, I don't think you understand what you're doing, Ronnie." His voice was at a low rumble.

"What do you mean?" She thought that maybe she'd upset him.

"We decided we needed to wait until after everything settles down before we moved beyond friendship, right?" At her nod, he continued. "And, is that what you still want?" She nodded again.

"Well, then, you need to understand something. Seeing you half naked last week after Troy had hurt you made me more mad than turned on. Do you understand the key word there, Ronnie? More. More mad than turned on, not only mad. That was at a time when you could barely move because of the pain. I could barely touch you."

"Now, though, you choose a time when you are almost healed and next to naked to 'reward me.' I don't think you have any idea of what you are doing to me, and if you don't stop..." He kissed her cheek to let her know he wasn't angry with her, "You see, last week when I saw your body, all I could see was a scenario involving me killing Troy. Right now, all I can see is a scenario where that towel, you know?" He motions to the towel wrapped around her and she nods. "Well, that towel...is pooled on the floor...and you're moaning my name while I'm feasting on all that is you." He pressed his erection against her stomach to prove his point. They had not broken eye contact until that moment, when she blushed furiously and ducked her head.

"I, I, I'm sorry." She didn't know what she was saying or why she was sorry. The only thing she knew was that every inch of her body was tingling from the imagery he had created, the seduction of his voice, and the hardness of his body.

He put a finger under her chin and lifted her face so she was making eye contact again.

"There's no need to be sorry. I know that we both want to make sure we're doing the right thing and that we don't ruin our friendship." He was speaking softly to her. "I just thought you should know what you do to me and maybe we can be more careful in the future. Okay?" He leaned in and gave her a lingering kiss on her forehead.

She closed her eyes, "uh-huh, more careful." She felt like she was in a haze that she couldn't snap herself out of.

"Good. So, I'll walk you back to your room and make sure you are visitor-free. Then, you can get dressed and tuck yourself into your own cozy bed...far away from mine." They chuckled.

He walked her back to her room and put his hand on the small of her back as he guided her through the doorway.

"Well, looks like it's all clear. You, my dear, have a good night's sleep and I'll see you in the morning." He tapped her nose with his finger and turned to leave. He stopped when he reached the door and turned back to her, "Ronnie, lock your door, okay?"

She nodded her head and watched him walk away, closing her door as he went. She followed his path and locked her door. She got dressed and climbed into bed thinking only of Logan and the scene that had played out in his room.

Logan made his way to his cold shower and was sure that he had just earned sainthood. He knew that if it had been anyone else or any other time, he would have taken full advantage of the towel-clad situation. He fell into a fitful sleep, dreaming only of her and all that he would like to experience with her.

SaraLyleth: I know, they are just being dense, huh? As long as I'm around my computer, you've got another 20 some odd chapters coming. I'll keep your ability to keep a secret in mind. How's this... XXX'XX EE IIIIIIIIII TT KKKK TTTT TTTT KKKKKKK V AAA TTTTT HHH TT MMMMMM. Okay, that was a HUGE plot line secret!!! How was that?

xosummerxo: Well...mmmmmmmmm...(sound of me keeping my mouth shut) in regard to your ideas of what is going to happen. I can tell you that Duncan will be a more prominent part of the storyline shortly. See! Look at me, giving up info all over the place. :-)

IluvVM: Well, so glad I am here to entertain you!!! Ok, ok, ok. Honestly, there might be a certain author, who has not updated any of her really great stories since December. Every time I see her around the internet, I e-mail her...just to check in and see if she's any closer to updating and to let her know that I think her writing is worth following up on. She's great about it and replies to my e-mails and keeps me up to date. We jokingly refer to me as her stalker. HEY, I SAID JOKINGLY! Heeheehee. Anyway, I love your reviews, too. Thanks so much!

Literati and naley forever: Ok, since I seem to be in the mood to give out hints today...Duncan will find out about LoVe...but I can't tell you when. Sorry! Thank you for the review. I like when they do normal stuff, too. Although, I like the angst, too. I'm just so split. Let's have a little of both, shall we?

ShmexyShmexyHinny: lol. It sounds like I hurt you. But, yes more, more, more...hey, I even gave you an extra long chapter.

AJzkitten69: Yes, you must have a little bit of fluffy LoVe or really, what do you have:-)

VMLoVeR87: Oh, no, my dear. We have a misunderstanding somewhere. I'm just about done with ch. 45 right now. There will be a couple of chapters after that, but no. You still have at least 3 weeks left of daily updates. So much more to come. We've only just begun. :-)

09nerLoVer: Thank you...and I'm sure I was blushing while writing that scene.

RBDFAN: Thank you!!!

Adja: Look at you, you just keep popping up, don't you. I hope you are enjoying yourself. Hmmm...you will probably be catching up on 3, possibly 4 chapters. Oh, I don't know. There's a lot of action in that amount of chapters. :-)

jennaml2709: anxious much? Yeah, I know. Keep your mittens on, we'll have some more LoVe moments.

Lorelei Candice Black: Well, remember, though. They are still waiting on the test result of the DNA test. Veronica hasn't wanted to face Duncan yet, knowing that they could be siblings. If Logan told Duncan, how could he explain that V didn't want Duncan's involvement without saying too much? Don't worry, Duncan will be informed of things soon enough.

LoVeElle: heeheehee, I KNOW! I like Mrs. Navarro, but I really wish she would have waited just like 10 minutes. What can I do? The characters have a mind of their own! I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much, though.

Lagurlroks: I'm so glad you can actually picture it happening. I write it based on the pictures I see in my head so I'm glad it comes across for you. THANKS!!

LoVeNaleyJamLiterati23: Well, I hope you are enjoying your time at camp...or enjoyed it. Sorry, but I can't stop the update machine. You'll just have to read, read, read:-)
