A/N: My humble apologizes for the delay with this story. I'm going to try and work on it in the coming months ... Real life just got in the way. There was a new job, new apartment ... but things have settled into a new routine and I'm hoping to get some writing done. Here's a little something (and I mean little - it's only about 597 words, but I really enjoy them) to keep you guys interested. ;)

Where we left off: ... The moment their eyes lock on one another he feels her body tense up, like she was just caught red handed in some misdeed. He expects her to jump away from him and off the bed as quickly as possible., but she doesn't. They both seem frozen in some form of a standoff - unsure what to say or do next ...

*** Logan's POV ***

He's watching her closely, trying to read the look in her eye, the expression on her face. He expected to see panic, maybe a sprinkling of loathing ... but neither of those are present. Instead she looks surprised, not in a bad way, the look almost borders on puzzled curiosity mixed with confusion.

A dozen different comments he could say in a situation like this zip through his mind. They range from dirty, to flirty, to go-for-the-jugular and if her reaction had been anything other than this - he may have chosen one of them. There was just something about the look in her eye that made every comment dry up at the back of his throat. He is suddenly very aware of his hand as it rests on Veronicas hip, fingers splayed out gently holding on to her.

Caught in the depths of her blue eyes, Logan feels an urge that's somehow both foreign and familiar wash over him. He wants to kiss her, wants to pull her up the length of his body and crush his lips to hers. He can almost see it too, like some cheesy scene in a romance novel where the enemies become lovers. His gaze slips to her lips for a split second and he's unconsciously tilted his head forward.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, a siren sounds - like a submarine when bracing for impact - and thinks he must still be dreaming because he could swear that Veronica moved too - inching a little higher up toward him, almost hypnotized.

He doesn't even realized he's moved his hand from her hip until it's halfway up her back, pressing her tightly against his chest. Her own hand has left his waist and found it's way up his torso to rest against the nape of his neck.

For the millionth time this week Logan feels something shift in his perceptions of everything and likes this new view. The siren in his mind is shrill and he thinks that this very well might be the moment where everything changes. And this time for the better.

The spell is broken by a loud grumble from Logan's stomach. They both jolt slightly apart as it startles them both into reality.

Inwardly Logan chuckles and silently curses what he considers to be unfortunate timing. Seeing the beginnings of panic start to form in Veronica's eyes, he quickly decides to take a chance and side step what could become a very awkward moment.

"Well apparently, I'm hungry. Which means you must be starving. Breakfast?" he asks as if everything is normal, like they didn't just wake up wrapped intimately around one another.

Veronica's smile is almost grateful, relieved for the segue and she nods her head eagerly at the idea of food.

"Alright, room service it is then!" Logan stretches lazily and then rolls out of the bed heading for the phone. "Any requests? I hear that the chocolate belgian waffles are to die for."

He glances over his shoulder to see Veronica getting to her feet, smoothing her dress down and then readjusting the straps. His gaze lingers a little longer than necessary.

"Anything greasy. Lots of bacon." Veronica answers scanning the room. Seeing what she was looking for, Logan's gaze follows her as she walks across the room to grab her bag off the chair. "I'm just going to freshen up in the bathroom, if that's okay?"

Picking the phone up in one hand, Logan gestures toward the bathroom room with the other, "Mi cuarto de baño es su cuarto de baño. Freshen away."
