Chapter 17

There's Something About…

"Hi I'm calling to make an appointment with Dr. Stevens," she said into the phone the minute she walked in the door. She was beginning to remember things and if Dr. Stevens could offer any help she'd be more than willing to get that advice although she was frightened. She wondered if she had her memory back how her life would change. Would she still be furious with Duncan over what happened today? Would she be madly in love with Piz? What about Logan, would she forgive him for his fling with Madison?

While Dr. Stevens secretary was looking to see when he was available Veronica's mind didn't stop working for a second. Would she remember everything that has happened since she woke up if her memory came back? Would her memory come back completely or in small pieces? Is it possible that she blanked something out? The truth was that as badly as Veronica wanted her memory back she really didn't. She liked this clean slate that she had and she liked where her life was going. She had the most supportive family ever, she had great friends and an amazing guy she liked to make out with. She wondered where things would be with her and Logan if her memory came back. Was she really dating Piz when she had her accident? Would it be wrong of her to get her memory back and leave Logan for Piz?

"Veronica he can see you next Tuesday at 3pm, is that alright," the lady's voice on the other end asked?

"Sure that's great. I'll be there," she said and hung up the phone after marking the appointment on her calendar. At least Keith would be pleased that Veronica was making an effort to see the doctor. Maybe she didn't even need a doctors help, she seemed to be recalling things on her own. Maybe looking at her laptop helped trigger small memories?

She had nothing to do until her post supper date with Logan so she plopped herself down on the couch next to Backup and started watching some tv. There was nothing on so she was just flipping channels. She felt a light vibration from her pocket and she realized it was her cell phone.

"Hello," she said opening the phone without bothering to look at the caller ID.

"Hey beautiful," Logan's voice said through the phone. A smile filled Veronica's face, "I hope I'm not interrupting your lunch date," he said half sarcastic half hopeful.

"Oh god, that ended rather abruptly, actually I'm home with Backup," she said with laughter in her voice. "It was a disaster."

"Imagine that, you and Duncan on a disaster date," he mocked. "Well if your bored why don't we make an afternoon and evening of it. I'll pick you up we grab a late lunch, do a little shopping, and maybe grab dinner and dessert," he asked hopeful that she'd say yes.

"Sounds great, let me take a shower and call my dad to let him know. How about picking me up in half an hour," she asked trying to plan in her head what to wear. She had the perfect idea in her head but she didn't know if she possessed those clothes.

She dialled her father's number and it went straight to voicemail which either meant he was in a meeting, interrogation, or out of their service area. She left him a voicemail letting him know that she'd be out with Logan and he could reach her on her cell phone and she sent her brother a text message as well. She knew he'd want to know that she was out with Logan!

She grabbed a couple of towels and went into the bathroom to take a shower. She was excited and positively happy, she knew that the rest of her day would go great. Things always seemed pretty nice when he was around.

She must have lost track of time because before she knew it she heard the doorbell ring. Since she was home alone she had no choice but to answer the door. She took the towels and wrapped the larger one around her body and the small one was used for her hair. She walked to the door dripping wet and looked out the peep hole and saw Logan standing there with flowers. She smiled and spoke through the door.

"Okay your options are the following. Number one you can stand outside looking completely lonely like some guy who got stood up or number two I can let you in on the condition that you don't laugh at me or make fun of me," she said watching him through the peephole.

She watched Logan watch cock his head and pretend to think about his choices. He seemed to come to a conclusion rather quickly. "I think I like my second choice first. I have this thing about looking like a tool standing outside with flowers in my hands Miss Mars," he said.

Veronica swung the front door open and watched as Logan's face went from happy to see her to wanting to laugh and right back to happy to see her, very happy to see her.

"Oh shut up, you are early," she said playfully punching him in the arm.

"You can put these in a vase or maybe just carry them around with you since you seem kind of on the wet side," he said with a huge smile on his face. He saw the look on her face, "Okay okay, I'll sit nicely on the couch while you go get dressed unless that's the new style and you'll be joining me on the town wearing a towel."

"Yeah I'll be changing," she said as she walked back toward her room. "You know the house right ? Find a vase and put those in water," she shot at him.

"Hey lady, want to come at least greet your guest all proper like," he said standing with his hands on his hips. He was doing a great job of pretending to be a woman who was just disrespected."

"Sorry about that," she said turning around and going back to Logan. She stuck her hand out to shake it, "Nice of you to make it Logan," she said with a smile.

Logan took her hand and used it to pull her close. "Might as well get the first awkward kiss out of the way," he said before giving Veronica a very tender but nice kiss.

"That was nice how about another one," she said with a smile on her face forgetting for a moment that she was very scantily clad and dripping water all over the hard wood floors. She planted a kiss on Logan's lips and let out a little laugh.

"What's so funny," he asked when Veronica released him from his embrace.

"I was just imagining my father walking in right this very second." The look on Logan's face was comical enough. "Okay, I'm really going to go change now. I'll be back in a few minutes."

Veronica went to her bedroom to change and Logan decided to not only put the flowers on water but to also grab the mop and clean up Veronica's little drippings. When Veronica emerged a few minutes later Logan stood there with his mouth agape.

She hadn't had time to blow dry her hair straight so it was slightly damp and very wavy. She had put on a nice pair of tight dark blue jeans and a form fitting white tank top and a cute pair of kitten heels. She wasn't over done at all but she looked stunning and Logan couldn't hide his desire for her.

"Come over here," he said motioning her over to him.

"I think its best we get out of here before my dad really does come home and find us making out in the living room," she said as she approached him.

"In that case we better leave," he said as he put his arm around her lower back and escorted her out of the house. "I'll bring her back in one piece okay Backup," he joked.

The pair got into the car and resisted kissing each other. If Logan had his way he'd lock himself and Veronica in a room and just make out all day. He didn't think that Veronica minded either but he had to be a gentleman.

"So where do you want to go," he asked her as the drove down the street. "Are you super hungry or maybe a little nibble like hungry."

"Anywhere but the boardwalk is good with me," she said as she joked and then began to explain the lunch date fiasco with Duncan earlier in the day.

"You've got to be kidding me, he actually said that your break up paved our relationships way," he said looking completely appalled. There was no denying that Logan felt that Duncan had never really valued their friendship the way Logan did. Logan had a very tough exterior that took a lot of time to penetrate but once you did, he was loyal til the end. If Logan loved you as a friend or a girlfriend, he'd love you forever. He had gotten the feeling that Duncan didn't value their friendship as much and that was clearly obvious the second time around that Duncan and Veronica dated. Logan had always tried to remain friends with Duncan when he and Veronica were dating but it seemed like Duncan wanted to shelter Veronica away from Logan.

"Yeah and that was probably the nicest thing he had to say," Veronica felt her face getting all red from frustration. "I swear the old me must have horrible taste in men," she said with a laugh knowing good and well that he was one of her other horrible taste in men. "Present company excluded that is," she said laying her hand on top of his which was resting on the gear shifter.

"We both made mistakes regarding Duncan," Logan said sadly. He hated to think that Duncan was willing to throw away a friendship like that but he couldn't help it. As much as Logan loved the friendship he used to have with Duncan he much preferred the relationship he had with Veronica. She would honestly ground him. While he was dating, every time he thought of doing something stupid his thoughts would turn to her and he wouldn't be quiet so stupid anymore.

He pulled the car into the parking lot of a place called Mezze. "I hope you still like Greek food," he half asked. "I'm not that hungry but I can nibble and this place has the best stuff."

"Let me guess, you brought me here on our first date," she asked wondering if Logan was as cheesy as Duncan.

"Actually….no. This place is pretty new and I hear that it has awesome food."

"Good because I'm sick of reliving first dates."

The pair walked into the restaurant holding hands. The hostess seated them at a cozy table near the back for some privacy.
