Thanks for alerts and thanks to the reader who favorited this fic!
I do want to address the only review that i got for my edited first chapter, thanks for the review btw, but i thought some of you might have the same concerns. I AM NOT CHANGING THIS STORY! so dont worry, i am merely editing it. my goal is to make it easier to read. all plot points will remain and the end will be the same i promise. the only thing i am changing is grammar spelling, time elapsed (prologue), and maybe adding some dialougue. this will be the same story that you originally enjoyed, just hopefully better.
This chapter Logan's POV.
"No Veronica, She's alive."
1 hour earlier
"Mac? Really?" I stood there looking at Dick in utter disbelief.
"Yeah man, it's for real, I finally got her to go out with me. Took me freaking long enough though, I've never had to try so hard in my life. Usually the chicks are lining up around the corner for a piece of the Dick-man."
"Yeah Dick, you're a real catch." I laughed.
"Think what you want man, it's true. Anyways I'm outta here, gotta go track down my girl, see ya bro!"
"Yeah, see ya."
When Dick was gone I sat on my couch staring at the TV and letting my mind wander. I'd been doing that a lot lately and my mind always wandered to the same place…Veronica, she was all I thought about.
It had been two weeks since she'd come to me and told me she wanted me but wasn't ready and I'd told her that I'd wait for her and I'd meant it. I'd been in love with her for so long and even though she still hadn't said it, I knew she loved me too. Now I was positive of that.
She had called me everyday just to check in and every time I told her I loved her and that I'd be there when she was ready. I was more than willing to wait, but I had to admit that I wished she would come soon. It had been too long since I'd held her, too long since I'd felt her skin against mine.
As my mind began to recall a few X-rated memories, I was rudely jolted back to the present when someone knocked on the door to my suite. I got up and walked over to the door figuring Dick had left his key, what I didn't expect was to find myself looking at Duncan Kane and a small blond toddler who looked exactly like her mother.
We both just stood there for a minute or two not talking. But having less patience than the two of us, the little girl eventually started to fuss, jumped out of Duncan's arms and ran straight past me and into the suite. I looked at the little girl and then at Duncan. "Well why don't you come in then?"
We spent the next 10 minutes just watching Duncan's daughter Lilly run around. And then 5 minutes just yelling at each other, both of us angry for different reasons. Duncan at me for not helping him or trying to contact him, and myself at Duncan for just leaving without a word. When we realized we were mad about the same thing we both laughed.
And then Duncan asked about Veronica.
I'd known it was coming, but I wasn't looking forward to it.
She was mine and that was for sure, but Duncan still loved her, I could tell and he might not be willing to just accept that he was never going to have her.
I told him what had happened the last year and a half, leaving out a few details of course and I was about to tell him about the tape when there was another knock at the door.
When I opened it I found myself looking straight at the love of my life. I was so overcome with joy that I actually forgot that Duncan was sitting a mere 10 feet behind me. Veronica looked up at me and I could actually see the love in her eye, god she was so beautiful and I could see everything else as well, the longing and the passion were evident.
Then she noticed Lilly, the spell was broken and I saw the confusion in her eyes when she laid them on Duncan.
But she looked back at me and she smiled before turing her attention back to him and I saw him smile at her as well, but there was something wrong with that smile. It was in that moment that I knew that he couldn't be trusted.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him outright
"I need your help." His reply was quick and felt almost as if it had been rehearsed, like he knew how she'd react to him and what he'd need to say.
And then out of nowhere she kissed me; a deep passionate kiss, making it very clear that she was mine and no one else's. It was all the reassurance that I needed, she was proving to me that nothing was going to change, she belonged to me and it was proof to him of the same, he had no chance with her.
When she pulled away I told her I loved her and she grasped my hand as she asked Duncan what he needed help with.
"I need you to help me find someone. It's important, I'm not here to disrupt your life or get in the way of things." Duncan said the last part while staring straight at our joined hands. "It's just that you were my last resort"
"Who? Who could be that important? Who would you risk returning to Neptune to find Duncan?" She questioned.
He walked over and stood directly in front of us. "Meg. I need you to help me find Meg."
Shit...I immediately went stiff, but without missing a beat, Veronica replied "Meg is dead Duncan."
He looked straight into her eyes and said. "No Veronica, She's alive." And then he paused briefly. "But you already knew that didn't you?"
So what do you think? Review please.
i might post 3 and 4 today since they follow this premise.
