The Interrogation Specialist 8
New LoVe
Logan walks confidently into the restaurant. The waves were good this morning and he is pleasantly tired. Today was extra special; he had some really good runs and quite a few of the guys were able to make it. They are going to have breakfast together before they head on to their respective days.
He is not the first there so when he walks in the others wave to him. He waves back and then leads the way to the table. Dick and John follow and they find a place to sit at the crowded table just as the waitress arrives to take their drink orders. When it is his turn, Logan skips coffee and opts for a large ice water and orange juice. He looks at the menu as he listens to the guys talk about some of their runs. Peter is getting teased as he had some really spectacular wipe outs. He is married and he doesn't get out as often as the other guys so he is definitely out of practice. John teases him, "If Miranda would let you out more often, you wouldn't suck so bad." Several of the guys also take teasing as Peter, not going down alone, points out that Jack and Mike are both living with their girlfriends so they are as tied down as he is. Jack smiles and points out, "No ring to hold me back." The guys laugh and the good mood and teasing continues.
The waitress brings back their drinks and elects to stand very close to Logan to take their orders, The guys used to the interest Logan gets from women just smirk but Dick notices that Logan is not giving the waitress any attention. She is blonde and stacked and he normally would at least flirt with her. Today however, he is pleasant but gives out no signals that he might be interested. The other guys flirt easily with the pretty blonde who has to leave to put in their orders without getting the encouragement she is looking for from Logan.
The guys generally talk about the people they know and share the news from their own lives. Logan listens attentively and he is happy to hear that Jack is now able to handle some clients on his own in the firm he has worked in for three years. Derek is unhappy at work and is presently looking for a new challenge. Casey surprisingly speaks up and suggests, "Why don't you open your own club?"
The guys all look at Derek who looks surprised at Casey's suggestion. Logan interjects, "That is a good idea. If anyone knows the LA party scene, it's you!" The guys all laugh as they met Derek in college. He was in the same Frat as Dick and he took partying to a new level. He got his business degree but hadn't found anything that kept his interest and he has moved from job to job since they graduated. The guys start throwing around ideas for what a good club needs and Derek lets the idea germinate in his head. He actually does know a lot about clubs as he managed one for a couple of years. He does party a lot and he has a lot of contacts in the LA club scene.
Rick chimes in, "We need a new place to party." The guys all agree.
The subject is dropped when the waitress comes back with their meals. The guys are starved as they have been out in the fresh air since the sun rose. A couple of the guys flirt with the beautiful waitress and try and get her number. She is much more receptive now that she can see that Logan is definitely not interested.
Rick looks at Logan and tells him, "I got the invitation to the fundraiser next month. I sent it back already as I don't want Irene to call me." The guys all moan and Logan smirks. His assistant will ensure that everyone RSVPs and that they also send in their donation prior to the date.
Eric teases, "I hope you didn't get two tickets. It might not be enough time to get a date for you."
The group laughs as Rick indignantly defends his ability to get girls. The conversation moves on to who the other guys are taking. Dick talks about a hot red head he met and is having a lot of fun with. To no one's surprise, he adds contemplatively, "I don't know if she will be around in a month though."
Casey is taking a woman he just started dating. She is a lawyer he met at a charity function. Mike pipes in that he showed the invitation to his girlfriend already. He tells them he doesn't want a repeat of the last formal function when he forgot to tell her until a week before. The guys laugh; most of them remembering how he ended up taking her shopping for a dress, shoes and bought her expensive jewelry to appease her upset.
Dick interjects and asks Logan who he is taking and Logan between mouthfuls tells the guys he asked Veronica. There is a moment of silence at the table and then the predictable reaction starts. Jack asks, "Veronica Mars?"
"She's the PI bitch that got our frat put on probation." Derek points out.
"Dude, she is not good for you," John puts in.
Mike questions, "You can have any girl you want Logan, why her?"
Eric warns, "You don't want to ride that train again."
"You're kidding, right?" Rick adds incredulously.
Logan puts up his hand and they all stop. He says, "Are we going to start going to the bathroom together and having spa days now?"
The guys take Logan's rebuke and most of them shut up. Casey smirks and a few of the guys laugh. Most of them don't know Veronica that well but they do know that Logan and Veronica have a long and tumultuous history together. Logan took their last break up in college really hard.
Pissed off, Dick points out, "She had me arrested Logan."
Frowning Logan corrects him, "The DA had you arrested." He adds jokingly, "You really hold onto things, don't you?"
The guys laugh and Dick frustrated, spits out, "She's a fucking bitch. You can do better." There is a shocked silence as the guys take in the animosity between the almost brothers.
Keeping his voice even Logan warns, "Let it go Dick."
Casey, ever the peacemaker, changes the subject by asking, "Did you end up going to The Oasis last night?" The guys instantly can see that Casey has been privy to the information that Logan is back dating Veronica Mars. They listen in interest as Logan talks about the hotel mentioning that the chef is everything he heard and more. It is a brand new hotel and they have all heard wonderful things about it. The Oasis private rooms are expensive and exclusive. The fact that Logan took Veronica there on a date is very telling.
Mike eases the conversation by mentioning that he may book a private dining room for his anniversary. The guys let the conversation go as it is clear that Logan is not interested in their opinions about Veronica. He sees that part of his life as none of their business.
The rest of their conversation is relaxed and fun. When breakfast is over, the guys stand and each throw in money for the tab before they walk out to their vehicles together. Logan meanwhile, is talking to Jack about an architect friend of his. He is asking him if he thinks his friend would be willing to submit a design for the new building. Logan is very sure that the fundraiser next month will put them over the top for the land and then he can start working on getting the building funded and built. The guys are used to Logan's tenacity when it comes to the Lynn Foundation. Jack agrees to talk to his friend.
When Logan gets in John's truck to head home he thinks about how this evening he is going to see Veronica again. He opens his phone and dials her. When she answers he smiles happy to hear her voice. Dick looks in the back seat at Logan noticing his happy smile and guesses he is talking to Veronica. She is the only woman who brings out this side of Logan when he dates. He frowns as he looks out the window listening to Logan finalize his date with the blonde bitch.
As they unload their gear in the garage, Dick checks, "You are seeing Veronica tonight?"
Logan hangs up his board as he tells Dick that he and Veronica are going to the Grand Theater."
John checks, "You aren't going to the club with us?"
Relaxed after his fun morning and the good meal, Logan easily tells his two friends that he is out.
Upset Dick asks, "Dude, what about bros before hoes?"
Laughing Logan points out, "Remind me John, who left early from The Dance Club the other night and missed surfing with us in the morning?"
Dick defends, "I went with you. I just met a girl who was hot for me."
John trying to lighten the mood teases, "We all know how rare that is."
Logan looks at his watch and sees that he has a few hours before he has to go. He suggests, "After we shower, let's play some Xbox."
The three men head upstairs. When Logan turns down the hall towards his suite, Dick looks at John and says, "I can't fucking believe that Logan would even consider dating Veronica again."
John shakes his head and agrees, "This won't end well for Logan. I don't know why she means so much to him."
Dick glowers, "She better not try and come between us." The two men head into their respect rooms.
Hours later Logan surprises Veronica by arriving in a car with his security driver. When he rides down the elevator with Veronica he tells her that the driver can drop them off and pick them up in front of the theater. He adds, "Parking is really almost nonexistent there."
She looks up at him mildly and points out, "I was thinking we could take the subway. The stop is only a block from the theater and there is a station at the end of my street." Unable to hold it in, she giggles at the expression on Logan's face when he takes in she actually thought they would take the subway. She puts her arm around his waist and leans her head on his chest as she giggles. She shakes her head and tells him, "I'm sorry. I forgot who I was talking to for a minute there."
He enjoys her laughter but the other side of her laughter is the realization that he is really removed from how most people live. He likes to think he has an ordinary life; working and volunteering, dating, meeting friends to surf. The truth is the life he sees as ordinary is only ordinary to his wealthy acquaintances. They know he is very wealthy and they wonder why he bothers working.
Veronica has worked since she is sixteen. She has had to save for any luxuries she wants and her condo is a huge investment for her. Her dates understand her life and there is a comfort in that. He feels like he lives between two worlds a lot. His friends don't mind donating to his Foundation but none of them would ever volunteer there. They will just throw money at it and then forget about it. Yet he needs the financial contributions as well as the volunteers and workers.
He comes back to Veronica's touch on his cheek. She is looking at him in question,. He gallantly tells her, "If the choice is having you alone or sharing you with others, I am always going to try and get you alone."
She smiles at his answer and leans up giving him a small kiss for his romantic answer. They walk towards the door of the building together and Logan nods at the security guard. Veronica has put his name on her list of people allowed full access to her condo. She assures him that soon they will all get to know him and he won't be stopped at the front door anymore.
He escorts her into his car and the driver shuts the door. He sits right beside her and asks her about her day. When they arrive at the theater, the driver opens the door, lets them out and when Logan goes to go over to the ticket booth, Veronica puts a hand on his arm stopping him. She says, "I ordered tickets on line."
He smiles, "Thank you."
As they walk into the building she asks about his morning and he talks about surfing with all the guys and how good it was to see them all. When he mentions Dick's name, she frowns at him and asks sharply, "He is still in LA?"
He looks at her and mildly answers, "He's staying with me."
She looks a little alarmed and then mad. Unsure about the changing emotions he sees on her face, he asks a little tentatively, "What ?"
Shaking her head she turns to the girl behind the counter and gives her order, "Large popcorn, medium orange and sprite and some Snowcaps please.' Looking at Logan she obviously changes the subject, "I think you will be impressed with the sound in the theater."
He looks at her for a long second and then accepts the change of subject watching as she pays for their treats and helping her carry them into the theater. It turns out, he is impressed with the sound quality and he enjoys sitting with his arm around Veronica enjoying the action picture.
When the movie is over, she suggests they stop for something to eat near her place. Logan is game as all he has really had to eat since a late lunch is the popcorn and candy they had during the movie. He counters, "Why don't we pick something up and head over to my place?"
Logan puts his hand on her back as his car arrives and directs her gently towards the back door. He opens it and follows her in. As they settle in the back seat he comments, "I am surfing with the guys bright and early tomorrow. Then we are having a barbecue. You could stay over and then help set up."
Veronica busies herself looking through her purse as she tells him, "I have a whole day planned with Mac tomorrow."
Teasing he asks, "Plotting world domination?"
Smiling she looks up at him and replies, "Nope, just ordinary girl stuff. A whole day of shopping and supper." She pauses and adds with a smile, "I don't see her enough. We both work long hours and have a tendency to get caught up at work too much."
He is a little surprised to hear her talk so openly about an issue that they had between them. He takes it as a good sign that she is willing to bring up the topic. She adds, "Can I have a rain check for coming over?"
Her tone is light but he can see that although Veronica is not going to say anything, she is clearly reluctant to be at his place when Dick is there. He decides to leave it for the moment and comments, "I am craving Pastrami. Is there a good deli around your place?"
She looks at him appreciating that he is going to let the topic go for now. She says, "You are in luck. There is a really good place right around the corner from my place." Logan tells the driver to take them to her place and then settles back beside her on the plush seat.
On the drive he talks to her about her plans for the week. Cuddling in next to him she tells him that she is free except for Wednesday when she is going to meet Wallace and his girlfriend.
He wraps his arm around her and asks, "Does Wallace still play basketball?"
Shaking her head she tells him that he got his dream job and is working in a large company. She grimaces a little and says, "I don't understand most of what he talks about when he tells me what he does at work." She looks up at him and adds, "We usually hit a sports bar or something after work. You are welcome to come."
Laughing he suggests, "How about we go to the Lakers' game then? I know a guy in their front office."
Shaking her head she gently teases, "Of course you do."
Relaxed he tells her, "You'll meet him at the fundraiser." He adds easily, "I'll see if Dick and John want to come." He doesn't miss the stiffening of her small body as he suggests that his friends come but she agrees that Wallace would probably really enjoy seeing the game. As a master of not saying what he is thinking he can see that she really doesn't want to see Dick or John. He cajoles, "It will be fun. Besides Dick and John are headed to Mexico at the end of the week so I won't see them until the fund-raiser."
Nodding she agrees, "I'll call Wallace and see what he thinks."
He leans down and kisses her gently and when she puts her hand behind his neck to deepen the kiss, he has no objection.
Once they arrive at her place and get out of the car, Veronica takes Logan's hand and they walk down the street together. He listens amused at her excitement at finding the deli after she moved. He is charmed by her animation as she talks about how she found a wonderful deli in Virginia. The owner was from New York and he made the best Pastrami. She pouts a little as she tells him it is not as good here but it is close.
Logan muses that in some ways this time with Veronica feels new and in other ways it is like wearing a favorite pair of shoes. Taking to her, looking at her changing facial expressions, holding her hand and sitting with his arm around her all feels comfortable. His body seems to just adjust to hers like two magnets or puzzle pieces locking together. Her way of verbally keeping him on his toes and the lively conversation between them is so familiar as well.
Yet there is a tangible something new between them. There is an anticipation; an excitement but it is not the wonder of a new relationship and where it might lead. No, it is something else; it is something that he has never felt before with Veronica or any other woman. If he has to put a name to it, he is going to say he is feeling real hope; hope that he and Veronica have grown up enough and that they can truly be open and be completely in love. He holds open the door to the deli and they walk in.
The next morning Veronica walks out of her building and over to her beloved Mustang. She gets in and starts it up. She texts Mac that she is on her way to pick her up. As she waits for the gate to open, she smiles at the memory of her evening with Logan. It wasn't as romantic as their dinner at the Oasis Hotel but it was a really good second date. He is still so fun to talk to and she has to admit she loves how physical he is with her; something she disliked from other men but feels so natural with Logan.
He had gone home after they ate at the deli. Although she enjoyed his kisses and touches and she definitely wants him, she also wants their first time together this time to be special and memorable.
Although shopping is not her favorite activity, she is happy to spend the day with her best friend. Mac has a formal function for work and she needs to get an outfit. Veronica needs a formal dress for the fundraiser for Lynn's Foundation next month. A friend Mac works with recommended a store that has unusual but affordable dresses. It is in a small, out of the way strip mall. The two head there to see is they can get a dress and then they are going to a new cafe that supposedly has good vegan meals.
Mac is waiting for her and comes out to get in her car. They talk about how work is going and Mac is excited about the new software she is working on. However she doesn't like working for others. They are unwilling to let her work on programs that she believes in. Veronica knows that starting a software company is her dream but in the meanwhile she works and saves. As they drive Veronica updates Mac on her date with Logan at Oasis and their date last night at the movies.
In her turn Mac can see that Veronica is excited about dating Logan again. She had talked to Veronica after Logan had persuaded her to try their relationship again. Veronica had been very impressed with Logan's writing career and the Foundation for his late mother. She is hopeful he has grown up and they can be good for each other. Mac has remained close to Veronica visiting her in Virginia and of course, she was ecstatic when her best friend was transferred back to the west coast. They see each other once a week now.
Frowning Veronica talks about how Dick is staying at Logan's and how she can't believe that he would hang around LA. She says, "It is almost like he is throwing his freedom in the faces of all the people he has ruined." She adds, "I know my partner is sending the information on the threats against Dick to his security agent." She looks at Mac and shares, "I am worried about the partners he helped put in prison. They have the means to get him back."
Mac sees that Veronica is genuinely worried. She frowns as she asks, "So you are worried about Dick?"
Shaking her head she explains, "No he has been warned but what if someone goes after him when he is with Logan or one of the guys?"
Mac had not really thought of that. She asks, "Have you talked to Logan about it?"
Frustrated she shakes her head and says "It's like those guys think they are superman or something."
Mac isn't really surprised. Dick was a self centered asshole in high school and college. He treated Cassidy horribly and of course, Mac knows about what Dick did to Veronica at Shelley's party. Now she has heard about his part in the company that defrauded so many people. Veronica is still very upset at having to use her contacts in the prison to help Dick when he obviously didn't appreciate it. Now she owes favors to the guys in the prison where Dick was held and she knows that someday they will collect.
Mac points out, "In high school when you went after the 09ers, they were shocked and almost offended that anyone dared get them back." She looks at her friend and makes her point, "I guess they grew up and got away with everything they did and said because they were rich.'
Sighing she nods and has to agree. Deciding that she doesn't really want to talk about Dick anymore she changes the subject to shopping today asking Mac what all she needs to get.
A few minutes later they arrive at the store and it doesn't look like much from the outside but they get out of the car and head inside anyways. Once inside they see that this is the place they need to be. It turns out that two women own and run the shop together. They have been best friends since elementary school. Jessica designs the clothes and both women sew the dresses. Wanda adds amazing beading or sequin touches that make the dresses absolutely unique.
Wanda takes one look at Veronica and grabs a few dresses sending her into a dressing room. Joanne and Wanda have a huge discussion on what kind of dresses Mac should wear. They seem uninterested in Mac's opinion. They send her to a dressing room next to Veronica's and the petite blonde has to laugh at the look of displeasure on her best friend's face.
Veronica relaxes and decides to just try on the dresses that the ladies bring her. If she doesn't find one here, she can always shop next week.
Mac who really doesn't like to shop doesn't want to have to go out another day to get the dress she needs; she relents and agrees to try on whatever Jessica brings her when Veronica, in the next dressing room, gets excited about the first dress she has tried on.
The tiny blonde twists and turns looking at herself in the mirror. She never would have selected this dress to try on. It looks like a dress a five year old would wear but on her it looks really amazing. It is baby blue and has a band of sequins under her breasts that makes them look ample and emphasizes her tiny waist.
Mac looks at the royal blue dress they brought her doubtfully, but puts it in. She immediately decides that Jessica is a genius. The dress drapes her figure highlighting but in a classy way. It is over one shoulder and then tapers emphasizing her waist and long legs. it has a slit up the side but not too high. It's really quite perfect!
Veronica taps on Mac's dressing room door and when it is opened, she catches sight of Mac in the beautiful dress and claps happily. The silver beading from the shoulder to the waist is striking. Mac looks sexy but very sophisticated.
Relaxing now that they can see they are going to find a wonderful dress, they girls enjoy trying on the rest of the dresses. Veronica ends up buying a couple of dresses and Mac gives her credit card a workout. She buys a plain but well cut black knee length dress that will really enhance her wardrobe. Plus she finds two formal dresses and one casual dress that she absolutely loves. Veronica picks a very pale pink dress that is incredibly soft. It has a modest v neckline but hangs low at the back. It hugs her tiny waist and butt in a very alluring manner. She never would have picked a dress that looks like a dress a Greek goddess would wear but once she tried it on, she had to have it. It was a real combination of innocent and alluring. It reminded her of when she was very young, full of innocence but has that extra surprise sassiness that is her. She knows Logan is going to love it.
The other dress is black, grey and silver. It is figure hugging and showy. The changes in color on the dress emphasize her assets and especially show her tiny waist. It is an in your face, look at me dress. She is not sure where she will wear it but it is definitely for a special occasion.
Next the girls head out to lunch and they are both pleased with their day so far. Mac admits to Veronica that she and the guy she has been dating for six months have broken up. They talk about what happened and generally enjoy their time together. After lunch they go shoe shopping and then both get the perfect underwear for their formal dresses.
Veronica while waiting for Mac to try on some bras that would support her off the shoulder dress, sees the perfect outfit for her first night with Logan. Her mouth drops open in surprise and wonder. She takes it into the dressing room to try it on. She is really surprised and pleased at how sexy it looks on her. She smiles. It will be perfect for her first night with Logan this time.
When she comes out of the dressing room, Mac sees the sexy outfit in her hand and teases, "Thinking of a special night with your man?"
Nodding Veronica answers happily, "I definitely am."
Saturday night Logan arrives at Veronica's condo and heads up the elevator. He hasn't seen her for a few days. They all went out to the basketball game this week. Veronica had acted a little off. She had insisted on Wallace driving himself to the game and had made Logan pick her up at work so that he came separately from Dick and John. Then at the game she made sure that Wallace and his date sat far away from Dick.
When he had quietly pressed her for her reasons she had looked him in the eye and told him that she wanted to protect him. Dick was a target right now and Wallace didn't need to be seen with him. Logan had assumed she meant paparazzi target and he had not been impressed but he could see her point. Wallace had his position with his firm to protect. When he had whispered that the press probably wouldn't be interested in Wallace anyways, she had frowned at him and said, "I'm not talking about the press."
They had been interrupted and he hadn't been able to ask her what she meant. He noticed that she was very quiet and he could tell she was looking around assessing who was sitting near them or paying them too much attention. He did not understand why she was so stressed about the evening but she was clearly relieved it was over. She had insisted that she and Logan leave with Wallace and she seemed to be making sure he was safe.
Since that night she had cited work obligations to avoid going out with him and the guys. She missed going to Dick and John's goodbye party even though she really liked the band at the club.
He hadn't had a disagreement with her but he felt unsure what reception he would be getting tonight. He almost tentatively used the code Veronica gave him to open the door of her condo. As soon as he entered her condo, he relaxed. She met him at the door wearing a sexy black dress that crossed and tied around her tiny waist. She had on heels and her hair was tied back with a clip and hanging loosely down her back. Immediately she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
He instantly returned the kiss and pulled her close. With her heels Veronica was closer to him in height she he didn't have to bend so much to hold her. This kiss was one of what Veronica used to call his transport kisses. She completely relaxed and let his kiss transport her to another place. She told him that no one else was able to do that for her. That was how she knew he was the one and why she hadn't been able to completely give up on their relationship.
When he finally pulled apart from her, he looked down at her and she had her eyes closed and that special smile she always got when they were touching. His worries over the week melted away. Veronica was not upset with him or pulling away from him. He was certain of that.
His voice deepens with his feelings and he tells her that she looks beautiful. She opens her eyes and smiles up at him. "Thank you," she quietly says. She looks over towards the kitchen and then back at him adding, "I made pot roast."
He smiles at her and checks, "You cooked for me?"
She gently slaps his chest and points out, "All have you know, I can cook a few things now." She admits, "Alicia has been teaching me."
Pleased that she actually cooked for him he immediately reassures her, "I just imagined you were too busy working."
Accepting his peace gesture, she tells him, "I cook a mean pot roast."
He smiles and says, "I am hungry."
With a flirty smile, she takes his hand and pulls him into the kitchen area. He sees that she has set the dining room table for a romantic dinner. He smiles as she leads him to the island and encourages him to sit down. He doesn't have to worry; she is making tonight special for them.
When he is sitting at the island she offers him a beer or wine. He opts for the beer and they talk while she is putting the final preparations on the salad. He is happy to hear that they are winding up their newest case and it looks like there won't be a court date as the guy is making a deal with the DA. He talks about how the fundraiser is going and how he really thinks they will have the money to buy the land for the second safe house. When he talks about having to find a second manager, Veronica makes an exclamation. She turns to Logan, her voice excited, "I know just the perfect candidate!"
He listens at first doubtful but becomes interested as she explains more about the woman. She worked as the secretary to the head of the division here in LA but her husband was diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas and she quit to look after him. She was the heart and soul of the team keeping everyone organized and the unit running smoothly. Veronica continues, "Her husband passed away last month and although she is retired I think she could use a real challenge."
Logan quizzes, "She sounds good. Would she be interested in the job? It takes up a lot of hours."
Unsure Veronica answers, "I'll talk to her and see what she is feeling. If she is interested, I will give her Irene's number." She adds thoughtfully, "Even if she isn't interested in working, perhaps she could volunteer. She is one of the most organized, directed women I ever met."
Truthfully Logan is pleased that she believes in his Foundation.
True to Veronica's word, Logan learns that she really can cook a pot roast. It is tender and the gravy is spicy. The new potatoes are perfectly cooked. She has baby carrots, onions, peppers and celery in it. He loves it and is very complimentary.,
She is pleased that the evening is going so well and he finds he is really touched to have a home cooked meal. He can imagine coming home to Veronica every day. Sometimes he will cook for her and sometimes she will cook for him. Most times the housekeeper will leave them a meal and they will eat together. Other people take having supper together for granted but Logan really values the normalcy of it.
After supper, Veronica cleans the kitchen while Logan brings in the dishes from the dining room. Soon they have the place clean and the dishwasher ready to go. They take their wine out onto the balcony and sit together watching the lights of the city.
Once they go inside, Veronica shuts the blinds. She walks close to Logan and reaches up to gently caress his cheek. She meets his gaze and says, "I think it is time that you saw the rest of my place."
He smiles and leans down to kiss her. He would like nothing better.
When the kiss is over she takes his hand and pulls him up the staircase to the second floor. She shows him the spare room, her office and the bathroom before she takes him into her bedroom. Once they are there she turns on the dim lights over the bed and then turns towards him. She unties the ribbon at the front of her dress. It opens and she lets it fall off her shoulders. When it falls to the floor, Logan sucks in a breath. She is wearing a black lace teddy that doesn't leave much to the imagination but definitely gives Logan ideas about how the rest of the night should go.
He steps closer and takes her face in his hands leaning down to kiss her. He is going to make this night special for her. He is going to make sure she knows how much he values her and wants her. He is going to make sure she fully understands how good they are together.
