"Skip last period with me" Logan said as he wrapped his arms around Veronica's waist the following afternoon as she stopped by the vending machine to get herself a soda, mulling over her options. "You prefer these ones" he said pointing at the option for Sunkist Orange soda and kissing her on the neck.
Who'd have thought his little Veronica obsession could come in useful?
"You want me to skip class?" Veronica smiled as she pressed the selection for the one he had suggested. He wasn't sure why her trust in his recommendation made him feel so pleased, but it did.
"Yes… I want to steal you away for the afternoon" he confessed as she picked up her drink and turned around to look up at him.
Come on… be bad with me… I've missed you…
"I have a make-up test today. It's for government class" she admitted as she curled her arms around his hips and hugged him closer.
"Okay… what about after?" he asked his brown eyes pleaded.
Veronica had been planning on visiting the records room at the Balboa County Births, Deaths and Marriages registry that afternoon.
"I have a few errands to run…" she told him sadly, and Veronica could tell that he was disappointed.
Was she really busy… or just making excuses not to see him?
"Tomorrow though… my dad's on a stake out if you want to come over and watch a movie?" she suggested.
"Yeah.. that sounds like fun" he grinned as he traced his thumb along her lower lip before tilting her chin upwards and kissing her slowly.
She made it so damn hard to behave…
Veronica completed her final make up exam and was relieved when she was told that she cleared it high enough to stay on the honour roll for the Kane scholarship. She wasn't so relieved to discover that she would have to file paperwork to request the marriage and genealogy documents she was looking for and it was going to take a week for them to be delivered, but it was a start.
The Neptune Sacred Heart Outpatients Clinic had rescheduled her appointment with Dr Holtz for the following week, so that was a small mercy. The late afternoon sun was still blazing as she was walking Backup along the beach before dinner when she caught sight of Dick Casablanca's and Logan surfing but he was too far out to see her.
Dear Diary,
Aloha abs.
I have to admit… surfers are pretty hot… salty kisses… tanned, it's like pasty isn't even in his vocabulary… and all that paddling out again and again does magical things to his biceps. At least if I've forgotten how to swim he can come out and scoop me back up again. Is there anything sexier than a man who knows how to handle himself in the wild?
Lesser beings mistakenly confuse sexy talk with double entendres. But I can't seem to stop the mental suggestive language and childish puns. Like these:
1. Pull out
2. Rubber up
3. Wax job
4. Strap on
5. Tube riding
6. Sweet spot
7. Stroke
8. Pumping
9. Re-entry
It certainly doesn't help that Logan Echolls is really sexy close-up.
"I have to work a case this weekend in Los Angeles" Keith Mars told her as he passed her a bread roll.
"Okay…" Veronica replied as she handed him a bowl of Chupe soup. "You gonna put the screws to him?" she joked in a 1950s Dick Tracy impression.
"He's gonna sing like a canary" her dad joked back in a fake accent.
"Why did the Sheriff's department question Weevil over Lilly's murder?" Veronica asked finally.
"I thought we weren't going to discuss the case anymore?" he answered as he put down the bread roll in his hand and broke eye contact.
"We aren't, we are discussing Weevil" Veronica reasoned.
"All I know sweetie is that they were involved" Keith informed her. "Enough for the school to consider him a person of interest… but there is no way the Kane's went to all the trouble of covering up Lilly's murder for someone like Weevil"
"How do you know it was the Kane's?" she asked.
"Because Clarence Weidman the Kane's head of security made the anonymous call that got Abel Koontz arrested" Keith told her. "I just can't prove it"
Logan picked up a few sodas and a few of those cook on the stove popcorns in the Sac-n-Pac and noticed Wallace was working behind the counter. Picking up a few packs of Gum and a copy of Surf Life he put his basket onto the counter.
"Hey" he smiled awkwardly; this was Veronica's best friend.
"Hi" Wallace replied and Logan watched as he began to ring up the contents of the basket and began bagging them up.
"Listen… Wallace… I don't know your plans for the dance on Friday, but I'm getting a Limo, if you and Meg want to join us… that would probably make things easier and put Veronica's mind at ease… if you wanted" Logan offered.
Duncan Kane and Faith Schultz were planning on going with Troy Vandergraf and Tammy Forrester, sharing with his best friend while he took his ex to Homecoming dance would just have been too awkward for all involved. Besides… this would be a great chance to get to know her friend.
"I think Meg was going to be organizing something with May and Lizzie her sister and their boyfriends but I'll run it by her…" Wallace told him. "Thanks"
"Cool.. well uh.. let Veronica know and we can arrange it from there" Logan smiled faintly as he paid for his stuff and left.
"Hey" Veronica greeted him warmly as she opened the door to the small two bedroom apartment.
"Hello" he said as he kissed her.
This was tempting fate… her bedroom was just thirty feet away from them…
"I brought popcorn" he told her as he offered up the bag of stuff he had picked up from the Sac-n-Pac. The 3 year old pitbull piqued his head up in interest at the sound of the bag as he lay curled up on the striped armchair in the corner.
"Cool… I picked up a few movies for us… so you can pick" she smiled.
"Warm Bodies? Big Trouble in Little China? Chasing Maverick?" He laughed.
"I didn't really know what kind you like" she admitted.
"I like anything that lets me cuddle up on the couch with you" he confessed and pulled her closer.
He really was playing with fire…
"So… what do you want..?" she asked quietly. You…
"Warm bodies?" he suggested.
"Okay" she smiled and bent over to put the DVD in while he went to get a bowl for their popcorn…
Yep… he was definitely playing with fire…
