Chapter 24
Logan and Veronica were sitting on her couch making out, the movie they had been watching long forgotten. Suddenly Logan pulled away and looked at his girlfriend.
"When is your father calling because I've got some ideas to keep us busy until he calls." He said with a smirk, but the phone rang at that moment. Veronica pushed him so she could get it, but Logan wrapped his arms around her waist and started to kiss her neck and play with her hair. She tried to hit him so she could talk as normally as possible, she did not really want her father to know what she was up to with her boyfriend, in their house and on their couch. She quickly pushed Logan and got up so she could put some distance between them, she glared at him.
"Hey dad! What's up?"
"I know Logan is over so don't pretend you're alone and you were waiting for my call."
"How? Are you psychic? Or what?"
"No, I'm not, I just know you and Logan. I just wanted to let you know that I'm on my way home so I'd better not find Logan in your room or in the same bed than you."
"Wait! Wait!" Veronica said in the phone. "Have you found Duncan?"
"Yes, he is on the plane with me."
"How is he?"
"Fine, listen sweetie I have to hung up, we're about to land..."
"I will meet you at the airfield." Veronica said hanging up. She put the phone on the table and looked at Logan who was now sitting on the couch like a little boy waiting for his parents to tell him what to do.
"So Duncan is on his way to Neptune?"
"Yeah, dad found him, do you think you can drive me to the airport, because I don't think I can drive"
"Of course, you don't even need to ask. We should proably go now if we don't want to miss them." He said grabbing his car keys and putting them in his pocket he then took Veronica's hand and made her walk towards the door.
Logan parked his car next to the Kanes' limo, he quickly turned off the car and turned to look at Veronica who had her head against the window, eyes closed.
"We should probably go out." Logan said, pulling Veronica out of her thoughts, she looked at him and then the limo and nodded. Logan went to open the door to her side of the car as soon as he had gotten out, he held her hand in his as they were making their way towards the limo. He held her hand tigher when he saw Jake get out of the car and walk towards them, he stopped only a few feet away from them.
"Keith called you?" he asked them.
"Yeah, we were at my house when dad called." Veronica said, feeling almost bad when she saw Jake wince when she said the word dad. "Do you know where Duncan was?"
"Keith said he found him in Cuba, that's all I know, he said he would tell me more later. But you, what are you doing here?"
"I need to see by myself that Duncan is fine and that he made it home safely I want to talk to him to make sure he didn't say anything to my father."
"Of course." Jake nodded, as if he was understanding what Veronica was saying, he then turned to Logan, as if he was only seeing him. "Logan, what are you doing here?"
"I was with Veronica when Keith called so I came along, after all she is my girlfriend and I didn't want her to be here without me. I've got some things to tell to Duncan and I couldn't really let Veronica go through this by herself."
"Good."
The three of them looked at each other in an uncomfortable silence, none knowing what to say or do, finally their akward moment was ended by Celeste who walked towards where they were standing.
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing, we were just talking."
"Of course you were, that's what I saw from the car which is why I'm here. I wanted to meet Veronica officially, until a few weeks ago she was only our children's friends, now she is your daughter, isn't she?" she asked with a cold smile.
"Celeste."
"No, don't Celeste me! Did you really think I was going to stand by and watch you try to become her father to this girl?"
"Listen, I already have a father and I'm not looking for a new one, don't worry I'm not after your money."
"I hope so, because you won't get any from us."
"Great!" she said before turning to Logan who took her hand in his. At that moment they saw the jet land.
"Ready?"
"Yeah, let's go, I want to talk to Duncan and then go home with my father." she said as Logan nodded. He put his arms around her shoulders and they started to walk towards Duncan who was coming out of the plane. Logan let Veronica go and watched her as she hugged Duncan.
"I'm sorry for what happened. I should have never done that."
"It's all forgotten, I'm so happy to see you made it home."
"I know, does he make you happy?"
"Yes, Logan is the one for me, I love him and he loves me."
"He hurt you." he said, pulling away to look at her in the eyes.
"I know but I hurt him and now things are better between us, we've worked things out and I haven't been that happy since Lilly's death."
"Okay, if he makes you happy and doesn't screw this then I won't stand in your way."
"Thank you." she said hugging him, she then whispered in his ear. "I could have never asked for a better brother."
"And me for a better little sister."
