I couldn't let you wait too long…
From all the things I could have forgotten, I had to forget to bring my pajamas… But Logan gave me one of his shirts, was actually weird. It was like we were back to months ago, before we broke up, before he dated Parker, before the baby…
"You can take my bedroom if you want, it's the most comfortable." Logan said. No way I was taking his bedroom I still have some proud.
"One of your guestrooms will do it… thanks again for the shirt." I tell him. It's a good thing I'm not that tall, at least his shirts can work as a dress… Kind of.
"You sure?" Yes I am.
"Just tell me which one please…" Not that it matters, but it's his apartment maybe he rather doesn't see me in one of them.
"Pick this one, it's the closest to mine…" He said opening the door. Wow, it's bigger than my bedroom, even if I add my bathroom.
"And you say that yours even more comfortable?" I can't even imagine what it looks like.
"Try the bed, you'll see." He said, like if it would make any difference. And I did. I tried the bed, and it was the best bed I had ever been on. Ten times better than the one of Logan's hotel room.
"Are you kidding me! I feel like I could stay in this bed for the rest of my life!" I tell him. Never been in a bed that good.
"Really? Move, give me a place… I've never tried it before." Who buys a bed without trying it out first?
"Not bad, but mine is still better…" He said putting his hand back on my belly. So he doesn't even ask anymore. Sure, he has to have the last word.
"Right, yours better, I get it…" I say almost asleep yet. This bed was so good…
"What do you think about Baylee?" He suddenly said, preventing me from falling asleep.
"What for?" Do I know any Baylees?
"For the baby…" Was he thinking about baby names?
"Really? You're thinking about baby names? Already?" Isn't it a bit soon? How should I know? It's not like if I know any pregnant woman or anything like that.
"Sure, we can't keep calling this little girl it or baby…" It's obvious I'm the one calling it it. See, I just did it again.
"Okay, we'll find her a name, but not Baylee." Baylee, is a nice name, but not for my baby.
"Did you have any idea?" If I had an idea? Nope, I hadn't thought about it yet.
"Nope, the only idea I have, is to sleeeeeeeep. I'm tired." Take 4 months of my age, and I would have kicked my own ass. Being tired, at ten o'clock!
"Oh, sure. Do you have any classes in the morning?" He asks me, his hand still on my belly.
"My first class is at 1 pm." O damned, I should have taken my own car, Logan isn't going to be able to bring me to my class.
"Perfect, I'll bring you. My first one is at 2pm." Coincidence?
"Thank you…" I say all sleepy with a low voice. Logan was about to leave the bed, but as soon as his hand had left my stomach, the baby had start to move again. "Oh no, I'm tired so you better stop moving so I can fall asleep!" I say to my own stomach… Probably something weird to see.
"What do you usually do to make her stop?" What do I do? Nothing… I haven't found anything that actually works yet.
"I haven't found anything that works with Claire, just trying it out, yet… Nope, not Claire." I thought I could at least try to give her a name. He putted his hand back on my belly, apparently, he did loved to feel her move.
"Just trying ?" Just trying… And he started to rub my stomach again. "I don't feel her move…" He said. Great, know she's stops? She must really like Logan.
"I think she likes you. Every time you but your hand on my stomach, she stops moving." Three times in one hour… So I'm probably right.
"You think?"
"Well, when I try to fall asleep with my hand on my stomach, she keeps on moving. And now, each time you putted yours on it, poof, nothing anymore… I guess you'll have to stay like that till I fall asleep…" I joked and silently laugh.
"No problem…I'm on daddy duty." What? I was kidding!
"You're kidding right? Because I certainly was…"
"Not kidding, I just want to help you out. You're not alone anymore, we are in this together and since the baby is inside of you, it's you I have to help." Yeah right… We'll see in a month.
"So you are planning on staying like that till I fall asleep?" I ask him, not sure what else I should understand.
"All night if I need to. Now close your eyes, and sleep."
"You're not the boss of me…" I say trying to seem mad. But I can't, to tired.
"Sure, kick me out of bed then…" He said, taking out his shoes, and shirt… Oh God… I just didn't answer. If he feels like doing that, and it makes me fall asleep, the better it is.
When I wake up, I wasn't in the position I fell asleep anymore. My head was on Logan's chest, along as right hand. Logan had crossed his fingers with my right hand while he was sleeping, and his other arm was around me. I actually felt good in this position. So I pretended to sleep, not wanting to wake him and not wanting to move. I probably fell back asleep, because what seemed a few seconds later, I heard Logan call me.
"Veronica?" He whispered, not moving a finger.
"Yes?" I whispered back…
"You're awake?" No, I talk in my sleep.
"No, I'm still sleeping…" I say sarcastically. Of course I'm awake. He strokes my back with his one free hand, but kept his other on in mine.
"I can see that… This bed is not too bad, maybe I could sleep in it another time…" And of course, that only if I'm in it… Or is he thinking about any other girl? It could be possible. After all, we're not dating…
"I'm sure you'll be able to find a girl on campus to sleep to accompany your night." I say keeping my eyes closed.
"Yeah, like if I would like any other girl…" We are not dating, just having a baby…
"How late is it?" I ask him, ignoring the rest.
"Nine O'clock… Want some breakfast?" Actually, I would rather not move. So should I be honest?
"Not yet…" So I haven't say no…
"Sure? Because I would like to talk to you about something…" Serious talk in the morning? Who is this guy and where is Logan?
"Breakfast it is than…" I say moving. But I would have got out of bed, if Logan had let go of my hand… "Can I have my hand back?" I'm wondering which one took the other one's hand during the night…
"You may…" He said, crossing his legs and looking at me. I'm not going to put clothes on in front of him.
"You do not think I'm going to get dressed in front of you right?" I say looking at him…
"A man can hope…"
"Well, a man can hope outside this room too…" I reply.
"Fine…
"So, what is it you wanted to talk me about?" I asked him after breakfast. Now that he was wearing clothes, it was a lot easier for me to think.
"It's about something you said last night…" What did I say last night that he possible would want to talk about? I encouraged him to continue. "You said you could stay in that bed for the rest of your life…" I vaguely remember saying something like that…
"So?" I don't see what he would want to talk about.
"You could…" What could I?
"What?" I'm lost here… I have no idea what he's talking about.
"You could stay here…" Where is that coming from?
"What? You're kidding right?" Must be joking… He can't possibly be serious.
"No. Just think about it. We are having a baby, we could raise her up in here, we could put her in one of the guestrooms." Live in his apartment.
"Yeah right, and all your rooms would be occupied." Don't get me wrong, this apartment is great. And normally, I would have loved to live here. But not in those circumstances. I do not want Logan to feel trapped. Or to feel trapped myself.
"They won't all be occupied… We could both use mine…" What? So he wants us to raise the baby in his apartment, together as a couple?
"You want us to date again?" I shouldn't have let him sleep in my room during the night.
"Why not?" I have at least one hundred arguments for that! "Just think about it! Whatever we seem to do, we always grow back together…"
"Yeah, well if that's true, we always find a way to break up too. And this time, would be even more important than the once before. This time, I have to think twice about my actions." I say, reminding me of what Dick had said to me during the week.
"Why wouldn't it work out this time?" Why would it work out this time? "Veronica, I love you, I've always love you and now we're having a baby together! I can't imagine doing that without being able to say us or we. I've never had a normal family, and now, I finally have the chance to have one! And not just any family. But the once I've been picturing myself with for some years now. And even when we were apart, it was you I was picturing me with." Okay, that's a good reason, but still. "We could start slow. Maybe just go on a date or two? Maybe hold each other's hand sometimes. At school, in the city, at home… take things slowly. We do not have to rush." He really seemed to have thought about it a lot. Someone didn't have much sleep during the night.
"You seem to have thought it through…" I say, not knowing what else I could add to that.
"I did."
"And you're completely sure that's what you want? Because, one week ago, you were still dating Parker… I do not just want you to do that because it's what you think is right or because of the baby… If you're going to do that, it's because you want to do it, because you FEEL it's right."
"I know it is." He adds, taking me hand over the table. "So?"
"We could take things slow. See where it leads us…" I finally agree. I can't deny that last night, I wasn't thinking the exact same thing…
"Really?" He was the one talking about it, and he seemed surprised that I actually take him on his words?
"Why? You do want this, do you?" I ask him, not sure about it anymore.
"Hell ya! So, I can call you my girlfriend again?" He asks me.
"I guess so… But I would like to talk to Parker, before we make things more official…" I already did her enough wrong…
"Everything you want… So about that date… Tonight?" Tonight? I would have said yes. If it wasn't for Wallace.
"Normally, I would have said yes, but Wallace asked me to go to that basketball game with him…"
"We could go to that game together?"
"Sure why not. But no coupleish actions before I talked to Parker…" She deserves to hear it from my mouth.
"Of course… We can keep it a secret, for a few hours… Secrets are exciting…" He says flirting with me.
"Sure. I think I'll see how Backup is doing…" I say, trying to get away of his look.
"No problem." He said, so I quickly stood up and went back to the living room. Backup was sitting on the couch whipping with his tale when he saw me.
"He's … Sleeping." I said when I noticed Logan was standing right behind me. He putted his one hand on my face and looked at me right into the eyes. His face, slowly getting closer to mine, before finally, his lips locked mine. Quickly, it turned into a passionate kiss. My hands landed in his hair as he took me up and went inside his bedroom. Once on his bed, I little alarm went on in my head. "Logan, Logan, stop…" I say out of breath…
"Why?" Why? Yes, why did I want him to stop?!
"Because, since last time, let's just say I gain some weight…" I'm not as thin as I use to be… He started to kiss me in the neck and unbutton my shirt. He looked at me from above with a huge smile.
"You're even more beautiful than I could remember." Just after that, we started to kiss again, but this time, I didn't ask him to stop.
Logan and Veronica, back together… What do you think about that? Expecting it of course… In the next chapter I'll deal with the cyber bully and maybe even with Parker. I guess I'll see how far it goes…
