I hope you guys didn't got bored yet!
"I've got beer!" Parker said when she pushed me out of her way to get in the apartment. Mac followed her in with a pity look on her face.
"Sure come on in…" I say to let them now that I don't mind them getting inside without waiting for me to actually invite them in.
"I took some movies we can watch!" Parker said over enthusiast as already putted the DVD on.
"Don't you want some popcorn with it?" I guess not, she's already taking place on the sofa. "Mac?"
"Don't worry, come take a seat, we took care of everything…"They sure did, Mac took out a bag of popcorn out of her bag.
We we're watching a movie about a bad guy that's constantly on a girl's back. Parker and Mac both thought he was a jerk. That they would never want to date a guy like that. When the guy started to hit on the girl's, broke her lights and window…
"I just hate that guy…" Parker continued as she ate hand full of popcorn.
"I know, I can't imagine ever wanting to be with a guy like that. I don't get that girl." I do.
"I've been with a guy like that…" I know what you think. What could a marshmallow like me do with such a bad guy? Well, some girls desperately think they can change the guy, or are addicted to adrenaline. You can find me in the first option.
"Logan did that to me back in high school…" But because of me he got into troubles with the principal and the sheriff
"No way..." They said at the same time. Parker was forming a perfect circle with her mouth while Mac's eyes were wide open looking at me.
"What?" Am I suddenly more interesting that the movie?
"We" Parker said pointing both herself as Mac, "are waiting for you to tell us what happened…"
"I had just met Wallace, he had gotten himself into troubles, I felt like helping him and Logan pissed me off… And he helped me to get something into the storage room of the sheriff's department." I started. "after some stuff you do not have to know, Wallace got out of trouble and Logan found my car at the beach…" We weren't really in good terms back then… Beside, Duncan was still depressed, I was still searching for answers about Lilly… Everything was a mess.
"Really? I can't imagine Logan doing something like that…" Believe me, the man he is today has nothing to do with the man he was back then, expect maybe his skills in bed.
"I do…" Well, Mac was in high school with me… So it doesn't surprise me that she actually does believe me.
"How come you started to date then?" Parker continued.
"Yeah Veronica? How come you two started to date..?" Good question. It's legitimate.
"Was that the doorbell?" I pretend hoping they would forget about it…
"If you don't tell us, right now, we'll make you drink as much as possible and we'll lock ourselves into the bathroom…" Just so you know, I wasn't drinking beer, but water, unlike both the girls.
"He asked me to investigate about his mother, after her suicide. He thought she was just hiding, that she couldn't have possibly done that… So I did…" I'm one hundred percent sure it started there.
"So you helped a guy you couldn't stand?" Parker asked me.
"I know how it feels to lose a mother." Even if mine is not dead, she abandoned me back then.
"You helped him with his mother, and then what? You just started to date?" It didn't go like that. At all.
"No, of course not!" Why do I feel the need to defend myself? "We kind of grow together with because of that investigation. One day, we thought that someone had planted a bomb inside the school, and while I was investigating about that, I kind of got kidnapped by a guy pretending to be a student while he actually was an FBI agent. I called Logan on his phone while we were talking, and he heard were we were heading to. He came, punched the guy. That's when the guy told me he was in fact an FBI agent. Afterwards, Logan and I first kissed, enough details?" I think it's the very first time I tell our story? Don't sounds like a fairytale to me, but it ended well.
"How cute! He came to your rescue!" You can say it like that.
"But, you did date Duncan, in high school…?" Mac, dear Mac. Just shut up.
"That's the guy that left with a baby?"
"So, what about that movie?!"
"Thanks Veronica! I had a lot of fun tonight!" Parker said as she jumped outside the apartment.
"You're welcome girls." Tonight had brought a bit too many memories for me. After the whole Logan thing, they started to ask about my mom. When I say they, I mean Parker. Mac knows it's a sensitive subject. When it became obvious I wasn't going to answer her questions, she finally stopped asking them, like one hour later. I had texted Logan 15 minutes ago to tell him that girl night was almost over and he got back home just five minutes after the girls left.
"Ronnie?" He said as he walked inside. I was in the living room, looking at the sealing while I was wondering what my mom was actually doing.
"Living room!"
"How was your evening?" My boyfriend asks me kissing me the front head, before moving my legs so they were both on his.
"Let's say Parker was really motivated to know everything about me tonight." And that's not an euphemism. "What about yours?"
"Let's say Dick isn't going to invite me to play with him in a while… I kicked his butt" One hand on my knee, and the other on my belly, Logan wasn't probably in the most comfortable position right now. "You seem like if you have something on your mind…" He continued. "What are you thinking about?"
"Lianne." I don't felt like calling her mom anymore. A mom isn't something you are just because you gave birth. A mom is something you are while you raise your child… Mom left me, more than once, and each time I got into troubles… She isn't a mom to me anymore, a mother maybe, but not a mom.
"Want to tell me about it?" Not at all.
"I was just wondering if she was drunk in a bar, vomiting in the street or maybe dead somewhere on the side of the road because she got into a car accident. The bottle of vodka, still in her car."
"What lovely thought do you have there…"
"You shouldn't ask if you don't want an answer." I'm going for the first option, drunk in a bar, if she was dead, I'm sure someone would have called me, and my dad would have found out.
"Do you miss her?" I don't know. I think I miss the thought of having a good mom. The one she was before she started to lift bottles.
"I miss the person she was before… The one that was dancing in the kitchen while cooking, not the one that stole my college money and left." The person she was before Lilly got murdered and our lives changed.
"Do you know where she is?"
"Not at all… That's what I was wondering about."
"Would you like to know where she's?" I don't think so.
"When I finally found her, and tried to help her, she disappointed me, more than just once. So no, I don't want to know." That's the truth, I don't.
"Do you want a hug?" That's something he asks when he doesn't know what else to say…
"Yes." And that's what I answer when I don't want him to say anything. I moved my legs and he took me in his arms. "Do you think I'm going to be a good mom?" I ask him.
"No…" What? "You're going to be the best mom." That's better.
"I think you're going to make a great father too." And that's the truth. He's going to be the exact opposite of his…
"Well, doesn't has that little baby a lot of chance then?"
We hugged for a while before heading towards bed. I was exhausted, and it was late. I was almost falling asleep, when someone decided to push on our door bell, at 2 am! Who is the idiot that does that at this time? Logan was already sleeping, so I delicately moved his arm, that was wrapped around me, took a robe and left the bedroom. After closing the door behind me, and taking my Taser, I walked towards the front door.
"Who is there?" I asked not opening it. At this time of the night, you never now.
"Logan? It's me…" I now that voice… But that's not possible… Not possible at all! I opened the door, just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating or dreaming. But no, he was standing right in front of me. He hadn't changed a bit since I had left him, except for the beard maybe. He wasn't expecting me to open the door… "Veronica?!" He said in choc.
"Nica?!" A little girl said in his arms.
"Duncan!" I finally said… What the hell is he doing here? After all the troubles I did to get him out of the country, he came back?! Why?
"Can we come inside?" He asks me… I was so surprised, that I didn't even thought about inviting him in.
"Sure, sure… I'm going to wake up Logan." I turned around, didn't even watch them walk in and went back to the bedroom.
Surprise! Duncan is back!
