Her mind wondered to when she truly had felt happy. She starts to think about the times when she would say how immature and sexist he was and he would say how she was too nosy for her own good.

She used to love the way he would touch her, look at her, really look at her and still want to be there. He was the only person to make her feel whole.

No one could talk to her the way he could. No one could make her feel alive the way he could. And no one could make her die inside like he could.

Hey, V, were you even listening said the BFF to his short, blonde compadre.

Yeah, sorry about that. I just zoned out for a sec.

As I was saying, I finally got info before you did. I dont mean to gloat and all, but it seems as if I have secret sources too.

Wallace, what are you talking about? The last statement from her friend seemed to be enough to bring her out of her stupor.

It seems as if someone is getting the one thing that they wanted for her birthday Wallace said to a confused Veronica.

What, youve found a way to mend my broken heart

"What is it?" she said half-heartedly.

Dont get all excited now Wallace said sarcastically.

Ok Wallace, does this sound better Like Omigod Wallace, what am I like totally getting she said in her best valley girl voice. And the head tilt. Dont forget the head tilt.

Thats more like it, Supafly he said laughing.

Your dads getting you a newer car

Are you kidding me? Please dont kid because that would be cruel even for you she said with joy beaming from her eyes.

Wow, it seems that you can find a bigger cereal box. And with that, she felt her heart sink a little lower.

What do you want Logan she said without even turning around to look at him.

I was just walking by and couldnt help hearing You mean eavesdropping Veronica spun around and interrupted.

As I was saying, hearing that you were getting a new car he said with that patented smirk. I didnt know that CapnCrunch could make a box that big he laughed as he walked away.

That guy is a real ass Wallace said.

You would think that he could leave you alone for like two seconds before ripping into you.

Dont worry Wallace. Him being an ass has no effect on me whatsoever Veronica said with a stern look in her eye.

Now if only I could believe it

Come on BFF, we have things to do and people to annoy she grabbed Wallaces arm and was laughing down the hall to their next class.
*********************

Neither of them noticed but someone had been watching them the whole time. He had a slight cringe watching her grab another mans arm when he wanted it to be his.

Duncan just stood there looking at Veronica and Wallace walk into homeroom. He just sighed and went to his class.

*********************

Hey man, I havent seen you all day? Dick said to a distant Logan.

What, are we going steady and I didnt know? smirked Logan.

Stop getting your panties in a twist. You never got back to me on whether or not were going surfing later

Yeah, Im still thinking about it he said as he scanned the quad for the annoying blonde one.

He saw her coming out of the building hand in hand with Wallace. He didnt realize it but he tightened his jaw and clinched his fist at the site.

Dick saw this and said Yeah I know. Every time I see her I want to puck too.

Logan somewhat confused said What are you talking about?

I saw you get into a mood as soon as you saw her. I have the same feeling as you. Why doesnt she just go to hell Dick said laughing not noticing the pained look in Logans eye.

Do I really look at her like that? he thought.

Listen Dick I gotta go. Im starting not to feel too well. Ill see you tomorrow. Before Dick could protest, Logan was already half-way to his car.


Please just give me a little. You know you want to.

Thanks LoganLuver13 for the idea. You rock.

***********

I cant believe that Dick came over here Veronica said.

You know, it was probably Logan who put him up to it. You know that he doesnt do anything without Logans approval Duncan almost spat out.

Yeah well, I dont know bout yall, but I came here to have fun Wallace said while running into the water.

Veronica didnt want Logan or Dick to ruin her good time. So she did what she knew best, and that was to goof off. Catch me if you can Duncan. And with that, Duncan ran after Veronica into the water.

Logan was watching the whole scene play out in front of him. He decided that he needed to move on because he couldnt go on obsessing over Veronica Mars.

Dude, check out those babes Dick said.

There were two girls that were about 50 feet from where Veronica had been. One was a tall blonde with a small waist and a nice rack. The other was a short red-head with a medium rack but nice ass.

Ill take the red-head. You can have the blonde. And before Logan could say no, Dick had already pulled the two girls to within feet of him.

Hi Im Alexis and shes Isabelle the blonde said of herself and her friend.

Hi Im Dick and this is Logan

Its nice to meet you Dick and Logan Alexis said.

What school do you guys go to? an eager Dick asked.

We go to Neptune Isabelle stated.

I havent seen you guys around and trust me I would remember Logan said smiling to both girls.

Were a year behind you Isabelle said timidly.

Dick muttered I wish I was behind you.

Do you guys know how to surf Logan asked.

No not really both girls said

Well I think we could fix that problem Logan said with his killer smile.

I think I could like surfing a little more now.
**************************************************************

The next day at school, she was getting her books out of her locker when someone came from behind and told her that she owed him a dance. Veronicas eyes swelled up just thinking about who it could be. Justin... she barely whispered his name.

Well who else would it be and with that Veronica grabbed him in the middle of the hall to give him a great giant hug.

Oh my God. What are you doing here? I thought you were in LA she said to her one-time crush.

Yeah well, my dad thought it would be better for me to get out of the whole Hollywood scene and grow up in a more suburban environment. I remembered that you lived here so I wanted to make it a surprise Justin said with a glint in his eye.

I really missed you And with that, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Duncan had been standing by his locker looking at the two people. He had no idea who this guy was that seemed to be very close to Veronica, but he was going to find out.

Hey Duncan, I want you to meet someone. This is Justin. He was my first crush and best friend in elementary school.

Hey man, hows it going Justin said and put out his hand to shake but Duncan refused.

So what are you doing here Duncan said with his eyes narrowing.

My family just moved here and Im going to be the newest addition to this fine establishment Justin said. He then looked at Veronica with such longing in his eyes that Duncan could not take it anymore.

Look V, I gotta go. Ill see you in Journalism later. He turned to Justin with a stern look and said See you around. And with that, Duncan was off to his next class.

Whats up with that guy?

I dont know. Ive never seen him act like that before.

Oh before I forget to tell you. It seems as if I have Journalism with you also. Save me a seat will you?

Of course, anything for you. Bye

Bye short stack he said laughing down the hall.

She said over her shoulder, I thought I told you not to call me that.

Sorry old habits die hard and with that she was gone.

This time Im going to make things work Justin thought.
**********************************************************

Logan was already sitting down in Journalism when Veronica walked in.

God she is beautiful.

She sat two seats in front of him and put her bag on the seat next to her.

Great, now shes saving seats for him. When will this misery end?
Speak of the devil.

Hey V, did you save that seat for me? he said with love in his eyes.

Oh, no Im sorry, but you could sit on my other side she quickly fumbled clearing the seat on her other side.

Thanks I guess

Before she could answer, a new guy walked into the room and headed straight for Veronica. She moved her books out of the way and he sat down, not before giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Before he realized what he did, Logan pounded a fist onto the desk. It startled everyone and they just looked at him. Sorry was all that he could mutter.

Class please meet our newest student Justin Hall. He is a transfer from Los Angeles. I know that everyone here will give him the old pirate welcome said Ms. Park, the newest sub.

Logan spent the rest of the class looking at Veronica and Justin and wanting to know what the deal was with the two of them. He knew that it had to be something serious because Duncan just scowled at Justin during the whole class.

He was going to find out who this new person was and why they had seemed so buddy buddy with his girl.




Please just give me a little. You know you want to.

Thank You my beta, LoganLuver13.

Sorry guys it took longer to update. I will always stay true to my ship.

Chapter 5


Hey babe

Hey to you too

Veronica seductively walked over to where Logan was sitting. He was on the plush brown sofa in his family room. His tall, built body was lounging on the couch.

As she approached him, the lust and desire was growing in his eyes. When she was right in front of him, she bent over and whispered something into his ear.

He must have liked what he heard. Because the next thing that she knows, he's grabbing her and devouring his mouth with her own.

He pulls back to ponder what she just whispered to him, and a smirk crosses his face. Wagging his eyebrows, he said I didnt even know you could move your body like that

There is soo much that you dont know she said huskily.

With that, he kissed her again.

Their kiss was intense. It was as if he was dying of thirst and she was his water. It was only their need for life-sustaining air that caused them to separate.

After he pulled back, he lifted his head and gazed into her eyes. All he could see was the unspoken words of love and hope radiating back from her eyes.

He knew with his track record that he didnt deserve her, but he wasnt going to tell anyone.

He gently traced along her jaw line with the pad of his thumb. Without realizing it, he said out loud what he has only been able to tell her when she was asleep. I love you.

He couldnt believe that he just said that. At that point he closed his eyes and lowered his head because he couldnt take rejection or pity from her. Not after everything that theyve been through.

She cupped his face in her hands, lifted his head up and said the words that he never thought she would say to him. I love you too. II was too afraid to say it before, but I never knew how happy I could be until

She looked away as if embarrassed. She didnt have the courage to continue.

As if he could read her thoughts, he turned her face to him and mouthed Its okay

She looked into his eyes and she knew he was telling her the truth. She took a deep breath and continued until you.

He was so overcome with love, he gently brushed his lips to hers.

She would be having none of the sort and deepened the kiss.

I love you Logan Veronica said.

Because he could never be happy, Logan awoke from his drunken binge from earlier that day.

It was only a dream.

Oh god. What am I going to do?

At that moment, his cell phone rang. He looked at the number, but didnt recognize it.

Uh Hello

Hi, um is this Logan?

Who is this?

Its Alexis, from the beach she said a little hopeful.

How could I forget. How are you?

Im good. I was wondering if you could give me another surfing lesson on Saturday? He could hear her anticipating his answer on the other line.

Hell, why not. Ill meet you at the same place at 1 p.m.

Okay, see you then and with that she hung up.

If I cant be with the girl I love, I might as well be with a girl who at least likes me.

*********************

Veronica had an hour left to get ready. She was thinking about all the time she was spending with Justin.

I know hes not him, but at least he could make me happy.

She decided to turn on the radio to kill some time. As if fate wanted to twist the knife that was already in her heart just a little more, the song that played the night of their breakup was emanating from the speakers.

I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now more and more I wonder where you are

This song means nothing to me.

Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
I miss you

Wow, I really need to get ready she said with a hurried pace in her voice.

Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call to say

I miss you she said barely above a whisper.

Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
I miss you

I miss you
I miss you

Did I really just say that? she seemed shocked that she really said those words out loud.

No more, loneliness and heartache
No more, crying myself to sleep
No more, wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me, come back to me

I really need to stop thinking about him . Its over and hes made that abundantly clear. She didnt realize it, but her vision began to cloud over. Her eyes were puffy and red. They were filled with unshed tears.

Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
I miss you

Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me
Do I ever cross your mind, anytime
I miss you


I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

What am I going to do? She pulled her sleeve across her face to dry her tears.


OK, I need to pull myself together, go out on this date, and have the most fun that Ive ever had.

But first, I really need to turn off that damn radio.

She walked over to the kitchen and turned off the radio on the countertop and proceeded to splash some water on her face from the sink.

She thought to herself I didnt know that I was going for the drowned rat look after seeing herself in the reflection of the toaster oven.

Oh god I forgot. Dad told me to take out the trash and if I leave it in the house again, to quote my father So help me god. She almost sing-songed as she took the trash to the front door.

As she was making her way to the dumpster, she saw something on the ground.

It was a huge lump of something that she was not quite sure what it was. As she approached the pile, it started to moan and groan.

Is that a person?

As she got closer to the person, she recognized the clothes.

Oh my god. Duncan?! she screamed out.

When she got to him, his face was all bloodied, his clothes torn apart, and various items of his were strewn across the ground.

She gently rolled him over to his side and assessed whether or not he was able to talk.

Are you ok? How did this happen? Who did this to you? she said as she caressed what was left of his face.

I.. really.don t know Duncan stammered out.

I was on my way to the carand these two guys just came out of nowhere. They wanted to send me a message he practically choked out, because of the blood pooling in his mouth.

They said that worse things would happen to me if I didnt stay away from you.

Who they hell would want you to stay away from me? Veronica asked somewhat confused.

I dont know but it must be someone who is seriously in love with you

She started to rake through her mind of anyone who would do this. She was about to come to a dead end, but she remembered who she was about to go on a date with.

No, he couldnt do this. I always knew in middle school that he would get seriously jealous over people who wanted to talk to me, but this. He couldnt !

Duncan, let me take you to the hospital

NO! DONT! They said they would hurt more people if we were to get the authorities involved. I cant let someone else get hurt like this he practically cried as he said it.

All right then, lets go to my house to clean you up and you can spend the night with me

Thank you was all he managed to say.



She manages to get Duncan to her apartment and is thankful that she lives on the first floor.

She opens the door and Backup is behind the door growling.

Backup she said sternly.

Be a good boy and go to your room

When the dog couldnt get the hint she yelled NOW!

He ducked his head down, whimpered, and went to her fathers room.

Here, just sit on the couch while I get the first aid kit. Ill be right back.

On her way back from the bathroom to get the first aid kit, she grabbed her cell and snuck into her room.

There is no way that he did this, but he does have a temper..

She began to dial a number that was beginning to become familiar to her.

Hey sweetie how are you? You ready for later?" Justin asked sweetly.

Uh, yeah. About later, Im really sorry but I forgot I told my dad that I would work on this case for him tonight

Cant you work on it later?

I cant. Ive been pushing it back for so long. The client is starting to get a little upset now. They want some results she said a little too quickly.

Well maybe I could join you. Will you be in the office or at home?

Ill be home but its private eye client privilege. I couldnt let you help me or see any of the information.

Oh ok. Well I guess Ill see you at school tomorrow then?" Justin asked in a dejected tone.

Yeah see you then.

Bye and she hung up before he could say anything more.



Justin shut off his cell phone, walked out of his car, and started walking towards her apartment.

He quietly walked over to the window and could see Veronica in the living room cuddling with none other than Duncan Kane.

He pulled out his cell and dialed a number.

Yeah, its me. Continue with the plan and with that he shut his phone.

*********************

The next day at school was a little awkward.

Hey V, I havent seen you in ages. Whats going on? asked her afro-haired companion.

Nothing, Wallace why do you ask?

Well it maybe due to the fact that you came in here hand-in-hand with Duncan looking like he got into a fight over you. He looks like shit

Its nothing. I just happen to see him walking into school today and I just helped him around a couple of places she said not looking directly at him and fidgeting with her hands.

Bullshit Veronica. I saw him coming out of your car this morning. He started to spit out. The anger starting to boil inside of him.

Veronica, I never push you to tell me whats going on, but when I see Duncan all fucked up like that it makes a brotha wonder? Why and how did this happen? And you know the one thing that makes sense, is that it had something to do with you. Because face it, that boy would do anything for you. He said trying to plead with her with his eyes for her to tell him what was going on.

She couldnt stand lying to her best friend anymore, so she pulled him close to her.

Ok if I tell you, you have to promise to not tell anyone especially your mom or my dad. Got it?

Got it. You know I would never tell. Cross my heart and hope to die and stick a needle in my eye. Does that make you feel better? he said chuckling and mimicking the movements of what he just said.

Actually, it does

Come on, just spill already he said a bit annoyed.

Ok, ok. Duncan came by last night and walked Backup with me. I told him that I had a date and that I would talk to him later. As I went outside to throw out the garbage, I found him beaten up and bloody in front of the dumpster. He said that two guys came to give him a message. They told him that if he didnt leave me alone more people would get hurt like him she said almost in one big breath.

Wow, you sure know how to pickem

Veronica punched his arm at the statement.

Ouch, what was that for?

Oh that was for being a jackass. Have you been taking classes from Logan? she smirked.

At the sound of hearing his name, Logan walked up behind Veronica. He was so close she could feel his breath going down her spine and it sent a chill. She shivered slightly but she hoped that no one saw.

Logan didnt let her know, but he saw the shiver that his breath had sent through her. He loved knowing that he still had that affect on her.

He broke his gaze from her and said Sorry Sugarpuss, you cant teach my talent. You have to be born with it he said with his patented smile.

The words almost surprised her because they did not come out with malicious or sarcasm, but she thought with a hint of affection. Was Logan flirting with Veronica Mars?

She turned around to look at him, but she had no idea that he was still so close. They were merely inches away from each others mouths.

She shook off her desire. She said with her most seductive voice into his ear Aww, well thats too bad. I thought you could have given me a lesson

Logans eyes immediately widened, and was seriously contemplating throwing her up against the lockers and having his way with her, but was interrupted.

Hey Ronnie! Justin said as he side-stepped Logan and put his arm around Veronica's waist.

Logan followed Justins arm and simply muttered Shit under his breath.

I thought you didnt like it when people called you that, Ve-ro-ni-ca Logan accused.

I liked it when some people used to call me that she said blushing.

A slight smile started to creep onto Logans face but soon fell as Justin squeezed her waist a little more.

Aw thanks hun Justin said.

Out of the corner of her eye, Veronica saw Duncan coming around the corner.

Guys, Im sorry but this show of male posturing will have to be postponed. I gotta go

And with that, she slipped out of Justins arms and ran to Duncan.

Both guys turned to look at Veronica run after Duncan.

Logan said Well sorry I cant stay to see the PDA that will start in oh about two seconds, but I need to plan for my date on Saturday.

With that, he was gone.

Hey Wallace, is it? How close are Veronica and Duncan? Justin asked.

Theyve known each other as long as shes known Logan. She would do anything for him. Matter of fact, she would do anything for either of them Wallace stated.

Wallace didnt see the green-eyed monster that was starting to bubble under Justins calm demeanor, but it was there.

Thanks man. Ill see you around Justin gritted through his teeth and then Justin was gone, leaving Wallace alone.

V, I sure hope you know what youre doing because I think a lot of people are going to get hurt. Wallace said to himself.



Please just give me a little. You know you want to.

Thank you ,LoganLuver13. You're the best.
***********************************

Chap 7

Logan would never say it, but he liked Dog beach. This particular beach had killer waves, and according to his mentally challenged friend Dick, killer babes.

There was a soft breeze going along the shoreline and the air was filled with wifts of salt water taffy and the sea. There were children running up and down the beach, some with pets, and others with kites.

He arrived fifteen minutes early to find a good spot to set up. He decided to have a picnic on the beach with his date.

Truth be told, he hadnt been to the beach much since the middle of the summer. It would bring up too many memories of the times when he was happy. Happy with her .

He unfolded the dark green blanket and placed it on the sand. He used the picnic basket and his surfboard as weights for the blanket.

It was the middle of the day and the sun was at full blast. It was beating down on him and his washboard abs. The sun twinkled over every muscle dip and groove. It seemed to add to the golden hue that was already emanating from his body.

He took out a water bottle from the basket, slung his head back, and proceeded to drink. He drank so fast that the cool liquid began to spill from the sides of his mouth.

The water trickled down from his mouth to the sides of his neck, down his firm chest, into the grooves of his six-pack abs, and onto the happy trail leading to his nether regions.

After he was done, he wiped his mouth with the back of his arm and threw the water bottle into the nearby garbage can.

He decided to sit down and wait for his date. He put on his sunglasses, laid down on the blanket, and intertwined his fingers behind his head.

Laying there in the sun caused his mind to wonder to the last time he was here with Veronica.


Do you notice anything different? Veronica asked as she spun around in her new swimsuit. It was a hot pink triangle bikini top with a matching low-rise bikini bottom. The hot pink accentuated the blushing hue of her flesh. Her color would change whenever she was around Logan.

Hun, all I know is that you look good enough to eat he said wagging his eyebrows suggestively.

Can you get your head out of the gutter for like two seconds? Veronica asked exasperated.

Now if I did that, where would I keep it? I mean, Ive got to keep my prized possession somewhere Logan said as he wrapped his strong arms around his girlfriends petite waist.

He ducked his head and began kissing her in the crook of her neck. A small moan escaped from her throat as he initiated his assault on her senses. The moan only seemed to add fuel to the already growing fire in the young man.

In between kisses he managed to string a sentence along, Iseethatyou gotanewswimsuit. As he said the last word, he bite her neck and then ran his cool, moist tongue over his love mark.

At first, she winced at the new sensation, but the pain quickly turned into pleasure. Logan she said breathlessly we are in a public place. She was grateful that he was half holding her up because she felt as if her legs had turned into jelly.

He pulled back slightly to look her in the eye. He lifted his hand and caressed the side of her face. Then we should take this to a more private place he said huskily, as he ground his hips into her so she could feel the bulge forming in his pants.

A smirk started to form on her face. She pulled back from his embrace and said How about we dont and say we did?

As soon as she said the last word, she began to run. Logan, realizing what she was doing, tried to grab her. He had plans on showing her her punishment in the back of the Xterra, but she was too fast. She managed to wiggle out of his grasp.

Oh shes going to get it when I catch her he thought.

She turned around to look at her boyfriend who was still standing on the beach. She started to think that maybe he had given up, so she started walking towards the ocean.

Her head registered the sound of someone running behind her, but her body was slow to react. Logan grabbed her kicking and screaming from behind. He hoisted her up onto his shoulders and headed towards the water.

Veronica saw where he was going and the wheels started to turn in her head. Dont you dare was all she said.

Logan looked up to the face of the woman he loved and then at the water. Veronica thought he might have actually had second thoughts and was going to put her down. I guess she didnt know Logan that well.

Just as quickly as he picked her up, he threw her into the water. It was mostly the shock of him throwing her into the water that caused her to sputter around a little before she gathered herself to get up.

When she stood up, she was breathing heavily. As Veronica was wailing into Logan, his mind was preoccupied. Logan was mesmerized by the way her breasts rose and fell as she panted. Her nipples were just hard enough to peep through the thin material of her swimsuit. The water was glistening all over her body. She was the sexist thing that he had ever seen. She was a vision of beauty.

He knows that he should have been listening to her, and that he shouldnt have thrown her into the water, but Logan was never one to do as he was told. Why would he start now?

He just couldnt take looking at her anymore, as he felt his hard as rock cock start getting even harder in his pants. He pulled Veronica out of the water and started to head towards his jeep.

Where are you taking me? Veronica said frustrated.

Youll know soon enough was all that Logan could growl.

Logan? a familiar voice said.

Logan was still half asleep and trying like hell to return to his memory, so he ignored the interruption and didnt answer.

The voice wouldnt go away, but seemed to sit beside him. The voice repeated his name Logan.

Realizing that he lost the memory, he became frustrated and said What without opening his eyes.

UhI thoughtuh we were on a date? Alexis said.

His eyes shot open. It was all starting to come back to him. He quickly sat up trying to put his memory in the back of his head. He removed the sunglasses and started to speak. Yeah, sorry about that. I ended up taking a cat nap.

It looks like you had a very good dream she said pointing to the bulge in his pants.

Logan, never one to be embarrassed, said You never know when you have to be prepared.

Alexis started to blush and turned her face to the side.

A shy one. I think Ill like to break her in he thought.

Finally, he was fully awake. That must be why he hadnt noticed the swimsuit that Alexis wore. It was the same hot pink one that Veronica had worn. She looked good, but not as good as Ronnie did wearing it.

Whoa, thats one funny coincidence he thought.

She noticed that he was staring at her swimsuit, You like?

Huhuh yeahits just that I had a friend with the same exact suit he stammered with a small smile forming on his lips remembering the memory he had earlier in the day.

What, this old thing she said pointing to the suit, Ive had it for like, ever.

Something caught Logans attention. He looked behind Alexis and saw that she had two surfboards with her. She saw the confused look in his eyes and followed his gaze. She shrugged her shoulders and nervously said, I wasnt sure which board you liked best, so I brought a long board and a short board.

Wow Im impressed that you know there is a difference smiled Logan.

Well, you know when I want something, I find out everything about it.

I bet you do she blushed at his comment.

During the next two hours, Logan was teaching his new apprentice the sport of surfing and they ate from the picnic that he had prepared. He had to admit that he liked spending time with her. It was nice, if even for a little while, to not have to worry about the trial, his fathers upcoming court date, losing Ronnie, and even losing himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ring, ring, ring.

Uh I think thats your phone Logan said Alexis.

They can leave a message he said, ignoring the phone.

What if its important? she asked holding his phone.

He reluctantly took the phone from her hand, but smiled when he saw who it was.

Veronica.

Aww you miss me that much? he said.

She couldnt see it, but she knew he was smirking on the other end.

No, I just wanted to make sure that I wouldnt have to bail you out of jail for investigating a person she snarked on the other end.

I miss you she thought but quickly dismissed the idea when she heard Alexis in the background. Reality set in and she put on her game face again.

Remember Logan, no telling your floozy she bit out with a little more anger than she wanted to have.

He thought he heard a tinge of jealous on her end, but thought he was just delusional. Remember she left you.

Dont worry mom. Anything else? he said a bit annoyed.

You know what, forget it. Forget that I called then there was silence on her end.

Shitshitshit. Smooth Echolls

He knew that he was going to have to make it up to her. He just didnt know if she would even let him do that.

He started to gather his things together and told Alexis that he had to leave. She kept talking to him, but he really wasnt paying attention to the conversation. He was still replaying in his head the one that he fucked up with Veronica.

Next thing he knows, hes on his way to his car. He started to think what he could do, and an idea popped into mind.

*********************

Veronica needed to let out some steam from her encounter with Logan. So when Justin called her up to ask if she wanted to hang at his house, she obliged. She knew this would give her time to look around his house for any evidence.

She drove to the front of his gate. She rolled down her window and pressed the buzzer. Before she could say who she was, the gate opened. She looked up and thought Ah a camera, of course.

She hadnt noticed before, but it was truly a big, beautiful house. It was a three story old John D. Rockefeller type mansion. In the entranceway, like she remembered, was the cupid water fountain.

When she pulled up , the double doors in the front of the house opened. On the other side stood her one time friend, one time love interest, and possible one-time criminal. He didnt look like he was up to any wrong doing. He wore a black vintage AC/DC shirt, faded jeans, and a crisp clean pair of white Nikes. She had the urge to say Just do it ,but held back. Only Wallace would get it anyway.

He walked over to her side of the car and opened her door for her.

My lady he held out his arm for her to take. She did and he closed her door.

Oh my bag she said nervously, looking at it on her passenger side.

Dont worry, Ill get it Justin said as he maneuvered to the other side.

Oh no, dont worry. Ill get it she quickly said.

The real problem was that he would see the surveillance photos that she developed earlier. They were photos of him and a woman. She wasnt sure who she was, but thought that she could match up the person with one of the numerous photos he had in the family room.

Before she even had time to worry about being caught, he had already handed her the messenger bag.

Oh, thanks she said smiling weakly.

Crisis averted she thought.

He took her hand and started to lead her into the house. When she walked into the foyer, her eyes glanced around the house. Her eyes stopped at the entrance to the family room.

Bingo

Uh, Justin, it looks like youve added to the room she said pointing in the direction of the family room.

Yeah. Good eye. We just added some more furniture and pictures from our family trip to the French Riviera. Come on, Ill show you he said leading her into the family room.

As soon as she entered, her eyes darted to the photos. She wasnt into the tour of the new furniture, so she had to think of a way to get him to introduce the people that she did not know in the pictures.

Wow this place looks beautiful she said holding up one of the new picture frames.

Hopefully that will get him to come over.

Looking at the picture, his facial features softened just a bit and he sighed.

Yeah, it was a beautiful place he said softly as she saw the myriad of emotions playing in his eyes.

It was the last time that she was with us.

Veronica looked at the photo and saw an elderly woman in between him and his father. She looked very distinguished with her salt and pepper hair coiffed to perfection. She had on a flowing gown and a smile that seemed it could brighten anyones day. But it was her eyes, they were just so comforting and familiar. Veronicas eyes started to widen in comprehension.

Oh my god. Thats nanna isnt it? she asked with affection in her eyes.

Yeah, yeah it is. She passed about a month after we took this photo. She always did ask about you he stated.

I always did like her she smiled fondly remembering the elder Hall.

Looking up from the photo to Veronica, he smiled and said, She liked you too. She would always ask me when would I have the balls to ask you out. He chuckled at the memory.

I never knew that you liked me then she said amazed.

Who says that I still dont? he said softly under his breath.

What did you say? Veronica said.

I said that I have to go get something. Walk around, feel free. Mi casa es su casa he said with a very bad Spanish accent.

Alrighty then, Don Juan she deadpanned.

Ill be back he laughed as he walked away.

Now if I was incriminating evidence , where would I be? she thought.

She thought about it for a second, then said bedroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She walked into his room. It was a normal male teenage room. It was filled with bikini clad women on his walls, three different video game consoles, surf board, and various trophies for various sports.

There was something that caught her eye. She walked over to his dresser. There were pictures of him, but also of a woman. The same woman that was in her surveillance photos.

She quickly pulled out his top draw and started to look through it. There really didnt seem to be anything incrimination, untilshe saw a neatly folded piece of paper taped on the inside of the draw.

She tugged on the piece of paper and it came free. She unfolded it and was shocked when she read its contents.

It was Logans schedule for the past two weeks and for the next two weeks. It had the times of all of his appointments and daily routine.

Why would he have this? she thought, but before she could think about it anymore, she heard footsteps.

Veronica quickly folded the piece of paper and taped it back to its former location. When Justin entered the room, Veronica was laying on the bed reading one of Justins car magazines.

So this is what gets your guys engines revving snarked Veronica.

You know us, cars and chicks. Thats all we need Justin snarked in return.

Veronica could see that he had something behind his back. Whats that? she said pointing to the object he was holding.

What, this? This would be your birthday present he said smiling.

A huge grin appeared on her face. My birthday isnt for another five days.

Thats how I know youll be opening my gift first he smirked.

She started to get giddy like a school girl. She took the present from his hand and proceeded to open it. She slowly unwrapped the small box. There was a velvet blue box with gold trim awaiting under the gift wrap. She paused for a second then opened the box.

She gasped and a single tear ran down her face. She jumped up and gave Justin a hug. All she could say was Thank You. They stayed like this for a couple of minutes.

But, how did you know? she asked pulling back.

The last night that I was with you he stated. You told me that you saw this necklace on someone and said that it was the most beautiful thing that you have ever seen. You said that it reminded you of the one your mother used to have. The next day I went to the jeweler and asked about the platinum locket with the tear drop blue diamond in the middle. Ive kept it ever since.

She didnt know what to say. She had never known anyone who could be so thoughtful and actually listened to her when she spoke.

Veronica looked up to see that he had come closer. He lifted his hands and cupped her face. He just stood there and looked at her. His eyes were glazed over with love. She, on the other hand, had a mix of confusion and the fear of the unknown on hers.

He pulled her face closer to his. Justins lips grazed Veronicas and her mouth parted slightly at the feel of his tongue caressing her bottom lip. He took that as encouragement and slowly edged his tongue into her mouth. He didnt fight for control of the kiss like Logan would have. He just explored every part of her mouth with his tongue. He was gentle and it was comforting.

Justin slowly backed his face away while cupping her face in his hands. He looked into her eyes and breathlessly said, I love you, Veronica.

She immediately stiffened. The phrase triggered a memory.

Who they hell would want you to stay away from me? Veronica asked somewhat confused.

I dont know but it must be someone who is seriously in love with you Duncan said

It was all beginning to be too much for her to handle. Realizing that he may have hurt Duncan, she panicked. She pulled away and said that she forgot she had to do something with Wallace.

Veronica grabbed her things and started running down the stairs. Behind her, she heard him calling after her, but she didnt care.

She had to get out of there. She ran into her car and started to drive off. When she looked into her rearview mirror, she saw him at the gate with his head hung low.

When Justin looked up and saw that her car was out of site, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number. When the phone connected on the other line, he said Update.

The unidentified person said, I think we may have a problem.

*********************


Damn it Veronica said hitting her steering wheel. Throughout all the commotion, I forgot to ask him about the woman.

Ring, Ring, Ring

I so cant deal with him right now she said picking up the phone to see who was calling. When she saw who it was, she answered her phone.

Whatcha get? she said as she tried to clean-up her tear-streaked face.

What. I gets no love? Is that anyway to talk to your brotha? Wallace said laughing into the receiver.

Sorry Shaq Veronica deadpanned.

Hey I can shoot from the free throw line thank you very much he said a mock defensively.

Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, did you find something? Veronica eagerly asked.

Yeah, yeah. Cool it. Dont get your panties in a twist.

Who says that I wear panties? Veronica replied smirking.

TMI! TMI! V, way too much information. Wallace shouted into the phone.

Hey, you asked she said shrugging.

I think that I now have two images that I need to bleach from my memory he gagged.

Whats the other? Veronica asked.

My mom and your dad making out on the couch

Wallace! Eww. I so did not want to know Veronica said scrunching her face up.

Hey, you asked he said shrugging.

Anyway I got some news about your boy Wallace said trying to shake the new image from his head.

Do I need to tip you over? Spill already Veronica impatiently said.

The only thing that I could find out was that he has family here.

Duh Wallace. He has his father here. Give me something that I didnt know she said rolling her eyes.

No not his father. He has other family in Neptune.

Other family? she thought.

Did you get a name? Please tell me that you got a name? Veronica asked.

Sorry. I couldnt. They didnt put a name down.

Ok. Thanks Wallace.

See you later?

Yeah, Ill see you later then she hung up.

He has family living here? I thought he said he moved here because his dad wanted him to have the suburban life and not the Hollywood one. This seems to be getting more and

*********************


The next day, Veronica woke up to find that back-up had made residence on her face.
She tried to yell at him to get off, but his fur kept getting in her mouth. So, she swatted him and he finally got off.

That is not what the lord meant when he said On the seventh day he rested Veronica said to a half sleeping dog.

He cocked his head to the said and gave Veronica the confused dog look. Then he walked away into Keiths bedroom.

She put on her slippers and walked out into the kitchen. There was a piece of paper on the counter, so she went over to read it. It was a note from her father.

Hey honey,
Sorry to run out on you like this. I promise to make my special Sunday breakfast when I get back. One of my contacts called me about that bail jumper I had told you about. Apparently hes in Canada. Why couldnt he have gone to Guam or something? At least I could have gotten a tan in the process. I should be gone for a couple of days, but I will try to get back before your birthday.
Love you,
Dad

She put the letter down and walked over to the freezer. I guess its frozen waffles again.

After she put the waffles in the toaster, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Justin.

Ok, what do I do? hmm.well, I cant keep running from him forever. Can I? she said. I need to get this over with anyway.

Hello?

Hi, short- uh Veronica. I was just calling to see how you were Justin said nervously.

Justin, Ive been meaning to call you

Oh here we go Justin thought.

I wanted to apologize for yesterday. Its just that me..and you.. and all these feelings. I guess what Im trying to say is that it was a little overwhelming she said trying to convince him.

I just worried because I tried to call you afterwards, but you didnt pick up your phone he said dejectedly.

Yeah, Im sorry about that. I just needed some alone time. You know? she said dropping her voice a little.

Yeah, I know. Its just that I thought you were mad at me or something.

No, Im not mad. Just a little shook up.

How about you let me take you out for Sunday breakfast? he asked with enthusiasm.

What and miss my famous Leggo my Eggo waffles? she joked.

We wouldnt want that, butIve got it in good authority that you could eat your weight in waffles. Do you think you have enough? laughed Justin.

Come to think of ityoure right. So, when are you coming to get me?

Ill be there in thirty minutes

Ok see you then. Bye

Bye short-stack he said laughing as he hung up the phone.

*********************

I cant believe I ate that much said Veronica.

I know what you mean. Really, where do you hide it all? Maybe I should call Guinness and see what they have to say about it Justin laughed as he was looking at the flat stomach of Veronica Mars.

Jealous much? snarked Veronica.

No, just disturbed Justin said as Veronica punched him in the arm.

Someone had been watching the playful banter going on between the two. There was something growing in the pit of his stomach, but he held back. He decided to approach them instead.

Hey Veronica his voice softened and he looked to his right and said Justin.

Hey Duncan. How are you? Veronica asked as she approached him to give him a hug.

Im getting a little better. You know my bodies still a little sore Duncan said glancing at Veronica then the floor.

Wow Duncan. I dont mean to pry, but what happened to you? Justin asked with concern in his voice.

Veronica and Duncan were both taken aback by his question. Duncan didnt know what to say because he thought that he should know what happened to him.

Uh, it was just some thugs who wanted something of mine Duncan said looking at Veronica.

V, can I talk to you for a second? Duncan asked.

Sure. Justin, Ill be right back

When Duncan was sure that he pulled her far enough he asked, What are you doing here with him? What if he had hurt you the way he did me?

So thats Logans birdie Veronica thought.

You think that he had something to do with it? Veronica asked narrowing her eyes.

Yeah. Dont you? He seems to be the only person who is trying to get your attention. Hes trying to separate you from all of your friends. I mean, when was the last time that we hung out? Youre always spending your time with him Duncan said quickly.

Duncan, I dont know what happened. Ok. I think you should probably go home or something and rest. You dont look too good. Veronica said looking at her somewhat deranged friend.

Forget it. I dont know why I tried. You seem to like the criminal element anyway he mumbled as he stormed away.

What the fuck was that about? Veronica thought.

Is everything ok? Justin asked pointing to the retreating form of Duncan Kane.

Im not really sure. I guess that he might need to cool off a bit she said trying to convince Justin.

Its getting a little late. Why dont I take you home?

Id like that Veronica said.

You chariot awaits Justin said as he pulled her towards his car.

*********************

Veronica knew this was going to be difficult. During her 4th period class, she slipped a note into a persons locker stating that she wanted to see them after school at three in the mop closet. She wasnt sure if the person in question would show. But at least she could say that she had tried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its three oclock. Where are they? she thought.

Her back was to the door, so she didnt see when the door knob began to turn. Within seconds, the person had opened the door and was facing Veronicas back.

So, this is where you get your jobs done? snarked the unidentified person.

Veronica spun around and smiled Oh Dick, youre so funny.

Ok, even you know that youre laying it on thick right? Dick asked with a perplexed look on his face.

Yeah, I know. Well lets get down to business

Now thats what Im talking about smirked Dick while wagging his eyebrows.

Oh eww and hell no Veronica said as she was looking for a bucket to throw up in.

Listen, I have a job for you. I need for you to keep an eye out on Duncan.

You mean spy? Why do I have to do your dirty work?

Its just that something weird is going on with him, but Im not sure what it is. I want to help him but he seems to always be on the defense with me. Veronica said truthfully.

Whats in it for me, Mars?

How about a months worth of Skist?

Hell, I could do that. I wouldnt want to deplete your hoe account on me snarked the blonde.

And Ill leave you alone for a moth. No comments, no dirty looks. Hell you wont even know that I exist. And no one can know about this.

Youve got yourself a deal.

Wow I didnt know that it would be that easy

Eh, I never did like Duncan then the blonde left.

Who would have thought that I would ever need a Casablancas, let alone Dick, to help me with something? I hope I know what I just got myself into she thought as she left the mop closet laughing.


I don't want to be a meanie or anything, but you know an addict needs their fix. Come on, just give me a little.
