Denial was never a word Logan was familiar with. Sure, he had denied doing things before, but he had never once denied his own feelings. As he sat and watched his best friend and his girlfriend however, he couldn't help but think that maybe deep down he was harboring feelings for Veronica Mars.

He couldn't explain it, because he had randomly kissed girls before and nothing came of it. Veronica was an exception to that rule, because when he kissed her every thought he had ever had about her changed.

He watched as Duncan wrapped his arm around Veronica and looked down at her ever so sweetly. He looked like a puppy, and Logan couldn't understand how Veronica Mars could be interested in a freaking puppy.

The sound of feet padding toward them, caused Logan to look up. Lilly was walking toward him, bright eyed and smirking.

"Logan, you're here. Again."

"How very observant of you Lilly," he smirked.

She sauntered over to him, and bent down so she was eye to eye with him. "Want to go upstairs?"

"Lilly, we're not together anymore."

"Your point?"

"We're not together anymore."

He saw Veronica eyeing him, and then she ducked her head against Duncan's shoulder. It almost seemed like the adorable little blonde was doing some denying of her own.

"God, like that has ever mattered."

"It does now."

Lilly stared at him for a moment, eyes narrowed as she rested one hand on her hip and all Logan could do was smirk. "What's her name? It's not Carrie Bishop is it? Wait, is it Madison?"

Logan glanced over at Veronica and smiled knowingly before turning his eyes back to Lilly. "I'm surprised you're suddenly so interested in my life Lilly. When we were dating you couldn't care less what I was doing."

"You mean who," Lilly smirked.

"No, that was you," Logan shrugged.

"Guys can you just cut it out?" Veronica questioned, sitting up.

"Yeah, doesn't this get old at some point?" Duncan chimed in.

"Did you hear that Logan? We're upsetting the children," Lilly laughed. "Seriously, you two are like a Disney movie waiting to happen," she added with an eye roll.

"Lilly? Shut up," Duncan spoke, glaring at his sister.

"Duncan's right Lil, let it go," Veronica offered meekly.

"Hear that? It's unanimous Lilly, no one wants you here," Logan smirked.

"Actually," Duncan spoke, standing up. "I was thinking about heading up to my room for awhile. I promised Veronica I'd show her that new video game I bought."

"I really hope video game is code for something else, because if it isn't? You two are totally still in the fourth grade," Lilly laughed.

Logan saw the look that came over Veronica's face, and he couldn't help but wish she would stand up for herself. The odd thing was there was a part of him that was glad Veronica and Duncan were still just holding hands and not much more. The kiss he had shared with Veronica, well the one he remembered, had been hot, and he couldn't imagine that she kissed Duncan in that fashion.

"If it's okay, I really need to get home," Veronica said, looking up at Duncan. "I can go call my mom to get me if you wanna try out that game…"

"I can drop you off," Logan offered up before he could stop himself. "I'm heading home myself."

"Wouldn't that be out of your way?" Veronica almost hissed.

"Nah, no need bothering your mom when I can just give you a lift," he smiled.

"Hey man, if you don't mind that'd be great," Duncan spoke. "I actually have a report I need to start writing anyway."

"But…" Veronica's voice trailed as she shot Logan a quick glare.

"Then it's settled," Logan nodded clapping his hands together. "Duncan can write his paper, I can take you home, and Lilly can take a flying leap off the shortest pier."

"This is what I get for hanging out with you people?" Lilly huffed.

"You hang out with us because the people in your own grade hate you," Logan spoke.

"No, they just don't appreciate my fabulousness," Lilly shrugged. "It's okay, I'd be jealous of me, too."

"And with that, I think it's time for us to go," Logan frowned, "Veronica?"

He watched as she stared down at the floor. "I really think it would be easier, just to call my mom."

"Sweetie, Logan doesn't mind dropping you off," Duncan smiled. "I'll call you tonight, 'kay?"

Logan watched as Duncan gave Veronica a quick peck on the lips. Seriously, why had he never noticed before just how lacking Duncan was in his affection with Veronica. The girl deserved so much more, not that he'd ever be the one to give it to her, because she was off limits. At least that's what she told him after their second kiss, he mused.

"Okay," Veronica nodded. "I guess I'm ready then."

"Yeah, so am I," Logan smiled brightly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Logan pulled into Veronica's driveway and frowned as he put the car in park. "So the silent treatment on the ride over was fun. We should do it again real soon."

"I can't believe you offered to give me a ride home," Veronica said, crossing her arms.

"I've dropped you off at home before Veronica, relax."

"That was before," she spoke, her tone hushed.

"Before we kissed? Yes, I realize that, but I thought we agreed it wouldn't change things."

"It doesn't," Veronica shrugged. "I just don't get why you offered."

"I'm a nice guy, Mars," Logan smirked. "I'm starting to think that maybe you're just scared to be alone with me."

He watched with amusement as Veronica's eyes widened and her mouth twisted. She really was a predictable little thing, Logan thought to himself.

"I'm glad this is all one big joke to you," Veronica huffed.

"Right, a joke, that's what everything is to me, life is one big joke," Logan spoke, shaking his head.

"I didn't mean it like that Logan, it's just that, kissing Duncan's best friend? It's not me, it's what other girls do, girls that I've talked about, and now? Now I've done it, too!"

"Twice," Logan spoke bluntly. "I know it's not you, Veronica. It's not exactly me either. That's why I think there's more to it."

Veronica dropped her head and frowned. Logan wanted to reach out to her, but he knew she'd just pull away. Reaching Veronica Mars had to be done carefully, because one wrong move could mess up everything for the both of them.

"We really shouldn't even be talking about this, because it's over. It happened, and it's done."

"Except neither one of us can stop thinking about it," Logan spoke, his eyes never leaving her.

"I don't want to think about it, though!"

A grin fell across Logan's face. "Veronica Mars, you've been having dirty thoughts about me, haven't you?"

"Shut up," Veronica frowned. "I hate this!"

"Hate the x-rated dreams? Or the fact that you know they could be reality if you just said the word?"

"Logan!"

"Admit it Mars, you can't resist me," Logan smirked.

"I don't want you Logan. I want Duncan!"

"So if I was to kiss you right now, you could just pull away and feel nothing?" Logan challenged.

It was a risk. He knew it before he even said it, but something inside of him really wanted to kiss Veronica Mars again. Somehow, he managed to push his best friend out of his mind as he smiled at the blonde in front of him.

"Yes, but it's never going to happen," Veronica spoke shaking her head. "I'm not letting you kiss me again!"

"Because you know you'd feel something," Logan smiled.

"No, because I told you on the beach, never again."

"Except you don't mean that," Logan shrugged.

"I think I know how I feel," Veronica huffed.

"Yes, you know how you feel. You just refuse to admit it out loud," Logan spoke honestly.

Veronica rolled her eyes. "I have to go," she snapped. "This has been fun Logan, a real treat!"

"Veronica wait," Logan spoke, grabbing her arm before he could stop himself. "Can you just do me one thing?"

"I'm not kissing you again," Veronica spoke with determination.

"Tell me that you don't feel anything for me, anything more than friendship. If you can tell me that, honestly tell me that, I'll never mention what happened again."

He watched as Veronica's jaw clenched together and she stared at him with her eyes narrowed. He knew it wasn't the right time to be thinking it, but seriously the girl was so hot when she was mad.

"I love my boyfriend Logan," she spoke. "I am with Duncan and I want to stay with Duncan."

"I don't think that's what I asked you, Veronica," Logan spoke with a smirk.

She rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head for a moment. "I don't have those kinds of feelings for you Logan. I don't."

Logan felt a smile fall across his face, "I don't think you looked at me the whole time you said that."

"Can't you just leave this alone?" Veronica whispered. "Logan please just leave it alone."

"Hey," Logan spoke quietly touching Veronica's arm. "Veronica, look at me."

Veronica looked up at him with watery eyes and he sighed as he moved his hand over to her face. Gently he wiped the tear from her eye and forced a tiny smile. Veronica tilted her head slightly and looked at him for a moment. He knew she was thinking, he just wished he could read her mind.

"Hey, what's going through that pretty head of yours?" Logan questioned.

"Being this close to you in a vehicle isn't a good thing," she admitted with nervous laugh.

"It's probably because you want to rip my clothes off of me right now," Logan smiled. "It's okay, I'm used to it by now," he smirked.

"Why can't this be simple?" Veronica asked honestly.

"It's as simple as we make it."

"Yeah sure it is, when it's just us," Veronica frowned. "Then I walk into my house and Duncan calls and suddenly I remember that my boyfriend is your best friend."

"Duncan isn't here right now Veronica, it's just us , okay? So any urge you have to strip away articles of my clothing, feel free…"

Veronica let out a little giggle and leaned closer to Logan. He wasn't sure what she was doing until he felt her lips brush ever so gently against his. He leaned in and felt Veronica's hand cup the back of his neck as she deepened the kiss. There was something urgent and desperate about the way Veronica was kissing him, but Logan wasn't about to complain. Her tiny fingers toyed with the collar of his shirt and he couldn't help but let out a small groan.

He gently pulled away and placed a few kisses against her jawbone as his lips traced a line down her neck and collarbone. He heard her gasp gently and then suddenly she was pushing him away from her.

"I'm sorry," she spoke out of breath. "I shouldn't have done that."

Hey, you won't hear me complaining," Logan spoke trying to find his composure. "I just didn't expect that."

"Yeah, neither did I really," Veronica admitted. "Logan , this is seriously wrong, you know that right?"

"You've mentioned that fact a few times, yeah."

"And Duncan and Lilly…"

"Forget about Duncan and Lilly for a minute Veronica!"

"You know what I dreamed last night Logan? I dreamed that we were sitting beside Duncan's pool, and I kissed you," she admitted, "I just pulled you over to me and kissed you right beside the Kane pool, and you laughed and grabbed me and kissed me back."

"That doesn't sound like a bad dream to me."

"Then Lilly and Duncan walked out," she frowned. "They saw us, and Duncan looked so lost. Lilly ran over to me, slapped me, and told me she hated me, and Duncan told us to leave and never come back. They looked at me with this disgusted look on their faces Logan."

"It was just a dream Veronica," Logan spoke softly.

"Really? Because it felt real to me."

"First of all, Lilly would probably thank you for taking me off her hands," Logan spoke with a smile. "At the very least she'd just make some comment about you getting her leftovers. I can't tell you what Duncan would do if he found out, he's hard to read at times."

"I'm sure he wouldn't thank you for making out with his girlfriend behind his back," Veronica spoke shaking her head.

"We can't spend our lives worrying about what other people think."

"Maybe you can't, but I don't think I can break up with my boyfriend over a few kisses that I don't understand."

"I'm not exactly trying to put a ring on your finger, Mars," Logan snorted. "I just think maybe there's something here."

"I have something with Duncan," Veronica reasoned.

"Veronica, I know you think you have some fairytale romance with DK, but can I ask you something? What happened to Cinderella after the Prince took her away? How do you know that they didn't end up divorced after a few years? What if his mother hated her and spent years making her life miserable? I bet you didn't see that on the movie did you?" Logan spoke, shaking his head.

"Huh?" Veronica asked, her mouth gapping open.

"I'm just saying, life isn't a fairytale, and even if it was, do you really know how it's going to end?"

"So what do you want me to do?" Veronica questioned.

"I want you to think about things and decide what you want. If Duncan wasn't my best friend, and Lilly wasn't yours and they were just random people we know, would you still feel this way?"

"That's the thing Logan, they're not random people, and I have to think about them. I have to think about all of us," she added as she opened the car door.

"If I have to literally throw my hat in the ring to have a chance with you, I'll do it," Logan stated boldly.

"Logan…"

"Just think about it Veronica, about us."

Veronica nodded her head as she climbed out of the Xterra. "I don't think I can keep from it."

"Because I'm so sexy?"

"Yeah," Veronica nodded with a tiny smile. "That's it."

Logan laughed as she shut the door and shook her head. Maybe, just maybe, he would get a chance with Veronica Mars. As strange as it all felt, it also felt right somehow. Really, really right.
