I laughed as she played along into this fake dream of marriage and married life, "I hope to God I didn't embarrass you with those vows. You know schnapps and me
( ... )
"No, of course not." I laughed softly, "You were very sweet... drunkenly pledging your undying love for me." I added, smirking. Being able to laugh like this after everything that had happened today was nice. Something we both needed before we went completely crazy
( ... )
"Which is possibly why your dad hates me. I'm a bad influence on his daughter, drinking before eloping with you? Not to mention the fact that you changed your last name to boot. I didn't like sneak you out of your bedroom window to drive us to Vegas, did I? Remind me what your vows were? Something about death do us part, even if I have to sleep on the couch?" I asked, laughing softly with her
( ... )
"Don't forget the fact that we're three years away from being legal drinking age." I added with a smirk. "And would it be such a bad thing if you stole me off to Vegas?" I questioned while I pondered what the vows would have been. "And yes, to death to us part even if you have to sleep on the couch was definitely in there...but I can't see me making you sleep on the couch. Much rather have you with me. But if you want to sleep on the couch, I suppose you can." I teased giggling. "There was of course also the obligatory promise to honour each other. But I so didn't promise to obey
( ... )
"That really depends if you're asking me or this Nathaniel guy," I said in relation to her question if it would be such a bad thing if I stole her off to Vegas. The lines only blurred - which was fake us and real us? It was stupid thing in general to say to her, mostly like everything else that had managed to come out of my mouth today
( ... )
"Sorry. I didn't really want to wake you up, but somehow I figure bed is preferable to attempting to sleep through the night in the car..." I told him softly. "I'm gonna go rent us a room. Can you grab our suitcases from the back while I do that?" I asked, before I got out of the car
( ... )
I settled the suitcases on the floor next to the queen sized bed. Looking around for a moment I just felt awkward here. I didn't know if I wanted to just get things over tonight or not, because I wasn't exactly sure that I'd be able to fall asleep again. I almost wanted to keep moving so I didn't have to feel this stopped motion and Veronica looked like she felt the same way
( ... )
"Okay, so we raid the vending machines, eat, then try not to die from hair dye fumes?" I asked, teasing, if only a little bit, as I looked up to him as he came back out of the bathroom
( ... )
"Veronica..." I started, and I was about to protest money wise cause there were thousands there when I realized that she was right about saving money. We didn't know how long we'd be gone and knowing how deeply stupid the head of Balboa County sheriff's department was, it could be months, couldn't it.
She crosses the distance between us and presses her lips softly against mine and after this day it seems like the best thing in the world. To know that she's actually still there is better than anything right now, because I need her more than ever.
I just try to start to start again even if she's joking about this morning now. "Veronica..." I look up for a moment and let a breath out, "Veronica, this morning. About this morning, I'm really sorry. Okay? I was trying to push you away and... I just hate that I hurt you. That wasn't what I wanted to do."
Her offer of junk food and dye fumes was almost starting to sound appealing. I just wanted this over with. I hate that you're out here because of me, are the words that I'm missing in
( ... )
"I know you are, Logan." I nodded to him. "It's okay. I promise. I get it. Why you were. But I'm still here, so it doesn't matter anymore, okay?" I asked. "It's over and we're okay. It's completely forgotten." I insisted gently
( ... )
"Thanks," I told her softly when she sighed in relief. I'm not sure I was quite feeling relief yet, but I knew it was better that she was here with me and that was mostly what mattered right now. I dipped my head to kiss her softly like I wanted to do all the times she'd been upset this afternoon but I had been too stubborn or scared to do so
( ... )
I returned the kiss softly, a smile forming on my lips, my eyes remaining closed as he ran his fingers though my hair gently. It felt so good just to be close to him right now. It almost made everything from this morning feel like some sort of horrible nightmare. Almost
