death and rebirth are things that will never be new.

I had to admit that this black hair thing probably wasn't half as bad as I had made it out to be. I guess Veronica more or less surprised me with it. I had a hard enough time getting used to the fact that she now had black hair let alone my own hair, but I sort of felt relieved in a way with it. Like the hair color was a cover or a flush of who we

"Haven't. Well, except for that one time, I haven't touched a Mars Investigations case unless he asked me to." I told him, "And that one time... well, who in their right mind is going to turn down three grand for a week's work? It was just some rich girl who wanted to know if her fiance was after her for her money. A total nothing case, just Dad was too busy running for sheriff to take it

[logan_echolls]

"I'm not just talking about the cases," I told her with a small grin. Plus, she was still practically her own investigative service - and I know that she's taken on more cases just from being at school. This whole 'defying daddy's orders'? She was sort of pro at it even if she was claiming complete innocence

"Fine... fine." I laughed softly, "But I still don't think most of my completely ignoring my dad's proclamations is that big of a deal. I mean, if I'd listened to him about everything we would have missed out on all the silly movies and ice cream fun." I pointed out with a smirk. It was so nice and comfortable watching movies with him that night, just relaxing, resting my head on his shoulder by the end of the evening. We were barely even classifying each other friends then, but we didn't seem to have a problem with being so close to each other. Of course it became beyond obvious why later, but I wouldn't trade any part of that evening for anything

Veronica says ice cream fun like she says bondage fun and I can't help but laugh for a moment and shake my head towards her. "And that would just be a shame." I finished for her. I really don't know where exactly we would be if she hadn't invited me in that night. I don't know, even if we hadn't slept together? I wanted her close to me. Even if we had gone back to trading hurtful barbs. It was better than nothing, right

[renewedsoul_v]

"It would've." I agreed with him. "Completely awful and tragic." Yeah, there wasn't anything in the world that could convince me to go back to not being this close to him. I didn't want to go back to us tearing each other down every chance we got. I wanted to be with him, I wanted us to be happy

[logan_echolls]

"Which is why I'm personally glad that you defy your dad's orders," I replied with a soft laugh against her skin. "And as much as I absolutely love being the center of attention..." - not so much as of late - "I'm definitely sure that this whole fresh new start is something good for us. I was just thinking that." Even if I doubt that we can be anything but some sort of gossip at times.

I try not to smirk in some sort of accomplishment at her soft moans or hitched breaths, but I'm not too sure I can help it. "Really, newlyweds do all that?" Again, mock innocence, but at the very least it amused her. "You actually make the first few months of marriage sound really good

[renewedsoul_v]

"Figured." I replied softly, "And yeah, fresh start definitely sounding like a good thing." I agreed. Sure, I'd figured it would have been college in the fall, but it didn't matter that it was Virgina Beach to me. The location really didn't matter if I had Logan. I wasn't sure I could do this whole fresh start thing on my own. But I wasn't on my own. I couldn't exactly be Veronica except for when I was with him, but I still had him

I inhaled softly as she pressed her body firmly against mine and whispered words of love against my lips, my hands clutched to her hips gently. She shudders underneath my touch and I shut my eyes, sucking on her tongue and breaking the kiss only to press the other kisses along her chin, briefly her eyebrow and back to her lower lip

[renewedsoul_v]

I was half surprised I was capable of any clear thoughts between how tired I was and how dizzy Logan's kisses were making me feel, but my mind was still more or less focused on the idea of living with Logan. I couldn't help but think no matter where we lived together that it would be better to get some place new that was ours rather than one of us trying to move in somewhere that was already well established as the other person's space. That's just added stress. And no matter how much you might love somebody, most people tend to get a little twitchy about people invading their space

[logan_echolls]

"Good to know," I murmured against the soft skin of her stomach, giving an open mouth kiss across her belly button as she squirmed a little breathlessly. Letting out a quiet breath, I moved back up to kiss her lips. "I'm really suddenly wishing I wasn't so exhausted," I told her honestly with a small smile, "Because... really, you are completely sexy with and without the new colored hair. I think it's a general 'I'm attracted to you' thing

[renewedsoul_v]

I was just as exhausted as he was, I knew, because as much as he was making me squirm, making me want more than just kisses, I didn't doubt for a second that I could have fallen asleep in his arms after I got off the phone with my dad if I'd managed to relax enough

You know, despite getting up even earlier than 8 am for school the thought of getting up early like that for another long day of driving exhausts me even more. I yawn and rub an eye briefly as Veronica leans over on her side to set the alarm clock nearby.

"I severely doubt there's any reasoning not to drive just a few more hours there. Though, I'm actually driving some tomorrow. I don't care what you say, I'm driving." I told her firmly without room to argue. There was no way in hell I'd play with the useless radio (driving Veronica crazy in the process) for hours on end or count how many signs we passed until we got to the next state. However, she had managed to drive both days. Not like I hadn't offered to do if for her. I occasionally have the world's most stubborn girlfriend.

Luckily, I think she's actually too tired to complain, though we'll definitely see in the morning. I kissed her softly again after she yawned. "Sleep tight," I said softly, reaching over to turn off the nearby light before wrapping my arm back around her.
