“I’m so full I think you two are going to have to roll me out of here.” Keith said as he pushed his chair slightly away from the table.
“I second that. Mom this was great.” Wallace said after swallowing his last piece of pumpkin pie.
Logan leaned close to Veronica, “Okay you were right it was a good idea to have everyone come here for Thanksgiving dinner.”
“Of course it was, it was my idea.” Veronica said as she gave Logan a quick kiss. “Alicia let me help you get this stuff into the kitchen.”
“No you don’t. Keith, Alicia, and you will go in to the family room and watch something on TV. Wallace, Dick, Darrell, and I can clear the table and get everything put away.”
“Like I’m trusting the four of you in my kitchen. You guys can clean up but I will be there to keep you on tract and delegate responsibilities.”
Dick rolled his eyes. “Another words Ronnie, you’ll be bossing us around.”
“Exactly. Lets get going boys. Dad you and Alicia can go ahead, we’ll join you in a bit.” Veronica said as she put their plates on top of hers and made her way to the kitchen.
Logan walked in with the huge platter of turkey. “Baby, your subterfuge needs a little work.” He sat it down on the counter and backed Veronica into a corner.
“So you saw them looking at each other over dinner too.”
“There were definitely some moments.” Logan said as he leaned down and touched his lips to hers. Veronica responded enthusiastically. They stood there for several minutes before Wallace, Dick and Darrell joined them.
“Watch the hands, my eyes don’t need to burn anymore.” Wallace said with a grimace.
“I second that, Dude. Logan I don’t think Ronnie wants you pawing her with an audience.”
“Dick is right.”Veronica said as she gave Logan one last quick kiss before getting ready to rally the troups. “Okay Dick and Darrell, your jobs are to rinse off the plates and silverware and put them in the dishwasher. Wallace, you and Logan get all the food from the table and bring it in so I can put it into containers and get it in the fridge.”
The four males rolled their eyes and got to it. Within thrity minutes all the food was put away, and most of the dishes were in the dishwasher. The rest would be able to be finished in the next load. Wallace and Logan were in the process of cleaning off the dining room table.
“Darell why don’t you go see what the parents are up to and let us know if it’s safe to go in.” Veronica said with a wink.
“Fine.”
“Hey kid, if you don’t want to watch football you can come into my room and play some video games.” Dick offered.
“Thanks man, I may take you up on that.” Darrell said as he left the kitchen.
“That was nice of you Dick. So was dinner bearable?” Veronica said as she opened the fridge and handed Dick a beer.
“Yeah it was nice. I appreciate the invite.”
“No one should be alone on Thanksgiving Dick, not even you. I wants to say thank you, I know you toned the attitude down siince my Dad was here. I appreciate that.”
“So does that mean you’re going to miss me Ronnie?”
“Where are you going?”
“I found this little two bedroom townhouse on the beach. I think it’s time I had my own place. I think I’m ready for it.”
“I know we are never going to be close Dick, but you don’t have to leave if you don’t want to.”
“I been a kid for most of my life. I got to grow up sometime. Logan turned me on to great estate planner so that my money will last longer. My Dad is actually buying the place for me. He and I finally talked, you know about Beaver-Cassidy.”
“How did that go?”
“It sucked big time. I know I’ve never said this before, but I’m sorry about Shelley’s party. I know it doesn’t mean shit. I just thought that there would never be consequences for anything we 09ers did. So many things could have been different.”
“I know. I can’t forgive Beaver for what he did. But I can understand what happened to Cassidy and how it effected his decisions. You and I can work on the rest, deal?”
“Deal.”
“Hey you two it safe to come in.” Darrell called to them.
“C’mon Ronnie lets go watch grown men smash into each other.”

Several hours later Veronica lowered herself into the whirlpool tub filled with bubbles. She sat back and let the warmth seep into her bones. She groaned luxuriously.
“I thought we talked about the no fantasizing about other men in the bathtub rule.” Logan said as he watched Veronica’s skin turn all rosy from the temperature of the water.
“I’m not fantasizing. I’m just letting the water relax me.” Veronica said with her eyes closed.
“You make quite the picture Veronica. I don’t suppose you want any company in there do you?”
Veronica opened her eyes and looked into Logan’s deep brown ones. The desire she saw there was apparent. It stirred something deep in her belly everytime Logan looked at her like that. It was like in his eyes she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever been with. “But there are bubbles.”
“Do the bubbles smell flowery?”
“They are unscented.”
Logan smiled as he began to remove his clothes. Veronica scooted up so that he could get in behind her. Logan lowered himself carefully into the water, once he was in he brought his arms around Veronica and pulled her back toward him. “Yep, I really see why these are so popular on the sitcoms.”
Veronica settled back against Logan and closed her eyes. Logan brought his hands up and caressed the damp skin around her neck and shoulders. He slowly kneaded them causing Veronica to groan in appreciation.
Veronica grabbed the mesh sponge she had put in the corner of the tub and after squirting some shower gel on it, she turned herself around and straddled his lap. She took the sponge and began to gently rub it against his skin. Veronica started on his chest, and worked her way up to his shoulders and down his arms. She then held him close as she massaged the gel into his back.
Logan took the sponge from her and then after capturing her lips with his slid under the soapy water. In less than ten seconds they broke the surface of the water coming back up for air. Since Veronica hadn’t been unseated when they went under, Logan grabbed the sponge and with the wickedest of grins, took it in his hand and said, “It’s my turn.”
Veronica just grinned back at him as they reached for each other all over again.

Logan slowly woke up the next morning with Veronica wrapped all around him. He smiled as he kissed the top of her head, in response she snuggled, if possible, closer to him.
Living with each other had made him aware of how they each had their own idiosyncracies. Veronica on morning’s she didn’t have to get up early for class or a case loved to snuggle close to him. She knew that he was not a morning person, and made sure that when she had her early classes that she reset their coffeepot so he would have fresh before he left for the day. Neither of them were neat freaks but they manged to get their dirty clothes in the large hamper. Logan got better at gauging when Veronica needed some alone time, he also got better at not getting mad when she needed that time. Veronica had eased off on the expectaion that Logan like school the way she did. He had compromised, and agreed that he would sit down with her and he would decide what he wanted to major in, and maybe not take so many easy ‘A’ classes.
They still fought. Veronica insecurity would sometimes come to the fore when Logan’s naturally friendly ways had girls flirting with him. He always put them off. Logan would get upset if Veronica got too nitpicky about his choice of friends. They did agree that they liked Heather. Veronica would even occasionally join them in their online competitions at Mario Kart. They were slowly learning that while they did love each other, that the relationship was work. Any good one was, but the good relationships were always worth the effort.
Veronica hated when Logan spent what she considered to much money on her. Logan hated it when she wouldn’t let him spoil her. As a compromise to have a normal Christmas with price limits on gifts, Veronica had to agree to go to Europe with Logan after their sophmore year, for the summer. They would spend the three months traveling all through Europe. Logan wouldn’t book four star hotels and Veronica wouldn’t insist on hostels. Logan let Veronica plan the itinerary, when she couldn’t decide for sure where she wanted to go, Logan told her to break it up they didn’t have to see everything on this trip. What they didn’t see on this trip they would see when they went after graduation.
Logan liked planning for a future with Veronica, he didn’t make it a secret that he was happy, but he didn’t push her to make this marriage permanent. He figured if they could get through the first year without killing each other, he would begin to work on asking her to stay.
Veronica woke up as she felt Logan’s hand stroking her back. When she looked up at Logan, he had a slightly pensive look on his face. It was a look she was beginning to recognize, he was thinking about the future. More specifically their future. Veronica knew Logan was worried that as soon as it was safe she would ask for a divorce. It was hard to explain that she liked the way they were. She was happy, and while she was cautious, she didn’t feel the terror of waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop. She reached up to cup his face with fuzzy overnight growth, Veronica quickly moved to press her lips to his. “Good morning.”
“Good morning.”
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I was just thinking I don’t think we have anything for breakfast.”
“Sure we do.”
“What do we have in the house that we can have for breakfast?”
“Each other.” Veronica said as she pulled Logan on top of her.
