Chapter 8
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Keith walked up to the door, and couldn’t believe that it was his apartment. There were wonderful smells coming from it and he heard laughing. He heard Veronica laughing like she hadn’t laughed since Lilly died. If Logan could do this for her, maybe they were better for each other then anyone thought. He walked into the apartment. “Something smells great honey. Hi Logan, how did everything work out at the office?”
“Hey Mr. Mars, sorry Keith. Everything went great. All the paperwork is on its way. Laptop is purchased; and I’m in the process of getting all my passwords. We have an offer on a house, and Veronica is making me give up Betty. Keith I don’t really have to give up Betty do I?”
“I want to say of course you don’t, but maybe I should find out who Betty is?”
“It’s not a who Dad, it’s a what.” Veronica chimed in.
Logan put his hand to his heart and acted as if he’d been stabbed. “Veronica! Betty is not a what. Keith talk to her, tell her a man’s ride is not just a what.”
“I get it. Betty is the Big Bird mobile.” Keith said with all seriousness.
Veronica burst out laughing before she could help it. She quickly changed that into fake coughing when Logan glared at her. “Sorry babe.”
“Logan I would say technically you don’t have to give up Betty. However, it really stands out, which mean all stake-outs would have to be in Veronica’s car. Son, you’re basically six feet tall, you’ll feel like a sardine within an hour. If you don’t want to give up Betty maybe you could get her painted another color.”
“I don’t know, the Solar Yellow is so me.”
“Honey, they have a Red Brawn you could have it painted, or even their Midnight Blue is cool.” Veronica said after quickly hooking up her laptop to search on Nissan’s site.
“Red Brawn? I like the name, let me see what it looks like.” Logan said as he came over to her computer.
Veronica rolled her eyes, behind his back at the idea of men and their rides.
“Don’t roll your eyes Veronica, a man’s ride is serious business.” Logan said without taking his eyes off the screen
“I think eating is serious business.” Keith said.
“Have a seat Dad, we’ll serve up the food. Logan get off my computer and come eat dinner.”
Logan turned away from the computer and helped Veronica put everything on the counter so they could eat. “You’re just lucky I like my women bossy.”
“You like me no matter what, so sit down so we can eat.” Veronica said as she kissed Logan on the cheek.
They all dug into the food.

A few hours later Veronica and Logan were on the sofa watching television while Keith was doing some work on his laptop. Covertly he was watching the two of them interact with each other. The little glances and touches spoke volumes about the relationship, and how far it had evolved. If they weren’t lovers yet, they soon would be. Intellectually Keith knew his daughter had stopped being innocent that long ago December night. He also knew when a girl stays overnight in boyfriends room it’s not because they are playing video games all night.
However, he also knew that his daughter was hell on wheels and it would take someone very special to take her on. Maybe Logan was worthy; of course, that was a big maybe.
“Dad take a picture it will last longer.” Veronica teased.
“Just so I can begin to prepare myself, are you staying at Logan’s tonight?”
“Yes, I want to stay at Logan’s.” Veronica said, it was just weird having your father know that much about your sex life.
“Okay since I still have some work here, I’ll see you two bright and early in the morning. Don’t forget the coffee.” Keith said as he got up and headed for his bedroom.
Veronica and Logan exchanged a puzzled glance. “I’ll meet you at your car Logan. Give me a few minutes here.”
“Okay.” Logan said as he rose and went out to his car to wait for her.
Meanwhile, Veronica had gone to her fathers bedroom door and knocked quietly. “Can I come in Dad?”
“Sure honey.”
Veronica opened the door and went in; her father was sitting on the bed looking at a picture album. She walked over and sat beside him on the bed. “What are you doing?”
“Remembering my little girl, Look at this one, you were about five, all blonde hair, big blue eyes, and round pink cheeks.”
“Dad, I’m still a blue eyed blonde, and I have pink cheeks they just aren’t as round, and I’m a little taller. Dad, no matter what I’m always going to be your little girl.”
“Then tell me why you couldn’t tell me that you’d been raped.”
“Dad you were already having problems with Mom and getting the business up and running. Lamb wasn’t going to take it seriously. I was scared that you would do something horrible and I’d lose you too. I couldn’t have handled that. I thought I was fine. Then when Logan and I first started seeing each other; I found out about the GHB. I finally looked into what happened. I found out what went down, I just wasn’t told the whole truth by Cassidy. I hate him for what he did, but he was hurt too, when he was a lot younger. He didn’t have someone like you. I’m going to be just fine.”
“You don’t know that Veronica.”
“Well I will soon. I go to the doctor on Monday. Logan offered to come with me for moral support. Do you want to come too?”
“I don’t want to think about the answer you could get.”
“I could beat the odds?”
“You already do. Yes I’d like to be there when you find out.”
“Dad, do you want me to stay here tonight?”
“I want my little girl to always spend the night in her bedroom. However, my daughter isn’t a little girl anymore, she’s an adult that I have to trust will make the right decisions for herself. As long as I know your safe, I’ll be able to deal with anything else.”
“Dad.”
“Fathers aren’t perfect Veronica; all we know is that we will do anything to protect the child that we love. I know Logan makes you happy. I just hope you won’t let what happened between your Mom and I affect the two of you. I stayed with your mother for my own reasons.”
“Dad she was cheating on you, you could have left her so many years ago. Why didn’t you?”
“I could have lost you. As long as I was married to your mother, you were my daughter. If I divorced her and tried for custody, the whole paternity issue would have come out. I couldn’t stand the idea of losing you. You were always mine, biological or not. Legally however, if I wasn’t your father I’d have had no chance of custody. You were worth everything to me. You still are.”
“As far as I was concerned you were always my dad. I had a paternity test done but I shredded the results because I didn’t want to find out you weren’t my father.”
“I know you and Logan have been through a lot in the past two years, seeing things and knowing things no teenagers should have to deal with. Enjoy being young Veronica, the relationship you have may not be perfect, but it could be good for the both of you.”
“And on that note I’m heading out. I’m going to be with Logan pretty much all weekend.”
“Just call in so I know you two are still alive. When do you go to the doctor’s?”
“Monday at two o’clock. I’ll drop the address off that morning at the office.” Veronica stood up and kissed the top of her fathers head. “You’ll never lose me Dad, and just so you know I would have picked you over Mom any day. You can reach me on my cell if you need me. By the way are you going to tell me how coffee with Alicia went?”
“Nobody killed each other. Are you two coming into the office tomorrow?”
“I was kind of hoping Logan and I could play hooky. We want to try and go look at the house, spend a little time at the beach.”
“And anything else you two are up to, you will leave your father in the land blissful ignorance. You know I think I’ll play hooky myself tomorrow and take a closer look at that townhouse. Check in with me sometime tomorrow?”
“You got it Dad. Talk to you later.”
“Call me when you to get to Logan’s so I know you got there safely.”
“I will, Dad I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Veronica turned and left the bedroom and made her way out to where Logan was waiting for her. Logan was leaning against Betty, with a worried look on his face.
“Did you think I wasn’t coming?”
“Not really. I thought you and your dad might need some family time. Are you staying here tonight?”
“Nope, I’m going back to my boyfriends place. He needs a little extra TLC.” Veronica said as she wrapped her arms around Logan’s waist.
“Why is that?”
“Well because once school starts, and work and homework get in the way, he isn’t going to be getting as much as he is now.”
“No more sex marathons?” Logan pouted down at her.
“Nope. We’ll need our sleep.”
“Am I getting cut off entirely?” Logan pulled away, took Veronica’s hand, and led her down toward the beach.
“Yes Logan, I’m going to deny you sex for the next four years. That reminds me. We need to make sure the rooms are soundproofed.”
“Why?” Logan asked as he sat down and pulled her down into the vee his legs made so that she could sit on front of him.
He wrapped his arms around her and they sat there staring at the surf.
Veronica snuggled into his warmth, “Because, I don’t want the rest of the house to know that much about our sex lives.”
Logan looked at her a bit puzzled, and then understanding dawned on him, “If that’s what you want.”
“You’re awfully agreeable right now.”
“I want sex. That always makes me agreeable.” When a shadow crossed in front of Veronica’s face, he paused. “What is it?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Veronica, don’t hide from me. If you want to ask me a question, ask it?”
“I don’t disappoint you do I? I know it’s shallow and petty, it’s just a part of me is sometimes insecure about sex. I mean there was Kendall and all.”
“Veronica.”
“I know you aren’t comparing me, I know that here in my head, but in my heart Logan. You said we were epic and then she’s there the next morning in your room. I know I ran away from you like I always seem to, but how could you go from epic back to her.”
“Because usually when you run from me you don’t talk to me for weeks. I’m not proud at all of myself that I called Kendall that night to cheer me up. When I opened the door, the next morning and you were there. I wanted to grab you and pull you close and then I wanted to be able to kick myself in the ass. I remembered everything I said to you and to hear you talking about the possibility of an us and that you wanted me in my life. It made me happier then I had been in a long time. I knew though, the minute you saw Kendall it would be over and when you did, it was.”
“So you did call her that night?”
“Yeah after everyone left. I used to call her my nightcap.”
“Is there going to be a repeat of that if we have another fight.”
“No, and I can tell you that for sure because one, you promised to tell me if you need space; and two, just because we have a fight I’m not assuming we’re breaking up; and three, Kendall is not someone I’m going to get involved with again. I have no desire to sleep with anyone who has slept with my father.”
“Well considering she helped get him off of murder charges, it was the least he could do.” Veronica said very sarcastically.
“Well I didn’t exactly help the case either.”
“No you didn’t. I also know you didn’t do it to help your father. You did it to give Lilly a little respect. No one needed to see her like that. That wasn’t all she was. But, wasn’t it just amazing that I was such a criminal mastermind that I could get all my ‘boyfriends’ to do what I asked?”
“The lawyer was slime.”
“I’d say he is the poster boy for why most people hate lawyers. He didn’t care if your father was guilty or innocent he only cared about getting him off.”
“It was during your testimony I realized why you asked me about Duncan, of course it wasn’t until the roof that everything was out in the open. Hey you okay?”
“Yeah, I really am. It took me some time; but I realize I can’t, and honestly, I don’t want to go back to the girl I was before Lilly died. Don’t get me wrong I wish it hadn’t taken a night of rape to grow a backbone, but I’m glad I grew it. I’m not afraid anymore of someone not liking me, and if I get dumped without a reason I’ll be in your face demanding a reason.”
“I’ll take note of that.”
“I am still scared of losing the people I love, but I’m not going to let that hold me back anymore.” Veronica sat up and turned around so that her legs were straddling Logan’s waist.
“What do you mean?” Logan asked as he reached out to caress her face.
“Sometimes how much I care about you scares me. I think if I tell you I love you, I’ve just given you carte blanche to break my heart. You know what though?”
“What?”
“I realize there is a possibility we won’t last forever. But I also now realize that whether I have minutes, months or years with you. It’s stupid to waste them being scared. Yes, you could leave me, or I could leave you, or sixty years from now you could be chasing some woman around some old folks home. And I’m going to be damned pissed that the woman you’re chasing isn’t me, if you’re gone because I was too scared to invest in us.”
“I can’t say I’m much better. I assume the people I love are going to eventually leave me too. So I usually do something I know will make them push me away.”
“I know we’re just starting over but this time it feels different. Promise me this time you won’t assume I know something and I promise to do the same.”
Veronica reached out and lightly let her fingers glide over the planes of Logan’s face. “I love you Logan. I love you so much it scares me. What are you thinking?”
“That I never thought you’d be able to say it first. I love you too Veronica. This time I’m taking better care of us.”
“Me too.” Veronica said as she pulled him toward her for a kiss.
It didn’t take long for them to be wrapped up in each others arms kissing and nuzzling one another.
“Veronica?”
“Hmmm?”
“As much as I love this, I’m getting sand in some pretty uncomfortable places.”
“So am I. To be continued at your place?”
“Absolutely, there’s a shower and a big bed with our names written all over it.” Logan stood up and brushed himself off, and reached out his hand to Veronica.
Veronica reached for his hand and let him pull her to her feet “Then what are we waiting for.”

Monday afternoon
Keith walked into the doctor’s office and saw Logan sitting there attempting to read the Hearst catalog, presumably to try and pick what classes he wanted to attend his first semester. Logan stopped fidgeting when his eyes landed on Keith.
“Hey Keith.”
“Logan, any word yet?”
“No, she’s been in there for over an hour. That’s bad right?”
“I don’t know son. I’m hoping it means that they haven’t found whatever they are looking for and Veronica is just fine.”
“Mr. Mars, Mr. Echolls, if you gentleman will follow me, Veronica would like you two to be there when she talks to the doctor.”
Keith and Logan stood and followed the receptionist into the inner office as the door closed behind them.
