Chapter 4

Logan's lips were doing pleasant things to her neck, but she wrestled up the willpower to push him away from her. "I'm pretty sure we both have class," she muttered, trying but ultimately failing to put a good amount of distance between their bodies.

"But history is the bane of my existence, and this is so much more fun," he replied, cupping her cheek and guiding his lips to meet hers.

She didn't put up more of a fight against the kiss. Because who was she kidding? She wanted it just as much as he did.

Her phone beeped, and she once again attempted to gather her senses. "This is fun, but I have to go to class."

Logan's arms tightened around her. "I don't want to let go of you."

She raised her eyebrows as she rested her hands on his chest.

"When we're apart, you'll think. And if you think, you'll decide this was a mistake. It's better for me when you don't think."

Veronica stifled that laugh that bubbled up in her throat. She knew Logan wouldn't appreciate it. "Logan, I want to be with you. I thought you believed it because you made me say it."

"I want to believe it, but we don't have a good track record."

"You mean I don't have a good track record."

Logan shook his head. "No, I meant 'we.' I'm not laying the blame solely on you. I know I've done and said stupid shit we're you're concerned."

"Not as stupid as accusing you of raping me and killing Lily."

Logan averted his eyes. "No, not as stupid as that."

"And I've never apologized to you for that either. Just like I never apologized for running when things got difficult. I try so hard to not be like my mom. I don't want to become an undependable alcoholic, but I did pick up one of her other unsavory traits. I run instead of working to make things better. I ran last year when I thought you were guilty without any solid evidence. And I ran over the summer when I saw you self-destructing. Instead of trying to help you, I did what was easiest. And for that, I'm sorry. I want to be with you, though. And I don't want to keep running. However, every now and then, you might have to remind me of that fact. Especially when you make me want to pull out my hair. Because let's be honest, you have a tendency to frustrate me like no one else."

Logan smirked. "If I didn't frustrate you, our relationship would be boring."

Veronica nodded. "Very true." She stood on her toes to kiss him again. And when they parted just enough to breathe, she whispered against his lips, "So, don't worry about me thinking. It won't change how I feel about you."

"Promise?" he asked after another chaste peck to her lips.

Instead of verbalizing her answer, she pressed her lips against his for another hard kiss.

He held her tight against his body, and she whimpered as his fingers dug into her back, but it was a feeling that she wouldn't be complaining about anytime soon.

Veronica did manage to escape Logan's evil, but oh-so-adorable, clutches to go to class, and they met up in the parking lot when the final bell rang.

She noticed Hannah's dirty look when the other blonde spotted her and Logan together, and Veronica felt a bit guilty about it.

Logan must have sensed Veronica's discomfort because he put his arm around her shoulders and tugged her close. "Ignore her. She'll get over it easy enough."

"Are you sure? I mean, you were her boyfriend, and I –"

"And you nothing. I chose to break up with her because I still loved you, and I thought it was better to be honest than keep lying to her. It would have hurt her worse if I did lie to her, and she found out the truth later on."

"I guess so," Veronica reluctantly agreed, allowing Logan's lips to touch hers.

"Meet me at the Grand?"

Veronica saw Mac grinning at her from across the parking lot and fought the rising blush at what her friend would surely say the next time they talked. "I need to check in with my dad at the office, but I'll be there in about an hour?"

He kissed her again. "See you then."

She watched him walk away to his yellow monstrosity and stomped down the happy fluttering in her stomach.

Veronica wanted to get her check-in with her dad over with as soon as possible; she had a lot of catching up to do with Logan.
