Disclaimer: I don't own Zoey 101- not like I needed to tell you that

A/N: Okay so this is my sequal to A Stolen Kiss, the gang has graduated from PCA and are at college, Miami of Ohio to be exact ( I go there so that's why I picked, cause I know the campus). If you haven read A Stolen Kiss you shouldn't be that confused, but I might reference those moments so read it, and let me know what you think. Its basically about Quinn and Logan and their relationship.

I know that a lot of you reviewed the ending to the last story eager to see Mark get what he desereved, now don't be upset but it wont appear in this chapter, but I do have a chapter where it will appear. That chapter will be good, trust me. But I wanted to move them into the future a little to accomplish where I wanted to take this.

Alright I am going to shut up now and let you read. Enjoy.

Part Two: Love and Loss make the world go round

Chapter 1

"Did you pick up the drinks?" a voice called from the kitchen, it was quickly followed by the banging of pots and pans and a loud, "Ouch!"

"Yes, I did, and did you just burn yourself?" I called from the living room where I was winding up the vaccum and putting it away.

"No," a sly voice said. I smiled that was a total lie. I left the living room and walked into the kitchen, where Quinn was nursing her right index finger.

Quinn and I had been living together for a year, ever since we graduated from PCA. We were both going to school, actually all of our friends were going to the same place, Miami of Ohio. I laughed remembering the night before graduation when I had asked Quinn to live with me.

Flashback

"It's going to be so weird," Quinn said looking up at me. We were both laying on the couch in my room. Boxes were stacked all around us, ready to be packed into the cars and taken home. I stroked her hair and looked down, "What do you mean?"

"After tomorrow we won't be students here anymore. We've been here forever and now we're leaving, going away," her eyes were sad, scared.

"Babe, we're all going to the same place. We aren't separating or anything. We're just going to a new place," I kissed her forehead, hopefully in reassurance. "Don't worry."

"But it's a new environment, new rules, more indpendance and new people. What if I get stuck with a terrible roommate?" her voice was almost a screech, as if this idea just occurred to her and scared her to death.

"Whoa, slow down. I thought you were going to love with Zoey and Lola?" I watched her face.

"I want to, but what if something happens and we cant. And I get stuck with somoen terrible who hates me and we fight all the time and I have to leave because of it," Quinn was sitting up and her eyes were wild and scared. I hated when she got that look.

"Okay settle down," she wasn't budgeing, no matter what I said she was going to continue to freak out, so I said it and I have no idea what made me say it but I did, "If you're so worried, why don't you live with me?" Quinn's eyes changed from scared to confused.

"But you're living with Michael and Chase I thought?"

I smiled, "I was but if you're so scaed why don't we get an apartment, right off campus. I bet my dad can slide them a few extra bucks so we can do it," I smirked.

"Logan Reese, are you asking me to move in with you?" I couldn't read the expression on her face, she was masking it on purpose.

I thought a minute, we had been dating for nearly a year and half now, so the next logical step seemed to be living together. Yeah, we were young but we were in love so who cared. "Yeah, I guess I am."

Our of nowhere she launched herself at me, hugging me so hard I could hardly breathe. She was kissing me all over, excited as I have ever seen her. I laughed, "Okay, I'll take that as a yes."

"Yes, yes, that would be great!" she smiled and sat in my lap. "Zoey and Lola will love not having to deal with me."

"Hey, don't be mean," I said I hated when she put herself down, "You guys were great roommates!'

"I know we were, but I know too that I annoyed them, sometimes even scared them a little," Suddenly she turned to look at me, a worried look in her eyes. "I promise I wont annoy or scare you, or at least I'll try really hard."

I wrapped my arms around her waist, "You couldn't if you tried," I kissed her cheek, and slowly made my way to her lips. I smiled inwardly, I hadn't thought about this but nothing could make my college experience better then living with one person I loved most.

End Flashback

"Why are you freaking out?" I asked her, taking her finger and kissing it.

"Because I have to finish the chicken and still mop the floors." She turned away from me and started stirring and mixing again.

I grabbed her hands ,removed the spoons and spun her so she was facing me. "Why do you do this every time they come over?" I asked her gently. It was the same thing every time we had anyone over, but expecially with Lola, Michael, Chase and Zoey. For some reason Quinn saw the need to clean everything so it was spotless, straighten everything and just make everything perfect. As if she was trying to impress them or something.

"What do you mean?" she said, her eyes darting to her bubbling sauce.

I sighed, grabbed the spoon, mixed the sauce once and turned down the heat. Now it wouldn't burn and she would pay attention to me. "Every time we have Chase, Zoey, Lola and Michael over for anything dinner, drinks, a quick chat, you go into hyper perfection mode. Why?" I asked, lowering her hands. "Why do you try so hard to impress them? They're our best friends, you don't have to impress them."

"But that's why," Quinn cried, pulling her hands from me and going over to sit at the kitchen table.

I was confused, "What?" I walked over to the table and sat across form her.

She sighed and watched me. Her eyes held concern, as if she ws afraid to say what was on her mind. I gave her an eyebrow raise and she continued. "I feel…" she paused struggling to find her words. "I feel like I have to impress them because none of this is mine," she said.

"What?" I asked again. This was our apartment, with our furniture, and our decorations. How could she think none of it was hers?

"What I mean is I didn't earn it, it was handed to me. Now I am not complaining, I love living with you and I love this house. But I feel that when they're here they just see what the money bought us and not what we've made this," she said, spreading her arms around to encompass the house.

I sighed, now I got it. She never was comfortable with the whole being over rich thing. She liked working for what she had, which I understood, sort of. "And what have me made this?' I said spreading my arms out too.

"A home, this is our home. And they com here, I want them to see how we've taken care of it and made it something more then a by product of your dads money," her eyes never left mine.

I laughed, "Bade, stop worrying. You don't have to make this place shining to show its our home. Our friends don't care and they certainly don't judge," I stood up and went behind her chair wrapping my arms around her neck and whispering in her ear. "If they did, they would never still be friends with me."

She laughed, "I guess you're right,"

"I know I am and now since we're done pretending to be this perfect pair, let's have some fun before they get here," I lifted her up and spun her around.

"No, wait," she squealed. I looked at her with a stern glare.

"I will not, they won't be here for twenty minutes," I walked, toward the living room. "And dinner is fine, it'll be a least half an hour before you have to touch it again, so don't give me that excuse."
Quinn just giggled resting her head on my shoulder. "Well, it looks like I don't have a choice,"

"NO, you really don't. " I laughed, placing her on the couch and crawling on top, kissing her deeply. She moaned against the kiss, letting her hands travel to my hair, I grinned, nothing made my day better tehn making out with my love on the couch.

Ten minutes later, we heard a knock on the door and then the sound of the door opening and slamming shut. Even though both of us heard it, neither of us pulled away, until a voice said, "You know oxygen is kind of essiential for living, so will you two please breath?"

I grinned, finally pulling my lips from hers. "Hey, guys," we both said in unison, as our four best friends walked into the living room

A/N: so there is chapter one, I know not much but trust me it will get good, I have a ton of idea of what to do, its just a matter of organizing them a little.
