❤ Prologue ❤
If my sixteen-year-old-self saw me now, she would have screamed. She would have went into full Rory Gilmore rant mode to say anything to kill time so that this blood-draining moment could never pass, and the pure horror that threatened to follow would cease to come into existence. Yet here I was, feeling only the slightest bit queasy and quite far from throwing up all over my elaborate attire.
Without a doubt, my insanely mellow mindset was due to the man standing beside me. I glanced over at his attire that matched mine, smiling to myself at how handsome he looked. Then, I caught myself and gave my conscious a vehement scolding for such ridiculous thoughts when I was literally standing inches away from death.
Taking a deep breath, I looked up one more time, this time directly into his eyes, searching for confirmation that I hadn't gone insane for not protesting to what was to come. In his warm, familiar eyes, I found what I was looking for and more.
"Are you ready?" He gave a boyish grin so big that the shadow from his light lashes touched his cheeks. Concealed behind the smile I was so familiar with was the tiniest hint of nerves. "Do you trust me?" he added, his eyes twinkling under the fervent sun.
You jump, I jump, Jack, I thought.
Instinctively, I got on my tippy toes and leaned into his chest until my lips were flush with his. He pulled me into his body, slowly closing the distance between us as his hand lightly cradled my cheek. I didn't think I could ever get a hold of the way he kissed me. With passion and life.
I didn't know what was going to happen in the next minute, but one thing I did know of.
This was our start. This was when it all becomes real.
We had a whole future ahead of us, waiting for us to unveil the surprises at each and every turn. Together.
Thanks for reading and please leave a review. I would love to hear your feedback!
I'm a big Rory and Logan fan and wanted to share this story of Rory's life post-graduation.
