ROGAN Centric, they will be happy, though this isn't a future fic, it will be an AU piece. Flashbacks are in ITALICS

Summary: Rory Hayden grew up in Hartford society, but was still raised in Stars Hollow by Lorelai and Christopher, who got married when Rory was born. Rory attends Chilton with her best friends; Logan Huntzberger, Colin McCrae, Finn Morgan and Stephanie Vanderbilt. Rory and Logan are keeping a secret from the rest of the group. They are just about to start their senior year and they couldn't be more exicted.

It was a typical Friday night for the Gilmore, Hayden, Huntzberger, McCrae, Morgan and Vanderbilt clan. Ever since Rory could remember, her family as well as those of her best friends had a Friday night dinner party, alternating between the different families houses. They were always the same, grandparents, parents and children were altogether during dinner to discuss the week, then the adults would let the kids go and do what they pleased in the nearest pool house, within reason or so they believed.

This weeks dinner was at the elaborate Huntzberger mansion, dinner had just finished, so the kids were all heading out to the pool house, the boys would play video games while the girls watched and gossiped and talked fashion. Just as Rory was about to head out the door she heard Logan yell back to her for some help with something.

She followed his voice back to his room "What did you nee-" she didn't finish her sentence as she walked in to see him laying on his bed, doing nothing "Well, don't you look relaxed, the others are waiting for us in the pool house, or are you fine taking a nap up here?" she said slightly amused. Logan started movie towards her "Yes, they are waiting for us, but I think they can wait a little longer. So I can enjoy some alone time with my girlfriend." He said this while coming closer and closer to Rory, until he was close enough to pull her in for a kiss, it started gentle and sweet, but moved quickly into hard and passionate. When they finally broke apart for air Logan whispered in Rory's ear "I've been waiting all night to do that Ace, and you look absolutley gorgeous tonight, as always." Rory was still breathless after the heart stopping kiss with Logan and the way she felt his breath along her ear as he was breathing there, and planting kisses along her jaw. "I wish we could tell everybody about our relationship, because it kills me that I can't kiss you like this in public" Logan sighed as he continued his asault of kisses down Rory's neck. "I know, I know. But just because you can't kiss me in public doesn't mean it stops you from doing anything else in public, like at the table not 20 minutes ago." she rolled her eyes at him. "Why I have no idea what you are talking about, Ace." he retorted "Oh really, so that wasn't your hand running up and down my thigh all throughout dinner then? I knew that Finn always wanted me, I have to go and tell him I love him." she joked back, while pretending to run from Logan's arms. He tighened his grip on her waist. "So not funny Ace." "Logan, you know I love you more than Finn. Most of the time." "No joking about love Ace." "I love you Logan, no joking. You know I do." "I love you too, Rory" Logan responded looking deep into her Bambi eyes.

What everyone downstairs and in the pool house didn't know was that Rory and Logan had been secretly dating for the past 8 months. They had to keep it a secret because, despite the tight relationship between the Gilmore-Haydens and the Huntzbergers, Mitchum and Shira Huntzberger didn't think that the Gilmore-Haydens were as prestigious as they were and didn't understand why Lorelai and Christopher, wanted to raise their daughter in a small house in a small town, instead of a mansion in an expensive area. The rest of the families understood why they wanted to get away from society life and agreed with the Gilmore-Hayden's decision to raise Rory differently.

It was only recently that both Rory and Logan were getting annoyed at not been able to take their relationship public. Rory was sick of girls hitting on Logan in front of her because he was the 'single' Huntzerger heir, and Logan was sick of guys hitting on Rory because she was a 'fine piece of ass' as one of the guys had described her. They wanted to be able to express their love for each other all the time not with stolen kisses when no one was around. When Logan had asked Rory out, they both thought it would be easy to keep it on the down low from their friends and family. Logan had been a real night in shining armour that night, actually he always was, he always cared for her.

FLASHBACK
Rory and Logan, had been arguing a lot lately, because they were both extremely jealous of each other dates at society functions and parties they attended. A large cocktail party was planned by Rory's Gilmore grandparents for the upcoming Saturday night, and Logan and Rory had their biggest fight the Saturday night before and hadn't spoken to each other all week, they were both forced to attend this party by their parents, despite their desperate pleas to stay home. Rory already had a date for the night, so she didn't have to bother going to the party with her parents, making it easier to leave early. His name was Dean Forester and he was from Stars Hollow, he had asked her out multiple times and she finally decided to say yes, as she knew that Logan already had a bimbo as a date.

Saturday rolled around, Rory was dressed in a stunning midnight blue floor length Vera Wang dress that was tight at the top and flowed down from her waist, but then had a slit up the side to show off her legs, she paired the dress with a pair of simple dark blue Lou Boutins, a Tiffany and Co. Braclet and Necklace from her parents and a pair of diamond drop earrings from Logan, that were a Huntzberger family heirloom. Dean picked her up and told her she looked hot, she shrugged it off and got into his car and they were off, she was always used to Logan telling her she was beautiful, not even just Logan, it was Colin and Finn as well. They arrived at her grandparents and walked into the party after the maid took their jackets. They walked into the party, by instinct the first thing Rory did was look for Logan, she saw him in the corner with a trampy blonde hanging off him, Logan however did not look interested in whatever she was saying, as his eyes were on her.

Rory, made the rounds to her grandparents, and the many other important families that were attending the party, all the while Dean followed looking bored and Logan's eyes were following her as she made her way around the room, avoiding the area in which he was standing in. When Rory had finally said hello to everyone she noticed that Dean was no longer behind her, she searched around the room and saw him the corner on his phone, texting someone, she walked over to him

"I'm so sorry that took so long, but you have my attention for the rest of the night now." "Look Rory, if I knew that going on a date with you would be this boring, I never would of asked." "I'm sorry, but I have to do those things otherwise I'd be rude, but I'm here now." "You don't understand, I am leaving because, this is not my kind of life." "No, you don't understand, you knew that this was a society function when I asked you to come with me." Rory was trying not make a scence but Dean was getting on her nerves, it was so rude to walk off on her and now he was going to leave her here. "I understand perfectly that you are some society princess, who doesn't care for us poor people."

Dean was way out of line, she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out the front of her grandparents house, all the while Logan was watching, he excused himself from his current conversation, so he could go out the front and make sure Rory was safe as she seemed to be arguing with her date. "Dean, I would not be here with you, if I didn't care for you poor people as you put it. I was looking forward to a nice night to get to know you and now you are disrespecting me and my family and friends." "Whatever Rory, you are a society brat and you know it, you and all of your 'prestigious' friends, who go to your fancy school are all spoilt brats, and you only said yes to me, because you have already burned through all the society boys, with your slutty ways. You are nothing but a whore." Rory was hurt by his comments and was trying not to break down in tears, she had already had a horrible week, as she wasn't talking to her best friend, who she was in love with and now some guy was telling her she was a slut and a whore, she was going to break down soon. "Okay Dean if that's what you think, then you can go." Rory said calmly. "There she is ladies and gentlemen, the perfect, sweet Rory Gilmore-Hayden." "Dean don't, just leave." Rory turned to go back inside, but Dean grabbed her wrist "Ouch, you're hurting me Dean, let go" "Now Rory, you shouldn't just tell someone to leave, how would society look at you?" His grip went tighter around her wrist, that was when Logan knew he had to step in.

Rory had her eyes tightly closed and tears were starting to slip,she heard foot steps and thought that Dean was gone, but she could still feel his grip around her wrist. It was then she heard the voice of her own knight in shining armour. Logan. "Rory, is everything okay out here?" "Logan, help" Rory managed to get out without showing how vulnerable she was at the moment. "Rory, who's this? One of your conquests I suppose" Dean was just being a grade A ass right now. "Okay, man I think it would be best if you leave her alone, before I punch you in the face." "I'm not going anywhere until she tells me to. "I believe she already did." "DEAN, LEAVE" Rory yelled with all the strength she had left. Dean roughly let go of Rory's wrist and pushed her to the ground and left. Rory finally let all the tears fall, her tears for her horrible night, but mostly her tears for her fight with Logan "Rory, it will be okay." "How do you know that Logan?" Rory sobbed out, her hands were bleeding from where she tried to stop her fall, and she was a mess. Logan needed to get her inside to clean her up, without anyone seeing. "Ace, I have to get you inside, can you stand?" "Logan, I don't want to go inside, then I have to watch you with your date, and feel my heart break bit by bit, and I can't do that anymore, because it hurts Logan, it hurts." "What are you talking about Rory?" "Are you really that stupid, Logan?" "Apparently I am, what is it Ror?" "I love you Logan, and you don't even see it." They were the words that Logan had been waiting to hear Rory say to him for his whole life, was this a dream? "Are you serious?" "Yes, I'm serious, I love you, and because I'm not a blonde bimbo, you never notice me." "I love you too, Ace." "Logan you're just saying that because my date was a jerk." "No I'm not Rory, I love you and I can't remember a time I wasn't loving you, I followed you out here because I was jealous and wanted to make sure you were okay. And I'm so sorry for our argument last week, I was being a hypocrite because I was jealous" "Logan, do you really love me?" "Yes, I Logan Elias Huntzberger, love you Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden. Always have and probably always will. This past week has been hell for me, watching you talk to everyone but me, not seeing your beautiful smile and hearing your laugh, has been horrible." Logan reached his hand under Rory's chin so she was looking at him and slowly and gently, his lips met hers and it was like fireworks went off, their mouths fit perfectly together. They pulled away for air and looked into each others eyes, Rory broke the silence first "What does this mean Logan, you know we can't date, your parents won't allow it, they think my family is beneath yours and we aren't the same, this would not work to them." "I don't care what they say. I love you and that's all that matters." "Logan it's not that easy and you know it." "I can't lose you, I just got you, I'm not letting go. Ever." They both sat in silence for a while thinking, until Rory said "we could date secretly, I mean it could work, because I don't want to lose you either." "Then we do it, we date secretly, until my parents can't control me anymore, so how about it Ace, will you be my girlfriend?" "Yes, I think I can do that." Rory jumped up into his arms and they kissed again. "As much as I'd like to continue this, and I would love to. We should probably get inside before everyone thinks we died." "I love you Logan Huntzberger." Rory said with a smile. "I love you Ace." They kissed once more, then snuck back inside

END FLASHBACK

That was almost 9 months ago, and no one had figured out that Rory and Logan were dating, even their closest friends hadn't. They must have been really good at hiding their affection. "Okay, Ace we have to leave my comfy room and join the others, but you should definetly ask your parents if you can stay over tonight, Mum and Dad are going to the Vineyard tonight, and I would love some alone time with my girl." Rory loved it when Logan called her, his girl, it made her heart skip a beat "I'm sure they'll say yes, I've slept over hundreds of times. You go out to the pool house and I'll ask."

Logan went into the pool house and Rory went to the parlour to talk to her parents. "Mum, is it okay if I stay over here tonight, Logan and I are doing a project together?" Lorelai looked at Christopher and he nodded his approval. "Yeah, that's fine babe as long as you have stuff here." "I always have stuff here mum. Thanks. I'll call you tomorrow when I want you to pick me up, Love you."

Rory was skipping happily to the pool house, when she walked in she caught Logan's eye and nodded to him so he knew tonight was set. They spent the rest of the time with their friends playing video games, one by one the other 3 left, then the Huntzberger's told us they were leaving, it was only them left so they made their way back to Logan's room for the night.
