Logan walked around the campus aimlessly. Until a brunette girl carrying papers bumped into him. She nearly fell over from the impact of running into him. However his arms quickly caught her and braced her body against his. A deep blush appeared on her face as she took a step back. He couldn't help but smirk at her reaction
"I'm sorry; I wasn't paying attention are you okay? I hope I didn't spill any coffee on you." The girl began apologetically.
"Hey don't apologize I enjoy when beautiful girls run into me. In fact I believe I placed myself in your path just so you would bump into me and we could have this conversation. So perhaps I should be the one apologizing by say buying you another cup of coffee since yours appears to be nearly empty." Logan said with a charming smile.
"I have one condition." She said
"What's the condition?" Logan asked promptly. He had to admit that he was intrigued by her fragile appearance and shy nature. However he had a feeling that there was more here than met the eye.
"Well I have to put these posters up so if you plan on enjoying my company while we drink coffee we'll have to walk, talk, drink, and hang at the same time." She answered with a smile.
"Yes I had hoped to be there as you consumed my apology. I'll agree if…. you tell me your name." Logan added with a smirk.
"Rory." She said shortly.
"Well Rory I'm Logan and I believe the closest coffee cart is this way." Logan replied and then placed his hand on the small of Rory's back and began to lead her towards their destination.
"Why thank you sir. I do believe your right." Rory responded.
"No need to state the obvious, I'm always right." Logan said with a smirk.
"And also conceded I see. Both are disgusting qualities. I've known you for less then ten minutes and so far all of your characteristics are negative. What does that say about you?" Rory said and although her tone portrayed her as serious her smile confirmed the joke.
"I think it says that appearances aren't always as they seem and that you should look a little deeper before you pass a judgment." Logan said. The reached the coffee cart and proceeded to get into the rather short line. "So what's your poison?" Logan asked before Rory could respond to his statement.
"Blasphemy! The elixir of life would never harm me as poison would. You should be locked away in a dungeon for even suggesting such a horrible thing! If I was in my right or left mind I would leave now. However since I don't have my coffee yet I'll let you get away with a stern warning and order a bigger coffee as punishment." Rory replied in a shocked and stern voice.
"WOW that was incredibly passionate speech that you just delivered. I must complement you on your ability to say all that in one breathe perhaps you would give me some lessons. I also must thank you for allowing me this one penance. The dungeon sounds like a boar. I again must apologize and suggest that you order two large cups of coffee for the emotional damage my statement caused. I just hope you don't sue me for the therapy you'll need." Logan said indulging her outburst. "We'll have three large coffees and two chocolate doughnuts please" Logan told the cashier
"14 dollars please." The cashier told Logan. Logan handed the man the money and received his order. He handed one coffee and a muffin too Rory and began too walk towards a poster board. Rory walked briskly to catch up to him.
"Logan what are you doing?" Rory asked once she reached him
"I figured you knew I'm walking, talking, drinking, (he took a drink of his coffee and grabbed one of her posters) and hanging at the same time." He said as he placed a poster of…wait who was that. "Why are we putting up pictures of Professor Asher Fleming? Is there something you wanted to tell me? Were you and he…" Logan makes a suggestive gesture.
"What? NO! However my roommate was and she is a bit umm eccentric. She asked me to hang these because she wants to hold a wake for him in our dorm." Rory said with a disgusted look.
"Just making sure" Logan said with a smirk.
"Stop trying to distract me I want my second coffee please." Rory said with her Bambi eyes.
"What have you finished so soon?" Logan asked he would be genuinely shocked if she had but after the speech she gave only a minute ago he could see her doing just that.
"Yes thank you I am finished" She said and as if to make her point clear she turned her cup upside down. Then grabbed the cup of coffee from his hand.
"I would have handed it to you had you asked." Logan said with a smile. (Yes I said smile not smirk)
Rory and Logan walked around campus exchanging witty marks and hanging flyers for around an hour, until they were out of flyers.
"Last one Logan said as he pushed the tack through the last of their flyers.
"Yes it is. While I've enjoyed this last hour and a half I should probably get back to my grieving roommate. She tends to be dangerous when she's emotional." Rory said politely.
"Well if you must. Come on I'll walk you too your dorm." Logan said gently.
"You don't know where I live so I think it's more of an I'll walk you to my dorm thing." Rory said.
"Ahh but you forget that I've been hanging pictures with your address on them for an hour and am not stupid. So actually I do know where you live." Logan replied glad to have gotten the best out of Rory.
"I stand corrected." Rory added
"Just make sure you have your facts right next time you go correcting me." Logan said rather full of himself.
They continued there witty banter until they reached Rory's door.
"Thank you for walking me to my room and for the coffee and help. It was much appreciated. The company wasn't too bad either." Rory smiled at him as she thanked him.
"The company was the best I've had in nearly a year. I hope you enjoy these times of peace because now that you've meet me your life is about to get very interesting and colorful." Logan replied.
"Who said my life wasn't interesting and colorful. Believe me it wasn't I."
"Well then it'll be more interesting." He said as he began to lean in towards Rory's lips when the door to her room flew open and a blond girl wearing all black flew out she launched herself into Rory's arms as a single tear fell down her face. Rory looked surprised for a second and then mouthed that he should probably go. Logan smiled brushed a kiss on her cheek and left glancing back to look at the most interesting and beautiful girl he had ever met in his life.
