Chapter 3: Ace, Tons of coffee and early morning Shower Walk ins
The first day back to school was full of surprises. Rory didn't really expect it she knew that their would be changes, that's what high school was. But she didn't expect for a new guy to come in and just shock her like that. When Mike told her she would have to help him she didn't expect that he would be in all her classes. He could drive her mad at some point he was extremely cocky and he was full of himself. When they had gotten to the newspaper she expected him to feel lost but he took right over saying his name making sure everyone knew it. The girls swooned at him especially in the hallway yet the drooling of the guys made it a bit better.
"Rory we need you to proof read this article on the destruction of peoples homes for parking lots." Said Abby pulling Rory from her thoughts
"Okay um put it on my desk and I'll get to it" Rory was the editor in chief of the Franklin. It was great for her finally being in control she loved it but she loved writing better. Before she knew it she was swarmed with people all talking at once it was getting crazy.
"HEY! One person at a time! "
Crickets
"Sorry just to many people talking at once"
"OK Rory this needs to be edited and someone needs to take these to printing" Mandy said thrusting a folder full of papers for the new editions into her hands
"Ok well just take to CJ and have him proof read the articles. Then have Alex and Tracey take these to the office. Okay, good, break!" Rory said ordering everyone to do as she said
"God where's Paris when you need her!" Rory muttered talking to herself
"Well maybe she though you were fine without her I mean the way you just handled them all talking to you at once was marvelous." Logan said sneaking up on Rory
"Oh god! Don't do that!"
"Oh note to self she's jumpy" Logan said with that annoying smirk he's been giving her all day
"No! not jumpy you sneaked up on me!" Rory said upset that he though he could get her
" oh and defensive" Logan quipped back
"ugh shut up your so annoying"
"ace I'm crushed" Logan said faking being hurt " I usually get amazing what can I do to change your mind? Money?, Chocolate? Oh I got it a massage!"
"ugh! Your head is so big. And I can't believe you think you can buy my affection I'm not like those bottle blondes that you see around here. If you haven't noticed I'm a brunette." Rory said back
"Wow."
"What?" Rory said turning around expecting him to have a come back. When she turned around he was standing their staring at her. He seemed a little hurt and noticed that he was looking at her with a weird expression "What?" Rory asked again
"Nothing Ace, don't worry I'll win your affection. I'll see you at your car after this"
"Ace?. Wait what about my affecti- what my car! How do you know what my car looks like!"
"Don't worry your pretty little head about it. see you later ace"
"Stop calling me that!"
it was too late she was standing there looking like an idiot for fighting the THE Logan Huntzberger. But she couldn't help it he was so infuriating yet that's what made her so attracted to him. She had to stop this he wasn't her time he'd only be interested in bed buddies.
"Stop it Rory you don't like him. He's a playboy"
"What was that?" Paris asked walking in for the first time
"Where have you been you left me here by myself to deal with a pile of work"
"Chill Rory I was uh talking to Mr. Hanford about the uh assignment"
"Assignment we didn't have an assignment he gave us the first day off slip"
" well I um asked for some work to keep me busy" Paris said keeping her head down.
"Okay freak"
"Well since your late you can deal with the kiddies I have to get home family dinner especially with our new roommate"
"Wait! No don't leave me with them!"
" Paris you'll be fine they've been walked , few and I added water to their bowls so they'll be fine you can handle it Paris."
"Fine but you'll pay!"
"Bye Paris"
Rory walked out the doors in full though mood she barely heard the Wolf whistle from a distant boy. Rory turned her head again to see who it was. Unfortunately for her it was her ex boyfriend. Obviously approving of her outfit. Jason McNamara was Chilton's IT boy he was the typical football playing ladies man guy. Rory had had a crush on him since she first came to Chilton. They dated in the middle of her second year when at a end of the year party that they went to together she was hanging with Finn and Collin and Steph and Rose. When she was looking for the bathroom she ended up finding a bedroom. It was dark but the blonde head of hair told her it was him. When he turned and saw her standing there he just smirked an said "Sorry Ror but she has everything that I want" Rory ran out down the stairs and pass Collin, Finn, Steph and Rose. The trailed behind her as she broke into tears.
"Rory? I see you've been well"
" I've been fine Jason. Bye Jason"
"Wait not so fast" Jason said as he trailed behind Rory as she walked towards her. She didn't get far to be stopped outside across the car street from the school to the school parking Lot she could see her car it was safety away from Jason.
"What? What do you want from me!"
" I just want to talk to you"
"Jason when you say talking you mean without words. This is just another chance for you to try to get in my pants!"
"What if it is. You love me Rory you can't let me go why don't we just go fool around behind the school you know you want to"
"Ugh! Get bent!"
"Rory you know you love me!" Jason said pushing her up against the wall roughly kissing her pressing her arms up and holding on tight so she couldn't be free. Rory tried to call for help but her cries were cut off by his lips on hers when he moved down to her neck she tried to plead with him.
"Jason stop you don't want to do this"
"I want you Rory and if I can't have you no one else can"
"Jason get off me don't be crazy!" Rory tried again to get him off her. Before Rory could try again Logan came out of no where and pulled Jason off her. It shocked Rory that Logan had helped her but it shocked her more that the look in his chocolate brown eyes were of fury. Almost like he was saying how dare you touch my girlfriend. Rory shook her head trying to not think about it. Before she knew it Logan punched Jason in the face Jason as strong as everyone though he was down in a instant. Suddenly Logan was dragging her towards her car.
"Ace are you okay?"
"I don't know. I'm just shaken" Rory quickly surveyed herself checking to make sure she wasn't bleeding or broken. She looked down at her wrist seeing a light purplish bruise forming. "I'll be fine I just need to get home"
"Are you sure? What was up with him? What was he saying to you?"
"I don't want to talk about it lets just get to the house"
"Fine"
"Oh do me a favor please don't tell Mike he'll go ballistic if he finds out Jason tried to rape me he'll punch him many more times than you did and ten times harder "
"I won't"
"Thanks"
"No worries. I have my car so I'll just follow behind you. We should leave he'll get up eventually and he'll come looking for you"
"You're right let's go"
The drive there was quiet. Rory tried to calm down and listen to music but she couldn't get the disgusting feeling of Jason's slobber on her neck. She kept rubbing it off like it was still there but the feeling went away. Jason was capable of a lot of things but it surprised her that he was so close to raping her. Rory looked in the rear view mirror and could see Logan's car following her. It was nice that he helped her. He was like a super hero. He saved her life and god that smirk it was so hot it made her knees weaken. The ride took 10 minutes before she got home. The house was empty Mike had baseball practice Mom was still at the Inn and Luke was away to see his sister and her daughter meant Rory and Logan alone together oh god.
As Rory and Logan walked through the doors you could tell that he was surprised by the different colors that were in the house how exocentric it was and all the weird object that floated around the room just showed that the outside was plan while the inside was like a coloring book exploded with color. It was home to Rory while it was new to Logan
"Hey want to see your room?"
"Sure I have my stuff in the car I'll be right back"
"OK"
RING
"Fruit of loin! How are thou"
"Thou are stressed! It's been a long first day!"
"Wana tell mama all about it?"
"Well I have to tell you my outfit had all the guys drooling so bad they needed to carry buckets around. So check one for the outfit. But mikes friend is annoying! He is so conceited and has this annoyingly cocky smile that I want to wipe off his face. He's in the newspaper with me and he calls me Ace! Like what the hell do I look like one of those queens on the card or something!. Then to top it off Paris was late for the Franklin which left the hour of people bombarding me with questions that about the paper and where this and that goes then finally Paris came and I could get out of there only to be met by Jason. Mom you need to brace yourself for this last part"
"Honey go on"
"OK but just breathe okay?"
"Rory clocks ticking"
"Ok so I'm walking towards my car and I hear a whistle it was Jason he followed me then talked some crap that I wanted him and that he wanted me too. He then tried to kiss me and then he pushed me up against the wall and started kissing me all over. I tried to get him to let go but he wouldn't he grabbed my wrist and made sure that I couldn't get lose. Luckily Logan came and saved me initially punching Jason in the face then we made it safely home. I'm fine but I'm going to have a really bad bruise tomorrow. Still breathing mom?"
"Yeah Hun I'm just thinking of the many ways I can kill Jason for touching you! How does a really rusty old pair of big scissors to chop his body into pieces"
"Sounds gruesome mom. Look it'll be fine I know I have to tell mike sooner or later ad there's going to be enough people killing him if Mike knows"
"If Mike knows what" said a new voice that just so happens to belong to Mike with Logan trailing behind.
"Shit mom, Mike just walked in I gotta do damage control"
"Bye sweets tell me how it goes oh and you never told me if he's hot!"
"Mom they can hear you your on speaker!"
"Opps uhhh Daisy Duke! BYE!" Lorelei screamed randomly before she hung up the phone shaking her head at her mothers antics she was crazy but she was a Gilmore and the Gilmore charm always worked.
"Two questions. Why did mom scream Daisy Duke? And tell mike what? "
"Mom is random you really have to ask"
"True Mom is Mom. We came from her I wonder why we aren't like that."
"We you are exactly like her starting with the blue eyes and dark brunette hair and skinny body all the way to the coffee addiction and excessive knowledge of Pop Culture. You guys are basically twins!"
"Hey I'm not completely like her I haven't gotten drunk yet and danced on a bar doing the coyote ugly bar dance pouring water on myself!"
"True but you did get drunk of the founders day punch last year and started singing it's a good ship lollipop to a coat rack!"
"Ok Fine I'm like mom but it takes year of practice to annoy Luke enough to give us free coffee"
"Luke's our step dad he's going to give us free coffee anyways"
"Well at least I can pull off the bambi eyes and get what I want"
"That is true it's worked on me countless times. I don't know how those big blue eyes get me every time but they do then I feel defeated afterwards"
"It's the Girl Gilmore charm"
"It's been a long day I'm going to take a shower. What do you want to order for dinner moms going to be late? "
"Chinese food?'
"Oh oh yeah! I want house fried rice and Scakes with fried chicken and orange soda please"
"Alright I'll call now"
"Kay oh Mike shows Logan his room please! I feel gross"
"Aright"
Logan stood there watching the two siblings compare Rory to their mother. It was funny to see their nice bickering they were different than any other siblings. This is why Logan wasn't going to be the one to break the news about Jason. Mike showed Logan his guest room. Logan's room was across from Rory's he enjoyed that because then he could talk to her more. There was something about this girl that intrigued him. She had come backs so fast it would give you whiplash her use of pop culture was great and she was amazingly beautiful and her blue eyes made it so much easier to read her. Rory wasn't the kind of girl he usually went for but who knows why not be open to change right? He'd give her a chance who knows they could end up in a relationship.
When Logan had finally settled in he was heading back to his room when he took a walk that he opened the door to the bathroom instead. What Logan saw was of pleasure ,joy and shock on the other side of the door was a completely naked Rory coming out of the shower soaked. Logan stood there checking out her body for a moment Rory was to shocked to say anything when she finally came to her senses she covered up.
"GET OUT!" Rory screamed
"Oh God! Sorry" Logan said as he turned around and walked into his room thinking of how she looked it was going to be stuck in his head..
Logan could hear Rory's footsteps retreating to her room bedroom he knew he would have to head back down for the food. It was going to be uncomfortable and Rory would be giving him evil stares through the entire thing. Logan couldn't get the way her hips were fitted perfectly into her body frame her chest was smooth and her stomach was so flat her shoulders were covered in wet clear droplets of water and her hair was matted down without make up she still looked beautiful,
10 minutes later Logan heard the doorbell ring guessing the food was here he would have to face the music. God for the first day of school there sure was a lot of drama and Rory still had to tell Mike about Jason. This quirky girl was so attractive he didn't know if he could handle it. He hated seeing her hurt especially when Jason had her up against the wall. When he punched him he wanted to keep punching him. He had his hands all over her and it just fired up a rage that was driving him mad as he replayed it in his head. He just wanted to beat that guy into a bloody pulp. Logan suddenly realized the protection he had for her it was crazy that he could have these feelings for a girl that he only met today. Before he could think further Mike called his name
"COMING!" Logan responded
Logan walked down stairs knowing this was going to get weird god he hoped they didn't have to tell mike. Logan remembered when they were kids and Logan talked about how cute Rory was he flipped out telling her to stay away from his sister. Logan knew that if Mike found out about the shower slip up he would end up with a black eye, Logan walked in on a conversation with Rory and Mike.
"Can we do a movie night? "
"I guess do we have enough snacks. I think were out"
"No were not mom and I keep a stash so we can have it for non planned movie nights"
"Smart"
"I know us Gilmores and our smarts"
"Huh Gilmores and smarts I don't see it" Logan muttered
Rory blushed remembering what had just happened
"Uh I need coffee!" Rory exclaimed
"Fresh pot"
"So what were you two doing up there. You weren't hitting on my sister were you" Mike said smacking the side of Logan's arm. Logan flinched at the double meaning. He could be talking bout the bruises forming on her wrist that mike still hadn't noticed was there. Jeez mike was kind of clueless sometimes. Or the fact that Logan had just seen Rory completely naked.
As Rory reached for the coffee pot Mike was reaching for the top cabinet he seemed to look down and notice Rory's wrist.
"Rory what's with your wrist?"
"Uh nothing"
"No there's something their let me see it"
"No I'm fine" Rory said pulling away from him
"Rory what are you hiding from me?" Mike asked sounding madder as she kept resisting.
"Rory show me your wrist!"
"No nothings wrong with my wrist"
"Then why are you hiding it from me!" Mike had had enough he pulled her arms out and stared holding on tightly but not enough to hurt her. Logan took this as his time to step in.
"Mike calm down." Mikes face looked pissed he wasn't going to calm down now
"Did you do this?" Mike asked turning to Logan "is that why she's so uncomfortable around you. Did you hurt her? Are there ant more bruises I'd find on her body!" Mikes face was bright red.
"NO! Dude no! I would never do that to her! No way!" Logan said shocked that mike would think he did it
"Mike it wasn't Logan it was someone else"
"WHO!" mike said a surge or rage coming through him
"Jason" Rory said in a tiny voice
"Who?"
"Jason" said Logan for her he knew she was to scared to tell Mike herself
Rory looked up a flicker of anger then relief and graduated that she didn't have to say it again. But that soon changed back to fear when Mike punched a hole I the wall.
"Jason did this to you! I'm going to kill him!"
"No mike don't you'll get arrested! I don't want to think about it today can we just have a movie night and relax moms already on the list of people who wants to kill him. "
"Fine but tomorrow I'm beating the shit out of him."
"So will Collin, Finn, Rose and especially Steph she'll have her 6 inch heels to shove up his ass."
"Don't forget me I'm totally in on kicking his ass!" Logan looked at Rory and could see a expression that he couldn't tell what it was but their was one saying thanks.
The night went on with the group watching Casablanca and Sixteen Candles. Rory soon feel asleep on Logan's lap spread out on Mikes. He was stroking her hair protectively. Logan could tell he was still pissed about her bruises that seemed to get worse within every hour. After Mike called Rory's friends and told them about what happened they all went to sleep. Logan was anxious to do some more damage to that creep. He just hoped Rory was ok. Before Logan went to sleep he saw Rory's room door cracked he peeked in side checking on her. She looked peaceful but their was slight tension in her face it got worse until her face was completely crumpled she seemed to be in pain. She unconsciously touched her wrist then flinched and slipped back into a deeper sleep. It hurt Logan to see her like that. He felt over protected but very concerned if she was hurt he was almost possessive of her. It was a weird feeling for him Logan couldn't tell if he liked it or if he was scared…
