A/N: I'm back!! It feels really good to be writing again. What can I say life got busy! I hope you enjoy the update. I own nothing!
Rory awoke to an empty bed.
"Logan?"
No answer. Did he go back to London? she thought as she began to panic slightly. Rory picked up her phone and dialed the familiar number. She listened as it rung twice then she heard the familiar voice.
Logan smiled as he glanced down at his id that read Ace.
"Hey Ace".
"Hey" she repeated as she let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you ok?" Logan asked as he heard her let out the sigh.
"I'm fine I just thought that" Rory trailed off.
Logan smiled on the other end as he knew what she was going to say.
"I wouldn't leave you Rory. Especially now" he stated softly.
"Thank you Logan" she replied with a smile.
"Where are you?" she inquired as she sat up in bed.
"Yale Daily News. Paris called and said that there was a problem with tomorrow's issue before it could go to press".
"So you went to the paper for me" Rory finished.
"Why didn't you wake me?"
"You were the most relaxed I'd seen you in weeks and you needed sleep".
"Do you need me to come in?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"No, we got it taken care of. Stay where you are and relax. I'll be home in a few minutes".
"I love you so much" Rory stated as a smile played on her lips.
"I love you too Ace".
"Hurry home".
"I will" Logan promised.
After saying goodbye Rory took a quick shower and slipped on one of Logan's white t-shirts and a pair of his grey sweat pants. She called the hospital and she heard the same thing she had for weeks no change. Rory laid the phone on the coffee table and got comfortable on the couch.
Logan made his way up to their apartment and quickly let himself in. He didn't hear any noise so he figured that meant Rory was asleep. As he turned the little corner he saw her fast asleep on the couch. Logan smiled at the sight as he went over and got a blanket to cover her up with. He gently moved a stray hair away from her face. Since Rory was sleeping he decided to get some work done for the London office. After a little while he saw her to begin to stir. He quickly put down his laptop and made his way over to the couch. Logan got down on his knees next to where Rory's head was laying. He rose up until his lips were directly in line with her forehead. Logan placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, then a small one on her nose, and finally an I'm here for you passionate kiss on her lips. As he broke away from the kiss he looked at her studying her closely.
"What?"
"I was just thinking how beautiful you look".
"You're kidding right? My hair isn't fixed, I have no makeup on and you think I'm beautiful".
"Absolutely, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on" Logan murmured as he moved a loose strand of hair from her face.
"I don't deserve you".
"I think you have that in reverse I don't deserve you".
Rory extended her left hand back and took hold of Logan's free hand.
"Come here" she whispered as she tugged on his hand.
Logan obliged by getting up and moving around to sit next to Rory on the couch. After he sat down he pulled her close to him as he wrapped his left arm protectively around her waist. She snuggled into his side as she laid her head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. He kissed the top of her head as Rory ran her left hand down his right arm.
"You feel so good".
He smiled as he pulled her onto his lap and raised her chin so he could look her in the eye. As she made eye contact with him she leaned in for a silent, soft kiss on the lips. The couple shared a few more soft kisses never parting more than a few inches. Logan stared at her intently.
"How did you sleep?"
"I slept great until I woke up to an empty".
"It's all Paris' fault."
"What was the big emergency anyway?"
"Well Paris and Bill were arguing over their respective articles and where they should go in the paper".
"Oh boy!"
He laughed lightly at her interjection.
"Brace yourself Ace I'm going to say something I never thought I would in my entire life."
Rory pulled back and eyed him curiously as she intertwined her fingers with his.
"Graduation has made Ms. Gellar a complete mess".
Rory glanced at him quickly.
He grinned "More than her usual mess".
She listened intently as he continued and he pulled her back into his chest.
"Bill's argument was valid. He did this awesome article about the dean of Yale that spanned the last decade with pictures and everything. It was a very nice tribute that belongs on the front page".
"Why did Paris put up a fight about that?"
"Well, you see she did another tribute for Professor Fleming."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes, she felt it also deserved the front page spot."
"What did you do?" she asked curiously
Logan placed a gentle kiss on her temple before continuing.
"It took a lot I mean a lot of patient not raising my voice very calm smooth talking to convince her different. Bill's amazing article is front and center with a little corner at the bottom of the page directing readers to Paris' article on page two including a tiny picture of Fleming."
Rory placed one hand on each cheek and lowered his face until her lips brushed his. She drew him in for a seductive kiss.
Logan smirked, "You're welcome Ace."
He leaned in to kiss her again as the phone rang. Rory jumped up and grabbed the phone quickly.
"Hello. I understand thank you for calling."
"Is something wrong?" he questioned as she put down the phone.
"He's awake".
