"Tell Her You Love Her"

Ch. 3

A/N: I didn't get much feedback on the last chapter so I hope it was enjoyed. Much love to all who reviewed.

Disclaimer: should I even bother anymore? I don't own Gilmore Girls or anything associated with them.

Rory stopped at the video store on her way home. Logan parked his car next to hers and confusedly followed her to the door,

"Logan…" she started.

"Yes?"

"I think it would be best if you headed straight to my place and waited in your car until I got there…"

"Why?" He gave her his adorable I'm-so-confused face.

"This is a small town, remember? Everyone here keeps tabs on me…they know that we aren't together anymore…if we are seen together I'm going to be asked a lot of questions. Just go, I'll get the movie and food and meet you back there," Rory pointed him in the direction of his car.

"Alright, Ace, I'll be waiting," Logan turned around and took Rory's hand.

"With rings on your fingers and bells on your toes?" She asked sarcastically.

"If that's what turns you on, Ace," he kissed her hand and got in his car and drove off.

Rory sighed, she will never get over his kisses. No matter where they were. Her cheek, her hand, her lips. They made her insides flip flop and her brain stop functioning. She pushed open the video store door and greeted Andrew who was behind the counter.

"Hey, Rory. Having one of those famous Gilmore Girl movie nights?" He asked her.

"Yeah, something like that," she said grabbing a few movies, trying to avoid anything too Romantic. She proceeded to buy them and walk out to her car.

Logan waited outside of Rory's house; he caught a glimpse of headlights and turned to look at them. It was Lorelai, she didn't know he was going to be there that night, might as well tell her now.

She knocked on his window and he rolled it down.

"Hello, Lorelai." Logan greeted.

"Hey, Logan…I want to tell you something before Rory gets here, just something she doesn't know yet that you should know."

Logan nodded, a sign for her to continue.

"I'm the reason you were invited to dinner. So don't screw this up lover boy. Rory needs you, so I called my mom and asked her to help. She called your mom and then you obviously were told to show up. You're welcome." Lorelai patted him on the shoulder, "come on, I'll let you in, I suppose she knows you're going to be here?"

Logan followed Lorelai up to the door, "Yeah, we're having movie night and tomorrow we are going to take a road trip. Just catching up, talking, and spending time together. I want you to know, Lorelai; I'm not here to screw things up. I actually planned on coming over here before mom even called me to tell me about dinner. So if you weren't ok with me being here and coming back, I would've come back anyway. I will do anything to get Rory to trust me again and I'll go anything to have her again. She doesn't need me, I need her. More than anything. Hell, I even decorated my house based off of her tastes. Lorelai, I want you to know that I am in this for the longest long hull you have ever seen. I'm not going anywhere that easily." As he said this Rory pulled up into the driveway.

"Oh, hey, Mom. I forgot to tell you Logan was coming over, I hope you don't mind…" Rory said as she walked through the doorway.

"No, she doesn't mind. Come on! Let's start the movie what did you get?" Logan said from the couch.

"Well, I got lots and lots of Chinese takeout, and I got chips with dip because I didn't know if what my mom had in the refrigerator was still good. As for movies I thought we could start with "Inception" because I haven't made it all the way through yet. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, Ace. Put the movie in."

Rory started up the movie and grabbed a container of sweet and sour pork. She went to sit on the couch next to Logan but realized the possible snuggle potential it had and chose to sit on the floor. A few minutes into the movie Logan moved down next to her, "I got to reach the food easier," he explained while grabbing for a container of some noodle and vegetable concoction. Rory tried to not notice the tingly electric feeling she felt between the small space between them. She tried to not notice how his arm was slung on the couch behind her head and with a few short movements he would be holding her.

"Do you know what it's like to be a lover? To be half of a whole?" Rory felt eyes on her; she turned toward Logan who was looking at her as if it were the first time and the last.

"I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you; but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will take you?" Rory listened to the dialogue from the movie.

"Because you'll be together." Logan whispered the line while staring intently into Rory's eyes. He slowly moved his arm to encompass Rory's form, "Sorry, I've seen the movie already. It's my favorite."

Rory nodded and grabbed another container of Chinese food while allowing her body to relax against Logan.

Lorelai headed to Luke's after Rory and Logan started the movie. She wanted to give them space and privacy.

"Luuuuuuuuke! Open up!" Lorelai shouted as she banged on the door. "Come on! I know you're in there!" Luke ran down to the door of the diner.

"Lorelai! We don't have a date planned for tonight."

"No we don't, but Rory has Logan over and I want to give them privacy-"

"That's not like you. Why did you let him inside the house? After what he did he should be begging her to let him back in her life!" Luke poured Lorelai a cup of coffee and handed her a donut.

"I think he already did. They left dinner early, not together but around the same time. And when I got home he was waiting for Rory to come back with stuff for movie night. I think they're talking things through. I'm glad. She was so lonely and destroyed without him, Luke."

Luke held Lorelai close to him, "I know, I know."

"Would you mind if I stay the night?" Lorelai mumbled.

"Lorelai, do whatever you want to do." Luke said while inviting Lorelai upstairs to his apartment.

Rory fell asleep right as the credits started rolling on the screen. She wanted to finish watching the movie so much she forced herself to stay awake and was so glad she made it through the movie that she just crashed when it was over. Logan lifted her up bridal style and carried her to her room.

"Logan…" Rory mumbled in her sleep.

"Yes, Ace?"

"I love you…" she took even breaths and cuddled her head into the crook of his neck. He laid her into her bed and gave a kiss to her forehead. After pulling the covers over her he grabbed an extra blanket from the end of her bed and walked to the living room where he crashed on the couch.

"Logan? Logan where did you go?" Rory couldn't find Logan anywhere.

"This is just like you to leave like this without saying good-bye. Damn it Logan!" Tears were streaming down her face.

"I love you! I wanted to get back together! What happened? What did I do wrong this time?"

Rory fell to the floor, sobbing.

"Logan!" Rory sat up in bed tears streaming down her face, "Logan!"

Logan ran into her room, his hair a mess, and wrapped his arms around a crying Rory.

"Ace, sweetheart, what's wrong? Please, tell me what's wrong."

"I-I had a d-dream and you left-t me w-without a g-goodbye and I c-couldn't find-d you anywhere." She sobbed into his shoulder.

"Rory I am not going anywhere. I will not leave. I promise," Logan ran his hand up and down her back as her breath evened and she calmed down.

"I'm sorry I'm acting silly, aren't I?" Rory asked quietly.

"No. Absolutely not. You are not being silly." Logan kissed her forehead. "Was that all?"

"Logan?"

"Yes, Ace?" Logan asked pulling away from Rory to look her in the face.

"Stay in here with me tonight? I mean we aren't going to…well you know…but I just…please?" She looked at him with her big blue eyes and her pouty lips. There was no way Logan could've said no to her.

"Alright, Ace, scoot over."

Rory and Logan fell asleep in each other's arms for the first time in a long time. Rory couldn't help but realize just how right she felt.

Logan lay next to Rory holding her close, he smiled to himself, it just felt natural. Having Rory so close and sleeping so peacefully. This, he knew, was the first of many nights that would end in such a manner.

A/N: so what do you think? I wanted to have a really sweet chapter of just fluffy stuff. I know it's shorter than the past two chapters I hope you still like it.
