Chapter 4
Later that evening, Rory was getting ready for bed, when she saw a postcard she picked up while her and Logan were enjoying the day in Copenhagen, Denmark. She laid back on her bed and remembered that day.
*Flashback*
Rory had somehow, talked Emily into letting her go out "alone" for the whole day, while they were in Copenhagen. Emily didn't know that the reason for Rory wanting to go out alone was so that she can meet up with Logan. She was excited about having Logan show her around Copenhagen. Her and her mom had decided to skip Denmark when they went backpacking through Europe the summer before.
Rory met Logan outside the hotel, she smiled at him as he walked over to her and gave her a sweet kiss. When he pulled back, he laced his fingers through her and started walking down the street. They stopped at a little bistro to get a cup of coffee and something light to eat. While they were sitting there, they talked more about their friends and life back in the states. Logan told her more about Colin and Finn and some of the adventures/trouble they have gotten into. Logan also told her about the yacht sinking in Fiji. Rory really started laughing at how Finn was the one who sunk the yacht and that no one knew that he was even driving the boat, since they were all sleeping. 'I need to get her to laugh more' Logan thought, as he finished telling her the story.
"How on earth did Finn even find the keys?" She asked him, still laughing.
"We thought we had hid them well, but I guess Finn knew exactly where to look and found them," He said with a shake of his head, "The next thing we knew, the yacht jerked and we all ended up in the floor, wondering what the hell had just happened." Logan looked at Rory and admired how her face seemed to light up while she was laughing. He knew she was beautiful, but at this moment she looked so alive and carefree, he didn't think she could ever look more beautiful that she did at that moment. He looked her over as she was telling him about Lane and the craziness that is Stars Hollow, she was wearing a flower print silk slip dress, that fit her body just perfectly. She was wearing a basic pair of flats, her hair was curled and framed her face, and she wasn't wearing that much make-up. Logan was used to girls wearing clothes that showed practically everything and a ton of make-up. But Rory, dressed like she was made her more beautiful than any other girl he had ever been with.
Logan was brought out of his thoughts when Rory asked him a question that he didn't hear, "Huh?" he mumbled out, seeing the look of amusement, from catching him checking her out.
"I asked if you were ready to go," she said, with a smile on her face, "I finished my coffee and danish."
"Oh, yeah, I am done with mine too, let's get out of here." He said, as he put money on the table and helped her out of her chair.
Their next stop made Rory's face light up like a 5-year-old on Christmas morning. They were in front of an antique book store, that held rare and priceless first-edition books. The shop didn't really look like much and it was located just off the main street, nestled in the corner. It didn't look like it really got that many customers.
Logan pulled her with him into the shop, "I always make sure to stop here, when I am close by and have a few hours to kill," he told her, as he watched her look around with a smile on her face, "No one, family or friends, know about this place, or that I come here. They probably think I go to a bar and drink for a few hours, when I disappear," he smiled at her and looked in her eyes, "You are the first person I ever wanted to bring here."
She held in the gasp that was threatening to escape as she stared into his milk chocolate eyes. The emotion that was there showed her just how much bringing her to his little place to get away from it all meant to him, "Thank you for bringing me here Logan. This place is amazing," she gave him a smile and tugged on his hand, "Let's go see what we can find."
They spent hours going through the shelves and shelves of the rare and priceless antiques. Rory was amazed at all the first-editions that were in this store. A library or book store was a mecca for Rory, but this place, she reasoned, had to be her Heaven and to be there with Logan just made it even better.
They loved looking through all the books together, they really didn't have to say much. As long as they were there together in a place that meant so much to, now, both of them, was all that mattered.
Unbeknownst, to either on of them, was that they were having the same thoughts, as they were getting ready to leave the book store. They had fallen head over heels for each other and were just waiting for the right moment to tell the other person how they felt.
It was late afternoon, when Logan dropped Rory off at her hotel. He gave her a small kiss and told her to be ready in a couple hours because he was going to show her the nightlife in Copenhagen. He said for her to dress for a romantic dinner and but also something that she could move in. He wanted to surprise her with the last place he wanted to take her that night. She turned an walked into the hotel with a smile on her face, wondering just what he had planned for that evening.
*End of Flashback*
Rory just laid there thinking about how amazing that day had been. The book store, was something she loved and couldn't wait until they would be able to visit again. She got a sly smile on her face as she remembered the rest of their evening.
*Flashback*
Logan had just sent Rory a text saying that he was waiting for her in the lobby. She grabbed her purse, that had her keys in it, left a note for Emily and walked out of the room to meet Logan.
When she got off the elevator, she searched the lobby looking for Logan, when she found him, she looked him over, before he noticed her. He was dressed in black slacks and a dark gray dress shirt. He had the top 3 buttons undo and the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. She couldn't help but admit that he looked damn sexy standing there. She caught his eye as he finally saw her and gave him a big smile.
When Logan finally saw her, she took his breath away. She was dressed in a teal and black dress that his just above her knees. She was wearing open toe pumps that made her legs look even longer than they actually were. Her hair was down and straight and her make-up was a little heavier, but not much, than it was earlier that day.
He walked over to her and gave her a kiss, "Wow. You look gorgeous, Ace."
She blushed as he complimented her, "You don't look have bad yourself."
"Are you ready to go?" He asked as he took her hand in his.
"Yeah where are we going?" she asked, hoping to get a little something out of him.
"Not telling, Ace, it's a surprise." he told her as they got into the waiting car.
He settled in beside her and told the driver that they were ready. The drive wasn't that long and before she knew it they pulled up in front of Al Mercante. The restaurant didn't really look like much from the outside, but once they stepped through the front doors, Rory was in awe. The place was so beautiful and elegant. The interior was decorated so immaculately, that it was as if they were back in Italy again. There were murals all over the place and the lighting just help the romantic atmosphere that they so obviously wanted to achieve. As Rory looked around she was being pulled by Logan towards their table. Logan pulled out Rory's chair for her and after she sat down he took his own across from here. Logan ordered them a bottle of wine, when the waiter left, he asked Rory, "What do you think you are going to have?"
"I don't know, I don't understand anything that is on the menu. It's all in Danish." She told him as she looked over at him to see a smirk on his face.
"Do you trust me?" He asked her.
"Why?" She stated skeptically, putting her menu down on the table.
"Because I want to order for you." He said, as the waiter brought the wine over to them. He saw her sigh and knew that she was going to let him order for her.
"Okay. But don't mess it up. I take my food very seriously." She said, giving him a look that told him he better not screw this up.
He gave her a nod, then turned back to the waiter, "Jeg vil have Risotto med KarlJohan Svampe, Cantharellus Svampe og trøffel i hvidvin og trøffel sauce. Og fruen vil have hjemmelavede makaroni med skiver af oksekød, svampe, nødder, og fløde brandy sauce." Logan finished and handed the menus back to the waiter. When he turned and looked back at Rory, she was looking him with an awed and amused expression on her face.
"I didn't know you knew Danish." She said, impressed with him.
"You still have a lot to learn Ace, a lot to learn," he said, as he picked up his glass of wine, she picked up hers as he started his toast, "To a magical evening and hopefully many more." And with that he clinked his glass to hers. She smiled at him and took a sip of her wine. They continued talking about anything and everything. Their conversations never lulled and they were able to easily transition between topics. Their food came and Rory was amazed once again at Logan. He had picked her something that looked delicious and when she took her first bite, she couldn't help but moan in satisfaction.
"This is amazing. Thank you Logan," She said sincerely, "You defiantly picked the right thing. You will so be able to order for me again." They went back to eating and soon she started to notice that the atmosphere of the restaurant was changing. She looked at Logan and he explained that it was time for the restaurant to turn into a lounge and bar. He explained that they were going to have a few drinks at the bar before leaving for their final destination of the night. Rory watched in amazement as the bartenders started to flair or show bartending.
Finally, they were leaving Al Mercante and walking down the street. They reached their final destination, which was NASA, Baron Boltens Gård. Logan gave his name to the bouncer and when the bouncer checked his name off, let them inside the club. As they went to find a place to sit, Logan told her that the club was exclusive and that you were only allowed in if you were on the guest list. Rory looked at him shocked, he in turn, told her this was one of the best clubs in Copenhagen and to just enjoy it and have fun. And did they have fun. They danced and drank til around 2 a.m., Logan knew that they needed to get back, so he paid the tab and they walked out to their waiting car. They got back to the hotel and Logan walked her to the elevator. He gave her a sensual kiss, that neither wanted to end, and told her that he would call her later. He waited until the elevator doors closed before he walked back out of the hotel with a satisfied smile on his face.
Rory rode the elevator up and got off on her floor. When she got to her room, she leaned against the door, just as she was about open the door, her cell phone buzzed. She got it out and opened it to see that she had a text message from Logan.
'I had a fantastic time tonight. I can't wait until we are able to do it again.' -LH
She mentally jumped up and down and sent him a text back.
'Me too. Goodnight.' -Ace
'Goodnight, Ace' -LH
*End of Flashback*
Rory was brought out of her memories, by a tap on the window. She got up and saw Logan standing there. She opened the window to let him in. He gave her a deep kiss, then stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed with her.
"I love you, Ace." He said, starting to drift off to sleep.
"I love you, too." She mumbled and buried her head into his chest.
They both fell asleep with smiles on their faces that night, just happy to be back together again, 3 weeks apart was a long time and they hoped they didn't have to do it again anytime soon.
AN: I want to say that I don't know Danish, I just have a translator on my phone so I hope its close enough. I have also never been to Denmark, I just found the places online (except the book store, that is from 'The Templar Legacy' by Steve Berry). Also I want to give a shout out to LogansAce, who has helped me tremendously figure out things for this story.
Also there are some pictures of Rory's dresses and shoes on my profile, if you want to check them out.
Please read and review.
