Chapter 7
The next morning...
Logan is at the coffee cart ordering his cup of coffee and is sort of in a daze, so he doesn't realize Rory behind him. He's gonna go for his wallet when she stops him.
"I got it this time." Rory said.
"No Ace, really let me get yours." He gives her a forced smile.
"No, Logan you always buy mine its time to return the favor." Rory insisted.
"Okay thanks."
He waits a minute while she grabs her own coffee and when she turns around they start to walk together in the same direction. She notices that Logan isn't really himself and isn't even talking.
"Logan?"
He doesn't respond.
"Logan? HELLO---? Earth to Logan." She said waving her free hand in front of his face.
He sees the hand and stops.
"Oh sorry, Ace did you say something?"
"What is going on with you you're acting all weird?"
"Nothing, really Im sorry I've just had a lot on my mind lately."
"Oh, well okay. " She said. She decided it was best to drop the subject. "So, what happened yesterday, I tried calling you, you didn't pick up?"
"Oh, I don't know, a lots happened since we last saw eachother and I just needed some time to sort through it all." He stops dead in his tracks as he remembers. "We were supposed to go out yesterday. Rory Im so sorry."
"Its okay Logan you've obviously got a lot going."
"No Rory there is no excuse two days in and im already a horrible boyfriend."
"Oh you're not that bad, you just need a few pointers every now and then." She smiles at him.
He smiles back at her, grateful that she's so understanding. "Pointers huh?" Rory nods her head. "And who will be giving me these pointers you speak of."
"Me of course, who else." Rory smiles up at him and kisses him on the cheek.
"Well then, Ace what other pointers do you have for me?"
"Well, lesson #1 The proper way to greet your new girlfriend when you see her."
"Did I not greet you properly.?" He said sarcastically
"Logan as much fun as bantering over who gets to pay for the coffee is, it doesnt really---"
Logan cuts Rory off and stops her from walking forward, cups her face and kisses her passionately.
Rory breaks it apart. And pushes him back slightly.
"Now thats what I call a hello" Rory states blushing and then notices everyone gawking at them and smiling. So she starts to feel a little self concious. "People are staring."
"Let em'. Im giving my girlfriend a proper hello."
"Yeah okay."
They kiss again.
"All right how back to having are first date Id like to make it up to you."
"Yeah you should definitely do that. That was lesson #2 by the way. You just jumped to the head of the class."
"Yeah well ive always been an overachiever. Be ready at 7:00, Ill pick you up at your dorm."
They then went off to their classes. Rory couldn't stop smiling but she couldn't put the feeling that something horrible was about to happen.
Later that afternoon....
Logan knew she was here, but he couldn't see her, he wasn't ready. All feelings that came associated with her left when he was with Rory. He loved Rory. She was his Ace. As if his prayers were answered he spotted Rory eating lunch and he couldn't wait another minute to be with her so he headed straight there and when she saw him and smiled he couldn't help but smile. It was then he saw her. She was sitting with Rory, talking to Rory, laughing with Rory. What was she doing here with Rory?
"Hey Logan!" Rory said getting up to greet him. Logan couldn't talk. Caitlin looked up at him when she heard Rory say hello.
I knew Id see him at eventually, I just never thought that it would be like this? God, he looks good! Caitlin thought to herself.
Rory saw that Caitlin and Logan were staring at each other, and it started to make her nervous. Did they know each other?
"Alright, what's going on do you two know each other?" Rory asked.
Logan looked at Rory and started to panic inside, I can't tell her, she'll end it with me, wouldn't she? I wanna be with Rory, I don't want this to end.
Caitlin sensed that Logan was uncomfortable, and figured if she wanted Logan back she would have to play it smart. I'll give him what he wants, for now. She thought.
"No Rory of course not, he just sort of reminds me of someone I knew back home that's all." Turning to Logan. "Hi im Caitlin Rory's friend you must be Logan. Rory hasn't been able to stop talking about you." She said holding out her hand.
Logan knew what she was doing and decided it might be best to play along for now.
So he shook her hand and said "Yeah that's me, so Ace has been talking about me, huh?" Giving her a playful poke in the stomach "All good things I hope."
"Of course." Caitlin said. "Well I guess Ill leave you two lovebirds alone. Logan it was nice meeting you, hope to see you around. And Rory I'll see tomorrow for lunch will go over those notes?"
"Yeah Catey, see ya later."
Caitlin left and Rory turned to Logan
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah" Logan said hugging her close and giving her a kiss. "I m fine"
So what do you think? Let me know?
