Sorry it took me so long to update. I was on vacation for a week with no internet access (the horror!). I almost went crazy.
Blush instantly invaded Rory's face while Logan glared at Finn, who looked back at both, expecting an answer.
"Well?"
"It was nothing." Logan's face fell when she said that
"Bull."
Finn watched the two of his friends, both with faces that held pain, still expecting an answer.
"Tell me what happened or I go downstairs and speak to Kevin!"
Rory realized that Logan wasn't going to say anything, so she did. She stood up, pointed her finger accusingly at Logan and said:
"He kissed me."
No way. There was no way that Finn was going to get one part of the story. He stood up as well.
"You kissed back."
"You gave me that think on my neck."
"You weren't complaining!" They were yelling now
"You said you wanted to be more then friends!" Tears were threatening to overflow onto Rory's face
"I don want to be more then friends!"
Rory didn't expect that. If he wanted more, then why did he end it? Sure, he said that it was because of Kevin, but that was an excuse, and a lousy one at that. Finn, who had been watching them back and forth like it was a tennis match, waited eagerly to see what was going to happen.
"Then why did you end it?"
"Because Kevin is one of my best friends."
"So what?" their voices were rising
""He would hate me!"
"He would get over it." Both were yelling now
"He might not!"
"Well that's just a risk you need to be willing to take!" a single tear betray her as her voice softened, "But your not."
He hated to see her cry, ands he hated to let him see her cry. All he wanted to do was pull her as close as possible and kiss her. So that's exactly what he did. Finn stared at them, amazed. Rory didn't respond, she was to shocked. When he finally pulled away, he looked into her eyes, waiting for an reaction, any reaction.
"You can't just do that!" Rory fumed
"Do what?" he couldn't help but smile at her
"You can't just kiss me and. . . and expect me to. . .to just forgive. ." Rory had tried to sound angry, but had failed miserably. She searched for something more to say but Logan, who had just smiled at her the whole time, made every thought fly out of her brain as he, if it was possible, pulled her even closer and kissed her. He pulled away for a moment to whisper "I love taking risks." in her ear. This time, Rory kissed back. Finn left unnoticed as the two stayed glued together, hoping they would never have to separate.

Colin could study in almost any environment. He could study if there were a million people in the background talking. Hell, he could study if there were 10 million people talking. He could not, however, study in complete silence, which was the environment he was in. So, being Colin, he complained.
"It's too quiet."
"Then put some music on, CD's are in my room."
This was how Coling found himself in Kevin's room, lookinf for some music. He suddenly remembered that it was Rory who was born with the good taste in music and walked into her room without knocking. That was where he found Logan and Rory. Making out. On her bed. All he could do was stand in her doorway with his mouth hanging open in complete shock.
After Finn had left, Rory and Logan had made their way to her bed; their tongues both fighting for the upper hand. While briefly opening her eyes, she spotted a shocked Colin standing her in her room. Rory suddenly sat up, pushing Logan to the side.
"What's wron- Colin!"
"Oh my god." Rory quickly got up and shut the door behind him.
"Colin, calm down."
"Kevin is going to kill you. He is going to castrate you and then he is going to kill you!"
"Will you please stop yelling?"
"You're the one who gave her the hickey!"
"We will tell my brother when we are ready."
"So you're going to lie to him?"
"Just until we figure out how to tell him."
"And when will that be?"
"Colin," it was Rory who spoke this time, "please don't tell Kevin. I know he sad he would stay out of my life, but not when I'm with Logan."
Despite the look on Colin's face, Logan felt great. He was with Rory. She was his, and he loved that. She was still in her uniform, yet all she could do was stare at her. Colin saw the look on his best friends face, and realized he was happy. Rory made him happy. He had the same ridiculous smile on his face then the night after the party. He saw how he just stared at her, like a man in a daze.
"You really like her?"
"Yes, I really do." Rory smiled at this.
Colin looked at Rory and directed the next question at her.
"Ms Hayden, what exactly are your intentions toward my best friend?"

As Rory and Paris drove to school, Paris listened intently in the happenings of the night before. She was happy for Rory who, like the day after the party, couldn't stop smiling. When she got to her locker, Logan Kevin, Finn, and Colin were already there preparing for AP Calculus. Unnoticed by Kevin, Colin, Paris, and Finn watched Rory and Logan smile at each other. Once Louise and Madeline arrived they automatically knew something was going on. They dragged Rory and Paris away, demanding to know what happened. This left the boys alone to discuss that weekend festivities.
"We did this at my house last year. It's Hayden's year."
Once a year the four boys got together and watched all three Godfathers on T.V.
"We'll have the house to ourselves, except for Rory. Lorelai doesn't get in until Saturday."
"Cool."
"I don't know what's up with her. She was really sad for the last few days and ever since last night she's been really happy. It's weird."
Finn and Colin suppressed a laugh while Logan smiled to himself. He was glad that he was making her as happy as she was making him.

"He kissed you!"
Rory was telling Louise and Maddy about Logan. She was still smiling.
"What does this mean?"
"It means were together." She loved saying that.
"What about Kevin?"
"I don't know."

Sixth period, along with being the last class of the day, was a class that she shared with Logan. Just Logan. That particular Friday after noon the teacher had had a family emergency, so the entire class was sent to the library. It had seemed, however, being the Mary that she was, Rory had been the only one who actually went to the library. She wandered around and found herself in the back of the library; the part where no one but her and Paris usually went. The library was her sanctuary.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms encircle her wais and was gently pushed against the wall. She smiled before Logan's mouth connected with hers. One of his hands were on her hip while the other cupped her face as she allowed his tongue to explore her mouth. Her arms moved around his neck as she closer. They only broke apart because oxygen was needed to stay conscious.
"So, are you and the guys doing the Godfather thing tonight?"
"Yep."
She pulled his mouth to hers and kissed him passionately.
"So I guess I'll see ya."
"I plan on it."
His hand moves to the back of her neck and he attacked her lips with his own. His hands moved to her waist as he pulled her closer. He groaned in protest as she pulled away.
"The bells going to ring, I need to go meet Paris."
"Don't go."
"I don't want to."
He pressed his lips against hers one more time.
"See ya later Ace."
She felt him watching her as she walked away.

When Logan got to the Hayden estate that evening, Colin and Finn were already there. He found his three friends in the kitchen arguing over take out menus.
"Pizza!"
"Chinese!"
"Pizza!"
"Chinese!"
"Pizza!"
Logan just let them argue, they had this debate every year.
Rory heard Colin and Finn yelling from the kitchen as she mad her way down the stairs. Once she got there, she knew why.
"Why don't you just order both?"
Finn looked at her life she was crazy.
"We can't order both."
"Why not?"
He looked prepared to come back with an answer, but then thought about it.
"I don't know."
She hadn't noticed Logan was there. She wasn't exactly what her grandmother would call 'decent'. All she had on was a pair of boxer shorts and a tank top that showed a little too much skin for Rory's taste. She had consulted Louise on what to wear that would look casual yet good at the same time. In fact, she had an outfit that was a little less revealing upstairs, but she heard them ordering food and had to make sure they were ordering god stuff. Logan couldn't tear his eyes away from Rory; he loved how she blushed when she noticed them there.
The food got there about 45 minutes later (they ordered pizza AND Chinese) and they started the movie. By the third movie, however, Rory was asleep. When she woke up, she found herself in a deserted living room covered thoughtfully by a blanket. She found the four boys in the dining room playing poker.
"It's 3 in the morning what are you doing?"
Three of the boys looked at her like it was obvious, Logan, however, was looking a little below her eyes.
"Were playing poker."
"Why?"
"Well," said a drunk Finn. "Kevin said Loverboy owed him $1,000. Loverboy said it was Kevin that owed him the $1,000. Colin agreed with Kevin so I thought it was only fair that Loverboy had someone on his side.
That had not explained to Rory why they were playing poker, but they had other things to worry about. Colin looked at Finn like he couldn't believe what he had just said. Thankfully, that look went unnoticed by Kevin since he looked at Finn like he was crazy. It took Finn a little while to notice what he had said.
"Loverboy?"
"I'm drunk Kevin."
Rory tried to change the subject.
"So, who's winning?"
"I am." answered all four boys.
"Whatever, I'm going to bed. Good night or morning."
As she went up the stairs, she heard Logan say:
"I'm out, now excuse me, I need to use the bathroom."
Rory went up the stairs, brushed her teeth, and when she looked up from the sink she saw Logan's reflection in the mirror; she turned around to face him. He stepped closer to her and rested one hand on each side of the counter behind her; trapping her. He kissed her first and almost automatically her hands went to his shoulders, playing with the little hairs on his neck. They broke apart when it was necessary.
"I thought you were winning."
He made shivers run up her spine when he whispered:
"I am winning." And kissed her again.
Thanks for all the reviews!
