Logan woke up the next morning and wasn't greeted with the usual dull ache in his head. He obviously hadn't gotten drunk last night. Though the events of the previous evening were foggy.
He looked at the other occupants of the bed, whatever had happened last night certainly couldn't have been normal. Logan was sandwiched in the bed between Rory and Madeline, and Finn was sprawled out at the end. "What the Fuck?" Logan muttered out loud as he tried to sit up, but couldn't. He glanced over and saw that Rory was using his arm as a teddy bear.
Logan tried to pull his arm out from her tight grasp but she wasn't having any of it. "Stop." She mumbled sleepily holding onto his arm tighter and falling instantly back to sleep.
"Logan?" He heard his voice quietly called from across the room.
"Who are you?" Logan asked not being able to sit up and see who it was.
"It's me, you dumbass, who else would it be?" Colin whispered as he walked over to the bed.
"Well, being as I don't remember what happened last night, you could have been just about anyone."
"We came back to the hotel early, played a 'G' rated version of truth or dare then we all passed out. I find it a little pathetic that the nights you get plastered you can remember but the nights you stay perfectly sober you have difficulty with."
"Wait a minute, I passed out in a bed. A bed with two hot girls and didn't do…anything?" Logan asked slightly mystified. He'd been in bed with two females before but never had he actually slept with two girls in the same bed before.
"Not unless you were all extremely quiet."
"No, I think I'd definitely remember having a threesome."
"Ew, you perv." He heard Rory mumbled drowsily.
"Can I have my arm back?"
"No."
"Can you at least shift so I have feeling back in it?" Rory rolled over slightly and buried her head in the crook of his neck and feel asleep again. "It's gotta be a gift to wake up, insult someone and then instantly pass back out."
"Good gift to have, I suppose." Colin shrugged.
"Why is Finn sleeping at the end of the bed?"
"Not sure."
"He looks uncomfortable." Logan said looking at his best friend who had half his body hanging off the edge of the bed while the other half was twisted up in a blanket.
"Not my problem." Colin shrugged; he was used to finding Finn sleeping in unusual locations and positions. "I am going to go get some coffee and bagels."
"Alright, maybe when you come back my duties as a human stuffed animal will have been relinquished."
Colin looked at Rory snuggled into Logan's side, it looked so normal, like something he'd seen hundreds of times. "You're loving it."
"No I'm not."
"Shut up!" Madeline grumbled pulling the blankets over her head.
"I'll be back."
"Where's Louise?"
"Louise is in my room, Paris went to her and Rory's hotel room this morning to make sure the people they came with hadn't left."
Logan nodded and watched Colin leave the room. As soon as the door shut Finn was startled and fell off the bed. "What the hell!" he said as he reappeared from the floor.
"Someone's grouchy."
Finn glared at Logan , "It must be the lack of alcohol in my system, it makes me alert."
"What a pity."
"You're telling me." Finn mumbled as he walked over to the blinds shut them and threw himself onto the couch and fell back asleep.
Logan closed his eyes as a blip of their truth or dare game lingered in his memory.
"Let's play truth or dare!" Rory suggested.
"Ok… Paris , truth or dare?" Madeline asked.
"Truth."
"How was Jamie in bed?"
"Excuse me?"
"After your melt down on TV Louise and I asked how Jamie was in bed and you refused to answer well…Now I want you to answer."
"That is ridiculous."
"It's either that or you do a dare…Even keeping it G rated I can humiliate you."
"Jamie was fine, it was good."
"Like good as in nice, sweet guy knowing he's sleeping with a virgin or like good in a kinky sort of way?" Madeline questioned. Rory began to laugh at the look on Paris 's face.
"That's two questions, my turn. Rory…Truth or Date."
"Truth." she said containing her laughter.
"Since you think my sex life is so funny how about we discuss your lack of." Paris said smirking. "I'm just curious, why didn't you lose it to that James Dean wannabe?"
"Is it because he had freaky hair…Too much product?" Madeline commented.
"Either that or he didn't know how to use it." Louise added.
"Uh…because…I didn't wanna give such a big piece of myself to someone who I really couldn't trust to stick around." Rory admitted quietly, looking at the ground intently.
"Don't worry, Doll." Finn said breaking the ice and throwing an arm around her shoulders "I am saving myself for love as well."
"I find it hard to believe you are a virgin."
"But I am…I'm a born again virgin."
"How many times exactly have you been born again?" Colin questioned sarcastically.
"Shut up, Colin." Finn glared and the game continued.
Logan sighed as he looked over at the girl peacefully sleeping on his left and in that moment he knew Louise had been right about so many things. Right that he shouldn't even have considered going on a date with Rory, right that he was so shallow he wouldn't even date a girl that wouldn't sleep with him.
Rory Gilmore was officially in the category of off limits, she was a virgin and he was certainly not going to get himself wrapped up in the drama of that. Louise would kill him if he slept with her and they weren't in a serious relationship and he did not do serious relationships, hell he didn't do relationships period. His last relationship lasted two weeks to a girl named Ashley Grove and it was in the eighth grade. She broke up with him because he had kissed her best friend during a game of spin the bottle.
With one more glance in Rory's direction he sighed and closed his eyes in hopes of falling back to sleep.
-------------------------------
"So, what are you guys going to do tonight?" Louise asked as the girls walked around a store.
"What do you mean 'you guys?' Where will you be?" Madeline questioned.
"Colin is taking me out on a date."
"Where?"
"I don't know…He won't tell me, but he did say to dress casually."
"Like a sundress?" Madeline asked.
"That's what I was thinking."
"Well…You're first date with Colin calls for a new dress." Rory told her.
"I knew we were friends for a reason." Louise smiled linking arms with Rory and Madeline as they walked down the street chatting and laughing.
Rory was laughing at something Madeline had said when she glanced across the street and spotted Logan making out with some girl. She wasn't sure why but it made her heart drop.
"Rory?" Louise said nudging her, "What do you think?"
"About?" Rory questioned coming back from her state of shock.
"About going to lunch before we go on a hunt for the perfect dress."
"Oh…Yeah. Sorry, sounds like a plan."
"Is there something wrong?"
"No, just thinking about how quick this trip has been. I'm gonna miss it." She quickly recovered.
"I know you guys are going back to Yale and we're going back to Tulane."
"It's so far away." Rory realized, in the past few days she had realized what good friends Madeline and Louse were.
"We'll visit; you Ivy Leaguers throw the best parties." Louise grinned trying to lighten the mood.
"What ever happened to the boyfriend from Harvard?" Rory questioned.
"I had a boyfriend at Harvard?"
"In October…He was freaked the Simpson's were going off the air…" Rory elaborated.
"Oh…Him…Apparently, he was a lot more into the Simpson's than I realized. It didn't last long."
"I can see why." Paris agreed.
"So, where we going to eat?" Madeline asked as a debate on where to eat began but Rory's mind drifted back to Logan pinning that girl against the wall and kissing her.
Her heart sank after their dance last night and how sweet he had been this morning when they woke up in that awkward position. She thought he maybe liked her, but apparently she was wrong. Maybe it had been her confession of being a virgin during truth or dare. Or maybe he was just being nice to her because they shared the same friends. Either way she decided she wasn't going to let it ruin her last three days there, he was just a guy…A guy that she didn't even like.
-------------------------------
"Louise, you look gorgeous!" Rory exclaimed as Louise walked out of the bathroom finally ready for her date.
"You are going to make Colin want to jump you right then and there." Madeline added.
"I like the prospects of that."
"Of course you do." Paris laughed.
There was a knock on the door and all four girls suddenly became quiet, "It's him."
"Well he did say he'd pick you up and six, and its six fifteen…The boy's smart." Rory nodded approvingly.
There was another knock "I'll get it." Paris volunteered; she swung the door open and was greeted not only with Colin but Logan and Finn as well.
"Are you guys afraid to travel alone?"
"No, it's called the buddy system. Duh!" Finn told her walking into the room and sitting on a couch.
"You look amazing." Colin told Louise as he handed her flowers.
"Thanks," Louise grinned "you don't look so bad yourself."
"Shall we get going?" Colin questioned wanting to get away from all their friends.
"Definitely."
"Have her home by midnight and no funny business!" Rory called and was rewarded with a slammed door. She just laughed, "And then there were five."
"Four, Logan here has a date." Finn said slapping him on the shoulder.
'Another one?' Rory thought to herself as her face fell but she quickly recovered, "Now I feel left out, I want a date!"
"You can be my date, love!" Finn said jumping up off the bed, "I've become rather fond of you these past few days and I'd love nothing more than your company for dinner tonight."
"Just think Finny, I almost didn't come on spring break and we would have never met. How sad is that?"
"Very! You complete me, I finally found my match! The peanut butter to my jelly!"
"The cookie to my milk!"
"The Minnie to my Mickey!"
"The oompa loompa to my Willie Wonka!"
"You're the-"
"Stop!" Logan said effectively cutting Finn off. He'd had enough of listening to Rory and Finn complete each other, for some reason it bothered him.
"You're no fun." Rory told him then turned back to Finn, "Where should we go?"
"I know this small little Italian restaurant DeAminos it's right off the beach, beautiful view."
"Sounds perfect, but I don't wanna leave Madeline and Paris alone…You guys should come with us, I'm sure Finn wouldn't mind escorting three ladies."
"Of course not, in fact…That makes it a lot more fun."
"No, you two go…We'll find something to do." Madeline insisted.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, you deserve to have a little fun…I'm sure once you get back to school you will turn back into a bookworm. Go! Have a little fun!" Paris told her smiling. She knew Rory didn't really go out much while they were at school and even if Finn was just a friend she deserved to have a little fun.
"Am I dressed properly?" Rory questioned.
Logan looked at Rory and couldn't help but stare at how good she looked in just a casual pink tank top and denim skirt. He was brought out of his trance by Finn speaking, "You look gorgeous."
A slightly blush crept up on Rory's cheeks, "Thanks."
"Now, it's about six thirty… Logan you should be leaving on your date and you two girls," He said turning to Madeline and Paris. "I'm not sure what you are doing but if it gets kinky…Call me." Finn smirked.
"Bye Finn!" Madeline said, telling him he clearly was not wanted anymore.
"I'm out of here." Logan said getting up off the bed.
"Have fun, use protection, don't give her any information that could lead to your whereabouts after spring break is over." Finn advised.
"Thanks, buddy." Logan said dryly.
"Let's go…I'm hungry." Rory said tugging on Finn's arm.
"Yeah, you should go…A hungry Gilmore isn't a pleasant one." Paris laughed.
"I'll bring you guys back some food." Rory called as the two left the room.
Paris watched the door close then turned to Madeline, "Did you see the look on Logan 's face?"
"It was sort of like someone took his puppy."
"Bet you ten bucks he goes to DeAminos with his date."
"Bet you twenty that he tries to eat with them."
-------------------------------
"Finn, this place is amazing!"
"The ladies love it."
"Always thinking of the ladies."
"It's a main priority."
"What about school? Family? Friends?"
"It goes friends, ladies, family, booze, school."
"Ladies before family?"
"My family is a little…pushy."
Rory nodded thinking about how overbearing her grandparents could be, "I can relate."
"Enough of this depressing talk," he dismissed. "What would you like to eat?"
"It all sounds amazing but I think the chicken parmesan is calling my name right now."
"Excellent choice." Finn nodded as the waitress came over.
"What can I get you?" She asked pleasantly.
"You mean besides your number?" Finn said charmingly.
The waitress gave him a look of disgust then glanced at Rory who was still perusing the menu, "He just hit on me and it doesn't bother you?"
Rory looked up and realized she was being spoken to, "Oh…We're just friends."
"In that case…" The waitress pulled out a piece of paper and wrote her number on it. "My name is Taylor and you can call me."
"Um…I don't mean to break this up but can I order?" Rory asked.
"Oh!" The waitress exclaimed. "Sorry, what can I get you?"
"Chicken Parmesan."
"Manicotti please, darling."
"Coming right up." She said before walking away.
"You couldn't have waited till I ordered my food to distract her?"
"Sorry, the opportunity was presenting itself I had to take it."
"Of course." Rory laughed.
"What a coincidence." A voice from behind them said.
Rory turned to see Logan and a different blonde than before standing next to him, "Yeah, big one." she muttered sarcastically.
"You didn't mention you were bringing your date here, Mate."
"It must have slipped my mind." He told him.
"Right, well…Would you two like to join us?"
"We wouldn't want to impose, right Shannon?"
"It's Amanda." The blonde corrected. "and Logie…Don't you want some privacy. Just the two of us." She cooed.
"Aw, now ever heard the saying the more the merrier?" Logan asked pulled up two chairs to Rory and Finn's table.
"I never really understood it."
Rory had to stifle a laugh at the blondes comment, 'Seriously, where does he find these girls?'
-------------------------------
By the end of the night Logan wanted to put his head through a wall, every time Rory would say something his date would try and say something either equally smart or witty and it was that day he learned some people just don't have that ability.
He hated that every time his ditzy date would say something Rory would just smile at the girl. It bothered him to no end that she and Finn would banter back and forth, that was their thing not Finn's. And to top the evening off his date decided she was going to try and cop a feel under the table. Paris was right, he really needed to up his standards a little.
Rory had never been a violent person, but this girl made her want to jump across that table and slap her as hard as physically possible. She'd seen people try too hard, but this girl, Amanda, was taking it to a new level. She'd reword everything Rory would say, she kept doing something to Logan under the table and if her shirt was any lower Rory was positive it would have been illegal for her to be in public.
The check came and everyone, except maybe Amanda was thanking god. "So, love your fine with a taxi?"
"Of course, who am I to stand in the way of true love?"
"Lust, not love…I don't do love."
"My mistake." Rory laughed.
"I feel bad ditching you." Finn said, contemplating if he really wanted to send her home in a taxi.
"Don't. I want you to go and have fun. I've got mace in my purse. I've got extra money and besides it's only a five minute drive. If it weren't dark I'd probably walk."
"If you're sure…"
"Finn! If you don't go now you are going to have to stay with me and Taylor is going to have to find someone else to occupy her this evening."
"I'm going!" He exclaimed kissing her cheek and walking back into the restaurant.
Logan saw Rory sitting on a bench, and Finn no where in sight when he was leaving to take Amanda home. "Hey, Rory where'd Finn go?"
"I sent him back inside so he could play with the waitress."
"You can't walk back by yourself."
"I'm not, I'm waiting for my cab."
"Why would you waste the money on a five minute ride?"
"Because I promised Finn I wouldn't walk back to the hotel."
"You can walk back with us." Logan offered.
"No, she can't!" Amanda exclaimed, causing Logan looked over and stare, "I just thought we were gonna go back to your place…We were having such a good time, I didn't want it to end." She said pushing herself towards him.
"I'm actually feeling a little sick, how about you take the taxi that was for Rory and she and we'll walk back together."
"But you were my date." Amanda whined.
"I'll call you…Sometime." He told her as he pulled money out of his wallet and handed it to her for the cab.
"You better." she said as the taxi pulled up.
Logan turned to Rory after Amanda left, "I didn't think someone could be so…"
"Trashy?"
"Her voice was so squeaky, her perfume smelled funny and I swear if she tried to put her hand down my pants one more time at dinner I was going to call the cops for sexual abuse."
"What do you expect when you pick up random girls?" Rory snapped. Her attitude towards him had been cold ever since this morning. He didn't think he'd done anything wrong.
"The girls at home are certainly not like the girls here."
"It's spring break Logan! The countries finest sluts come out to play."
"You pretty much called yourself a slut."
"I came on spring break because school was cold and rainy, not because I wanted to sleep with everyone that currently resides in Florida." Rory said shortly as she continued walking.
He grabbed her arm and gently pulled her to face him, "What's your problem?"
"I don't have one." She told him turning around.
"You've been nothing but strictly civil since we parted ways this morning. You haven't even thrown playful insults at me."
"Do you want me to insult you because it could be arranged." She called over her shoulder.
"I just want to know what I did."
"You didn't do anything."
They were already approaching the hotel and he was getting on her nerves, "I can walk myself back from here."
"I'm not leaving you alone until you tell me what I did wrong."
"Nothing! You didn't do anything wrong! You just did what I am assuming you do all year around, I'm not mad at you I'm mad at myself for thinking…I don't know what I thought but it was wrong. Ok? Now goodnight!" She practically yelled as she spun around and walked quickly back to her hotel room.
I know, I know. I should have large, pointy rocks thrown at me because not only did this chapter take me forever to get out but it was unoriginal and cliché but it had to be done to get me where I want to go. I promise the next chapter will be better. Please review.
