Rory Gilmore spends summers with her grandparents either the Hayden's or the Gilmore's alternately. Spring and winter breaks are the same so her mom can work at the Inn and not have her underfoot. It is not that her mother minds but it does make work harder. This story is totally AU and Rory is the same age as Logan and friends so are Paris and Tristan.
Disclaimer: I don't own them just like to borrow them for my musings. Don't own anything Beatle related either just find some lyrics and titles very inspiring.
A/N: I am so happy with the response, reviews and following of this worl. Thank You All!

Chapter 8 – The Other Talk
It had been over a month since Rory and Lorelai had had the sex talk and Rory had been fit with an IUD, she and Logan had been getting closer and everyone who saw them presumed they were doing 'it'. They were always in close proximity, his hand on her back, her hand on his leg. Always it seemed a part of them was touching. If they had the same class and had a test they sat on opposite sides of the room so they weren't distracted by each other. Every bit of their relationship was getting more intense.
"Hey girlie! Looks like you got kissed and more before getting accepted to Yale!" Steph cornered her in the girls bathroom.
Rory blushed, "Well sure we kiss and, you know, do stuff, but that's it no 'more' I am still a Mary."
Steph looked at her unbelieving, "You mean you guys are that touchy feely and still have yet to do the deed?"
"We are waiting, you know taking things slow." Rory looked around nervously, hoping the stalls were empty.
"Don't worry girlie, I totes checked before I started, wouldn't want Logan's rep ruined." She winked and Rory relaxed.
"I know we have been together for 6 months now and I even got an IUD, I just don't know if I am ready and he is OK with that, I think." Rory said that last part almost doubtfully.
"You think? Haven't you guys, you know, had the talk?" Steph was perched on the sink her legs swinging lazily.
"Yes, no, kinda, I mean we get a little ahead of ourselves and we stop, take a break, talk a little then the cycle repeats. It feels weird to sit him down and talk about it. What do I say, 'Hey Logan got a minute, I got an IUD and thought we should see where we are on the actually having sex thing.' It just seems so unromantic, mechanical you know. How did you and Tristan talk about it." She looked at her friend while leaning against a stall.
"We haven't I was hoping to gain some knowledge from you. I figured with the way you and Logan are always all over each other you had to be going at it like rabbits." She scoffed. "Look at us two virgins trying to get sex tips from each other, pathetic."
The girls laughed and exited the restroom to join the rest of their friends for lunch. The conversation they had played heavily in Rory's head for the remainder of the day.
"Mom, you home?" She waited and didn't hear any reply. She dumped her stuff in her room, changed to jeans and a sweatshirt then went to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee, where she found a note.
"Sorry sweets, duty calls, I will be at the Inn all night, there is money under the monkey lamp, try not to overstudy and get some junk food. Love ya!
Yup, that was typical of her mom, weird notes and a smiley face. She leaned on the counter, she had really wanted to talk to her mom first, but that wasn't an option, so she picked up the phone.
"Mom's out 'til late tonight want to come over?" She said by way of greeting.
"Ace, you are asking your boyfriend of many months if he wants to come over to your unchaperoned house. You are joking right? I'll be there in twenty." She heard him laugh as the line went dead.
Well that was easy, now I just hope we can keep our distance long enough to have that talk. She decided to order Chinese and grabbed more coffee plopping down in front of the TV with her math homework and was so caught up in it she didn't notice her boyfriend come in carrying the takeout she had ordered.
"Ace, I have told you, the door really should be locked when you are home alone, anyone can just walk in. That's not safe babe." He set the food down and pulled her off the floor and into his arms for a hug and deep kiss.
She pulled away and took a deep breath, "Logan, we have to talk."
He looked at her surprised, "Ace - if you are breaking up with me, that kiss was so misleading."
"Logan sit down please, this is serious." She indicated the sofa and moved the food to the kitchen. "Talk first, eat first or try to talk and eat together?" She called out as she unloaded the bag.
"We can do both, by the weight of that bag you are hungry and I recall that means a serious talk." He remembered when her grandfather had been sick awhile back and he had never seen her eat more, she even ate the salad he bought.
She brought in a tray with the various containers, chopsticks, soy sauce and plates, they piled their plates high and sat cross legged at the coffee table to eat. She had eaten two crab rangoons and an eggroll and he was looking at her concerned.
"Ace, what's up, is everyone OK, you haven't eaten that fast since your grandpa was sick?" He began.
She carefully chewed the orange chicken she had popped into her mouth then swallowed, "Well, I wanted to talk to you about" she paused and bit her lip then ate a few more pieces of chicken and absently ate three pieces of broccoli.
"About..." He prompted and she took a swig of her soda.
"Whendoyouexpectustohavesex?" She spoke quickly and her tone was soft if he hadn't been listening so carefully and used to her evasive manner of speaking he would have missed it.
He let out a deep breath, and chewed on some pepper beef then swallowed, "Whenever you are ready, and I can tell by the way you said that you aren't ready. I love you Ace, I never want you to feel uncomfortable, pressured or as if I only want to have sex with you. In all the time we have been together have I ever made you feel rushed or used?"
Her eyes were wide and her mouth hung open, she took a moment to compose herself, "you LOVE me? Did you really just say you LOVE me, like you are in LOVE with ME?!"
Logan considered what he had just said and yeah he had said he loved her, and yeah he did, "Yes Ace, I LOVE you, I love the way you study, and laugh, banter with your mom, are completely harassed if someone offers you fruit, but really love it anyway. I know you enjoy salads and rainy days and that although your mom can smell snow you can tell that rain is on the way. I LOVE YOU Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden III. Now I am seventeen and I am not without experience with the fairer sex, but I have never loved any girl before and I feel in my being that I LOVE you. So yeah, I will wait until you are ready, until you are comfortable and until you want me as badly as I want you, because I LOVE YOU!
Rory had stood during his talk and was now pulling him up to meet her, she threw her arms around his neck and said, "Thank you, I LOVE you too, Logan Elias Huntzberger the only, you are my heart and I love the way you joke, how you treat our friends with such respect, how you are the first guy in line to open a door. You are kind, generous and so smart, and I LOVE you!"
She punctuated it with a kiss and soon they found themselves entangled on the couch in a heated makeout session. After a while they slowed and kisses became softer, less urgent and even comfortable. She lay her head on his chest.
"So this is Love, I think I am going to like being in love with you." She kissed his chest and arranged herself to get off of him.
She returned to her side of the table and began to eat again, her hair was mussed, her cheeks flushed and her lips swollen with their kisses, he even noticed a love bite on her shoulder where her neck and shoulder joined, he hadn't meant to do that it would piss the hell out of Lorelai, but he liked it there just the same, it meant she was his, she trusted him enough to be that close. They finished their meal in silent contemplation.
"Logan" she said as they packed up what was left over.
"Yeah Ace" He said as he handed her containers to place in the fridge.
"Spring Break, let's go to Fiji, your parents have a place there right?" She said closing the door and moving to make fresh coffee.
He watched her, the motions were smooth but calculated, "Yeah, Fiji is great for spring break the guys will love it."
"No guys, just you and me. I want the first time we make love to be in the most beautiful place I can think of and that means Fiji.
His heart raced and his hands felt sweaty, "You want me to make love to you, over spring break in Fiji?"
She turned and faced him, "I'm not afraid anymore, I love you, I am protected, you would never hurt me. So yes, I want you to take me to Fiji and do with me what you will." She had her arms wrapped around him and she kissed him for all he was worth.
"You aren't afraid, you were afraid, of what and how are you protected?" He held her by the waist and looked at her with concern in her eyes.
"Logan, every girl is afraid of sex the first time, that's why so many get drunk, we are afraid of the pain and what if the boy is a jerk and she was just a conquest she just gave herself, her deepest self to someone who really didn't want more than sex. I always wanted my first time to be with someone I loved who loved me as much, I just now thought of Fiji because the idea of being in a tropical paradise naked in your bed really appeals to me. As for protection, we will still need a condom for assurity, but I have an IUD so that's covered. How does that sound to you, I mean I know the break is a few weeks away but it's not terrible, we have finals and the spring fling and..." She was quieted when his lips crashed to hers.
They stopped and he held her close then pulled back with his hands still on her waist, "Did we really just plan to have sex in Fiji over spring break?" He was incredulous.
"Uh huh and I am really excited about it, I will leave the details to you but I am so ready for this step, with you. I love you." She leaned in and kissed him sweetly only stopping when the timer indicating coffee was done chimed.
She poured them each a cup and they sat on the dining table.
"Did you need help with that math I interrupted?" He asked then took a sip of the rich brew.
"No, I am almost finished; it's not due 'til Friday anyway. You need help with anything, I know you have that Shakespeare essay, I can proof it for you." She was calm and grinning at him, "You know Logan, that could be our code, Fiji, then you will know exactly what I mean.
"What do you mean code? I thought I was taking you to Fiji for your first time." He looked at her bewildered.
"Well if I want to before we go, you will know and after Fiji when I am in the mood..." He caught on and pulled her off the chair and on to his lap.
"What if I am in a Fiji mood, can I ask?" He said with a wolfish leer.
"You may ask, but I reserve the right to decline." She snuggled into his neck. "I Love you and I can't wait to go to Fiji with you."
He held her and stroked her hair, "Me too Ace, Fiji will never be the same again."
