A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the long a waited updated. I had so many things I wanted to write, and had written several copies, and wasn't so sure which direction I wanted to go. But if you are wondering, I am letting my spin-off 'together Again' merge a little with this one, so you'll see the original snippet in that story, and I have just moulded it into this one so it would lead up to Logan and Rory, and not towards Tristan and Rory, like the other story was going for. I hope you like it. These next chapters will come up fast because I have written a lot of it, and had to cut short this chapter.. Well any who. Let the story begin! Much Love! Rose X
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or the Guardian. Though WOW HELLO SIMON BAKER ahahaha :D What? His cute!
CHAPTER TEN: REACQUAINTED
Logan is at ends with himself and wished that things hadn't ended with a freaked out Rory, away on hiatus somewhere in the world. No one had a clue where she went or when she would be back. Her lack of holidays in the past, had given her three months of leave. She had hidden out from everyone that knows her and had a feeling that she was especially hiding away from him. This made his stomach feel so queasy and totally uneasy. Where in the world could she possibly be?
It came down to her wigging out on him because she got scared of another repeat of his walk out on her. How was he ever going to live that down? Okay he made a mistake, but can't one even have a chance to render it back to some sort of normalcy? He just wished she would come back already so he could have the chance to voice everything out to her.
He deserved that much right? He didn't know any more what right he really had in terms of the role he would play in her life. They both went through something very difficult after he had ruined it all with his proposal. He should have realised that she just wasn't ready for such a feat.
Rory felt good to be back after two months away on hiatus. She had gone away with her best friend and secretary, Alisha Waverly to a secluded beach that her grandparents had time share in, which was absolutely perfect and exactly what she had needed. They had come back, with a perfectly nice tan, looking so lovely, healthy and well rested. Just perfect after such a busy time in their lives, and plus the whole Logan thing had put such a damper into her very much complicated life already.
She found herself stuck inside her favourite book, coffee in hand, sitting at her favourite coffee shop, her usual booth had been invaded by a group of friends that obviously took residence there since she had been away. She gritted her teeth in silence and took a booth that was up against the window, that she absolutely hated, but tolerated because she had missed her favourite cup of coffee (that was almost as nice as Luke's had been, which she rarely had any more, due to the influx of work), she even gripped the mug so tight, as if she were to let it go, it would all be just a dream. She sighed as she turned the page and took another sip of her cup.
As if she had awoken from a cloudless dream, she felt someone across from her staring, she glance from her book to check out who had trespassed on her wonderment of enjoyment. She saw familiar blue eyes smiling at her, a smirk on such beautiful lips, that she had more than once dreamt about kissing again. She was flabbergasted.
'OMG it's been like forever! Tristan, good to see you! What happened to you since you left us on that sad day! I was like sooo fawning over you! I ended up being so heartbroken that I broke it off with Dean and then ended up dating my now step cousin Jess. Yes I know that sounds weird' she laughed as she rattled on and on about what has been happening in her life.
'Oh as you know I was shipped off to military school, which had definitely set me straight with their strict routines which basically killed me!' she watched him he laughed at the memory of his cockiness at sixteen.
'Yeah I didn't think anything could be as bad as that! But boy did I learn fast! Detention or expulsion isn't even an option there, if you did something wrong, boy you were left praying you could redo it all over again' he recalled a memory of doing a set of thirty minute runs every hour which last for a week, and after that he didn't do anything bad again.
'So when did you get back to the land of the living?' Rory joked from all the stories he had told her, she sat back to hear more of his words. She liked the sound of the new older Tristan DuGray, he seemed so sensible, level headed and the type of guy she would love to end up with one day.
'I was there for two years, and I was 'all sobered up from all my shenanigan's' and I had gotten into Harvard Law, and now work with kids as a Guardian or an advocate. Have you ever watched the TV show called the Guardian withSimon Baker? Well what I do is very similar to his character, Nick Fallin. Like what he does in the show, he helps kids that need his attention or in serious trouble. It's very hard work and can be so stressful and all that, but at the end of the day, seeing all those kids and knowing that I helped them out to have better lives, it makes me feel like you wouldn't believe' he was so animated.
Rory found herself falling for him slightly. Boy was the grown up Tristan DuGray really rocked her world alright! She was fawning over him, hoping that he would ask her out.
'Rory will you see me again?' he blurted out. She stopped in all her words, and looked at him with such total happiness in his question, that she literally looked like she was about to jump out of his chair and onto him. He smirked at this.
She regained her composure, and replied 'Yes I would love that very much Tristan. How about you pick me up for lunch tomorrow? We still have a lot to discuss!'
He loved the idea, and agreed that he would pick her up at twelve-thirty at her office.
Outside lay sad blue eyes, watching the couple through the window of his car, he had been told she had arrived back today, and not that he was stalking her or anything, (which he totally was doing), the editor of the paper had told him that she was scheduled back to work tomorrow. He was ecstatic with the news, that he drove so fast towards her favourite café he knew was always her first stop when she was back in town.
He wanted to 'accidentally' bump into her there, which he had all but planned. But someone had already beaten him to it. All his tack of being all romantic and charming, and willing to taking things slow, had flown out the window with the man he saw sliding into the booth infront of her. By the looks of things, she hadn't even known he was there, until she twitch abit uncomfortably, realising that a pair of eyes were stair at her.
They should have been his blue eyes, which had tempted her away from her oasis. Not that other blond headed man. He sighed as he thought of a plan of attack for welcoming her back tomorrow to work tomorrow. He drove away knowing that it was his turn tomorrow.
