AN Sorry this update is a little later in the day than usual. I was out and didn't get home till 4:00. Hope you enjoy. Disclaimer. READ FIRST CHAPTER! REVIEW. I beg of you
I lay in bed dreading the day ahead of me. Mondays are always hard, but today is the day that I have to tell Casey and Robby. I really want to tell them I just don't know how to tell them. Should I tell them right when I get to the office or wait till after work. Or maybe even tell them at lunch. If I do it at lunch do I go to a restaurant where people could possibly over hear if someone from work is there also? But that is also a problem if I tell them at work. Also what to I tell them first? My name? Or my Fiancé? Then once I tell them that I will have to explain why I did it. That could take a while because I'm sure they will be bursting with questions. Uggg I just want to skip this day.
"Ace. Wake up it's 7:35"
"Nooo I'm staying in bed all day."
"As much as I would like to join you, you and I both know you have to get up and confront Casey and Robby"
"Yea about that. How would you like to move to Alabama?"
"Why Alabama?"
"Because we watched Sweet Home Alabama last night and she lived in New York and then moved back to Alabama"
Logan had to laugh at her logic. She was truly the girl of his dreams "Ace we are not moving but you however are getting up because it is now 7:40 and you need to be at work in 20 minutes. "
Rory rolls over and sits for a second before dragging herself out of bed. Rory goes to her closet and picks out a grey pantsuit and a white blouse. Minimal makeup, and just brushed through hair. Then goes to the Kitchen to get her self a big mug of coffee that she chugs in one gulp back to the coffee pot for more.
Logan just has to laugh at that.
"Ace maybe you want to slow down"
"Didn't you once say that 'You slow down you die'" You says with her hand on her hip and the coffee in another hand
"Good point" Logan gets up and gives her a kiss
I walk in and I go strait to my desk. I talk to no one, don't even look up. Just stair at the floor till I get to my desk. Around 11:30 everybody was still there because technically Lunch starts at 12 and goes till 1 but I think we will need more time so I go and try and find Robby and Casey. When I spot them getting off the elevator I grab my purse and go to talk to them. Here goes nothing!
When I walk up to them they look at me weirdly
"Could I talk to you guys"? I was nervous and I think it showed it through.
They look at each other and nod.
"Sure" Casey says quietly
"Could we go somewhere private"
"What do you have in mind"? Robby says
"My apartment is 3 blocks away"
They look at each other again as if they could talk to each other without words
"Lead the way" Robby says
We were quiet all the way until we got to the building and the doorman said Afternoon miss Gilmore
Casey stops in her tracks as if Robby hadn't heard it because he was taking in the entire environment of the lobby in the building.
"Lori your last name is not Gilmore it's Haymore".
Shit what do I do.
"I'll explain when we get upstairs"
They don't say a word just keep walking with me when we reach the elevator they notice I press the "P" button, which signals penthouse
Once we walk into the apartment Casey starts screaming. I can tell she will be the one to convince. Robby is just in awe.
"Lori is your name Haymore or Gilmore. And how can you afford this place. You are just a rookie reporter and I know for a fact that you would never be able to afford this on your salary. Also what is going on with Logan and you? You completely ignored us when we asked you about him and yourself." She finally stopped to take a breath and then she seemed she was done I jumped in
"Lets go sit and I will explain"
I lead them to the living room where they sit on the couch and I sit on a chair
When they don't say anything I start to explain
"My name is not Lori Haymore. My name is Rory Gilmore –"
Before I can explain my full name Robby finally says something
"Gilmore is the same last name as Logan's fiancé. But his fiancés name is Lorelai. What is going on"?
"I wasn't finished. My Legal name is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore".
Before I can continue Robby again jumps in while Casey sits there completely shocked.
"Wait is your name Lorelai or Rory? And that isn't that also Logan Huntzbergers fiancés name?
"My mothers name is also Lorelai so for confusion purposes my nickname that everybody calls me is Rory. I am also Logan Huntzbergers fiancé"
"WHAT!" They both say at the same time
"SO you lied to us about your name and not to mention that you are engaged to your Boss!" Casey says standing up and starts to pase
"Yes"
"Then why lie?" Robby says a way more calm
"Because tell me the truth. You would have treated me differently because I was related to the boss on a physical and emotional level. You wouldn't have tried to watch what you say around me or tried to kiss up to me because he was the boss and I had an in with him"
They were both silent
"That's what I thought" I add
"You need to explain this more" Casey says while sitting this back down
"Is it an arranged marriage" Robby asks quietly
"No" I state Firmly
"It all started in my sophomore year of college. We had met and I thought he was a complete ass. He was arrogant and rude, not to mention rich so he thought he could get anything he wanted. Logan was right about that. He got everything until he met me and I gave him a hard time. Every time he would mention his name to a girl they would turn all flirty and want him ten times more then before. I saw right through his charm. We would fight and argue for months until I had a story and I needed an in. He was my ticket on the inside of the story. We then become more coral with each other until one night I said to myself I like Logan. We then had a stingless relationship for a bit until I told him I needed commitment and that we should break it off. He decided to commit. We dated for a while then broke up and finally got back together. After 2 and a half years of dating he proposed at my Graduation party"
"Wow" is all they could say
"Yea a lot to sink in" I said quietly
"But I still don't get why you took a pen name" Casey says
"I didn't want people thinking I got the job because he was the boss"
"But didn't you" Casey says starting to get angry again
"NO" I said a little loud and anger starting to rise
"I interviewed for the job and once I got it I told the editor and chief of the Observer what my real name was."
"Does anyone else know" Robby asks curiously
"Just you and James Fisher the editor"
"Not even Bill knows"? Casey asks shocked
"Nope"
They sit quietly for about 3-5 minutes until Robby says something
"So you are from society?"
"Yes. The way I got Haymore was I took the first part of my dads last name Haydan and the last part of my moms last name Gilmore and combined them. My parents had me at 16 so they didn't get married. However they are both from society."
Again silence fell over the room
Casey spoke up
"So what's it like to be in society and to be engaged to Logan"
Casey didn't sound mad but she had that girl talk voice on so I knew she was kinda joking but kind of serious as I knew she really wanted to know
The rest of the lunch hour I was talking about the everything that comes with society and also little things that Logan I do and have happened
AN I hope you liked it. They finally know! REVIEW!
