Okay so i decided that i was going to add a third update so enjoy!!
Ch 11
Three weeks later, I watch as Logan packs for Boston. "It's still not too late to come with me" he says as I fold his shirt and placing it in the suitcase sitting in front of me on the bed. Lizzy is sleeping and we have one last night together before he leaves in the morning.
"Logan we discussed this and even Dr. Robinson agrees with me, we have to do this. You go to Boston for work and I trust you to behave and come home to me. That alone will help us heal" I tell him.
"But you conveniently left out the part that it's your birthday tomorrow and I how I feel guilty leaving you" he says placing the ties he was holding in the suitcase before zippering it shut.
"It'll be my birthday in 23 minutes Logan. You're here and that means more than some trip to Boston with you" I tell him as he moves the suitcase out of the way.
"I need to tell you something" he says sitting on the bed with a manila envelope in his hands.
"What's this" I say afraid of what it could be.
"This is our future" he says handing it to me. I take it and look at it and then him and he nods. I take that as permission to open it. I pull out a stack of papers with Helfix leader head on it. The last time I saw this was in California over four years ago. I look up at him completely confused.
"Jon called me weeks ago and offered me the CEO position in New York. It's exactly what I was doing in California and now I can finally leave HG for good. This is our golden ticket Ace. The entrance back to the life we wanted. No more traveling except for the quarterly board meetings. It means we can finally buy that house you want and Lizzy can have both parents home with her. This is what we have been waiting for and if it wasn't for you forcing me into therapy. I would have passed Jon up. But I know that if I leave this time, I'm not coming back. That means selling the HG stocks we own and getting a clean slate from my father finally" he says and I just stare at him. This is my Logan. The man that I haven't seen in almost a two years, the man that I fell in love with on top of the scaffolding close to seven years ago, this is Logan.
"Ace, I really need you to say something here. Anything" he says and I smirk at him.
"Is this my present because if it is you're seriously slacking Huntz. I expected better from you" I state and he just stares at me.
"No you wise ass, this is what is happening on Tuesday when I come back from Boston. Offices are already set up and employees hired, they are just waiting for me" he says.
"Okay" I smile.
"It's not the money we're used to, but I was thinking that if we move out of the city, it can work. Plus you're working and it will even things out" he begins ranting and I just lay back on the pillow smirking at him.
"What" he says finally realizing that I haven't said anything.
"Impressive, I haven't heard you rant without breathing in a while" I smile at him.
"Are you laughing at me" he questions.
"Me, no of course not. Why would I do a thing like that?" I say almost singing at him.
"Yes you are" He state before tackling me on the bed tickling me. I scream out laughing hard as he continues.
"Okay…stop I was…you win" I say breathless.
"Good, now come with me" he states standing up and pulling me off the bed.
"Where are we going" I say as he pulls me through the apartment to the balcony deck we have.
"It's cold Logan" I say as he pulls me outside.
"Two minutes Ace" he says and I survey the area knowing he's up to something.
"What in the world did you do" I say as the Empire State Building lights up in red and white like Valentines Days with a message on it. I'm completely in awe. He hasn't done something this grand gesture since the horse drawn carriage at my graduation party.
"Will you" he says and I turn to see him kneeing with a ring box.
"Logan" I say biting my lip.
"I did this all wrong Rory the first time. You proposal should have been intimate like this, just you and me and not 75 of Richard and Emily's closest friends. I know that we have been through a lot especially over the last few months but I love you Rory. I want to be your husband until the day I die. I want to be the man you fell in love with in Yale and I want you to always be the only woman in my life Ace. It's just you. You're all that I need. You're all that I want. Please let's do this the way we wanted and not what is expected. Let's fly to a remote island and get married on the beach at sunset like we always wanted. It could be everything you dreamed of or just us and Lizzy. Our family Ace, so what do you say Gilmore, marry me and jump with me one more time?" he says and I know I tears running down my face.
"You jump I jump Jack" I say crying as he gets up and grabs me into his arms and kisses me like it was the first time all over again.
Yes i know it's short but it works!!
