AN. I'm back. I hope you like this Chapter. I have Rory's Outfit on my blog. Link in profile. Disclaimer: blah blah blah BLAH! If you need one reread the other ones.
PLEASE REVIEW! Makes my day. I check like 5 times a day to see if I got a review. SO PLEASE REVIEW!
I was so nervous, I honestly don't know why. I have been to so many of these Galas with Logan. It might be that there will be a lot of press their witch means of Monday I will have Gossip Brigade ALL OVER ME! I honestly could care less with what they thought. What bothers me is that they have nothing better to do than pick on me. I'm adult this shouldn't be happening.
"You ready"? Logan asked bringing me out of my thoughts.
We were at the place where the event was being held and I knew as soon as I stepped out of this car the cameras would be going crazy.
"As ready as I'll ever be"? I answered with a deep breath. Logan grabs my hand and opens the door.
60 feet till we are inside. Just smile. That's what you tell yourself when you're at a red carpet event.
Finally inside, probably about 230 people at the event.
"I'm going to get a drink and say hello to some people. Wanna come or find our seats? We should be sitting with the 3 winners and my Parents".
"I will go find our seats. No interested in talking shop. Could you bring me back a martini"?
"Sure, see you later." Gives me a kiss and leaves.
So I'm standing there in a knee length navy form fitting dress, with a caged neckline and black belt and black shoulder details. Black peep toe sandal heels. With a simple black clutch. My hair is curled and my makeup is natural as usual.
Time to face the music, move your feet Rory. Find the table. As I walk I notice that there are already three people at my table. They must all be the Winners.
Jessica Lyon, Chelsea Victors, and Jacob Aubin. The 3 winners are all excellent writers.
As I sit down I generate how to approach them.
"Hello, I'm Rory Gilmore" By the confused looks on their faces they must not know who I am. I'll tell them once the introduce themselves.
"I'm Chelsea Victors" Chelsea was probably a senior in college. Red, curly hair. She is wearing an Orange V neck dress.
"Nice to meet you Chelsea, I have read your work. You're an amazing writer"
"Oh thanks"
"I'm Jessica Lyon" Jessica had long blond hair and again it was curled. She was wearing a royal blue sweetheart neckline dress.
"Hi Jessica, nice to meet you. Your from California right"?
"Right, How did you know that"?
"I'll tell you in a little bit"!
"Hi I'm Jacob Aubin. Nice to meet you" Jacob had a little scruf and had brown curly hair.
"Nice to meet you to"
So after shaking everyone's hand I sit down. I see Logan out of the corner of my eye, probably talking to one last person before coming to sit down.
Before I was going to tell them I was Logan's Fiancée this Jacob character starts talking.
"So, Rory did you come here with a date"?
I had to smile at his forwardness
"Yes I did actually"
"So who's the lucky man?"
I think by now the girls figured out who I was because we only had 3 more seats at the table.
"He will be here soon"
Before Jacob could get another word in stuff comes up behind me.
"RORY YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!"
"Thanks Steph, You look AMAZING too". Steph was wearing a strapless black cocktail dress with gold detailing. Black heels with an ankle strap and a gold clutch. Steph has always been daring with her style.
"Are Colin and Finn here?"
"Yes they are refilling drinks. They have an idea for LDB" Steph gives me a scared look.
"Oh No" I state worried
"Oh yes. I can't tell you but promise I will be there when they tell you"
"Come on tell me. Ask them yourself." Steph states as she sees Colin and Finn walking up
"Rory, Love have you seen your Date? We are looking all over."
"Tell me the idea and then maybe I'll tell you where Logan is"
"Ror, you know you love us, and we love you so I think we will let Logan Tell you because you may not love us anymore" Colin says calmly
"Colin McCrae, Finnegan Morgan, so help me god that boy will be alive at the end of this. Last year when he was hurt it was the scariest thing in my life. So tell me NOW!
"Love, Monster Trucks in Cuba" Finn Says with a giddy smile.
"NOOO. Are you insane?" I can't believe they are still like 4 year olds. I know this is a reunion for our class but this is insane.
Logan walks up behind us. Maybe he can talk so sense into them.
"What seems to be the problem Ace?"
"Monster Trucks". Steph answers for me. I am in shock
"Oh YES! Where"? Oh great no Logan is in on it now! I will never win.
"Cuba, 4 day trip" Colin answers.
Mitchum comes and interrupts us
"It's time to take our seats. Nice to see you everyone"
"We will talk about this later. I say through my teeth" I then turn and sit down again.
"Here you go Ace" He hands me my martini and I am so happy I need a drink after the conversation.
"Thank You" I then kiss him.
"Hi I'm Logan Huntzberger"
Jacob looks absolutely shocked that he is my dates.
"Jessica Lyon"
"Chelsea Victors"
When It's Jacob's turn he just sits there with his mouth open, the girls and I try to suppress our giggles. Oh boy, will this be an interesting month working with them all.
After a moment of silence Logan speaks.
"And you are"?
"Oh J-Jacob Aubin".
"Nice to meet you all. I'm guessing you have all met my Fiancée Rory" They nod.
We make small talk till it's time for speeches and then it will be dinner. Logan had volunteered to make a speech instead of his father, since he was running the paper that would be hosting the interns.
The MC was introducing Logan. He wouldn't practice with me so I have no idea what the speech is about.
"Hello everyone. Thank you all for coming to this event tonight. To honor so of the top journalist in our college's throughout the country. This is the first year that HPG has done this. My fiancée recently just graduated from Yale with journalism major. The idea came to me about having some interns. I knew that she would have been a perfect candidate a few years ago. The thing that makes her writing so good is that she is driven. To be come one of the bests you need to be driven and focused. Those are only a few that make Rory up. The winners of this contest wouldn't have been able to win with out being driven or focused. I hope to see them grow as a person and a journalist over this next month, just as I saw through out college with my fiancée. I hope everyone has a great evening and thank you to the contestants for being here with us. Thank You" Logan walks off stage and everyone goes into a huge applause.
I can't believe that I was the reason he had done this. I really am marrying the perfect man.
The rest of the night went really smoothly. On Monday the interns will be starting, and the papers will be out with pictures. Oh how I can't wait for Monday. Right now I will see it as bittersweet. Working with these great people. Then listening the Gossip Brigade.
AN. I hope you liked this chapter. I have everyone's outfits and then also what the interns look like on my blog. Link in Profile. PLEASE REVIEW! It really does make my day.
REVIEW!
