A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in over a week. I just had a lot going on, family problems. Well I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 24: The Aftermath

Logan kissed Rory.

Rory leaned in to the kiss; she didn't want this moment to end. It was better than the best kiss she had ever had. Suddenly she ended the kiss; she screamed and fell off his bed, which they were currently on.

Logan jumped off the bed "Rory, are you okay?" Logan grabbed her arm to help her up.

"Yes, actually no, I'm not okay." Rory said. Logan gave her a worried look. "Logan, we kissed, again."

"Yeah, I know, I was there." Logan said, with his cocky grin on.

"But I'm dating Tristan, and you're dating Nicole." Rory told him.

"No, I'm not dating Nicole yet, she made that clear this morning." Logan stated.

"But you had a date planned; something tells me that she wouldn't be that keen on us kissing the day before your first date." Rory ranted.

"I guess your right." Logan said, as he rubbed the back of his head. "But Rory, this wasn't like the last kiss, well I guess it was, I like you Rory, no, I love you Rory."

"I…I love you too." Rory said, Logan smiled and went to give her a hug and a kiss. "But, I'm with Tristan, I'm committed to Tristan, how I can break up with him on Valentine's Day, of all days."

Logan sighed, "You don't have to break up with him tonight, just hold him off until this weekend break up with him this weekend, I'm sure he'll understand, especially since he and Nicole looked like they were getting cozy this morning. I mean seriously, he was giving her a piggy back ride."

"You know what? I think your right, he did have trouble talking around her, he never got that way with me. He must really like her." Rory said with a smile.

"You're smiling, why are you smiling, you just realized that Tristan likes another girl." Logan asked her.

"Because now I don't feel as guilty about kissing you, I mean yeah, I feel a little guilty. But not as guilty as I was a minute ago." Rory smiled up at Logan and embraced him in a hug.

Tristan kissed Nicole.

Nicole leaned into the kiss and smiled. A second later they slowly broke apart.

"That was nice." Nicole smiled.

"Yeah, it was." Tristan smiled back, and then the smile faded. "Oh, crap."

"What, what is 'oh, crap'." Nicole asked with a worried look on her face.

"I'm still dating Rory." Tristan said, then he thought for a second, "and you're dating Logan."

"Oh yeah, oops, I totally forgot about Logan." Nicole said.

"Wow, you're such a good girlfriend." Tristan said, sarcastically.

"Yeah, well, I try." Nicole said with a shrug.

"So what are we going to do?" Tristan asked.

"Well, I say we don't say anything." Nicole said with a very solemn face on.

"You want me to lie to my girlfriend?" Tristan questioned.

"No, don't lie." Nicole told him.

"Ok, you lost me." Tristan said confused.

"Ok, Rory will ask you how studying went today, and you will say 'good'. She will ask you what we did; you will say what we did; just leave out the part about us kissing." Nicole reasoned. She knew that, that was technically lying, and she didn't like lying to Rory as much as Tristan didn't like it, but she also didn't want to hurt Rory's feelings.

"I don't know." Tristan sighed. 'I'm not a very good liar."

"Well did the kiss mean anything to you?" Nicole asked.

"No" Tristan answered simply.

"Ok, then you should have no problem telling her, and if it did mean something to you and you just lied to me, then mission accomplished, because I would have no idea that you were lying just now." Nicole told him. "Don't worry Tristan, you and Rory will be fine, and so will me and Logan."

"Yeah?" Tristan smiled. The truth was Tristan had lied, that kiss was more special and meaningful to him then any of the kisses he had, had with any other girl, including Rory.

"Everything happens eventually." Nicole told him with assurance

"Everything?" Tristan asked.

"Everything." Nicole confirmed.

Jess kissed Cindy.

Cindy leaned into the kiss. Jess kissed back harder. They went at it for about ten minutes, and then they needed air.

"Wow." Cindy said.

"Yes, I usually have that reaction on girls." Jess said with a smirk.

They were both silent for a moment. "So what does this mean?" Cindy asked.

"I think it means we're dating," Jess asked nervously, "I mean only if you want to."

Cindy laughed and went in for another kiss.
