Chapter 26

He likes me

Thursday evening she arrived at Logan's with a several suitcases and boxes in tow.

"Ace, you didn't have to bring your wardrobe with you today."

She gave him a confused look. "I only brought the items I couldn't live without; my shoes my books and some clothes to get me through the week the rest is coming here next week, I really didn't need to bring more clothes today since Steph, Sarah and I are going shopping tomorrow."

"I don't know if this place will be big enough." He smirked at her.

"I can always get my own place."

"No need for that, we'll get rid of my things if we run out of room."

She knew he was joking his penthouse apartment was larger than most of the homes in Stars Hollow and her walk-in closet was slightly larger than the one in Boston. "I'll have to remember that when the rest of my things get here."

He had prepared a candlelight dinner of Italian take-out and wine to celebrate officially living together.

"I think we need to continue this celebration and then start christening it to make it officially our place."

"I recall christening a few of these rooms on my numerous visits."

"It's never been christened as our place." He smirked at her.

She sat down in his lap, stared into his chocolate eyes "You're right, I think we need to change that beginning now."

The next morning she awoke wrapped in the blanket from the couch with his chest as her pillow. She attempted to move but her body felt stiff. As she tried to get up she felt his hands pull her back down.

"Good morning."

"Good morning." She responded as she leaned down and kissed him. "Although this was fun I think we need to remember next time that the floor does not make a comfortable bed."

"I couldn't agree with you more. Why didn't sleeping on the floor bother us when we were little?" He groaned as he tried to sit up.

"I don't know. What time do you have to be in the office?"

He looked at the clock "About half-hour ago."

"I'm sorry, is your dad going to be mad. If I would have known I would have brought the alarm clock in here, but than again I didn't know we would be spending a night on the dinning room floor,"

"Ace, don't worry about it. My dad will probable give me a short lecture about responsibility but when I tell him it was because of you I'm sure he'll understand."

"You can't tell him it was because of me. He'll hate me, he'll think that I'm causing you to be irresponsible. Besides I don't want him to know what we were up to, it might make him think worse of me."

"Don't worry, he loves you. I'm surprised he hasn't sent you a welcome to New York package, but that may be because he wants to do that in person when we have dinner with him tonight." He forgot to mention that he had agreed to dinner to have dinner with him when he found out Rory was moving in. "Besides, my dad may be old in some ways but I think he knows what happens between two people in love."

"Please don't tell me things like that."

"Like what?"

"That he knows what we do…together." She was getting flustered, but he loved it. She still had an air of innocence around her even though he knew she could be far from innocent when she wanted to be.

"And what is it we do when we're together?"

She was blushing, she couldn't believe she was blushing about this. "you know we have sex, make love." She said meekly.

"you're cute." He laughed at her.

"Stop making fun of me."

"I'm not, I'm just stating a fact."

"I thought you said I was beautiful."

"Doesn't mean you aren't also cute." He kissed her again but she pulled away and pulled the blanket with her as she made her way to the bedroom.

Logan felt the chilly air hit his body. "You know that blanket was covering both of us."

"but now it's only covering me." She responded back.

He ran toward her pulled the blanket from her and threw it to the ground. She felt the cold air on her body "You are so in trouble mister." But before she was able to give her full wrath he picked her up and carried her to the bathroom for a warm shower.

By the time he was ready to leave he was already two hours late. Rory looked at the clock, "So what should I bring your father so that he forgives me for making you late."

"Why are you so worried? You know he loves you and he thinks you are the best thing that every happened to me, which I agree with."

"I don't know, I guess it's that every time we have had dinner with him there have been other people around, but tonight it's just us and him. He's your father and I don't want him to think poorly of me."

"That never would happen. You could leave me for another man and I'm sure he would find a way to blame it on me."

"Yeah, that's what you say now." He stopped her from continuing with kiss.

"Be ready for seven." He said as he left their place.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"So how is it living with Logan." Steph asked as they were browsing the racks at Saks.

"Steph, we've only "lived" together for one night. Oooo…what about this" Rory asked as she held up a wrap dress."

"I know but how does it feel to say you're living together…Love it."

"Great...to both of your responses." She laughed

"I'm so happy for the two of you. I was happy when you got together but here it is almost five months have passed by and you're on love. You two are so good together."

"And Sarah, how about you and Finn. How is everything there?"

"He's great. He's really a smart guy and great at what he does but he still likes to have fun."

"So it's getting serious?" Rory asked.

"Yeah, actually I started interviewing for jobs in New York."

"Sarah, why didn't you come to me? We both work in PR, there are opportunities at my company." Steph

"I didn't want to take advantage of you."

"Please, don't be ridiculous. Business is doing great, you have experience, it wouldn't be taking advantage of me it would be doing me a favor. Besides this way we get to spend more time together." She cheered.

"Hey what about me?" Rory pouted.

"It's not my fault you decided to become a lawyer."

"As long as you remember to include me on some lunches and shopping excursions I'll be compliant."

"What if things don't work out between me and Finn, won't that be weird for you?"

"Don't worry, you two will work out."

"How do you know?"

"Just like I knew Rory and Logan would work out, I just knew." Steph couldn't explain it but she knew Logan and Finn and she could see it in them when they would talk about their girls, these were the girls for them.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rory had a great time shopping but as usually she was now running late, it was nearly seven and she still had to dry her hair and put her make-up on.

Logan walked in at seven and laughed to himself, he knew Rory wouldn't be ready in time so he lied to her, dinner with his father was at eight so they didn't have leave for a little while. He made his way to the bathroom and saw her in a tizzy trying to get ready; he wrapped his arms around her body clad only in her panties and bra. "Slow down, you don't want to hurt yourself with that." He said as she tried to put on her eyeliner.

"Logan, get away. I'm running late and I still need to finish my make-up."

"You have time. Dinner isn't till eight but we don't have to leave till seven thirty."

"You lied to me?"

"Well I wouldn't say lie, you never asked me what time dinner was at."

"You made me think we had to leave at seven."

"But I never said that, I said to be ready for seven."

She smiled at him. "You got me on that one."

"Yes! I have won an argument." He proclaimed joyfully.

"You better remember how that feels because it won't happen too often."

They both got ready and made their way to the restaurant.

Dinner went really well. What surprised Rory was when Logan had to excuse himself for a business call Mitchum told her that she was the best thing that every happened to Logan, how happy Logan was, how he didn't complain as much. She knew Logan always told her this but to hear it from him was different.

That night they laid in bed talking "He likes me, he really likes me." Rory announced.

"Who likes you?"

"Your dad."

"I know, I recall telling you that."

"Yeah, but he told me himself."

"And that makes it different."

"Yes it does."

"You're weird."

"And you love it."

"Yeah, I really do."
