"So what does this mean?" Rory asked as she glanced down at the numerous papers that were spread out between her and Logan late the next day. She had spent the day writing for the gazette and Logan had spent the day on the phone with lawyers and various othe people. They were not sitting across from each other at the small dining room table in Logan's apartment.
"It means that I inherit the company." Logan said sternly. He had suspected that this is what his father would do, but he hadn't shared those thoughts with Rory. "I get all of it."
Rory leaned back in her chair and let the words sink in. "Whoa.", was all she could muster. "So you become a leader of industry.
Logan shook his head, maybe a little too ferouciously and looked at his girlfirend. "I don't want it. I don't want any of it. When Odette left and things crumbled, I finally saw my way out. My way to distance myself from the family name once and for all." He frowned as he rubbed his temples. "Of course Mitchum would do this. Always doing what he could to make sure I was miserable."
Rory leaned forward and studied Logan for a second. "Is there anything you can do, so you don't have to take it on?"
Logan sighed and shrugged. "I don't know yet. I sent copies to my lawyer, and he's going over them. I was on the phone most of today trying to figure out exactly what the logistics are." He looked at her. "This is the last thing I ever wanted. I don't want to follow in his footsteps."
Rory stood and walked around, once she was behind Logan she leaned down and wrapped her arms around his neck. Kissing his cheek she smiled softly. "I won't let you follow in your dad's footsteps." She paused. "We will figure this out." She sighed hopefully. I promise we will get through this."
Logan stood up and wrapped her arms around Rory, kissing the top of her head before resting his head on hers he smiled. "Thank you Ace." He stod there, with his head resting on hers for a few more minutes before he sighed. "What do you say we go out for dinner?" Since he had spent the last several hours dealing with contracts and his fathers will. He wanted a distraction. And he didnt want all the stress weighing down on Rory as well.
Rory smiled and nodded. "Sounds good to me. But can we go somewhere easy and just bring it back here. I have no desire to dress up."
Logan laughed at the comment and then nodded. "How about burgers?" He released her from the hug "There's a little place about two blocks away. They play really cheesey romantic movies, and have named all their burgers after actors and actresses. We can go and grab food and come back here."
"Sounds like somewhere I'd fit in. Why haven't you told me about this before." Rory excalimed as she gathered her purse and slipped her shoes on.
As they walked downstairs Logan got his car keys ready to unlock the car. Rory stopped him and shook her head. "Nah, let's walk. I'm actually feeling pretty good and its a nice evening."
Logan nodded in agreement, sliding the keys back into his pocket before wrapping his arm around Rory as they walked out of the apartment building and into the pleasent night.
"This place is amazing!" Rory exclaimed as she looked at the hundreds of movie posters plastered on the walls. There were two huge flat screen tvs at what she assumed was the front of the dining area. They were both playing Breakfast at Tiffany's. Rory was hoooked as soon as she saw Audrey Hepburn's face. She turned to Logan and very seriously said. "We're eating here."
Logan laughed and turned to the hostess. "I guess we will be eating here. A booth for two, perferably with a good view of the tv."
The hostess smiled grabbed two menu's and led the couple to a red glittery vinyl booth and got their drink orders before leaving them to peruse the menus.
Logan settled into the booth next to Rory and grinned. " I should of known that you would like this place this much."
Rory opened her menu, and studies the different burgers, sandwiches and salads named after celebrities. "Of course. We will have to bring my mom and Luke up here one day."
Logan nodded. "Maybe thatll turn Luke around and he'll start liking me again."
Rory sighed looking up at Logan and shook her head softly. "You've got it all wrong Logan, Luke likes you. He'll warm up to it eventually."
Logan nodded and opened his own menu.
