Chapter 10 The Date

Logan was on time to pick up Rory as per usual. They were in the back of his town car, with Frank driving, when Logan asked if she had a curfew? She laughed and told him no. The boys are with her dad and he will drop them off with Karson at the house when they finish visiting. Logan told her good. He had a surprise. He told her they were going to New York. He explained that he wanted to surprise her with the trip, but thought she should at least know that New York was the destination in case she needed to make other arrangements for the boys.

Rory was grateful that Logan thought about the boys. It is important that Logan and the boys get along. As much as she loves Logan, this would not work if they didn't get along. She explained that to him. He told her that he understood. She also told him that Billy would be face timing soon. She told him of the agreement, that they each get to meet whoever will be spending time with the boys and be a partner to the other. Logan told her he understood, but hoped he would be calling soon. He didn't want this hanging over them all night.

She smiled and said, "Well I could speed it up" She got her phone and Facetimed Billy.

Billy answered. "I thought I was calling you. Wow, you look great. Logan must be taking you somewhere fancy."

"Hi, Billy." Rory answered. "I called you because the boys are with my dad. He is dropping them off with Karson after his visit. I didn't want you to call the house and not get an answer or get Gigi or Karson."

"That's fine. I will call your dad when we finish our call." He told her.

While Rory and Billy were talking, Logan asked Frank to pull off at the next available space.

"Billy, Frank has pulled off the road so I'm going to introduce you and Logan then Logan is going to step out of the car to talk with you, while Frank and I discuss where we are going tonight." She said as she winked at Logan.

Rory was smiling as she scooted over close to Logan so Billy could see his face. "Billy this is Logan, Logan this is Billy. Be nice." She told them.

Logan smiled at Rory as he was opening the door and told Frank "Don't tell her all my secrets"

Rory and Frank discussed his children and Rory told her about hers. Rory had always liked Frank and Frank had great affection for Ms. Rory.

After about 10 minutes, Logan opens the door and hands Rory the phone. She took it and looked at Billy looking back at her. "Well, I'm going to hang up now and call the boys. Rory, I would still like to talk with Logan face to face, but for now, it is okay for you to introduce him to the boys. Have fun tonight and tomorrow. Tell the boys I love them. Bye" Billy said, then the screen went blank.

She slipped the phone into her purse and smiled at Logan "I didn't hear threats or shouting."

"I don't have a problem with Billy." Logan told her. "He is your ex-husband and the father to your boys. He will be a part of my life as long as I am a part of your. I intend to be around for a long time. I am with you now. There is no turning back…. Rory, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Get that shocked expression off your face. I am not proposing…. Yet." He smirked. "I'm just trying to tell you that I'm all in. I am in for the long haul. I want to get to know your boys. I want to get to know you again. I even want to get to know Billy"

Rory just smiled and giggled. She was doing a lot of that lately. "Good, because after tomorrow, there is no turning back."

The rest of the ride to New York they discussed Honor and her family, Lane and her family, Christopher and Gigi, her mom, and Luke. Logan and Rory agreed to get all of this out before they got to New York. Logan tells Rory he had plans and discussing anybody but him and her was out of the question.

Rory could see the skylines of New York. She was admiring the view, all comfortably smuggled in Logan's arm when he had her sit up and he pulled a blindfold out of his pocket.

"Logan!" Rory said. He smirked at her and she thought better of protesting. Some things about Logan would never change. "Just please be careful with me. I didn't need a broken ankle to go along with my arm ankle." Logan raised an eyebrow. She started laughing, "Will could not remember what it was called." Logan nodded his head, but she could see the confusion on his face.

After tying the blindfold, Logan and Rory just sit back, cuddling up again as the car moves along the busy streets of New York. She told him about the SUVs that she bought today. She told him that they would have to use the Escalade Sunday because her Range Rover would not be ready until Monday and she had already told Karson she could take the Jeep to visit friends.

When the car pulled into the underground garage, Rory could tell the change. When they stopped, Frank opened the door. Logan got out and helped Rory out. He carefully guided her to the elevator. They were on the way to Logan's penthouse. Rory was smiling when they got in the elevator.

"This is not a restaurant. This is your apartment building." She told him. "Hope you don't plan on taking me up there and killing me. Frank knows where I am. He will tell the authorities."

Logan laughed, "Nope, Frank works for me. Even if he likes you better. No, Ace, I'm not taking you to my apartment to kill you, but those reporter instincts are still sharp."

They stepped off the elevator into Logan's penthouse. Logan closed the door and kissed Rory on the lips, very gently. She felt for him and returned the kiss, not so gentle. After breaking away for air, Logan said. "Ace, I would love to continue this, but it would delay my surprise." He reached up and pulled the blindfold off. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw a beautiful apartment with the dining room table set for two.

"Logan, this is wonderful. I would ask how you pulled this off, but I'm sure you had help." She said,

"Yes, I did. He pulled the chair out for her and she sat down. The caterer brought the food and wine out and asked if there was anything else. Logan told him no and thanked him, telling him that he was dismissed.

After eating, Logan gathered the plates to take to the kitchen, "Hey Ace," He said when he was at the kitchen door. "Do you want dessert?"

She smiled and said, "Sure, what kind of dessert are you talking about?"

Logan smirked and said, "Slow it down. I am talking about blueberry cheesecake"

Rory blushed. "Oh" She was embarrassed.

Logan chuckled "I'll get the coffee and cheesecake; you go have a seat on the couch."

They sat on the couch and ate their dessert, still talking about everything and nothing. After dessert, there was a knock on the door. Logan turned to look at the door and then back at Rory. "Answer it." He told her. She jumped up and almost ran to the door. She was sure she knew what her surprise would be. She opened the door to Finn, Collin, and Stephanie yelling "SURPRISE" She was right.
