Is it Tuesday yet? No? UGHHHH. Sorry I'm better now. Ok on with the story...
Chapter 3
"Rory dear, I don't think I heard you right. You want to take a few months off after graduation to travel?" Emily asked her Granddaughter.
"Yes." Rory smiled not expecting this reaction.
"What about your 'new apartment' that you just had to move into together." Emily asked obviously angry.
"Hey Mom, hold on." Lorelai tried.
"No it's ok I was expecting this. I got access to my trust fund when I turned 21 and I haven't touched it since I started working, so that should cover rent." Logan explained nervously.
"So you're going to travel around Europe for months alone?" Richard asked.
"Dad they're adults, it's not like they need a chaperone." Lorelai argued.
"I would expect you to approve of this Lorelai."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I have to use the restroom, Lorelai come with me." Emily said ignoring the question.
"Girls always go pee in pairs. Excuse me." Lorelai said getting up.
Lorelai followed her Mother into the kitchen.
"Lorelai, did you know about this?
"I know they've talked about it, I didn't know if anything was definite or not."
"You can't le this happen."
"What? What do you want me to do about it?"
"I want you to convince Rory this is a mistake."
"Mom, she's an adult. I can't tell her what to do."
"Oh yes you can. Ever since she got involved with that boy she's not the same. She's moving in with a boy, who she isn't married to. She's going to Europe instead of working and making a career like she should be doing. And God knows what else." Emily yelled.
"The boy's name is Logan and he's her boyfriend and he loves her in case you haven't noticed. So I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon."
"Lorelai, she went to Yale to get a good education, so she could have a good career, traveling around Europe for months is not doing that. It's irresponsible."
"Mom, would you lower your voice?" Lorelai pleaded.
"No I will not lower my voice, Lorelai. I do not approve of this."
"Really I hadn't noticed." Lorelai said sarcastically.
"Lorelai this is no time for jokes."
"Mom, I'm not discussing this with you anymore. Rory, and Logan for that matter are old enough to make there own decisions. Going to Europe for a few months with her boyfriend that she loves, is hardly being irresponsible. She will go to work, she's worked hard to get where she is and so has Logan. They deserve some time off before they jump into working for 12 hours a day."
"Lorelai you need to be her Mother right now, not her best friend."
"Well I'm sorry Mom, but I'm both. And don't you think it's time you got past the whole marriage thing? They're only 21, they have a lifetime to get married."
"I was 21."
"She's not you Mom." With that Lorelai left her Mother alone in the kitchen.
Logan sat at the dinning room table with his head in his hands until Rory Took his hand in hers.
"I'm sorry." Richard apologized for his wife.
Richard didn't exactly approve of what Rory was doing, but he liked Logan and he trusted him with his Granddaughter. He knows that Logan will take care of her.
"It's ok."
Lorelai walked in and spotted Logan, she knew he heard everything and she felt horrible.
"Maybe we should all go." Luke suggested.
"I think that's a good idea Luke." Richard agreed.
Richard then walked everyone to the door and said goodnight.
"Another fun night at the Gilmore mansion." Lorelai joked.
"Mom."
"I'm sorry, just trying to lighten the mood. Hey how about you guys come over and we'll get some pizza, rent some movies and rot our stomachs?" Lorelai suggested putting her arm in Logans.
"Thanks, but I think I just wanna go home."
"Yeah, it's still early, we can get some unpacking done." Rory said.
"Ok, well call if you need anything." Lorelai said giving Logan a hug.
"We will."
Lorelai felt bad for Logan. He grew up in a family like Lorelai. But instead of running from it he took advantage of it, he embraced it. Doesn't mean he liked it. He wanted to grow up in a family that cared, that asked questions, not just hand out money. When he found Rory, he knew he had found that part of his life that was missing.
The car ride home was quiet.
"Logan I'm sorry about what my Grandma said."
"I know, it's not your fault."
"I know, but I still feel bad."
"Don't worry about it, lets just go home."
"Yes, our home." Rory smiled.
They arrived back at the apartment ready to unpack.
"I can't believe how much shit we've accumulated." Logan said looking at all of the boxes.
"I know."
"Of course 89 of it is books." He teased.
"Hey, you read them too."
It was 12:00 AM Rory was washing her face and Logan was in their bed waiting for her.
'Their bed.' Rory thought and smiled.
He was waiting for her in their bed. Rory stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself and tried to remember a time where she was happier. She couldn't.
She smiled at this.
The day Rory met Logan was the day her life was changed. The way she looked at life was changed. She wanted to take chances, live life to the fullest. She thought about what her Grandmother said about her being irresponsible going to Europe for a few months. She didn't think it was irresponsible. She saw it as taking a chance. She experienced Europe twice. Once with her mother, and the other with her Grandmother. Both very different experiences. She wanted to experience it with Logan.
Rory had never encountered a more amazing person in her life other than Logan. She could sit and talk to him for hours about everything and nothing at all. The most random things became interesting. And trusting him was the easiest thing she's ever done. He listens to her. He talks to her. He doesn't care about her coffee addiction; in fact he goes out every morning to get her some before she wakes up. And he's not a morning person.
Rory put her face cloth in the laundry basket that was overloaded. She made a mental note to do laundry tomorrow. She turned the light off, walked into the bedroom and saw the most beautiful site. Logan shirtless in bed, reading with his glasses on.
He looked up when he heard her.
"Hey there Ace, you comin to bed?" He asked putting his book on the nightstand.
"Yeah, I'm coming." She smiled.
"You know it's a good thing we put the bed together or we'd be sleeping on the table." He joked as he put his glasses away.
"Well we know it's durable." She said laughing as she hopped into bed.
"Goodnight." Logan said as he kissed her lightly.
"Night." She said resting her head on his chest.
"I love ya Ace."
"I love you too."
Rory woke up the next morning with the sun beaming in and a note stuck to Logan's pillow. It read....
Ace,
Went to Luke's for coffee. Be prepared to make my ass feel better after Miss Patty grabs it.
I love you.
Rory laughed at her Boyfriend.
"Sure, he goes to get the coffee and leaves me to unpack. Real slick."
Another authors note, thank you to everyone reading again! Now about the whole trust fund thing cause I know something will be said, I know that most people don't get access to them till the age of 25, but for the sake of the story lets pretend Logan is special and gets it at 21. LOL. And also I have no idea if Matt actually wears glasses, but I have a thing for shirtless blonde guys wearing glasses. And thank you to Chris for the little bed scene.
