Chapter 7

The next night, Finn was watched from a window as Rory entered their dorm building, evidently headed for the party being held on their floor. Uh oh. He better make sure Rory doesn't find Logan in a corner somewhere with some slut. Finn stopped short of the door. Who was he kidding? Logan hadn't so much as touched another girl since the last LADB event.

When Rory entered the common room that Finn shared with Colin and Logan, he sauntered over, trying not to act overeager. "Hey Gilmore," he said, putting his arm around her shoulder. He led her over to the couch, and had her sit down between him and Tristan.

"Rory!" he said, surprised. "I was going to call, but I was just too embarrassed. I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Rory reassured him.

"That's my Mary," he said with a smile, teasing.

"Mary?" Finn asked, confused. He handed Logan and Paris a beer as they came to sit across from them.

"Like the Virgin Mary. It was her nickname in high school." Paris explained, avoiding Rory's warning look.

"You don't say," Logan said, amused.

"Yup. I haven't called her that since she slept with the married guy though," Paris haphazardly added.

This resulted in startled looks from everyone, except Paris, who seemed oblivious to the fact that she'd been outspoken with this last statement. Rory carefully avoided Logan's eyes, but new he was smirking at her, pleased in some odd way with this last piece of information.

Just then, Rory's cell phone rang. Glad for a distraction, she answered it quickly. "Hello?"

"Hey Rory, did you borrow my red mini?" Lorelei asked.

"I don't think so," Rory answered.

"Will you go to your dorm quickand check?"

"Sure. I'll call you back when I get there." Rory hung up and slowly faced her audience. "Paris, have you seen my mom's red mini?" she asked slowly.

"Your mom wears mini skirts? Now that's a scary thought."

"Actually Finn, her mother has great legs." Everyone turned to stare at Logan.

"When exactly did you happen to meet Rory's mother?" Finn asked with a smirk.

Logan was now the center of everyone's attention. "You know what, I think I'm going to go with Rory," he said quickly heading for the door.

Rory quickly unlocked the door and headed for her room. She started searching through her draws for the skirt. Logan followed her in. "A married guy, huh," he stated with a smile.

Rory stopped what she was doing. "It was complicated," she answered, avoiding his eyes.

Logan took a step closer. "You don't have to tell me… or say anything about what happened last night either."

Rory took this as a challenge. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she said mischievously.

Logan took another step. "Yes, you do."

"Do not."

"Do too."

"Do not."

"Do too." By this time, Logan was so close she could almost feel his breath on her neck. She looked up into his eyes, as if daring him to make the first move. Once again, his lips crashed hers in a kiss that made her feel like it was the first time.

'What the hell, got nothing to lose now,' Rory thought to herself as she let everything go and allowed Logan to maneuver her onto her bed.
