Chapter 10 Costa Rica, Here We Come!

"Would you hurry up Rory? You've gone over that list five times already!"

"Alright, alright. Now you're sure you booked our rooms?"

"Yes, okay. Can we go now?" Logan asked in an exasperated voice.

"Fine," Rory answered as she walked out the door. Logan grabbed her duffle bag and carried it to the mustang he had parked outside. "Aren't you worried about leaving your car at the airport for a week?" she asked uncertainly.

"Naw. There's plenty more where that came from." He smirked.

They got into the car and headed for the airport. "So, I can't believe your grandparents got separated in the first place."

"Yah, me neither. Grandma even went on a date!" Rory shivered at the thought. "I think that's what made her realize what she was doing was wrong though."

Logan changed the subject, seeing how it was making Rory uncomfortable, and for the rest of the car ride they went back and forth in their usual banter.

"Now boarding rows 1-15, now boarding rows 1-15."

"Come on, that's us." Logan said, as he got up from his seat and offered his hand to Rory. They gave the attendant their tickets and boarded the plane.

Rory took the window seat, and Logan followed her into the row. "How come Finn and Colin are on a different flight?" she asked as they got settled.

"You try waking them up at 7 in the morning to catch a 9 o'clock flight!"

"Okay, I guess you're right."

Logan reached into his pocket and pulled out a HUGE bag of chocolate M&Ms and tossed them into Rory's lap. "Bless you," she smiled, kissing him quickly before giving the bag of junk food her complete and undivided attention.

"Costa Rica, here we come!" he whispered as the plane lifted off the ground.

The drive to the cruise ship was long and hot. Once they arrived at the humongous dock, Lorelei came running over. "Oh my god! The ship is huge! And beautiful! I've got to go unpack my things, but… see that booth over there?" she said pointing. "That's where you sign in and get your room key." Lorelei turned and left.

Logan walked up to the booth. "Gilmore"

The woman at the desk typed the information into the computer. "One bed and bath? King size?"

"Yup."

The woman handed him a key and had a guy bring over one of those rolling cart things. (ha ha ha)

Logan took the cart, put his and Rory's bags on it, and started rolling it up the platform and onto the ship. For the first time since Logan had checked in, Rory spoke. "Logan, is it just me or did you scheme so that I'd be stuck in the same room as you for a week."

Logan smirked at her. "Whatever do you mean?"

"I mean, I told you to get two rooms."

"Yes, but one for two was so much cheaper," he reasoned.

"Since when have you been worried about money?" she asked, serious.

"Look, I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like we haven't already—"

"I invited Jess to this thing. I don't want to upset him!" Rory interrupted.

"Don't worry. You guys just decided to be friends, remember?"

"I guess you're right." Rory sighed as Logan reached to unlock the door. Once inside, Rory collapsed onto the bed. Slowly, she got back up. "I need a shower," she exclaimed as she headed for the side door, which led to the bathroom. She turned around. "Alone," she added, making Logan stop in his tracks.

So, whatdya think? I'm trying to go slower, I really am. I could use suggestions for what happens on the ship though. Ideas anyone? Just hit the little arrow button next to SUBMIT REVIEW and talk to me. :)
