Chapter 11 It's Not Natural, Or Tropic

When Rory got out of the shower, she found Logan asleep on the bed. She quietly got changed and left, making sure not to slam the door. She walked down the hall and stopped short as Jess greeted her.

"Hey Rory, thanks for inviting me!"

"Hey! We're you headed?"

"Well, I asked the desk which room you were in, so I was going to come and surprise you."

"Oh.... It's good that I caught you then..... There's something I need to tell you."

Jess waited expectantly, but realized Rory was being hesitant, and wouldn't spill unless forced. "Okay, what is it?" Jess asked, sitting down on the floor, back against the wall.

Rory followed his lead, and sat down next to him. "um, I'm kind of.....sharing a room with Logan."

"What?"

"Well.... I kind of made the mistake of letting him book my room for me." Rory blushed.

"What makes him think he has the right to make you share a room with him?" Jess asked angrily.

"Well, we're sort of dating," Rory managed to utter. She felt uncomfortable talking in this way to Jess.

"Are you guys like.............?" Jess trailed off, uncomfortable. They sat silently for a while. "Hey, do you wanna go get some coffee or something?" Jess finally asked, breaking the silence.

"Sure," Rory smiled and she and Jess walked to the cruise ship's restaurant.

Jess slid into a booth across form Rory, and the sat silently for a minute, until two guys slid into the booth next to Rory.

She jumped, surprised. "Finn, Colin, this is Jess," she introduced.

"Yah, we know," Finn said, studying him. "Do you know where Logan is?" he finally asked.

"Asleep." Rory answered.

"Tired him out already, eh?" Finn smirked, elbowing Rory suggestively.

Rory coughed, and turned her attention towards a figure standing in front of them. Marty. "Hey guys, this place is huge, isn't it?" he asked uncomfortably, sitting down next to Jess.

Rory smiled, glad for a change in topic. Everyone continued to talk animatedly until the waitress came to take their orders.

"Can I just have a coffee please?" Rory asked.

The waitress frowned. "We don't serve coffee on the ship. We only have foods and beverages that are either natural or tropic."

Rory nearly fainted.
