The envelope on her window was loosely attached to the siding and if not taken quickly would probably fall off. Rory peeled the envelope off as she brought it into her room and a small piece of parchment sat in the envelope with a short message.
Be ready at 6, I'll come for you
-Master and Commander
Rory laughed at the piece of paper-she didn't even know how she was supposed to dress for such an occasion. Knowing the little she did about Logan, however, told her to choose something more flirtatious and formal. Rory checked her watch to see how much time she actually had- it was nearly 4 o'clock. Sighing deeply, she went to the bathroom to shower and pretty herself.
The time passed quickly as Rory readied herself for whatever Logan was scheming. She had chosen a cute green cocktail dress that made her skin look brighter and her eyes 'pop'. She curled her hair loosely at the ends and wore small earrings. Right on time, a knock came at the door and Rory hurried to open it.
Logan's body looked amazing in a lavish Armani tux that seemed to make him look even sexier than before. Smiling broadly, he entered into the dorm room and surveyed his surroundings.
"You look great Rory, I'm glad you chose to go formal," he commented leading her out of the apartment byslipping her arm between his.
"Where exactly are we going?" she asked stepping into the snazzy sports car that Logan had ushered her into.
"You'll see! Don't be afraid ace, I've got you covered," he whispered into her ear making a shiver tumble up and down her spine.
She tried to avoid the fact that he was beginning to get under skin; she really didn't need this now. Rory had only been dumped less than twenty four hours ago and hadn't even really thought what it would do to her. Sure it was probably better that way, but she still wanted time to herself. Logan gave her a flashy, yet comforting grin that made her relax slightly. Her shoulders had been tense but they now felt light as if a great weight had been lifted. Dating Dean had been stressful-maybe being without him would put her body, mind and heart at ease.
As the car came to a halt, Rory looked around desperately for some sort of clue-all she could see was a deserted park. "Where are we?" she asked.
"Well Rory, why don't you come see!" he flashed a simple grin and came around to her side to open the car door. He helped her from the car and led her to a small bench not far away. She looked up to see a black sky with small glimmers of light.
"It's the stars, what about them?" she asked annoyed he'd dragged her all this way just to see the stars.
"You know, being adventurous doesn't have to involve extreme stunts you know. It's about taking risks, but also being relaxed. So, how about taking a risk?" he asked coyly and put out his hand for her to grab.
"What kind of risk?" she questioned looking around for some sort of clue.
"Ah, but that's part of the risk-not knowing what we're about to do!" he smiled again, this time pulling her to a standing position and wrapped her arms around his neck, and his arms around her waist. Slowly he began to dance with her in the middle of the park.
"How is this risky Logan? There is no one here!" she said pulling closer to him and checking the surroundings.
"So I lied. I Needed an excuse you for you to wrap your arms around me," he joked subtly making her blush.
"You know, you're a sly one!" she winked and stopped dancing. "But seriously, why did you bring me here?"
"Well Rory, I have a proposition for you," he said causing her to chuckle slightly.
"A proposition? What kind of proposition might that be?" she smiled inching closer to him.
"That of which we date each other- it's a risk I think we both should take," he said seriously.
"What? But we hardly know each other, plus there's the whole Dean thing- I don't know if I'm quite ready to da-," she began but Logan cut her off with a kiss which stopped her talking abruptly.
He held her tightly and she fell deep into the kiss as if she were Alice in Wonderland falling into the rabbit hole. The pit of the kiss was deep and sensuous making her gasp for air when they had finally reached the end.
"That was better than I anticipated. Then again, you not screaming at me and trying to kill me for kissing you is better than anything," he joked as he gave her very little breathing space.
"Unhuh…that was definitely unexpected Logan," she said in a faint whisper.
"That's what I aim for, the unexpected… and you my dear Ace are one that I hardly expected to be so sensuous with kisses- I expected you to be more of… a…Mary," he said loudly shocking her to a memory of Tristan.
She'd hardly thought of him since he left, in fact she'd forgotten him. Memories of a kiss on the piano bench and of rehearsal for Romeo and Juliet lingered on her mind. She touched her lips at the memory and was brought back to reality when Logan kissed her yet again. He was a good kisser, she had to admit, and she did like the side of her that he brought out. He was an adventure, a lot like Tristan, but different in a unique way- a way that was just for her.
She pulled away this time and looked deeply into his eyes, "You know, you remind me of someone,"
"Oh yeah, who would that be?" he chimed with his coy grin.
"That would be a boy I went to school with who pestered me beyond belief. But he was a playboy and I was so much more naïve, therefore I avoided him, much like I avoid you," she said with a slight chuckle.
"Ah, so I see I'm compared to an ex boyfriend when we aren't even dating, yet- how weird," he said with a sigh.
"I think I'm going to have to ponder about you,"
"Ponder, my you are so much cuter than I could have ever imagined. And trust me- I've imagined," he said regretting his last words. "That didn't come out right," he said as she laughed uproariously.
"Wow, talk about a stalker!" she smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "A stalker who I just so happen to have a crush on," she blushed slightly and bowed her head.
"So then that's a yes to my proposition?" he asked.
"That's a hell yeah!" she joked which caught him off guard. He had no idea what he was getting himself into and neither did she. They both, however, enjoyed the sense of adventure that they would so treacherously be adventuring on!
