Chapter 10
Rory and Lorelei are sprawled out asleep on the couch in the living room. Rory groans as she's awaken by the ringing of her cell phone. Rory lazily grabs her phone and flips it open.
"Hello?" Rory says still half asleep.
"Hey, Ace."
"Logan?"
"Did I wake you?"
"Yes you did and it wasn't in a very nice way."
"It's one o'clock in the afternoon."
"Me and my mom stood up all night and talked about everything."
"Everything?"
"Everything."
"How bad does she hate me?"
"She doesn't hate you. Your dad, however…..that's a different story. She was actually impressed that you stood up to your dad."
"Ya, me too. Well, I'm on my way. Is that ok?"
"Ya, perfect. Now hurry. I want to see you."
"Well, I can only go so fast before I get a ticket. I'm trying. I want to see you too."
"Ok. So see you in a bit?"
"I'll see you in a bit. And tell your mom I said sorry."
"She knows."
"Just tell her. I sorta feel like crap right now."
"Alright. Now hurry."
"I'll try. Bye."
"Bye."
Rory closes her phone.
"Who was it?" Lorelei groans.
"Logan. He's on his way."
"Oh. I better get up then." Lorelei says as she tries to get off the couch.
"And he said he was sorry…..for what his father said."
"I know."
"He just wanted me to tell you."
"He seems really sweet."
"He really is." Rory smiles.
"I guess first impressions really don't do justice."
"No."
"Well, I'm gonna jump in the shower.
They both go separate ways to get ready for the arrival of Logan.
Logan arrives at the house a while later. He walks to the door and knocks on it. He hears a "coming" from the inside and the pitter patter of people running towards the door. He then hears a thud on the door like someone had ran into it. He hears muffled voices from inside. Rory then opens the door out of breath but with a smile on her face.
"Hey." Rory pants.
"Hey, Ace."
"Come on in."
Rory opens the door wider to let Logan in. Logan steps in and sees Lorelei, also out of breath.
"Mom, you remember Logan."
"How could I forget? How are you, Logan?"
"I'm good. A little embarrassed after last night, but I'm good. How are you?"
"I'm good, thank you."
"And I just wanted you to hear it from my mouth, I'm truly-"
"It's ok. No need for groveling. It's the first time I've been bad mouthed about. I can handle it. And Rory told me that you stood up for me to your dad. Thank you."
"It was nothing."
"Yes, it was. In the world we grew up in, you never talk back to the money supplier."
"Yeah, cause then they'll threaten to cut you off." Logan says, knowing what Lorelei means.
"But they never do."
"Right. And the thought of being cut off is just as bad being cut off. Just the pure anticipation of being cut off sucks."
"Exactly, even though they wouldn't do it, because then the entire group of socialites will think you're horrible parents."
"And that's the worst thing ever for them. Because to them, who cares if your kids hate you?"
"It's always what the other rich people think of you." Lorelei adds.
"Because those are the real people that matter." Logan agrees with Lorelei.
"Exactly." Lorelei says, having an understanding of Logan. "You've got balls for standing up to him."
"Thanks."
Rory stands back; smiling, letting Lorelei and Logan have their little bond.
"Well you guys should head back to school." Lorelei tells both of them.
"We can stay if you want?" Rory tell her mom.
"You know I would love that Hon, but I have a date with Luke"
"A date?"
"Yeah, he just doesn't know it yet."
"Ok, I'll see you later mom."
Rory hugs Lorelei.
"Remember what I told you." Lorelei whispers in Rory's ear.
They pull apart.
"And Logan. It was nice to meet you…..with your shirt on." Lorelei adds.
"Yeah, you too - Not that you had your shirt off - It's nice to meet you…..with my shirt on."
"Don't be a stranger." Lorelei tells Logan.
"He won't. Bye mom."
"Bye, Lorelei."
"Bye Guys."
Rory and Logan walk out of the house.
"That parental experience went well." Logan says.
"Yeah, my mom is easy to get along with."
They get into Logan's car and start their way to Yale.
Logan walks Rory to her dorm. When they reach the dorm, Rory stops and turns to Logan.
"Well, this has been interesting." Rory says.
"Don't worry, no more dinners with my parents." Logan assures Rory.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Well, I should get inside. I should start on my homework."
"Yeah, I need to catch up on some work too. What are you doing tomorrow morning?"
"Nothing."
"Come to breakfast with me. My treat. As always."
"Ok. But not too early."
"Nothing is ever early with you. So I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow." Rory assures Logan.
Logan and Rory meet half way for a kiss. Things start to get a little intense when Rory slowly starts to pull away.
"Homework."
"Right. I'm stopping now."
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye, Ace."
"Bye, Logan."
Logan slowly walks away, Rory sweetly smiles at Logan's retreating figure. She opens the door into her dorm and walks in.
A.N. I know you guys were probably expecting a big scene with Logan and Lorelei, but I the writers block got to me. I figured they should hav a little bondong moment since they both grew up in the same world. I hope you liked it. Keep those reviews coming. yo guys are so damn awesome!
