Chapter 13
This was fun, having Logan's dorm all to her self. He had everything. Movies like there was no tomorrow, satellite with all the channels possible, a never ending supply of snacks, and probably one of the most comfortable couches she ever laid her butt on. She was so comfortable she didn't even bother to change. She felt, surprisingly, at home here, waiting for Logan at his place. She's in the middle of watching a movie on pay per view at 11: 57, when she hears a knock on the door. Thinking its Logan, she smiles. She runs to the door with the sheet still wrapped around her and swings the door open. Her mouth drops.
"Rory?"
"Mr. Huntzberger?" Rory stutters, surprised and embarrassed.
Rory quickly closes the door and whispers to herself, "Oh my God."
She runs to Logan's room and quickly changes into her clothes, stumbling a bit. She runs back to the door in record time and opens the door again, out of breath. A confused Mitchum is still standing there.
"Mr. Huntzberger, what are you doing here?" Rory asks still huffing.
"I needed to tell Logan something in person. Is he available?
"Actually, he's in class right now, but he should be back any moment."
"No, it's alright. I'll try again later. And maybe call prior. Well, nice to see you Rory. Have a nice day." Mitchum spits out not too happy at Rory. He walks away.
Rory closes the door, goes into Logan's room and plops down on the bed.
"Oh….my…..God."
Mitchum walks away, tense at what he saw.
"What is my son getting into?"
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Rory is still lying on Logan's bed, extremely embarrassed. She then hears a voice call out.
"Ace? Are you still here?"
"In your room."
Logan walks into his room to see a flustered Rory.
"What's wrong?" Logan asks.
"You're father came by here."
"Oh." He said in a 'that sucks' way.
"I opened the door."
"Ok."
"I was in nothing but a sheet."
"Oh no."
"This is so embarrassing. Your father catching me in his son's dorm in nothing but a sheet! He knows what we did. What if he tells my grandparents?" Rory starts to panic. "Oh no. What if he tells my grandparents? Now they're gonna know I'm not a virgin anymore."
"Rory, calm down. You weren't a virgin before we-"
"But now they're gonna know for sure. Oh God. I'll never be able to face them again."
"Calm down. You're 20 years old. They wouldn't expect you to stay a virgin forever, would they?"
Rory gives Logan a look.
"They would." Logan says embarrassed.
"What am I gonna do?"
"Rory, come on. It's just se-"
"This isn't you we're talking about. It's me……It's a big deal to me. I've only slept with one other guy and trust me it wasn't much. I take this seriously. Why do you think we didn't do this before?" Rory interrupts.
"It's not a big deal."
"You should have seen the way he looked at me. He looked at me as if I were some skank. He hates me." Rory panics again.
"Rory, just calm down. Relax. Take a deep breath."
Rory takes a deep breath.
"Ok, I'm good." Rory says.
"Are you really?"
"No." Rory whines as she falls back on the bed.
Logan lies back next to Rory.
"You don't regret last night, do you?" Logan asks a little scared.
"No……I just regret opening the door in a sheet."
"By the way, why did you open the door in a sheet?"
"I thought it was you."
"Why would I knock on my own door?"
"I don't know? I wasn't thinking. I was anxious to see you."
"Really?" Logan says smugly.
"Yes. I am so embarrassed."
"Well, I'm here now. Why so anxious?" Logan asks moving closer to Rory.
Rory moves a little closer to Logan, forgetting the embarrassment. She's a breath away, rubbing her nose with his.
"Well, isn't it obvious?" Rory says, trying to be seductive.
Logan lightly opens his mouth, anticipating the kiss.
"I needed more coffee." Rory taunts.
"Tease."
"If I'm suffering, so will you."
"The things you do to me, Gilmore."
"I am well aware."
Logan closes the small gap between them. Logan rolls on top of Rory still kissing her.
"You're not answering anymore doors."
"Then keep me busy."
"Now that I can do."
And he does.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Logan is finishing his paper for a class when his phone rings.
"Hello?" He answers.
"Are you decent? And are you in your dorm?"
"Yes, father. I am decent and am currently in my room."
"Good, now open the door for your father."
Logan closes his phone. He walks over to the door and opens in to let his father in. Mitchum steps inside without being invited in and walks past Logan.
"Why are you here?" Logan asks.
"I needed to talk to you."
"You couldn't do it over the phone?"
"For you, people have to be in front of you to get cross."
"What do you need to get cross?"
"You know you're taking over the family business when you're grandfather and I think that you are ready, right?"
"Of course father. You've been telling me that since I was 3."
"Well we, your grandfather and I, thought you could use some hands on experience before you fully take over the business."
"What are you talking about?"
"We're opening another newspaper in California. We need someone to help over there, and who better than the future CEO?"
Logan looks at his father shocked.
"Now you're probably wondering about school. We'll I talked to Stanford and they're letting you transfer in. We leave in 2 weeks." Mitchum explains.
Logan gets over the shock and finally responds firmly. "I'm not leaving Rory."
"What are you doing with her?"
"How could I not be with her?"
"I understand what you see in her. She's beautiful, I understand. She is extremely smart. But that is what'll ruin you. She knows what she's doing with you. She's trying to step up on the social ladder. All she needs to do is one thing and she's got you. From what I saw yesterday, she's already trying"
"Are you saying that Rory's trying to trap me?"
"You said it, not me."
"You insinuated it."
"Take whatever you want form it, son. Now you should start to pack now. You've always been quiet the procrastinator."
"I'm not leaving her." Logan says simply.
"Are you sure about that? You know I can easily ruin your future and hers."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm simply stating the facts."
"This is a new low, even for you."
"So I'll see you on the plane?"
There's an intense pause.
"...Yes." Logan painfully chokes out.
"You were always the smart one. I'll talk to you later son."
And with that Mitchum leaves, closing the door behind him. Logan grabs the closest thing to him, which is the remote, and chucks it at the door, causing it to shatter.
"This can't be happening." Logan whispers to himself as he puts his hands on his head in pure frustration and anger. What's he supposed to do?
