Chapter 15: As You Wish
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
Rory groaned as her cell phone rang the next morning. She was reluctant
to leave Logan's arms and warmth and let the real world in, but she
knew she must. She reached out to the nightstand and grabbed her cell
phone and flipped it open.
"Hello?" she said in a husky morning voice.
"Good morning, sunshine! I tried you at the apartment, but you didn't
answer. Where are you?" Lorelai's voice chirped.
"Umm… Logan and I are in New York City for the weekend. Ella and Gigi
are with Logan's parents since Dad's out of town."
At hearing his name, Logan stirred and lifted up on his arm that was
under Rory to gaze at her.
"Morning," he murmured in a sexy, deep morning voice.
"Wait, why is Logan right there with you if you just woke up?" Lorelai
asked suspiciously.
"Because we platonically shared the same bed last night," Rory replied
honestly.
"But you guys are alone together in New York? No Ella, no friends?"
"Yes. We are on the first date of our new relatonship. Is that a
problem?"
"Nope. Just be careful, hon. Don't do anything I would and if you do do
something I would do, be safe."
"Good bye mother!" Rory said, a bit exasperated as she hung up her
phone.
"Morning," Logan repeated, pulling Rory tight against him.
"G'morning," she said snuggling back down into the fluffy mattress and
down comforter.
"How'd you sleep?"
"Very well, thank you. And yourself?"
"I always sleep well when you're beside me, Ace."
"Aww, how flattering. What do you want to do today?"
"I've got something planned," Logan said as someone knocked on the door
and called "room service."
While he answered the door, Rory's phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"MOMMY!" an excited voice chirped.
"Hi sweetheart! How are you doing?"
"I good. I miss you," Ella said pitifully.
"I miss you too, sugar bear. Are you and Gigi being good for Gamommy
and Gamdaddy?"
"Yes. We play and watcheded Little Mermaid last night and Gigi and Ella
slept in BIG bed."
"That's great sweetie," Rory replied as Logan came back into the room.
"Do you want to say good morning to Daddy?"
"Yes!" the little girl exclaimed happily. Chuckling Rory held the phone
out to Logan.
"Its your daughter," Rory said as he took the phone.
"Good morning, beautiful. Are you having fun?"
"Yes. I miss you and Mommy."
"We miss you too, angel. What do you want for your surprise?"
"Toys!" Ella said cheerfully.
"Toys it is then. Well, Mommy and I have a big day today, so I gotta
get ready. We'll see you tomorrow morning. I love you, baby."
"Love you too, Daddy. Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
"So what's on the schedule, today?" Rory asked as Logan handed her a
mug of coffee from the room service cart.
"I thought I'd take you on a shopping spree and then we'd go to FAO
Schwartz and get Ella some things. We have dinner reservations and
tickets for the theater tonight so we need to be back here by about 4
or 4:30."
"As you wish. I'm just along for the ride."
"Logan, this is too much," Rory said for the bazillionth time that day
as she tried on a Christian Dior suit that fit her like a glove.
"No its not. This is your weekend and I want to spoil you."
"You don't have to. I'm perfectly capable of buying my own clothes,"
Rory protested.
"I know you are and I'm proud you are, but I want to do this. You've
taken care of our daughter and yourself for the last few years. Let me
take care of you now."
"As you wish."
"What kind of toy should we get our little princess?" Logan asked as
they walked into the giant FAO Schwartz store later that day.
"God, I have no clue, there are so many of them," Rory breathed,
looking around the ground floor of the store. They looked up and down
the store, but Rory couldn't pick one out. Just as they were about to
give up, Rory spotted something.
"What about that big teddy bear? The one dressed up like a princess?"
Rory asked, pointing to the stuffed animal.
"As you wish," Logan replied, grinning impishly at her as he got the
bear down.
"Are you ready?" Logan called into the bedroom. He and Rory were
finishing getting ready to go to dinner and the theater.
"Yes!" she called back. A minute later, she exited the bedroom. She was
wearing a little black dress that ended about an inch above her pretty
little knees. The dress was made of a silky material that clung to her
slim torso and then belled out slightly past her waist. The thin halter
straps were overshadowed by the solitary sapphire pendant that hung on
the thin silver chain around her neck. Her hair was pulled back in an
elegant twist and her make-up was perfect.
"You look incredible," Logan breathed, standing up and handing her the
single red rose he had been fiddling with while he waited.
"Why thank you, Mr. Huntzberger. Shall we proceed to dinner or do you
wish to continue oggling me?"
"Hmm…. Such a hard decision. Should I ease my sexual appetite or the
appetite of my stomach?"
"I would highly recommend satisfying your stomach," Rory said.
"Only if you'll consider satisfying my other appetite, later," Logan
replied, smiling lewdly and waggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"Let's just wait and see how the evening goes," Rory murmured shyly.
"As you wish," Logan said, bowing as he opened the door.
They enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a popular Broadway restraunt. The
food was excellent, as was the wine, and they sat close together,
acting like any other young couple who were head over heels for each
other.
"So what show are we going to see?" Rory asked as they exited the
building, hugging her coat about her. Logan looked at her for a second,
kissed her softly and led her down the street. A minute later, he
stopped under the marquee of one of the Broadway theaters.
"Oh my gosh! We're seeing Phantom of the Opera?" Rory asked excitedly.
"Yes ma'am. I remembered you loved the movie and the book, so I figured
this was the only thing left for you to see."
"Thank you," she breathed, kissing him thoroughly, before allowing him
to lead her into the theater.
"That was amazing," Rory exclaimed as they entered their hotel room
much later that evening.
"I think you've said that about 50 times now, Ace," Logan laughed,
plopping down on the couch and loosening his tie.
"And its still as true now as it was the first 49 times," Rory replied,
settling down into the crook of his arm, kicking off her high heels as
she did.
"You know I would do that for you don't you?" Logan said, looking into
her big blue eyes.
"Do what?" Rory said, her brow creasing slightly.
"Come and rescue you from any one who dared kidnap you or try to hurt
you," Logan said, kissing away the crease. Smiling softly, he kissed
his way down to her lips. They sat, their mouths moving together for
long moments, their ardor increasing by the second. Finally, Logan
pulled away.
"Ace, you do realize where this is going? If we continue down this
road, I won't be able to stop myself. I care about you too much to do
anything you don't want. Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Yes, this is what I want. You're the father of my daughter and I want
to be with you and only you. Now, kiss me before I get mean."
"As you wish," Logan said, leading her into the bedroom as he
simultaneously kissing and undressing her.
