(((I am having so much fun writing this story, I hope y'all are having as much fun reading it)))
Rory woke up and went and made coffee. She went outside to get the paper and saw that there were a dozen roses on top of it. She yawned and bent down to pick them and the paper up. As she walked inside she read the card.
"Hey Ace, here's something I remember about you roses are only your second favorite flowers. You like tulips, yellow tulips."
Rory sighed and threw the flowers away. He could do all this but it was just an interest of the moment thing. At least that was what she was trying to convince herself of. But before she knew it she was pulling the flowers out of the trash. Hey they are still pretty. Right? She thought setting them on the table.
Rory opened the door to her office and saw it was practically covered in yellow tulips. Before she could help it she found herself smiling. However it wasn't as cute when every female within the building was in her office.
"Who sent them Rory?"
"They are so sweet?"
"What does he look like?
Rory knew one thing she didn't want to tell them that it was their new boss. "I don't know. I guess it's a secret admirer." She said getting rounds of 'awws.' Finally she ushered everyone out of her office and sat down to work. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart every time someone came to her office that day. But as the clock finally eased it's way to 6:30, Rory got up to leave. She looked around as she was walking out.
"Ms. Gilmore are you looking for someone?" The secretary asked watching her look around.
Rory looked at her almost startled she hadn't realized she was so obvious. "Well could you tell me if Lo…Mr. Huntzberger is in his office?"
The secretary nodded. "Hold on." She said picking up the phone and dialing. "Mr. Huntzberger…yes…okay thank you." She looked up at Rory. "He's there."
Rory smiled at her. "Thank you Lelane." She said turning around and walking to Logan's office. She slowly raised her hand to the door and knocked.
"Come in." Came Logan's voice from inside.
Rory opened the door and went in shutting it behind her. "Logan…" She began
Logan smiled at her. "Hey Ace. Sorry I didn't come visit today. I was just coming in this morning when my dad informed me that I had a meeting to go to. I just got back."
"Oh it's no problem. I just wanted to say thanks for the flowers…they're beautiful."
"Did you get the roses to?" Logan asked standing up and walking over to where Rory was. She was standing up against the door.
Rory felt a bit trapped when Logan started coming towards her. She had stayed by the door as an easy escape. "Yea." She said looking down.
"Rory, I'm trying here." Logan said putting his hand under her chin and making her look up again. "I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." Logan said. He was utterly sincere. He had screwed over his chance with her once. He was young and stupid and while he may still be stupid now, he knew that Rory was the one for him. He had spent last night on the phone with his mom talking about it. She had told him that Rory had always been a wonderful girl and that he had better, if he got her not screw her over again. Rory and his mom had hit it off wonderfully. Logan waited for Rory to say something but she didn't. "I talked to my mom." He said trying to open it up.
"Oh tell her I say hi. I miss seeing her." Rory said.
"Rory, please. Don't treat me like one of your interviews." Logan pleaded with her. "I am so sorry for what I did to you Rory. I don't even know why I treated you like crap. I had someone who cared for me, truly cared. A perfect person, a beautiful, smart, funny, perfect, just perfect girl and she was mine. And I hurt you. And I am so sorry for that. I should be shot and I understand that but please give me one more chance. I don't deserve it, I don't deserve you, but I need you." Logan said letting everything he had been holding inside pour out. "And you know I mean it Rory. You know because I don't say crap like that. You know me better than anyone ever has." He looked at her and saw that she looked on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry Rory, really." She said wiping away a tear that finally fell.
Rory couldn't say anything. There was nothing to say that wouldn't let out a torrent of feeling. Things that she didn't want to share. She let herself go over to Logan and she put her head up against him and let silent tears fall. He wrapped his arms around her holding her. He felt like one of the worst people in the world. She seemed so fragile right now and he knew the hurt he had caused he ran really deep. He would give anything to make it better. He let her cry until she looked up at him.
"Right now Logan, I'm just really confused. I honestly want to believe you but you hurt me and I don't know what to do. And I can't just stand here so I'm going to leave and try to figure out what the hell I'm going to do. Thank you for the flowers." She said and walked off.
