(((This chapter is long but I started typing and it was just flowing and I really think y'all are going to like it a lot. I will probably a bunch more today I'm being lazy and just sitting around and writing to clear my head.)))

Rory sat the phone down after talking to her mom. They hadn't really decided anything but they had talked. She could tell someone. She had also talked to Lane. But this wasn't one of those things other people could tell her with. She was just glad to have people to talk to. She was going through the conversations in her head and changing into her pajama's when someone knocked on her door. She sighed figuring it was some kid wanting her to buy something. She opened the door and was surprised at the person standing there. "Logan? What in the world are you doing here?" She asked ushering him inside and closing the door.

"I don't know." He said looking shocked himself. "I just couldn't let you leave and stay here and be upset if you were. I had to come check on you."

"Thanks." Rory said realizing she had pajama's on, no make-up and her hair was up messily. "Let me go change."

"You look fine, you always look gorgeous. But I feel like a fool for coming here since you obviously not upset." He opened the door. "I'll leave you alone." He said and started to walk out.

"Logan!" Rory called going over to him. She kissed him passionately and then pulled back "See you tomorrow." She said shutting the door on him. She sat down with her back up against the door and pulled her knees up. She didn't know what had possessed her to do that. She wasn't planning on it.

Logan stood outside Rory's door. What had just happened? He was stunned. And then he smiled. She had kissed him. That was a start, a serious move in the right direction. Well staring at her door wasn't really helping it either. He told himself but he didn't want to walk away either. Did she want to go back to work and pretend nothing had happened? Then something hit him, the girl of his dreams had just kissed him after he had acted like an asshole and dumped her once before. "Rory Gilmore!" He said to the door "I am not going to go to work tomorrow and pretend nothing happened. And I'm not about to walk away and once again let the best thing in my life get away.

Rory stood up inside the door. "But I don't want to feel that hurt again Logan, it hurt so bad." She said to the door, and then realized how foolish it was that she was talking to a door and opened it. "I have to protect myself."

"Let me protect you. I want to keep all the bad things away from you. I want to settle down with you. I have never wanted to settle down before in my life and I'm sorry I had to force you to leave before. But honestly I'm glad you did so that I could see what I was missing. If you don't take me back you will find someone else because there are so many guys out there who are looking for a girl like you, but I won't find another you Rory. Please give me a chance cause this isn't easy for me. I've never done this before."

"I know that. I know your being honest Logan but you were being honest before when you told me that you didn't know how to settle down."

"I don't, but I'll learn. And I never thought I would say I want to settle down but I do but only with you. I know you know I can sweet talk but I have never before in my life told anyone that I wanted to settle down with them. If standing here talking all night till I'm blue in the face will get you back just tell me. Whatever will prove to you that I am serious this time tell me. I don't care what it is, Rory just tell me. If you want the moon then the moon will be yours. I don't care."

"I want to feel safe forever." Rory told him. "I want you, you have always know that but I don't want to have someone I can't trust. I don't want to worry what your doing. I don't want to be your play toy. I want seriousness and a real relationship. And I don't want to put everything on the line only to have it thrown back in my face. But right now I'm scared, because I want you and I know the pain of losing you."

"And I'm scared to Rory. But I'm scared that you will shut this door in my face and never open it again. I'm scared of seeing you in some other guys arms. I'm scared of seeing you be someone else's wife. I'm scared that you will be happy with someone who isn't me. And I'm scared of the way I feel for you, I'm scared but not stupid, and I'm more scared of being without you. And I'm scared because I am saying all these things and meaning them. I'm not saying them to get in your pants I'm saying them because it's true and that scary."

"That's why I can't trust you cause I know the things you will say to get into a girls pants."

"Rory I'm not trying to get into your pants. If you told me that I could be with you forever but we would never have sex I would still want you. I would rather hold your hand and just be near you than to have sex with anyone else."

"Logan I swear if you are lying to me…"

"I'm not. Do you need time? Cause I can leave if you want."

"Please don't leave." Rory said realizing that they were still standing in the door way and she couldn't help but laugh. She also thought of what Miss Patty would give to have heard all that. And then she started laughing. "Come inside." She said through giggles shutting the door behind Logan.

Logan looked at Rory like she had sprouted another head. "What are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking about Miss Patty and what she would be telling Babette and everyone else in Star's Hollow if she knew what you just told me. And I was thinking that Luke would probably still not really trust you. And that mom would probably punch you and then tell me to get back with you. And that Sookie would think that was just darling and then I laughed because why in the world and I thinking about Stars Hollow?"

Logan couldn't help but start laughing to. This was part of what he loved about Rory, just how down to earth she was.

She smiled at him and sighed. "I don't want to rush into things Logan so how about we order a pizza and hang out?"

"That sounds wonderful." Logan said glad that he wasn't having to try to convince her anymore cause the words coming out of his mouth five minutes ago shocked him because he had never been able to put it into words before.
