A/n: Thanks for the reviews… I'm sorry that last chapter took so long… There's only two more chapters after this, and granted I've set this chapter up for the next, but we'll see what happens! And now for part 3!

There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
I shiver when I hear your name
Think about you but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied 'till I'm under your skin

Rory pulled the sleek car into a quaint parking lot with a building in front of it that read "Frank's Pizza" and turned off the engine.

"Come on Logan, you know not to keep a hungry Gilmore from her food," she said grabbing his hand as they left the car and dragged him into the pizza parlor. They stepped into the surprisingly clean place and took a seat at a booth near the window. Logan shrugged off his jacket and took a look around.

"Not bad," he said leaning onto the table. Rory watched him carefully as he approved the parlor and was absolutely giddy when he did. She reached across the table and grabbed his hand filled with excitement.

"This is seriously the best pizza ever," she turned contemplative as if making some sort of list in here head, "yeah definitely beats the pizza in my hometown." She smiled at him and all he could do was smirk.

"And you look like a girl that enjoys her pizza," he added teasingly watching her expression turn from one of acceptance to one of embarrassment.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" she asked with flush of her cheeks.

"I just meant you know what you like, it's refreshing and adorable," he replied smoothly with a wink.

Disbelieving him, she replied, "I bet. So, about that kiss…" she paused waiting for him to pick up the conversation.

"Don't overanalyze it Rory. I kissed you, you kissed back. Take it as this: I like you, I think you like me and we should just see what happens from here instead of analyzing and scrutinizing over every, itty, bitty detail! Okay?"

"You're so goddamn cocky Huntz," she used his nick name like it was a plague coming from her lips. "What makes you think I like you, or that I want to see where this goes? How do you know I wasn't going to say 'that kiss was a mistake' or 'it was just some silly thing that happened'?" she was flushed crimson with anger as he'd baited her once again.

"You really want to know how I can tell you like me?" he asked.

"Yes, I do," she said composing herself and leaning back in the booth. She was slightly taken back when he rose from his side and scooted in beside her. "What are you doing?" she asked pushing away from him.

"Showing you how I know," and with that he captured her lips with his own and felt her tense slightly. The tension almost immediately released as she fought back at him to gain control of the kiss, but that was exactly what he wanted. He already knew she liked him; she just had to realize it herself. She heard a throat clear and broke away from his quickly.

"Uh, are you ready to order?" a freckled teenage girl asked, popping her gum.

"A pepperoni pizza please. Make it an extra large," Rory replied and turned her attention to Logan. Waiting for the girl to leave Rory began to chew on her bottom lip. "Shit I do like you!" she threw her head down on the table and slowly slid down.

"What are you doing Ace?" he asked with a chortle.

"Trying to hide," she replied easily and sat up, staring deeply into his chocolate brown eyes.

"Hate to say it, but I told you so," he singsonged, and pulled her in to lean on him.

"You are infuriating, you know that?" she asked looking up at him. She gave him a kiss to his jaw and settled back against him.

"I know," he said with a slight chuckle and then turned serious again. "We're having a party at our dorm this weekend, Colin, Finn and I, you in?"

"Which day?"

"Friday."

"I have dinner with my grandparents that night. I could come after I guess," she said reasoning.

"I'll come with you and we can drive to my place right after," he said.

"I really don't think I want to face Emily Gilmore right now. Not when this is so new, hell, we don't even know what we are. If you come, that just sets us up for the wedding plans and invitations the next time you come. And hell, you really want to meet my mom?" she asked in a ramble.

"You know what, I don't really care what they all say, albeit your mom's opinion does kind of matter seeing as how close you two are, but other than that, those society people don't really affect me anymore. I'm totally use to them by now!" he said with a smile.

"I guess so. Hey, it's better than coming to my hometown, which would truly be scary for you. All of the boyfriends I've had, a whole two, have been from Stars Hollow, maybe not Jess, but he did live there, hey maybe you should meet my mom and Luke before meeting my grandparents," she said in a ramble of sorts.

"Uh Ror, first who's Luke, secondly I've already met your grandparents and thirdly, its all up to you who I meet first."

"In that case, I do think it should be Luke and mom you meet first. Their approval is what counts, not that I'd stop whatever we have just because they don't like you. But maybe they will like you, I have no idea," she said this time trying to calm herself down.

"Rory, calm down. It's okay, I'll just be myself and everything will be fine."

"That's what I'm afraid of," she muttered, but he heard her.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh never mind, I'm not in the mood to argue with you," she said and leaned her body away from him to stare out the window.

"You can't ever let things be can you? What, so now I can't be myself? I thought that's what you liked about me? God Rory, why can't you just stop being difficult!" he screamed at her staring a hole into the back of her head.

"Oh so you want to do this now then? Okay, you can't be yourself because frankly Logan, I think you're an ass. Despite my feelings for you, you're an arrogant prick who can't seem to notice anyone else's needs but your own. You use your charm to get what you want and I don't even know when you're sincere. So I apologize if I'm hesitant in going into this relationship with you with a blindfold and absolutely no idea which direction we're going in!"

"Huh? Is that what you think? You think I don't care about you? Do you think this is all some elusive way to get you into my bed, some form of trickery? Rory, I don't need to trick women into my bed, nor have I ever. Why would I do that to someone? Am I really that heartless to you?" he asked, his expression drained and she could tell she'd struck a nerve.

"God, why is it anytime we have a decent conversation it turns into an argument and your fucking playboy antics and bedroom history always come up?" she was fuming mad now and was ready to push him from the seat.

They were starting to attract the attention of the other patrons in the restaurant and the staff at the counter. They were completely oblivious to them, however, and continued on with their battle.

"Lorelei," he spit it at her and continued, "My sleeping history is just that, in the past and is unimportant to us now. Who cares what's happened, I'm with you now. And so what if we have no idea of where this goes? Rarely in life do we know what's going to happen to us, it just does. So get off your high horse and level with me for a moment. Do you even want to try to be in a relationship?"

His eyes were still set with fire, burning bright with passion and ready to strike if need be. Hers were just as crystal clear, blazing a blue he'd never seen before. If he hadn't been so mad he actually would have kissed her right there, ravaged her and been quite pleased about it.

"Yes," she said meekly turning her head to the ground.

"What?" he asked, unsure of what she was referring to.

"Yes, I do want a relationship with you, despite my better judgment. Maybe we should hold off with meeting my family though. Just until we figure out what we're doing here," she said, motioning a hand between the two of them.

"Sounds like a plan, Stan," he said with a smirk.

"You're insufferable," she whispered, leaning in to him for a kiss.

"Would you want me any other way?" he asked with amusement.

"I don't think so," she said softly and pressed her lips into his. A good minute later she rested her head back on his shoulder, only to move it when their pizza arrived.

"Wow, fighting works up an appetite," she said digging into her pizza slice.

"So do other things," he winked at her playfully and she could only smirk back.

After they finished their pizza, Logan drove them back to Rory's apartment and walked her to her door. They stood their silently, just staring at each other fondly as Rory decided what she wanted.

"So, maybe you're in the mood to watch a movie?" she asked turning to unlock her door.

"You know I'd love to, but against popular belief I do have an early class I should go to. How about we do lunch tomorrow or something?" he asked casually, leaning against her doorframe.

"Alright then, I have a class at ten, but it's only an hour, so I guess twelvish?" she replied grabbing onto the front of his leather jacket.

"Yeah, I'll pick you up here then," he said and waited for her to nod. "Well good night Ace," he said and placed a chaste kiss to her cheek.

"What was that?" she asked as he began to retreat down the corridor.

"A good night kiss," he replied with a smirk.

"After all the kisses we've shared tonight, you want to end with that? And I thought you were a Casanova, shame on you!" she said, giving him her own smirk.

"Well if you beg like that, how can a guy resist?" he smiled genuinely and wrapped his arms around her lower back and neck. He dipped her back and wriggled his eyebrows before connecting his lips to hers in heated kiss, a version much like their argument that night. It was filled with feelings of love, hate, care, like, disgust, passion and desire. As they broke apart, Rory panted for air as he steadied her to a standing position. "Night Ace," he said and sauntered down the hall with a smile across his face.

"Rory stared after him murmuring to herself, "That little charmer," and turned around herself to go into her apartment and dream sweetly.

A/n: Quick poll, should I include the dinner and party, or end it before then? Remember, this all has to fit in the next two chapters!
