Summary: Logan cannot commit to Rory and when she tells him she wants out of the no-strings- attached relationship he lets her go. Logan still misses Rory, but there is another person waiting in the wings to sweep her off her feet. ROGAN. My fic takes place up to 5.19 scene where Rory and Logan have their confrontation; then it evolves into a different part. So I guess you can call it AU.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any of its characters.
AN: Thank you to all my reviewers for their wonderful reviews. Well, this fic is coming to its conclusion within three chapters because I feel it's time to end it, well four if you read the alternative ending. I am currently writing many fics and the next fic out will probably be a one-shot fic inspired by a song suggested by a fanfic reader. The fic after that will probably be the sequel to 'Socialite' or the prequel to 'Holding Out Hope.' Thank you for you your constant support and feedback to this fic and others I wrote, it is very much appreciated. Please continue to review.
AyshaA: Well you would think this is a god send for Rory, what with Logan stating his intentions and all, but you'll have to keep reading to find out what Rory does. Thank you for reviewing.
Nicoley117: Wow you comparing my fic to a chocolate bar is probably the highest compliment for a chocoholic like me (hehe) Thank you for reviewing.

Chapter 12: The Calm Before The Storm
Logan hadn't heard nor seen Rory since his confession and his statement of his intentions towards her. He wasn't worried because he had all the time to 'break up' Rory and Sullivan. Logan was cocky enough to admit that he was more suitable for Rory than Graham Sullivan who was the fourth generation of the privileged rich, which compared to the Huntzbergers and Gilmores was considered new money. Both Rory and Logan could probably trace their ancestry back to Kings and Queens on both sides of the family, hell the two of them are probably distant cousins of some sort. What an incestuous pool they belonged to.
Logan hadn't decided on a plan of attack but he knew he had to do it sooner rather than later because he couldn't handle any more time apart from Rory. He had become attached to the girl and there was nothing to do about it. His mother had called him three times today and it was only ten past one. He had a funny feeling her insistent calls had to do with Rory and if he had succeeded in winning her back so she could start getting ready for those grandkids he had promised her.
He didn't know what had come over him to admit such a statement to Rory but he knew if he didn't get his intentions across correctly she would deny he wanted anything but a serious relationship. Logan knew it was odd for him to admit he wanted to commit after denying so profusely that he could not do commitment. He hoped she would take him seriously.
The front door to his dorm room opened and Finn came rushing in. "Logan mate, so glad you're here. I just found out a juicy bit of information that I think you want to know," said Finn.
"Well come then, spit it out," said Logan.
"There is no need to be rude. I came here out of the goodness of my heart to tell you this news yet you give me attitude. Now I don't know if I want to tell you," said Finn.
Logan gave his friend a dirty look, "I'm sorry."
"The hell you are. You just want to know what my news is," said Finn. He just wanted to see how far he could push Logan until he lost his cool. It was quite amusing to see such a thing plus he had a grand riding on his good friends reaction. He had started this bet with Colin and Stephanie. Finn wanted to win and he would do just about anything to make sure the outcome was in his favour. Colin and Stephanie had said Logan would lose his cool after two hours Finn had said otherwise.
Before Logan could say anything to win Finn a thousand big ones the dorm room door opened once again. The person was none other than our favourite fake maid Serena. "Finn, you bloody menace did you tell the heir about what we found out?" asked Serena.
"Rena was that you I saw with a maid uniform on at my parent's house? Did you spend all your trust fund money? Wasn't it over half a billion?" asked Logan.
"About that Logan, you see my moronic cousin asked me a favour. I decided to go along with it because being kin should be something in this world shouldn't it? You'll find it amusing when I tell you, which will be after you and that lass Rory get together," sad Serena.
"Why after Rory and I get together?" asked Logan.
"It'll be appreciated then. Now, has Finn told you about what we found out?" asked Serena.
"He is upset with me and won't tell me," said Logan.
"Blood hell, you're an emotional wreck Aardvark. Logan, we heard from one of those coffee cart attendee people that Graham Sullivan has gone to the Cape for the weekend and will be returning bright and early Monday morning," said Serena.
"So that's why I haven't see him around. Now, if I can only figure out where Rory went. Sullivan will be getting a visit from me first thing Monday morning. Thank you for telling me so quickly Serena. It would've taken Finn a while yet to tell me all of it," said Logan.
Finn growled and looked at his she-devil of a cousin. He wanted to say something obscenely rude, but she was a lady and his mother taught him better than that. Serena just made him lose a grand because he had bet that Logan would only need a few choice words and he would've lost his cool. Now Finn had to watch Stephanie and Colin give him that smile. Dammit!
Serena smirked at Finn. She knew exactly what she was doing and it only served Finnegan right for betting on the ability of his friend to lose his cool. She hadn't particularly liked Logan when Rory had looked ghastly pale, which was subsequently right after Logan's declaration of intent. Serena had gotten her back to the room filled with assistants and the designer, but she knew he was just a young man in need of a reality check. She found out that the reality check had come in the form of one Graham Sullivan. Serena had wanted to meet Graham when she had heard about the whole story from Colin. A guy like that deserved a medal of some kind for going up against Logan Huntzberger and staying alive to tell the tale.

Rory and Graham had talked about her run-in with Logan at his home. She had been hesitant to tell Graham, at first since he was always telling her to wait for Logan to say he wanted to commit before considering getting back together with him. Rory had been pleasantly surprised to see that she was speaking to a subdued Graham since he had just advised her to do what her heart told her to do.
Rory had not expected to hear such poetic speech from the likes of Graham. Rory told him the truth: she didn't know what to do. He'd advised her to get away from of it all and go somewhere where no one knew her or expected things from her. He said she should relax and think things through.
So here Rory was on a plane to a place where she would find the one person in the world that would take her in without asking any questions and let her stay as long as she wanted while giving her space at the same time. She hoped her mother and grandparents weren't upset with her hasty departure when the found out that she had up and left them.
Graham, on the other hand, was taking a well-deserved break at the Cape to get ready for the inevitable conversation/confrontation that was going to take place between he and Huntzberger.
When Rory had told him about Huntzberger's confession the only thing that popped into his head had been one word: FINALLY. He gave him credit for admitting to Rory his true intentions but it took the bastard long enough to get with the program. He hoped to god the eventual confrontation wouldn't end in a fistfight like what happened at Emily Gilmore's party. That had been embarrassing.
Graham had wished that he had gotten his chance with Rory but he knew she wanted to be with Huntzberger for some odd reason. He wasn't as upset as he thought he might be after Rory had told him of all that had happened at her dress fitting. He had acted like the better man and suggested she do what she wanted. It still puzzled him that Rory hadn't decided on what to do about Logan's confession.
He assumed she was going to go somewhere to unwind and think things through logically instead of rushing into Huntzberger's arms like he probably wanted her to. Graham had hugged her and dropped her off at the airport to go to her designated destination.
He wished Rory and Logan all the luck in the world. He needed some time to himself after having 'lost' Rory he had no idea what to do with himself, that is until he received a peculiar phone call from a girl named Serena.

Logan was in his dorm room at Yale plotting out the next step in his plan right down to the confrontation he would have with Sullivan. He also wanted to talk to Rory so they could figure out their relationship together. He hoped she was just in Stars Hollow with her mother or in Hartford with her grandparents. He had a sinking feeling about it but he ignored it.
Serena was getting ready to drive down to the Cape to hang out with Graham. She had gotten his cell number from Stephanie and contacted him. She told him she had decided he was an interesting man and she wanted to get to know him. He seemed normal when she had confessed such a thing and didn't even hesitate to invite her down to his family home on the Cape.
Graham had known exactly who the girl with the accent was when she had contacted him. Rory had told him about a maid named Serena helping her out. What Rory didn't know was that Colin told Graham about Finn's crazy cousin Serena who was going to help spy on Rory and Logan. Graham had been a little curious to meet such a creature and he was glad he had invited her over.
Rory was watching the gorgeous site before eyes. The plane was going to land soon and she would be in the most beautiful city in the world. She was so grateful to Graham for suggesting she take a break from it all and recharge after these past few months. She hoped to god the person with whom she planned to reside wouldn't be too mad Rory hadn't called before showing up on the doorstep.
So the scene was set for the big confrontation and future romances.
AN: Please, Please, Please Review.
