Chapter Thirteen- Great Rewards, Quiet Lunches, Bubbly Sisters, and First-Time Girlfriends

Rory awoke to find Logan watching her. She smiled up at him as he kissed her good morning.

"What, do I have funny bed hair or something?" she asked. He smiled, and ran his fingers through her hair.

"No, you look beautiful," he replied. She smiled, and settled back against his chest, laying her hand across his stomach.

"Logan?"

"Hm?"

"You really meant what you said last night?"

He moved her head up to look him in the eyes. "Yes, of course I did. Rory, I told you. I love you. No questions, no going back."

Rory smiled, feeling completely reassured. "I love you, too Logan. But…"

A look of panic washed over Logan's face. "What?" he asked.

Rory laughed. "What are Colin and Finn going to think?"

Logan laughed. "I really don't care. They can think whatever the hell they want to think. It's not their business. And that was not funny."

"Yeah, it was a little funny." Rory stretched. "Mm….I need coffee."

"Okay, I'm taking that as a hint. Coffee….right." He gently moved Rory off of him, and got up to get dressed. He kissed her quickly before grabbing his wallet, and heading out.

Rory smiled, and lay back down, waiting for him to return.

A few minutes later, he did return, coffee in hand. He handed a cup to her, and smiled. She took a sip, and looked up at him, smiling.

"My favorite! Caramel macchiato! I knew there was a reason I was sleeping with you!" Logan shot her a look. She laughed. "I knew there was a reason I loved you," she corrected. He smiled, and lay back down on the bed.

She set her coffee down, and leaned over him, kissing him passionately.

"Do I get rewarded like this every time I bring you coffee you like?" he asked playfully, running his hands down her back, as she pulled his shirt off.

"Shut up, Huntzberger. You're ruining the moment," Rory said, as she kissed him again.

Logan laughed, as he rolled over, pinning her underneath him. "I think I can redeem myself."

"Maybe if you bring me really, really, really good coffee every day," Rory said, lying on Logan's chest, intertwining her fingers with his.

"What?" he asked slightly confused.

"You asked me if you get rewarded like that every time you bring me good coffee. That's my answer…because, wow."

Logan laughed. "Yeah…wow."

He bent down, and kissed her again. Rory pulled away, and moaned.

"Okay, we have to get up and get dressed before we get distracted again."

"And that would be a bad thing how?"

Rory gave him a look. "We have things to do…Life…"

"Ace, it's Sunday. What's so important that you want to get away from me?"

"I don't want to get away from you. Believe me, that's the last thing I want to do. I'm just saying, we can't hide out in my room all day…naked."

"Why not?"

"Logan!"

"Okay, okay. Look, I'll go back to my room, and get a shower, get dressed, all that good stuff, then I'll pick you up around 12:30, and we'll go to lunch, and discuss our plans for the rest of the day then, okay?"

Rory smiled. "See? This is why I love you…you know exactly what I want!"

Logan laughed, and kissed her before pulling himself away to get dressed.

After he had clothed himself, he leaned down to kiss Rory before heading out the door.

"I'll see you at 12:30," he said, leaving her smiling.

Rory sat on the couch, reading a magazine. At exactly 12:30, Rory heard a knock on the door.

"It's open!" she called, not looking up from her magazine.

The door opened, and Logan entered the suite, smiling.

"So, Ace, that's what you look like fully clothed? Hm…spin, so I can get a good look at you," he teased as she got off the couch, and made her way over to him.

She slapped him playfully, and laughed. "You are starting to sound like my mother. You're spending too much time with her."

Logan raised his eyebrow suggestively. "More than you think…"

"Logan!"

"Aw, I'm just messing with you, Ace," he said, pulling her to him. He laughed, watching her pout. "Ya know I love you, don't ya?"

Rory continued to pout. "Maybe…"

He kissed her. "Ace?" No response. He kissed her again, this time with more emphasis.

"Okay…I give in. Yes, Master and Commander, I know you love me. Now, I'm hungry. Buy me lunch."

"Wait, who said I was buying?"

"Logan…"

"Okay, fine, let's go, Ace." He took her hand, and led her out of the suite.

Rory and Logan sat in a booth of the pub, eating their lunch. Logan looked up at Rory and smiled. He thought she looked adorable when she ate. She didn't even realize he was watching her. She looked up and laughed.

"What?" she asked her mouth full of food.

Logan laughed, and shook his head. "Nothing, nothing…So, Ace, what would you like to do this afternoon?" he asked, setting down his drink.

Rory shook her head. "I don't know…why don't we go back to your place, and…watch a movie…drink really good coffee…and, I don't know…hang out?"

Logan nodded. "Sounds good to me. Ready to go?" Rory took one last sip of her drink, and nodded. Logan tossed the money down on the table, and stood, waiting for Rory to join him.

He slipped his arm around her waist, and exited the pub, heading for his dorm.

Logan opened the door to his dorm, with Rory laughing about something he'd said. They stopped when they looked over at the couch, and saw a tall, blonde girl sitting there.

She smiled, and walked over to Logan. "Well, look how long you let a girl wait."

"Honor…"

"Do you really think you're worth it?" Honor asked. Rory just stood in the door way, saying nothing. The old feeling of jealousy washed over her as she watched this pretty girl speak with Logan.

"What are you dong here?" Logan asked the girl. She smiled broadly.

"Obviously I'm begging for affection," she said.

Logan laughed, and hugged the girl. Rory shifted her weight to the other leg, and looked away uncomfortably. She didn't really know what to do.

"It's good to see you," Honor said. Logan smiled.

"You, too," he replied.

Rory couldn't take anymore. She finally spoke. "Um, Logan, maybe I should go…"

Logan looked back at her. "What? Oh sorry, God I just... uh, Rory this is my sister, Honor. Honor, Rory Gilmore."

Rory smiled. Sister…okay, I'm officially stupid. "Sister? Really? Oh, well, nice to meet you."

Honor smiled. "Nice to meet you, too."

Logan looked over at Rory, and smiled. She looked away, knowing what he was thinking.

"So, what's the occasion?" Logan said to Honor, still smiling at Rory.

"Well, little brother, I had to see you. You never check your email. I had to beg Jeff to let me in…so I could show you this," she said, holding up her left hand, revealing a large diamond ring on her ring finger.

Logan's eyes widened in shock. He grabbed Honor's hand to look at it closer. "Holy…"

"It happened last night."

"So, Josh finally gave in, huh?"

"Stop it, Logan. Josh is lucky I even looked at him in the first place."

Logan laughed. "Well, congratulations," he said, hugging her once more.

Rory smiled as he watched the two. It was obvious that the two siblings were close. It was nice to see this side of Logan…the family man.

"Tell Josh the bachelor party's on me."

Honor laughed. "Yeah, that's exactly what I want: You planning the bachelor party. Anyway, listen, I need a favor…I'm going to tell them tomorrow night at dinner, and I really need you to be there for support."

Logan moaned. "Come on…"

"Hey, I backed you up when you wanted to take a year off and sail around the world. I wired you the money when you sank the yacht-"

Logan sighed, and cut her off. "Okay, okay…I will be there."

Honor smiled, and giggled. "Thank you! I love you, I love you, I love you. Now I can breathe and focus on you," she said, turning to Rory. "Hi." Rory smiled awkwardly.

"Hi…"

"Okay, wow. I'm totally blanking…Your name is…?"

"Rory… Rory Gilmore," she said, smiling.

Logan smiled. "Yeah, Rory's my, uh…" he hesitated. He realized that he had never actually called her his girlfriend. "Um, she's my…girlfriend."

Rory smiled at Logan. She liked hearing that. It fit.

Honor looked over at him, shocked. Logan knew why she was staring at him. He looked away, not knowing what to say.

"Girlfriend, huh?" Rory asked playfully.

Logan gave her a look. "Something wrong?" Rory shook her head, before Honor spoke again.

"I'm sorry…did you say 'girlfriend'?"

"Yes," Logan replied. I don't see why I have to defend this statement…I love her…she's my girlfriend…I don't need to justify this to people.

"It's true," Rory said with a smile.

"Oh my god! I've never heard him call anyone his girlfriend before. Well…except for Alyssa Milano, but that was during his weird 'Who's the Boss' phase…"

Logan decided it was time to make his sister stop talking. He began to push her towards the door. "Wow, look at that! Time sure flies when you're being pushed out the door!"

Honor got out of Logan's grasp. "Okay, I'm sorry." She turned to Rory and smiled. "You must come to dinner, too!"

"Uh, well…" Rory stuttered. She didn't know what to say.

"No, really, girlfriend, says the whitest woman in the world, come. Please come. It will make it more festive, and distracting."

Logan stepped up, and smiled protectively at Rory. "We'll see," he said, ushering Honor towards the door.

"Call me," she said as Logan shut the door.

He turned to Rory and smiled. "So…that was my sister."

"If you don't want me to go, it's fine," Rory said, looking at the floor. He didn't want me to meet his family…

Logan stepped towards her, and pushed her head up, forcing her to look at him. "What? No, no, I want you to go. Why wouldn't I? Of course I want to show you off to my family." Rory continued to look away. "Hey," he said softly. She finally looked into his eyes. "Don't ever think I'm not proud of you…I love you, and I want you to meet my family. It's just…Honor's one of those people who are great, but in small dosages."

Rory smiled.

"I'll call her later, and let her know we're both going."

Rory smiled once again. "So…now I'm just a trophy girlfriend?" she asked playfully.

Logan smiled, and kissed her. "That, and so much more."
