A/N- Sorry it has taken me so long to update I have been very busy. Thanks to everyone for the reviews. Anyway, on with chapter.
Chapter 4- The First Date:
Rory walked into the kitchen of her apartment and started to make breakfast she had only an hour to get ready for work. So she popped a waffle into the toaster and went and got dressed.
Rory had finished getting dressed and walked out of her bedroom to find coffee on the table. Paris must have come back from her run. Rory pulled her waffle out of the toaster and grabbed her coffee and was out the door.
Rory parked her car and got out and started to walk to her office building she had 10 minutes to get there.
"You just made it Rory." Kyle said to Rory.
"I always do." Rory said to Kyle as they both walked into the building. "Ok, so brief me, any new stories."
"Well, there was a baby born in a subway last night, and the paper is doing a tribute to Johnny Carson." Kyle said to Rory as they got into the elevator.
"Ok, and today's article for me is what exactly." Rory said as they exited the elevator.
"You are doing the Johnny Carson story." Kyle said as Rory sat down in her office. "Here is everything you need for it, if you have any questions then come and ask me."
"Ok, and Kyle can you call my mom and tell that I have a date this weekend and I can't come home." Rory said to her assistant.
"Sure, Rory I will get right on that."
Rory had been working for about an hour now.
"Rory, phone call someone named Logan." Kyle said into the intercom.
"Thanks I will take it." Rory said and picked up the phone. "Hey how are you?"
"Wow, a big business lady has her own assistant." Logan said.
"Yup, what's up?" Rory asked as she continued to type her story.
"Well in order to pick you up for our date on Friday night I need to know where you live." Logan said sweetly.
"Ok I live at 37 Park Ave. apartment 3b." Rory said still typing away at her story so she could make the deadline. "Logan, I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude but I have a deadline to make and I really need to concentrate can I call you later on my lunch hour." Rory said nicely.
"Of course I didn't mean to disturb you talk to you later. Love you." Logan said.
"Love you too." Rory said and hung up. "Kyle, if anyone else calls could you just say that I'm in a meeting and I will call them back." Rory said into the intercom.
"Sure. Would you like some coffee?" Kyle said.
"Kyle, do you not know me at all." Rory said.
"You're right, one coffee coming up." Kyle said.
About a minute later Kyle knocked on her office door and entered.
"Here is your coffee." Kyle said and put it on her desk.
"Thank you and could you give this to Jonathan." Rory said handing him some paper work.
"Sure. Do you need anything else?" Kyle asked.
"Nope that's it for now. Thanks Kyle." Rory said and Kyle left.
About an hour later Rory had finished her article, printed it out and walked out of her office with her bag in hand.
"Kyle do you mind proofing this for me?" Rory asked.
"Of course not." Kyle said.
"Ok, see you in an hour I'm taking my lunch break." Rory said.
"Ok and Rory, your mother called about fifteen minutes ago." Kyle said.
"Thanks Kyle for telling me." Rory said as she walked towards the elevator.
Rory walked down the street to her usual lunch spot a deli.
"Hi Pete can I have my usual please?" Rory asked.
"Sure thing a turkey sandwich coming up." Pete said with a smile.
Rory sat down and took out her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hi can I talk to Logan Huntzberger please?" Rory said to the women who answered the phone.
"Sure can I tell him whose calling?" The women asked.
"Rory
Gilmore."
"Alright hold on." The women said. "Mr.
Huntzberger, there is a Rory Gilmore on line 3
for you."
"Thank you Christine I will take it." Logan said
into the intercom. "Hello beautiful."
"Hello to you too." Rory said.
"How has your day gone so far?" Logan asked.
"I finished my
article." Rory said as her sandwich was handed to her. "Thanks
Pete."
"Who's Pete?" Logan asked.
"He's the guy who works at the deli." Rory said while taking a bite.
"Ok, what's your schedule like for the rest of the day?" Logan asked.
"I'm going back to the office after lunch. Then I have a staff meeting." Rory said taking another bite of her sandwich. "What's on your schedule?"
"Well I take my lunch brake in a half hour then I'm done for the day." Logan said
"You're lucky." Rory said. "Look I have to go I have to call my mom before I head back to the office."
"Ok, I will talk to you later then. Love You." Logan said.
"Love You Too. Bye." And with that Rory hung up.
Rory dialed her mother's number on her cell phone.
"Hello, Dragonfly INN." Michel said into the phone.
"Hi Michel its Rory, is my mom there?" Rory asked.
"Yes sure one moment." Michel said. "Your daughter is on the phone." Michel said to Lorelai who was standing right next to him.
"Thanks." Lorelai said taking the phone from him. "Hello my darling daughter."
"Hey mom, how are you?" Rory asked.
"I'm fine but I heard that you have a date on Friday." Lorelai said.
"Yes, mom I do have a date on Friday." Rory said smiling as she threw out her garbage. "Bye, Pete."
"Bye Rory." Pete said.
"Sorry mom." Rory said while leaving the deli.
"It's ok. So, who's your date with?" Lorelai asked.
"Logan Hunzberger." Rory said.
"Wow, that was fast weren't you just saying how you were falling in love with him." Lorelai said with a laugh.
"Yes mom." Rory said laughing.
"Well, I'm happy for you." Lorelai said with a smile.
"Thanks mom." Rory said while walking into a Starbucks. "Joe, can I have a large coffee please?"
"Sure." Joe said to Rory.
"Sorry mom. So anyway I can come on Sunday if you want." Rory said as she paid for her coffee. "Thanks Joe see you later."
"See you later Rory." Joe said as Rory left.
"Sunday would be great babe, bring Logan with you." Lorelai said.
"Ok mom I will. Talk to you later." Rory said and hung up.
Rory walked back into her office to find that there was no corrections to her paper and a note that said "Meeting is canceled, you can go home a little early." Rory smiled she turned off her computer and left for the day.
Before Rory knew it, it was Friday. She took off of work to go shopping with Paris who had the day off as well.
"I need a new dress, knowing Logan he is going to take me some place special." Rory said to Paris who was looking at some shirts that were on the rack.
"Alright, then lets go to Bloomingdales where I'm sure they have a lot of gorgeous dresses for you to where." Paris said to Rory who was now dragging her out of the store.
As Paris and Rory walked into the dress department at Bloomingdales they saw someone who looked very familiar to them.
"Rory, Pairs. OMG what are you both doing here." The mysterious person said.
"It couldn't be could it?" Rory said to Paris who was just standing there. The mysterious person came up to them and gave both of them a hug.
"Rory, Paris it's me Madeline."
"Wow, Madeline your looking good. What are you doing here?" Paris asked.
"What, you didn't hear Louise is getting married." Madeline said.
"No we didn't hear." Paris said.
"Yeah she is. So what are you both doing here?" Madeline asked.
"Rory has a hot date tonight and needs a dress." Paris said smiling.
"Wow Rory, is it with Dean?" Madeline said as Rory twitched.
"No it's with a guy that I graduated from Yale with." Rory said thinking of Logan. "It was nice talking to you Madeline but we have to go now."
"We will get together sometime soon." Madeline yelled after them.
Paris just waved a hand of acknowledgement.
"Wow she has changed a lot." Rory said looking through different dresses.
"Yeah she has. Hey, what do you think of this dress?" Paris said as she pulled a dress out from the rack that looked like a celebrity could wear it.
"Wow that is gorgeous. What size is it?" Rory asked examining the dress.
"It's a size 8." Paris said looking at the price tag.
"That's perfect (A/N- I don't really know Rory's size so I just made it up.)." Rory said also looking at the price tag.
"Paris I don't think I can afford this." Rory said.
"That's ok I will pay for half. You deserve this." Paris said smiling.
The girls walked up to the counter to pay. They both took out credit cards. They paid and left they got home at just about 3:00 p.m.
"I have to call Logan he never told me what time he was picking me up. I will call and then I will shower." Rory said going into her bedroom.
Rory picked up the cordless and dialed Logan's cell phone number.
"Hello." The sweet voice said.
"Hey it's Rory."
"Hey how are you?" Logan asked.
"I'm good. I just wanted to know what time you were picking me up tonight." Rory said to Logan.
"Around 6:30 I will be there." Logan said.
"Alright I will see you then. Bye." Rory said.
"Bye." and with that they both hung up.
Rory got into the shower and did her hair and makeup and got dressed by the time she was done it was 6:15. Before Rory knew it, it was 6:30 and there was a knock at her door.
"Wow you have a nice building." Logan said as Rory opened the door.
"Thanks. Come in let me just get my coat and bag. Make yourself comfortable." Rory said exiting the room.
"You look beautiful." Logan said as Rory entered the room putting on her coat, Logan got up and helped Rory.
"Thank you." Rory said.
"You ready to go?" Logan asked.
"Yes. Paris I'm leaving." Rory yelled as they walked out the door.
Logan helped Rory into his SUV, he got into the drivers seat and started to drive.
"Where are we going?" Rory asked.
"If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise." Logan said with a laugh he had put a blind fold on her to cover her eyes.
Logan finally stopped the SUV and got out to help Rory.
"Well, were here." Logan finally said.
"It feels like we have been driving for hours." Rory said as Logan guided her.
"We have been driving for an hour." Logan said. "Watch there are steps."
"Thanks." Rory said beginning to climb the steps.
They finally made it into the building that Logan was leading her to.
"Just stand here I will be right back." Logan said and left.
Logan went and turned on lights and hit the play button on the stereo. He went back over to Rory and took the blindfold off.
"OMG, Logan this is so beautiful." Rory said in awe.
"I'm glad you like it. Do you know where we are?" He asked Rory with a smile.
Rory looked around finally realized where she was. "Logan, are we in Stars Hollow?" Rory asked looking into his eyes.
"Yes, we are. We are in Miss Patty's dance studio." Logan said.
"Have I ever told you that you're amazing?" Rory said smiling.
"Not today." Logan said with a laugh. "Can, I have this dance?" Logan asked offering Rory his hand.
"Yes, you can." Rory said taking his hand.
As they danced to Barry White's Can't Get Enough of Your Love, they looked into each other's eyes.
When the song ended they shared a kiss. "Would you like to go to dinner now?" Logan asked.
"Sure I can always eat." Rory said with a laugh.
Logan put the blindfold back over Rory's eyes once they had traveled down the steps of Miss Patty's dance studio. To Rory it seemed like they had walked for a long time before they got to dinner, but finally Logan was able to tell her that there were some more steps. They went in and sat down. Logan took the blindfold off of Rory's eyes. There in front of her stood Luke in a tuxedo poring both Logan and Rory coffee.
"Can I take your order?" Luke asked.
"Yes, I will have a cheeseburger and chili fries." Rory said.
"I will have the same." Logan said.
"I will be right back." Luke said.
"Wow, Logan you really have outdone yourself." Rory said admiring Luke's.
"Thank you." Logan said.
Luke brought the food. Rory and Logan ate and talked for what seemed like hours. Logan paid for the food and walked outside with Rory hand in hand. They walked over to the gazebo and sat down on a bench. They watched the stars for a while then Logan looked into Rory's eyes and kissed her. Rory broke the kiss.
"This has been the most romantic night of my life." Rory said to Logan.
"I'm glad that you have enjoyed it." Logan said leaning in to kiss her. "Come on I have one more thing to show you."
"Ok." Rory said. "Logan, where are we going?"
"You will see." Logan responded helping Rory get into his SUV.
Logan got in on the drivers side and started the car. He started to drive and finally pulled into a driveway. Logan turned the car off and got out; he went around to the passenger's side to help Rory.
"Logan, why are we at my mom's house?" Rory asked walking up the steps.
"I told you I have one more thing to show you." Logan said ringing the doorbell.
"I'm coming." A voice came from inside the house.
Lorelai opened the door.
"Logan, Rory come on in." Lorelai said.
"Hi." Rory said giving her mom a kiss.
"Make yourself at home." Lorelai said to Rory and Logan.
"Lorelai I came here because I would like to ask you something." Logan said getting up.
"Logan what are you doing?" Rory asked.
"Rory, it's ok." Logan said. "Lorelai, I would like to ask you if I can date your daughter."
"You mean my permission?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes." Logan said with a smile.
"Well then you have my permission." Lorelai said getting up to give Logan a hug while smiling.
"Thank you Lorelai, it means a lot to me." Logan said hugging Lorelai back.
Rory was smiling she couldn't believe that Logan had just done this. She has found the right man.
About 2 hours later Lorelai and Logan were talking and Rory had fallen asleep on the couch, Logan didn't want to wake her up so he carried her over to her bedroom and put her into bed he closed her door and went back into the living room where Lorelai was still sitting.
"I guess we are going to stay here and leave in the morning." Logan said to Lorelai.
"That's ok do you want to sleep in my bed and I will sleep on the couch." Lorelai offered.
"No I will sleep here thanks." Logan said.
"Alright, let me just get you a blanket." Lorelai said going into the linen closet. "Here you go. Would you like a pillow?"
"That would be great thanks." Logan said.
Lorelai brought back a pillow. Logan took it from her. Lorelai went upstairs to her bedroom. Logan took off his jacket, tie and shirt luckily he was wearing an undershirt. Logan put the pillow on the couch and lied down he put the blanket over him. He smiled and went to sleep.
