Chapter 5
::Motives Unveiled::
Logan stood in the entranceway to the living room looking at Rory and Tristan sitting on the piano bench. He smiled, walked over to where Rory sat, and gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead.
"It's good to see you two getting along—the two people I care about most," Logan grinned and pulled Rory into a tight embrace. He didn't suspect a thing.
Tristan just stared at the couple. He could feel a slight pang in his heart as he saw how happy Rory looked.
"So what do you say we go hit the pool?" Logan directed at Rory and Tristan.
Rory immediately jumped up and agreed. She rushed off toward her room to get changed. Then she doubled back, remembering that she didn't really know where anything was. "Uh…where is the pool?"
"First floor, out the back door. If you get lost, ask the butler," both Logan and Tristan replied in unison. They laughed, and Rory skipped off, "Okay. See you in a few!"
As Logan was heading off toward his room, he saw Tristan still sitting on the piano bench. He hadn't moved an inch.
"Hey! You coming?" Logan called.
"Oh! Yeah!" Tristan jerked back to reality and got up to get changed.
---------------------------------------------
In her room, Rory was debating whether or not to wear the modest one-piece suit she had packed or the scandalous bikini that Lorelai had insisted she also bring along. She tried both on, looking at her reflection in the mirror. In the end, Rory decided on the bikini. She figured that since it was spring break, she should let loose and listen to her mother for once. Rory quickly put it before she could change her mind and covered herself with a dark blue sarong and a t-shirt. She grabbed a towel and headed downstairs.
With not too much trouble, Rory was able to navigate through the house toward the pool area. She stepped out the back door and gasped at the sight of the gorgeous pool. It was a beautifully warm spring day, and the sun-soaked ground was warm to her bare feet. As she approached the pool, she could make out two blonde heads bobbing on the surface. Rory made her way to a lounge chair and dropped her towel. She proceeded to take off her t-shirt and sarong. She hesitated a little at being caught out in the open in such skimpy attire. As she was stripping, the two heads turned towards her. Rory expected them to greet her or make sexual innuendos at her or something, but there was only silence. She turned to look at them. Their eyes were wide and their mouths were practically hitting the bottom of the pool. Rory blushed.
Finally, the two boys fell out of their stupor. Logan stuttered, "Hey…Rory."
Tristan just looked away, and called, "Come on in! The water's fine!" He tried to make his voice sound calm. He had never in the least expected Rory Gilmore to show up at his house, but Rory Gilmore in a bikini in his pool! It was all getting to be a bit much.
Rory shyly walked to the stairs and slowly tiptoed into the pool. The water was warm, and it felt nice to submerge herself beneath the surface. When she resurfaced again, Rory swam towards to two boys. The three college students floated and chatted for a couple of hours. Then they moved over to the hot tub. After about fifteen minutes, they decided to return to the pool. Tristan jumped in first, then Logan. Rory, however, wasn't too keen on jumping in, knowing that the pool water would feel cold after she had spent so much time in the hot tub.
As Rory neared the edge of the pool, Tristan splashed Rory, causing her to shriek at the chilliness. Tristan laughed, and continued to grab her arm and pull her in. When Rory's head popped up, she had a look of shock, but that quickly faded into playful anger. She chased Tristan around the pool as Logan sat back and watched.
"I swear! You're going to pay, DuGrey!!" Rory splashed Tristan.
"I'm already wet, so splashing me isn't going do a whole lot," Tristan grinned.
"When you least expect it…" Rory threatened.
"What? What are you going to do? Huh?" Tristan taunted.
"I'm going to go into your room late at night when you're sleeping and—"Rory was thinking up a plan.
Tristan cut her off, "Rape me." He finished her sentence with an evil smirk. "I didn't think that was the way you worked, Mary," Tristan feigned disappointment.
Rory just splashed him again, laughing. "No, no. Try…stab you," Rory corrected Tristan.
"You'd stab me?!" Tristan acted surprised and hurt. "But I thought we were friends…"
Logan shook his head, laughing, and interjected, "Okay, kids. I'm getting all prune-y over here. Let's get out. I'm hungry, but it's almost dinnertime." Rory and Tristan complied, and they each headed to his or her respective room.
---------------------------------------------
Rory took a hot shower to rinse off all the chlorine. After her shower, she blow dried her hair, and put it up into a messy bun. She put on a semi-casual, semi-formal dress for dinner. When she was done, she trekked across the hallway to knock on Logan's door to find out what the plans were.
"Why, hello, Ace," Logan answered his door in a gentlemanly manner. "You look lovely this evening."
"Thank you," Rory replied as Logan let her in. "So…what time is dinner?"
"7:30pm sharp," Logan replied. He looked at his watch, "But we still have a half an hour."
"I'm bored," Rory pouted.
"I can make you un-bored," Logan smirked suggestively.
"If you mean by playing a board game then I'm all for it," Rory acted innocently.
"Or we could do that," Logan agreed, laughing.
Soon, it was dinnertime, and Rory and Logan walked downstairs toward the dinning room, arm in arm. When they entered the dinning room, Tristan was already there, along with an older man and woman. They were making small talk, so Logan interrupted them.
"This is Rory Gilmore," Logan introduced her to the man and woman. They looked up and smiled at Rory.
The man stood, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Rory. I'm Mitchum." He held out his hand, and Rory shook it.
"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Huntzburger," Rory smiled sweetly.
"Oh do call me Mitchum," he insisted.
Logan led Rory to meet the lady. She stood and gave Rory a tight hug, "Hello, sweetie! Call me Karen. Mrs. Huntzburger makes me feel so old." She winked at Rory who smiled back. So these were the parents/stepparents of Logan and Tristan. Rory definitely enjoyed their company.
Rory took a seat across the table from Logan, next to Tristan. To Rory, dinner was fantastic. The setting was much like Friday night dinners with her grandparents, but the company was a bit different. There wasn't any nagging, and there weren't any sarcastic remarks; it was pleasant.
After dinner, dessert, and coffee, Rory decided to head up to her room to finish unpacking, since she hadn't done that yet. She left the two boys in the living room, drinking wine.
"So…how long have you and Rory been together?" Tristan probed.
"Oh…about five months," Logan replied.
"Wow! Is this the longest relationship you've ever had?" Tristan asked, surprised that Logan hadn't moved on to a new infatuation yet. After all, Logan was usually such a playboy.
"Yeah! I know! Usually I just have flavors of the week or something. Rory, however, is different. She's still a virgin, you know," Logan said.
At that, Tristan wasn't surprised. Rory was a true Mary at heart.
"But by the end of spring break, that'll be changed," Logan smirked.
Tristan was shocked that Logan would do such a thing to ruin Rory's purity. Tristan asked, "Why? Why would you do that?!"
"What do you mean? You knew her in high school, right? Tell me you never thought about it. To get the perfect, pure, virgin to sleep with you…that would be so great! I can get any bimbo to sleep with me. They're so easy, but Rory…Rory is different. She's a real challenge. And I love challenges," Logan explained it to Tristan as if it was common sense.
But Tristan knew what Logan meant. Of course, in high school, that was how he saw Rory Gilmore. That was exactly what Rory Gilmore was to him, a challenge. But things changed. Rory touched him like no one ever had, and she was no longer a game to Tristan.
"I know, but she really likes you!" Tristan was desperately trying to get Logan to change his mind.
"Oh. Don't get me wrong. I like her too, and she's fun to pursue," Logan explained. "Why do you care so much, Tristan? I mean you do the same thing. We're practically identical." With that, Logan headed off to his room to sleep.
When Logan was gone, Tristan whispered to himself, "No. We're not identical. I love Rory, and you don't."

YAY! I finally updated! lol sorry for making you wait so long :)
Anyway…tell me what you think of it! So Logan's motives aren't all that virtuous…what's gonna happen?? hehe
I do realize that it's probably not THAT warm during spring break in Connecticut, but too bad. They went swimming anyway. And also, for all you who missed my note about how Tristan's mom married Logan's dad, well there you go. Sorry for the confusion.
Sorry if the bikini thing was ooc for Rory.
And there you have it!
Much love,
Sweet
