Rory always loved her bed but she loved it so much more when Logan was in it. They had finished their "fun" at least an hour ago but decided to take a nap then stay in bed. It was still early and uncharacteristic for Rory to stay in bed so long but when she was with Logan she didn't care where she was. Who cared if the sun was out and it was the perfect day for some outdoor reading, or shopping, which Steph has recently re-inspired in Rory. After being away from her mom so long she almost forgot the fun of all day shopping.
"You know what I'm craving?" She asked Logan.
"You mean besides me?"
"Ha-Ha" she responded sarcastically. "Actually I was thinking I am totally in the mood for 'The Demise of Taylor'"
"I'm sorry?" Logan said utterly confused.
"It's a unofficial item on the menu at my mom's Inn. It's a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream with strawberry sauce, chocolate chips and a chocolate figurine man. It's to die for."
"I'm guessing the chocolate guy is Taylor?'
"Yup! Order that and they know you're VIP."
"I'll keep that in mind," Logan laughed. He loved hearing crazy stories of Stars Hallow. He could totally see how Rory became how she was. Quirky but loveable. The town was mystical to him and he was secretly waiting for Rory to bring him there. If it wasn't soon he may have to bring her there himself. "What time is it?"
Rory looked at her cell phone. "It's almost 2. I should go. We have a meeting at the paper."
"Come on Ace, they can survive without you," he kissed her and she eventually pulled away and began to get dressed.
"As enticing as your offer is we pick our topics today and I need to get the article on the online hackers who are messing with the cafeteria menu as well as their GPAs."
"Who knew I was dating such a nerd?"
"Hey!" she faked hurt.
"A beautiful, wonderful, funny, sexy nerd though"
"Much better!" she was fully dressed and searched the room for her bag.
"It's in the living room." Logan said noticing her dismay.
"You're amazing," she leaned over and kissed him goodbye and he pulled her off of her feet and back into bed.
"Logan!" she laughed, "I really gotta go! I'll call you later."
"Bye Ace," he whispered as the door shut.
Rory's cell phone rang almost immediately after she left Logan's dorm.
"Hello?'
Paris's voice surged through the phone. "Gilmore, thank god I thought you were dead!"
"Paris, this is the first time you called me."
"I shouldn't have to call you! You should be here. Do you have any idea what today is?"
"Monday" Rory had no idea where Paris was heading with this conversation and she was in too good of a mood to be irritated by her.
"Exactly! It's Monday! And every Monday we pick our topic for the paper. And every Monday you are here and we discuss my topics and you help me choose the one that will further benefit my career as a world renowned reporter but you're not here Gilmore, you're not here!"
"I'm sorry Paris, I was at Logan's"
"I don't care were you were Rory, you were not here, you are still not here. What am I supposed to do?"
"Breathing between sentences may be a good idea. And meet me outside the news room and we'll go over your topics. I can meet you there ten minutes before the meeting."
"I always get 20. And I always use the full 20!"
"If you leave right now we can get in 15 minutes."
There was no goodbye but Rory could hear the click of the phone on the other end. She laughed at her roommate's craziness. Rory could barely think of one person close to her in her life that didn't have their own crazy quality.
After Rory and Paris finally decided on Paris's topic they headed towards their meeting. Doyle was seated waiting for everyone to come. Rory thought that everyone was there so didn't understand why they hadn't started. Paris asked her question for her, "Doyle, what is going on? Some of us have schedules that do not include waiting an extra," she looked at her watch, "three minutes!"
"There's a new guy we have to wait for. Take it out on him okay!" The door behind Rory opened though she didn't notice, "Finally," Doyle said, "Okay staff members we have a new guy with us. He wrote for the Princeton paper and will headline our sports section. Of course" the last two words Doyle almost spoke to himself. Rory turned around to see no one other than Tristan. You have to be kidding she thought. But then she began to wonder if maybe they could become friends. They always had some sort of chemistry and maybe that could turn in to a fun dynamic in a friendship. She also felt somewhat guilty about how she treated him earlier. He knew she was just kidding around but still, she hadn't seen him in two years and was sincerely happy to see him again. After Tristan was introduced to everyone and topics were assigned Rory went over to her desk as Tristan approached her.
"So Mary, looks like we'll be seeing more of each other."
"Tristan, listen I'm sorry if I was rude to you today. As hard as it is to believe, I am actually happy that you're at Yale."
"So my presence excites you Mary?" Tristan smiled.
"I wouldn't put it that way. But I hope that you can put away your ego for more than five minutes and maybe we can become friends."
"I can do friends. But it's gunna take some getting used to. When I'm around you hitting on you or pissing you off is like second nature."
"I can't tell if that's a compliment or not."
"With you Mary, everything's a compliment."
Rory rolled her eyes. She didn't think that Tristan's attempts would every actually subside. In a way she kind of enjoyed it. Not that she would ever cheat on Logan or even want to end things with him but it was still nice to know she was wanted. She silently yelled at herself for even thinking it but any girl would be crazy not to be flattered by Tristan's interest.
"So are you going to come to Colin and Finn's tonight?"
"I haven't decided yet. Have to check my schedule."
"I forgot you're Mr. Popular. But you should really try to make it."
"Mary, I'm flattered. First you're happy I'm at Yale now you want to spend time with me? A lot has changed since Chilton."
"Yes and no. I still don't want you," she laughed, "but maybe as a friend."
"Maybe? And I vaguely remember you having some interest in me."
"You must be confusing me with Paris," Rory tried to get the subject off of her and Tristan.
"Ahhh, Paris. How is she? I thought I saw her here a second ago."
"Yea, she's probably already off doing her story. She's good, she's still Paris."
"And that's a good thing?"
"Depends on your point of view I guess. So what made you come to Yale? What dorm are you in? Do you like it so far?" Rory's rapid questions caused Tristan to slow her down.
"So many questions Mary. You sure you're not interested?"
"About as sure as I am that I need a coffee."
"I'll make you a deal. You come with me for coffee and I'll answer your ever so important questions."
"Okay, I'll come. But only cause I need the caffeine."
"Whatever you say Mary."
When Logan decided to look for his girlfriend at the coffee kiosk he expected her to be alone. But once again she was accompanied with the tall blonde rich guy who he already hated. The thing that bothered him wasn't that he was there but the fact that Rory didn't look like she didn't want to be there. She was laughing. This random guy who she supposedly had no past with was making her happy. Logan knew each one of Rory's smiles and every one of her laughs and she was truly enjoying herself. In any other situation he would go over, sit right next to her, kiss her gently, and continue to exchange veiled insults with the guy but Tristan was different. Tristan would enjoy it. So instead he turned around and walked back to his dorm. He decided he'd mention it to Rory later. He hated that he was so intimidated by Tristan. What he hated more was how mad it made him.
He kept thinking about how close they were sitting to each other and how his hand practically touched hers. She didn't have her purse with he so he obviously paid. The whole scene made him crazy. So he did a crazy thing. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number he hadn't needed in months. Amanda. She was the first one in his alphabetical phone book besides Rory. She was only at the top because the was titled " 3 Rory."
"Logan Huntzenberger. Well last I heard you were off the market." God damn caller ID Logan thought to himself.
"Hey Amanda. Can't a friend call another friend for non-sexual intentions?"
"Sure, normal people can but you're anything but normal when it comes to relationships Logan. Not that I'm complaining."
"Hear about Finn and Colin's tonight?'
"Of course. What did you think I fell off the face of the earth or something? Everyone's heard about it."
"Wanna go?'
"Oh babe, I'm already going. Do you mean do I want to go with you?"
"Yea" God now I know why I don't miss these girls, Rory's retorts are so much better
"Of course. Pick me up at 9?"
"Okay, I'll be there. Bye"
"Bye baby"
As soon as he hung up the phone he regretted it. He didn't want to be with other girls. He wanted Rory. But right now he was loosing the confidence that she wanted him. But what was he thinking? He had a girlfriend. A girlfriend whom he'd like to stay as his girlfriend. Did he just mess everything up? But as soon as he looked down at his cell and realized he still had no missed calls from her even though she'd been done with the paper for almost three hours he decided he didn't care. Even though he cared more than anything.
