oh...i dont own anything except my story lol

Knock knock Logan was quickly distracted from his reading of Machavelli and went to the door. As soon as he opened it and saw Rory all his anger subsided and he was just happy to see her there.

"Hey Ace"

She kissed him softly and entered the room. She walked by the couch where he was just sitting and saw the open book on the coffee table.

"Did I just catch Logan Huntzenberger reading"

He laughed quietly, "Yea, I tend to do that from time to time."

"I just never assumed you would do it so publicly. Wouldn't want to ruin that image of yours."

He already felt himself loosing the desire to know about her and Tristan's day because of her smile and decided to refocus.

"So, what you do all day?"

She sat down on the couch and flipped through the book casually. He loved how comfortable she was in his dorm. He loved how she flipped each page. He loved how her eyes darted over the words. He just loved it.

"Got my topic, thankfully! Then stayed at the paper and got an early start on it because judging by Finn's excitement I think we'll be too hung over to get out of bed tomorrow." She laughed at her self produced joke. Should she mention Tristan? It wasn't a big deal and she didn't feel like arguing. But at the same time keeping it from him seemed even more dangerous.

"That all?" One more chance Rory, come on.

"Well actually," she knew she had to word this right, "Surprisingly Tristan joined the paper so I hung out with him for a little while. You know catching him up on how the whole thing works and deadlines and all that stuff that is extremely uninteresting."

Thank you Rory. And she rambled. I love when she does that. Wait, she was still with him. But she told me, that must count as something.

"Oh" Great response Logan, clever. God since when are you so insecure?

"Logan, it wasn't like that. We're old friends, that's it, I promise." By now Rory had gotten off the couch and walked up to Logan. She put her hands in his and moved closer. "I have no interest in Tristan Dugrey or any other guy besides you."

"That's good cause neither do I."

"You have no interest in any other guys? You sure?"

Logan smiled, completely reassured, "Well maybe Finn but I'm not a red head so it would never work."

Rory giggled slightly while bringing her lips closer to his, "I think you'd make a cute red head"
"Think so?" Logan practically whispered before his lips met with hers. Rory thought it was amazing that each time they got this close he still managed to set every inch of her on fire. After a few more minutes Rory broke from the kiss regretfully.

"I should go get ready, just wanted to drop in and say hi."

"Say hi again," Logan pleaded as he kissed her again. It was so hard to turn away from him. He was so gentle, so soft, so perfect.

"Well when I leave I'm going to eventually come back then there will be more greetings." She kissed him quickly then grabbed her bag. "So come to my dorm at around 9 and we'll walk over."

Shit. Picking up at 9, why did that have to sound so familiar? One stupid moment of jealousy and now Logan had to deal with a whole new type of problem. "Yea, of course." He kissed her once more and then was left alone. He could call and cancel. Did he really want to have to call her? He couldn't just stand her up. Yes, he had to do it, so he grabbed his cell and pressed send twice.

"Two calls in one day, how could a girl be so lucky?" can't she ever just say hello?

"Hey Amanda, about tonight. I'm gunna have to cancel."

"You're not going?" Shit, great Logan you can't hide from the girl all night. Okay, so no flu, no family emergency, no parental high society party…truth? Oh god

"Actually, I am…just with my girlfriend."

"Disappointing but not surprising. I heard you were pretty head over heels for the reporter. Oh well. I'll see you around Logan."

"Bye Amanda."

Amanda wasn't the brightest of the girls at Yale, or in the world for that matter, but she was right about one thing…Logan Huntzberger had definitely fallen for Rory Gilmore.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah, Miss Rory Gilmore! So glad you could join us at these wonderful festivities. Bring any friends?" Finn not-so-discreetly asked.

"Sorry Finn, just Logan tonight. But it looks as though you have plenty to choose from."

The party was filled wall to wall with people, mostly girls. And to Rory's dismay a majority of them fit Finn's standards: thin, short skirts, small tops, and even smaller intellectual abilities.

"Love, can I tell you a secret?" Finn leaned closer to Rory as Logan used the moment to grab some drinks. "And this must be kept off the record Reporter Girl."

"Of course Finn."

"I've already slept with almost all of them. And I'm afraid to hit on those whom I just cannot remember. Because you can be sure that they'd remember me. Speaking of, have we…?"

Rory laughed at Finn's confession and his following question, "Unless there's a dream that you haven't told me about then no we haven't."

"Well wouldn't you like to know the answer to that." Just as Finn had finished his sentence Logan interrupted with drinks.

"Here Ace, and for you Finn, your favorite…" Logan handed Finn a bottle of vodka and his eyes lit up as if he were a little boy who had just gotten his first baseball mitt. Rory never questioned what Logan gave her…she trusted his judgment and from conversations with Marty she could normally guess what she was drinking. After a few sips she decided that tonight's first drink was a cosmopolitan. She and Logan mingled for a while and suddenly a blonde girl about Rory's height jumped right between her and Logan un-expectantly.

"Thank god, a girl I don't want to drown face down in the punch! Oh, hey Logan."

"Stephanie, you look lovely tonight. And pissed off as well. What did my friend Colin do this time?"

"What didn't he do? His eyes haven't left another girl's body for more than 5 minutes. I swear to God sometimes you boys are so frustrating."

"I second that." Rory chimed in.

"Hey, what did I do tonight?" Logan asked playfully defensively.

"Nothing but I'm sure I could think of something in the past week." She smiled at him and sipped her drink casually.

"Well, let's not spend too much time thinking about that." He kissed her sweetly and she silently agreed. Stephanie rolled her eyes and made her way to the bar. Rory told Logan she'd be back and not to go far, she just had to go to the bathroom.

While she was waiting she heard Logan's name uttered by a group of girls in the corner. Being the journalist she is she had to eavesdrop.

"So Logan Huntzberger called you?"

"Yup, I was just as surprised as you are. He even invited me here tonight." Rory's face dropped.

"I don't believe you Amanda, I saw him here with his girlfriend. Nice try."

"Well believe it Cassandra, he called and within a few hours he called to cancel. They either fought or he was getting bored then changed his mind. Who knows? All I know is that I was very close to re-hooking Logan into the singles' pool."

Rory was on the edge of crying but couldn't not listen to the conversation.

"But he cancelled which means he must be as into this girl as I've heard. I mean it's not easy to get Logan to commit. I still can't believe he almost strayed."

"I wouldn't call it straying. He said it was just as friends but still. I don't think his girlfriend would love hearing about that."

Rory saw the ideal moment to stop the conversation and find Logan. She turned around and walked to be face to face to the girls, "Being that I am Logan's girlfriend, I thought I should tell you that you're right, I didn't love hearing that." After seeing the shocked look on Amanda and her friends' faces she went straight to Logan.

"Ace, I was starting to worry that you got lost. I got you another drink."

"I don't need another drink Logan. But maybe your other date would like it." Rory was raising her voice but she really didn't care. Logan pulled her aside attempting to end the scene.
"What are you talking about?"

"Not what Logan, who, I'm talking about Amanda. You know, the girl you were going to go out with tonight? Or are there so many that you forgot her specific name?" Tears were starting to blur her vision but she refused to let them. Just now Tristan walked in and immediately saw Rory and Logan in the corner. He decided to stay subtle for many reasons, mostly cause Rory looked pissed.

"Rory, I can explain."

"Yea Logan, I bet you can. But I can't tell you that I'm actually interested in hearing it." Rory started to walk away but Logan gently pulled her back.

"I saw you with Tristan today and I freaked. I don't know what it was but…"

"I know exactly what it was Logan. It was you calling one of the many of your past "no-strings-attached" relationships expecting to have a good time. You're bored Logan!"

Now Logan was angry, she was totally jumping to conclusions. "You can't possibly believe that Rory."

"What am I supposed to believe? My boyfriend? who's setting up other dates!"

"Rory, please!" Logan attempted to calm her down, he hated that she was so upset.

"No, Logan just don't! Please, do not follow me," With that she turned around and weaved through people to find the door. On her way out she ran straight into Tristan.

"Hey Mary."

"Let's go." She grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door.

"Where we going?"

"You're dorm, where is it?"

"Cambell, not that I'm complaining, but are you sure you wanna go there?"

"Yes, come on."

As soon as they entered Tristan's dorm Rory started pacing. What was she doing there? Why did Logan have to do that? Everything made no sense. Then she looked at Tristan. She could see he had his own questions running through his mind.

"Mary, what's going on with you?"

Rory didn't feel like talking, she didn't want to discuss her and Logan or anything for that matter. She closed the few feet between them and ended all conversation.

"Don't ask, just…kiss me"

Tristan didn't need to be asked twice and gladly met her lips with his own. The kiss was deep and full of passion and almost anger, obviously not for him. It was vengeful and full of regret. She was up against his door when he pulled away for air and also to ask another question. "Rory, I know I said this before but, are you sure?"

He didn't want to just be the guy she got back at her boyfriend with. If he wasn't going to be with her because she wanted him to be then he'd rather be friends. He knew if this went any farther that wasn't going to happen. "No, I'm not sure. Actually I am, I'm sure I shouldn't be here. I have to go."

"I know."

"I'm sorry Tristan, I shouldn't have put you in that position."

"What? Making out with you up against my dorm room wall? You can put me in that position anytime Mar." Rory tried to smile but the reality of what she just did was hitting her. She turned and ran out the door. She couldn't go to her dorm, he'd be there.She obviously couldn't go to his or Colin and Finn's. She was drunk and couldn't drive home. So one option. She took out her cell phone and dialed.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Rory…can I have a place to crash tonight?"

"Of course. Not like I invited Colin back anyway. I saw the thing between you and Logan…I'm guessing you don't want him to know you called."

"That would be great, thank you Stephanie."

"You're welcome. You know where it is and I'm 100 sure I have pjs for you…and a cup of coffee will be waiting."

"You're amazing! I'll be there in five."
