The second Rory walked into the dining room of the country club you could tell that she was looking for somebody. She pushed her sunglasses so that they rested on top of her head and then scanned the crowd. It took her a moment and then she found him. It only took her nine quick strides to be at the table in his arms. She kissed him passionately and sort of got caught up in the moment until Colin and Finn began to clear their throats. She smiled as she pulled away because once again she felt like everything was going okay as she stood there with him. She took the seat between him and Finn and tried to pretend that she hadn't just been making out with him in front of all these people. When she looked over at the table beside them she realized that the old biddies were talking about her. She could feel her cheeks redden. She hadn't meant to kiss him like that but she just missed him so much. She just wanted to feel that warmth and those tingles that sent throughout her entire body as if they were messing with her soul also. "Stephanie should be joining us in just a few seconds she just bumped into Bryan Darwin in the hallway and wanted to know if he was up for catering the wedding." Rory explained and then went back to blushing as Logan began to trace the lines on her hand.

Colin who had been trying not to laugh at the fact that Rory was blushing was no longer focused on the major amount of kissing he had just seen but was no instead fuming over the information Rory had just given him. "Bryan Darwin, as in freshmen year Bryan Darwin?"

Rory silently cursed Stephanie for not reminding her about Bryan Darwin. Okay so she thought that she recognized the name but she just attributed that to the fact that he was one of the hottest chefs on the East Coast. Now it was all coming back to her though. Freshmen year Colin and Stephanie had gotten into this massive fight about something stupid and trivial that neither of them could really remember. Well Stephanie got so pissed off and drunk that she decided to prove a point by moving out of Colin's dorm and basically in Bryan's. Not only was he a year older but he also smoked a massive amount of weed and was what Colin described as a Communist it probably didn't help that Bryan had been in love with her from probably the moment they met. Colin had always had issues with this fact even though Stephanie often reassured him that he had nothing to worry about. Stephanie and Bryan lived together for a month and a half. When she left his apartment finally she reeked of patchouli and a certain illegal herb. No one ever commented on why she left it though one night in a drunken stupor she did admit to Rory that being a hippy was just too dirty of a life for her. Rory sometimes laughed when she thought back to a stoned Stephanie Lancaster. Most of the time it was when they were alone together doing something superficial like getting manicures. She would look over at Stephanie wearing her pearls and a tennis bracelet of some kind and then laugh. "If by Bryan Darwin freshmen year Bryan Darwin you mean the famous East Coast chef then yes indeed it is that Bryan Darwin."

Colin got up from the table and threw his napkin down. There were few times when he actually lost his temper and this was one of them. The last time had been when Martha Stewart was convicted of insider trading. He couldn't lie he had a thing for the old blonde. She knew her way around a pile of money.

"I'd better make sure that he doesn't do anything to…rash." Finn replied hastily and then chased after Colin.

Logan smiled at Rory. "Do I want to know?"

"No I think I should save this story for a really inappropriate moment like Stephanie's bridal shower." Rory joked. She looked at him and then kissed him softly. "I've missed you."

Logan looked down at his watch and then back up at her. "It's only been three hours."

"Are you leaving tomorrow morning?" Rory asked sadly. She didn't want to the conversation to turn sour but on the entire drive here she'd been trying to decide whether or not he would really go.

Logan sighed and nodded. "I have to, but I'll put in the paper work for a transfer. I don't know how long it'll take but don't worry Ace I'll be back sooner or later. You can count on it."

"Well then I was thinking I had this baby shower to go to for Amanda Foster, but I thought I could just skip out on it and we could spend the night together." Rory whispered seductively in his ear. In fact her voice was so seductive that the second she heard it herself she blushed.

Logan smiled. "Well I thought I'd hang out with Colin and Finn tonight, but then I thought maybe after the shower we could meet up and then you could take me to the airport in the morning. I don't want you to shuffle your plans around for me."

Rory shrugged and opened her mouth to protest, but was soon cut off by the fact that Colin was chasing a fuming Stephanie who was stalking towards the table. Rory had a feeling that this wouldn't be good.

"I can't believe him. How dare he embarrass me like that? I'm not a damn child Colin. I'm a fucking adult. How could you make a fool of me like that in front of him?" Stephanie demanded once they were all sitting at the table.

Colin slammed his napkin down on the table. "Well excuse me for being a little worried but I do recall the last time you were alone with Bryan you turned into a pot smoking hippy."

Rory cut off Stephanie in an attempt to sooth things over. "In Stephanie's defense she wasn't so much a hippy as she was just a pothead she still wore GAP." Rory shot Colin a look. "Don't start shit Colin she converted before April 15th. She even bought you a present for you favorite day of the damn year. She loves you. She chose you. Plus Darwin is still not only a pothead, but more than likely a hippy also. You spend a month in college living with a hippy but you don't marry one."

Colin sat there and took a deep breath. You could from the expression on his face that he was wondering whether or not he should really take the time to apologize to her. "Rory has a point. I'm sorry Stephanie for being a jackass out there. It's just I love you so much I don't want anything to get in the way of our love."

Rory was sitting there smiling about the fact that she had been able to condense this situation before it could really get out of hand when all of a sudden she heard that her cell phone was softly ringing. She pulled it out and saw that it was her house. Briefly she considered the reasons that her mother may be calling her and then finally just answered the phone. "Hey Mom what's up?"

Lorelai sat calmly on her bay window looking down every few seconds to make sure that he was still simply sitting in his truck. When she had informed Dean that Rory was out and she didn't know when he would be back he said that he would simply wait for her outside then. She thought it best not to try to sway his decisions because from the looks of it he was kind of volatile. "He's sitting outside of the house in his truck waiting for you Rory. Would you like to explain why he's here? I thought you made it clear to him that you chose Logan."

Rory got up from her chair. "I'm on my way Mom. I'll explain then. It'll just be about ten minutes we're at the club." Rory shut off her phone and threw it back in her purse. "Logan I saw your car coming in do you think you could drive me home. I know this is awful but I really need to get home something has come up."

"Yeah sure of course," Logan assured her and then he too got out of his seat. "I guess we'll be back as soon as we can. If we're not back in an hour then go ahead and just come over to Rory's."

As soon as they were sitting in the car Logan looked over at Rory and asked in a serious tone "Are you going to tell me what's going on before we get there?"

Rory sighed. "He's sitting in the driveway of my house waiting for me to get home."

"Who is? Dean?"

Rory nodded. She couldn't believe that he was doing this. Last night she thought she had made it pretty clear that she wanted him out of her life. Now he was trying to force her to choose him again. She closed her eyes and counted to ten. Her blood was boiling. How dare he impose himself on her like this? It was as if he had no manners at all. The drive itself was about eight minutes and thirty-six seconds mostly because Logan was lucky enough to get all green lights. The second they pulled up to her house she saw his truck sitting there in her driveway. Rory began to get out of the car as soon as it was stopped. Logan grabbed her arm gently. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"I think I should be okay. Just wait here for me. It should only take a few minutes." Rory assured him. She walked up to the truck in a manner that said that she was taking no prisoners.

Dean sat there fiddling with stations quietly. He knew that she would take him back. She was just being dumb last night. It was all those rich white assholes that swayed her decision. There was no way she would choose them over him. She loved him. He knew that she loved him. She would be his no matter what. When she knocked on the glass window he jumped a little and then rolled it down. "Hey Rory I thought I'd come by and see what you wanted to do today."

"Dean I told you last night that it's over." Rory said calmly.

"You were a little drunk you didn't mean it. I know you didn't. You love me Rory. Remember you professed you love for me that night three and a half months ago." Dean said not getting the hint that she was angry. He even got out of his truck so that he could hold her in his arms when this was all over.

Rory scoffed. "Dean I'm trying to do this as nicely as possible."

"Do what? Don't be scared of our love Rory. I know that you were scared to love again. You don't have to be. I'll be there for you. I won't leave you for some college halfway across the country like that asshole Logan did."

"You don't know anything about Logan. Don't judge him. I don't love you Dean. I was drunk when I said that. I was drunk and hurt and was just trying to convince myself that I didn't need Logan. That is a lie though because I do need him. I need him almost as much as I need air and water. I love him. I choose him. So just leave."

Dean grabbed her arm and squeezed. "Don't be like them Rory. You don't have to be ashamed."

"Let go of me."

Dean's eye became sort of dark. "What am I not good enough for you? You want some rich white boy who's had everything given to him on a silver platter. I thought you were different but you're just like the rest of them. Rich spoiled brats all of you."

Rory squirmed. "Let go of me!"

Suddenly Dean felt himself being sucker punched. Dean grabbed his jaw in pain as he stumbled to the ground. "I think she said let go of her."

Dean slowly pulled himself up. He went to punch Logan but missed and found himself once again on the ground. "See us rich white boys we also are pretty tough. I used to play quite a few sports in high school. Oh like say hockey for instance was one of the many sports I played. I was pretty well known on the private school circuit for playing rough. So if you were smart then you would leave. Go back to your small horse town and leave Rory alone. See if you think I'm tough then you ain't seen nothing yet because she's pretty good friends with some pretty big strong guys who love the movie "Fight Club". Actually they loved it so much they wanted to start their own version."

Dean got into his truck and began to roll the window up. Before it was all the way up though he said one final thing to Rory. "You loved me and one day when this piece of shit leaves you high and dry you're going to regret this decision."

Rory stood there trying to keep herself together as Logan protectively held her close to him. "Are you okay?" he whispered softly.

"Yeah I'm fine now thanks to you. If it weren't for you I don't know what would have happened."

Logan laughed. "I think you could have taken him Rory. I've felt your leg strength when you get mad. You got quite the kick." Logan kissed her forehead. "You know the first time I ever met you, you were standing right here in this exact spot, you were shorter and younger, but still just as tough. I was this cocky jackass and you let me know what you thought of me. I also think this is the spot where I proclaimed that one day you would fall for my charms and would no longer be able to resist me."

"You were quite full of yourself weren't you?" Rory joked. As she stood there for a minute with him she saw something flash before her eyes. It was their future. It was Cape Cod summers. It was little kids with crystal blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. It was mornings sharing the paper. It was love so pure that it was downright dysfunctional. She looked up at him and realized that there was nothing more that she wanted than to be Mrs. Huntzberger.

I'm from Texas and Alabama and North Carolina mostly. It's only a few more chapters and then this baby is over. I know that this probably wasn't as much Rogan as you wanted but I thought it would just be a good one. I do have a direction. I don't think it's as fast as it may seem. You have to think okay so they have just gotten back together, but they've spent the last three years of their lives loving each other and holding onto this memory, plus before that they were together for a long ass time. I hope that you liked this chapter all of your reviews make me feel just so good. Please keep reading. I'm trying to write them faster. I hope you like that little bit about Colin and Stephanie it made me laugh when I wrote it.
