Here's chapter three. And, you'll meet Brett and Krysta in this chapter. Just some information on Brett and Krysta:

Brett is 16 to Lily's 15. They are however, both sophomores. Like all the boys in the story, he plays soccer (because all male soccer players are gorgeous!). He's 6' 2" and has shaggy blonde hair and brown eyes.

Krysta is 21. She and Colin met in prep school as juniors and have been together ever since. She's tiny, barely 5' 1" and has dark brown hair and bright blue eyes.

Lily had made her way up the front steps when a voice startled her. Turning quickly, she saw Brett sitting on the porch swing.

He looked at her dubiously, "Condoms?"

If it was possible, Lily was even redder then she was before.

"Uh, yeah… my sister's friend… bad sense of humor, you know?" She was trying to convince herself more than she was trying to convince him.

"Oh."

"So, um, not that I'm not happy to see you here… but, how did you know where I lived?"

"I asked around."

"Oh."

Lily was currently looking at her feet. Her shopping bags had already fallen to the porch when Brett had surprised her and her shoes were very interesting right about now.

Brett wasn't doing much better. His hands were shoved in his jeans pockets and he was rocking back and forth on his heels.

After about a five minute period of awkward silence, Lily spoke.

"So, you, uh, want to come in for a drink?"

"Sure."

"Logan! Really, how can you laugh about that?"

"Ace, hun, it's hilarious if you think about it!"

"It's hilarious that my FIFTEEN year old sister asked how you were in bed! How can you think that?"

"Maybe she just wanted to know what to expect!"

"Oh, we are so not going there. I hope you like our couch!"

Rory had stalked off to the bedroom and slammed the door. Logan had just laughed and resumed what he was doing before Rory came home. Turning to the refrigerator, he pulled out a block of Asiago cheese and began grating it. Within minutes of placing the lasagna in the oven, Rory came out of the bedroom.

"Ooh, what smells so good?"

"Dinner"

"What is it?"

"A surprise"

"Logan!" She had cried in exasperation. She had then buried her head in his chest and allowed him to wrap her in his arms. They had stayed like that until the oven timer went off and they sat down to a lovely candle light dinner.

"Really?" Lily placed a hand over her mouth to make sure that he didn't see the half-chewed food as she laughed.

"Yes really."

"You mean to tell me that that really happens on the bus?"

"Do you doubt me?"

"No, actually… I just can't believe they let you get away with that!"

"We just won State – they probably would have allowed us to get away with murder!"

"Oh, okay."

They sat there in silence for awhile, quietly enjoying each other's company as they snacked on the Oreos and milk that Lily had found in the kitchen. She wanted to make some chocolate chip cookies or something like that, but, like Rory, she had inherited her mother's cooking abilities. After a minute, Brett spoke.

"Listen, Lily… I came over for a reason."

Lily didn't like the way this was going. Was he going to break off their date?

"It's about the date we had for next Saturday."

"Oh…"

Brett saw her face fall. When it did, his heart… well, it suddenly felt much heavier.

"It's not like that Lily! Really, I want to go on this date. It's just…"

"Just what? Really Brett, tell me if you don't want to go. I'll understand…"

"Lily, listen. Our game got moved. It's Saturday, not Thursday, so I was wondering if you wanted to come to the game and then we'd go out afterwards. I'll understand if you don't want to go so late. We can reschedule, I guess." He was nervous, he never asked a girl to come to one of his games before.

Lily smiled. He was adorable when he was nervous.

"Where's the game?"

His eyes lit up when Lily had asked that.

"It's at Chilton. Listen, actually, I was wondering if you wanted to come as my girlfriend…" The last word was said so quietly she could barely understand it. However, she had been waiting forever (or, to her it seemed so) for him to ask this and she knew what he had asked..

"YES!"

"Alright… I'll see you there, okay?"

She smiled, "Absolutely"

"Krysta! I can't believe you find this funny!"

The group had all met at the Pub that night. Steph had called everyone when she found Tristin sitting in her apartment when she returned from the fated shopping trip. Deciding that neither would see there friends the rest of the weekend, she had called everyone and suggested that they meet at the pub for some drinks.

"What? Steph, Rory, it's funny."

"I know it was." Stephanie had replied, "It's Rory who has her panties in a bunch. I mean, it was especially funny when Lily got out of the car and I told her to make sure she uses a condom… Her face was so red."

"You didn't!" Paris had said, "That poor girl!"

"Yeah, and you want to know what's even better?" Stephanie had an evil glint in her eye as she said this, "When we were driving away, I saw a boy sitting on the porch… Pretty sure that it was that Brett kid."

"Steph! Why didn't you tell me?" Rory was shocked. Was her little sister meeting a boy at their house… their empty house?

The boys were all laughing. They had gotten used to being ignored as the girls talked. Once Finn had returned with their drinks, they sat down and began reminiscing about high school as they talked about Lily. To the group, she was all of their little sister.

"Oh!" Rory had said while they were walking out, "Hey, Tristin, guess what the boys at Chilton are calling Lily?"

Tristin smiled, "Let me guess… Mary?"

Rory was shocked, "How did you know?"

"You seemed way too happy. You always said that you'd find it hilarious for Lily to be a 'Mary' as well. Looks like it's a family tradition… we'll have to see what happens with Jackie. And, your and Logan's kids of course."

"Funny, Tristin, really funny."

When Rory and Logan had arrived at home, there were fifteen messages waiting for her on their answering machine. After listening to them all, and laughing through most of them, she called Lily back.

"Hey Lily."

"Oh! Rory! Thank God!"

"Hun, what's the matter?"

"Well, Brett was here when you dropped me off. Thank Stephanie for the 'condom' comment by the way. And, we were talking for a while, and it was great. Then, he says he needs to talk about Saturday. And, I'm like, oh, no, is he going to break it off? And, he must have seen the look on my face because he got all worried and kept assuring me that he wanted to go on the date. This made my day by the way. Anyway, he then says that his soccer game got moved to Saturday. And, I'm like, oh great. Well, it turns out that he wanted to invite me to his game! Isn't that great?"

"Yeah hun, it is!"

"I haven't told you the best part yet!"

"And, what is the best part?"

"HE ASKED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND!"

Rory had to hold the phone away from her ear. Logan even heard her in the other room.

"Hey, uh, Lil, you might want to take it down about 10 decibels. I'm pretty sure a rocket takes off quieter than that."

"Sorry."

"Listen, Lily, I'll talk to you Monday. I have a lot of work to get done this weekend."

"Bye"

"Bye"

Hanging the phone up, Rory walked in the bedroom and saw Logan lying on the bed reading a book. He had on a pair of small silver reading glasses and some striped blue pajama pants. Grabbing her pajamas, she walked into the bathroom and got ready for bed. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she walk back into the bedroom. Climbing onto the bed, she laid down next to Logan and cuddled into his side.

"Whatcha reading?"

He turned the cover of the book so that it faced her.

"The Da Vinci Code? You haven't read that yet?"

"Haven't had the time."

"What part are you on?"

"Just started chapter six"

"Oh… so page 8?"

He laughed, "About that." Anyone who has read a Dan Brown book knows that the chapters are short and numerous.

She curled even more into his side and he lifted his arm and placed it around her shoulders, holding her even closer.

"Read to me?"

"Sure"

Logan began reading, his smooth voice lulling Rory to sleep.

…Having squeezed beneath the security gate, Robert Langdon now stood just inside the entrance to the Grand Gallery. He was staring into the mouth of a long, deep canyon. On either side of the gallery, stark walls rose thirty feet, evaporating into the darkness above. The reddish glow of the service lighting sifted upward, casting an unnatural smolder across a staggering collection of Da Vincis, Titians, and Caravaggios that hung suspended from ceiling cables. Still-lifes, religious scenes, and landscapes joined portraits of nobility and politicians…

Glancing over, Logan noticed that Rory had fallen asleep. Trying his best not to wake her, he gently laid her down against her pillow. Brushing her hair out of her face, he lightly kissed her lips and turned to his night table. He folded the corner of the page he was reading and removed his glasses. Lyingdown, he pulled Rory into his arms and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Have you even thought about how 'awkward' is a weird word? It's so… awkward to spell. Ha. Anyway, how was it? I definitely do not own The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Though, I highly suggest reading it. It's a good book. But, don't see the movie. Tom Hanks was an awful idea for the role of Robert Langdon. Angels and Demons, also by Dan Brown, is a great book as well. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. And, have any of you seen the new show, Psych? It's awesome. I love it. And, that Sean guy, yeah... he's pretty hot. Watch it. I'm pretty sure that that show will be making an appearance later on...
