"Hey Lori" Rory said as Lori plopped down onto the leather chair beside her. It was 5:10 am and the lobby was still very quiet. She was due to go home at 10am for a well earned sleep.
"Hey anything interesting happened?" she asked while logging onto the system.
"Not really, Mr Sanderson was looking for you" she laughed knowing full well Mr Sanderson was obsessed with Lori and Lori hated his guts.
"Yippee" she said sarcastically "Anything else?"
"No apart from I met your brother, Logan" she said. Lori's head snapped up to face her.
"How? When? Where?" she asked.
"He came in here with all his buddies, blinding drunk, at about 2am this morning and booked the penthouse suite" she said sipping her coffee.
"Was he nice to you?" she asked concerned.
"Yeah, why wouldn't he be?" she asked confused.
"Sometimes Logan can get a little snappy when he's drunk. Once he came home drunk and bit my head off for asking if he wanted anything to eat"
"Oh… He was fine although he called me Ace" she asked hoping for an explanation.
"Oh he likes you" Lori smirked, the same one Logan had worn earlier.
"What do you mean he likes me?"
"Logan is the ultimate playboy along with his band of musketeers. They have one-night stands practically every night. He never dates the same person twice and from what I've heard every female that meets his wants to date him, but they better join the queue"
"Queue?"
"Apparently there is a 5 mile long line of girls that want to be the one that said I nabbed Logan Elias Huntzberger's heart and now he's all mine. Well all I can say is good luck to them, there are only two girls that have ever had Logan's heart" Rory looked at Lori and urged her to carry on " Number one is my mom, he would do anything for her and number two was a girl called Sarah. I never liked Sarah there was something I didn't trust about her. The family didn't approve of Sarah but that's another story. Logan and Sarah had been casually dating for about 4 months and it took that time for Logan to open his heart to her. When he did they became exclusive and for about a year things where great, Logan had never been happier. Then one night he had gone over to her house to surprise her and he found her and someone from the year below getting a little too cosy on the couch if you know what I mean. He spent a week in his room and when he came out he returned to his playboy ways only 100 more. He was 19 at the time and now he's 24" she finished. Lori excused herself and Rory was left to ponder what she had just been told. Even though she had only known him a few hours she already felt connected to him. He had been cheated on and she had been the other woman. She made a mental note to interrogate Lori later on for more details.
"…. and here are the pool and spa facilities" Rory said as she guided Dean and Lindsay around the hotel. "And that's about it are there any questions?" she asked.
"Yeah, when can we have the wedding meeting. I want everything to be perfect for my big day" said Lindsay.
"Whenever you would like the meeting to be" she replied politely.
"Well I want it now" Lindsay demanded. Rory caught Dean's eye and he appeared to be ashamed to be in public with Lindsay acting like she was.
"Sure, take a seat over there and I'll be right back with some booklets" She pointed to a table near the fire and hurried off to go and get the wedding folder. When she returned she sensed something had happened in the short few minutes she had been gone as the couple were sat far apart and Dean seemed to be taking no interest.
"Let's start with the flowers. I want White lilies and Red roses. I want them placed in each corner of the room and I want some at the bottom of the aisle" Obviously Lindsay had been planning this for a long time.
"I want stationary sent out today with detailed explanations of the location and time of the ceremony and what will be available at the reception. I want the waiters and waitresses to be wearing black and red suits and I want pink champagne on offer all the time. I want salmon to be the main dish with a salad starter and apple strudel for dessert. I have already picked out the songs in the right order on this CD" Rory scribbled as fast as she could Lindsay threw at her a CD case which Rory placed amongst the other documents.
"Rory can I talk to you for a minute?" asked Lori shyly.
"Sure Lori, can you please hold on for just a moment" Rory excused herself. When Rory returned Lindsay was impatiently tapping her foot and throwing disapproving glances at Rory.
"Right where were we?" Rory continued.
"Was that one of your rich little friends?" asked a rude Lindsay
"I guess you could say that" Rory said calmly though she could tell Lindsay was getting more angry by the second.
"You rich little princesses are all the same. Sauntering around like you own the place, you think you can do anything you want and it wont have any consequences. All you do Is spend Daddy's money and hang around in your own little rich groups. You have no respect for anyone but your own including Barbie over there. You have no idea what it's like to be me so don't you dare act like you care about my wedding. If I wasn't such a forgiving person this wedding wouldn't be happening, no thanks to you, you little whore!" yelled Lindsay getting the attention of the lobby. Rory calmly stood up and stood a few inches away from the angry wife-to-be.
"I think it would be better if you went and calmed down Miss Lister" Rory said using her training.
"Don't you dare patronise me!" she yelled before storming off to her room.
Rory stood red faced facing Dean. Throughout the shouting match Dean had stayed silent not paying any attention.
"She's right you know" he said for the first time.
"Excuse me?" asked a shocked Rory.
"She's right. If you hadn't interfered this wedding would have happened a long time ago and we would be living happily. But no you just couldn't stand to see me happy you had to ruin it, What happened were you bored with spending Daddy's money and decided to have some fun and ruin someone's life by sleeping with me! Lindsay is the most wonderful woman I have ever met, she loves me, she forgave me and now she still wants to make me the happiest man in the world. She was- is 10 times the woman you will ever be!" he yelled before running in the same direction his fiancé had run in not 5 minutes before. Rory was about to burst into tears when she felt a pair of arms encircle her shoulders and pull her into a tight hug.
