Over the next few weeks Rory and Logan had been seeing each other no strings attached. They had agreed that they could handle a non-exclusive relationship although Rory was finding it increasingly difficult to stay calm when Logan walked through the hotel door with some drunk girl hanging of him- Literally!
"I just had the most hot, passionate sex ever!" beamed Lori as she came and stood next to Rory.
"Oh way too much info!" Rory replied. Lori just laughed at her. For a week Lori had been moaning that Ben had gone away to training and she missed him and when he turned up at the hotel a few hours ago, Lori hadn't wasted any time in booking a room and making her way upstairs, with an eager Ben in toe.
"Hey" said a smirking Ben as he leaned across the counter and kissed his girlfriend.
"Hey" she laughed back, as she kissed him back.
"Ah young love!" said a voice from the front of the Hotel. It was Mr Stanton, the owner and some younger boys Rory didn't recognise.
"Mr Stanton how are you?" Lori said making her way round the counter and kissing the man on each cheek.
"Very well, thank you Lori. You look beautiful, my son has chosen well with you!"
"Mr Stanton you tell me that every time I see you!" she laughed.
"Yes I do and how many times do I have to tell you call me James."
"At least once more" she laughed. "How can I help you today?"
"Well I was rather hoping I could check the books"
"I think Rosemary has those" Lori said. She turned and asked Rory who also thought the same. The blonde walked back over to the desk, paged Rosemary and placed her head on the cool of the marble.
"I'm so tired" she yawned. Rory couldn't help but smile at Ben's affection as he ran his hands through her silky hair. She also couldn't help but notice the look on Mr Stanton's face. It was a feeling of pride and happiness as he looked at his middle son and his girlfriend.
"LORI! What do you think your doing?" yelled the shrill voice of Rosemary across the lobby. Obviously she hadn't spotted the owner.
"Get off your lazy backside and do some work!" she yelled making Lori groan and slump into the chair behind her.
"Are you trying to get me out of a job?" she fumed, still unaware that Mr Stanton was standing behind her
"Oh My God Rosemary I would so never do that to you! You see my friend Chloe worked at this really classy restaurant and one night she was like really tired and she took the wrong plate to the wrong person. So this guy was like eating snails and then he choked and died and then the restaurant manager got fired!"
"How do you get up in the morning?" asked a dumbfounded Rosemary. Rosemary was amazed anyone could find any interest in this girl.
"Oh I have a really good alarm clock" she answered in a high pitched ditzy voice.
It was a tense game. The basketball players were going at it hard. Rory was sat in a box which looked over the court. Lori had invited her to her brother's basketball game as Rory had been down. She had reluctantly agreed but was again disappointed when she saw Logan turn up with another one-night-stand. In fact everyone seemed to be in a couple except her. Ben and Lori who were cuddled together in one seat, her sitting on his lap and snuggled into the crook of his arm. Mitchum and Shira, who although showed no affection to one another seemed to be enjoying each others company. Paige Huntzberger and her boyfriend Cameron Anderson whose hands were intertwined. Rory had been surprised when she had met Paige as she seemed the total opposite. Paige had dyed her blonde hair dark brown and wore dark coloured clothes. She had also met Brooke, Lucas' fiancé, and Hayley, Nathan's wife. Although she could sense that Lori didn't really like Hayley because of the glances she kept throwing her while she seemed to get on like a house on fire with Brooke.
Rory too had a date, Brad, although he wasn't much of a date as he only talked about himself and well.. Himself. Logan kept throwing Brad dirty glances, which gave Rory a good feeling as it showed he was jealous.
"3..2.…1 The LA Lakers score and that's the end of the game folks. The LA Lakers win!" announced the speaker. Immediately Brooke jumped up, screamed and ran out of the room. Hayley scowled and walked out after her. Rory didn't like her, there was something sneaky about her, Oh Great, now she was sounding like one of the Scooby-doo crew.
"Oh is it over" Lori asked, who had been making out with Ben for the past 5 minutes. They got up and left, followed by everyone else until it was only Rory, Logan and his date left.
"Are you coming Logie?" she asked. Logan got visibly annoyed by this but tried to hide it from his date.
"Yeah I'll be there in a minute Tara. You go ahead" she looked between Rory and Logan but then dejectedly exited the room.
"Hey, where's Brad?" he tried to cover up his laughter.
"I don't know" she answered crossing her arms. He stepped towards her only for her to step back.
"What's wrong Ace?" he asked looking hurt
"I can't do this anymore Logan" she blurted out "I cant stand seeing you with those other girls. This isn't working out for either of us. I know at the time I said I could do non-commitment but I just cant. You like to be free spirited and I like to have some security" she said trying to make an exit only to have him block the box exit.
"Logan" she looked into his eyes and her heart melted.
"Ace. Now it's my time. Seeing you here with Brad today really opened my mind. I want to be with you and only you. I want to wake up with you in the morning. What do you say Ace?" he pleaded.
"Logan you cant commit to me. Hell you cant even commit to one car for more than 2 months. You cant do this" she said trying to leave again.
"Ace if I say I can do this I can do this." he said and held out his hand.
Rory hesitated but took his hand and he pulled her to him. They locked lips and felt the spark ignite within them.
