A, N I think I have a good idea where I'm going to end this story and it will probably only be a couple more chapters. I have another couple ideas for some more stories so let me know what you think. Please check out the dress that Lori wears at the bottom of the page, modelled by the fantastic Paris Hilton. Once again please r.r
Story 1- Rory gets sick of her life. Even though she has the rich lifestyle she is ignored. So she runs away to LA and makes a new lifestyle for herself and meets a whole host of interesting characters along the way.
Story 2- Logan and Rory's daughters do their version of the simple life or if you prefer Lori and her sister Paige can do it.
I know they may sound like rubbish but still let me know what you think in your review.
I don't own anything from this story.
It was 3am and Rory was just starting her night shift. All was quiet, just how she liked it. Every now and then a few porters walked buy pulling a cart of suitcases behind him but other than that everything was silent and dead. Rory liked these shifts better than day shifts because she had time to catch up with all her thoughts about her busy day before. She smiled to herself and rested her head in her hand as she drifted off and began to think of the great make-up sex she and Logan had had- lots of make-up sex. She was only broken out of her day dream by the sound of the hotel phone ringing. She quickly shook her head and picked up the phone.
"Hotel Stanton, Connecticut. Rory speaking, how may I help you?" Rory said using the welcoming message she had been taught to use
"Rory, it's me Lori" said the excited voice of the blonde
"Lori? Why are you ringing the hotel phone and not my cell?" Rory asked, puzzled.
"Because you're damn cell was switched off and I just had to tell you my news" Rory could almost see her bubbling over with excitement at the other end of the line.
"Um... Okay, what's your news?" Rory said, surfing the internet.
"Guess what is on my finger?" she asked
"A ring?" Rory asked
"Well duh but what kind of ring?" It suddenly dawned on Rory
"Oh my God you're engaged!" Rory practically screamed down the phone
"Finally she gets it"
"Wow, I mean congratulations but wow" Rory said, shocked.
"Thanks. I mean I got home and the whole house was filled with candles and there he was down on one knee looking so god damned sexy. At first I was like what's going on but then he launched into this beautiful speech about how much more he loved me and then he asked me to marry him and of course I said yes!" Lori sounded so exciting.
"God, you're so young" Was all Rory could manage to say. Lori was 22 and Ben had turned 24 last week.
"I know but I know he's the one. I mean I know that's what everyone says but I know it's true"
"Are you sure about this?" Rory asked trying not to offend her.
"Duh…. Who could turn him down?. He's super sexy, romantic and earns $50,000 a week. What more could a girl want?" What more could a girl want? Rory wondered to herself
"Well Congratulations I'm so excited for you. Did the families know?"
"Yeah. Ben said he told his family he was going to do it and that he rang my family and told them, apparently my mother nearly fainted of happiness."
"So… When can I see the ring?"
"Well I'm at a fashion show tomorrow modelling for Julian Macdonald, the British designer, so I'll leave a backstage pass with Logan for you and you girls can come see me backstage"
"Okay. I'm really happy for you Lori, I really am"
"Thanks Rory, ok I have to go now. I've got to call all my friends from high school who said it wouldn't last and gloat. Love ya Hun" she hung up and Rory began to wonder. How did she know Ben was the one? How did anyone know who their one was? If there were so many one's out there why did so many people get divorced and find other ones? These questions circled round Rory's brain as she sat alone in the grand entrance.
Rory and Logan arrived at the fashion show, their hands interlaced. Finn, Colin, Steph, Juliet, Rosemary, Paris and Doyle all accompanied them. Lori had handed a number of passes and told them to invite anyone they wanted. They wandered over to where Ben and his family were sitting. Along with his parents there also sat two men, who looked remarkably similar to Ben and a girl of about 14 looked bored. Everyone congratulated Ben who just smiled while his parents sat beaming beside him and his brothers looked on proudly and the young girl just looked bored, though she didn't try to hide it.
"Are my family here yet, sir?" Logan asked Mr. Stanton. He shook his head no and re-assured Logan they would be arriving soon. The boys took their seats while the girls made their way to the door that led to the backstage area. A tough looking bouncer stood in front of the door. His arms were covered in tattoos, and his muscles stood out clearly from his tight plain black Tee-shirt. His jeans had been ripped in some places revealing tree trunk legs, making him seem only scarier. Rory tried not to look nervous as he inspected the passes that hung loosely round the girls' necks. After checking each one thoroughly he nodded his head approvingly and un-hooked a red barrier to let them through. Rory smiled thankfully at him and they made their way into the hustle and bustle of the room. Models ran, topless, around the room like headless chickens. Their entourage running after them trying to calm them down, hairdryers and brushes clutched in their hands. Rory could hear Rosemary and Juliet making gasping sounds as trolleys of clothes were wheeled past. Steph laughed at them and grabbed their elbows and pulled them away from the clothes. In amongst the mayhem a gorgeous blonde sat in the corner in one of the make-up chairs flipping through a magazine, not paying any attention to her surroundings, a diamond ring sparkling on her engagement finger. The 4 girls approached her and she looked up, smiling brightly at each one. She chucked the magazine onto the bench below the mirror and swivelled to face them. They each pulled up a chair. Lori's blonder than blonde hair had been highlighted with platinum blonde and had been loosely curled to her shoulders. She was dressed casually in chocolate brown juicy sweat pants and a plain white tank top.
"Hey Guys" she said hugging each one
"Hey Future Mrs. Stanton" Steph smiled making Lori blush and smile madly.
"Let's see it!" Rosemary screeched. Lori held out her hand and the 4 girls gasped at the sparkling ring. The ring band was littered with dazzling diamonds and in the middle a huge diamond stood out. In every light the stones shone and it looked perfect on her perfectly manicured hand. Rosemary and Juliet once again squealed but then focused their attention to the clothes again.
"You Know I think they're looking for another few models, some of them cancelled" Lori said, Rosemary and Juliet's eyes popped out of their head and they scurried over to a man with a clipboard who looked in charge.
"I'm really happy for you" Steph said once again.
"You do realise Colin and Logan are now petrified we are going to start dropping hints that we want to get married" Steph said making her and Lori fall into hysterics. Rory however didn't find it so funny.
"What that's ridiculous! Logan and I have only been dating 6 months. I don't want to get married yet, no way, defiantly not" Rory babbled on. She saw Steph and Lori give each other a look.
"Rory's been paranoid ever since she said I love you to Logan" Steph supplied, by way of an explanation.
"Have not!" Rory yelled getting the attention of some people.
"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that sister and you might start to believe it" Steph giggled.
"You mean you don't want to marry my brother. I'm heartbroken; I had already picked out your wedding venue and every thing" Lori clutched her hand to her heart dramatically before she and Steph once again resumed their fits of laughter.
"It's not that I don't want to marry him, it's that we have barely know each other 5 minutes, I don't want to rush into anything" Rory said, trying to re-assure herself, mind you she had the feeling she was already in over her head with Logan.
"Oh please, I know some people that dated for less than 2 months and they have been married for 40 years" Steph said.
"Who?"
"My Parents" They fell about laughing again, including Rory this time, and once the laughter had died away they turned the talk to fashion which was the main event of the evening.
Rory sat next to Logan in the front row, next to the runway. Their hands were intertwined and every now and then they stopped talking for a small kiss, but Rory couldn't get what Steph and Lori had said backstage about the whole marriage issue. She knew she wasn't ready for marriage- yet. She wished she could talk to Logan about it but he would get all freaked out and think she was dropping hints, which she most certainly wasn't. Rory looked around at the large crowd and spotted some well known celebrities amongst the crowd. Most people were dressed in casual dress but some had gone all out and wore stunning designer dresses and suave designer suits. Rory's group though had just dressed casually but smart. She had on a tight pair of dark blue jeans that clung to her curves in just the right place. She had put on a smart business jacket that was black pinstriped and had thrown on a plain white tee-shirt underneath. Casual yet Sophisticated. Her hair hung loosely at her shoulders and she had put a white hair band in her hair. The lights dimmed so only the catwalk lights shone brightly, lighting up the stage. Rosemary and Juliet had been accepted for the models position and make-up artists had immediately begun work on them, much to their delight.
When Rory and Steph had arrived back the Huntzberger's and Hayden's had arrived and after some quick hello's had taken their seats. Rory smiled as she heard her grandmother and Logan's mother gossiping about someone they had spotted. Then she could hear Finn whistling at the red heads that walked past, then Colin and Logan laughing when they turned round and gave him strange laughs. This was her life and she wouldn't swap it for the world.
She watched as the journalists braced themselves as a middle-aged woman gracefully walked onto stage. Everyone quietened down as she began to talk into a microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to welcome to the Julien Macdonald 2006 Fashion Show, here in gorgeous New York" Everyone clapped and began cheering.
"Alright now on with the show" She said as everyone clapped again and she made her way off stage. Rumours by Lindsay Lohan began blasting out the speakers that were hidden all over the room. A tall brunette walked out wearing a beautiful creation. Another set of pretty girls followed one after another, showing off their years of training at some fashion school or other. After about another 5 girls the lights dimmed even more so making the room completely black except for the flashing camera lights and the runway lights. Rory turned to the top of the runway where Lori had begun walking down the narrow runway. She looked like an angel. The dress was a masterpiece. Every centimetre was covered in gold and silver beads. It stopped about her knees and it went up in a halter neck behind her head. Most people's mouths hung on the floor as the stunning blonde posed at the end of the catwalk. Her hand placed firmly on her hip, showing off her engagement ring. The press had gone wild and were taking so many pictures they had to re fill their film. Lori's face had the normal pouting look though Rory could tell she was trying not to smile. She turned on her heel and revealed the back of the dress. The dress straps revealed her tanned back and the dress dipped down to where her Princess tattoo marked her skin at the bottom of her spine. She strutted back up the runway and out of sight. Another model followed her out but compared to Lori she looked like any average girl not a supposed super model. When each model had strutted their stuff the lights came back on and every person in the building stood up and clapped excitedly. The designer himself walked down the catwalk and bowed at the end, lapping up all the attention.
Yes, Rory Hayden loved her life and she wouldn't swap it for the world.
