Thanks so much for the reviews and for the assurance that my story doesn't completely suck. However, I must agree with some of my reviewers that it is quickly coming to an end. There will probably be only about three more chapters (counting this one).
It was Friday morning and all classes had been cancelled due to a emergency teachers conference. Logan and Colin had decided they were going to surprise the girls by taking them out to breakfast.
However, When they walked into the girls dorm they were surprised to say the least about what they saw.
"This is painful!" Rory whined. "Your such a wimp!" Steph retorted. "You know what Steph, I've decided this is more work then it's worth."
"It's good for you!" Steph tried to reason. "Yes, So are vegetables but I don't eat them!" Rory ranted.
"This is supposed to relax you!" Steph told her. "Yes because the position I am in is sooo relaxing." Rory mumbled sarcastically.
"You two look comfortable." Colin said announcing Logan and his own Presence. Both girls yelled as they fell over.
The guys walked over to sit on the couch while the girls both remained on the floor. "What the hell were you doing?" Logan asked.
"Steph talked me into trying Yoga." Rory said flatly. "You know Ror, I never pegged you as a girl the exercises." Colin said.
"That's because I'm not. Steph threatened to cut me off from coffee." Rory deadpanned. "Why would you do that! That's not only a risk to her health but a risk to everyone around her!" Logan exclaimed.
"See I've instilled fear in him. That's what ever good relationship is based on." Rory said with a laugh as she got up and sat on Logan's lap. Logan took in her appearance she was wearing a white tank top and short shorts.
"I don't know maybe you should exercise more, Ace." Logan commented. "And why is that?" Rory asked giving him a pointed look.
"Because I for one love the clothing you wear to do it." He said rubbing his hand up and down Rory's leg. . "Logan!" Rory squeaked as her face turned bright red.
"How about you girls go change and we'll take you out to breakfast?" Colin told them. "Ok!" Steph said brightly as both girls got up to get changed.
As the both girls doors shut the guys sat on the couch. "So you and Rory really haven't had sex yet?" Colin asked.
"No." Logan said "It's not that I'm in a hurry to but sometimes the way she acts when I make comments like I just did makes me think that she doesn't want to either." Logan confessed.
"What do you mean?" Colin asked confused. "She tells me she loves me and I know for a fact I'm head over heels for her but I'm not sure how much she wants a sexual relationship." Logan sighed.
"At the LDB thing you couldn't keep your hands off each other." Colin tried to reason. "I think she feels she has to do stuff like that so I won't get bored."
"Will you?" Colin asked seriously. "I don't know. I love Rory more than life itself but eventually I'm going to want to be with her." Logan shook his head.
"Give her time man." Colin advised.
Unbeknownst to them Rory was standing in the hall listening to there conversation. She walked back in to her room decided she didn't feel like going out.
About ten minutes later Steph knocked on her door. "Rorrrrry, Are you almost done? I'm hungry."
"No, I umm.. Don't feel well. Just go without me." Rory lied. Steph opened the door. "Liar. You felt fine 10 minutes ago. What's wrong?"
"I heard Logan and Colin talking, and Logan said that he knows we love each other but that he doesn't think I want a sexual relationship." Rory said sadly.
"I take it that's not true." Steph questioned. "Of course it's not true! I mean not to get all weird on you but have you seen Logan? He's absolutely gorgeous how can I not want to be with him!" Rory said exasperated.
"Then why aren't you?" Steph asked. "I didn't wanna sleep with someone I didn't love and I didn't know I loved him till last week, and I didn't wanna sleep with him the first night we said 'I love you' cause that's cliché." Rory explained.
"That would be cliché wouldn't it." Steph thought out loud. "You think things over and I'll cover for you." Steph said.
"Thanks." Rory said letting herself fall back onto her pillow.
Steph walked into The living Room to see Colin and Logan watching TV. "It's about damn time!" Colin exclaimed standing up. "Where's Gilmore?"
"She's taking a rain check." Steph informed them. "Is she ok, I'll stay with her." Logan said about to walk over to her door.
"No, Don't just leave her alone." Steph grabbed his arm to prevent him from walking anymore. "Why? What's wrong?" Logan eyed her suspiciously.
"Let's go and I'll tell you on the way." Steph promised leading the two guys out of the dorm.
As soon as they were seated at the restaurant Logan eyed Steph "Spill it."
"She heard you talking to Colin." Steph confessed. "Oh god." Logan said putting his head in his hands "What did she say?"
"I'm not going to tell you." Steph told him "This is something you've gotta talk to her about. Oh and if you tell her I told you she knows what you said. I'll kill you."
"Maybe if I just ignore it, this whole problem will go away." Logan thought out loud. "Yes, And Finn hates alcohol and redheads." Colin shot back sarcastically.
It was around five o'clock when Logan decided he was going to be brave and call Rory. After all they were supposed to go to dinner tonight.
He dialed her number and listened to it ring nervously.
Rory heard her phone ring and looked at the caller ID that flashed LOGAN.
"Hey Babe." Rory answered brightly. "Hey." He said confused, he didn't understand why she was so happy. "So I'm just calling to make sure your feeling better, Steph said you were sick this morning."
"I'm fine, Just a stomach ache. I swear it was the lettuce you made me eat on that burger last night." She laughed.
Logan smiles remembering how long it took him to convince her to even consider eating it. "I guess you were right all along, Gilmore's systems just don't except green things."
"Well I've got to shower and get ready so you'll pick me up at six thirty?" Rory asks. "Yep, I'll see you then." Logan told her.
"Bye, I Love you." She said. "Love you too, Ace." and with that Logan hung up his phone.
He had no idea what was going through Rory's mind, she seemed genuinely happy. "I'll just figure this out later." Logan thought to himself then walked into the bathroom to get ready for the night ahead.
It was six twenty eight and Rory knew Logan was annoyingly on time for everything. Though she still had to put on her make up.
Six Thirty promptly Logan strolled into her dorm. "Do you think me just walking in takes the mystery of seeing you all dressed up?"
"Oh Come on! You know seeing me rushing around with one shoe on and curlers in my hair turns you on!" Rory joked as she walked into the bathroom to finish doing her make up.
Logan had no response to her comment so instead he sat on the couch watching the channel that Rory had left it on.
About ten minutes later Rory emerged her hair curled, makeup done, and a beautiful blue cocktail dress. She grabbed her purse to see Logan absolutely enthralled in the television.
"What are you watching?" She asked. "Maury, It's the episode where you have to guess if it's a man or a woman." Logan told her not taking his eyes off the screen.
Rory stifled a laugh she had never pictured Logan for a talk show junkie.
"And let me say, Thank god I found you because it was only a matter of time before I ended up with a very pretty man because they are so damn convincing!" Logan said completely exasperated.
At this point Rory was having a having a hard time breathing let alone controlling her laughter. Logan looked at his girlfriend in full hysterics. "You Find that funny?" he asked her seriously.
Rory nodded her head furiously "Now lets go before I have explain that we are late because you were flabbergasted that men could be so convincing as women. Though that would definitely be a conversation my mother would take part in."
Logan shut off the TV and grabbed her hand as they exited the dorm. Logan opened Rory's door for her but before shutting it leaned down. "Have I told you how unbelievably beautiful you look this evening?"
"I don't think so." Rory smiled. "Well then let me tell you your absolutely stunning." as he leaned in to give her a kiss that was meant to be a quick peck but quickly escalated into a more passionate one.
Logan pulled away first "Ror, We've gotta go." he told her. She whined but let go of him anyway.
They pulled up the Hayden Mansion just in time. "Why do you look so nervous!" Rory asked. "You've met them all before except my dad and if Luke doesn't hate you neither will my dad."
"I know it's just…" He said but Rory cut him off with a kiss. "It's just nothing. You'll be fine. I promise if the big bad rich people are mean to you I'll defend you." Rory cooed.
"Your not funny." He deadpanned. "I thought I was." Rory laughed as the door opened. "Rory! Are you going to stand there all day or are you going to come in?" Francine asked.
"Sorry Grams." Rory said walking into the Foyer with Logan following. "This is Logan, my boyfriend. You met him at the Gala."
"Yes, of course! How are you Logan?" Francine questioned. "Very well, Mrs. Hayden." Logan said quietly.
"Oh don't be ridiculous! Call me Francine, The only time I make people call me Mrs. Hayden is when I want to intimidate them." Francine laughed. "No lets go into the Living room shall we."
"Sure! I cannot wait to see Dad!" Rory said excitedly as she walked ahead of the two.
"Logan, Dear. I know your walking into the lions den with her father, soon to be step father, and both grandfathers but they won't hurt you. Well that is unless you go in there with her pink lip stick on your face." Francine said handing him a tissue.
"Thank you." He said gratefully as he wiped the make up off his face. "Now your good dear. Lets go." she told him as they walked into the living room.
Rory was making the rounds and was hugging her father. "Logan! This is my father Christopher Hayden." Chris walked over to Logan and shook his hand. "Call me Chris."
"Will do." Logan nodded. "What can I get you two to drink?" Richard chimed in. "Club soda, please." Rory requested. "Scotch I presume for you Logan?"
"Yes sir." Logan said sitting next to Rory on the couch. "So Logan, How are your parents?" Strobe Finally spoke.
"They are good. Dad just got finished buying a newspaper in New Jersey and Mom's been stressing about a upcoming event."
"Nonsense! Your mother worries to much, She always plans fabulous events!" Francine praised. "I'll be sure to relay the message. She'll be thrilled to hear it." Logan said making small talk.
"Let's jump to the chase. What are your intentions?" Strobe asked. Rory practically spit out her drink upon hearing her grandfather say that.
"Rory? Is there a problem?" Emily asked. Rory looked over at Lorelai, Chris and Luke who were busy trying to contain their laughter.
"No, It's just I really didn't expect you to flat out ask what Logan's intentions are." Rory said slightly shocked.
"It's a perfectly acceptable question. You're my Granddaughter and I want to make sure you are being properly taken care of."
"I assure you Mr. Hayden that I love your granddaughter and I will never do anything to hurt her." Logan said as Rory took his hand in hers and gave him a reassuring squeeze.
"That's what the last little punk said." Strobe said unconvinced. "Gramps, Logan wouldn't do that to me. Logan helped me when Tristan broke my heart and after when he kept coming back .
"Kept coming back?" Francine asked. Rory bit her lip she hadn't told anyone but her friends and her mom what had happened.
"Yes, After we broke up Tristan had a hard time excepting that were not together anymore." Rory said trying to make it sound casual.
"What did he do to you?" Strobe asked no Longer paying attention to Logan. "He didn't do anything." Rory lied and she hated lying to her grandparents but she didn't want them to know.
"Rory, You've never been a good liar before now tell me what that little jerk did." Strobe said angrily. "He just lost his temper a few times." Rory whispered leaning into Logan.
She hated thinking of those memories. "THAT BASTARD HIT YOU!" Strobe yelled now standing. "I assure you everything is taken care of. Logan and Finn beat him up pretty badly and I have a restraining order. Please just let it go."
"You beat him up? Isn't that a bit juvenile?" Francine asked Logan. "Rory called me after it happened and I saw her crying and she had bruises on her and I lost it. I know not the most appropriate way to deal with the situation but I couldn't bare to see someone hurt her like that."
"I would have done the same thing." Strobe said. "He got what was coming and I assuming your lawyers put together the restraining order?" Strobe questioned.
"Yes, Sir." Logan said. "Good, Those are the best lawyers out there. Not any young man would stick around for that much drama. You do obviously love my granddaughter." Strobe said approvingly.
"That I do." Logan said confidently. "Dinner." The maid said walking in.
Everyone got up and ushered into the dining room. Chris stopped Logan. "Thanks for taking care of my baby girl."
"It's my pleasure. She's amazing. I don't think I've ever met a girl that could put me in my place better than my father." Logan told him.
Chris smiled. "That I am guessing she learned from her mother. Now lets get in there before they send the maid out in search of us."
Logan took his seat next to Rory. "Did he threaten you?" Rory whispered. "Nope, he actually thanks me for watching out for you."
"Damn, I think it'd be funny to watch him threaten you." Rory laughed. "Your concern is overwhelming, Ace." Logan smirked.
It was about half way through dinner and nobody was even paying attention to Rory and Logan. Strobe, Chris, Richard and Luke were all having a in-depth discussion about insurance matters. Lorelai, Emily and Francine were all discussing something that sounded very suspiciously like wedding plans.
Rory grabbed Logan's hand under that table. Logan smiled it was a simple gesture but it made him feel like she needed him.
Rory and Logan continued to eat silently until Rory decided she was going show Logan how much she loved him.
She let go of his hand and began to rub the inside of his thigh. Logan felt what she was doing. "Rory!" He hissed trying not to draw attention to them.
"Yes?" She asked innocently giving him her Bambi eye's. She continued to rub the inside of his leg letting her hand gaze his crotch when switching to rub the other thigh.
Logan sucked in a breath. "Will you excuse us for a moment?" Logan asked receiving nods as everyone went back to their conversations.
Logan grabbed Rory's hand and lead her to the end of a hallway. "What are you doing!" He yelled as quietly as he could.
"Do you really need me to explain what I was doing?" Rory asked him smirking. "OK, I know what but why?" He asked.
"Because, I heard you talking to Colin and I wanted to prove to you that you were wrong." She told him. "So you decided to give me a boner at the dinner table with your parents and grandparents sitting there?" Logan asked.
"Logan, Your so determind to impress them andI don't know why andIt's not like it's the first time that you've had that done to you with adults around why is it being done by me any different?" Rory asked.
"It just is! ok?" Logan said slightly annoyed. "Oh, Ok. Well umm.. We better get back." Rory said quietly. As she walked back to dinner.
Logan couldn't help but feel horrible she looked so rejected. He sighed and walked back to the dinner table.
Dessert and Coffee went by very quickly. "It was nice to get to know you, Hope to see you soon." Strobe said shaking Logan's hand.
"You too." He said with his society personality kicking in. Richard and Emily had stay to chat further with Strobe and Francine leaving Lorelai, Luke, Chris, Rory and Logan in the drive way.
"So that wasn't the night from hell like I was expecting it to be." Rory declared. "Me either! They were so…Nice. They are never that nice!" Chris added.
"It was a bit eerie." Rory commented. As they all broke out into laugher. "Alright, I've gotta get going. I'll talk to you all soon." Chris said Hugging Rory and Lorelai and giving Luke and Logan a hand shake.
"Alright, I'll talk to you kids later. Ror, Call me!" Lorelai yelled as she walked to Luke's truck.
Rory and Logan both got into he car he began to drive but the silence was driving him absolutely crazy. "Ror.." He started but she cut him off. "Logan, Just save it. I get it."
"No, I don't think you do." Logan tried. "Just let it go please." Rory pleaded turning to him. "Just forget it ever happened."
There is this chapter. TWO MORE TO GO! I must admit I am getting a little anxious to get this over with and start my new one.
Oh, And guys do talk about that stuff, probably not as mushy like as they do in my chapter but I'm not a guy so I don't know how they'd word it.
