Disclaimer: I own nothing...well actually I own a lot of things, I could list them for you but that would take awhile...but I do not own anything to do with Gilmore Girls...I do have an amazing picture of Finn though.
An: Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I had some troubles getting the ideas for this chapter to flow...but I managed to get it out so here it is.
Chapter 5: Life Moves Quickly
The bell jingled as the door to Luke's opened and Logan walked in. Walking up to the counter he slid on to a stool and waited for Luke to appear.
"Hey, Logan what can I get for you?" Luke asked as he walked up not looking up from his notepad.
"Actually I need some advice."
Looking up Luke asked, "What kind of advice?"
"Well I want it to be surprise, can I talk to you somewhere that people won't hear?"
"That's hard in this town" Luke said,than added "Yeah let's go upstairs"
After walking up the stairs to what was now simply an office and settling themselves in, Logan began. "I want to buy a house"
"A house? Where?" Luke asked surprised.
"Here, in Stars Hollow, I've thought about it and its where I want to live. I'm pretty sure Rory does too. I mean her mom is here and she grew up here, she loves this town." Logan explained.
"Wow, you want to live here, in this crazy town." Logan asked unsure.
"Yea, I do" Logan said, "I've already picked out a house."
"Your really serious about this aren't you?" Luke asked.
"Its what I want, I don't want to live in a big house that doesn't feel like home. I've always lived that way and its not a good way to grow up, there is no love. I want my daughter to grow up in a house with love." Logan replied.
"This is gonna be a big change for you, leaving the money you grew up with, are you going to be able to handle living a completely different lifestyle than your used to?"
"I'm sure it will take some getting used to but I would give up the world to be with Rory and Riley. It's not like I need a suit of armor or any of the expensive possessions I used to have. Although my father can't take them away so I can keep them." Logan answered.
"Wait, you had a suit of armor" Luke asked surprised.
"Yeah" Logan responded with a shrug
"A suit of armor...a suit of armor" Luke said astonished.
"Well it was for decoration, you know it was kind of cool." Logan said with a sheepish grin.
"I'm sorry, but you had a suit of armor?" Luke asked again still astonished
"Still do actually, but its not something I need or particularly want, I just want to live a quiet life with Rory" Logan told him.
Luke realized that Logan really wanted to do this and decided to help, even though he was still amazed that a 28 year old guy had a suit of armor. "What advice do you need from me?"
Grinning Logan responded, "I picked out this house, but I was wondering if you would take a look at it. You know see if the roof's good and if its worth what I'm paying for it."
"I could do that, when do you want me to look at it?" Luke responded.
"Whenever you have time, just don't tell Rory, or Lorelai she might tell Rory and I want it to be a surprise.
"I promise I won't tell them." Luke said standing up " I could take a break and go look at it now if you want."
"That would be great, if your sure you can go" Logan said standing as well.
"Yeah, lets go" Luke said leading the way downstairs.
The two men walked into the diner and then outside, as Logan began leading the way to the house. They walked past Kirk who was dressed as a giant ice cream cone in the town square shouting something about ice cream samples. Turning down Cherry Blossom Drive Logan pointed out the house up ahead.
"It's the blue one there" Logan said pointing at the beautifully crafted house.
"It looks good" Luke said as he walked up the sidewalk to the front porch. He began scanning the steps and railings, checking for dangers. He looked around the entire outside, only finding a few minor things that he could easily fix. Turning to Logan he said "let's see the inside"
"Alright" Logan responded as he took the key the realtor had given him and went to the front door. Opening the old Victorian doors they entered into a wide foyer. Straight ahead was a set of stairs and to the left of them was a hallway. Logan walked towards the hallway which led to the back of the house. Halfway down on the right was a door that led to the basement, while on the left was a small bathroom. It ended at the door of two rooms on either side. To the left was a family room that was rather large and comfortable. To the right were two glass doors that when opened revealed a kitchen.
Stepping down the two steps into the family room, Luke began looking around. He noticed that on the left were another two steps that led up to a wooden door. And to the right was another set of doors and windows that looked out onto the porch. "This is a beautiful house Logan" Luke told him still looking around.
"Thank you" Logan said sincerely, "You should see the rest of it." With that Logan began showing Luke around the rest of it. The kitchen was of all new appliances and had an island in the middle with stools centered around it. On the other side of the kitchen through a swinging door was an elegant dining room that had an archway on one end that led to a living room or parlor. This than came back around to the foyer in the front.
The stairs curved to the left about halfway up, at the top a short hallway ran perpendicular to another hallway that ran the length of the house. Turning around the railing Logan led the way to the master bedroom. Opening the two wooden doors they entered into the large open room. At the front there was a large window with a window seat. There were three doors on the wall opposite the windows, two led into walk in closets while the middle one led into the bathroom. The bathroom was a beautifully crafted room with a marble Jacuzzi tub and a separate shower. "Rory is going to love this" Luke said looking around.
"I hope so" Logan responded.
The rest of the upstairs consisted of three bedrooms and two more bathrooms. One bathroom connected two of the rooms. After exploring the house for about an hour and a half the two men walked back outside.
"So what do you think?" Logan asked cautiously.
"It's a beautiful house Logan, I can't find anything wrong with it...well except the back door lock is loose." Luke answered sincerely.
"Its not a mansion but its still a pretty big house, I just hope Rory will like it" Logan replied.
"I'm sure she will" Luke replied putting a hand on Logan's shoulder.
"Thanks Luke, I think I'm going to tell the realtor I'll take the house. I just have to figure out how to tell Rory."
"I'll see you later then" Luke said as they separated in the town square.
"Come on Ace we got to get going" Logan called out. It was Valentine's Day and he was going to tell Rory about the house tonight. He had had it all planned out since the deal went through a few weeks ago and the current resident moved out. He was currently waiting for Rory to get ready, and for Finn to arrive.
"Hold you horses, Mister. Finn's not even here yet" Rory called back. At that precise moment there was a knock on the door and Logan got up to answer it.
'Hey Finn, thank you so much for doing this." Logan said as he let Finn in.
"Anything to see my little princess." He said walking in
"Uncle Finn" Riley shouted jumping up and down on the couch.
"Come here Princess" Finn said picking up the little girl and swinging her around.
Rory walked out a few minutes later and joined the group standing by the couch. "Hey Finn, why don't you have a date tonight?"
"Well I had almost convinced Rosemary to go out with me, but than Logan called and said Riley wanted me to babysit and I couldn't say no to my Little Princess" Finn answered.
"Alright Ace we got to go" Logan said as he got Rory's jacket and slipped it onto her arms.
"Okay, bye Riley you be good for Uncle Finn okay." Rory said kissing the little girl before following Logan out.
Once they reached the car Logan stopped and turned to Rory pulling something out of his pocket. "Our destination is a secret so I must ask you to where this" he said holding up a black blindfold.
"A blindfold, Logan I'm not wearing a blindfold." Rory whined.
Twenty minutes later they were in the car and Rory had the blindfold on. "Are we there yet?" Rory asked impatiently.
"Almost" Logan said as he drove through Stars Hollow. Pulling into the driveway of the house Logan got out and went around to help Rory out.
"Where are we?" Rory immediately asked as Logan positioned her on the sidewalk in front of the house. He put a small box in her hands before taking off the blindfold.
As soon as Rory could see she looked around and almost instantly knew where she was. " Logan are we in Stars Hollow?" She asked slowly as she looked up at the house.
"Open the box" Logan told her gesturing to what was in her hands.
Slowly Rory pulled the top off the small square box to reveal a regular old key. "Is this..." Rory trailed off as she looked up at the house.
"Yes it is." Logan whispered as he led her up to the front door. Rory was speechless as she let him take her inside.
"I can't believe this" Rory said as she looked around in awe.
Laughing Logan took her hand and led her to the back of the house. "Come on I'll show you around"
They spent the next half hour touring the house before adjourning to the kitchen. Which had a table set for two and everything set out for a fancy dinner.
"I'm going to fix you dinner" Logan said as he went over to the counter to began the preparations.
"What are we having?" Rory asked as she picked up the glasses of wine and handed one to Logan.
"Salad..." Logan started and Rory made a face causing him to smile. " Steak and mashed potatoes" He continued.
"Sounds good, now hurry up I'm starving." Rory said.
After Logan had put the steaks on the grill he went over to Rory who had taken a seat on the counter. " So do you like the house?" he asked gently.
Grinning over the edge of her whine glass she nodded and replied " I love the house."
A grin spread across Logan's face " I haven't even shown you the best part" he said as he began walking towards the family room.
"What do you mean the best part?" Rory asked as she hopped off the counter and followed him.
Walking through the family room he went over to the door on the left and opened it. He flipped the light on as he moved to stand behind Rory. "This..." he started "Is your own personal library and office." he finished with a grin.
Again Rory was speechless as she looked around the large room that was covered in classic mahogany wood. It was beautiful and when furnished would make the perfect library.
"I thought we could put bookshelves around most of the walls and a desk or two in the corner so we could work. And of course a couple of comfy reading chairs." Logan said softly.
Turning around so she could face him Rory said "It sounds perfect."
"That's what I was aiming for" Logan said with his smirk in place before leaning down to kiss her softly.
Later in the evening while they were eating Rory asked "When can we move in?"
"Whenever you want" Logan replied as he cut his steak.
"We should move in soon, but it might take a few weeks to get everything packed."
"Well do you want to decorate first and furnish it?" he asked
"Can we afford new furniture?" Rory asked frowning slightly.
"Trust me I have been saving money and should have enough to furnish the house." Logan reassured her.
"How much money do you have saved back?" Rory asked curious now.
"A couple thousand after I paid off the house" He told her. "I think we can live fairly well but not like I'm used to" he added.
"We don't need to live like that. I'm sure we will be fine without all those luxuries" Rory said. "Although I will miss Bobby" she added.
With a grin Logan said "I still have the suit of armor in storage if you want to put it in the house somewhere."
"Really, could we?" Rory asked all excitedly.
"If you really want to" Logan answered with a laugh.
"We had so much fun with Bobby." Rory said dreamily.
"How about you and your mom spend a weekend or two and decorate everything before we move in." Logan suggested. "Just do me a favor and let me decide what goes in the basement" he added quickly.
"Okay, That's a good idea" Rory replied.
Before heading home, or well to the apartment they cleaned everything up and locked up the house. Walking out to the car Logan asked "Did you like the surprise?"
"I definitely loved it" Rory answered as she turned to face him.
Logan leaned down and kissed her softly wrapping his arms around her. " I love you Ace" he said after they broke apart a few minutes later.
"I love you too Logan." Rory replied softly as she looked up at him.
An: Well there is the chapter I hope you liked it. I kinda keep jumping through time real fast but I kinda need to, to make the story work. I had to put he suit of armor in there. Did anybody else notice that Logan had a suit of armor in his apartment in the episode last week? I thought it a bit ridiculous that a college student had a suit of armor in his apartment, I mean really. I so can't wait till this weeks episode it's going to be great. I just wish there was more Finn. Anyways if you like it tell me in a nice little review or even a long review that is good too.
