Chapter 3
"Ace," "Rory, come on" "Please say something you have been quiet for almost a half hour"
"Logan, Please just let me think" she said "Wait, answer me a question, and please tell me the truth, no matter what and I will ask Finn and Colin."
"Anything, please; I will tell you whatever you want to know" I said
"Alright, have you ever cheated on me when we weren't broken up or on a break? Honestly, drunk at a party, while you were in Europe anything, and please tell me now, if you do I will take it into consideration but I need to know everything, even if a girl forced herself on you and you pushed her away, just tell me." She said
"You want to hear about every girl that I pushed away, because I swear on everything I hold dear, on you, Colin, and Finn I have never cheated on you. EVER." I said hoping to calm her fears I know she was thinking she can't trust me.
"But, you started that whole statement about every girl you pushed away, what was that about?" She said with calm in her voice that wasn't there before.
"You seriously want to hear about all the girls I told to go away? I mean Ace, come on you more than anyone knows that from the very beginning girls have been trying to break us up" I said thinking she was crazy for wanting to hear all of them.
"Logan, I am serious, but I see where you are coming from. So tell me the most memorable, I am doing this for a reason, just please humor me" She said almost pleading
"Ok, here it goes! The most memorable had to have happened during exams last year." I said looking at her face then I continued "Most people knew we were together and would ask where you were and when I would say you were studying, that's when they would really go nuts with themselves." "Ace, are you sure you want to hear this?" I asked not sure if she really wanted to hear all the details
"Yes I am sure please continue" she said like any good reporter would.
"So like I was saying, during exams, first girls would ask if you were there and as soon as
I said no it was like a baseball game they would line up and strike out." I said trying to
make her laugh but she just sat there and listened "Well, the first girl came up and started
saying "Come on Logie, if she's not here she won't know" then I calmly said "Oh how
original of you but no thank you really, Rory will be here later, she pouted as if I had
insulted her in someway, can you believe that, any way the next one was a little more
abrupt, she walked up and said "So Logan, I hear that your little girlfriend isn't here
tonight" I said "Yes, I know my girlfriend, Rory is not here tonight she is studying for an
exam, maybe you should try that sometime" then as if I hadn't said anything she said
"Well than I guess she really doesn't mind if you see other people, seeing as if she lets
you go to parties all by yourself" "No that's not it at all, she doesn't mind me coming to
parties because she trusts me that I won't succumb to advances from other girls, such as
yourself" then you won't believe she actually threw herself at me but between me and
Finn she didn't get close enough to kiss me, but if we were a little slower she would have,
and that was the first night you weren't with me during finals.
"WHAT, they were both in one night? She said obviously shocked
"Yeah Ace, until we came up with a plan when I would go to a party with out you I would get bombarded by girls at least 5 times a night." I said matter-of-factly
"What do you mean until you came up with a plan, what plan? Why have I not heard anything about this plan" she asked
"By the middle of the week so many girls were trying to break us up I decided to stop going to parties, especially after the last incident, but Finn being Finn wouldn't hear of it, so he came up with a plan that we didn't think would work but it did and still does." I said knowing full well that she was going to ask what the plan was I continued
"Between Colin, Finn, Stephanie, Seth and even Robert I was never alone if a girl was coming over to me she was cut off and sent packing. To this day it still works" I said proudly, but she had a look of confusion on her face and I asked her "What's wrong?"
"What incident?" she asked almost annoyed
"Oh that, well it was the night when you stayed at the library all night some girl got passed everyone and locked me and her in the bathroom and started fondling me! I had to push her off of me and ran out of the bathroom now, when ever I go to the bathroom, someone has to guard the door." I said laughing. However Rory was not. I could tell what she was thinking she wasn't sure why I went through all the trouble, why anyone had to go through all the trouble just for her.
"Ace, you are worth every bit of trouble, don't you think you aren't, it's something to laugh about later." I said
"Logan, that is not what I was thinking, that is not it at all, I really can't believe that all those girls, what they did, really what is up with that? She said and started laughing "I mean really, yes Logan I love you and I think you are gorgeous but come on, really what is it?"
I just laughed and said "it has nothing to do with me, they want my name and my money, and do you know I would never use a condom a girl had or trust her when she said she was on the pill, because every girl I slept with was praying to get knocked up by me; that is except you. Half those girls that came after me only had one thing on her mind and it was my name and all that that implies."
"I am sorry, I never knew it was hard on you and the rest of the group to go to a simple party." She said rather sadly
"Ace, it was never hard because I knew I was coming back to you, like I said it was a joke" I said it and meant it as time went on we would start taking bets.
"Your father came to see me this morning at the paper" she said not looking up from the table
"I'm sorry did you just say my father came to see you" I asked very confused, why did my father come to Yale on a Sunday morning after my sisters wedding
"He apologized to me, about the whole internship thing and a couple of other things. He thinks we are good together." She said explaining the whole conversation they had, but I could tell she was leaving something out.
"Yeah, that's why he wants to ship me off the London" I said bitterly while looking at her she was almost smiling "Rory, why are you smiling what is so funny about me going to London?"
"Maybe we should call him and tell him we are going to work things out" She said with a giant smirk on her face
"Sweetie, I think you have picked up on a few things from me because that is definitely a Huntzberger smirk you have on your face" I said with the same smirk on my face then added "well now I think we have a phone call to make"
I stood up walked over to her and gave her a quick kiss then over to the desk and called my father on the speaker phone
"Mitchum Huntzberger"
"Dad, it's me and Rory"
"Well hello there you two how are things there?"
"Fine sir, Rory suggested I call you and let you know that we are fine and we are going to work things out together"
"Rory are you there?"
"Yes Mitchum I am here, and yes it's true we have talked and we are going to work this out"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes sir we are sure" I said
"Rory are you sure?"
"Yes, I am I can trust him, I am sure of it. I Love him"
"Um, would someone like to tell me what is going on here, Dad? Ace? I was confused now.
"Logan please let your father talk"
"Thank you Rory, now Logan when I was talking to Rory earlier this morning I told her about something that I came up with last night; I want you two to work so if this is real if you are going to stay together and make it work, I am going to put you in charge of a paper here either in Hartford or Stanford and postpone London for a year and when Rory graduates you will both be heading to London together"
I was looking at Rory she had a huge smile on her face then I looked at the phone and then back to her
"Dad, are you serious? Please tell me this is not a joke?"
"No, Logan this is not a joke, I am very serious"
"Then, Dad, I, mean we happily accept."
"Yes Mitchum, thank you so much"
"Don't you two get too excited I still have one more question before its final"
I knew it, there are always strings, and I just whispered "Shit"
"What is it Dad?" Rory looked scared I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
