Chapter 5
It was 6 o'clock in the evening on Sunday, two hours after I proposed marriage to the woman of my dreams, she sat stunned for what seemed like an eternity but in actuality was only about 20 minutes. She said she was just scared, that she was just getting back on track with school, her dreams and even with us. I told her that I did not want to interfere with school that I wanted her to be successful and not a trophy wife; I had yet to tell her about what my father said about us running Hunztberger Media. I don't want to tell her until the time is right, I don't want her to feel obligated into marriage because my father is dying and also I don't want her to feel as if I am trying to bribe her.
"Logan?" she said calling me from the passenger seat in the car "Logan:" I finally snapped out of it and answered her
"Yeah, Ace, what's the matter?" I answered her wondering why she sounded so concerned
"Are you sure we are doing the right thing?" she asked me
I pulled the car over to the side of the road. I had answered this questions numerous times, and I couldn't believe she was still unsure. I was beginning to get aggravated; I wanted her to know I love her more than anything in the world. I wanted her to be sure of her answer,
"Logan, you are nuts we can't get married, we are to young and up until a little while ago we didn't have a future as anything let alone husband and wife. How could you think we could get engaged now?"
"Rory, you know I Love you more than anything in the world, why do we have to wait? I am not suggesting we get married now we can wait until you graduate or longer if that is what you want, but I want to make this commitment to you so you know that I am serious about our love and our relationship."
"I don't know, aren't we rushing this a bit"
"No I don't, why do we have to wait for anything we found love now, do you really find it necessary to wait, I am not asking you to give up anything, I don't want a trophy wife, Ace, I want you with all your goals and aspirations. I want you with all your arguments, pro/con lists and over thinking, I just want you! Please Ace, tell me you will marry me and make me the happiest Heir known to man" I said trying to lighten the mood to a happy one.
"Logan, are you sure?"
"I have never been more certain about anything in my life, what do you say?"
"Let's go"
"Where are we going?"
"Starr's Hollow"
I stopped dead in my tracks yanking her to stop
"Is this what I think it means"
"Yes, Logan it is"
"Tell me"
"Yes, Logan Elias Huntzberger, I will marry you"
I pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss one promising her the world, there was nothing I wouldn't give her and I knew that was the hardest thing to promise because she wanted nothing from me that money could buy. All she wanted from me was true emotion. Our kiss became more and more passionate until we ended up back on the bed. We peeled our clothes off one another until we lay together naked and panting.
"I love you Logan"
"Me too, ace, me too"
We continued to make love until we both climaxed in unison. We stayed in each others arms talking of the future. I kissed her again, she stood up and said
"Let's go fiancé; we have to go see my mother"
I had the widest grin known to man spread across my face, I am someone's fiancé of my own doing, nothing prearranged, not someone my mother picked; it was my Ace!
"Why are you just sitting there grinning like that, get up and get dressed, so we can go and get back for another go round" she said winking at me with over exaggeration
I stood up and started laughing as I got dressed and we left hand in hand to the car.
"Rory, really, of course we are doing the right thing, I am not asking anything of you except to love me"
"My Mom" she said rather nervously
"What about her, we are getting along now, so what's the matter" before I even finished my sentence I figured out what the problem was "You told her what happened last night" was all I said, she began shaking her head in agreement
"I am sorry, I thought we were over, I was drunk and at Paris's apartment, I didn't go into detail but she new we had a fight and were breaking up"
"We'll be fine Ace, really, she will understand right?"
"I didn't tell her what the fight was exactly about just that I was bombarded with a bunch of your prior conquests at your sisters wedding"
When she said that it was like a knife going through my heart, I knew that had to have hurt.
"Ok, we'll see what happens but I want to know are you sure in you decision, do you want to marry me?"
"Yes, Logan I am sure, now let's go to my mom's and tell her the good news" she said with a huge Huntzberger smirk on her face
"Hey Ace" I whispered "you know I am sorry about that whole situation last night right?"
"Yes, I know you are. Please let's just go before I change my mind" she said laughing
I just laughed and leaned over to give her a kiss, then pulled the car back out on the road towards Starr's Hollow. We sat quietly in the car, I was nervous, I didn't know what to expect from Loralie, I knew when Richard and Emily find out they would be pleased, well, at least Emily would, Richard I still wasn't sure about. We pulled off at the exit and traveled down the road, and she squeezed my hand as we passed the rooster. I smiled knowing that she was nervous but happy to be here.
I pulled my car into the driveway of her childhood home and turned off the car
"Why do you look so nervous" I said to her
"I don't know I just hope she is going to be happy for us, she'll be happy, right?"
"Of course" I lied, I truly didn't know if she would be happy or not
We walked up the path and onto the front porch and she opened the door and let us in Loralie was sitting on the couch reading a book.
"Hi Mom" Rory said as we were entering the house
"Hey, sweets, I am so sorry about you and Logan, did your move go…" she finally looked up and saw me standing with Rory
"Oh, well this is a surprise, I thought..." Loralie said unable to complete her thought
"Mom, everything is fine, Logan and I had a long talk and worked everything out, it was sort of a misunderstanding" she said struggling with the word I rubbed her back knowing it was still hard for her to deal with, I still after all hurt her.
Loralie stood up and shook her head and said "Ok, if you sure you are ok?"
"Yeah, we are" She said sweetly looking at me with love in her eyes.
"Um, Loralie, we have some news" I said scared out of my mind
"Should I stand or sit" was all my future mother in law could say
Rory ran over to her unable to contain her obvious happiness and screamed while jumping up and down in true Gilmore Fashion.
"I don't know why I am screaming and jumping but this has to be good" Loralie said while laughing
Rory finally stopped and calmed down and said
"Mom, Logan and I are getting married"
"WHAT" Loralie screamed then started hugging Rory and jumping up and down again.
There was a sigh of relief written all over Rory's face and I was thrilled that she was so accepting. I knew that this was going to make all of her fears settle a bit. I still needed to decide when I was going to tell her about the company. I will speak to my father tomorrow and figure the best course of action.
We stayed in Starr's Hollow until around 9 o'clock, we went to Luke's and told him the good news and everyone new in a matter of minutes everyone was congratulating us, even Dean, seemed happy for us even though he didn't stay around longer than he had to. We decided that tomorrow, since we were both going to be done with classes by noon that we would make the drive into Hartford to see the elder Gilmore's and Huntzberger.
"Logan, I just called my grandmother and told her we would be by tomorrow around 1 is that okay" she asked
"Of course, then we'll go to my parent's house after that"
"Did you call them?"
"No, Dad was telling Mom tonight I don't want to interrupt so I will call him in the morning" I said realizing that all the celebrating we are doing was sort of being brought on by bad news. We both had sad looks on our faces thinking of my father, Loralie noticed.
"What is the matter with you two you look as if someone just died?" she said unknowingly
Our faces dropped and we both had tears in our eyes.
"Logan, she doesn't know, I'll tell her" Rory said, and before I could protest Loralie was standing next to us wondering what was going on
"Mom, there is something you don't know, Logan was going to propose to me last night but of course that didn't work out" Rory starting telling her mother the whole story, My dad showing up at the paper our discussion at the apartment, the phone call with my dad and the proposal.
"I am so sorry, I had no idea, me and my big mouth" was all she said
"Lor, it's ok, there was no way you could have known, its hard to digest, I still can't get a full handle on it" I said while looking at Rory she was holding my had in hers comforting me.
The ride home was quiet; tomorrow we face the other members of our families and hope they would be happy. I hadn't told Rory yet but, although my father was happy I still was unsure of my mother and grandfather, I have no idea how they are going to react.
