Paris' knock woke her up at eight on the next Tuesday morning.
"Come on Paris, I don't have class until eleven today. Don't you know I need my beauty rest" Rory whined.
"Well of course princess but I thought you would want your coffee while it was still hot."
"Oh, yes please." Rory sat up in bed as Paris came and handed her the coffee. Her favorite laté today. This was the eighth day in a row that Logan had sent her a coffee in the morning. She secretly loved that he thought of her every morning but would never admit it. As far as everyone else knew he had just been a thorn in her side that she really never wanted to see.
"So, what other presents has he tried to win you back with this time?" Paris asked sarcastically.
"None" Rory answered with a surprised tone. He hadn't. The coffee was the only thing. But, everyday Logan had been at the paper and had handed in a brilliant article for the next day's issue of the YDN. For someone who hated the journalism business so much he sure was good at it. She had even began to depend on his articles and reserved space for them. He hadn't tried to beg her to come back or apologize and explain. Rory had been really surprised. She thought she would be grateful, but deep inside she wondered why. Maybe he really didn't even love her and he had already moved on to another girl. Was she jealous? No, she had broken up with him and didn't want him back. He had just made things easier for her this way. She tried to convince herself she was happy.
"I wish Doyle would shower me with gifts, but then again he is basically broke" Paris continued snapping Rory out of her train of thought.
Paris had also broken up with her boyfriend the same night as the awful wedding and they had truly bonded over their current disdain for the male species.
Logan finished making his breakfast of scrambled eggs and a toasted english muffin. Maybe he needed to talk to Rory. Things were not moving fast enough. He missed her. He knew he and Finn had agreed that it would be best to give Rory a little space as part of their plan but he was an inpatient man. He wanted Rory back now. His life seemed so empty without her.
Logan got up to answer a knock on the door and found Colin and Finn. They had come over for a game of pool before their classes.
After their games, in which Colin beat both Finn and Logan three times each, the boys left for class trying to convince Logan to stick with the plan and not rush Rory too much.
That evening, a dark shadow stalked around the expensive apartment building. He observed the three drunk men exiting the limo and heading toward the front revolving door. One of them had to be the one he was assigned to look after. Which one? The blonde one in the middle, the Australian, or the other dark haired one? Which one was richest – that would tell him. Maybe the front door man would address him by name. That would certainly help. Yes, he did. Good, now he knew which one he needed. Now, all he had to do was lay low for a few days and monitor him, learn his schedule, personality and habits. Soon he would know when the perfect time and place was to strike.
AN: A short one I know, but they will be much more lengthy from here on out. My afternoon classes got canceled due to the beautiful snow storm so I got to write all of this. I hope to keep the updates current though and will try my best. I'm actually pretty excited so that should keep me writing. Plus, your reviews really help to.
