DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gilmore Girls or the song title "We've got Nothing but Love to Prove" by Faith Hill.

Rory groaned as her alarm clock rang early on monday morning. She knew that after spending all weekend holed up in her room, she was now going to have to face Marty. She still had no idea what she was going to say to him, but she did know that she really didn't want to start a relationship with Marty, especially if it was for the wrong reasons. Throwing the covers off to the side, she finally pulled herself out of bed and got ready.

"Can I have a large cup of coffee, please?" Rory asked the coffee cart attendant, who nodded and handed her the plastic cup. Rory began rummaging in her bag for her money, but stopped when she heard Marty's voice.

"Here, it's on me." Rory glanced up and gave Marty a small smile in thanks. As much as she tried, she couldn't get the image of Logan kneeling over in this very spot to help her pick up her fallen change. She sighed silently to herself, thinking about how great it was then; right after they had first started sleeping together and she had Logan's full attention. Hell, he had even left his skiing trip early just to spend a week alone with her. Maybe that's why she had such a hard time letting go. No matter how much Logan claimed to not be the boyfriend type, he had always seemed to fit into the role so seamlessly. He was able to make her feel like she was his entire universe, making it all that much more difficult when he stopped calling her for an entire week.

Marty motioned to a nearby bench and Rory mutely nodded and followed him. "So…" Marty started nervously.

Rory fidgeted with the lid on her coffee, trying to do everything she could to stall. "So… I did a lot of thinking this weekend."

"Good… thinking is good." Rory had never seen someone act so fidgety before in her entire life. She hated that she was able to have this effect on Marty without even trying.

Rory smiled tightly and said, "I don't want to lie to you, Marty. I'm not sure if I'm ready for a relationship."

"Oh." Marty said quietly, looking down at the cup in his hands. Oh no, say something, Rory. Look how hurt he looks.

Rory placed her hand softly on his and said, "But, I think we could try a date. Just to see how things go."

Marty shot his head up, smiling brightly. "That's great, Rory. How about tomorrow night? 7:00?"

"Sure, that sounds great." She slowly moved her hand away from his, grasping it around her coffee cup and bringing it to her lips. She could already tell that dating Marty wasn't going to work out; she felt absolutely no spark when their skin touched. With Logan, every tiny brush of the skin had made her heart beat faster and her skin tingle. You have to stop thinking about him. He doesn't want you the way that you do. Just give Marty a chance.

"Well, I really have to get to class. I'll see you tomorrow night." Rory stood, threw away her empty cup in the trash nearby and gave Marty a half-wave as she walked away.

Logan stood at the coffee cart, feeling nauseous at the sight he had just seen. Rory was touching the bartender and talking closely with him. The thought of him touching her made him go crazy, but what made it worse was the fact that she was the one who reached for his hand. He saw the look of pure elation that grew on Marty's face from the single touch by Rory, and as much as the cute schoolboy with a crush look on his face made him want to laugh, he knew why Marty was so happy. Rory was probably the only girl that he ever held hands with; a fact that did not go unnoticed by his friends. They could tell from day one that Logan was in way over his head with her. Too bad it took me this long to notice it myself.

"So, how are things going on the boy front?" Lorelai asked Rory as she was talking to her on the way back from classes.

Rory sighed and said, "Complicated. I know that I should just forget about Logan, but every where I go, I see him."

"Wow, you see him that many times a day? That must be tough, kid."

"No, I see him in my head. Everywhere on this campus has some sort of Logan reminder." Rory tried to explain as best she could, but even she couldn't understand it. Sure, with Dean and Jess there had been some lingering memories, but never to this extent.

"Sorry to say it, hun, but I think that just means that you aren't over him." Lorelai had spent the entire weekend on the phone with Rory trying to sort out her thoughts on Logan, but even she could tell that Rory had seriously fallen for him; there was no easy solution to this problem.

"Yeah, clearly. And now, I have a date with Marty tomorrow." Rory tried not to grimace at the thought of her upcoming date. Marty was a sweet guy and she had always enjoyed his company. As friends that is, she thought.

"So, you decided to go that route, huh?" Lorelai had never met Rory's 'naked guy,' she had only heard fond stories of him. In her experience, if a girl has seen a guy naked and hasn't had the urge to rip his clothes off, then it was strictly a platonic relationship.

"Yup, I decided I have to at least try."

"You know, Ror, you could try this fabulous thing called wallowing." Lorelai smiled and eagerly awaited her daughter's response.

"I am not wallowing over Logan Huntzberger, he doesn't deserve it!" Rory said loudly, earning her a few strange glances from surrounding students.

"While I completely agree with you on that one, I still believe it is an important part of the healing process. After that's done, maybe you should try being single for once in your life." Lorelai had always told Rory that she was lucky; she never really had to date. Both Dean and Jess had just become automatic boyfriends; no dating around to see if they were right together. It was about time that Rory had to experience the other side of dating, and unfortunately for her, that side wasn't always enjoyable.

Rory sighed, not wanting to hear another rant about the wondrous healing powers of wallowing. "Hey, I was single last year!" She tried to defend.

"Yeah, and we all know how that turned out." Rory's face fell at the memory of the end of last year. She definitely did not want to relieve that memory; that was what had made her decide to be in a no strings attached relationship to start with. She thought that with Logan, she could avoid the drama and just have fun. And that worked out so well…

"Look, mom. I really have to start studying. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay… Love you, kiddo." Lorelai hung up, shaking her head at the situation Rory had worked herself into. She was completely in denial about her feelings towards Logan and if she wasn't careful, she was going to drag poor Marty's heart into the complicated and dangerous mix.

Logan sat in his living room, staring at the moving television screen. He was never much for watching TV, but recently he had found himself being dragged into the crazy world that was Rory Gilmore, which included various movies and TV shows. He could still hear her mocking everything about what they were watching, even if it was her favorite show "The Office." When was the last time I watched TV with a girl? Logan had been vaguely aware that in the past few weeks he had definitely been blurring the line between Rory being his friend with benefits and his girlfriend. He had always pushed it off to the side though, thinking that Rory was just a rare exception. It wasn't until now that he realized that the reason she was such an exception was because he had fallen for her. Suddenly, the thought of having a girlfriend didn't seem so bad; if he had a girl that he was crazy about and actually enjoyed spending time with, why wouldn't he want that?

So, I decided to continue with this, even though the response wasn't huge to the first chapter. I really do appreciate all of you that did review and I hope you continue to read! Thanks!
