B. After Rory's Graduation
C. Two years after both of their graduations
D. After they are married
I am also open to any suggestions you guys have!
Logan had a restless night sleep. Rory's words just continued to float around in his mind "…I can't consider being close to you…" Those words made him flinch. "…I want to forgive you, I just can't forgive a reason I don't know…" At least that statement was slightly hopeful. She wanted to forgive him, That had to be a good sign.
"I've gotta tell her." He mumbled to himself. "My God! I think he's got it!" He heard Steph's voice tease.
Logan opened his eyes slightly to realize he was on the couch. He had no recollection of being falling asleep on the couch. In fact he distinctly remembered going to sleep in his bed.
"Why am I on the couch?" He thought out loud. "Because you didn't want to be in your room to hear Honor and Colin go at it." Finn mumbled emerging from a big bundle of blankets from the couch opposite him.
"Eww." was Logan's response as his face twisted with a look of disgust. "Why are you here? Didn't we drop you off last night?" He asked Steph.
"It's not exactly early Logan. Quarter after eleven actually." She informed him plopping herself down next to Finn.
"So Blondie, What are your plans for the day? Do they include your sexy exotic boyfriend?" Finn asked playing with a lock of her hair.
"They include, meeting Rory for lunch then class with her, Then I guess I could pencil in my favorite boy toy." She said nonchalantly.
"I don't want to be penciled in, I want to have a custom made rubber stamp with aqua colored ink." Finn said firmly.
"Anything for you Finny." Steph smiled and rested her head on his chest. Logan watched the two and realized the once again he wanted what they had.
He wanted to be able to make Rory smile at sweet nothings, He wanted her to tease him. He was going to tell her, Even if they never became a couple, even if their friendship was too damaged to repair. She had a right to know.
"I got to get ready for class." Logan mumbled before getting up and closing the bathroom door.
"He's going to tell her." Steph said in a sing song voice. "How do you know?" Finn asked curiously. "He talks in his sleep." Steph grinned.
Logan's class had finished and he was sitting on a bench debating if he should call her and tell her. "What is such a hot guy doing sitting alone sulking for?" He heard a voice from behind him say.
He turned around to see none of then Lorelai Hayden standing there smiling. "Lorelai, What are you doing here?"
"Hitting on all the hot, young, Male students of Yale. But don't tell my husband, He still thinks I love him." She teased "Now, Give me a hug."
Lorelai pulled Logan into a tight hug, Logan, Colin and Finn were the son's she never had. She had missed them just as much as their own mothers had.
"You've been back in the states, What? Two, Three weeks and you haven't even come to see me? Shira was bragging about all the lovely things you bought her. I'm hurt!" Lorelai gasped sitting next to him.
"Just for the record, I didn't buy those. She sent me a list of things she wanted and I paid someone to get them. I didn't know what half the stuff on that list was." He laughed. He had missed Lorelai she was like a second mother to him.
"I assume you've talked to Rory." He let out a shaky breath. "Yep, Just came from Lunch with her and Steph actually. Apparently, she laid down the law with you."
"I have a feeling she's not going to want to hear my reasons." Logan told her.
Lorelai smiled "Now, That I know for a fact isn't true. Rory loved you as much as a twelve year old could love when you left. She never let those feelings die. They are still there, you just got to tell her that they aren't in vein."
"So I tell her, We establish that we both having feelings for one another. Then what? I've never been a one girl guy. I've never done the whole commitment, strings attached, boyfriend girlfriend thing. I'll hurt her. I know I will." he sighed.
"But you won't hurt her intentionally. And whether you believe that or not it's the truth. We all know why you didn't call or write. Well everyone with an exception of Rory, Colin and Finn. Those boys are a bit slow. But anyways, You've got to tell her, You've got to let her know. So at the very least you both can move on."
"Thought I don't like it, Your right." He told her with a smirk playing on his lips again. "Do you mind putting that in writing so I can show my mother?" Lorelai joked making Logan smile.
"I got to get going, Chris is waiting for me. We're going go-carting!" She exclaimed excitedly. "Have Fun and Be careful!" He shouted after her. Her only reply was "Yes, Mom!"
Logan admired the relationship Lorelai and Chris had, They had been married for twenty years and they still did things most couples would do on a first date. They still had a playful marriage, unlike most couples including his parents.
Pulling out his cell phone he dialed Rory's number and waited three rings later.. "Hello?" She greeted brightly.
"Hey Ace, It's Logan." the he said quietly which made her smile. She knew it was him, Caller ID was a magical concept.
"Hey, What can I help you with?" She asked then began to laugh at something a male voice said in the background.
"It's not Colin or Finn. Whose she with?" He thought to himself panicked. He was worried that she had waited long enough and was tired of waiting for him.
"Is this a bad time?" He asked her. "Oh! Oh no! I just got out of class with Steph and my friend Marty. We're on our way to meet Kara, His girlfriend. We all met at Orientation." She explained knowing what was going through his mind.
"Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to get coffee later, Around eight." He asked trying to sound casual but his voice was betraying him.
"Oh, Sure!" She said happily. He smiled relieved that she had agreed. "Pick you up at eight then."
"Bye." She replied before hanging up the phone. There was a look of hope on her features that Steph couldn't ignore.
"Who? What? When? Where?" Steph questioned. "Logan, Meeting with Logan, Tonight, I don't know." Rory laughed.
"Really! We've got to call Honor and get you ready!" She squealed whipping her cell phone out and hitting speed dial 5.
"Blue! She's got to wear blue! It brings out her eyes!" Honor yelled. "But if she wears red it complements her hair and eyes." Steph argued.
Just then Finn and Colin walked in and sat on the couch next to Rory. "They've been having this argument for the last 45 minutes."
"I vote blue. It does bring out her amazing eyes." Finn commented. "FINN! Your supposed to agree with me!" Steph shrieked.
"I'm sorry, but I am a guy and I am just saying what I would want to see her in." He defended. "Yeah, I agree. Blue is the right choice." Colin added.
"See mine obeys!" Honor taunted Steph. "You are so going to pay later." Steph whispered darkly into Finn's ear.
"I have a nagging feeling that wasn't an innuendo, but a threat." Finn stage whispered to Colin. Colin warily nodded with a look of pity on his face.
"Alright, Here." Honor said handing Rory a dark blue long sleeve shirt and a denim skirt. "Go, Change." she ordered.
Rory reappeared and everyone agreed, blue was her color. "So it's quarter after seven." Honor looked at the clock. "We're cutting it close but we have time to do hair and makeup."
Both girls ushered Rory into the bathroom and began to applying make up and figuring out what to do with her coffee colored locks.
Colin and Finn sat on the couch staring at the shut door. "My god, I am glad I am not a women." Finn stated. "I second that." Colin agreed as they turned their attention to the television.
Eight o'clock rolled around the ever punctual Logan Huntzberger knocked on Rory's dorm room door but what surprised when he was greeted by Finn.
"Hello Mate, See you finally got your head out of your ass. That's good." Finn smirked then sat back in his spot next to Colin.
"What are you two doing here?" Logan asked confused. "Well, We came to seek our girlfriends however, they were to preoccupied dolling up Rory for your coffee date." Finn explained.
"I see." Logan nodded. "She looks gorgeous man." Colin remarked. "Well then there's no pressure at all, is there?"
"If your going to say what we think you are, then you have no worries." Colin assured him. "You are saying what we think you are right?" he asked as a look of panic washed over his face.
"Yes, Colin I am telling her my reasons." Logan rolled his eyes.
"Bout damn time, Because if I have to watch you sulk around any longer. I was going to have to kick your ass. And we both know I'm a lover not a fighter." Finn commented as Steph and Honor filed out of the bathroom.
"Hey Logan, Your telling her tonight aren't you!" Honor asked her brother hopefully. "Yes, Honor I am." Logan told her with a bored tone.
"Good." She smiled "RORY GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" she yelled behind her.
The door slowly opened and Rory stepped out as all eyes were on her. "For some reason I feel like I am reenacting She's All That.. Only I didn't walk down stairs... And You didn't asked me out on a bet…At least that I am aware of."
Logan smiled it was so like her to make a movie reference when she was nervous. "No bet, Promise." he smirked.
"Damn, I wanted you to have to graduate naked." she snapped her fingers in defeat. "Ready to go?" he asked.
She nodded and picked up her coat and purse from the couch. "Ready when you are."
"I feel as her father is not here I must assume the role of laying down the ground rules." Colin said cutting off their path to the door.
"No drinking and driving, No wondering hands Huntzberger and have her home by midnight." He listed off with a stern look on his face.
"Are you done?" Logan asked impatiently. Colin nodded and stepped aside. "You two kids, Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Finn yelled as Logan closed the door behind them.
"Finn, That doesn't restrict them from very many things." Steph laughed sitting on his lap. "No, Love. But that was sort of my intention."
"So, Mr. Huntzberger I assume this little outing is not all in vein." Rory said as Logan helped her into the car. "No, Miss Hayden it's not." He smiled.
"Care to fill me in on our Agenda for the evening?"
Logan smirked "You told me not to contact you until I was ready to share my reasons. That's exactly what I intend to do tonight."
"And we couldn't have done this while sitting at your place in pajamas with junk food in a movie. That way I can wallow right after?" She said more to herself then to him.
"Wallow? Why would you need to wallow?" He asked. Rory sighed. "Logan, I haven't the slightest clue of what your going to tell me tonight. For all I know it's going to be you have eight illegitimate children and three wives. I just, would like to be a little prepared."
Logan smiled leave it to Rory to think of the worst case scenario and multiply it by twelve. "Ace, I swear no wives, and only 3 illegitimate children." He joked.
Rory gave Logan a look that showed that she was clearly not amused.
"Here we are." Logan said putting the car in park and stopping it. "A café?" Rory asked.
"I said coffee, And this is one of the best places I know of in the country for said coffee." He told her. "Not better than Luke's." She replied simply.
"Luke's?" Logan asked. "Yeah, It's about a block and a half away from my mom's inn in Stars Hollow." Rory explained.
"Well, Then you'll have to take me there sometime." He smiled. "Yes, I guess I will."
He liked that she was making promises for the future, It made him think that she was certain that no matter what his reasons were, she was going to except them.
Logan escorted Rory to the café and into a secluded area surrounded by books and a plush couch in the center.
"How did you find this!" Rory asked amazed. "I'll never tell." He smirked. This was one of those times where she wished she could wipe that damn smirk off his face.
"I'm not going to lead you along, I want answers. I want them now." She blurted out sitting on the sofa. "The always blunt Rory Gilmore, Ladies and Gentleman!" He said in a fake announcers voice.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Get me coffee." she said waving her hand dismissively. "Oh, A bit bossy tonight aren't we Ace?" He asked walking away to fetch coffee.
He returned to see her already snuggled on the couch with a book. "You don't waste time do you?"
"You know, Books and Coffee make me giddy." She teased.
Logan sat on the couch next to her and handed her the cup of coffee. They sat in silence for awhile before she sighed.
"Want to get this over with, Quick and painless?" Rory asked getting anxious. Logan nodded and let out a deep breath. "Now or never right."
