Chapter nine: Talking
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lorelai woke up the next morning to find herself on the couch. Confused, she tried to move but there was something holding her down. Last night's events came flooding back to her and she looked up to see Chris looking back at her.

"Morning" she whispered, smiling at him.

"Afternoon" he said with a smile.

"Really?"

"12:15"

"Wow..."

"So..."

"I think we should talk" she said, slipping out of his embrace and standing up, straightening her clothes. He nodded and followed suit walking into the kitchen as she started the coffee maker.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rorys eyes fluttered open and she around in confusion. She wasnt at her dorm. She wasnt at home. She was on a couch in a guys dorm. Then she remembered everything from the night before. She looked down and saw Logan looking back at her.

"How long have you been awake?" she asked.

"Not long"

"What time is it?"

"12:30" he said pulling her back down so she was laying down instead of sitting up.

"Logan"

"Hm?"

"I think we should talk"

"I think you're right"

"But first, coffee"

"You got it Ace" he said and they both got up and went to the nearest coffee cart.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lorelai and Chris sat in silence for a few minutes, staring at their coffee before Lorelai spoke.

"I meant what I said"

"I know. I meant it too"

"It's just...I think we should hold off on any kind of relationship until I have things straightened out with Luke"

"I agree. Are you okay?"

"Better than I was last night"

"Are you going to call Rory?"

"No...she's the one that needs to cool off, I'll wait until she calls me"

Chris just nodded in response and sipped his coffee as the silence took over once again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I meant what I said" Logan said as they walked through campus, slowly, heading back to his dorm.

"Good. I meant it too" she said as they stopped so he could unlock the door and lead her to his room.

"I was just afraid you wouldn't have belived me or maybe you would've thought I had changed my mind or something. I dont know it's just...I really do like you Rory and I have for a long time and I would hope that you can diminish that part of my past"

"I want to believe that you can completely stop and commit to me. I hope you understand that after what I've gone through the past few months I'm gonna be really sensitive on the subject of trust"

"I understand that Ace. So...you havent heard from Dean since then, have you?"

"No and I'm kind of afraid. He said it wasnt over and if he's gone for a long time than I wont expect it if he tries anything"

"It'll be okay"

"I hope you're right"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, short. But I wanted to get it out. So like I said, Dean will be out of the picture, for good, soon. Probably next chapter. So we got the talking parts down so thats good. More things with Luke will happen until he is out of the picture. So, I hope you liked this one. Please review!

Next chapter: Lorelai, Chris and Luke have an ugly confrontation and Rory finds out some shocking news.
