I don't own anything Gilmore Girls

Chap 5 Who were we protecting?

The left the party and were on their way to the restaurant they spoke about general topics such as school and work.

"I heard you were a great reporter back in the day, at least that's what my father says."

"Your father is a bit biased. I did okay and I loved being a reporter."

"So Ace, what made you give it up"

"Ace?"

"You know 'Ace Reporter'"

"OK, I wouldn't say I gave it up I decided to pursue another avenue. I still plan to write but I like doing features better and working freelance let's me also pursue other interests."

"Well what about you? Do you like working with and for your father?"

"If you would have asked that question before I finished college I would probable say no, but I enjoy the work I do and my dad and I actually became closer as a result. I realized he isn't a bad guy."

It was Logan who asked the next questions. "I know this is stupid but why does everyone call you and your mom the Gilmore Girls when both of you are now Hayden's?"

She was laughing. "Silly boy Gilmore Girls is a state of mind. If you had known my great-grandmother Trixie you would understand. We speak out mind, we are our own person. So you see even though our last name may be Hayden our heart's are Gilmore that and we do have Gilmore blood running through our veins."

Rory then looked at Logan and asked the one question that bothered her for years.

"Logan, why have you always avoided the dinners my grandmother tried to set us up at? I'm sure that I was not your first attempted set-up. Am I not your type? You can tell me the truth I won't be upset."

"Actually I didn't know that Rory Gilmore and Lorelai Hayden were one and the same. I thought you figured that out at the book launch party. If I had known we would have met years ago. I know that isn't a good excuse but I was tired of my parent's trying to set me up, I wanted to get to choose, not that I wouldn't choose you, I have wanted to meet you for years. That night I saw you at the book launch I wanted to come up to you but my father made it clear that I was there for two reasons to show support for the author and meet Lorelai Hayden. No one ever told me that the author was Lorelai Hayden."

With a smirk on her face, "Oh I knew you didn't know who I was at the party but I still didn't understand why you were avoiding the meetings all together." She looked at him "so does that mean I'm your type?"

"Yes, yes you are."

They pulled up to the restaurant, Logan gave the valet his keys and they walked in.

As soon as they walked in they heard Finn yelling, "Love, up here." They were all sitting in the second floor dining area. It was a perfect area, not too big but enough for them to take over.

Logan helped Rory up the stairs.

"Logan you finally met the woman I'm going to marry once I convince her to dye her hair red."

"Finn, I'm not dyeing my hair red."

"Rory, you break my heart."

"Don't worry Finn I'll find you a red-head to repair it."

"Love, I knew there was a reason I stayed friends with you."

"Finn, is that the only reason you stay friends with me, my ability to always find you a red-head?" she falsely pouted.

"That and because only you can keep up with me with my wit."

She went over and gave him a hug and kiss.

"Steph tells us that you have forgiven us for keeping you and Logan apart for so many years."

"Yes, Colin I forgive you all but all of you know I don't need protecting. I'm a big girl."

"Yes you are Love." He said with a smile.

Rory slapped Finn in the arm, "Besides who said anything about me and Logan getting together. You all make it seem that he and I would have been all over each other if we every met. Well I'm happy to say that we met again today and I haven't jumped him."

Logan was a little disappointed in hearing this, but then he felt her hand on his thigh and when he looked up at her she winked.

Throughout the night Rory and Logan flirted with each other and it was obvious to everyone there that tonight wasn't going to end anytime soon for these two. The night went on and after countless stories and martinis it was closing time.

"Logan, would you mind walking me home."

"Sure, wait, did you say walk?"

"Yeah, I have an apartment across the street."

"Oh, okay, you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."

As they headed out the door Steph turned to Colin: "You know all these years we have been protected Rory from Logan but maybe we should have been more concerned about protecting Logan."

They crossed the street and in a matter of a minute she was at the entrance of the building.

"Well, this is you so goodnight. I hope we can do this again." Logan said.

"The night doesn't have to end yet, would you like to come up for a nightcap?"

Logan didn't hesitate he kissed her and answered her with a "Yes"

Rory was smiling about to enter the building when Logan remembered that his car was still with the valet.

"I forgot my car is still back there."

"Oh, I forgot about your car. I have a couple of spaces in the garage we can move it there."

They walked back hand in hand to get his car, than drove up to the gated garage.

"Rory what's the entrance code?"

Rory took the opportunity so show him that the nightcap wasn't going to be only a drink; she leaned over him placing her had between his legs, she heard him let out a hiss as she "accidentally" brushed her hand against his crotch. "It's a secret." She whispered seductively in his ear. She entered the code and slowly sat back in her seat, smiling the whole time.
