Chap 8 A Ladies Man and a Nun

The next morning Logan strolled into work as usual and tried to conduct business but he kept thinking about her, about her smile, her laugh, the way she rambled on and how she blushed when he would compliment her. He found himself in a daze most of the morning.

He was having lunch with his father when Mitchum noticed the glazed look in his eyes. "Logan, is everything alright? Have you heard anything I've told you?"

"Nothing's wrong, well okay maybe I wasn't listening but I have a lot on my mind."

"Really like what. Is there something wrong with one of the papers?" He was playing along trying to get his son to open up.

"No, everything I've seen, about the papers, looks good. All the numbers are good. It's just that well, Dad, you know how you said the other day that fate must have known that I shouldn't have met Rory in the past. I don't know why it let me meet her now."

"What do you mean?"

"She's leaving, right after the wedding she's leaving for New Orleans than for England. And I know I just met her but there's something about her. I don't know, she's one of the few girls that have been able to keep my interest for more than one night."

"Logan, you began talking to her on Friday. Did you see her again this weekend? Is that why no one could get in touch with you?" Mitchum said hopefully. He really like Rory, she was intelligent, witty, and very pretty. She came from a good family, not like that mattered but that was a plus, and he had a feeling she would be good for Logan.

"Yes, we spent a lot of time together this weekend, and yes that is why no one was able to reach me. We knew if we left our phone on we would be attached to them whenever we were together." He didn't mention that meant the phone was off all weekend since he spent all his time with her. "But back to fate, if fate knew what is was doing why now. She's leaving in a month."

"Logan, fate can only guide you, you need to than take charge after that."

"Yeah. How?"

His boy may be a smart business man but it looked like he would need his help in other areas.

"Logan, what kind of ladies' man are you? I would think you would know how to pursue a lady."

"But she's different."

"That she is."

Mitchum heard that Rory would be leaving but he needed to see how Logan would feel once he met her. He knew what he would do in a situation like this and he hoped that the boy would realize what to go on his own.

Rory, Lorelia, Steph and Steph's mom Patsy got into the city around noon that Monday. After lunch they all went to Vera Wang's for fittings.

Rory was in the fitting room with Steph being shown how to help her into the gown.

"Steph, that dress looks perfect. I love it!"

"Thanks Rory, but you're being nice, I look huge."

"Stop it, mom, Patsy, tell her tell her she looks great."

Steph emerged from the fitting room and she heard her mother gasp. The dress fitted perfect on her, it helps having a gown designed to your measurements. It was a silk strapless ball gown, the bodice was fitted and it gradually flared from below her hips. She felt like a princess.

"Stephanie, you look beautiful. You've always have been beautiful but seeing you today I can't imagine what more can be done to improve the way you look."

"Mom, thank you but I look horribly my make-up and hair is horrendous."

"Steph, I don't care what you say I agree with your mom you look wonderful. Colin should count his blessings everyday."

"I think he already does." Rory piped in.

"Thanks everyone. Okay now that I'm done, it's your turn Rory."

Rory was a little apprehensive about trying on the open back dress. She had sex with Logan all over her place and she had some rug burns to prove it. Maybe if she walked in and backed out of the room no one would notice.

She stepped out of the fitting room. The dress was gorgeous, it was a midnight blue Chiffon gown with crepe black satin banded bodice, if is wasn't for the black band around the waist you would think it was black. The dress was sleeveless with thin chiffon straps it had a plunging neckline and a deeper plunging back, it showed her curves without clinging to her body.

"Rory you look great, I think everyone will be looking at you."

"Steph, I can't compare to you."

"Okay, stop it you two. You both look great. Rory turn around, let's see the back."

"Why it pretty much looks like the front."

"Rory, stop playing games and turn around."

She quickly spun around.

"Happy"

"Rory, what's gotten into you? You're acting like a child. Please turn around, slowly." Lorelai responded.

She knew she had no choice. She slowly turned around and than heard the chuckling.

"Rory, are you sick, you have an odd rash on your back." The three women burst out laughing.

"I was wondering why my best friend didn't call me all weekend."

"You know Steph, I was also wondering what happened to my daughter. She usually calls a couple of times a day but I didn't her from her till last night."

"Okay, so you figured it out. I was occupied over weekend."

"Hmm, I wonder with you?"

Everyone knew it was with Logan but they were enjoying this way too much.

Rory rolled her eyes and went back in to change.

"Rory, it's okay to have some fun, it's not like you can become a nun at this point?"

"Mom, I don't think you're supposed to encourage me to have sex."

"If I had obeyed those rules you my wonderful daughter would not be here."

"Okay enough. We want to do more shopping and you two still need to go and pick up your dresses." She pointed to Lorelai and Patsy.

They removed there dressed and headed out to Christian Dior for Mrs. Vanderbilt's dress and Valentino for Lorelai.

The rest of the afternoon was spent shopping, laughing and in general enjoying each other's company. No one brought up Rory's weekend activities so she thought she was in the clear.

They went back to the Four Seasons and retreated to their suites. Lorelai and Rory collapsed on the sofas.

"I'm too tired to move, can't we order in." Rory whined.

"No we can't, you know this is a tradition. You, me, Steph and Patsy always go shopping than go to dinner L'Impero. You should have rested more over the weekend." She said with a chuckle. "So tell me everything. It was Logan right? He is cute; if I was 16 years younger you wouldn't have a chance with him."

"Mom, do you have to know all the intimate details of my life. We had a great time and I plan to have similar times with him in the coming month."

"Does he know you're leaving?"

"Yes, I told him yesterday and I also told him that I'm not looking for anything, well not in so many words, but I told him that this what we would be doing would be no strings."

"Rory, are you sure that was a wise choice? I know you and you've never had a one night stand, you are a strings type of girl. I don't want to see you get hurt."

"Mom, I know what I'm doing. I'm the one who suggested the no strings. I mean it's perfect; Logan is a no strings type of guy so he can date other girls and when I'm gone he'll forget me…. Let's get ready the car will be here in a couple of hours."

They were in the car on the way to the restaurant when Steph began.

"Rory, will you be okay next time you see Logan?" She knew Rory didn't have one-night (or in this case two nights) stands; she didn't sleep around so she was worried that things would be odd between Rory and Logan at the rehearsal and wedding.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be okay? Oh I forgot to tell you that he'll be joining us for dinner on Wednesday."

"What?"

"That's alright isn't it? I mean he is Colin and Finn's friend also, and when I told him we were getting together for dinner he was kind of upset that he wasn't invited so I told him to join us."

"So he wanted to go to dinner with us?"

"Yes, why are you acting so surprised?"

"It's just that Logan usually is busy, so it kind of surprises me he's free, that's all." She didn't want to tell Rory that Logan's M.O. was usually sleep with her and never see her again and for him to be free that's not normal. Even with a no-strings type of thing the most she thought Logan was going to do was show up at her place, have sex and leave.

"Actually it surprised me. I assumed he would have a date or something but he went on and said that's he hit a dry spell and was available. By the way Mom he's coming with me to dinner on Friday."

"Rory are you sure about spending so much time with him. I don't want to see you hurt, I know it will be you leaving after Stephanie's wedding, but it still hurts to loose someone you're close to." Patsy didn't want say much on the subject but she was very surprised about hearing that Rory and Logan would be spending time together. She knew how Logan was and for him to want to spend time with a girl she had to be special in his book. Rory was special, no doubt, but she was worried for the girl she considered as her second daughter, she didn't want to see her to go through the pain she did before

"Listen everyone because this is the last time I'm going to say this. I made the choice to see him again to spend more time with him. We are in a no strings relationship, I want to have some fun before I leave and Logan is a lot of fun." She saw the three try to hide their smirks. "Stop the smirking, we did more than have sex over the weekend, I enjoyed his company. But we both know that I'll be leaving and neither one of us want to start something serious. I'm not looking for a boyfriend and Logan isn't looking for a girlfriend so what's wrong with spending time together until I leave?"

"We just don't want to see you get hurt." Lorelai reiterated.

"I won't."

The rest of the evening was spent talking about the bachlorette party, the wedding and men overall.
