I don't own anything Gilmore Girls
Ch13 Gilmores, Haydens and Movies, Oh My
The next two days were horrible for Logan he couldn't stop thinking about her. Yes work was busy but what made the days worse was he didn't talk to Rory. They had basically spent a week together and now not even talking to her let alone not seeing her was plan painful. He couldn't wait until Friday.
The days were not that great for Rory either. She missed him, she managed to stay busy with helping Stephanie but when she had a moment to think her thoughts wondered to Logan.
Steph noticed the distant look in Rory's face.
"Thinking about him?"
"I'm not thinking about Logan."
"Of course you are, I didn't mention who he was yet you said Logan."
'Shit' Rory thought to herself.
"Rory, be careful. Don't get me wrong I love both you and Logan but you know about Logan and I don't want to you get hurt. Besides you're leaving in a few weeks."
"I know, we're just friends with benefits. There isn't anything else.' Rory sighed, she kept telling herself that they were just good friends.
"For your sake I hope that's true."
'Me too.' She thought.
The Friday night barbecue was going great. Everyone was having a good time laughing and eating. After fighting traffic Logan finally showed up. Everyone was happy to see him. Logan was surprised how different the Gilmore and Hayden's were when they were not at a function, no they weren't sitting around in short and t-shirts but they all had genuine smiles on their faces. No wonder Rory loved them all so much, they were a real family.
After a night of laughing and a competitive game of Trivia pursuit everyone was ready to retire.
Logan just held Rory as they fell asleep resting for another day with her family.
They were both woken up early abruptly by the voice of Lorelai.
"I'm coming in, you better be descent." The door swung open and to Lorelai's surprise both were clothed and asleep.
"Wakey, Wakey hand of snakey." She chuckled. She loved watching My Name is Earl and when she heard that quote she knew she had to use it someday.
"Mom that was bad" she said groggily
"You're just jealous that I used that quote before you."
"Whatever, what are you doing up at 9:00 in the morning on a Saturday?"
"Well, the guys tee time is at 10:30 and Hans is waiting for us. I can't wait, those strong hands, the kneading, the rubbing, oh wake up Rory we have to get going."
"Okay, give us 45 minutes."
"You better not take any longer or I'm coming to get you."
"Okay, now go."
"Logan, wake up."
"No."
"Come on, wake up, we have to get ready and go."
"No."
"Fine, I'm going to take a shower. You decide what you want to do."
Logan knew what he wanted to do, so he dragged his butt out of bed and joined Rory in the shower. With a few minutes to spare they showed up in the kitchen.
"It's about time, I was just about to come up and see what was taking you so long." Lorelai said with a wink.
"We're here, let's go."
Rory grabbed her mom's hand and they headed out to Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa.
Logan was left with Chris, Spencer and Grant. He suddenly felt like he was in trouble.
"Logan, you look a little nervous; don't be we won't harass you…much."
The golf game was not bad at all. After the initial interrogation everyone relaxed and played the round. Logan made sure he didn't play his best, he didn't want to show up Chris.
"Nice game Logan, but I hope the next time we play you don't hold back." Logan gave a questioning look. "Don't play dumb. I figured it out when you missed the putt on the third hole."
"Sorry."
"Don't' worry about it. It's was nice to play a round with someone besides those two."
"What wrong with playing with us."
"Could it be that you too have more fun chasing each other in the carts than actually playing the came." He said sarcastically. "Come on we have to get back before your mom has a fit, you know how she is about starting the movies on time."
"Remember the time she wouldn't talk to you for a week because you were on a business call during the first movie." Spencer added
"How could I forget, that missed movie cost me more that what I made in the deal." He turned to Logan to explain "Lorelai was mad and said the only way she would forgive me was if I bought her another Inn to add to her company."
"It sounds like Lorelai can really hold a grudge."
"Logan, dear boy, it's not only Lorelai. All Gilmore Girls can hold a grudge."
"Good to know."
That night they all congregated in the screening room. Everyone was seated and ready for the movies to begin.
As usual they mocked the movies they had seen before and studied the movies they didn't. Logan really enjoyed his time with her family. He had met them before but spending time with them he realized what his family was missing, the fun. The Hayden's tried to have fun whenever they were together. They we close; even Spencer and Grant enjoyed spending time with their parents.
As some point during the third movie Rory had fallen asleep with her head in his lap. He didn't want to wake her so he lifted her brought her to her room and laid her on the bed. She looked so peaceful and innocent, but both of those descriptions are not ones he would use on her. She was far from innocent as for peaceful he thought she was but sometimes he would see the fire in her eyes. He wanted her to be comfortable so he undressed her. He had seen her nude many times in the last few weeks but it didn't stop him from admiring her every time. He put her in his a shirt, which ended up being a shirt he left at her place last week, and got ready himself. He slid into the bed next to her, she mumbled "Hold me." He didn't want to disappoint so he did as told. He held her that night and slept so well.
After brunch with her parents and brothers they were heading to NY for the night. Logan had to work in the morning while Rory and Steph had to be in for their final dress fittings.
The alarm went off and Logan got up to get ready for work. He was pouring himself some coffee when he felt her arms wrap around him.
"Mmmmmm… smells good is that for me?"
Before he had a chance to respond she was drinking from his mug.
"When I left the bedroom you were dead to the world."
"But the coffee gods made sure I was awake for this." She looked at him and soon her sparkling eyes clouded over.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Come on Ace, one second your being glib than the next you spaced out."
"Really, it's nothing."
"Ace, were friends you know you can tell me anything."
"It's just, I'm leaving."
"We still have two weeks…." After he said this it dawned on him that they didn't have two weeks left. This week they would both be busy with work and the wedding, the weekend was the bachelor party for Colin in Vegas and than back to work for a few days before the wedding, and than she would be gone.
She now saw his eyes cloud over. "Yeah, exactly." Without saying anything they both knew what the other was thinking.
"Maybe we'll see each other in Vegas." He said with hope
"You know the point of going is to have a bachelor, or in Steph's case a bachelorette party. Besides the strip is so large what are the chances."
When he left it was bittersweet, he held her and kissed her but they knew that they would only have a couple more mornings like this. Saying good-bye was going to be tougher than she originally planned.
