Ch17 Stay with me

Rory made her way into the brunch, though she was tired she put the make-up tips Jay gave her to good use and looked like a million bucks. She was dress in a light blue sun-dress and a big smile.

He saw he the second she walked in, how couldn't he, he was staring at the door since he showed up himself. He walked over to her and handed her a mimosa. "How are you doing?"

"Good." She saw the concerned look in his face. "No, really I'm good. I thought a lot last night and seeing Chad was something I needed. I just wish I realized it sooner." She smiled.

The brunch was nice and she was happy so see Steph so happy. The smile on her face was radiating, she hoped that she would be able to smile like that one day. Everyone clapped as Steph and Colin waved good-bye as they headed for the airport.

At this point Logan pulled Rory to the side. "Ace, I know that you are leaving on Tuesday and need to spend tomorrow with your family but would you spend the rest of the day with me?" He'd been wanted to ask her that since he saw her walk in. He was staring at her waiting for a response.

"Yes." He let out his breath he didn't realize he was holding. He smiled at her, "Lets' get going, we have a lot to do and time is wasting away." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the exit.

Lorelai observed this from a distance and smiled. She knew that those two made each other happy and she was happy that Rory was happy even if it was only for a short while.

She than mentally listed the food she would need for the wallowing tomorrow night.

The rest of the day was perfect. They walked they talked, they laughed. He than took her to a little Italian restaurant that he loved. They ate their dinner and were now enjoying dessert and coffee, he was staring into her sparkling eyes. "Logan what are you doing?"

"Looking at you?"

"You've seen me plenty of times."

"Stay with me tonight." It wasn't a question. She looked into his eyes, "Let's go."

They road back to his place in silence, both lost in their own thoughts.

That night was like no other night for them. Nothing was rushed, it was sensual, it was tender, it was love. That was the first night where they came together and the first night she cried in his arms. She didn't want to cry but as they laid there holding each other she knew she slipped, she had only known him for a month but it was enough to have fallen for him and now she had to leave.

Logan thought she was crying about the events that occurred the other night with Chad, didn't know what to do so he just held her. "It's okay, everything will be okay." She didn't say anything she just stayed in the comfort of his arms. She wanted to tell him that she had fallen in love with him but she couldn't she was leaving in a day.

Sometime in the night she fell asleep and when she woke up the in the morning she was still in the comfort of his arms. She looked up at him and was met by his eyes, she wrapped her arms tighter around, she didn't want to let him go but he had to go to work and she needed her mom.

Little was said as they were preparing to go. They walked out together holding hands and waited till the car pulled up, he took he in his arms and whispered "I'll miss you." she held him tighter and whispered it back.

She pulled away from him slightly, "I'll be back for a few days in a month, so" he interrupted her, "Just give me the dates and I'll make myself available, I'll be waiting for you."

She smiled, "I'll give you a call."

That night her mother held her while she cried repeating "he said he wouldn't make me cry again."
