AN: Sorry guys, for taking so long to post a new chapter. I'm just starting my masters and was overwhelmed with everything I had to get done. I'll be better haha! :)

Thank you so much for your kind comments & all of you that read the story. I decided to make this chapter longer, because indeed I think that would add to the story. Please do keep reviewing as I love to know what you think, even if you're not happy with the story or my writing.

Chapter 4

'Hi,' Rory said, still a little insecure on how to behave. 'Hi,' he responded. 'Were you leaving?' Rory asked. 'No, no, the doorman, Tom, called earlier to let me know you were stuck in the elevator. I tried calling your cell, but you didn't answer, so I asked Tom to keep me updated. Right after he called me, I went to see if you were alright, and well, here we are.' Rory relaxed a little. He didn't seem mad when he had talked and thus, she said: 'I need to talk to you, can we go inside?' Both of them entered the apartment, closing the door after them.

The apartment looked exactly the same as it did when she left a week ago. Usually there are dishes in the sink and clothes laying around everywhere, but right now the apartment was spotless. Little did Rory know that Logan had felt so restless when he got home, he decided to clean. At first he sat on the couch for a while, but he could not sit still, he kept thinking about what happened. Before he knew it, he was collecting all the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher. He had even thought of running a load of laundry, if he had known how to separate the different loads. Usually Rory or Margaret, the cleaning lady, would do that, so he was a little lost and decided to just throw all the clothes in the hamper and ask Margaret how that works. It simply was impossible to be a successful businessman and not know how to separate laundry, but those were worries for another time.

Rory sighed and started 'I am so sorry for the way I acted before. You just took me by surprise. It happened so fast and it overwhelmed me.' Logan shook his head 'Rory, please don't apologize. I was so excited, and I wanted all your family and friends there so we could share this moment. I did not realize how you would feel. I am the one who is sorry.' 'By the way,' he continued, 'just to be open and honest. I talked to your mom. When I called your cell, she answered. She told me that she expected me to be with you, but no worries. I explained to her that you were stuck in an elevator and I had no clue how long it would take. So naturally you will have to call her within the next 10 minutes, or she will hijack someone's car and drive over here to check on you.' Rory laughed. That sounded like her mom. Lorelai was always so protective, even though Rory had shown numerous times that she can take care of herself. 'Can I borrow your phone to call her? Just to get it over with. I really don't want her showing up' Rory asked. Logan handed her the phone and Rory dialed her moms number. She expected it to be in the contacts list, but she knew it by heart and just dialing it was faster. The phone rang several times before she heard the well-known voicemail of her mom: 'Hi, this is Lorelai. Please don't leave a message. If you want to give me food or love, call me back later. Bye!'. Rory decided to leave a message anyway as she did not feel like calling her back at a later moment, whilst she felt Logans eyes burning a hole in her back. 'Hi mom, it's me. Logan just told me you guys spoke about me being stuck in an elevator. Well I'm free now, so don't worry. Love you. Talk to you soon.' and with that Rory ended the call. As their hands touched while handing back the phone, Rory felt an electric wave through her hand. In a reaction she pulled back her hand really fast, looking sheepishly at Logan. 'Sorry,' she said, while reaching for the phone she dropped. He bended over at the same time and their heads bumped. 'Sorry,' she said again. He laughed and answered: 'How is it possible that we are out of sync this fast? We usually anticipate to each other so well.' Rory didn't answer but stared at her feet. 'Logan,' she started, 'I came here to talk to you about what happened tonight. I am so sorry. I felt so overwhelmed.' Logan interrupted her: 'Rory, stop. You already apologized. Even though there is nothing you have to apologize for. I love you.'

When Tom had called to tell him about the elevator, he went out into the hallway to check if there was any way he could assist. He was walking by the elevator, on his way to the stairs, as he heard a voice from behind the elevator doors. He immediately recognized that voice. He would recognize that voice from anywhere. It was his Rory. Oh well, not his anymore. She was talking about what happened tonight. She was rambling. His heart sunk as he thought of the events of tonight. He wanted to share the joy of their engagement with her family. Her family was so important to Rory, that he had thought she would want them there. Oh boy, was he wrong. He did not see the freak out coming. On his way home though, after going over and over the events, he thought himself a fool. Of course, she would react this way. How could he not have seen this coming? Then he heard Rory say, from behind those elevator doors, that she loved him, Logan. He could not prevent his heart to start beating faster and feel the warmth spreading through his body. How could he ever have doubted her? He still wished things had gone differently tonight, but he also knew that he was going to fight for this girl. He loved her, and she loved him. They would work this out and he did not care if that was as husband and wife or as boyfriend and girlfriend as long as they were together. He would do anything for her.

How much he had changed since the day they met. Thinking of that event at the coffee cart and in the hallway the day after. He knew right then and there that she had spunk. The way she mouthed back at him instead of falling at his feet as every other girl at Yale. He knew he wanted her. Little did he know that he would end up going steady for this girl and loving her the way he did. He did not even know what love was before meeting her. How far he had come from that playboy to this man, ready to be a loving husband.

Rory steps forward putting her hand over his mouth. Hearing him say he still loved her, gave her the confidence she needed. She reaches into her coat pocket and pulls out the receipt. 'Logan, I need you to not interrupt me while I speak. Can you do that?' Rory asks. Logan nods his head. 'Logan,' she says, 'I wrote this while stuck in the elevator. The entire way over here I was thinking about how I was going to say this to you and then it hit me.'

At that moment Rory was interrupted by Finn and Colin throwing open the door. 'What an odd building you live in, boy.' Finn said. Colin explained by saying: 'Someone left their purse, and what appears all their belongings in the elevator. It is a mess.' Both stopped talking and looked at the two people standing in front of them. 'Oh dear,' Finn said, 'I think we have walked into some sort of private conversation. Please do fill me in. I feel left out.' Both Rory and Logan looked at them, then at each other. Logan walks towards the boys, putting an hand on both their shoulders, pushing them out the door, while saying: 'Will you boys collect those things in the elevator for me? I dropped my purse, I guess. Thanks.' He throws the door shut in their faces.

'Please Rory, just tell me know if you are going to dump my sorry ass' Logan says. Rory hands Logan the receipt. It is a pro-conlist. On top is written: 'Should I still marry Rory?'. Both columns are filled to the brim. 'I know you are probably very mad with me for embarrassing you like this, and I truly hope you can forgive you. I know your parents think I am not good enough and hope you will marry someone better, but I can promise you I will love you forever and will take care of you no matter what.' Logan turns his back and starts walking towards the door without answering Rory. Rory's courage sunk through the bottom. Was she too late? Was he too mad? Where there too many items on the con list? She had just wanted to give him an honest list and there was no stopping her when she started writing. Logan reached the door, reached into his coat pocket and took out this small square box. He turned around again and came walking back. Rory had not seen what Logan had done and was very confused by his response. When Logan was standing in front of Rory, he sunk to one knee and said again: 'Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, will you marry me?' He popped open the box and a beautiful ring with a large oval diamond showed. Rory pulled Logan up to his feet while squealing 'Yes, of course, yes!' As soon as Logan got up to his feet Rory jumped in his arms and started kissing him, her legs wrapped around him.

While Logan and Rory were still making out, Colin and Finn came walking back in, holding Rory's purse in front of them. 'Kind sir, here is your purse like you requested,' Finn said. 'This lady really has nothing interesting with her. Every woman should have a picture of herself in her bag, so we know whether she is hot. How do we now know whether we want to return the purse? I am not interested in wasting my time,' Colin adds, still oblivious to the position Logan and Rory are in. 'Hand it over, boys,' Logan says. 'Thank you for retrieving my stuff guys,' Rory says, still in the same position. 'Love, is this yours? Do I now get one of those lovely kisses as a thank you?' Finn says. Rory winks at Logan while answering: 'Well, why not my dear Finn.' Finn starts walking towards Rory. It is so like Finn to take it seriously, even though he very well knows it was a joke. Collin grabs the back of Finns shirt and says: 'Don't you see they were busy. It looks like we're interrupting.' He winks at the couple. Rory tries to free herself of Logan's grip, but he holds her still against him own body. 'I never let you go, Rory Gilmore,' he whispers in her ear. While shifting her to his left hip, he shows her the box he was still holding in his hands. 'I think it is time that I put this ring on your finger, so all the boys know you are taken,' he says while looking at Finn and Colin for the last part. He puts her down softly and opens the box. Completely ignoring Finn and Colin, Logan takes the ring out of the box and with his other hand he reaches for Rory's hand. She puts her hand in his hand and he puts the ring on her finger. It slides on there like it was made especially for her. This is of course true, but Logan wasn't entirely sure the size would be right. He took Lorelai ring shopping, as Lorelai knows Rory's taste so well and as a plus, they have the same ring size. She picked a beautiful ring in the store, but Logan just felt like it was not perfect. So, he contacted the designer and asked her to make a ring just for Rory.

Rory looked at her hand, now heavy from the big stone on her finger. This diamond was huge. She didn't have to ask to know this was no fake one. It was beautiful. A small platinum band with a big oval diamond that makes her finger look long and small. It fits her beautifully. Logan sights as a relieve. 'I'm so glad it fits. What do you think?', he asks. 'It is so beautiful, Logan. Thank you so much.' Rory throws her arms around Logans neck and kisses him as a thank you.

Finn and Colin come walking over to congratulate the both of them. 'We knew this was coming, but really Logan, did you have to do this today? We are not in town every day and wanted to take you out, but I guess you won't celebrate with us,' Colin says. 'No boys, tonight I'm celebrating with Rory, tomorrow I'll celebrate with you guys and I guess we'll celebrate on Sunday with Mitchum,' Logan answers. 'Oh love,' Finn jokes while bearhugging Rory, 'you are quite stunning, especially tonight. Are you sure you do not want to reconsider? May it be clear I'm the better prospect here. I'm much more loaded then Huntzberger.' Rory laughs and answers: 'Well, now you mention it, but you have to take it up with Logan.' While freeing her of Finns arms around her. Logan walks over to Rory and wraps his arms around her from behind. 'Sorry Finn, I won't take this deal. Time for you to go now.' Logan again shoves the boys out the door.
