Chapter 23

RORY POV

Tristan and I were cuddled up on the couch at his apartment when I realized something. "Hey!" I randomly said.

"What?" He asked me.

"Do you realize that our anniversary is in 2 weeks?" I said.

"Yes." he said.

"That's it? That's all you have to say?"

"What do you want me to say?" Tristan looked at me with that goofy smile that he has.

"You have something planned, don't you?" I asked him, and he shrugged. I sat up and stared at him. "I want you to say...Rory can I get you a cup of coffee?" I said laughing to myself.

Tristan shook his head. "Rory, can I get you a cup of coffee?" Tristan asked sarcastically.

"I thought you'd never ask." I said as Tristan got up off the couch and went to the kitchen. While I waited for him to come back my cell started vibrating on the coffee table. I picked it up. Steph's name was flashing across the screen. "Hey girl."

"Hey, so Logan called Colin a few minutes go." Steph said. I knew where she was going with this.

"Uh huh." I said.

"Ror, tell me you're not serious."

"About working with the devil? Yep sure am." I said. Tristan came back with my coffee and sat down beside me. I took a drink of my coffee. He nodded at the phone. I mouthed "Steph".

"Why would you do this?" Steph asked me.

"Because Steph, I'm not doing it for me." I said.

"Then why?"

"I'm doing it because Mitchum asked. You know that after his divorce from Shira when the transition of Logan taking over was happening, that Mitchum and I became friends. That's why." I told Steph. I hadn't told Tristan any of why Mitchum and I were so nice to each other.

I heard screaming in the background. "I gotta go. Colin is trying to get Lizzie in the tub and she's freaking out. Come by tomorrow."

"Sure thing Steph." I said and hung up. I turned to Tristan. "Logan called Colin and told him about me helping out at HPG. So needless to say, Steph thinks that I'm gonna be working with the Devil." I said.

"Ror, she kinda has a point." Tristan said.

"You think that I'm making a mistake?" I asked him.

"You? (I nod) Never. But I think that Logan might be trying to use this as a way to try and get back into your good graces." Tristan said.

Maybe he was right. Maybe Logan was trying to use this as a way to try and get back into my good graces. I guess that part of me knew that Logan might be trying to do this. The rest of the night Tristan and I spent the rest of the night relaxing and watching tv or at least until Savannah walked into the living and sat in the chair. "Hey pumpkin." I said.

"Hey, so I was wondering. Can I go spend the weekend with Aunt Steph? She said that teach me some new ways to do my hair." Savannah said.

Tristan was laying on the couch with his head in my lap and he had dozed off. "Not this weekend. We're having dinner with Grandpa Chris and Grandma Francine tomorrow." I tell her.

"Come on, Mom. Grandma Francine doesn't even like me." She says. "Please don't make me go."

"She likes you and your going end of discussion." I said.

Savannah gets up and goes back to her room and slams the door. Tristan jumps up. "What happened?" He asks.

"Savannah's mad. She'll get over it. Go to bed baby, your tired. I'll be in after Van's asleep." I said, and he nodded. He gets up and goes to our bedroom. I laid there on the couch and thought about the dinner that we were having with my Dad and Grandma Francine the next night. Once Savannah was asleep, I headed to bed myself.

The next morning I got up and got ready for work. When I got to the office, Logan was sitting on the couch in my office. "What are you doing in my office?" I asked.

"Waiting for you." He said.

"I'm here now. What do you want? I have a lot that I have to get done before I leave to meet my dad." I said, turning my computer on. I sat down at my desk to begin getting everything ready for the staff meeting.

"You dad's in town?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Grandma wants to see me, Tris and Savannah. Apparently, she misses us." I tell him.

Logan nodded. "Oh." Logan stood up. "I gotta get to the doctor...but I'll see you Monday." He said.

"Yeah ok." I said and watched him walk out of my office. I didn't want to see him hurt over this (or maybe deep down I did) but I didn't want to rub it in his face. He knew that I was happy with my life. I knew that he had some things that he was going through but that didn't mean that I had to feel bad about how good things were going in mine.
