Five hours and forty five minutes later, Rory and Logan were busy heavily making out on the soft luscious chairs as if they had all the time in the world. They barely noticed that they had crossed the Atlantic. They only took a short break for food and drinks; the rest of the time was devoted to kissing and caressing with the timer set.
Rory groaned when she noticed her cell phone reach that annoying ring which should remind them of their limited time. She reluctantly pulled away from Logan to turn the timer off and to reset to another five minutes, but grimaced when she saw the time on her phone. She sighed and turned to face Logan.
"What's wrong?" Logan murmured as he lightly kissed her on the lips.
"We need to stop," Rory said regretfully and sighed. "We're landing in 15 minutes and I need to freshen up or Grandma will notice that I have spent 75 percent of the flight sucking face and we won't be allowed to be alone this summer at all," Rory stated in horror as she glanced at her reflection in her compact mirror. She was sweating and her hair was all over the place and her neck seemed to have a few small bite marks .
"Are you sure she'll come to that conclusion? She's pretty old fashioned and you can always tell her you got hot," Logan said as he put his hand on her knee.
"Doubtful, she knows more than we think and I don't want to take any chances," Rory said as she took her make up bag and hair brush out of her back pack. "I am going to the bathroom. You choose a movie to watch for the next quarter hour."
"Fine," Logan said grudgingly and began flipping the channels on his TV screen.
When Rory finally came back with her make up flawless and her hair in place, she was surprised at the movie on her screen. "Wow, I am surprised you chose Finding Nemo" she said and grinned.
"Do I get brownie points for that?" Logan asked with his own smirk in place and he put his arm around her shoulders as she sat down.
Rory chose to ignore him. Instead she changed the topic and leaned in against him. "So we should be in Paris around 2 pm their time" she began making plans. "I can go to the hotel were staying at and get changed. After that we can go meet up and take a walk around some of the sights," Rory spoke and her face took a dreamy expression.
"You and walking? Isn't that an anti-Gilmore thing?" Logan asked and smirked.
"I taught you well," Rory laughed. "I meant take a cab to all the sights."
Logan chuckled. "That sounds fun. How about we have dinner in the Latin Quarter at that restaurant you and your Mom mocked mercilessly tonight? They actually have really good food and we can mock people from the inside plus Emily would let you stay later if we went to a place she approved of," Logan rambled because Rory wouldn't like Logan spending too much money on her.
Rory smiled as she leaned further into him "That actually sounds great. The place sounds perfect, Logan. Just promise me, no caviar or 50 dollar wine bottle. I don't want my dinner to cost the same amount as an entire country," Rory joked but Logan could tell she was serious about this.
"Wouldn't dream of it Ace." He smirked at her-
Rory and Logan sat in silence for a few minutes watching Dorie try to speak whale. Rory wished this moment could last forever even though in less than 10 minutes they would be in the most romantic city in the world. Rory knew that despite the doubts she had had about Logan before, Logan could be a guy she would be with for a really long time. She was 100 percent sure that Logan was the guy she wanted to share herself fully and emotionally with.
"Logan?" Rory mumbled without looking at him.
"Yes Ace?" Logan said quietly.
"I think I am ready after tonight's dinner to take our relationship to the next level... I know we just got together but we have been best friends and I know I only want my first time be with you."
Logan felt his heart pounding, wondering if Rory could hear it. "You're sure? Because I'm willing to wait, you know?" Logan said looking deeper into her blue eyes.
"I know and that's what I love about you, but I am ready. I would even do it now if we weren't on a plane and it would look bad to tell people where I lost it." Rory started to giggle.
Logan chuckled. "Okay, tonight it is...after the perfect date." He smiled as Rory's eyes lit up with joy.
"It doesn't have to have roses and champagne, Logan. Paris will be enough..."
"I know Ace, but you deserve the best," Logan said as he squeezed her closer.
An hour in a half later Rory was putting her outfit together to go out with Logan in her hotel suite at the Ritz. Emily had been gracious on letting her go with him as long as she came back at eleven – and Rory had to fight for that eleven o'clock curfew, for Emily had pushed for nine.
Alone in her room Rory kept trying to fight her sleeping urges. Damn that jetlag, she cursed. But she was determined to not let it ruin her night with Logan. Then Rory noticed her phone ringing.
"Hi Mom" Rory said smiling after picking up.
"So, you're not mad anymore," Lorelai stated in disbelief. Could her plan really have worked out?
"Well, I was for about two hours on the plane. But then Logan and I got all our issues out and now he's my boyfriend." Rory smiled happily. She could not believe that so much had changed in such a short time.
"Honey, I am so happy for you. Come on, tell mommy everything," Lorelai said eagerly.
So Rory told Lorelai everything from their conversation that led to them being a couple, plans for the evening, and lastly her plans to take their relationship to the next level.
Rory started to get worried when their was nothing on the other end. "Mom, say something!" she finally urged.
After a minute Lorelai spoke, "I'm sorry, honey. It's a lot to take in and I want you to know that even though I didn't want your first time to be until your 38, I am glad that you feel this is the right moment. Just make sure to be safe."
Rory smiled at how great her mother was about everything. "Thanks Mom."
After Lorelai and Rory said goodbye Rory hung up the phone and she felt herself getting sleepier. She figured she could let herself rest for five minutes. She would get up in a minute or two, although she knew she would regret it in a few hours.
Don't worry they'll be fine, it's just I have been to Europe several times and the jet lag the first few days is the worst. Therefore, I wanted to include it in my story.
