Alive
Rory awoke the next morning when she heard a loud thump outside her room followed by several people arguing. She slowly rolled out of bed and made her way to her door only to open it to find Robert, Finn, and Juliet.
"I'm cutting you off Finn!" Juliet exclaimed
"What? No, you cannot do that! No I will not allow it!" Finn argued
"Nobody drinks at 10:30 in the morning!" Robert yelled
"I do!" Finn yelled back.
Upon noticing Rory's presence Juliet smiled "Tell him it's not normal to drink this early in the day"
"You're nuts! All of you!" Rory said before shutting her door and heading back into her room. She walked over and sat on her bed as memories of the previous night quickly filled her head, Logan's hand on her thigh in the hot tub, Logan's hands around her waist tickling her, Logan's lips on hers. Oh god what did this mean? Did he expect something from her? Were they still friends? Were they more then friends? Her thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" Thankfully the door opened to reveal Rosemary, she was not quite ready to deal with Logan.
"Hey, Juliet said you were up"
"Yeah, I heard her, Finn and Robert arguing outside my door"
Rosemary laughed, "I figured you heard that, so anyway we are eating breakfast in 10 minutes before jumping in the pool"
"Give me 5 minutes"
Rosemary nodded and headed out the door as Rory flipped her suitcase open and searched for her red bikini and a pair of shorts. A few moments later, she came out of the bathroom and slowly made her way down the spiral staircase towards the kitchen where she heard her friends talking.
Noticing her arrival to the kitchen, Finn quickly pushed Robert off the stool next to him and motioned for her to sit "Rory, love come sit by Finn"
Rory laughed "Of course Finn"
Finn turned to Robert "That's what you get for taking my vodka away earlier"
Robert shook his head "It was 10:30!"
Rory jumped when she heard Logan speak, he was coming in from outside. Probably checking the temperature of the pool "It only 10:43 now, really Finn how many times do we need to tell you about drinking before 6"
Finn did not say anything he simply frowned.
Colin rolled his eyes "Anyway, Rory what do you want?" he asked pointing to the various foods on the kitchen counter; there were pop tarts, pancakes, cereal, toast, bangles and muffins. She studied the food for a few seconds before speaking
"2 pop tarts, 1 muffin and 2 slices of toast please"
"That it?" Colin grinned
"And lots of coffee!" she exclaimed
"Logan how's the pool temperature?" Rosemary asked
"Its good, we can get in"
"Did you put up the volleyball net?"
"Yeah" Logan said as he took a bite out of his pancakes
"Volleyball?" Rory squeaked
"Yes, we play it in the pool every time we come here" Juliet stated
"I don't do sports; actually I don't do any physical activity. It's against the Gilmore code"
"Come on Rory, you have to play if you don't the teams will be uneven" Colin complained
"No they wont, there are 7 of us. Therefore, if I do not play the teams can be even. I can sit and watch. Don't try to convince me, it's not going to happen."
Rosemary, Colin and Finn opened there mouths to speak but Logan beat them all to it "If she doesn't want to play, she don't have to. You can't expect the girl to break the Gilmore code now that's just unacceptable," he said with a smile
They all sighed in defeat and got up to make their way to the pool when Rory quickly spoke up "Hey, just because I am not playing you could at least wait for me to finish my food so I don't have to eat alone!"
Everyone shrugged and Finn spoke "Come on, bring your food and eat by the pool".
Rory nodded her head and grabbed her plate and cup of coffee while proceeding to follow the others out the doors.
Once outside everyone jumped in the pool while Rory took a seat in one of the lawn chairs.
"Rory, Come and sit in one of the chairs closer to the pool" Juliet said
"And risk getting my food wet? No way! Ill come closer when I'm done eating" Rory replied
"Rory love, pick teams," Finn said
"Why can't you guys do it?" She questioned
"You're not playing, it's only fair"
She studied her friends for a moment before she spoke. "How about Logan, Robert, and Juliet on one team. Finn, Colin, and Rosemary on the other"
Finn grinned "Perfect, now I can get my revenge for those 2 taking away my early morning Vodka!"
………………..
20 minutes later, Rory had finished her food and was now sitting close enough to the pool to dangle her feet in. She was watching Logan. She could not help but stare at Logan's body. He has a great body, it was perfectly toned. She assumed it was from all the time he spent playing tennis, or playing basketball with Finn, or going to the gym. Then there was his tan, it was not over the top and just like the rest of his body, it was perfect. Oh, wow where did that thought come? She felt herself blush and quickly looked up to see if anyone was looking at her, thankfully no one was and she returned her thoughts back to Logan but instead of his appearance this time it was his actions. He had not made any comment about the kiss; he treated her just as he would any other day. Did it mean nothing to him? Did he not care? Is he just respecting the fact that I told him to keep it to himself? Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard several friends calling her name and she quickly looked up to feel the volleyball smack her in the face.
"Ouch!" She said as she fell back a little and started rubbing her face.
"Robert!" Rosemary squealed
"Well if you weren't so short, maybe you would have hit it, and I wouldn't have smacked Rory" Robert replied
Rosemary and Juliet made their way to Rory, who was now lead back on the ground laughing. Rosemary and Juliet started to laugh as well.
"You ok Rory?" Robert called out from across the pool
"I'm fine, but if that leaves a bruise I'm going to kill you!" Rory replied as she propped herself up on her elbows, noticing the four boys in the pool had started to laugh as well. After a few moments when the laughter began to die down Logan spoke up
"And you know its time to stop when Robert starts beating people with the ball"
Everyone nodded their heads and made their way to the lawn chairs.
"So how about we get showered head into New York. Grab some food at Aureole then be back here by 6 and get drunk off our asses" Colin suggested
"I'm in!" Finn quickly agreed.
"Me too" Juliet and Robert agreed as well.
"Sounds fun" Rory said sill rubbing her head.
Colin looked to Rosemary and Logan who had still yet to say anything, when they both nodded their heads Colin spoke again
"We have ourselves a plan then"
Rosemary and Juliet quickly pulled Rory out of her chair "Come on, let's go, and make ourselves pretty for those New York guys!"
……………………………………………….
Once the three girls had their showers, they were in Rosemary's room applying a little make-up.
"So Rory, Logan looked good in the pool today" Juliet said grinning
Rory's head whipped around to look at the blonde-haired person "What?"
"Logan, you know the guy you couldn't seem to keep your eyes off of while he was in the pool. I mean not that we blame you or anything Logan as a body to die for" Rosemary said wiggling her eyebrows
"I don't know what you're talking about" Rory said hoping that if she played the innocent act they would drop the subject
"Come on Rory, were not stupid, we saw you staring" Juliet smiled
"I didn't say you were stupid"
Juliet opened her mouth to speak, when there was a knock on the door and Robert poked his head in "You girls ready yet?"
"We'll be down in 2 minutes" Rosemary quickly said ushering Robert away and then turned back to Rory "We are so not done talking about this"
Rory did not say anything, and picked her purse off the bed and made her way out the door and down the stairs to where the boys were waiting.
