Alive.
"Which one?" Rory asked, holding two denim skirts up to show Rosemary and Juliet.
"The dark one if you go with the red shirt and the light one if you go with black shit," Rosemary said as Juliet nodded her head in approval
"So where are you guys going?" Juliet asked as she began to dig through Rory's makeup bag
"He wanted to do the dinner and movie thing, but I'm not a big fan of the dinner thing so were going to a movie and then maybe stop by the pub later" Rory said taking one last glace at her choices of clothing for the night before deciding on the dark denim mini skirt and a simple v-neck t-shirt. She held it up for the girl's approval before going to the bathroom to change. When she returned a few minutes later, the Juliet was ready to apply her makeup and Rosemary was ready to do her hair.
"What shoes are you wearing?" Rosemary asked
"Those" Rory said pointing to the black strappy sandals by her door, before sitting down to let the girls make her 'date worthy' as Juliet had previously called her. "Not to much makeup" she said as she Juliet stepped in front of her to begin.
"So what do you want done with your hair?" Rosemary asked
"Something simple, maybe just a few curls at the end" Rory said", what do you think?"
"That sounds good, now close your eyes" Juliet directed as she applied some mascara, a tiny bit of eyeliner and eye shadow to Rory's eyes. "Ok. Open" she directed again as she applied some foundation to her face before applying a light layer of blush. "There all done" she said smiling at her work before moving out of the way to let Rosemary curl her hair.
20 minutes later Rory was pacing the common room floor.
"Stop biting your nails" Juliet demanded
"I'm nervous," she said quietly
"Well don't be. You are gorgeous and he is already your boyfriend. You just have not been out on your first date yet. Everything will be fine," Rosemary said in attempt to calm her nerves.
"Exactly, you look gorgeous. He won't be able to keep his hands off of you," Juliet added
"Oh speaking of Logan not keeping his hands off of you, are you going to tell him about your Mary status" Rosemary asked amusement in her eyes
"Yes, I mean I kind of have to. Its not something I can keep from him. The sooner the better right? Like ripping off a band aide," she said looking to the girls for comfirmation.
Both girls nodded but seeing Rory did not look any less relieved Rosemary tried to calm her nerves again "Don't worry about it, really. Its going to be fine-" there was a knock at the door. "And I bet that's him, Go let him in" she said looking towards the door.
Rory quickly made her way to the door and opened it to reveal Logan, dressed in jeans, a tight fitting shirt, and his usual leather jacket. He gave her his usual smirk as his eyes skimmed her body and gave her a wink when his eyes returned to hers and saw she was blushing. "Hey" he said leaning down for a quick kiss, "You look beautiful"
She blushed again. "Thanks. Not so bad yourself" she said before moving out of the way to let him in and shut the door. "I just need to grab my jacket and purse. I'll only be a second"
She turned the corner and noticed Juliet and Rosemary leaning over the couch with grins on their faces "You two are so cute"
Rory shook her head as she picked up her two items "You two are so immature"
"Logan?" Rosemary called out
"Yeah" He answered back but did not move any further into the dorm to be seen by the girls
"She has a 12 O'clock curfew" Juliet called out and took another glance at Rory walking towards the door and grinned "And just because your in a dark theatre and she's wearing a short skirt, it does not mean you need to put your hand-"
"Juliet!" Rory yelled
Logan laughed and shook his head wrapping his arm around her waist "Ill keep that in mind" he called back "Come on Ace, I think its time we head out"
"Yes, its definitely time to go" Rory said as they made their way out the door, looking forward to the night ahead.
"I love that movie," Rory said as she snuggled into Logan's side as they left the theatre.
"I don't know if I loved it, but it was pretty good," Logan said as he placed a kiss on top of her head "So where to next, the pub?"
Rory was silent for a moment. The Pub was not the place to tell Logan what she wanted to tell him. It would be crowded and loud on a Friday night. They could go back to one of their dorms but there was a possibility that someone else would be home and she wanted this to be a private conversation. So she quickly thought of another place she loved, where not many people would be at this hour and it had a cozy atmosphere where she would feel comfortable. "How about Ice cream instead?"
"Ice cream it is" Logan agreed pulling her into the direction of a small cafe located next to campus.
Not 5 minutes later, they were sitting in a small booth located in the corner of the cafe. Thankfully, as if she suspected it was almost empty. She ordered a bowl of chocolate with sprinkles and caramel topping, while Logan ordered a bowl of Vanilla with chocolate topping. As soon as their ice cream was placed on the table in front of them, she decided the sooner the better
"So I have something to tell you," she stated slowly, no matter what she was nervous
"Um, ok?" he was watching her intently now; damn could he tell she was nervous?
"And I don't really know if this changes things between us" she said quickly taking a glace at Logan before going back to her ice cream
When he didn't say anything, she assumed he was waiting for her to continue, "I'm a virgin" she said quietly
"Your a virgin?" he repeated, almost asked, not sure if he heard her right
She nodded playing with the sleeves of her jacket.
"Ace, you can look at me," he said reaching across the table to stop one of her hands. When she looked up, he spoke again, "This doesn't change anything"
"It doesn't?" she asked
He shook his head "Of course not. Just because we wont be having sex in the near future doesn't mean that I don't care about you and I don't want to be with you.
Did you really think it would change anything?"
"I don't know. Its kind of a big deal. You have tons of sex and well now your not having any so I guess..." she trailed off not knowing what to say.
"It is a big deal, its obviously a decision you made at some point that your not ready to take that step. I respect that and I can handle that" Logan assured her giving her hand a light squeeze.
"Thanks" she said giving him a smile.
"What do you say we get out of here and I take you home?" he said once he noticed her empty ice cream bowl.
She nodded "Lets go"
Logan put money on the table to cover the ice cream, took her hand, and leads her out of the cafe. "So good first date?" he asked
"Very good" she said smiling, feeling much better about the fact that he knew.
"Good. So can I ask you something?"
"You just did, but you can ask another question if you'd like," she said with a small laugh
"Smartass. I don't want to make you uncomfortable, and considering how uncomfortable you were about ten minutes ago-"
She cut him off "Just ask Logan"
"Is there any reason you still are a Virgin. I mean I know you two serious relationships before."
"Um, well when I was with Dean I guess it was simply being 16 and I wasn't ready. With Jess I think I was ready but I was embarrassed," she explained in the simplest form she could. "Does that answer your question?"
"Yeah, Ace you better not get embarrassed at the thought of having sex with me though" he teased. She seemed much more comfortable with the situation then she had she originally told him. He was sure she was just nervous about his reaction.
"I'm not" she assured him, although she doubted he believed her because she was sure she was blushing
"Ill takes your word for," he said as he approached her dorm. "So I guess Ill see you tomorrow?"
"Of course" she said smiling.
"Good" he said leaning for a kiss. Breaking away a few moments later when oxygen became an issue. "Night Ace" he whispered in her ear as he stepped away and made his way towards his own dorm for the night.
She smiled and dug her key out of her purse before entering her room. It was officially the best date ever.
