And thank you with the help on CMM's eyes. His eyes are so small that it's hard to see on pics. Lol. Anyway, thanks for the help ;)

Oh, and finnlover, the 'I want to hug you, kiss you…'-line is from Miss Congeniality. I used to love that movie! Still do actually. And lala, I was actually kind of amazed when I read your idea, 'cause that was what I had planned too. Great minds think alike, huh? Lol.

One last thing and I'll stop rambling! I probably won't update as fast as usually 'cause I just started school. I'm in a whole new class at a different and much harder school, where I know no one! So I'll probably be a little stressed. If not very. Lol. I know that to some of you that probably sounds like nothing, but I've had the same friends and has gone to the same school for 10 years, so it's a big change for me. Anyway, I'll try to update as fast as I can.

Chapter 11: The secret

Rory Gilmore had always been a very patience girl, except when it came to coffee, of course, but otherwise. She had always been willing to wait and never pushed anyone. Her patience was huge.

That was until today.

Since her and Logan had parted, she had wanted to talk to him or at least have some time to think about what it meant. But her two talkative friends made it impossible to even think. It was amazing how many stupid topics a person could think of. But somehow, when Finn and Steph were involved, she wasn't really surprised.

"No, they didn't work together. There was nothing there, no sexual tension. Nothing beyond friendship," Steph said in a firm voice. "She totally belongs with the young Scottie."

"You have lost your bloody mind!" Finn said as he shook his head disappointed. "Of course there is something there. They had been friends since forever. They bond is so thick. How could they not be in love?"

"So what? I have known Logan since we were babies, are you saying I belong with him?" The blonde raised an eyebrow and looked at Finn.

At Logan's name, Rory eyed the blonde with narrowed eyes, but said nothing.

"No, but that is different. Logan's best friend is in love with you!"

"And Lucas' brother is in love with her! Same thing!" Steph reminded him as she pointed her finger at him. "And Colin does not love me!"

"I never said Colin," the Australian pointed out with a grin.

Steph rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "Whatever."

"Besides, he was a total jerk. And then suddenly he changed? That it crap, darling. That can not happen. You have been a womanizing cheating dick your whole life and have always hated your 'brother'. But then you meet this chick and bam! You are suddenly Mr Perfect?" Finn shook his head sadly. "Bullshit!"

"That can so happen!" Steph protested. "Maybe he was always a sweet guy, he just hid it. After all, he did ask her to marry him."

"To mess with his bloody brother!"

"No, because he loved her and she loved him. They are meant to be together. Always and forever."

"That nail-polish is going to your brain, honey," he said in a sickly sweet voice. "Better stop using it!"

Steph shook her head and grabbed Finn's hand, holding it up to his eyes. "You use nail-polish!" she said as she looked at his black nails.

"And yet I'm still intelligent!"

Steph let out a snort. "You keep telling yourself that, hon." She shook her head and then turned to Rory. "Who do you think Haley belongs with? Lucas or Nathan?"

Rory sighed and shook her head. "First off," she began. "You need to stop watching 'One Tree Hill'." She gave both of them a look.

"Whatever." Steph's voice clearly said that she wanted an answer now. "Who?"

"Neither," Rory finally said. "Just the fact that she was willing to marry Nathan says that Haley doesn't have feelings for Lucas."

"Ha!" Steph said and gave Finn a wicked smile.

"And then fact that she picked music over Nathan says that they aren't meant to be together."

It was Finn's turn to smile.

"Then who does she belong with?" Steph asked and raised an eyebrow.

"Chris Keller." Her smile grew as she thought of the music king. "Dude, when a guy can play guitar, he is amazing. When a guy can play guitar and sing, he is hot!"

"Drop and roll baby, 'cause you're on fire!"

Rory and Steph both gave Finn a weird look.

"What?" he asked confused before looking at Rory. "You know," he began as he gave her a flirtatious crocked smile. "I actually sing-"

"-very badly," the blonde interrupted, causing Finn to sent her an angry look. "What? I was telling the truth? Seriously. I've heard him sing his version of 'I Will Always Love You' and I'm telling you, I'm scarred for life."

Rory rolled her eyes as she saw the Australian pout cutely. "You know Finn, to get a girl you have to come up with some better pick up lines," she said with a serious face as she nodded her head slowly.

"What are you talking about? I have excellent pick up lines! And I get girls. I'll have you know that in the last week I've been with-"

"-Too much information!" Steph cut him off as she covered her ears with her hands.

"Be original."

"Is that what your new boyfriend is?" Finn asked smirking as he raised his eyebrows. "Let me guess, he is a singer and he can play guitar."

"Wrong-"

"-Piano!"

"No-"

"-Bass!"

"Finn-"

"-A whistle!"

"What-"

"-Tambourine!"

"Shut up Finn!" Rory half-screamed, but calmed herself down. "I don't have a boyfriend, I thought we already established that. Just go back to discussing whether or not Ashley Simpson looks better with black or blonde hair."

"Blonde!"

"Black!" Finn yelled, then paused. "No wait, neither! Redhead!"

"Pink!"

"Redhead with black stripes!"

Rory rolled her eyes at her crazy friends as she stood up from the floor where she and her friends were seated. "Okay, all your crazy talk is making me hungry, so I'm going out. Come with me or stay behind and be killed by Paris, whatever."

"Isn't that girl your friend?" Finn asked a little confused.

"She is and I love her very much, but that doesn't mean that she isn't crazy," she explained while she headed for the door, grabbing her jacket on the way. "Coming or not?"

Both of her friends shrugged and got up and followed her out the door.

-----

"Seriously, how can you eat like that?"

Rory looked down at her plate, that was almost empty. "What are you talking about?" she asked, her mouth stuffed with food, but she didn't seem to care.

"Love, you just ate four pieces of cake!" Finn said in an amazed voice.

The brunette swallowed and jerked her shoulder indifferently. "What? It's really good."

"How is it possible to eat like you do and still be so thin?" Steph asked a little jealous.

"It's a miracle!"

Rory grinned. "You haven't seen nothing yet! Compared to my mother, I am nothing."

"That Lorelai Gilmore sounds like an incredible woman," Finn said with a smile.

"She's cool. Just don't tell her that, she already thinks she's God's gift to men. She's insane!" Rory shook her head and took a sip of her coffee. "We all know I'm God's gift to men!"

"And to think my little sister once were an innocent modest little girl."

All three turned around and saw Jason and Logan standing behind them. Jason with arms crossed and a cocky smile on his face, and Logan unbelievable quiet, his hands borrowed deep in his pockets and a cautious smile on his face. Rory let her eyes stay a little longer on Logan than necessary, excited at seeing him, but really wishing it was without her brother and friends.

After a few seconds she turned to her brother again. "That was before I realized how hot I really am," she joked to him.

Jason shook his head at his sister as he and Logan at down next to their friends. "So, what are you doing?"

Rory raised her eyebrow amused. "Well, believe it or not, we are eating. I know, I know, what a strange thing to do at a café, but the waitress came over and asked if I wanted something and I thought: 'Why the hell not take a chance?' And then I ordered not only cake, but coffee too. I went a little crazy, I know."

All four of her friends looked at her with wide eyes. After a few seconds, Jason turned to Steph and Finn and raised an eyebrow.

"We watched Rory as she stuffed her face with food," Steph simply told him.

"Ah…" Jason said as he nodded his head slowly and shot his sister a look.

She simply glared back. "Well, is there a reason why you came here and ruined the nice mood or did you simply do it out of cruelty?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Actually, there is." Jason paused. "Though I do enjoy messing with you," he continued smirking.

Rory lifted the last of her cake in the air as if getting ready to throw it at him, but suddenly she shook her head. "Nah, would be a waste of great food," she said as she instead ate it.

"My sister, the princess of food!"

"Why only princess?" Logan asked, speaking for the first time. Something that had not gone unnoticed by Rory.

The siblings turned to him with wide eyes.

"Dude, my mom is the queen of food-"

"-Which makes me the princess and Jase the prince."

Logan rolled his eyes playfully. "Of course."

Jason opened his mouth to reply but immediately closed it when he noticed a tall strange guy walk by, his eyes trained on his sister. The guy licked his lips seductively and winked at Rory before walking away. The rest of the group saw the guy too, and on impulse Logan narrowed his eyes at the guy, his eyes burning holes in the guy's back.

"What a creep!" Jason said as he glared at the guy walking away. "Looking at my sister like that! I'll beat his ass. Nobody touches my sister."

Rory and Logan shared a look, both suddenly feeling guilty.

"Oh, he's just a normal teenage," Rory said dismissively as she waved her hand in the air. "And he didn't actually touch me," she pointed out.

"Whatever," Jason mumbled.

"So, you came here for a reason, right? What's up Jase?" She mentally patted her shoulder for her discreet change of topic.

"Right. Mom just called me so we talked-"

"-You talked?" Rory asked in mock shock as her hands covered her mouth.

Jason rolled his eyes. "Yes. She was very excited about the whole snow thing and since someone wasn't answering her phone or cell, she called me."

"Oh yeah," she said. She knew her mother always called when it had snowed and they would talk for an hour just about the magic of snow. "I turned my cell off."

"Don't do it again," Jason warned. "She's all freaky and excited when it snows. It's creepy."

Rory shook her head at her brother, a small smile on her face.

"Anyway, I have talked to mom and we began talking about Gilmore's addition to movies. I told her there was no such thing, just look at you; you haven't seen one movie since you got here."

"Not a smart move," Rory said with a shake of her head.

"I know, so I tried to make it right again by saying that you actually saw Casablanca when you first got here, but apparently that doesn't count, since you didn't see that from the start." He paused and rolled his eyes. "So mom made me promise that we as in you, me and whoever would like to be there, will have a movie-night tonight."

"But it's a Saturday, I thought Saturday was for partying," Rory pointed out teasingly.

"Don't blame me for my friends' words!" Jason protested as he glared at Logan.

"Fine," the brunette said and sighed playfully. "So movie-night with everything?"

"Yes."

"Popcorn, chips and all the candy in the world?"

"Sure."

"Pizza, burgers and lots of junk food?" The brunette raised an eyebrow.

"Yes…."

"Coffee, soda and disgusting milkshakes? And maybe for Finn's sake, alcohol?"

"Thank you love," Finn said as he sent her a wink.

"Yeah," Jason said and nodded his head while rolling his eyes.

"And I get to pick the movies?"

Jason hesitated but nodded his head. "All right."

"And you have no say in it at all?"

"Rory-"

"I'll tell mom you have been keeping me from watching movies! She'll be furious; it's in the Gilmore handbook! Watch at least four movies per week!"

"You little-"

"-I'm calling her," Rory threatened as she took out her cell.

"All right! All right!"

Rory put her cell back in her pocket before clapping her hands excitedly and smiling in victory. "Yay! Love-stories! You, me and Rosemary is picking the movies!" she said as she pointed to Steph. The blonde nodded her head eagerly and clapped her hands too.

"Not Steph!" Finn whined. "Please, not Steph."

"She's going to make us watch 'Brokeback Mountain'," Logan said with a nod of his head.

"I don't want to see guys kissing! I don't want to see a gay movie!"

Rory let out a low giggle as her eyes fell on Finn. Nail-polish on his nails, a colourful tight-fitting shirt with some sort of flower pattern and low-riding jeans. She shook her head grinning.

Steph narrowed her eyes at the Australian. "Don't even bother, Heath Ledger is in that movie. There is no way in hell that I'm not watching it!"

"He's not that great," Finn disagreed.

"That Australian could beat your Australian ass!"

Finn moved his hand to his mouth in mock shock. "Does that in any way mean that he's stronger and, dare I say, hotter? Because that is a lie!"

Jason, Rory and Logan looked at each other as Finn and Steph continued to argue about Heath Ledger.

"So you don't believe that I'm hotter than Heath?" Finn asked in a hurt voice but Steph only jerked her shoulder. "Well then, I'll prove it to you." Without any warning he got up from his chair and began unbuttoning his shirt.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Jason said in panic and stood up too. "No, you don't."

Finn glared him but buttoned his shirt again. "Fine," he said in a mockingly angry voice. "But I am not watching 'Broke back Mountain'!"

"Yes you are!"

"No!"

"Yes!" Steph echoed, then narrowed eyes. "Just watch and see," she said as she ran off in the direction of the nearest movie-store.

Finn let out a groan but quickly followed her, leaving Jason, Rory and Logan all by themselves.

Jason raised his eyebrow at the two.

"I'm not going after them, I watched Finn at the party," Logan immediately said.

Jason moved his eyes to his sister who shook her head quickly. "Oh no, I spend the day with both of them. I had to hear them argue about whether or not Winnie the Pooh is cuter than Piglet. I'm out."

"Ow!"

They turned around to see Finn lying on the ground covered in snow and Steph standing over him laughing like an idiot. Finn glared at her and grabbed her legs, bringing her down to him while she let out a girly scream.

Jason let his head drop to the table as he let out a groan before looking up again. "Fine," he mumbled in surrender, but shot both of them a look, before getting up and running after their crazy friends.

"So," Rory said and let out a nervous laugh. "Some lunatic friends you have," she said playfully to Logan.

"They are yours too now," he reminded her with a smile.

"Yeah." She nodded her head slowly. "So have they always been like that?"

"Steph has always been weird and preppy and annoying," he said with a small laugh. "And then meeting Finn in high school certainly didn't help."

"I can imagine," she said quietly before looking up at him. "So, um, sorry about not calling you or something, um, but Steph and Finn came by and-"

"-It's okay," Logan cut her off.

"Oh, okay." A silence fell over the table. "So, how have you been?" she asked.

"Since this morning? Fine."

"Good," she said and nodded her head. "Me too."

"Great," he agreed. "So, um…"

"Yeah…"

Once again neither said anything before Logan let out a sight.

"Oh, fuck it. Are we going to talk about what happened?" he asked in a frustrated voice. "You know, this shouldn't be embarrassing. We weren't embarrassed last might."

"We definitely weren't embarrassed," Rory said with a smirk.

"So, can I ask you something?" Logan asked her.

"You just did," she pointed out, causing Logan to roll his eyes playfully. "Okay, shoot."

"Why did you take off? This morning, why did you take off?" he asked in a quiet voice.

Rory's eyes dropped to the table and she jerked her shoulders unsure. "I don't know," she said sincerely. "I were kind of shocked and freaked and I wasn't sure what this-" she said and waved her hand between them "-meant. Means."

Logan nodded his head slowly. "Me neither."

"It's just… Jason and everything," she began hesitating. "I mean, he will be so mad and disappointed and I don't want to do that to him. I probably should have thought of that yesterday, well scratch 'probably', I should, but I just…"

"It's okay," Logan said for the second time that day, and for the second time not really meaning it. "You're right, he would probably freak."

"He would." Rory paused and finally looked him in the eye. "But I really like you."

"Yeah? I really like you too," the blonde answered truthfully.

A smile played on Rory's lips. "And I really liked last night."

"Me too," Logan said with a grin as he thought of yesterday night.

Rory leaned a little closer, her elbow resting on the table and her head resting in her hand. "You know, maybe Jason wouldn't mind," she said suddenly, her eyes focused on his lips.

"Maybe," Logan agreed and also moved closer. "Or maybe he would." But still he leaned even closer and his brown eyes fell on her soft lips.

They stayed like that for a moment, not sure what to do or if even to do anything, when something Steph said days ago suddenly entered Rory's mind.

"Maybe we just shouldn't tell him."

At her suggestion Logan's eyes snapped up to hers and he looked slightly shocked. She quickly began explaining.

"I mean, we could, but why really? I don't know every girl he has been with and besides, we are just having fun. Nothing serious, just two kids having fun… Right?"

Logan simply stared for a few seconds before nodded his head slowly. "Right. So, we just do tell anyone and just keep on having fun?"

"Our little secret," Rory said with a nod of her head.

"What secret?"

Both of them jump slightly at the new and unexpected voice and turn to the dark-haired guy.

Oh, shit.
