AN:OH MY GOSH. Super duper shoutout to ohmss77 apparently, fanfiction is having problems with uploading documents and i tried every hour on hour last night to update for you guys and i was so frustrated because it kept saying error. So, i went to one of my favorite author's blog sites and found she had the same problem, and then i saw ohmss17's comment explaining the way to update without uploading the doc and now here i am! UPDATING! haha I'm so happy you have no idea. Ok done rambling
Thanks again for all of your supportive and uplifting comments, and from the looks of it you all don't mind me adding more M content and I will, but not in this chapter! This chapter is a little boring, I had to get Rory talking with Lorelai out of the way, so that you can still see they're close, I'm not good witht heir banter so I'm sorry. One with chapter!
Rory stepped into her foyer and screamed out for her mother, it had been a while since they had one of their Mother-Daughter talks. "WOMAN I CAME OUT OF!" she yelled. Within 30 seconds her mother came bounding down the stairs with a smile on her face, "Hello fruit of my loins how was your school day?" she asked genuinely interested, she too missed their talks. "Interesting, let's go to Luke's we'll talk about it over coffee and pie!" Lorelai quickly complied and the mother and daughter made their way to their favorite coffee shop.
The two reached the diner and took a seat at a table near the window, a tall man with his usual backwards baseball cap and flannel shirt came to take their order.
"Hey Luke," Rory said.
"Hey Rory, Lorelai," the man replied.
"Luke, I'm loving your new look!" Lorelai said sarcastically. Although Lorelai was married and so was Luke, to two were good friends and Luke always watched over the two when they needed it.
Luke just grunted in reply, "What can I get for you two?"
"Coffee, cheeseburgers, chili fries, and pie," they said in unison.
"You two can be the poster girls for gluttony," Luke mumbled as he walked away. The girls just giggled.
"So what's the down low?" Lorelai asked Rory eagerly. Rory started on the explanation of the morning and her argument with Summer and how Rory handled her without the coffee. By the time she had finished, their food had arrived and the two were happily talking and laughing.
"I'm so proud of you, and very good job with the porn star reference!" Lorelai said happily. Rory just laughed, she didn't realize how much her mother had to be caught up on, but then again it had been a very eventful day.
"So how are things with Logan?" Lorelai asked, she had been waiting all day for that question.
"We're good, very good. At first I was scared jumping right into the boyfriend girlfriend thing after knowing him only a couple days, but it was worth it," Rory said with a dreamy look her face.
Lorelai smiled. At first she had been apprehensive about letting her daughter in with these high society kids, but after seeing how they treat her and how much they love her and Tristan, she felt trust for them and started liking them as her own kids.
"Anything major happen yet. I mean you know you can tell mommy everything and anything, have you two you know…" she said both cautiously and curiously.
"No!" Rory said quickly, not wanting her mom to think they were going to have sex within one day of being together, "The extent of it is making out I swear mom. We just started going out, and he's not rushing anything on me. I was scared before that he would considering his reputation at all, but he's not pushing me to do anything I don't want to, promise."
"That's great to know. But Rory, when the time does come around, in the far far far future," Rory rolled her eyes at this, "be safe with it. Because let me tell you, it's really hard to find a prom dress in maternity sizes," Lorelai said to Rory.
"I know mom, I know."
"So what else is new and exciting with that gorgeous boyfriend of yours?" Lorelai asked letting the subject drop.
"He asked me out to dinner for Friday night and we got nominated for Homecoming King and Queen," Rory said quickly not wanting her mom to make a big deal about the second part.
"Wait your boyfriend asked you out on a date, well I'll be!" Lorelai said sarcastic. Rory rolled her eyes as she finished off her burger.
"Whoa wait, did my ears deceive me or did you say something about you and Logan being nominated King and Queen?"
"Yeah, apparently we make an adorable couple," Rory said sighing in exasperation.
After the afternoon announcements that put her running against self nominated Summer as queen, many people pulled her aside voicing their support. Logan was running against Josh for King, while the other 6 in the group were the only ones nominated for their spot: Madeline and Finn as lord and lady, Louise and Colin as duke and duchess, and Stephanie and Tristan as princess and prince. Lord and Lady was typically a spot for the biggest jokers of the school, and apparently Madeline's stupid remarks came off as a sense of humor. The duke and duchess were the male and female of the school that knew the most gossip, and although Colin didn't seem like a gossiper he knew his share of embarrasing secrets. Prince and princess were saved for the female that is the closest friend of the King and the male that is the closest friend of the Queen, hence people choosing Tristan for Rory and Stephanie for Logan.
"Oh what a troublesome life you lead. Being nominated for something that only popular people get nominated for, having a gorgeous boyfriend that you look great with, and being a Hollenzallen princess! What so ever shall you do!" Lorelai said with a feigned southern belle accent.
Rory gave a glare to her mother that was cracking up before getting up preparing to leave. "I have to go now mom, have to meet up with Tristan. Bye, love you," she said giving her mom a kiss on the cheek.
"Alright bye love ya sweets see you at home," Lorelai said also getting up to go home. "Bye Luke! Don't forget to send me the number of your tailor!" she said being answered with a grunt as she giggled her way out of the diner
Rory walked into Tristan room to find him taking a nap. She looked around at his room, it was more masculine than hers with blue walls and white trim, but it was similar in many ways. He too had a giant walk in closet and a balcony, and his bed had curtains surrounding it, but less feminine curtains than hers of course. The walls were covered with pictures of him and his parents, her, and Austin and Matt and sports idols.
Rory walked over to the bed, taking off her shoes and sliding herself under the covers next to her best friend. She went up to his ear and screamed, "TRISTAN!" Tristan's eyes immediately fluttered open in shock and he halfway jumped off the bed.
"God Rory, a simple shake would've done," he said sitting up next to her. Rory pouted, "It's been a while since I've caught up with my best friend just one on one," she said putting her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah I guess we've been really involved with the group and you with your new boyfriend that we don't get much time to talk huh?" Tristan asked putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Yea, I just got to catch up with my mom a couple minutes ago, told her everything that's going on with Logan and Summer and Homecoming."
"That's good, I guess we got more involved in Chilton that we intended," Tristan said chuckling.
"Yeah a lot more. So, you know everything that's going on with me, but you've been kind of unspoken lately. Anything knew going through that pretty head of yours?" Rory asked looking Tristan in his eyes.
"I asked Louise to homecoming, and she said yes," Tristan said with a goofy smile that was wiped away when Rory smacked his behind the head. "OW! What the hell is with the abuse?" Tristan screamed.
"You didn't tell me you asshole!" Rory said laughing at the look of pain on his face.
Tristan blushed, "Oh sorry, I guess I forgot."
"Or you were too busy celebrating that you forgot to tell your best friend!"
"That too," he said with a smirk.
"Whatever, just don't do it again or I'll have to tell everyone about that time you walked in on your grandma naked," Rory said mirroring the smirk .
"RORY you said you would never mention that horrific experience again!" Tristan whined.
"I won't, if you remember to tell me the important things in your life!"
"Promise I will! So what's up with you and Logan, you seemed to have quite an affect on him during breakfast.He seemed to be very…"
"Horny?" Rory chimed in.
"I was going to say eager," Tristan said with a disgusted voice, "Gross I don't want to think of Logan and my best friend… doing things."
Rory let out a giggle before answering his question. "I'm going to tell you what I told my mom. We haven't done anything yet and he's not pressing the matter. I guess we'll just talk about it on our date Friday."
"You're going on a date Friday? And you yell at me for not telling you things?"
"Oh sorry, I guess I forgot," she said mimicking his excuse with a deep voice. Tristan pinched her, "Very funny."
"He asked me out. But Tristan, if we do talk about sex and our past relationships…"
"Oh right… Are you going to tell him the truth?" Tristan asked uneasily.
"Well, I don't know. I won't if you don't want me to, but I think it's better if we tell them as a group. So they don't think we don't trust them or something," Rory said suddenly becoming very interested in her hands.
"I don't mind, especially Logan. He deserves to know. I just hope they still trust us after they find out we hid that detail from the story."
"Me too," Rory agreed. "So we tell them tomorrow and as a kind of apology we can invite them to sleep over this weekend for the fall festival."
"Good idea, bribe them with fun," Tristan said now concerned. The group had just accepted them and started to trust them, and now they were putting that in hazard
The whole day whenever Logan would approach Rory she wasn't the same. She had something on her mind and he knew it and when he went to go Tristan about it, he was the same way. It was like the day the group had mentioned the party and the two avoided them like the plague.
"Something's up," Colin said after the two ran out in front of the group from their class before lunch.
"You're telling me, my girlfriend won't even give me the time of day," Logan said rubbing his temples.
"Did we do something again?" Stephanie asked. The group shrugged and simply made their way to the lunch room to find Tristan and Rory already at the table yelling at each other, obviously in a heated argument.
"I'm not going to be the one to tell them!" Rory screamed at Tristan.
"Well neither am I! The guys love you, if you tell them they won't try and cut your balls off with a plastic knife!"
"But Tristan!" Rory screamed in desperation. They didn't notice the attention they were drawing from around them, or the cluster of six that had gathered behind them.
"Everything alright here love?" Rory heard from behind her as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see 6 concerned faces staring at her and Tristan.
"Uhm, guys maybe you should sit. Tristan has something to tell you," Rory said sending a pleading look towards Tristan who just shook his head at her. Finn immediately went to take the seat next to Rory but was pushed out of the way by Logan. He sat next to Rory and sent her a smile, hoping she would return it and she did weakly.
They all took their seats and looked at Tristan. "What is it?" Louise spoke looking at Tristan. Damnit of all the people it had to be Louise. "Go ahead Rory tell them," he said chickening out unsure of how Louise would react.
"Uh, let's play a game, guys. Guess what me and Tristan have to tell you!" Rory said trying to find an easy way out of telling them.
"Oh a game fun!" Madeline said clapping her hands.
"Let me guess it has to do with you and Tristan?" Colin asked with sarcasm.
"Ding ding ding!" Tristan said unenthusiastic.
"Wow Colin, you're really good at this!" Madeline said amazed.
Logan, who had been holding Rory's hand and rubbing it with his thumb spoke up. "Rory just tell us," he was a little annoyed that his girlfriend and Tristan were hiding things from the group again, but he also understood that they were just knew to the big clique thing.
"Well ok you remember how when I was on the phone with Matt, I told him I had sex with Austin but he isn't who I lost my virginity to?" Rory said nervously. At the mention of sex, Logan's hand stopped all movement and his body tensed up. Rory took their silence as a yes.
"Well you all deserve to know who we lost our virginity to because if we don't tell you it'll be like we're hiding a big secret. And we don't want you guys to think we don't trust you," Rory said rather quickly, trying to get it all out in one breath.
"Who's we and what does this have to do with you and Tristan?" Stephanie asked confused. A silence followed where Rory let them try and figure it out themselves.
"Bloody hell you've got to be kidding me!" Finn exclaimed, being the first one who registered the information.
"What are you yelling about Fi--," Colin said becoming second to understand, "Whoa."
One by one, the friends began registering the information, with Logan last. When it finally hit Logan, it hit him hard. He unintentionally let go of Rory's hand and ran his now free hand through his hair.
When Rory felt Logan's hand leave hers, and saw the looks on the faces of her friends, she didn't know what to think but she was scared of losing these people she considered some of her newest best friends. Tristan also, was feeling nervous as he watched the 6 others think about the news they had just been informed of.
"So you two are best friends, but you lost your virginity to each other?" Logan asked with a voice that Rory couldn't interpret. It sounded a mix of anger and sadness, but either way it broke her heart.
Tristan saw the pain in Rory's eyes and decided to justify themselves, "We were together at the time, like I told you guys. But sleeping with each other was a big wake up call that what we were doing wasn't right. The best friends title fit us much better than the boyfriend girlfriend sleeping with each other title." Rory just nodded in agreement.
"Why didn't you tell us the night of the sleep over?" said Stephanie, her voice didn't hold any anger at all, just curiosity.
Rory took this one, "To be honest, we still had our defenses up, we trusted you but I guess not fully yet. I'm really sorry to admit to that, but it's the truth."
"Do you trust us now?" Louise asked quickly with the same curiosity.
"Of course," both Rory and Tristan said in unison, smiling at the group. To their relief the group smiled back, except Logan who was staring into space.
"As long as you two trust us enough now, and we trust that you two are only best friends, then we're fine," said Finn coming up behind them and putting an arm around each of them.
"We trust you," Rory said looking over at Logan. He looked… torn, like he was having an inner battle. Rory pulled out of the grasp of Finn who already had the rest of the group in an animated discussion and tried taking Logan's hand. Her touch made Logan look up with her with a blank stare. "Are you alright Logan?" she said trying to find even a hint of what he was thinking. "Maybe we should go talk," Logan said suddenly tightening his grasp on her hand and dragging her out of the cafeteria into the empty hallways, leaving their friends looking on.
"Is he going to yell at her?" Tristan asked apprehensive.
"No, he likes her too much to do that. He'll probably just ask a bunch of questions and then end up making out with her," Louise said like it happened everyday.
Rory was being pulled down the empty hallways by Logan when they came to a stop in their corridor. Rory was about to ask if he was angry when he read her mind.
"I'm not angry, I'm just… scared," he admitted with a sigh.
"What? Why are you scared?"
"Because he's your best friend, you two are so close and now you have that intimate past. What if those feelings come back Rory? What if you realize you love him and leave him? I want to have the past with you, I want you to be able to tell me everything like you tell him," Logan said rubbing his temples.
Rory stared at him freaking out and couldn't help by smile. Logan looked cute, like he was vulnerable. After seeing his cool, cocky, playboy act, it was refreshing to see him in a different way, innocent.
"Rory what are you smiling at!"
" Logan, you're cute," she started as she took his hands in hers, "You're cute because you're worrying about things that are stupid to worry about. Yeah, Tristan is my best friend but you're my boyfriend, you're the one I have feelings for. I don't have feelings for Tristan and honestly I don't think I ever will. I can't picture myself with anyone but you right now, and we will tell each other everything, we will have a past, and we will be a we for a long time, I can feel it," Rory said resting her head on his forehead. "Now is that all you're worried about?"
"I guess it was nothing, sorry for spacing out in the lunch room," Logan said kissing her lightly on the lips.
"How about you make up for it?" Rory said with a mischievous grin that was soon smothered with Logan's lips. He attacked her lips with fervor, like he always did, not caring that they were in the middle on a school hallway. He licked her bottom lip, pleading entrance which he received instantly. Rory was now pushed against the wall of lockers with Logan's arms around her waist firmly pressing her body to his. Rory's arms were snaked around Logan's neck and her fingers were running through his hair as well as down his back. The two were so caught up in their moment of passion they did not realize the bell had rung and classes were letting out. They also didn't realize the crowd that was gathering around to watch the show or the group of 6 that was smiling at their two friends' public display of affection.
Rory bit Logan's lip and grinded her hips into his causing him to groan and many girls to look on with envy and guys with surprise. Who knew the new girl could make the school playboy groan? A loud collective cough from their 6 friends caused the two to pull away from each other reluctantly and look around. The couple was greeted by the stares of over 30 people all with different expressions and the smirks of their 6 buddies. "Oh my god," Rory said blushing furiously before burying her head in Logan's chest. Logan just smirked and put his arms around her and kissed her head, using her to cover his apparent excitement.
"There you have it: your future Homecoming Queen and King!" Finn said trying to turn Rory's embarrassment into a campaign for votes. The group of six began clapping and soon the people that were watching followed with catcalls and hoots. Tristan and Louise laughed at the look Summer and Josh had as they were walking away from the cheering; the way someone would look after seeing a vulture eat a dead body.
To Rory's luck, the bell rang dispersing the crowd to their separate classes. Rory lifted her head up to look into Logan's lust filled eyes, she was just about ready to jump his bones right there and then when a voice from behind them spoke. "Will we be expecting you in class or at the local Motel 6 mate?" The two turned to see Finn with a giant grin on his face having said the words and their 5 other friends trying to subdue their laughter.
Rory and Logan just gave them an equal intensity glare and made their way in front of them to their next class trying to avoid the heat that both of them were feeling. "We really have to talk about this on our date Friday," Rory thought while Logan tried to calm himself wishing there was a cold shower available. You can't rush things with her, she's different, she's not one of your little one night stands.
