11. In need of exotic loving?
Almost two months later:
Rory was sitting in the middle of boxes. Almost all of her belongings were packed. She looked around her apartment and made a mental list of things she still needed to do. When she moved into this apartment, she thought she would live there longer. But now only about three months later she was moving out. Her thoughts went to a day almost two weeks ago when she had decided to move...
Rory was lying on Logan's bed. It was almost eleven o'clock in Saturday and she was still in bed. Logan had left early because of a phone call from his work. There had been some problems and they needed Logan to come. He had left Rory a note which said that he would come back as soon as possible.
Finally Rory decided to get up. She put on some sweats and made her way downstairs. It felt weird to be there by herself. She had spent a lot of time in his house lately but Logan had been there with her always. She made herself coffee and found some cereal for breakfast. She went to living room with her breakfast because she wanted to watch some TV while she ate. Logan had a big, fancy home theatre and Rory hadn't used it by herself ever before. She figured that it couldn't be so hard and pushed some buttons. Nothing happened so she pushed some more buttons. Suddenly the TV went on but instead of a picture, the screen had a text: error.
In panic she pushed some button by accident. That turned on some machine which started playing some music really loud. She was even more panicked and afraid to touch to anything anymore. Logan would be so mad at her, was all she thought. She tried to push stand-by -button but it didn't work. She was desperately trying to figure what to do when she felt someone touching her shoulder. She turned around and her eyes went wide when she saw Logan standing there. He took the remote from her and pushed a button which made the music stop.
"I'm so sorry. I just wanted to watch some TV and I must have pushed the wrong button. I didn't mean to break anything. I know I didn't have your permission to touch your stuff…" Rory stammered out. Tears started flowing down her cheek. When Logan didn't say anything immediately, she figured he was really mad so she ran upstairs.
Logan just fixed the error in the TV before he turned back to Rory only to find her gone. He heard faint sounds of sobbing coming from upstairs He followed the sound and found Rory in his bedroom packing her belongings.
"Rory…" He started.
"You don't have to say anything. I understand that you don't want me here after I have broken your home theatre system. I'm just gonna go." Rory interrupted him. "I know that me being here as a guest doesn't give me right to touch your things."
"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about." Logan told her. "I don't think that our arrangement is working the best possible way. I have been feeling that way for a while."
Rory looked at him surprised. She thought everything had been fine until now. "Well… Thank you for at least giving me a chance." She said, turned her back to him and started packing again. Tears were flowing down her cheek freely.
"I didn't mean it that way." Logan said but Rory just kept packing. He walked to her and turned her to face him. "Rory, I don't want you to be a guest in my house…"
"I think you already made that clear." Rory interrupted him again and tried to turn her back on him again.
"Just let me finish." Logan said and didn't let go of her. "As I was saying, I don't want you here as a guest. I want you to move in with me."
"What?"
"I want you to move in here." Logan told her again.
"Even after I broke your TV?"
"You didn't break anything. I'll so you how the home theatre works, so you know how to use it next time."
"Are you sure about this? I mean if I move in here, I will be here all the time. I'm going to be sleeping here every night…"
"How many nights have we spent separately since we got back together?" Logan asked her.
"Well there was that one night when I was out of town and the other night when you were away on business… And then…" Rory thought but couldn't come up with more nights spent in different addresses.
"Exactly. There you'll see why it doesn't make any sense that we don't live together. We spend almost all our free time together and it would be easier if we didn't need to decide every day where we are going to spend the next night." Logan explained. "So what do you say? Will you move in with me?"
Rory looked at him in the eyes and saw sincerity. "Yes!" She almost yelled and jumped into his arms making them both lost balance and fall on the bed…
Rory couldn't help but smile when she thought back that day and as much as she hated moving and packing, she knew that this time it was all worth-while because in the end she would get to live with Logan in a house with an avocado tree in the backyard.
Doorbell ringing interrupted Rory's thoughts. She went to open the door and found Logan and some movers standing behind it.
"Hi Ace! Are you all packed?" Logan asked and gave Rory a small kiss.
"Almost. I just have to pack few last things and then I'm all done." Rory answered and ushered Logan and the movers in. "These boxes are ready so you can start carrying them to the car already." Rory said to the movers who did what she told them to do leaving Rory and Logan by themselves.
"I'm surprised that you're already almost done. I thought here would still be a total catastrophe when we arrived. You Gilmore girls aren't known for your ability to be on time." Logan joked.
"Well someone told me that after all this awful packing and stuff I get to live in a beautiful house with a wonderful and sexy man." Rory answered playfully.
"Oh really. I was told that after I help you to move I get to live with a woman who's amazing, witty, beautiful and very good in bed, but not very domestic." He walked to Rory while talking and kissed her passionately in the end.
"As much as I want to continue this I think we should finish packing." Rory said.
"Fine but we are definitely continuing this tonight at home." Logan told her.
"Yeah. At our home." Rory said with a smile.
---------------------------------------------------
"Finally." Rory stated after five hours of unpacking. They had just finished the job.
"Now it's time to celebrate!" Logan told her. "You wait here and open up a bottle of wine. I have to take care of few things upstairs."
When Logan disappeared upstairs, Rory opened the wine and poured a glass for herself. Then she walked outside to the patio. She stood there staring the avocado three and thinking about how happy she was. She didn't know how long she had been there when Logan appeared behind her and grabbed his hands around her.
"What are you doing out here?" Logan asked.
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Us."
"Good things?"
"Yeah. I just realized that right now we are where we would have been if I had agreed moving here with you after my graduation. Minus the engagement. And some way it makes me regret ones again that I turned you down. We lost time because of me."
"But if you had agreed then you would be wondering now if you gave up your dream job to be with me. Now you know for sure that this is what you want." Logan told her.
"You're right about that. I do know what I want now…" Rory said to him with seductive voice.
"I'm always right." Logan responded cockily.
"Would you stop being arrogant ass and just take me to the bedroom and have your way with me?" Rory asked pretending to annoyed.
"You're quite demanding tonight, Ace." Logan said but scooped Rory up and started carrying her to their bedroom.
Logan had decorated the bedroom with candles and roses. A romantic music was playing in the background and lights were off.
"Wow." Was all Rory could say when she saw the room.
"I thought that you moving in here calls celebration. " Logan told her. "And I wanted us to remember the first night we spend in here this house being our home."
"Thank you." Rory whispered and kissed Logan. Kiss turned into making out and so the celebration started…
---------------------------------------------------
Next morning a sound of ringing woke the happy couple up. They had only slept for few hours since the celebration last night had lasted quite some time. Neither of them reacted anyway to the ringing until the ringing turned into banging. Groaning Logan got out of the bed and threw some clothes on before heading downstairs to see who the hell was trying to break the front door.
He opened the door and to his surprise he saw two very familiar faces.
"Hello mate." Finn said cheerily.
"Hello Logan." Colin said.
"Hi guys. What are you doing here?" Logan asked.
"You asked us to visit you some time so here we are." Colin said simply.
"You could have given me some kind of warning before hand. Have you heard a thing called phone or e-mail?"
"Those things are for people who plan their life." Finn said and pushed his way inside the house.
"I hope it's okay we're here? Finn was bored and I just mentioned that you invited us to visit and he wanted come right away." Colin said.
"Yeah it's fine. We hadn't talked for few weeks so it's nice to catch up." Logan told him.
"So what have you been up to?" Colin asked.
Before Logan could answer they heard a scream coming inside the house.
---------------------------------------------------
Rory had been half unconscious when Logan left the room. She snuggled into bed and pulled the blanked so that it covered every other part of her naked body except her head. Soon she fell back to sleep. Her slumber was interrupted by the bedroom door opening. She thought Logan was coming back to bed but instead she heard a voice that didn't belong to her boyfriend.
"Morning Love. Do you need some exotic loving?"
In her state of sleepiness she got scared. She pulled the blanket over her head and screamed which made the intruder scream.
Her screaming made Logan come running to see what's wrong and Colin followed closely behind him. They found Rory and Finn in the bedroom screaming. Logan walked to the bed and sat down onto edge of it.
"Ace, it's okay. It's just Finn and Colin." Logan told her.
Slowly her head emerged under the blanket.
"Holy shit. It's reporter girl. Logan did you know that you have reporter girl in your bed?" Finn asked.
"Yeah, Finn, I knew."
"I thought you guys were broken up?" Finn continued.
"I told you few weeks ago that they got back together." Colin told him.
"You did? I have no memory of that."
Rory started feeling some what uncomfortable being naked under the blanket in a room with three guys. "I would love catching up with you but could you first give me some privacy so I can get dressed."
"You're naked? Kinky."
"Finn" Logan said with a warning voice. "Why don't you go downstairs and we will be down in few minutes."
"Sure." Colin said and dragged Finn out of the room.
Logan got up from the bed and walked to the door locking it. "Now you can safely get dressed."
"Thanks. By the way did you know they were coming to visit?"
"I mentioned a couple months ago to Colin that they are welcome to come but I had no idea they were coming today. Does it bother you that they are here?"
"Not at all. It was just a surprise. I haven't talked them in ages so it's nice to hear what they have been up to." Rory said and got out of bed without even lightest modesty. She pulled on a robe before asking. "Do you think it's safe for me to take a shower with Finn in the house?"
Logan, who was already all dressed, answered. "I'm going to go downstairs. You lock the door and take your shower. I will be making sure Finn doesn't try to pick the lock."
Rory walked to Logan and gave him a kiss. "Sounds perfect. I love you."
"I love you too, Ace." Logan answered and gave her one more kiss before leaving the room. Rory locked the door behind him and headed to the shower thinking all the craziness ahead of her caused by the surprise visit of two stooges.
AN: Push the button and tell me what you think…
