I decided to do what a reviewer asked me to do and I didn't make this a dramatic chapter. I started a dramatic one and then decided to scrap it. Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy! Thank you to everyone who reviewed! You always make my mornings!
Rory walked into the pool house only to find that Logan was already there and was wearing a suit and tie. She looked at him and groaned. She had a feeling that he was going to ask her to come with him wherever he was going. Along with that feeling came the idea that she was probably underdressed. "Why are you getting dressed? I thought I told you I wanted you to be naked in this bed waiting for me when I came home from work."
Logan smirked as he finished tying his tie. "Oh Ace if only that was really the way you felt." Logan bent down and gently kissed her. He then pulled her up from the bed and forced her to dance around the room with him. All the while he sang softly in her ear.
"I ran into Dean today." She told him quietly. His girlfriend had been the last caterer that she had interviewed today.
Logan stopped dancing and looked at her curiously. "When and where?"
She shook her head. "First why are you getting dressed?"
"I thought we could go out for a nice meal tonight. We haven't gone out to a nice candlelit meal in forever." Logan explained.
Rory couldn't help but smile at his thoughtful actions. "Okay. Well his girlfriend was the last caterer I interviewed today. The one who came in as you were leaving."
Logan watched her closely to make sure that she was okay. He could tell she was tired of running into her ex-boyfriends. "And did it go okay?"
"It went fine. He was polite. I was polite. We were both so polite it was suffocating. It made me want a nice stiff drink." Rory paused to take a deep breath. "And then I lied."
"What did you lie about?" Logan asked her cautiously. He had a feeling that the lie was the reason she seemed so out of it tonight.
Rory licked her lips before she spoke. Her throat felt dry. She just hoped this didn't make him mad or scare him. "I told him about you. He asked if we were serious. I said that we were living together and practically engaged."
Logan couldn't help but let out a small laugh. He had been worried that she had denied his existence or said that they were on the rocks. "I don't see where you lied."
"Well I mean you have a penthouse in New Haven and technically that is your primary residence." Rory was relieved that he wasn't mad that she had said that they were practically engaged. She didn't want Logan to think that she was rushing things or that she expected them to get married. That wasn't too say she wasn't hoping that they would get married one day.
Logan nodded and then shrugged. "First I spend way more time here than I do at that place even though yes you are correct it is my primary residence. Second I figured you would move in with me when you went back to Yale."
Rory froze. Had he just asked her to move in with him? No it was more like he expected her to move in with him. She looked at him to see if this was what he really wanted. "Is this your way of asking me to move in with you?"
"Yeah it is." Logan said softly. He grabbed her hands and brought them close. "I really want you to move in with me Rory. So what do you say?"
Rory took a deep breath and then she smiled. "Yes. I say yes."
Logan brought her hands to his face and placed gently kisses all over them. He couldn't have been happier. He loved the way things were progressing with Rory. Truth be told he was quietly starting to consider maybe even asking her to consider maybe marrying him. Still he was keeping that consideration quiet. "So are we still going to go to dinner?"
Rory stood up from the bed and nodded furiously. "Yeah just let me change out of this outfit. This is my eating skirt." She joked and then she disappeared into her closet.
Logan leaned back and closed his eyes. She drove him crazy. He couldn't have found a better first girlfriend. He was in the middle of thinking about her when he heard someone knock on the front door. "Ace you want me to get that?"
"Please do." She called from the closet where she was trying to decide between the brown Yves Saint Laurent dress or the black Ralph Lauren dress.
Logan opened the door and found someone he didn't recognize standing on the other side. If this was another one of Rory's ex-boyfriends she wasn't going to be pleased to see him. "Can I help you?"
"You must be Logan Huntzberger. My name is Jamie Davis. I'm sure Rory's has referred to me as Paris' ex-boyfriend." Jamie said as he extended his hand to the other man.
Logan was pleased to hear that for once it wasn't Rory's ex-boyfriend standing there. "Oh you're right about. Come on in. She's just getting changed."
Jamie took in Logan's suit. "Oh did I interrupt your plans?"
"Not really. We have reservations but you must know how it is."
"You drop a last name and they overlook your tardiness." Jamie completed for him. As a Davis he often experienced the star treatment when he was eating in Boston. His grandfather had been Mayor for nearly fifteen years until he suffered a stroke and stepped down from the position. "Have we met before?" Jamie had this suspicion that this wasn't his first time running into Logan.
Logan looked at him for a second. "I went to half a dozen boarding schools for high school."
Then it dawned on Jamie. "Andover. I think you were a year behind me."
"Wait was your sister Bethany Davis?"
"Yeah but now she's," Jamie stopped though because Logan interrupted him.
"She's Bethany McRae. Your sister married my best friend's older brother."
Jamie grinned. "Yeah she is. You must be talking about Colin. I have to know is he dating that girl yet."
Logan rolled his eyes and nodded. "They have finally become more than just "friends". So you dated Paris huh?"
"Not only did I date Paris but I actually want to get back together with Paris. I'll give you a moment to wrap your head around that one." Jamie joked. He was used to people being shocked that he was dating her. She wasn't what people would consider to be his type. Before her he went for your usual society girls. They were the kind who cared more about their debutante ball than their SAT scores.
Rory walked into the living room wearing the black dress. She smiled as soon as she saw Jamie. She rushed over to where he was sitting and gave him a hug. It had been so long since she had seen him. The last time had been a bit awkward. "I heard your lunch date went beautifully."
Jamie blushed and nodded. "I didn't mean to intrude on you two or anything I just wanted to see if I could buy a seat for the event you are throwing next weekend."
"Does this have anything to do with the fact that you know Paris is going to be there?"
"Paris is going?" Jamie pretended that he didn't already know that.
Rory rolled her eyes and smiled. "Of course you can get a seat. You just need to mail the check to the D.A.R. offices and once it clears we'll send you your ticket."
"Is the boyfriend going with her?" He asked slowly.
Rory had to think for a minute and then shook her head no. "I don't think so. He's not really in the Hartford inner circle if you know what I mean."
Jamie couldn't stop a smile from forming on his lips. He stood up. "Well then I guess I'll be going. It was nice meeting you again Logan. Tell Colin I said finally we were all tired of hearing his excuses. Rory it's always lovely to see you."
After Jamie was gone Rory looked at Logan curiously. "He knows Colin?"
"His sister married Colin's older brother." Logan couldn't believe that the same Jamie Davis he went to Andover with would date a girl like Paris. Still he never thought he would date a girl like Rory so what did he know.
"Oh."
Logan smirked at her lack of a response. "Are you ready for dinner?"
"I'm always ready to eat." Rory joked.
Logan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and then guided her out the door to his Porsche. Just before helping her get in he placed a gentle kiss on her lips. He sat there for a second just allowing his forehead to touch hers.
"What?" Rory asked quietly not daring to move her forehead.
Logan stood there trying to put his feelings into words. "I just I'm happy you chose me." Logan didn't say anything else for a second and then he continued. "I just I really love you Ace. I really do. I love you more than you could imagine."
"We've already gone over this before." She started.
"No." Logan said as he pulled back so that he could look in her the eyes. "I mean I really love you. I love you in that Tristan and Isolde kind of way. You know how he risked everything for the girl. I love you that way. If you told me to give up my inheritance and join you on a beach somewhere I would do it. I just I really love you."
Rory felt a single tear roll down her cheek.
Logan gently wiped the tear away with his thumb and then he kissed her. He kissed her until their need for oxygen became alarming. When he pulled away his breathing was ragged to say the least. Still all he could do was smile and then help her into the car. He sat down into the car next to her and cracked it on. He glanced over at her out of the corner of his eye when he was pulling out of the driveway and he could see that she had this satisfied kind of smile on her face. In typical Logan fashion he did what came natural and he smirked.
Man I thought about making it complicated and then I read a review that asked me not to. I decided that was better. I didn't really want to deal with anymore complications. I basically want to pair up my two favorite couples and then end this in romantic fashion. Thank you for reading. Please review! Thanks!
