AN: Here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it. I am using parts from the show, you will recognize them, since this story follows the shows outline. I will change some things but some of the things that were said need to stay, for the story to flow like it should.
Chapter 2:
Marty gives Rory a weird look as she hangs up the phone. She continues to look out the window with a small smile on her face. She finally turns and looks to Marty, noticing the weird look, "Do you want to go get some coffee or something?" Trying to deflect any questions that he might have for her.
"Sure, I could use some. I will tell you what else I found out this summer." Marty tells her, wanting to know the reasoning behind the look and phone call she just had. He decides not to push it right then, but knows that he will come back to it later.
They find a coffee cart, near Branford, and order their coffee. As they are walking back to Branford, he fills her in on the rest of his summer.
"I mean, I always thought I looked a lot like my Uncle Jerry, and gee, Mom seemed to really like him." Marty explains to her about the fact that his father is not actually his father.
She has a look of shock and disbelief, "I cannot believe this. After all this time, your mother tells you now."
"My dad looked relieved," He says with a small laugh and a shake of his head.
Rory whips her head around, "He did not." And looks even more shocked at what he is telling her.
They continue talking about his parentage, when he finally asks the question she didn't know how to answer, "So what did you do over the summer?" Hoping to get something out of her to explain the phone call from earlier.
Rory looks a little uncomfortable with the question, but still has a small smile on her face, "Well, we so should have started with me."
Just when she is about to give a watered down version of what happened to her over the summer, someone in a red jacket bumped into Marty.
"Oh, sorry." Marty apologized.
The man that bumped into him, just looked at him with disdain before he replied, "No, seriously, you couldn't see me there?"
Rory looks at the 3 men and 2 women standing before her. The two brown haired guys each have a girl on their arm. When she finally looks that the other guy with them, she smiles inwardly and catches Logan's eye. He gives her a small smile and wink, before they get sucked back into the conversation that is going on around them.
"Not everyone's staring at you, Colin" The taller of the guys says with a heavy Australian accent. Rory finally realizes that these are Logan's best friends Colin and Finn, and she is bracing herself for what might be said next. She knows, from what Logan told her about them, that they tend to look down on those who are not of high society.
Logan gives her a small apologetic look, "Hey, I know you. No, wait-wait, don't tell me. I'm seeing a uniform of some sort." Logan hopes that Rory will not tear into him too bad after he said that. He can see that she is starting to get angry at the way him and his friends are treating Marty, even though he doesn't mean what he is saying.
"Maytag repairman." Finn states with obvious sarcasm.
"I have bartended some parties for you" Marty reminds him.
"That's right, you have. You make a kick-ass margarita" Logan compliments Marty, as he directs that last part to Rory, mainly just so he can look at her again, without being suspicious.
"Thanks." Marty says, a little embarrassed to be having this conversation in front of Rory.
Rory is watching the whole thing from the sidelines and it getting more and more angry at Logan and his friends. She knows that this is how he used to act and how his friends still act, but she can't help but be pissed off at some of the things that he is saying to Marty.
"It's good to see you again. What's your name?" Logan asks, try to smooth things over just a little, but knows that Rory is too pissed to let him off the hook now.
"Marty. And, uh...this is Rory." Marty says to Logan, hoping the conversation will be dropped and they can continue on back to the dorm. That hope is lost, with the next thing that Logan says to him.
"Hi. So, assuming your financial status hasn't changed, you are still offering your services this year, right?" Logan asks, not liking the way Marty introduced Rory to him, and not liking the look that crossed Marty's face when he did introduce her. He knew he shouldn't be jealous of Marty, but he couldn't help it. This was the first time they had ever really been in a situation like this. Logan hated feeling jealous, but he trusted Rory and knew that the jealousy was unfounded.
Rory's anger softened a little as she saw the jealously rise up in Logan. She knew that he had nothing to be jealous of, but for him to be jealous of Marty, of all people, she thought it was kinda funny and served him right.
"Nope. I am still going to be offering my services this year." Marty told Logan. At that statement, Dirty, ran through Logan and Rory's minds. They both looked at each other and smiled inwardly, knowing that they both had the same thought.
"Good. I will give you a call. Where are you living now?" Logan asked, already knowing what the answer will probably be.
"Branford." Marty tells him, ready to get away from these people.
Rory sees the amusement in Logan's eyes, "Oh, excellent...Branford. Good seeing you, Marty." Logan says, as he begins to walk away.
Colin dryly states before he walks off as well, "Excellent shirt," then looks at Rory, "I can see what you see in him." Logan stops abruptly, when Colin said that to Rory. He turns slowly, so he can get the dumbfounded look off his face. He sees the shocked look on Rory's face, and the look of hope on Marty's face.
"Don't be an ass, Colin." He slightly growled out to Colin. Logan does all he can to not show just how mad at Colin he is for that comment to Rory. Colin turns to leave and Rory notices that Logan's jaw is clenched tightly and know that she will need to come up with something to put him in a better mood later.
"I kinda hate those guys." Marty says as he watches them walk away.
"Really? I can't see why." She slightly agrees with him, trying not to show her connection to Logan and Logan's world.
