her realize what she has always wanted. This story takes place eight years after Chilton.
Pairing: Rogan for now…will change later.
Rating: T for now, just a lot of staring and gawking. But that will change.
AN: The muses in my head wouldn't shut up so I had to write this. If you like it let me know. And I will not forget my other story. It will get finished.
Rory Gilmore sat in the restaurant waiting for her boyfriend. He was late…again. She thought about calling him. Maybe he had forgotten they had a date tonight. She checked her watch for the third time since sitting down. Her cell phone rang and she grabbed it from off the table.
"Logan?"
"Yeah Ace, it's me. Listen, I'm not going to be able to make it tonight."
"I noticed. I've been here almost an hour."
"You have? I'm sorry baby. I didn't think I was supposed to be there until nine."
"Eight Logan."
""Now I feel like a jerk."
"You should." She said sounding upset.
"I'll make it up to you. I've gotta go." He said before hanging up.
Rory shut her phone before grabbing her purse. She was not going to cry. That would make her weak. She wasn't weak, she didn't need Logan to live. She could get through this in her own way. She made her way through the restaurant without looking up. She collided with someone mumbling an apology as she walked away.
Outside she waited for a valet to bring her car around. She should have known this would happen. It had been happening a lot lately. She heard someone walk up behind her.
"Miss?"
Rory turned around and gasped. In front of her was the last person she expected to see. Obviously he didn't remember her. He was holding out her purse for her to take it. She hadn't realized she had dropped it.
"Thank you." She said taking it.
"Daddy come on!" A little girl said from the door of the restaurant.
"You're welcome." He said smiling.
She watched him walk away and pick up his daughter as he walked inside. Rory never thought she would see Tristan Dugrey again. He had a daughter, which didn't surprise her. Most of the girls she went to school with had a bet going that he would be a father before twenty-one.
Rory knew she shouldn't be thinking that. She didn't know his story. She wasn't the type to pass judgment on someone. Even if she didn't care that much for them. The valet finally brought her car around. As soon as she got behind the wheel her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey there Gilmore!"
"Hey mom." Rory said smiling.
"You're not still on your date are you?"
"No. Logan didn't show up."
"Did he at least call?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry kid."
"It's not your fault." She said sighing.
"Something else bothering you?"
"I ran into someone a few minutes ago. I hadn't seen them in a while."
"Tell me everything."
Rory told Lorelai about running into Tristan. And about his daughter.
"He didn't recognize you? Is he blind? And did you say he has a daughter?"
"I doubt he's blind mom. And yes he has a daughter."
"No wife?"
"I didn't see anyone else."
"You didn't check his hands?"
"Why are you yelling at me?"
"Because. If a guy who looks like a Greek God is in front of you the first thing you do is check for a ring!"
"You're still yelling!"
"I'm cool." Lorelai said calming herself down.
"How do you know what he looks like anyway?"
"You know for someone who works for a magazine you would think you would pick one up."
"He's famous?"
"He's only one of the richest people under thirty. He's a self made billionaire."
"He comes from money mom."
"Like I said pick up a magazine. He ditched his family years ago. Didn't say why."
"What does he do?"
"Rory, dear child of mine. You just ran into the assistant DA for the state of New York."
"No!" Rory said with a gasp.
"I swear."
Rory hung up a few minutes later. Who knew the badass rule breaker she knew ten years ago would turn into a lawyer. Maybe he had changed after all.
XXXX
Rory was getting ready for bed when Logan came home. She was still getting used to living with him. It would have been easier if she had a steady male figure living with her when she was growing up. She wasn't complaining though. Logan came into the room pulling off his tie. Rory smiled at him as he pulled her to him.
"Hey Beautiful." He said against her lips.
Rory smiled against his lips before kissing him. She let him lead her to the bed. He cradled her as she fell onto the bed. He might be forgetful be she knew he loved her. She felt bad for doubting him.
But as she fell asleep that night she couldn't help thinking about Tristan. She must not have meant that much to him. She was happy that he had found happiness. And closure. She felt Logan tighten his grip on her. She sighed before falling asleep.
AN: I know it's short. But it got the point across. And hopefully it got you interested. Let me know what you think.
