Chapter Eighteen
Rory walked out of her dorm room at two, already an hour late to meet with Logan. She had meant to just run in and change her clothes before going to see Logan, but when she got in there Paris was freaking out about Doyle and Rory got roped into talking to her. She walked the fifteen minutes to Logan's dorm and knocked on the door. Logan opened it and took a second to move away so Rory could come in. "I thought you were going to be here at one." Logan stated
"Sorry, Paris was freaking out about something Doyle said and I had to help her."
Logan sighed. He was extremely uncomfortable with himself. Colin's words were swarming around in his head 'Do something. Become exclusive. You and I both know that Rory is more than a fling. Commit. "It's fine. Is she ok?"
"Yeah she's fine now."
"Good." Logan said pulling Rory into his arms and gently kissing her. He pulled away before the kiss could become deepened and looked at Rory. "You want to go get something to eat tonight?"
Rory look saddened. She hadn't expected him to want to spend tonight with her as well, since they were together all night last night. "Actually I can't." Rory told him looking at the floor
The smile fell from Logan's face. "Why not?"
"I have a date." Rory mumbled quietly, but loud enough for Logan to hear her.
"Oh." Logan said taking a deep breath before kissing her on the cheek. "What about right now? Any plans for the next couple of hours?"
"Nope nothing. I just have to be home by six. So we have four hours to do whatever you want to do."
Logan looked back at her suggestively before pulling her in for a deep kiss. Rory finally pulled away when her lungs began burning for oxygen. "Well, let's go then." Logan said pulling her along behind him as he headed into his room.
Alarms were going off in her head. She couldn't possibly do this with Logan now and go out with Robert tonight. "Logan, when I said whatever you wanted I didn't mean this."
Logan noticed the apprehension on her face and laughed, "I'm just getting my jacket Ace, it's kinda breezy out there today."
A crimson blush ran through her face. Embarrassed Rory said, "Oh."
"My my Ace, get your mind out of the gutter. However if you want to stay here and go at it instead of getting some lunch and some coffee… well then I think I could be persuaded to change our plans." Logan said smirking
"No, coffee and lunch sounds great. Let's go."
"In a hurry Gilmore?"
"Never mention food and coffee and then try to keep a Gilmore waiting Huntzberger. You should know that by now. It's unsafe."
"Unsafe for what Ace?"
"Your health silly."
"Well then by all means let's go." Logan said smiling before pulling Rory in for a small kiss. He grabbed her hand and then pulled her out the door.
Logan dropped Rory off at her door at quarter to six leaving Rory about an hour to do all the stuff she had to do before she went out with Robert. Rory grabbed her stuff and went to shower. An hour later she walked out of her room dressed looking for her shoes. Noticing Paris on the couch she said "Hey Paris, have you seen my black strappy heels?"
Paris looked up from CSPAN and turned around to face Rory. She took in Rory's appearance. Rory was wearing a semi-short black skirt (just barely passing her knees) and a bright teal v-neck shirt. "You look great Ror. The last time I saw the before mentioned heels they were by the fridge."
Rory walked over to the fridge and there were her shoes. "What are they doing over here by the fridge Paris?"
"Doyle must have moved them over there last night. Speaking of last night, we got back and you weren't here. Hot date with Huntzberger?"
"Nope, nothing hot about it. I got locked out and you weren't back yet. I couldn't remember if you were coming back last night or not and I didn't want to interrupt your date so I just stayed the night at Logan's dorm."
"Interesting. You seem to spend a lot of time with Logan lately."
"Interesting is a good word. Apparently while I was in the shower this morning Finn tried to walk in on me "accidentally"." Rory said using air quotes, "And I like him Paris. Is it such a crime that I spend time with him. I like him and he likes me."
"So you two are in a relationship now?" Paris asked turning back around to face the TV
"No." Rory said putting on her shoes. She looked at the clock. 6:55. "Crap."
"What?" Paris said without looking back up from the TV.
"I'm going to be late." Rory said running back into her room to finish putting on her make up.
Five minutes later there was a knock on the door. "Paris can you get that."
Paris walked over to the door and opened it at the same time as she yelled, "Why don't we just make Huntzberger a key!". She turned around "Logan get your ass in here so I can shut the… oh…"
"Well, I'm not Logan, just a friend of his, but can I come in anyway?" Robert asked
"Yeah, come in." Paris said feeling embarrassed. "Sorry I thought you were Logan."
"No problem. Is she ready?"
"Who?"
"Rory?" Robert said questioningly
"Why would you care if Rory's ready?" Paris said still unsure about what Robert was doing here.
Before Robert could answer her Rory came out of the room. Robert looked at her and his mouth dropped open a little. "You look amazing."
"Thank you Robert. Just let me get my coat and then we can leave, ok." Rory said smiling
Paris followed Rory back into her room. "I thought you were going out with Huntzberger?"
"I never said that I was going out with Logan tonight, and oh by the way, I don't think Logan needs a key."
"I guess I just assumed that your date tonight was with Logan."
"Well you shouldn't assume." Rory said and started walking out the room. She got into the common room and was about to tell Robert she was ready to go when Paris came back in.
"Rory."
"Yes, Paris." Rory said her voice sounding exasperated but nevertheless walked over towards Paris
"Don't forget your keys. You might not want to spend the night with this one and somehow I don't think Logan would appreciate you sleeping over tonight after you got home from a date with one of his friends."
Rory smiled at Paris. "Thanks." Then she turned back at Robert. "You ready?"
"Of course. Let's go." he said helping her put her coat on.
"Let's go." Rory repeated.
AN: Ok, next chapter Rory and Robert's date, and Logan finds out that her date was with Robert…
