Disclaimer: Much to my personal dismay I do not own Gilmore Girls or Matt Czuchry… No matter how much I love him.

Chapter Twenty

She smiled and walked over to the window to unlatch it. He climbed in and stood in front of her. "Did your mom get a hold of you Ace? She was really upset."

"Yeah, apparently I lost my mind and forgot that it was Friday and that I had to go to dinner at the Gilmore's. I'm sorry she called you."

"Why? It didn't bother me."

"Logan, she said you sounded upset."

"Well I wasn't. You wanna date Robert that's your prerogative. I mean he's a self-centered jackass but still I guess he can be fun."

"He's supposed to be your friend. How can you refer to him as a 'self-centered jackass'?"

"Because he is. How much of your date was spent talking about him and his plan to leave all his money to a parrot named Polly."

"Logan."

"That's what I thought."

"Don't take this the wrong way Huntzberger but what are you doing here?" Rory asked trying to change the subject.

"We agreed to meet at eleven remember."

Rory smiled as he wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. "Now I remember. I'm sorry I've been so scatterbrained today. I think I left my memory back in your dorm last night."

"It's ok Ace. You look exhausted and I woke you, you should go back to sleep."

"No, come on. We can go watch TV and make out on the couch."

"Sounds like a plan Ace. Let's go." Logan said picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. She giggled when he slapped her on the ass and kissed him the second he set her down on the couch. He reached for the remote and turned on the TV. They found some cheesy movie and she cuddled up against his chest. They watched the movie and occasionally got into some steamy kissing sessions. About an hour into the movie Logan noticed that Rory's breathing had softened and she was asleep. He stayed on the couch for another thirty minutes so that she was good and asleep. He sighed and then picked her up and carried her back to her bed. He pulled the covers up over her and kissed her on her forehead. He walked towards her door but right before he got out the door, he turned back around and looked at her. God she is so beautiful. Logan thought to himself. For the second time that day he heard Colin's voice ringing in his ears, make a choice, commit. "I think I'm regretting this no strings deal, I'm getting far too close, far too involved with you. I don't even want to leave tonight." He whispered knowing she couldn't hear him. He never even noticed Paris standing behind him and when he turned around to leave she was gone. Logan sighed and walked out Rory's dorm.

The next morning Rory awoke completely unsure of how she got in bed. Logan must have carried me in here, she thought to herself. She got up and got dressed. She spent four hours working on her article for the newspaper and then printed it out so that she could drop it off. She grabbed her purse and headed in the direction of the newspaper office. She stopped at a coffee cart right outside the dorm to buy her coffee. As she was turning to leave she saw Finn walking up to her.

"Well, well, well. Finn I didn't know you knew how to rise before dusk." Rory said joking

"Well love, I was actually on my way to see you." He said smiling widely

"Uh oh, I'm almost afraid to ask this but why are you looking for me Aussie?"

"I have an idea."

"Never good." Rory said starting to walk towards the newsroom

"Hush Gilmore. This is a plan that you will thoroughly enjoy." He said quickly falling into step with her

"Ooohh… I'm intrigued. Tell me about this plan."

"You see I have this theory that it would be fun to see Logan jealous, especially considering it doesn't happen often."

"Finn, not to be rude but reach a point."

"Well I've decided that I want to help you."

"Help me what?"

"Make Logan jealous of course."

"I'm not trying to make Logan jealous Finn."

"Robert, Rory? Honestly Robert? He hates him."

"No he doesn't."

"Yes he does. They may be friends love, but Logan despises Robert, now more than ever."

"What do you mean now more than ever?"

"Let's just say that if you were trying to make him jealous last night with Robert, it worked. If you weren't trying to make him jealous then it still worked because I saw him last night and he was jealous."

"Finn… What do you want."

"Go out with me tonight."

"No."

"No?"

"That's right. I said no."

"Why?"

"You're off limits."

"What?"

"You're off limits. You and Colin both."

"Off limits?"

"Yes Finn. Dating you or Colin is against the rules."

"Y'all have rules?"

"Yes. We have rules. If we didn't have rules this thing wouldn't work."

Finn looked at Rory as if she was insane. Logan never set rules for these kind of relationships. It was always go out, have sex, call when the need to repeat arose. There had never been specific people who were off limits. Finn looked behind him, where Colin had been following since they passed his Saturday class, and motioned for Colin to come up to them. Colin walked up and looked at Finn. "What's up?"

"We're off limits." Finn stated looking at Colin who was looking at Rory

"What? I'm sorry Finn you have to quit assuming that I can actually hear the conversations in your head."

"I asked out the fair Gilmore for tonight and she just informed me that it was against the rules that her and Logan set for her to date either one of us."

"Rules?" Colin said looking at Finn, "Since when do casual relationships have rules?"

"Since now. Now if you two don't need me for anything else I'm going to go in the newsroom and give my article to Doyle." Rory said and turned to walk away

"See you later love." Finn called out

"Wait for me I'll be right back." Colin said to Finn before running off to follow Rory "Rory!" Colin called out

Rory sighed. "Yes Colin how can I help you?"

"Can I ask you a serious question that will stay just between you and me?"

"And Finn of course."

"Well yeah probably." Colin admitted

"Fine, what?"

"You want to be in a committed relationship with Logan don't you?"

Rory took a deep breath before turning back to face Colin. "No. I don't." and then she turned back around and went into the newsroom.

AN: Ok, so much shorter than the last one… I know… it's kinda just a filler… read and review…
