Chapter Thirty
Rory broke the kiss and looked back up at him. "You're what?"
"I'm falling in love with you. I have been for a while."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
Rory smiled at him and threw her arms around him. "But what about all the other girls?"
"There aren't any."
"Logan you had over a hundred girls on speed dial, how can you say there aren't any?" Rory asked suspiciously
"Here." Logan said handing her his phone
"What am I supposed to do with this?"
"Flip through it."
Rory flipped through the address book and found only her. Her smile grew and Logan grabbed her hand. "There's only me."
"There's only been you since the day I met you. I know that doesn't seem right since you know I've dated other girls but Rory, I have never felt like this. I'm so protective of you. I babysat your sister for goodness sake. I was so jealous of Robert."
"You shouldn't have been."
"But I was. I never expected to be jealous when you started seeing other guys. To be honest I never gave it any thought, until your mom asked me what I'd do if you dated Marty. I was absolutely blown away by the jealousy that flooded through my veins. And then when she mentioned Finn or Colin, I knew that I couldn't let that happen. She saw it in my eyes and called me on it. That's when I decided that we needed rules. Which was ridiculous. Everyone kept telling me that the kind of relationship we were having didn't require rules. I wanted you all to myself. I still do. I need you all to myself. I was never prepared for you to see other people. I was never prepared for how it would make me feel. Rory I want strings with you."
Rory smiled. "I want strings with you too Logan."
"So, what does that make us?"
"What definition are you comfortable with Logan?"
"How about I call you my girlfriend and you can call me your boyfriend."
Rory smiled. "That's perfect."
"I'm going to screw up, you know this right?"
"I'm betting on it. But don't worry we'll cross that bridge when he get to it."
"Just let me know when I'm doing something wrong. You're my first girlfriend. I don't want to screw this up."
"I will." Rory said wrapping her arms around his neck and welcoming the mind boggling kiss.

Colin looked over at Finn who was just sitting in the living room flipping through channels on the television. "Would you stop that! It's annoying. Pick a channel and stay there." Colin griped at Finn
"I'm sorry mate. I just keep thinking that I should have punched Robert." Finn said angrily
"Why?"
"Because then I wouldn't feel as frustrated as I do now."
"What are you talking about?"
"I was just sitting here thinking. You know how people say you can learn a lot about a person when you look at who their friends are?"
"Yeah." Colin said unsure where this was going
"We're friends with Robert. What does that say about us? We're friends with someone who would willingly take a girl out to New York, never tell her where she was and then just disappear. What kind of people do that?"
"I don't know Finn." Colin said truthfully. When he noticed the kind of look Finn was giving him he added, "You know I don't agree with what Robert did here tonight."
"But you defended him."
"No, I said that he was out friend too." Colin said defending himself
"Anybody that would do that to someone like Rory isn't worth it to me." Finn asked
"You know what. I get that we all like Rory and that you've somehow managed to be her older brother here, and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure when that happened, but Rory isn't completely blameless in this situation." Colin said bitingly
Finn's jaw dropped open. "What in the hell are you talking about mate!"
"She was leading him on the whole time. She wasn't interested in him and she used him to make Logan jealous."
"No, she didn't. She accepted a date that led to him getting his face punched in. She felt bad about that and agreed to another date, but by the time she wanted out she was in too deep with Robert. He was everywhere. He left her like ten messages a day. He asked her out constantly. Robert used Rory to get at Logan. He answered the phone every time Logan called. You were there once you saw it. He could have let them ring but he made sure that Logan knew he was Rory. He threw Rory in his face. When we were in Stars Hollow last night Logan called me and I tried to get Rory to answer it and she wouldn't so Robert grabbed it and answered it. Rory wasn't using Robert. He was using her and when it wasn't beneficial for him anymore, when Rory ended it all he turned against her. He left her out in that damn clearing, alone, cold, and terrified."
"I know what he did. But he's still our friend." Colin said knowing he was fighting a losing battle
Finn groaned and stood up. "Correction. He's your friend. Now I'm pretty sure that Logan is coming home tonight and he'll probably bring Rory. Maybe you should go spend the night over in Robert's room if you feel the need to continue defending him."
"Are you trying to kick me out?" Colin asked surprised
"All I'm saying mate is that if you keep this up when Logan gets here you and Robert are going to have a lot in common. You're both jackasses and you'll have matching bruises. I'm going to get drunk." Finn said storming out of the dorm.
Colin just went in his room and shut and locked the door.

Rory and Logan had been sitting in Rory's room lying on the bed curled up in each other's arms for the last twenty minutes when Rory suddenly jerked out of his arms. "What are you doing Ace?"
"You want to take me home?" Rory asked
"You want to go back to Yale?" Logan asked
"I do."
"Do you need to tell Lorelai?"
"I'll leave her a note. She'll be busy with Luke for the rest of the night and honestly I don't think I want to be here to witness that."
"Hence us going back to Yale."
"Exactly." Rory said while writing her mother a note explaining that she had gone back to Yale and would call her in the morning. When she was finished she looked at Logan who hadn't moved off of her bed. "Let's go Huntzberger."
"Right away Ms. Gilmore." Logan said hopping off the bed.
Rory left the note next to the coffee pot knowing that Lorelai would find it there and then walked out the front door hand in hand with Logan. He walked her over to his car and opened her door. As he was pulling out the Gilmore driveway he turned and faced Rory. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
"When did you and Finn get so close?"
Rory laughed. "I have no idea, but he's the big brother I never had."
"I like that you get along with my friends you know."
"I know. I like that I get along with your friends too."
"Finn was joking about how we couldn't take you to anymore LDB events because you were never going to wear another blindfold again."
Rory laughed. "As long as you are there holding my hand, I'll be fine."

The drive back to Yale was really uneventful. Logan and Rory walked into Branford and he was about to drop her off at her dorm when they got to the door and could hear Paris and Doyle going at it again. Paris was screaming and throwing things and Doyle was apologizing like crazy. "I don't want to go in there." Rory said, "I've had enough drama for one night."
"You can come home with me." Logan said leading her away from the dorm room.
"What about all my stuff?"
"Do we have to go through this again Ace. I have stuff that belonged to Steph you can use." Logan said smiling. And then he added, "You know we should really think about getting you a drawer or something in my room, you know a place for all your stuff. Could even get you a shelf for the bathroom."
Rory smiled at him and reached out to stop him from walking. He turned around and looked at her questioningly. She reached up and pulled him to her and kissed him tenderly. "What was that for?" Logan asked when they both parted for oxygen
"That was just such a boyfriendy thing to say, and it was so sweet that I had to kiss you. We should get you a drawer and a shelf for mine too."
Logan blushed slightly, surprising himself and Rory who didn't even know he could blush. "Well Ace, what can I say, I'm going to be a great boyfriend."
"Yes you are Master and Commander."
AN: Ok, so I know you were all wanting a long chapter but this is really just a filler. I'm not sure where this story is headed at the moment. I know where I want it to end but I'm having a hard time getting there at the moment. Read and review….
