ANHere is my new update, thanks to all the people who are constantly reading and reviewing with each chapter, you guys rock!

"Jess?"

"Rory, I miss you. I'm sorry, we need to talk." Jess walked over to the couple before eyeing Logan off suspiciously.

"Jess! I've said everything I need to say. I don't love you. I'm not sure if I ever did! Logan, it might be better if you leave now. Sorry you had to see this." Rory sent a million apologies to Logan with the glance she gave him.

"Sure, I'll call you tomorrow." He smiled slightly and turned to walk away.

"Blonde dick hassling you Rory?" Jess spat, Logan stopped in his tracks, which went unnoticed by Rory.

"No Jess. You're hassling me. He was dropping me off, from our date. Where he offered to get me drinks, asked me to dance, said I looked nice and made sure I had fun, Jess. I had fun. I really like him. Please, just leave me alone Jess. It's not going to work out." Her voice was soft and her eyes watery. She couldn't believe that she was spilling her heart out to Jess, when she hadn't even told Logan, who, unbeknown to her was standing just around the corner listening to every word that passed.

"God Rory! You're so stupid sometimes! Falling for guys that just see you as a piece of meat! They just want to have you Rory! They don't love you, I wanted to Marry you!" Jess' voice was raised and he was getting angry again.

"What are you talking about!" Rory's voice matching his, "You don't care what I do when I'm with you, but the second you're about to lose me it's some kind of challenge again? Just… just get lost Jess." She was crying now, and Logan wanted more than anything to run around and hug her, but he new that Jess would just make things more difficult if he did.

"You were cheating on me." False realisation came into Jess' eyes.

"What? That's crazy, I would never, could never!" Rory gasped, shocked at the accusation.

"With that Logan guy? I can't believe I was so stupid not to realise you were sleeping with the blonde dick who has a large trust fund! I had no idea you were such a slut." He was shouting now, moving in on Rory, whose colour had drained from her face. Logan couldn't take it anymore.

Logan ran around the corner and pushed Jess away from Rory. Jess stepped back in shock before sending Logan a death glare.

"Guess he was still hoping for a chance at getting in your pants once I left. Wouldn't want to hold you up." He spat on the ground and turned to walk away.

Logan grabbed his shirt and punched him in the face, much to the surprise of Jess and horror of Rory. Logan held his grip on Jess' shirt and glared at Jess.

"You better watch your mouth when you talk about her, because I know people that would bash your face in a lot sooner than me… and I'm not too hesitant myself. So unless you're feeling pretty good about giving the Frank Abagnale Juniors lifestyle a go, then I suggest you back off." Logan let go off Jess' shirt with a thrust and they glared at each other for what felt like forever. Finally Jess backed down and turned away, making the long walk of shame away from Branford.

"Thankyou." Logan heard Rory mutter from the doorway. Her eyes were wide with a mix of terror and shock.

Logan walked over to her and put his arm around her shoulder and tried to comfort her. She looked up at him and gave him a wan smile.

"Points for the Catch Me if You Can reference as well." Her smile was al little more genuine this time.

"Well, if he lay a finger on you he would have to change his name before he was tracked down by a semi-naked Australian." He gave her a slight squeeze before taking her keys from her hand and opening the door himself.

"Thanks again Logan, and I really did have fun, even if the end was a little more dramatic than expected." She gave him a peck on the lips and her blue eyes smiled affectionately up at him.

"Aw, common Ace! It was just a differentkind of dramatic!" He smirked at her and she hit him playfully on the arm.

"Hush you!"

"So, what are you doing tomorrow?" He asked almost casually.

"Well, I've got to revise for the Political Science class on Monday, I'll drop in on the paper for a couple of hours, maybe grab a coffee with Marty in the afternoon. I've also got to finish my features article for Doyle! Oh no! Doyle! Paris has a date… I'm going to have to help her get ready or I'll never hear the end of it and-"

"Ace! Relax! I didn't mean to freak you out. You were supposed to say, 'Nothing much' and then I'd say 'Good, how about lunch?' then you would be so entranced with my good looks that you would say-"

It was Rory's turn to cut him off, "Lunch sounds great Logan. Just don't spoil it by getting all cocky on me." She smiled and kissed him gently on the lips, he kissed her back, holding her close to him before he pulled away.

"And Ace, you don't need to get all dressed up this time." He gave her a wink and she smiled playfully.

"'Now where's the fun in that? I really wanted to see you do Toto!" She looked up at him with her big Bambi eyes and he couldn't help but smile.

"I'll come by the newsroom at twelve then?" He took one more look at her, seeing her nod he turned and walked out with a smile on his face. He couldn't wait till tomorrow.

RIIING, RIIING!

Lorelai groaned and lifted a hand to bash the snooze button on her alarm clock. Three hits and a throw later she realised that it wasn't the alarm that was making the annoying but rather the phone. She picked up the phone from her bedside table.

"You are so not in Marcel Marceaus good books right now." She groaned into the receiver.

"Kirk giving you nightmares again?" Rory asked innocently.

"He's going through a mime phase at the moment, kid. I keep having this dream where Marcel Marceau looks exactly like Kirk and keeps miming acts that I'll tell you about when you're 21. But to the point love, it is SEVEN IN THE MORNING on a Sunday!!"

"As much as I'm sure you want to get backs to Kirks ludicrous activities. I have a dilemma. I have a lunch with Logan and I don't know what to wear. Besides, you should be all pre-rested up by now."

"And you're asking me at SEVEN!?" Although she refused to admit it, she was completely awake by now and walking down stairs to get coffee.

"Well, I have to do stuff today, revision, reading, writing, life in general and I needed to get ready early. Help me out and I'll give you gossip!" She knew that there was always a way to wake her mother up and get cooperation in one swift movement.

"Mommy's interested now. Dress up as Barney." She teased, starting up the coffeemaker, Gregory, with her spare hand.

"It's nothing Kinky this time mum!" Rory rolled her eyes at her mothers antics, "We're just going out for coffee… it is very good gossip mum!"

"Mmkay then, I think you should wear… your skinny blue jeans… with a white t-shirt and that blue headband you stole from me." Lorelai mentally flipped through Rory's wardrobe. "It has that, 'I look completely fabulous, but it's not because I had to call my mother and ask for help' look. So now, gossip, spill." Straight to the point as always.

"So, I was coming home from a fantastic date with Logan, and he was dropping me off… very gentleman like, when who do you think was there? Jess! Logan and I…" It felt good knowing that all was good between the Gilmore girls again.

Rory sat at her desk in the Yale Daily News office typing furiously. She needed to finish her article before her caffeine buzz wore off, which was over five minutes ago. She sighed happily to herself as she pressed the send button and sent her article in to be proof read by the editor.

"Ready Ace?" Logan stood in front of her desk, staring at her, she had no idea how long he had been there and he had startled her.

"Oh, you startled me… sure, let's go." She picked up her purse and walked towards the exit, Logan couldn't help but admire her. If she had looked amazing last night as Audrey Hepburn, she looked heavenly as Rory Gilmore.

"… Gosh! Who knew that straw could be so disastrous around Finn!" Rory laughed, listening to Logans Finn anecdote from the previous night as they walked into a small burger bar.

"Yeah, it took Colin and I two hours to get him still and clean up some of the mess." They took a seat by the window and flipped through the old menus. Rory decided that she liked the place, it reminded her a little of Luke's, only with a much larger college scene.

Logan was shifting uncomfortably in his seat. He put his menu down and looked Rory in the eyes.

"I wanted to talk to you about something last night… before we were interrupted… and I thought I could talk to you about it now." He fidgeted with his hands as he spoke.

"Is this the something about you being serious and wanting to try… who knows what? Because I don't do kinky Logan." She smiled at him, he wanted to kiss her, never stop kissing her, but in order for him to do that he would have to talk now, kiss later.

"Well Ace, plenty of time to change your mind later…" He laughed a little when she blushed, "But what I really wanted to say was that I like you. I like you a lot. When I asked you out I thought I was setting myself up for something more… you're a girlfriend girl Rory, and I think I'm ready to be a boyfriend boy… with you."

"Um… wow." Rory couldn't help but feel the complete sincerity coming from him. Was he serious? Did he want to be her boyfriend? Did she want to be his girlfriend? Was she ready to have a relationship again? This was only her second official date! She had only known him for a couple of months! What if he was messing with her? What if he hurt her? But what if he was serious? What if he made her happy? What if she fell in love?

"I'll let you think about it." Logan said, trying to hide that he was a little hurt by her indecisive reaction.

"Yeah, think about it… I just… need to think…" Her eyes were never fully with him for the rest of their lunch, they were off somewhere else, deep in thought.

AN: YAY! It's the holidays! That doesn't just mean shopping, Christmas, parties and friend… but also more frequent updates! Not that they weren't frequent enough already…
