Monday night's alright for Romance
Rory Gilmore was nervous she's never been so nervous in her life, well that was an understatement she was nervous her first day of Chilton, First day at Yale, when she first kissed Dean she was more scared than nervous. The point is Rory was nervous because she was about to have a movie night with all her friends and the one boy that she can't get out of her mind. Rory was standing over her bed looking for the right outfit that would impress him and make it look like she wasn't trying too hard, She looked at her blue sweater that her mom had given her for her birthday, blue always made Rory's eyes pop out so she thought she'd wear that but then she couldn't think of what jeans to wear or to wear earrings she was so out of it her stomach had butterflies, ever since she sang that song with Logan she couldn't stop thinking about him, She was so deep in thought about him that she crashed into someone's locker door close it successfully with her head, not that the trauma was excruciating or anything. Anyways Rory was out of it she couldn't think straight, She had asked Steph and Rosemary to come over early to help her set up and so she could talk to them about Logan, When the doorbell rang she knew it was them and was so happy that she could stop staring at the clothes that were scattered around her bed, casting one more glance at her blue sweater Rory ran to the door before her friends got impatient and rang the doorbell a million times.
RING…RING…RING..RING!
"OKAY I'M COMING!" Rory yelled to the people behind her door. She heard a giggle in response.
"Hi! Hi!" They said in unison
"Hi, was it really necessary to ring my doorbell a million times, I'm pretty sure one was enough to get me up and open the door, if I didn't answer by the third one your feelings would have been hurt."
"Well we needed to be in the door faster since we only have an hour to talk about Logan before Logan himself actually shows up" Rose said breathlessly the girls had become fast friends and had worn off on each other especially Rory's way of ranting without breath.
"OK, Ok I'm ready to talk about him" Steph said happily while getting herself comfortable on Rory's couch.
"So first things first: How do you feel about him?"
"Well before I thought of him as a friend but ever since I sang that song" Rory took a deep breath "I don't know what to think but for one thing, I've fallen for my best friend"
"Awww" Steph and Rose said together
"Guys. That doesn't mean anything, for all I know he doesn't feel the same way and I'll be liking him for the rest of my life being a reporter that isn't happy being a grumpy old lady who yells at little children"
"Rory that's not going to happen. One because you are too hot not to get married to your perfect match, two he feels the same way"
"Wait he feels the same way?" Rory asked shocked in disbelief that he would ever feel the same way
"Honey the minute he started singing that song with you, you pulled him in. His eyes were twinkling like yours did when you were singing. He also can't stop thinking about you, it's part of the conversation he was having with Collin and Finn when we sat down, but he's scared of getting hurt sweetie. Make sure that if you guys get together you need to make sure he can trust that you won't break his heart like his first girlfriend."
"I'm scared too. I have a crush on the playboy of Chilton, I don't want to get hurt, I don't want him to say that he's into the relationship and feed me all this crap and then he'll end up cheating on me with one of the many girls who will be trying to kill me. If we got together I mean" Roy said breathlessly.
"Honey you guys have to talk to each other. Deal with it together because you both like each other, it's been obvious since the two of you met."
"I agree with Steph, when he first met you he couldn't take his eyes off of you, it was so cute" Rose said excitedly, she knew that Rory and Logan liked each other they were just so stubborn and kept denying their feelings now that that they finally figured out that they liked each other she wasn't going to sit and let them not be together, Rose and Steph had made a plan to get Rory and Logan to be as close as possible the entire night.
"Okay guys I get it. I'm not giving up on being with him, I'm fighting for my man" Rory said with a smirk on her face.
"YA! GIRL!" Steph and Rose exclaimed just as the doorbell rang announcing the boys presence
"I better get that before Finn becomes impatient and decides to try and knock my door down like last time." Rory said running to her door as the impatient boys continued to assault her doorbell. Just as Rory opened the door wide enough she saw a blur as Finn tried to break her door down and crash into the wall landing on the ground in a tangled mess . Rory Logan and Collin burst into laughter as they looked at Finn trying to untangle himself. Rose and Steph came out of the kitchen watching confused as the three laughed hysterically.
"What was that loud thud?" Steph asked first
"That would be Finn being impatient and trying to knock my door down, again!" Rory said the end in exclamation trying to sound mad but she couldn't help but laugh as she looked over at Finn who was still tangled. She couldn't help but wonder how he had tangled himself up the most that should have happened was that he just went full force on the wall but what you'd expect is unexpected when it came to Finn.
"Finn you're the most impatient person I've ever met!" Rose said laughing as he struggled some more in his uncomfortable position.
"It was cold outside luv, I didn't like being out there, besides I was scared that short blonde lady was going to come out and pinch my butt. It's your fault for not opening the door fast enough"
Ror shook her head in understanding as the first time Finn met Babette she pinched his but several times before Finn could get out of town."
"Finn that isn't an excuse for trying to knock my door down, my mom and I are very fond of it, we named it and everything, we looked at it for days and got used to it in our house, buying a new one wouldn't be the same, the house would have been off center and then we would be cranky for the rest of our lives never to marry, all because you wanted to get into my house" Rory said in full out rant while the others stared at her in astonishment that was the stupidest rant she's had in years but at least it was better than her coffee rant especially if she hasn't had any, god that was a problem.
"Ace calm down, you got the door open when you did, saving your door. May we come in" Logan asked with his usual smirk.
"Yes please come in" Rory hadn't noticed him much because of Finn and his antics but he looked good, he was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans with his usual leather jacket that she's known for years. It was the only thing that he wore on a regular basis, She couldn't take her eyes off of him she was staring into his warm, expressive chocolate brown eyes. They were in a trance, a trance so deep that she didn't realize the rest of them calling for her attention.
"RORY!" Steph screamed with a smirk on her face.
"Huh? What'd I miss?"
"Oh nothing just that we should go set up the food" Rose said pointing towards the kitchen
"Oh yeah kay let's go, you guys can get settled the first movie is on top"
"Kay, ace"
The two boys started walking to the living room to get ready for the movie when a cry came out from the hall way.
"Uh Luv a little help here…" Finn said down on the ground in his tangled mess.
The girls laughed and pulled Finn soon as he was untangled he was off and in the living room with the other boys. The girls just giggled at Finn's antics, it was normal for Finn to be weird and unpredictable he was exoctic what could you do?
Logan, Collin and the now untangled Finn sat on the couch in hushed whispers as the girls were in the kitchen grabbing things, Logan knew his friends would be pestering him about the trance he was just in with Rory, he didn't know what to tell them, he just lost himself in her eyes, Logan made sure that tonight was the night that he would talk to Rory and tell her his feelings, he hoped by the end of the night he would be able to call her his girlfriend.
"Earth to Logan?" Collin asked waving his hand up and down in front of Logan's face
"Huh what?" Logan asked confused.
"Thinking about Rory again, mate" Finn said with a smirk
"No. I was just thinking about the amount of homework I still haven't done"
"Liar. I saw that look you gave her out in the doorway. Don't try to hide it from me" Finn said while Collin shook his head in agreement
"Just tell us that you are going to talk to her tonight"
"I will it's just I don't know what to say t-" Logan was cut off by the arrival of the girl that has been on his mind since he woke up this morning
"Hey! We come baring food" Rory said cheerfully Logan couldn't help but smile she was so cute when she was excited, He couldn't help but look at her, she was wearing Yale flannel pj bottoms with a pink long sleve that said Atlanta down the left side, her hair was in a bun with her bangs over her face she looked so cute he couldn't help but stare, Logan loved when Rory was dressed up in her normal clothes, uniform or when they had fancy dinner parties to go to because of their parents but seeing her in pj was his favorite look, when she had no make-up on and looked very comfortable, Logan had to look away but it was so hard when she looked so beautiful .
"So what movie are we watching first" Collin asked while hitting Logan so he could stop staring at Rory
"HSM3. Now don't kill me but I have the music on my ipod and I couldn't get the songs out of my head, plus it's romanitic and it'll remind us of how our high school isn't like theres with an entire garden devoted to one basketball player." Rory said ranting all over again
"It's okay, Ace just breathe in you'll be fine" (AN: know what song that's from? Hint: if you watch Degrassi think Clare and Eli song in his bedroom,)
"I just get so excited sometimes, I just can't help it" Logan just smiled she was so cute, too cute he wanted her so badly.
The gang sat through the first half of HSM3 without complaining until Troy and Gaberiaella started dancing ontop of the roof was Finn couldn't take it and decided to take out his alcohol. After he got drunk he started making jokes and singing along (Thanks to words being captioned). Rory, Steph and Rose sang along the entire time and Logan and Rory sang together when "Can I have this dance" came on again. When they put in Titanic and that ended you could hear silent weeping off to the side of the room… it was Finn.
"Finn why are you crying?"
"C'mon Finn it wasn't that bad" Rory said
"What's up buddy?"
"Did the movie get to you"
"I'm… all… out… of … Alcohol…" Finn said between sniffles ending in full blown hysterics as Finn cried harder.
"Oh god" Collin said slightly laughing
"Oh Finny… I'm sorry but you were only allowed a limit for alcohol anymore and you would be outside naked, which would upset kirk since he's the naked guy around town and then we'd have to save your ass from jail. It's all in the love Finny, don't worry you'll get more alcohol tomorrow"
"Tomorrow? Are you crazy luv…? I won't make it to tomorrow!" Finn said now crowning himself the drama queen
"Finn don't be a drama queen"
"I'm not being a drama queen, I just don't see why I had to have a limit"
"I already explained it to you now hush, you guys put in the next movie while I go get more snacks"
"Here I'll help you ace" Logan said while grabbing two bowls and following Rory to the kitchen.
Rory had already started to fill up the bowls she brought in when Logan walked into the Kitchen, She seemed so concentrated on the bowls, so distracted, She was only looking down in the bowl the entire time.
"Ace are you trying to burn a hole in the food before we can eat it, I know your eating habits, that's not going to end well if you keep doing that." Logan said with a smirk trying to lighten the mood, she seemed nervous he was too, this was his move the only chance he had to try to get Rory to understand what he wanted.
"huh?" Rory asked finally making eye contact with him, even for a brief moment it made him shiver with excitement
"Ace what's wrong? You seem very distracted tonight"
"Oh it's nothing"
"Rory" Logan said using her actual word, as long as Logan's known Rory he's always called her Ace it was his nickname, she was a great writer and reporter ever since she could write it was always good stuff. As Logan looked at her he could see the shock at him using her actual name
"Nothing Logan I'm fine, let's go back in there so they don't think someone kidnapped us"
"Okay, Rory you know if something's wrong you could tell me right?"
"Of course" Rory said as she walked out of the kitchen
"Damn" Logan swore as he followed her, that was his chance and he blew it, if he couldn't gather the courage to talk to Rory and express his feelings he was never going to get her.
Later in the Night
Titanic had just ended, everyone was asleep besides two people that were arguing over the movie itself:
"C'mon Ace he was meant to die!"
"How could you say that! He saved her life, he didn't deserve to die!" Rory said in disbelief
"He served his purpose in life, its right that he died; he died a hero, her own white knight"
"Ok so he was her hero but he should have at least lived, and been a happily ever after getting married like in her dream" Rory said getting angry
"Ace he was her hero, even though she couldn't find his history because he was listed in a different name, she barely knew him, it's right that he died in her honor he sacrificed his life for her, why can't he just die in her honor, what is so wrong with that!" Logan asked also getting angry
"Logan if you really think him dying like that is right; you're obviously not a very romantic person!" Rory yelled walking up the stairs to her room slamming the door hard waking up the others that were asleep
"Whoever just slammed that door is dead!" Steph yelled in her sleepy haze
"Seriously, you guys woke up from the door, but not our voices?"
"Well I've had practice sleeping through voices, what was that about?"
"She's mad because I think Jack should have died, while she thought he should have lived and they happily ever after like in her dream"
"Did you seriously get into a fight over a movie" Rose asked sleepily
"Yes, yes we did"
"You two are so stupid, the only time you have to talk to each other and you argue over a movie!" Collin asked in disbelief
"Um, yeah" Logan said hesitantly while scratching the back of his head
"God! Go up there and talk to her!" Finn yelled grabbing his head in pain
"OK!" Logan said in surrender
Logan took the journey up the stairs to Rory's room, as he reached the top he could hear music blasting through her door. She was like him when he was mad, blast the rock; it was the only thing that made you feel better. Logan stopped short in front of Rory's door, he held his hand in mid knock when he got scared, Logan Huntzberger has never been scared he never was scared to go talk to a girl, he was cocky and very sure that whatever he said to the girl would end with them in bed together while Logan silently snuck out before morning. Logan finally knocked on the door tired of the weakness he was showing. The door swung open to show a very angry Rory.
"What do you want? Do you want to tell me more about how Jack should have died!" Rory yelled slamming the door again.
"Ace c'mon I shouldn't have said that I'm sorry, please open the door" Logan pleaded with her
There was silence, and then the door slowly opened. Logan hesitantly walked into her room, to find Rory sitting on the bed, she seemed calm but still a little mad, at least she let him in. Logan walked over and sat next to her putting his arm around her shoulder in comfort,
"Rory, talk to me"
"What do you want me to say, I'm an emotional mess" Rory said in anger
"No you're not, you were protecting your opinion there's no problem with that"
"Logan how can you be so nice when I was so mean to you"
"Ace I can never be mad at you, you're to cute to be mad at" Logan said with a smile not realizing that he just admitted to her being cute, Rory of course the 'ace' reporter she was caught everything he said
"You think I'm cute?" Rory asked shocked
"Um.. yeah" Logan said hesitant of what she would say next
"Well, I think your cute too" Rory sad shyly, not making eye contact
Logan couldn't believe this conversation, before he lost her he had to make her listen to him, Logan reached over holding onto Rory's chin and making her have direct eye contact with him, Looking into her deep blue eyes he was ready to profess his feelings to her.
"Rory I think your more than cute, your beautiful, you take my breathe away. I like you more than just a friend, I hope you feel the same way or else I'm just sitting here for nothing, now I know your thinking that I'm a playboy and won't be totally committed to you, but I can and I'm determined to make you realize that I can be a boyfriend kind of guy I just need you to believe that and agree, I like you and I'm willing to tak-" Logan was cut of by Rory's lips on his, he was shocked at first but soon he knew that it was meant to be, it felt so right, they were kissing for a while, they soon broke apart when air became a need.
"Logan… I feel the same way." Rory said breathlessly.
"Good" Logan said kissing her again, Rory pulled away not letting him cloud her judgment, she wanted to be with him but she needed to tell him something before they made it official.
"Logan wait, before we become a couple I need to make sure I can trust you."
"Ace, you can trust me. I want you to know that I want all of you, everything you come with" Logan said uses lines from one of her favorite movies
"Good because I want you too. Just one more thing"
"What?"
"Logan I've been hurt before, to many times it hurts, I'm taking a leap by being with you, I just don't want you to hurt me, so promise me you wont hurt be or if you get bored with me you wont cheat on me behind my back"
"Ace, I would never intentionally hurt you."
"Good, all I ask is that you don't hurt me"
"I promise"
"Deal,"
"I say we seal it with a kiss"
Logan and Rory stopped their kiss just in time to catch the snowfall that was falling heavily outside,
"OH! ITI'S SNOWING!" Rory scream excitedly
"Ace, what's so exciting about snow?"
"Good things happen when it snows, c'mon let's go outside" Rory said repeating what her mother would say when it was the first snowfall
"Ace, it's like 5 degrees outside I'm not going to freeze my ass off"
"Aw are you scared your gunna lose your charm if you go outside?" Rory asked taunting him
"No" Logan pouted
"Then I don't see any harm in going outside"
"Fine"
Rory dragged Logan out of her room down the stairs and outside into the heavily battle of snow falling on the ground, She couldn't help but get excited, she was now dating the playboy of Chilton, he liked her and they were together. Rory started dancing on her lawn in circles; Logan watching her enjoy herself couldn't help but think that he was happier now more than ever with Rory, Watching her have so much fun. He joined her in her dancing, suddenly it was like high school musical being on top of the roof of the school, the only difference was that they were out on her lawn in the snow, the background music gave Logan the comfort that he had with Rory, As they became one and held each other being ready to dance the waltz.
[Rory]
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.
Logan and Rory were so entranced by each other that they didn't notice the audience they had. Collin, Steph, Finn, and Rose all stood in the doorway of Rory's house watching the couple sing to each other.
[Logan, Rory]
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next
(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
[Logan]
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you threw it all
[Logan, Rory ]
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are
(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
[Rory And Logan]
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
Still staring into each other's eyes, the contact was broken when Finn decided to let his and the others presence known.
"That was so romantic! Just like HSM3!" Finn gushed like a teenage girl.
"Oh hey guys didn't see you there." Logan said turning to his friends while Rory turned a deep shade of red.
"I noticed, since you were stariing into each other's eyes like a couple" Collin said staring at the two
"What was that little dance number all about?" Rose asked
"Oh nothing it was just dancing."
"No you were dancing like Troy and Gabriella did in HSM3" Steph said suspiciously
"Who?" Finn asked confused. They ignored it and continued with the questioning
"OH...MY…GOD! YOU GUYS ARE DATING!" Steph exploded jumping up and down and running towards Rory hugging her "FINALLY! "She screamed happily
"OK, ok were dating"
"When?"
"A few minutes ago"
"It's not one of your no strings relationships is it"
"No, Rory is my Girlfriend"
"And Logan is my Boyfriend"
"AWWWWW" Rose and Steph said in unison
"Ok we need to go inside before, you freeze to death, those girls at school tomorrow won't be able to touch you will be very disappointed. "
"Oh god I forgot about that…"
"Rory don't think about them think about us,"
"I like the sound of that" Rory said kissing Logan
The group headed back into the house and to sleep, it was going to be a long day…
