Hi everyone, sorry it took me awhile. I lost my muse in this story, but due to some reviews and the fact that this is my most popular work in progress I feel that I really got a clear idea of where this, and the sequel will be headed. Thanks everyone for reviewing your believe in this story killed my writers block. There actually will be one chapter after this.
After many seconds of making out under the stars, Logan whispered to Rory that they were going to a surprise location. Rory tried to get Logan to tell them where they were going, but Logan told her it was all part of the big surprise. That didn't stop Rory from pestering Logan about their location through out the drive.
"Seriously, Logan my mom will be worried sick if I'm missing from Stars Hollow for a really long time..."
"Wrong, I checked with Lorelai and she knows where you are, and she trusts us…"
"Great you confide in my mother, before me what does it say about us…" Rory glumly stated.
Logan smiled. "Ace, you really are the most impatient girl I've ever met…"
"And you're the vaguest and most infuriating man I have ever met in my life. " Rory uttered back to him.
Logan stared at Rory in amusement as he parked at their destination. "Ace your vocabulary is very entertaining, but we are at our destination."
"Finally…" Then Rory looked around, "Logan we're at your dorm! Was this your big mystery? You had me guessing for a place I've been many times.
"Ace take a deep breath the surprise is inside, and I swear you won't be disappointed. "
"Fine, but it better be good… "Rory said in exasperation as she followed Logan out of the car. They walked silently until they reached Logan's door.
Rory looked at Logan her heart pounded in anticipation. He slowly opened the door, and walked in. Rory looked around it wasn't what she expected. It was not a room decorated in flowers, streamers, and confetti. However, there were little knickknacks of small things in the main table in the common room. There was a picture of them on the table of them at the Chilton prom, some fortune cookies. She smiled as she remembered their date in the private room at General Lee's last week. She noticed a vase flowers in which were same ones her prom corsage had. She also noticed biscotti from the same coffee kiosk in which he gave her on the day she officially broke up with Jess. Rory noticed knickknacks from conversations as well like a small silver bell in which symbolized her telling him about the infamous Puff trouble.
Lastly, Rory noticed a first addition book of Robert Frost poetry. She noticed an inscription with the sentence. "If it's not morbid, you know it's Frost…" Rory smiled remembering their conversation about poetry, when she was studying for her final. Rory was on the verge of tears Logan could not think of a more perfect surprise to chose everything in which represented they've been through in their friendship and relationship to end their week together.
Logan sat right next to her, and pulled her close to him. "You shouldn't have written in the book it costs a fortune…" Rory leaned closer to him.
"Rory the book is yours, and before you protest you'll use the book more than it will in the library at the Huntzburger mausoleum. Trust me in the many years it was there only me, and possibly Honor when I told her to bring the book here. As you said it will probably look sad being in the library all these years… "Logan chuckled remembering a conversation he and Rory, when Rory was talking about some books to take out because Rory did not have any room to put them in her back pack from Europe.
"Well thank you, you really couldn't have gotten me anything more perfect. Not just the book, but everything on this table is so me, and everything I would like a guy to do but never did. " She felt tears coming down her cheek.
Logan whipped them away with his thumb. "No tears Ace, it's supposed to be a happy night…." He leaned in and kissed her in a way that was sweet and tender. Their kisses were usually the two of them not being able to keep their hands off each other, and full of passion. However, this one just they took slow to fill up an emotional need, and a need to explain that they both really cared about each other.
When they pulled away, Rory felt this need to ask Logan a question. Rory did not know what would possess her to ask a question, but she couldn't help it with the knickknacks and the kiss she just didn't understand Logan's actions.
Logan noticed Rory's face go very white, and said. "Rory what's wrong?"
"Logan can I ask you something you might not like?"
"Go ahead…."
"We've been doing this for a week, and you've treated me better more like your girlfriend than Jess ever did even on one of his good days. I don't understand why you feel you can't be in a relationship your great at it."
"Rory based on what you told me anybody can be a better boyfriend than Jess. "Logan chuckled.
"Logan, I'm serious you deserve better than those bimbos you date."
"Well, it's not about be not feeling like I don't the best. I know I do…"
"Wow, your ego managed to inflate I should really avoid complimenting you…" Rory said in exasperation there were times when Logan would joke instead of being serious.
"Truth is Ace I avoid things I have to work towards. I just want to have fun, while I still can. My whole life I'll have to work at a job I hate, and I might soon be pressured into a marriage I don't want. The second reason is I haven't had any good married role models. In my parents marriage there is coldness and infidelity, and it's the same for my friends' parents' marriage. "
"That must be tough; I've heard some gossip at the club. Hartford high society can be such a soap opera; yet, for a long time my grandparents were the only functioning relationship I've witnessed. "
"They do follow their own world…"
Rory found it strange in the way in which a question she had been so afraid to ask had only brought them closer. She realized something else about Logan he was the only person she could ever understand her grandparents world, plus he was the only person she could talk about her grandparents with ease.
"Rory can I ask you a question one you might not like?"
"Go ahead Logan? '
"Why do you date two guys who were wrong for you for a really long time? I mean I know that you told me you stayed with Jess because you were guilty, but their have to be other reasons. "
"Well I guess it's related to my mom. I love my mom she is my best friend, but I don't want her love life. She's been dating guys and writing them off the second there is a flaw. I guess I tried to hard to make them both work, because I didn't want to push away guys the way she does. I actually never admitted it to her…."
"Wow, I guess we have more in common than we think…." Logan said as he lightly stroked her hair. "You know I like your mom, but you're not Lorelai…"
"Um, actually that's my real name…" Rory joked.
"I'm serious I don't see you ever ending up alone. " Logan felt like punching the hypothetical guy, but he knew his Ace would find true love someday.
"And I don't see you in a love less marriage…" Rory said as he hugged him close. As much as Rory hated it she knew one day he would be in a good relationship.
They spend hour sitting there in each other's arms not talking just enjoying the feel of each others embrace. It wasn't the evening either of them expected, but they were content as they ignored tomorrow would be a day they dreaded. Their eyes fluttered as they both dozed off on the couch.
