Chapter seven
Logan POV
He was thrilled she had said yes but he was worried as to how she would cope with the stunt it was pretty dangerous and she wasn't really the type to be so adventurous.
They finished up the questioning and accepted her answer and so they decided it was time to take off the blindfold.
"Ok lovely we can take this off now" Seth reached behind her head and removed the cloth covering her eyes. She blinked several times as she adjusted to the light flooding her eyes. She looked around the room at them taking in thee faces around her; she looked so cute in his opinion.
He could tell something was wrong though when he noticed her tense up when she locked eyes with Robert but she moved on before he could comment on it; he made a note to ask her later.
"So this is the 'secret society' that kidnaps people from their work" They could all hear the teasing tone and knew she didn't mean anything by it.
"Well Love do you have any queries about the agreement or anything else" Finn was making sure they had everything under control because if they forgot something today then Colin would be a nightmare to live with for the next two weeks.
"No I think I'm good thanks but now I have to go grab lunch and get back to my work which you so rudely dragged be away from" She smiled at them and moved to gather her things and left closing the door softly behind her.
The others let out a sigh of relief they didn't realise they were holding when she was gone, that had been rather simple questions withstanding. Now they just had to make sure that everything went smoothly during the event and they could put this whole stressful ordeal behind them.
"Well that went rather well" Steph remarked dryly as they all settled around the room to relax, thinking about what had just occurred "She seemed to handle that rather well and you could tell she was dying of curiosity. This might be a good idea; she will make the group sound even more exclusive and mysterious than it already is"
"Yeah it went fine now if you'll excuse me I have to go to the newsroom about an article or I'll be getting a call from Satan" Everyone knew Logan's dad always made a big deal about how many by-lines he got and if the number wasn't good enough he would call and berate Logan. That wasn't something anyone liked because it usually put him in a foul mood for days and none of them wanted to deal with that.
He left his room amid the goodbyes from the others and made his way to the YDN. As he entered the room his eyes were immediately drawn to her as she sat sitting at her desk typing away at her computer.
He decided against talking to her straight away and walked over to Doyle to talk articles.
"Doyle my good man how are you today?" He smirked as he saw Doyle immediately begin to sweat and cower at the sight of the Huntzberger heir in front of him.
"Fine Logan and how is the family?" He could tell Doyle was starting with the kissing his ass early this year.
"The family is good you know how it is. Now I need an article to keep that pretty picture in my father's head and him out of the newsroom so what have you got for me?" He knew the mention of his father would get Doyle's attention, he revered his father but he terrified him even more than Logan did.
"Well I have an article on financial types for the average college student but I don't think it is up your alley"
"Yeah I agree anything else?" He was sounding a little desperate but he needed to keep his father away from Yale.
"I do need someone to do a biography piece on Professor Asher Fleming since he died over the summer, you interested?" It was clear Doyle also wanted to keep Huntzberger senior away and wanted Logan to take the article if it meant achieving that.
"I'll take it when do you want it?"
"Get it to me by Thursday for Friday's edition"
"Thanks Boss" Logan was feeling more cheerful now that he had a story and knew if he got stuck he could always get his beautiful wife to help him.
Thinking of her he glanced over at her desk only to see she had left while he was talking with the editor. He contemplated calling her but soon realised he would be late for a lunch date with his sister so he headed out.
Trix's POV
It still looked as lovely as ever as she walked through the door of her home in Hartford. She was glad she managed to keep her arrival a secret from her son and his wife, she still felt bad about Emily finding that letter but she wasn't about to tell her that.
She knew when her granddaughter gave her families the news of her marriage to the young Huntzberger things would get very hard but her darling was a Gilmore and she was made of stronger stuff than most and could survive anything but it would be painful to talk to her mother.
The two girls were so close that when Lorelai found out that Rory had gotten married without telling her to someone she only knew for two months she was going to raise the roof.
She knew that the Huntzberger's also wouldn't take this well, they would assume her darling girl was pregnant and wanted to trap Logan for his money but if they so much as dared to accuse her of something like that she would go to Elias. He was a very good old friend to both her and her late husband and he knew she would not tolerate her family being spoken ill of when his own son married his wife because he had gotten her pregnant after a brief fling.
They planned to have dinner this Friday with Richard, Emily and Lorelai to tell them the news, then it was brunch with the Hayden's on Saturday ending with dinner that evening with the Huntzbergers. It would be a long tiring two days but it was best to get the truth out there amongst the families before the press caught wind of it and that wouldn't be long with Rory's inheritance getting announced soon someone would be bound to do some digging into her life and find the licence. She would do whatever it took to protect her darling
Honor POV
She could tell something about her brother had changed over the past few months, he was kinder and more open since his trip to Europe over the summer. She knew him better than he knew himself at times but she couldn't figure out what was the reason for this change and it was driving her mad.
She figured she would find out at this lunch. She parked her car and handed the keys to the valet as she stepped into the classy restaurant that the two siblings often ate lunch at, Logan had called her and said he had something to talk to her about and it had to be before this weekend.
She could see him sitting at their favourite table nursing a small glass of scotch as he waited for her to get there.
"Sorry baby brother I was with Josh and lost track of time" she watched him as she kissed his cheek and took her seat opposite him. He looked good, no sign of a hangover which was unusual and no sign of any recent confrontation with their dad which was even better.
They ordered their meals and made small talk as they waited for it to arrive, Honor knew her brother when it came to him wanting to talk, he had to work up to it and she felt comfortable giving him the time to do so. It was after their appetiser plates were taken away when she lost her patience.
"Well you said you wanted to talk I'm here so talk" She could see him take a deep breath and began to worry about what he wanted to say.
"I'm married" She just sat there in shock, did her baby brother just say he got married. She didn't know what to think.
"Seriously married?"
"Yeah in Europe over the summer, I saw her in a café and she was just an angel. It took me a couple of days to talk to her, we hung out and then I asked her if I could follow her through Europe on her trip and she said yes"
"Not seeing how this makes you married"
"Our last stop was London to visit her Great Grandmother and while we were there we walked past this tiny chapel and I thought I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I ask she says yes and with her Gran as a witness we got married in that tiny church the next day, it was special"
"Wow so who is she? What's her name? Where does she live and stupid question but do Mom and Dad know"
"No they don't, her name is Rory Gilmore Hayden-she is Emily and Richard's granddaughter and she is also the Hayden heiress, this is what I plan on announcing at the dinner on Saturday but I knew I had to tell you first".
Honor could tell her brother was nervous about her reaction but she couldn't think clearly other than to see if this girl is good enough for her brother and if he really did love her.
She loved Logan she did but he had a habit of screwing up when it came to women and she didn't want this girl to get caught in the fallout.
"Well what is she like?" she was reserving judgement for now
"She's amazing she's got this crazy personality, a coffee addiction, a loving relationship with her mother and she's extremely dedicated to her studies she wants to be a journalist- an overseas correspondent and no she's not with me for the connections. She's too sweet for that kind of behaviour and no she's not pregnant"
Honor could tell her brother was serious about this, he loved this girl she could tell by the way he talked about her, the way his face lit up and his eye glowed. She could only hope the wife felt the same way; if she did Honor wouldn't have any problem with her and told her brother as much.
"Thanks Honor it means a lot to me that you're on board with this"
"Don't worry I'll be at dinner to meet her and to back you up with the parents"
The pair finished their lunch and left the restaurant to go their separate ways him back to Yale and Rory and her back to Josh. It had been a successful afternoon out and both felt better but couldn't help but wonder at the reactions they were going to see this weekend.
Well that's another chapter done and I would just like to thank everyone who reviewed it is appreciated and I hope you continue to like the story.
