A/N: So thanks many times again to all those who read and review for this fic. I'm slowly losing motivation for this story but yall are the ones who keep me writing it. Sorry it's took so for me to update. I've been super busy as always. Like previous chapters, actual quotes from the show (which have been shortened and edited to fit my purposes) will be italicized. I know it's not how it happened in the show but I borrowed the quotes to fit my own unique story line. Anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter and keep reading and reviewing….you're my inspiration!!
Rory was surprised at how easily she fell for Logan. The two had been dating for a couple of weeks, mostly dinners, movies, parties, etc. but had both decided to be non-exclusive. Rory agreed that she only wanted a friends with benefits relationship, claiming that her last real relationship had failed miserably. She fell head over heels in love with Jess, just to be disappointed and be left heartbroken. So she agreed with Logan and told him that she was more than fine with the no strings attached relationship. However, Rory began to fall hard for Logan. She couldn't stand to see him with other girls, found herself daydreaming about constantly, and wanting to spend every moment with him. She was quite surprised how easily she let him into her life after her previous disaster. Rory was determined that she wasn't going to lose him to another girl that he casually dated while dating her. She was determined to make Logan be exclusive with her.
Rory and Logan were sitting in Logan's dorm room discussing their plans for the evening when Rory blurted out, "I can't do this anymore."
"Do what?"
"The casual dating thing. It's not who I am and I don't want to make it who I am."
"We talked about this," Logan said trying to avoid the subject. He liked Rory, he really did, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for a commitment, no matter how small of a commitment it was. "I didn't make you do this," he continued.
"I know. I just can't do this anymore," Rory replied. At this time, Logan got a call from someone on his phone. Rory could see that she was getting nowhere with this. She desperately wanted him to change his ways for her but she could see that she was failing. She knew it would break her heart but her heart would have been broken worse if she let their no strings attached relationship to continue. After Jess, she didn't trust guys or love for that matter and she was quite surprised that she had let Logan this far into her life. "We're done," Rory said walking out of the room. She walked outside and stood up against the dorm's walls and sighed heavily. It had to be done Rory. I could not have let this continue for weeks or months. I just can't. I deserve more, Rory assured herself. Rory regained her composure before Logan came running out of the apartment.
"Ace!" Logan screamed just to be surprised that she was still standing outside of his dorm. "Alright, fine, I'll do it."
"Do what?" Rory asked uneasily.
"I'll be your boyfriend. It's new and different but I can do," Logan replied in a pleading manner. Rory smiled at Logan and jumped in his arms, which he responded to by tightly embracing her and joining her in a passionate kiss.
The next couple of months passed by very quickly as Rory and Logan exclusively dated. Rory instantly fell in love with him. He was the complete opposite from Jess but seemed to complete her. And Rory's family approved of Logan. Lorelai somewhat approved of him, at least more than Jess. Richard and Emily instantly approved Logan and accepted him into their granddaughter's life. He was of money, society, reputation, and most importantly, he was in love with Rory. They constantly spent time together, whether they were on a date or with friends. Rory loved the way she felt with him: the butterflies that were in her stomach whenever he touched her, the way she was giddy with him, and the way she constantly thought about him whenever he was gone. She was in love. It quickly became their three month anniversary and the couple decided to celebrate by going to dinner.
Rory and Logan sat on the couch, where they had been sitting for the past half hour, wrapped in each other's embraces passionately kissing each other.
"What time is our reservation?" Rory asked Logan in between kisses.
"Now," Logan replied after a quick kiss.
"It's amazing what can happen when you can't find your car keys."
"I think we should order in tonight," Logan continued before trailing kisses down her neck.
Rory was about to respond when she was interrupted by a phone call from Lorelai. "Hey Mom…yea, I'm good…yes Logan's doing fine too…ok…yea…I'll see you for Friday night dinner." She hung up with her mom and faced Logan who sweetly kissed her before she was allowed to say anything. "I'm hungry. Are you ready to go?" Rory asked as she stood up from the couch. She searched the room for her car keys but wasn't able to find them. She turned to Logan asking, "Where did I put my car keys?"
"Oh, I think I saw them on the couch," Logan replied pulling her back down on the couch to initiate another make-out session. Who needs food when you have love? Rory thought.
Rory and Logan's relationship further intensified as the months continued. Before they knew it, it was time for summer break. Over the break, Rory and Logan spent as much time together as possible. Rory would take turns visiting Logan in Hartford when he wasn't on a trip for his father and Logan in turn would visit Rory in Stars Hollow. Their summer consisted of several spontaneous trips and Life and Death Brigade happenings, so they spent a lot of time together but not as much as they did at Yale. Despite not being able to spend as much time together, their relationship only strengthened over the summer. She missed not being able to see everyday thanks to conflicts in work schedules, so she gladly accepted the start of her junior year, not only for Logan but because she generally enjoyed college.
Rory sat in her bedroom floor neatly packing all of the essential books that she needed to take with her to Yale. She was currently on her fifth box and she still had an entire set of encyclopedias to pack. Where will I find the room? Rory questioned herself. Rory was about to find another box when she was interrupted by a phone call from Paris.
"Hello?" Rory said into her cell phone while she struggled to pack another book in the box with her free hand.
"Rory, I have bad news."
"Yea?" Rory replied not really interested.
"You're going to have to find another roommate for your apartment this year."
"What?" Rory questioned suddenly more aware of the conversation. "I thought we were getting the apartment together?"
"We were. That is, until Doyle asked me to move in with him." Paris informed Rory. Paris and Doyle began to date at the same time that Rory and Logan began to date and their relationship was just as intense.
"Aw, Paris! That's so sweet!"
"I know. But you're not mad, are you?" Paris asked concerned. "I'm sorry to do this with such short notice but it was a last minute decision."
"No, no…it's fine. I promise," Rory assured Paris. The two finished talking about a school related issues that were of no great importance before they hung up the phone. As soon as Rory hung up with Paris, Logan called Rory.
"Hey Ace!"
"Hi," Rory responded not as enuthasitic as usual.
"What's wrong?"
"Paris just skipped out on our apartment and I have to find a replacement roommate for her or I won't be able to afford rent for my apartment."
"Has your lease started?"
"No, not yet. It doesn't start until I move in. Why?"
"Well, you could let your apartment go and room with someone who is looking for a roommate."
"Do you know of anyone is looking for a roommate?"
"Well, they don't necessarily have an extra bedroom but they do need a roommate."
"What? What are you talking about Logan?" Rory questioned Logan confusedly.
"My apartment is way too big for just one person and it'll get very lonely here at nights…." Logan started and let his words trail off.
"Logan, no. I couldn't. I don't want to impose."
"Rory, you wouldn't be imposing. I want you hear."
"Logan, I don't know," Rory said skeptical. Although they had been dating for almost a year, she didn't know if she was ready to move in with him yet or not. She sort of felt that they were moving too fast. Besides, what would Lorelai think about it? On the other hand, she really loved him and it would take their relationship to the next level. She fully felt that they were ready for that type of commitment and she gladly accepted it.
"Yes you do. I'll be at your house at nine tomorrow morning to help you pack and move into my apartment.
"Ok, see you tomorrow," Rory said before hanging up the phone with a smile. He did have a way of persuasion with her.
A/N: Ok, so I didn't really like this chapter. It's pretty much the same as Scenes of Love with Jess. But it was necessary to cover a huge span of time. Hopefully, inspiration will hit me and the next chapters will be better. Please Review!! Loved it or hated it? 3
