"Unforgettable That's What You Are"
Chapter Nine
"You look very lovely tonight" Rory heard a whisper in her ears, her ears perked up with familiarity of her old lover.
"What do you want Logan?" she didn't move from her spot. "Shouldn't you be with your fiancée?"
"She is getting reacquainted with old friends" he whispered into her ear, like it was something he did all the time.
"Stop it Logan. You don't have grounds to be whispering like that anymore"
"I know Ace, and I want to make amends for all the things that has happened between us"
"Well it's all in the past now Logan. I am certainly over it now, and it looks like you have too"
"Seeing you… dressed in that dress I picked out for you. I still know how to pick dresses for you" he said with a smile.
"You picked this for me?" she looked abashed, "you have no right to be doing that any more Logan. It's something that should only be reserved for Alisha now!"
"I couldn't help myself Ace. I saw it and I had to buy it for you"
"Logan next time I will return it. I thought Rachel sent the dress over"
"Ace, don't be like that. I still love you so very much, you should know that. Can't you tell?" he looked her in the eyes as he said the words.
"That ship has sailed long ago Logan…"
"Rory here is your drink" Sam came back with a champagne flute for her, looking at the man standing next to her.
"Thank you Sam" she kissed him on the cheek.
"Sam Evans, Logan Huntzberger" she introduced the two men, watching them shake hands.
"Ah yes, I have met your friends Stephanie and Colin McCrae. Thank you for investing in our company Mister Huntzberger"
"Please call me Logan. And it is my honour to be investing in such a great company. I am a fan of your work! You have found such great athletes" Logan compliment Sam.
"Yes it is such a great thing to see such talent. And it is hard at time. I can't get everyone" he said with such sadness.
"You have a talent for keeping a real eye opener"
"And I have heard you are thriving in your chosen field as well Logan"
"Yes business is going great. I have a fantastic team"
"Excuse me gentlemen. I see a friend from Yale" Rory excused herself, knowing the men would be talking sports soon. The two men smiled at her and she went on her way, needing to get away from the man that she used to love with all her heart and soul, and the man that she wanted to get to know.
"Rachel!" Kurt smiled at her friend, "I knew you would look amazing in that dress! I designed it with you in mind!" he twirled her around and then brought her in for a hug and a kiss.
"Thank you Kurt! I love it! You are amazing!" she gushed at her friend and looked around for Blaine.
"He saw some old friends from school" he explained for his partner's disappearance.
"Did you just arrive?" her friend nodded.
"I thought Puck couldn't make it?" he eyed the stage. Noah was singing a duet with a familiar face that she couldn't place.
"This icebreaker party was the reason he couldn't come" she said with a laugh.
"Now that is amusing" he agreed with a laugh. "I have a surprise for you. He will be here soon. He had to stop off to get something, and he will be here" he talked in cryptic again.
Rachel eyed him, and wondered who could possibly be coming, and she looked up at the moment and realised who it was.
"OMG Finn!" she said with excitement, jumping into the man's arms and kissing him on the cheeks.
"Rachel Barbara Berry!" he laughed at her enthusiasm, and hugged her tightly, spinning her in the air like Noah had.
"Surprise!" Kurt said with a laugh, "I knew you would absolutely love it!" he conceded with pride.
"I thought you couldn't make it either?"She looked up at him.
"Yeah well I wasn't sure if I could. I was going to visit Kurt and Blaine for the week"
"But I told you it was in New York" she said with a laugh.
"And I know, I realised that Kurt and Blaine were in New York as well!" he said with a laugh
Finn and his usual ways she smiled at herself.
"So tell me how you have been?" she asked him, looking him up and down. She hadn't seen him in almost seven years.
"I have been great. I am now head coach of Lima High and also Glee club" he said with a laugh.
"That is fantastic!" she told him proudly.
"And you are now a famous Broadway star! I always knew you could do it!"
"Yes you always believed in me didn't you?"
"Yes I did! You are such an amazing person Rachel, and you look amazing in Kurt's dress!"
"Thank you Finn" she went red with embarrassment, "and you look dashing in your black and white tux!" she complimented him.
"Puck sounds fantastic!" Finn commented on his old best friend.
"Yes he sounds amazing! He has been in New York for two years!" she said with utter amazement.
"Yes I know, Kurt told me" they listened to Noah singing, 'Can't Bear the Thought'
I'm not sure
what to say right now,
cause sorry doesn't mean
anything anyhow.
I must have said
that word 3,000 times.
You look at me like
I've committed a crime.
You say that we
should spend some time apart,
but honestly,
that would kill my heart.
I think that we
should give it another try
cause you still love me
I can see it in your eyes.
Chorus:
All I need is
one more chance.
I promise that I'm
taking a stance.
a stance to change
my silly ways.
'cause I can't bear the thought
of losing you babe.
'cause I can't bear the thought
of losing you babe.
'cause I can't bear the thought
of losing you babe.
I know that I
have said these things before.
You said next time I
would be right out that door.
But you can't deny
that I've been getting better,
ever since you wrote me that long letter.
All I need is
one more chance.
I promise that I'm
taking a stance.
a stance to change
my silly ways.
'cause I can't bear the thought
of losing you babe.
All those stupid things I do,
never meant to hurt you.
My mind tends to get off track,
you always help to bring it back.
But with the thought of losing you,
I know just what to do.
'cause there ain't nothing in this world
that matters more!
All I need is
one more chance.
I promise that I'm
taking a stance.
a stance to change
my silly ways.
'cause I can't bear the thought
of losing you babe.
She felt like she was definitely the only person that was clueless of Noah being in New York. She looked on as she realised that she was in love with the man on the stage, and that she always had been. She glance over at her ex-lover next to her and knew he was definitely not the man for her like she had always thought all those years ago.
