The day after
We all woke up by 11 and made our way to the dining room. Mom and dad where sitting there and we all entered in different stages of our hangovers.
"How was the party?" Mom asks as we sit down.
"It was alright for me but ask Steph because she had the best night out of all of us" I answer
"Do I want to know?" Dad asks
"No" we all say quickly as the maid brings out the bacon, eggs, sausage, waffles and pancakes.
"So I'm guessing you girls are going to have a movie day with those hangovers your sporting?" Mom asks and dad finally takes a proper look at us.
"Hangovers? Does that mean you were drinking last night?" Dad starts with his protective thing.
"It was just a party Mr. Hayden held by some senior guys we are friends with that we met at Richard and Emily's Christmas party" Paris tells dad trying to make him feel better that his in-laws actually know the boys families.
"Ok I'm guessing I don't want to hear anymore" he says as he gets up and leaves the table towards his office.
"So dish tell me what happened" mom says now dad is out of the room.
We told her everything that happened including about Logan and Francie.
"I can't believe he did that" she says
"I can, he is a rich playboy plain and simple" I say after finishing my brunch.
"But you are my beautiful, smart, stunning and delightful offspring with her own fortune" mom says in only a way that she can.
"He seems to like his girls easy" I add as I give her the drop it look and she starts asking Steph about her night.
"Colin is really cool apart from being a bit of a snob. I think I might like him but we will see what happens on Monday at school as he has my number" she tells us and we just look at her mom has no idea what she got up to last night and I'm glad because she would be shocked we were and we got the abridged version.
"Well girls I will tell Leah we want all manner of junk snacks brought into the home theatre and let's veg out for the afternoon" I say and lead the girls down the back of the house and we all make ourselves comfortable and watch clueless, grease and pretty woman.
By the time we finish watching them all we are finally no longer hung over we decided to head out for dinner to our favourite Chinese restaurant. We all jump in Steph's car and make our way to China palace.
We head inside and are seated and start to order all our food to share and our drinks.
After 10 minutes I notice a familiar group of guys enter "oh my god" I say as I put my head down.
"What's wrong Gilmore?" Paris asks as her back is to the door.
"The boys just walked in" I say taking a mouthful of drink.
I try to act casual and we talk about what everyone got up to last night. Soon the boys are lead straight pasts our table to the table next to us.
"Hey darlings fancy seeing you here" Finn says
"Hey Finn, we are just grabbing dinner after being couch potatoes all day" I say
"Nursing hangovers were we ladies?" Robert asks
"Yes as a matter of fact" Paris says in only a way Paris can.
"So what did your Dad say Rory about the hangovers?" Logan asks
"He didn't like it but mom took care of it she kind of like a big sister to us rather than my mom" I say and he raises his brow in shock.
Just as he is about to say something our food starts to come out.
"If you will excuse us we have some food to devour" I say as we all dig in and start dishing up some rice, kung pow chicken, lemon chicken, Szechuan pork and sweet and sour pork along with dumplings and spring rolls and money bags it's more than we can eat but we like our options when gorging on food.
We spend the next 45 mins eating and joking and talking away about everything.
"So Steph what happened with Colin last night?" I ask her in a hushed tone while the others are all engrossed in their own world.
"We did it" she says "we had sex not like it's my first time" she adds and continues to eat.
I think about what she said and I sometimes feel I'm just behind the pack because of being so shy. Maybe I am a Mary, maybe I need to loosen up, maybe just maybe I need someone like Logan to help me live a little.
Logan's POV
No one gets up at Colin's till late in the afternoon and after enjoying a few drinks we call the car service to take us down to China palace for dinner.
We enter the restaurant and are being greeted by the maitre'd as I look around I see them all there talking away including Rory and she looks so calm, relaxed and beautiful. We follow our waitress to our table and of course we are seated next to them and of course Finn notices and says "Hey darlings fancy seeing you here"
The first to respond like always is Rory "Finn we are just grabbing dinner after being couch potatoes all day" Like she is their little ring leader.
I chuckle and realise their hangovers wrote off their Saturday.
"Nursing hangovers were we ladies?" Robert teases just waiting to get a bite and of course it comes from paris.
"Yes as a matter of fact" she says in and aggressive tone that is telling Robert to back the hell up.
Knowing the way her dad acted at Christmas I wonder how he dealt with her today.
"So what did you Dad say Rory about the hangovers?" I ask
She replies " he didn't like it but mom took care of it she is like a big sister to us rather than my mom" I look back at her in shock just as I was about to ask about that their food shows up.
"If you will excuse us we have some food to devour" and they all dig in we take our seat but look to see how much food they ordered they won't get through that I think not by half but we keep to ourselves and order drinks and food to share like the girls.
We sit and talk about crap like usual but the Finn whispers in my ear "Are you ever going to try and see what's there with reporter girl or what?" He asks me and i sit and think while also looking over at her seeing her carefree laughing having fun. I wish I could bring those feelings out of her. "I said I will see how it goes I'm not rushing her or pushing her" I tell him through gritted teeth.
All the guys are now staring at me and Finn but I'm so glad to see the food get placed down in front of us I start to dish up and eat.
After 20 minutes I look over and see Steph and Rory in an intimate conversation knowing girls she will be asking about what she and Colin did last night. We all know what they did he has been on cloud nine ever since and is seriously tempted to ask her out. I see after their conversation she seems a little distant wonder what she is thinking about.
20 minutes later the girls take their leftovers and leave I watch her leave and I sigh as she disappears out of sight.
"Cut the crap huntz ask her out for Christ sake" Colin says to me loud enough for the whole table to hear " if you don't I sure as hell might" Robert says and I just glare at him, so much for a friend I scoff.
"It's not like that" I say
"Bullshit" Finn calls out
"Your already pining for her and she just left" Seth says to me.
"I am not" I say back to them but I know I'm just denying myself.
I leave 100 on the table to cover my share and whatever else and walk out needing to be alone from them.
"See you at school on Monday guys" I say as I leave I grab a cab outside and head home.
I get there and the house is empty thank god mom and dad are not home I go to my room get my phone out and call the one person I know will talk straight to me and I respect her.
"Baby brother to what do I owe this call on a Saturday night" honour says
"I need some sisterly advice" I say
"Wait your asking me for advice it must be big" she responds.
"You remember Rory yeah?" I ask
"The girl you kissed at the Gilmore party of course." She says
"Well the boys and I have become friends with her and the girls and ..." I can't seem to find the right words
"You like her don't you and by what I saw of that kiss there is definitely chemistry so what are you going to do?" She cuts me off.
"I don't know because I know she not like all the other girls I get with she not a random hook up she deserves more but I don't know if I can do more" I tell her confirming all the doubts in my head.
"Logan all I can say is what's the harm in trying?" She says in that soft sisterly tone.
"That I will have a bunch of hers and my friends ready to kill me if it goes wrong" I say confirming my worst fear of us together.
"But I don't know if she would take me after last night" I say
"What did you do?" She asks with and annoyed tone
"I kinda slept with the sluttiest girl in her year at Colin's party and she drank herself silly and I mean silly for someone that doesn't drink she had to have had half a dozen shots of tequila and who knows how many vodkas" I tell her
"Logan you can be so dense sometimes you need to talk to her and sort this out then see if she is willing to date you if not you just have to wait till she is ready for you if ever but next time you date or sleep with someone try not to show it off" she says and hangs up the phone obviously annoyed with me. I get changed into my boxers and I lay back and think till I hear a message come through on my phone.
*Are you ok* Finn
I respond
*Fine just needed time to think and speak to honor* I send back
*Dont worry dude she will date you just talk to her 359-264-818 you can thank us later* Finn
Seriously he got her number for me.
*Hey Rory its Logan are you free to talk*
*Why do you want to talk to me?*
*because I need to*
*Call me in 5 mins*
I sit and wait the 5 minutes like she said then call.
She answers on the second ring.
"This better be important Logan I was trying to do my weekend homework" she says impatiently
"Rory would you ever think about going on a date with me?" I ask he straight out
"You want to go out with me?" She asks dumbfounded
"Yes that's what i said" I confirm to her
"But I'm just plain Rory" she replies
"You are anything but plain but i can tell you more about that the next time I see you privately on a date" I say making it known that I want to go on a date with her.
"Let me think about it I will give you and answer at school on Monday" she says
"I guess that will have to do see you on Monday" I say and hang up.
I can't believe I have to wait till Monday.
*i called and asked her out she making me wait till school for the answer* I message to Finn
*Seriously that girl has game perfect match for you hey huntz* he replies
I look at the clock it's only 10 pm i guess I can make use of a night in and get onto some of my homework if I'm going to get into Yale like the rest of my family did.
I hit the sack at midnight and dream of a blue eyed brunette that has ensnared my senses.
Another chapter and I hope you all like it. I am having so much fun writing this one.
