School and a second date
Rory's POV
I wake up to my alarm at 630 and get up and take my shower get dressed and go down stairs for some coffee and waffles.
"How was last night sweets?" Mom asks as I sit to eat.
"It was really nice, dinner and seeing a band at a bar then he brought me home" I tell her and I dig into my waffles I look at the time when I'm half way through and realise Steph will be here any minute. I grab my bag and my coffee by the time I get out the door Steph and the girls are waiting.
"Sorry I know I'm running late" I gush as I hop in and we make our way to school.
"It's all right we understand your mind may be on a certain blonde haired young man" Paris says
"It's not that just lost track of time" I reply and drink my coffee.
We make our way towards our lockers when we are met by the boys.
"Morning ladies" Robert says
"Hi guys" we reply as we get to our lockers
"So how was you date last night?" Seth asks and I look around trying to see if Logan is with them.
"It was good" is all I say to them
"No we need more than it was good" Finn says
"You know I enjoyed the band and the company was good too" I say not giving anything away.
As I grab my books out I feel his presence "morning Rory" he whispers in my ear and I turn around and see him right behind me.
"Hey Logan" I say and he leans forward and kisses me.
"That was nice" I say when I get my breath back.
"Well girls we need to get to class we will see you at lunch boys" I say as I close my locker and head to class.
Logan's POV
I get to school and make my way to the girls lockers as I approach I see the boys are already there and quizzing her about last night. I get closer and she turns around to get somethings from her locker so I go right up behind her and say "morning Rory" she spins around and is now right in front of me with that beautiful face of hers "hey Logan" and before I know it I lean forward and kiss her. I don't know what possessed me to do it but I couldn't help myself not after last night. I pull away slowly and she says "that was nice" and she close her locker and heads off to class with the girls.
I turn around to the guys "well I guess we better do the same" I say and walk towards our lockers to get our books.
"So are you getting a second date Huntz?" Colin asks
"I don't know yet I asked her out for Friday last night and she said she would let me know" I tell them
"She's playing hard to get? You really have met your match" Finn says as we head off to economics.
The morning goes so slow that once lunch is here I'm glad to get out we grab food and head to the girls table I sit next to Rory.
"So do you have an answer to my question from last night?" I ask her
"Yes I do have an answer for you and that answer is ..." I'm holding my breath "yes" she says and I exhale and I think about what we can do.
We all continue to eat and have menial chit chat. While this is all going on I think about what me and Rory are doing. Are we a couple? Are we exclusive? Or is this just casual? I realise then that we need to sort this out before the next date.
"Can we go for a walk?" I ask her softly and she nods and we get up
"I will see you guys in class after" I say to the guys as we walk out of the dining hall and out side to the court yard where I take a seat.
"What's going on Logan?" She asks me
"I just want to know what you see us as?" I ask her hoping she will understand
"How do you mean us?" She asks back
"Is what we are doing casual dating or are we mutually exclusive? Am I your boyfriend now? I need to know so I do the right thing by both of us" I ramble
"Well what would you prefer?" She asks
"I'm not used to the boyfriend thing or the mutually exclusive thing either but I know that your special and that casual dating is not your thing but it's the only thing I know how to do and I don't want to hurt you" I tell her I look her in the eyes and I see a fire I haven't seen before.
"Lets call it casual and see how it goes" she says and I look at her in shock "seriously?" I ask "yes seriously, was there anything else to discuss because I need to get back to my locker" she says and I shake my head as she walks away.
She never ceases to amaze me. I get up and also head to my locker and grab my books for the afternoon classes. I meet the guys outside the class.
"So what did you have to talk to Rory about?" Finn asked
"Just making sure we are both in the same place about what we are" I tell them
"What you are?" They ask looking at me dumbfounded
"As in a couple or casual" I say
"So your a couple right?" Seth asks
"No it's casual her choice" I reply
"No way you got reporter girl doing a casual relationship?" Robert asks
"You are as shocked as I am about that development" I say
"You better not screw this up huntzberger" Finn says as we walk into English literature.
The rest of the day flies by I get home and decide to do some homework. Still dumbfounded by Rory's response to doing the casual dating thing.
Rory's POV
I head to my locker after the talk with Logan. Did I just agree to casual dating? I think I did just so I could spend time with Logan. My next thought is how long will he hang around for me if I don't give it up. Then I start to doubt myself and everything else.
Steph arrives just in time.
"Rory you alright?" She asks
"No I need to get out of her can we go and get manis and pedis and skip afternoon class we need to talk" I ask her.
"Sure I will text the girls to say the need to find another way home" she says as we walk out of school and head towards the spa to be pampered.
Once in the pedi chairs Steph speaks up.
"So what did he want to talk about?" She asks me
"He asked what we were as in exclusive or casual and then he went and said all about how he hasn't done exclusive or even knows if he can and then I agreed to be casual, that stunned him but as I was walking back to my locker I started to freak out about us and sex and I needed to get out of there" I ramble to her.
"Whoa no wonder you needed to get out. Ok so the casual thing is not so bad it just means you both can date others and do what you like without being tied down. Now the sex thing it's up to you about how much importance you put on the whole need to be in love to do it for the first time" she tells me " also ask your mom she would love to help guide you and if that is no success there's always your pro/con lists" she adds.
We finish getting our nails done and Steph takes me home.
"Mom are you here?" I call out
"Kitchen" she says
I make my way in and pour myself some coffee and grab some chocolate pop tarts.
"What's up kiddo?" She asks
"Is dad home?" I asks
"No" she replies
"Will he be home soon?" I check even further as I don't want him hearing this conversation.
"No he won't be home till just in time for dinner" she clears up
I tell her all about the Logan talk and she agrees with Steph.
"There is on more thing though, being that it's a casual relationship I am worried about the sex factor" I say to her totally embarrassed.
"I knew we would be getting here soon, what about the sex factor is getting you?" She asks me
"How will I know when I'm ready and do I have to be in love or" mom cuts me off.
"Rory only you will know when your ready I can't answer that for you I can however make sure you know to protect yourself don't do a mommy and well you know" she tells me making me more confused. I head up to my room and pull out my laptop and start doing what I know best pro/con list time:
Pro:
I'm 16
Better with someone I know than a random
I'd rather not go to college a virgin
He treats me well
He likes me
I don't want to lose him
Con:
I'm not sure I'm really ready
I'm not in love but do I have to be
Do I really want to do it now
I look at my lists and I realise that it might just be time to do it but it's going to be interesting on how to get it into Logan's head that I want to.
Friday at school goes by like every other day and I head home and get ready for the date.
I decide to wear my red skin tight Dolce dress with my red heels and my black purse I throw on my black DKNY jacket. I head down stairs just before 730 I go say bye to mom and dad.
"I'm heading out be home later" I say and walk towards the exit.
"Where are you going in that dress?" Dad asks getting protective like usual.
"Out" is all I say and I walk out the front door to find Logan pulling up in the drive I jump straight in.
"Lets get out of here" I say
"You wish is my command" he says as he drives towards wherever he is taking me for this date.
"So what's the plan for tonight? I ask.
"Well how about some burgers and then that depends what you want to do after that we could go to a club or wherever you want" he says with a suggestive tone.
"Sounds good" I reply
We arrive at Signs the best burger place in the area we get a table and both order.
"So you have been rather quite since our talk yesterday" he says
"Yeah sorry about that just had a lot on my mind" I say
"Anything you want to share"he asks
"Just thinking about how us in our casual format is going to work is all" I say
"Will it work?" He asks
"I'm hoping so" I reply as our burger and fries are brought to our table.
I start to eat and I look and see a glint in Logan's eyes that has me hopeful.
Logan's POV
Our food was just brought out and I'm looking back at her wondering what she is thinking and what does she have under that dress.
We eat our meal in pleasant silence. "So club, bar or somewhere else?" I ask her
"Lets go dancing" she says surprising me further but with what she is wearing it's a perfect choice.
We leave and I drive to Vamp a very exclusive club that I have unlimited access to and a permanently booked booth at.
We go straight to the VIP entrance and get let in, we check our coats and head to my booth.
A waitress comes over and takes our drink order. "So is there a curfew tonight" I ask her
"Don't know didn't hang around long enough to find out" she says
"What does that mean?" I ask
"It means before dad could say anything other then question what I'm doing going out in this dress I walked out" she tells me and I really start to wonder what happened to the Rory thought I knew.
"Ok then" I say as our drinks arrive I take a sip of my scotch while she has a drink of her vodka club soda.
"Can we dance?" She asks and I get up and take her hand as we move out to the dance floor.
We start moving to the beat in time with each other, I lean forward and start to kiss her while we keep moving in time. I get lost in these kisses as our tongues dance and massage each other's. We take a breather from our kisses and continue to dance with each other. Soon we hear a squeal and both look towards the entrance and there is Steph and Colin. Steph comes straight over to us.
"Rory, Logan good to see you not that I expected to see you here. Looking good Gilmore" Steph says
"Why don't you and Colin join us in our booth?" Rory asks her
"Sounds good" Steph says and she follows us over and Colin joins us shortly after we take a seat.
"Evening Rory, huntz how long you guys been here?" Colin says
"About 20 minutes now" I say as I take another drink I see Rory has finished hers.
"Did you want another?" I ask her
"Yes please" she says
"Drinking tonight?" Steph asks her
"Yes not like Colin's party last week but having a couple" she says clarifying
"It's good to see you let your hair down" Steph says back to her. "Bathroom to freshen up?" Steph asks Rory and she agrees. They get up and go to the ladies.
"So how's your date going?" Colin asks
"Really well, it's almost like she is a different person like more open to new experiences if you get what I mean" I tell him
"Are you saying the sweet and innocent Ms Gilmore-Hayden may give it up sometime soon?" He asks
"If the way we were dancing and making out on the dance floor before is anything to go by then yes" I tell him and he looks at me stunned.
"Just remember Huntz she not like the others don't hurt her or Finn will hurt you" he says.
Rory's POV
Steph and I head off to the bathroom, she wants the gossip and we both know it.
"So what's with the new Gilmore?" She asks me
"New Gilmore?" I ask back
"Yeah sexy party dress, out clubbing , drinking you know what I mean" she says
"I just feel like I need to live a little and stop being so scared" I reply
"So does that also mean about our other talk too?" She asks
"Yeah mom was no help so I pro/con listed it and the lists never lie" I say
"So what way did it finish"
"Pro" I say and she squeals again
"Rory you are really going to do it tonight?"
"I don't know if it's tonight but it will happen soon" I say as I finish freshening up my make up.
"Lets get back to the guys, can't keep them waiting" I say
We walk back out to the boys and our drinks are waiting for us after that talk I need one so before I know it I have drank it all.
Steph looks over to me "dance?"
"Definitely" I say back and get up with her and head back to the dance floor as we get out there a new song starts its p!nk's 'get the party started' and Steph and I just lose ourself in the song as it's one of our get ready songs. I look over and see the guys just watching us and I smile at the great night I'm having our with my best friend and our dates. Next song that comes on is 'get it started' by black eyed peas we just keep dancing after another couple of songs I need a drink and take a rest so I head back to our booth and Steph follows me.
I sit down next to Logan and the waitress comes over I get another drink and so does Logan.
"Having fun?" He asks me
"Yeah having a great time" I say and I lean back and kiss him deeply and with vigor.
He kisses me back and I lose myself in the moment. I soon gain my faculties and ended the kiss and turn back around to find my drink waiting for me I take a drink and relax back into Logan's arms. Steph looks over at me in awe and I smirk.
We all continued to enjoy drinks and more dancing. I looked down at my watch and see that it's 1am and start to panic but then I just forget about it I will be in enough trouble with dad already why ruin the night now.
"Did you want to go?" He asks me.
"Somewhere but not home" I tell him
"Ok I have an idea" he says and we get up I give Steph a hug and a kiss on the cheek and we head to get our coats and leave towards Logan's car and we get in and he takes us to our next location.
That's the next one done all, hope you all enjoy it.
