The Confrontation
I enter the dining room and there they are sitting side by side ready to talk. I take my seat on the opposite side of the table and wait for them to say the first words.
"How was Maui?" Mom asks
"It was fantastic we all had so much fun it was great to see the guys too" I say seeing what reaction it gets.
"They guys? What like Colin, Finn, Robert and Seth yeah no one else?" Dad asks
"No there was someone else of course he was there dad they are all best friends just like me, Steph, Madeline, Louise and Paris are" I retort back
"Rory I'm trying to trust you but when it comes to that boy I can't" he says
"Well you are going to have to dad, I'm going to college in 2 months and I will be spending a lot of time with him" I say not sure how to tell them that we are now together exclusively.
"But Rory you have to see it from my side I'm trying to protect you" he says
"Dad I don't need you to protect me, I have Logan for that" I say
"What do you mean you have Logan for that, I'm trying to protect you from him. I know his type he will use you then throw you away that's their game" he says
"It breaks my heart that you think that dad. Do you know why I went back to Switzerland so soon after I got back last summer?" I ask him
"To get a leg up in school and graduate early I thought" he replies
"No it was because Logan was not coming back for summer, he was not going to see me again till I was back for good because in the short 2 weeks I was at chilton with them I stole his heart. We decided to be casual but he fell for me, then you sent me away and he couldn't deal with me telling him to move on. He said goodbye after he left the airport, but it wasn't till I came back at summer and found out how he dealt with me leaving and after a conversation with him that I realised I had lost my first love and it broke me, the only thing I could think of doing was going back to school and studying my ass off and getting everything done a year early" I say
"What's that got to do with seeing Logan more now?" He asks
"Well the girls and the guys organised for all 10 of us to be in Maui at the same time and they made sure our seats were together on the plane. But it wasn't until he bought me the most thoughtful and beautiful graduation gift with a card that melted my heart. We then spoke and realised we need to give us a try, mom dad, Logan and I have been in an exclusive relationship now for 3 weeks it's going great and he will be over at some time so I expect you to be civil even if you don't like him" I say hoping they understand.
"Dad, Logan can stay over if he wants to" I say
"NO NO NO" dad starts yelling
"Dad it's too late to save my precious gift alright I will compromise that I will go see the doctor and go on birth control and make sure we are always protected ok" I say trying to make it work
"I think that's fair Chris plus she is older than we were so cut her some slack" mom says to him
"My next thing is I would like you both to meet him properly how about he comes over for dinner tonight?" I ask them
"Sounds good sweets now head up stairs and unpack and tell Logan 630 we can have drinks before dinner" mom says and I leave the table hearing mom and dad argue mildly as I run upstairs.
I first call Logan.
"Hey babe how did it go?"he ask me
"Well enough you will be allowed to stay if you want to and I need to book a doctors appointment to get on proper birth control that's what he is mainly worried we will do what they did" I tell him
"Well I understand that too and I agree about the birth control we don't want kids just yet" he says and I'm happy to hear he is relaxed
"Second thing you need to be here for dinner by 630 I want to introduce you properly to my parents and I hope they will behave" I tell him
"That's great babe I will see you then now make you call to Steph I know you are dying to" he says
"Alright see you soon babe love you"
"Love you too babe" he says and we end our call. I then speed dial Steph, she takes her time to answer.
"Is now not a good time?" I ask her
"Not really chica, I will call you back when I'm free" she says
"Tell Colin I'm sorry for interrupting" I say with a laugh and hang up.
I call Logan straight back.
"What's up did your parents change their minds?" He asks
"No I think I just interrupted Colin an Steph" I say laughing
"No way" he says
"Yes I called and she took a while to answer and I asked if it was a good time and she said not really so I knew it had to be Colin keeping her busy" I tell him
"Oh your good babe" he says
"Well I'm so bored how about you come over and we can hang out in the pool and then get ready for dinner together" I say
"Sounds good I will get some stuff together and be over in an hour" he says.
I head down stairs "mom, dad" I yell
"Just here Rory" I turn around and they are sitting in the lounge
"Logan's coming over early we are going to spend some time in he pool then get ready for dinner" I tell them and they nod.
I head back up to my room shower and change in to my white Marni bikini and my flip flops and I lay down on the bed and start looking apartments in new haven. I find a couple that have potential for us to live in and my phone goes off.
"Well well well free to talk now are we?" I say with a chuckle
"Yeah alright, so what happened with your mom and dad?" She asks and I rehash everything that happened and that Logan's on his way over now.
"Wow not what I was expecting but I always knew your parents were cool" she says
"Well that sounds good let the girls know to come over tomorrow we can swim in the pool or watch some movies ask the guys too we can enjoy some time together before they go to Europe and I can show you some of apartments I have found that are possibilities for new haven" I say
"Sounds great I will contact the girls and get Colin to let the guys know" she says and we hang up
I keep looking at apartments then I get a text
*leaving mine now be there soon xxx*
*see you soon babe xxx* I respond
I look at a couple more apartments and I hear the door bell go.
I run down stairs just as the maid is letting him in I run and jump into his arms and give him a massive kiss.
"Missed you" I say "it's only been like 2 hours" he says
"Your saying you haven't missed me, I'm hurt" I say as I jump down and lead him up stairs to my room so he can put his bag down and change.
"You look amazing in that bikini" he says as I sit back on the bed and look at more apartments as he changes. Once ready we grab some towels and head down to the pool. I put the towels down and pushed Logan in.
"Really, you pushed me in" he says
"Yeah and it was fun" I say laughing and I dive in and swim over to him and he starts to tickle me. I start to kiss him and he stops tickling me, things start to heat up I end the kiss.
"We don't want to get too amorous in public I don't want to make Dad more anxious then he already is" I say and he understands we spend more time swimming around. I then hopped out and laid on a lounge chair to tan some more while Logan did some laps. At 5 pm we both dry off and head inside and upstairs to shower and change. At 6.15 we head down stairs ready for the inquisition that is going to come over drinks and dinner.
Hope you are enjoying the story more to come soon.
