CHAPTER 7

Rory POV

It has been a week since Logan and I found out about our arranged marriage. I have been emailing my Chilton assignments in and I'm taking 3 classes at Yale. Logan has spent every night at my apartment. G has called me a couple of times since she got to boarding school. She says that she's glad that Dad sent her away and that she likes the school. Logan's dad is dragging him away this weekend to go to London. Logan doesn't want to go since every weekend since we got together something has come up, and there's the fact that I'm going to be gone to Hartford most of next week for Chilton stuff. I have midterms and senior pictures. Not to mention that I have a fitting for my cap and gown. When I get done with my 1st class of the day, I stop by the coffee cart and grab a coffee. I decide to go over to Logan's and grab a quick nap before my next class. When I walk into his dorm, he is sitting there talking to a girl that I've never seen before. "Hello." I say.

"Ror, hey." He says. He stands up, walks over to me and kisses me.

"I thought I would come grab a quick nap before my Physics class." I say not taking my eyes off the girl. "Who's your friend?"

Logan grabs my hand and pulls me to the couch. "This is Erica. Collin's sister. You guys probably never met, she's a few years older than me and Collin. Erica this is Rory Hayden." Logan said.

"Lorelei's daughter?" Erica says.

"Yeah. You know my mom?" I say.

"Yeah. We play cards together."

"How nice. I'm gonna go grab that nap." I said getting up and walking to Logan's room. I lay on his bed and it doesn't take me long to fall asleep.

A little while later, Logan is waking me up. "Nice nap?" He asks.

"Yeah, somebody wouldn't let me sleep last night." I say and I kiss him.

"Sorry. C'mon we have class." Fortunately, Logan's class is across from mine, so it allows us to spend a little more time together. After class, I needed caffeine, so I went over to the coffee cart to get coffee while I waited on Logan. While I was waiting, Grandpa Richard found me.

"Rory." He said.

"Hi Grandpa. How are you?" I said.

"Waiting for someone?"

"Just Logan, his class is about ten minutes longer than mine." I tell him.

"Things are well…with the two of you?"

"Things are great, thank you." I say as Logan walks toward us. I hand him his coffee.

"Richard, hi." Logan said.

"Logan, how are you?" Grandpa asks.

"I'm well. Rory and I were about to grab some lunch over at the pub, care to join us?"

"Oh no. I'm about to head home for the day."

We say our goodbyes to Grandpa and we head over to the pub. We get a table in the back. "So, I talked to Dad again." Logan says.

"And?"

"He's not making me go." I smile at him. We order our food. "I explained about the last two weekends and about you being in Hartford next week and his response was 'I'll give you a free pass'."

"Wow, how generous." I said sarcastically. A few minutes later our food arrives.

"Steph coming up this weekend?"

I nod. "Yeah but she's staying with Collin." I say.

"Yea I think I will stay with you this weekend."

I look at him surprised by his answer. "I thought you were already planning on doing that?" I ask him.

"I was, but now I definitely don't wanna be at my place in case they start fighting. They have fought the last two weekends that they have seen each other."

Logan paid our lunch bill and we walked outside. "That's true. I'm gonna head home. See you later?" I said, and he kissed me.

"Absolutely. Chinese?"

"Pizza." He nods. I make my way to my apartment. I check my mail when I get inside the building. I skim through it as I walk toward the elevator. When I get off the elevator and get to my apartment I am surprised to see my sister. "G? What are you doing here?" I say as I pull her into a hug.

"I needed to talk to you and it wasn't exactly an over the phone kind of conversation." She said.

"Okay." I said as I unlocked my door.

Before we walked in, she grabbed my arm. "Logan's not, here is he?"

"No. He had class." We walk in and went straight to the kitchen. I start a pot of coffee. "G, what is wrong?"

"Okay there's these girls at school. And one day, my roommate is hanging out with them. So, one of the girls is like your Hayden, right? And I'm all yeah nice to meet you" G said.

"G, long story short, please?"

"This girl Ashleigh is claiming that she has a kid by…Logan."

Wow. "What else did she say?"

"That he doesn't know and that she doesn't want him to, but I thought that you should know."

"Yeah, thanks." I say pouring us each a cup of coffee. We spent a little time together before she had get back to the airport. I wasn't sure if I should tell Logan about what G said. Instead I sat at the bar and pulled my laptop out. I checked my email and then started some research that I needed to do for a paper. A few hours later, Logan came in with a pizza. "Good I'm starved." I said.

"Well, then I'm in time." Logan sitting the pizza on the counter and kissed me.

I grabbed a slice of pizza out of the box and take a bite.

Beep beep.

I pick up my phone and see a text.

G: don't tell the parentals I was in town.

Rory: gotcha.

A little while later, Logan and I were curled up on the couch when the phone rang. Logan grabbed it off the end table and answered it. "Hello? Yes sir, hang on." Logan hands me the phone. "It's your dad."

I take the phone and sit up. "Hey Dad." I say.

"Lorelai Leigh Hayden! Did your sister come see you today?" My dad said.

"What! No! Why?" I lied.

"Your sister skipped school and got on a plane. I checked with the credit card company and it said that she took a flight to New Haven."

G, I'm gonna kill you. "Dad, I'm telling you I haven't seen Her. Trust me if I had I would have called you or Mom."

"Well if you do, tell her to call me."

"I will dad." I said and hang up.

"What was that about?" Logan asked.

I tell him everything about G's visit. "Are you okay?" I asked him.

"I don't know, Ror." He says. He walks over to the liquor cabinet. He grabs the scotch and pours himself a drink. He downs it and pours another. "If there's any truth to this then there could possibly be problems." He downs the second drink and sits the glass down and walks over to Me, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me close. "I just don't want anything to interfere with what we have." He leans down and kisses me.

"Ditto."
