A/N: Song-fic. Here's the next one. You ain't woman enough by Loretta Lynn.
Summary: Rory finds out that Logan cheated with Bobbie. Rory decides to confront her.
Rory POV
I was so pissed off. Logan had gotten drunk and confessed to me that he'd been cheating on me with Bobbie from London. I quickly packed my things and moved back to Paris'. Once that was done, I called Dad and asked if he could help me get a round trip ticket to London and a hotel room. At first he was confused because he didn't understand why I needed to go to London since Logan was back. I told him that I had something that I needed to take care of. After that he agreed and told me that he'd let me know my travel arrangements.
I packed a bag while I waited to hear from my dad. I also called Mom to let her know what was going on and that if anybody called looking for me that she hadn't seen me. She reluctantly agreed. When Dad called, I headed to the airport.
Sitting on the plane I thought about what my game plan was going to be when I got there. I knew that I was going to confront her. I wasn't sure what I was going to do about Logan when I got back, but I knew that I needed to make sure that Bobbie knew that Logan would never be hers. There was no way that I would ever let that happen.
Arriving at Heathrow, I headed to the hotel that Dad had set up for me. I quickly showered and changed my clothes, and having a cup of coffee before heading down to the HPG European Offices. When I got there, I was told that Bobbie was in a meeting and I'd somehow convinced her assistant to let me into her office to wait for her.
At first, I just looked around her office. There wasn't nothing to stand out that pointed to her affair with Logan. But the one thing that I did notice was that there was a group photo of her and Logan with a couple others. The one photo that most people wouldn't notice the tell-tell sign that something more was going on there. I was facing away from her door when I heard it open. "Can I help you?" She asked walking in her office. I turned around to look at her. "Rory." She said.
"Hi Bobbie." I said, with no hint of emotion in my voice.
"What are you doing here? I know that Logan returned home." She said.
I couldn't help but scoff at that. Of course you'd know that. "I think that it's time that you and I have a talk." I said, cocking my head to the side. She nodded. She walked across her office and sat down behind her chair.
You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he doesn't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him, oh, but I don't think you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
"You see, when Logan came home…I could tell that something was different about him. Couldn't put my finger on it, but it was there. At first, he told me that he was just trying to get used to the time difference again." I said. She watched me carefully. "But then it hit me. It was almost as if he was, shall I say, depressed."
"Rory…" Bobbie tried to say, but I held my hand up to stop her.
I shook my head. "I'm not done. Far from it. So, the weeks went by and it only got worse. And then it happened. We went to the bar. He got drunk. When we got home, he starts ranting. At first, nothing made sense. He kept rambling about mistakes that he'd made. I mean, it wasn't exactly a secret that Logan's made plenty of mistakes…some in the two and a half years that I've known him and some prior to…but as I said, he was rambling. But then, he looked up at me and I could see tears in his eyes." I said, pushing down my own that were building.
Women like you they're a dime a dozen, you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over
And I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
"He starts telling me about how much he was missing me while he was here. That it made him hate Mitchum even more than he did. Especially for the fact that Mitchum had separated us. He tells me that he'd missed me so much that he'd gotten shit faced drunk at a bar. That he'd run into a co-worker. That things escalated from there. I'd thought that maybe he was going to tell me that he'd gotten into a fight with said co-worker…but no. That's not what he told me. He said that he'd ended up in your bed." I said, clearing my throat. "Gave me more details than I wanted if I'm honest. Said he woke up the next morning, feeling guilty." I told her. She looked down at the floor.
Sometimes a man's caught lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you, but he's in love with me
Well, I don't know where that leaves you, oh, but I know where I stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
I cleared my throat again, "I just came here to tell you…you're done. You're going to leave Logan alone. He felt guilty about sleeping with you, even if it was more than once. He apologize profusely for hurting me, that he never wanted to. So, I'm just here to tell you that your just a distant memory to him." I said before I stood up and started making my way to the door.
"Can you really forgive him that easily?" She asked me, causing me to turn around.
"I can. And you know why?" I asked. She shook her head. "Because I'm the one who helped make him who he is today. I'm the only one that he's ever called his girlfriend. Someday he'll call me his wife. And finally, someday I'll be the mother of his children." I growled at her before I left her office.

No, you ain't woman enough to take my man
Arriving back at Logan's apartment two days later, I let myself in. I found Logan sitting on the couch with his hands in his hair. When I closed the door, he stood up and turned to look at me. "Where have you been? I've been worried. It's been two days Rory." He said. I could hear the worry in his voice.
I crossed my arms over my chest. "Had a little trip that I had to take." I said.
"A trip? What trip?" He asked.
"Needed to go to London." I said calmly.
"London? Why would you need…" He trailed off, realizing why I would have the need to go to London. He looked down at the floor for a minute before looking back up at me. "Did you confront her?" He asked. I nodded. "Right." He said. He briefly paced the living room before he stopped and looked at me. "What does that mean for us?" He asked me, clearly remembering the Bridesmaid fiasco.
I slowly walked over to him. I still had my arms crossed and my face was void of any emotion. I looked up at him. "We'll get through it. But Logan, this better not happen ever again." I told him calmly.
He nodded. "Never again. I promise you." He said. I nodded and leaned up to kiss him. "But can I ask…why are you forgiving me so easily?"
"Because when you got drunk two days ago, you started confessing about mistakes being made. When you told me about Bobbie, you were crying. Even during the confession, I could see how guilty you felt about it and that you'd never meant to hurt me. That's why I'm forgiving you." I said. He nodded. "Now, coffee?" I asked and he nodded.
