Rory's POV-
I usually don't go into work on Sunday but I needed something to take my mind off of coffee with Logan, so I went in and of course, as I'm walking through the newsroom, I see Evan. I honestly hadn't even thought about the fact that we worked in the same building up until that moment. I just ignore him and walk to my desk.
"Rory!" Evan called out to me and ran over to my desk
"Go away Evan" I said, without looking up from my computer
"Will you please just let me explain?" He pleaded
"I heard everything I needed to hear" I said "you cheated on me. I get it. I don't need details"
"So, that's it? We're just over?"
"That's it. And on some level you already knew that because if you didn't you wouldn't have left your key in my apartment on Friday"
"Come on"
"Evan, I can't be with someone who's gonna sleep with someone else as soon as there's a little distance between us"
"That's not what happened!"
"That's exactly what happened" I scoffed "we both got busy, didn't see each other for a week, and instead of handling the situation like a normal person, you decided to have sex with someone else!"
That last part had come out a little louder than I wanted it to, and people were now staring. It was no secret at work that we were together, and I guess a breakup is like a train wreck. You can't look away.
Logan's POV-
When I got to the coffee shop, Rory wasn't there yet. I sat at a table, near the window and a few minutes later she walked in.
"Hey" she said as she sat down across from me
"Hi" I smiled at her
We exchanged pleasantries but then I let my curiosity get the best of me "so tell me, what have you been doing?"
"I thought you were following my work" she said
"I saw a bunch of stuff that you wrote about the Obama campaign, good stuff by the way"
"Thank you"
"And then nothing until your name popped up in the New York Times, a few months ago. Where were you working until then?"
"I wasn't" she told me. I was a little surprised to hear that she hadn't been working for what would've been almost 2 years. "I went back to school. Got my masters degree"
I nod in acknowledgment
"What about you?" She asked "work? Dating? Anything?"
"I work" I said
"Care to be more specific?" She chuckled lightly
"About a year ago, my dad had a heart attack. He's fine but I guess he decided that he's done working because he basically handed me his entire company" She didn't say anything so I kept talking "and I don't really date"
"Really?"
"Not in the traditional sense" I chuckled "but I guess this could count as a date, so maybe I do"
We eventually took our coffees to go and walked around Central Park. As we were walking I couldn't help but notice Rory getting closer to me. Or maybe I was moving closer to her but she wasn't moving away.
I'd decided that I definitely want to be with her, but I also know that she just got out of a relationship so I have to be careful.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked her
"You can ask me whatever you like. I just won't promise that I'll answer"
"This guy...Evan. Why'd you break up?"
She took a deep breath "he cheated on me"
"Ouch"
"Yeah" she exhaled "that was it for me. I can't be with someone I can't trust"
"Were you together long?"
"Almost a year and a half" she said. I didn't say anything. "New topic?" She asked
"Yeah. It's your turn. Ask me something"
"How's Honor doing?" Of all the things I thought she might ask me, that wasn't one of them
"She's good" I said "really good actually. She and Josh have a couple of kids, they're pretty cute. I spend a good amount of time with them"
"How old are they?" She asked
"Ellie's gonna be 2 next month and Sophie's about 6 months old now" I told her "and you know, I might be a little biased but I might be the best uncle in the world" I said jokingly
She laughed "I'll bet you are"
Rory's POV-
We walked around Central Park for a little while longer before Logan insisted on walking me home. We'd been walking for a while when I noticed that Logan was holding my hand. It was like no time has passed at all.
"Do you want a soda or something?" I offered him as we ride the elevator up to my apartment
"That'd be nice" he said "thanks"
When we got to my door, Logan stood in front of it and just stared at me. I couldn't really reach to unlock the door with the way he was standing, and he was just looking at me. "What are you doing?"
"Possibly something very stupid" he said. The next thing I know his hand was on my cheek and his lips were on mine. When the kiss broke, I just stood there staring at Logan. It was a good kiss. A great kiss, actually. It was like everything else melted away as soon as Logan's lips touched mine "I'm sorry. I don't know why I just did that"
Third party POV-
Rory took a small step forward so Logan put his hand on her waist. He waited for her to pull back, but she didn't so he leaned forward and kissed her again. The kissing quickly got heated. After some fumbling with her keys, Rory got the door open. Once inside the apartment, the kissing intensified. Logan took a few steps forward, pushing Rory back until she hit the couch and fell backwards onto it, pulling Logan down with her.
Logan trailed his lips down to Rory's neck and slipped his hand under the hem of her shirt, feeling the warmth of her skin. Rory ran her hands through his hair which is something that she happened to remember made him go crazy. Logan's hands were all over the Rory, exploring every inch of her. When he made it to the button on her jeans, Rory put her hand over his.
"Do you want me to stop?" He asked. He definitely didn't want to stop, but the last thing he wanted was for Rory to be uncomfortable.
Rory sat up halfway and kissed him, trying to silently let him know that he should keep going, But Logan wanted to be sure so when the kiss broke he asked again. "Rory, do you want me to stop?"
"No" Rory said. She knew that it might not be the best idea to have sex with her ex-boyfriend just a few days after breaking up with someone else, but in that moment she didn't care.
A little while later Rory and Logan were cuddled up in Rory's bed. Logan was tracing circles on Rory's back with his fingers.
Logan's POV-
Laying in bed with Rory, holding her in my arms, this is probably the most at peace I've felt in a long time.
"Logan" she said
"Yeah?"
"Now what?"
