Saturday night came far too quickly for Logan and Rory they were both perfectly content with the idea of staying in bed the whole day. The Huntzberger dinner was at 7:00 at their Pent House in New York so at 6:00 Rory was getting out of the shower, leaving enough time for her hair and makeup.

Logan took his shower while Rory quickly dried and then lightly curled her hair. She applied minimal makeup and she was putting on her dress while he put on his suit.

Her dress was a short navy blue cocktail style with, lightly puffed sleeves accenting the decolletage and seamed sweetheart bodice. Sheath skirt took over at the waist, with two diagonal pockets and just the right amount of pleats. It had an exposed gold zipper on the back and the front of the bodice and skirt were lined. She wore matching navy blue pumps with it and a rose gold necklace that matched the zipper.

Logan walked up behind her, zipping her dress without her asking, knowing she would, before lightly kissing her neck. She turned in his arms and did his tie for him since she knew he would ask and then kissed him on the lips.

"Ready?" He asked her, his hands still on her hips.

"Yep," she said and then kissed him again before walking out of the bedroom and down the stairs. He followed her down, grabbed his keys and wallet, handed Rory her purse and helped her into her coat before walking out the door and locking it behind him.

They decided to take Logan's Porsche and just drive themselves since his parents penthouse was not too far from theirs.

When they arrived, the doorman recognized Logan and let him go right up. When they reached the door Logan was about to ring the bell when he turned to Rory.

"Ace no matter what happens and what my mother says, just remember that I love you and that her opinion doesn't matter to me," he said.

"Logan its ok I know and I'll be fine," she gave him one last quick kiss and then rang the doorbell.

The maid answered the door and took their coats and Rory's purse.

"Mr. and Mrs. Huntzberger are in the sitting room," she said.

Logan put his hand in the small of Rory's back and led her to the sitting room.

"Rory, Logan good, it's good to see you. I hope traffic wasn't too bad," Mitchum greeted them upon their arrival to the sitting room.

"It's good to see you too Mr. Huntzberger," she said shaking his hand.

"Oh please Rory its Mitchum," he told her.

"Ok Mitchum," she said smiling that he was happy to see the two of them.

"Can I get you two something to drink?" Mitchum asked.

"Oh I got it dad," Logan said.

"Alright then Rory why don't we sit down and wait for him," he said.

She sat down in one of the love seats. Noticing that Mitchum sat down in a chair next to his wife, she turned her attention to Shira.

"Hello Mrs. Huntzberger, it's lovely to see you again," Rory said with a society smile that could fool anyone. Anyone except Logan that is, he walked back with their drinks suppressing a laugh at her fake tone.

"Yes, it's been a while Rory," Shira said with similar tone, but not as good as hiding that it was fake.

"Here you go Ace," Logan said sitting down next to her and handing her a martini.

"Thank you Logan," she said as his hand rested on her knee for reassurance.

Shira noticed this movement and noticeably winced. She did not like that he was dating Rory Hayden. She knew Rory worked hard and was good at what she did, but that left no time for the DAR or planning parties for Logan and his colleagues. Not to mention Shira had her heart set on Logan and the lovely Ms. Fallon.

"So Rory how's work? I imagine you're very busy." Shira said, trying to get Rory to realize she could not be a Huntzberger wife.

"Yes, very busy, but I make sure to take time off on the weekends and we both try not to bring work home with us," Rory said, looking at Logan at her last comment.

"Oh well that's lovely," Shira said, now taking a different approach she added, "What will you do when you two have kids?"

Rory and Logan nearly choked on their drinks when they heard that. They both wanted kids and with each other, but they hadn't even begun to seriously discuss it yet. Logan decided to answer for her.

"Well mom I don't want to speak for Rory, but we've only been dating a little over a month, however if we do reach that point she could still work just like I would," he said and was reassured as he felt Rory placed her hand over his.

"Well that's nice," Shira, said not bothering to hide the disgusted tone in her answer.

Mitchum decided it was time to change the subject. "So Logan I've been thinking about going down to the club for a round of golf soon…" with that they opted for lighter, polite chit chat and Logan and Rory made plans for lunch with Mitchum later the next week.

Finally, the maid announced that dinner was ready and Mitchum lead them to the dining room. He and Shira sat at the ends of the table while Rory and Logan sat next to each other on the left side of the table.

"So do you two have anything planned, trips, or any events you're attending?" Mitchum asked.

"Actually there's a benefit next week for the Hayden Firm that we're going to and then Honor and I were talking about me, Rory, her and josh going to the vineyard in about 2 weeks," Logan answered him.

"Well let me know if you decide to go to the vineyard I'll have the house set up," Mitchum said.

"Actually Honor and Josh were going to stay with Rory and I at the Hayden compound on the Island," Logan said smirking at the look on his mother's face.

"Well that sounds fun, and I know the benefit you're referring to, your father and I will be there also," Shira said. Now she just had to make sure Marissa Fallon was there too.

Logan was confused as to why his parents would be there, noticing this Rory answered his unasked question "You're dad owns 10% of the company, Straub now has 20%, and I have the rest."

"Yes and I used to own 30% but she bought me out, said I had too much control," Mitchum added laughing.

"Ace are you serious?" Logan asked laughing now.

"Absolutely, it was my firm and I wasn't going to let your newspapers magnet father make big decisions," she said with a smirk.

Mitchum and Logan only laughed harder at this, but Shira found no amusement and could not figure out how Rory had Shira's husband and son both wrapped around her finger.

Once the laughing subsided and they finished eating dessert was brought out and Rory and Mitchum began debating the newest bill in front of the senate. Logan watched in amusement, occasionally jumping in and agreeing mostly with Rory since he did not want to end up sleeping in the couch.

Once dessert was over Rory and Logan said their goodbyes, leaving Shira and Mitchum to talk.

"I cannot believe he's still with her. I thought it was a simple fling, but now-" Shira started but Mitchum cut her off.

"Shira he's in love and he's not letting her go. She makes him a better person. When was the last time you saw him walk out of this house with a smile like he did tonight?" With that, Mitchum walked upstairs to bed leaving his wife to think about his words.

Shira knew her husband was right but just to be sure she would pay close attention to them at the benefit next week.

Rory and Logan drove home in comfortable silence; the drive was short so they were home pretty quickly. Logan parked and they made their way up to their apartment, Logan arm around her waist.

When the walked through the door Logan immediately pulled her into a long passionate kiss, Rory was a bit shocked but kissed him back just as fervently.

Pulling away slightly out of breath and still smiling Rory asked "Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?"

"Because I love you," he said giving her another, lighter kiss and resting his hands on her hips.

"Aw, I love you too," she said kissing him back. "But seriously why?"

Smirking he said "I am serious, that's really why."

"Whatever Huntzberger, I'll find out eventually," she said.

"Suit yourself Ace."

"Ok so I was thinking tomorrow we could go over to my apartment, pack up my stuff, and officially move me in. That way we can just get it done."

"Sounds good, I'll call Colin and Finn and have them help us with some of the manual labor I would otherwise have to do on my own."

"That's true and I have a lot of books," she said laughing.

"Oh great this is going to be fun," he said rolling his eyes.

"Not necessarily no, but once it's done we'll officially be living together."

"I can't wait Ace," Logan said leaning down to her.

"Me either," she said kissing him back.
