Chapter 1
A Night of Unrest
She strapped on her heels and quietly left the room, as the door closed behind her she released the breath she was holding and smiled, it wasn't like her but she had no regrets.
He slowly woke remembering the night before and smiled. He looked around the room but she was gone, he wasn't expecting her to be there although another go at it wouldn't be bad in fact it would be pleasurable. He walked over to the bathroom and to his surprise in big letters across the mirror was her good-bye written in her lipstick "Thanks for last night – L." he just continued to smile as he got ready for his day.
She sat back in her first class seat and yawned, she was tired, her time in D.C. was hectic and last night, she smiled, didn't help. Last night was supposed to be an early night for her but that's not how it ended up.
She was in D.C. for Paris' wedding to Jaime; she still couldn't believe that after 10 years the two were still together and now married. She was more than happy for Paris but also jealous, jealous that she didn't have anyone. It was her own fault she didn't allow herself time to meet anyone. She had been working at the family law firm since she was 23 and now 5 years later she was at the top of her game but that took a toll on her life, what was she thinking she had no love, no fun, no life. She wondered what her life would have been like if she stayed in the states for college and law school, but since she always wanted to please everyone she decided not to choose between Yale and Harvard and went to Oxford. She always wanted to follow in her father's and grandfather's footsteps so she didn't think it would be bad to go to college in England and finish her law degree before most of her counterparts in the U.S. were still taking their LSAT's. She had not problem passing the bar exam in the states and began working. She did have fun in college, in fact she had a blast but that ended when she moved back to the states. All her friends were in cities other than Boston, even her older brother C.J. was away working for the family in London. She loved her job but she wondered if she would end up with a career and nothing else.
The wedding celebration started on Wednesday and ended Sunday with a wedding brunch; Rory decided that after the busy week, that one more night away would be good for her. Not that she had to get back to work but she needed some rest before going to visit her mom in Stars Hollow.
She sat on the sofa in the lounge of the hotel reading her book and drinking a glass of wine when the waitress came over and informed her that the man at the bar bought her another glass. She looked up and saw an attractive man with blond hair smiling at her, she smiled back and raised her glass to thank him for the drink. Through her years she learned to read people and she pretty much knew what he was about, he was someone looking for some fun for the night. She saw him make his way over and at that moment decided that tonight she wasn't going to be the workaholic Rory Gilmore-Hayden she was going to be the free and wild girl from college Rory Gilmore. He sat down in the chair next to her ready to introduce himself when she spoke, "Hi, thank you for the drink"
"No thanks necessary I just wanted to make sure that the most beautiful girl was taken care of."
She laughed, "Don't I feel special, the most beautiful girl in a practically empty room."
"I'm Logan".
"Stop." She put her finger on his lips. "Listen, we can spend the next few hours pretending to get to know each other but we both know what your agenda entails and that is to get me into your bed tonight." She looked at him and noticed the smirk on his face, and smiled again at him. "Now I don't ever do this but you're attractive and you seem to be in good enough shape to keep up with me so if you're in I'm in." She knew she was being bold but she hadn't had sex in a while and she had a lot of pent up energy.
His face was blank than he smiled." I'm in."
"Good, but I have a few questions."
"Shoot."
"Are you married?"
"No." he replied.
"Fiancée, serious girlfriend, or a girlfriend at all?"
"Again, no."
"Okay, now I have one request."
"And that would be."
"That you don't tell me your last name nor do you ask for mine."
"Okay but I do have one question."
"Shoot"
"What's your name?"
She smiled "Lorelai."
At this they both stood up and made their way to his room for a night she would never forget.

He sat in the lounge, it was still early and he wasn't tired so he decided a drink would be good. He didn't really want to be here but there were some disagreements at a local paper his family owned so he was there to try and resolve the problem. Usually he would fly in the day of the meeting but he decided to come in a day before so that he could rest up and get into the office early and hopefully have the problem resolved by the end of the day.
He sighed; he was tired of this life. While working to establish a name for himself he let his life take a back seat. His thoughts wandered to his friends Colin and Finn. They were great, Colin and Stephanie married over the winter and were enjoying being newlyweds, while Finn calmed down after Yale went on to get his MBA and now ran his family's business. Not that he wasn't responsible, in fact since he began working for Huntzberger Enterprises he managed to make a good name for himself. His family was proud of him but the one thing that they did brother him about was that he had not settled down. He would love to find the right girl but he hadn't found her yet, and the socialites his mother continuously introduced to him were definitly not the right girls for him. He needed someone he could talk to about more than the latest fashion tried. So while waiting to find the right girl he still had fun with the wrong girls.
He was nursing his scotch when he saw her walk in. She was quite attractive, she was wearing a pair of jeans, strappy sandals and a form fitting t-shirt that showed off her great figure, her chocolate colored hair was down with loose waves framing her face and he noticed her eyes. She only looked in his direction briefly but it was enough for him to notice the bright blue eyes. He watched her walk over to the sofa order something from the waitress and pull out a book from the purse she was carrying. He smirked, she not only had a great body and face but from what she was reading she must have also had a brain. He was intrigued and if she really didn't have a brain maybe he could still have some fun.
He asked the waitress to take her over another glass of wine, and watched as accepted that glass. The waitress pointed him out and he saw her smile and lifts the glass to him, thanking him. He smiled back and decided this was his opportunity to go over; he still lived by the words of the LDB, In Omnia Paratus. He didn't know what to expect from her but it wouldn't hurt to find out.
He sat down in the armchair next to her and was about to introduce himself but she began first.
"Hi, thank you for the drink"
"No thanks necessary I just wanted to make sure that the most beautiful girl here was taken care of."
She laughed, "Don't I feel special, the most beautiful girl in a practically empty room."
"I'm Logan".
"Stop." She put her finger on his lips and he felt a spark from that simple touch. "Listen, we can spend the next few hours pretending to get to know each other but we both know what your agenda entails and that is to get me into your bed tonight." He was smirking at least he didn't have to make a play, he noticed her smile again. "Now I don't ever do this but you're attractive and you seem to be in good enough shape to keep up with me so if you're in I'm in."
His face was blank, did she really think that anyone could were him out. She didn't know who she was dealing with than he smiled." I'm in."
"Good, but I have a few questions."
"Shoot."
"Are you married?"
"No." he replied.
"Fiancée, or serious girlfriend, or a girlfriend at all?"
"Again, no."
"Okay, now I have one request."
"And that would be."
"That you don't tell me your last name nor do you ask for mine."
"Okay but I do have one question."
"Shoot"
"What's your name?"
She smiled and he was taken aback again about how attractive she was "Lorelai." She replied
At this they both stood up and made their way to his room for a night he would never forget.
