the other gilmore

Chapter seven

jess?..

Over the next couple of weeks Logan and Layla had been on a few "Dates", mostly her hanging out with him and his friends. There were so many times they almost kissed but got interrupted by something or someone.

That morning he came to her dorm with coffee to take her to the newsroom for their weekly meeting,always a bore. Layla walked out and headed straight to the door avoiding her sister,things have gotten worse. They haven't talked since the party,but the night of a very drunk Rory called Layla trying to apologize.

"Layla, I'm so sorry, I had no clue Dean was going to act like that, I swear!

He broke up with me minutes after we left,I'm at Lanes. Please come get me,I want to talk in person .Actually I doubt you'll want to talk to me,please forgive me. I'm not sure how I hurt you but I'm sorry, please talk to me. We just got to talking again and Dean messed it all up again."

She sighed and ended the call. Back to what's going on today,Logan grabbed her and kissed her on the cheek,"well good morning to you too", she pulled back and laughed at him

"Good morning ace, ready for the meeting?" he grabbed her again putting his arm over her shoulders ,"mhm lets see,getting lectured by Doyle, getting shushed by paris about 10 times, so yep!"

"Well okay then, catch me up after?"

"You aren't going?! Who am I supposed to survive the rants with?"

"Well i'm going out of town till monday,sorry Lu"

"Nope you can't go,at least not till after the meeting"

"Well talk to Paris,oh wait you'll get shushed. It will be okay you only have to be there for 20 minutes,okay go to the meeting and text me right when it's over"

He let go,she turned to look him right in the eyes,"fine Huntzberger you're out this one time, i mean it!".

"Bye Ace!"he walked away as she stepped into the newsroom,Doyle was already speaking,"well gilmore late i see,Will Logan be joining us?"

She snickered,"umm no he's out of town"

"So I didn't just see him with you?",she walked to paris slightly hitting her in the arm,"Doyle i think you're seeing things. Have your eyes been checked by a doctor recently? I think you should if you haven't by now!"

Little laughs filled out through the whole room,she patted Doyle's shoulder as Paris told him to ignore her and continue. Paris was trying extremely hard not to laugh,her face as red as a tomato,she tried not to look over at layla otherwise she would break.

"...well I feel like I'm repeating myself since none of you listen to me anyway!..."

After Doyle finished his "speech",more like a lecture, layla spoke up trying to lighten up the mood,"Well doyle i think we can all agree we hear you and hear how you feel. On behalf of the team here, we apologize for you feeling like you're repeating,but maybe once in a while try a different tone or not yelling and your point might get across easier. But again just a suggestion and we are truly sorry."When she was done speaking there was obvious laughter. She stepped behind Paris hoping Doyle wouldn't hit her or something like that.

"Well thank you for that sincere apology. Now people get to work!"

Layla's phone rang,she stepped out of the room while a very agitated Doyle screaming at her,"hello?",she didn't recognize the caller i.d.

"Hey layla,its jess"

"Hey Jess,what's up?"

"Well I was wondering when you would be free? I was thinking I could drive down to New Haven sometime."
