Life is so strange. He was sitting across from me on the kitchen table, holding his coffee, looking at me, smiling. He was beautiful, his hair was messy but it still looked like every strand was at its place. He smelled incredibly good, his cologne was intoxicating, but his eyes were still the most mesmerising of all. The curtains were open just enough for the sunshine to hit his face and make his hazel chocolate eyes appear a golden shade. He can talk about my blue eyes as much as he wants, but there is nothing that could ever compare to the light in his golden irises when the sun paints it a different shade every time.

For the past two days he has made sure I had everything I could possibly need, he cooked, he cleaned, he hasn't left my side except when he went to the pharmacy or local market, I loved having him around, Logan knew how to treat me, how to spend time with me the right way.

„Work with me." He said out of the bloom, I was taken off guard, not really understanding what he was thinking of. „Work with you on what?" I asked after taking a sip of my decaf. „Work with me in my firm." I instantly shook my head, with food still in my mouth. „You know I can't do that, I need to go my own way." Logan had an instant reply for almost anything that I would say „Well why can't your way be with mine?" He took my hand. „Baby, just imagine the things we could accomplish together, you would just work by my side, I would put you as my CO-CEO and we would-" I interrupted him. „And what? I would be known as Logan Huntzberger's charity case?" He frowned. „Charity Case? Ace, come on." He looked at me as if I was crazy, frowning. „From a nobody to a CO-CEO? Don't you think that sounds a little bit fishy?" I asked and he rolled his eyes mockingly. „Don't sell yourself so short Rory, you're an amazing writer and you have accomplished so much."

He stood up to walk around the big white table, to sit next to me and place his hand on my shoulder. „And who even cares what anyone else has to say?" He smiled at me, there was nothing that I could say after that smile, he could probably get me to jump off of a- oh, I did that too because of that smile.

I nodded, finally giving in, and he happily jumped up, grabbing his phone to probably make some calls to make all of this happen. I also stood up to let my mom know what is happening. I must admit, she wasn't particularly thrilled with it, but she was rarely happy with anything that had to do anything with the high society that Logan was in. But after some sweet talking about it, my mom finally admitted that it was a good thing, that I should embrace the privileges that came with being Logan's girlfriend... hmmm, girlfriend? Was I his girlfriend? I hung up, sat back down and listened to Logan and his conversation. „Yes, write it down, LORELEI LEIGH GILMORE, yes, Rory, my girl." I smiled brightly when I heard that, I guess I was his girlfriend after all.

He came back into the dinning room and kissed me on the cheek. „Everything is being sorted out, If you'd like, you can come to work with me on Monday and sign all of the papers and agreements." I curiously looked at him. „And what are the agreements? That I must not interfere with the integrity of the paper?" I giggled, he nodded and continued „And you must only wear skirts below your knees, I cannot let James from the IT get distracted by those legs." He said with a small chuckle, pinching me ever so slightly on my bare knees.

He stood up go get himself another cup of coffee, oh he didn't have any idea of just how lucky he was to be drinking that. „Ace, you know it's not good for him." He said as if he could read my mind. I rolled my eyes „Maybe just a sip? A... baby sip?" He shook his head and turned around, grabbing another toast and sitting across from me.

„And one other thing, I know you really like living in the city, and it would be easier to get to our job if we lived in the city but-" I quickly cut him off. „No." „But-" „But no, I don't wanna move." He smiled, my stubbornness was something he always found rather challenging than anything else. „Just think about it, moving to a small village or even a smaller town would be so much easier for the baby, it would have more space to grow, we could buy a house, a beautiful, house... Or we could build a house, you could say exactly how you'd like it, I could get the-" „Logan, let's just take this one step at the time, I think this apartment is totally fine for the first few months, it will be a big adjustment as it is moving from London to here let alone-" But he was quicker „My dad has already made all of the calls, my switch should be problem free."
