Chapter: 3
Rory just stood there looking into the bag she didn't know how long she had been standing there but it must have been a while because the next thing she knew Paris was waving her hand in front of her face.
"Gilmore? Gilmore! It's not that big of a deal they are just bikinis." Paris said walking away from Rory and went to sit on the end of the bed. "And people thought that I was over dramatic." Paris muttered to herself.
"No Paris these are not bathing suits, a bathing suit covers all the things that you want covered these don't."
"They cover the essentials and that is what matters."
"PARIS! They are not something that I would wear. Thank God my mom gave me money to get another bathing suit, and don't you have your own room? Get out of mine." Rory said as she opened the door motioning for Paris to get out.
"Wow Gilmore I never thought that you would get so upset over articles of clothing." Paris said as she got up from the bed and walked to the door.
"These are not articles of clothing. I don't know what to call these things right now, but they are most definitely not clothing. Will you please leave now so that I can go get an appropriate bathing suit."
"Fine Gilmore I'm going. Just don't get another one piece." Paris said as she walked out the door.
'Don't get a one piece? What other bathing suit does she expect me to get? Because I most definitely am not getting another one of these things. Now I wonder where I can get another bathing suit around here.' Rory thought to herself as she walked around the room and gathered the things that she was going to take with her when she went to look for a new bathing suit. As she was pulling the door of her hotel room closed she bumped into something hard or someone for that matter.
"I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing." When Rory looked up she saw that she had run into a petite blonde.
"Oh not a problem. Where ya headed to?" The blonde asked.
"To try and find a place to get a bathing suit. You?" Rory asked hoping that the blonde would be able to tell her where to get one.
"I was trying to find my idiot friends but I can't seem to and there is one place down the street that I always go to, I could show you if you like? But they probably aren't even open yet. We can go later if you want? Oh I'm Stephanie Vanderbilt by the way but everyone calls me Steph." Steph said as she offered Rory her hand.
"Yeah that would probably be a good idea seeing as I have no idea where I am going, but what I really need is coffee and not the hotel's coffee either. I need real coffee. I'm Rory Gilmore." Rory said taking Steph's hand and shaking it. "So how long are you here for?" Rory asked trying to keep the conversation going. 'She's a Gilmore? As in Mr. & Mrs. Gilmore's granddaughter. She must be as out of society as they say because she should know that my family is one of the big families of Hartford Society.' Steph thought to herself.
"About the next week or so then me and some friends of mine are going on another trip. There is a little coffee place in the same area as the store I am going to show you. It might be open by time we get there it is four-thirty in the morning and if its not then we can sit around and talk, since we are both going to be here for the next week or so, it would be nice to have a girl around that I can talk to that has a brain because my friends hang around girls that clearly don't. Which I can see that you have a brain by the way that you carry yourself. You should meet my friends I think that you would fit in perfectly with us and as I said before it would be nice to have another girl to talk to even if it is only for the next week or so. Sorry I tend to ramble when I am excited." Steph said. Rory was just looking at her in amazement because she had never met someone that could ramble or rant as much as her and her mother, it was nice to see that there were other people out there that did ramble and rant like her mother did.
"Sorry for staring at you it's just that I don't know many people that can keep up with me or my mother in the rambling department. It's just nice to know that there is someone that will be able to keep up with me for the next week. I like the idea of us talking to each other, oh and please don't tell anyone that I am a Gilmore I hear that the Harrington Heir is here with some of his friends and I really want to be treated differently because they might know my grandparents. Now let's get going so that we can get coffee because a Gilmore Girl without coffee is a bad thing and everyone them is at the risk of getting hurt." Rory said as she walked in the direction that she thought was right, and Steph just laughed at the girl's logic.
"I know that you said that you didn't want people knowing that you are a Gilmore, because you don't want people to treat you differently because they might know your grandparents, but what makes you think that people will treat you any different?" Steph asked curious as to what the answer might be.
"Because it seems that anywhere I go and people that are there know my grandparents they always seem to treat me differently than when I was just plain old Rory and I don't want that to happen. I have never used my name to get things that I wanted and I don't plan on starting now." Rory said matter-of-factly she kept walking in the direction that she was hoping that it was the right direction, when a hand grabbed her elbow and steered her to the right.
"What do you mean you have never used your name to get what you wanted? What did you get that you didn't use your last name and connections for?" Steph asked because she really wanted to know, what was so different about this girl. Yeah she already realized that the girl didn't like to flaunt her name and that she wasn't from society per-say because of her mom but she did have the connections behind her name.
"Well I got into Princeton, Yale, Harvard, and some other prestigious schools based on my academics. " Rory stated very proud of herself, she looked around and saw that they were coming to a corner and was that the light said open.
"Wow. That's good what school do you go to?" Steph asked
"Let's get to know one another a little better before I go and tell you that, shall we." Rory suggested pulling Steph along so that she could get coffee faster. Steph allowed Rory to pull her along and just laughed as they went.
"Fair enough." Steph said as they entered the coffee shop.
Rory walked up to the counter and ordered four large cups of coffee, she turned to Steph and asked. "What would you like?"
"What one of those four coffee's isn't for me." Steph asked and Rory just shook her head no with and meek smile on her face.
"Wow you must really love coffee. I'll have a Medium coffee with creamer." Steph told the woman behind the counter.
"As I told you a Gilmore Girl without coffee is not a good one and it puts everyone around her in danger." They stood there and waited for their coffee to be ready, when the woman handed them their coffee's by the time they found a place to sit Rory had already drank one of her coffee's.
"As I stated before you really must love coffee. Didn't that burn your mouth?" Steph asked.
"Nope, I grew a tolerance for it a while ago." Rory stated as she drank half of one of her coffee's in one gulp.
They sat there for nearly four more hours talking about everything from what they were majoring in college to what they were going to while on Spring Break.
"Ok I think that the place should be open by now, let's go get you a new suit." Steph said pulling Rory up from her seat.
"Wait Steph I need to get another coffee." Rory said pulling Steph back towards the line.
"Ror that's like eight coffee's now. You don't need any more." Steph protested.
"I just need one for on the way there and when we come back I need to get one for on their way back to the hotel. I promise no more than that." Rory said as she got in line and ordered a large black coffee.
"Alright you have your coffee now can we go?" Steph asked.
"Yes we can go now." Rory said as they walked out of the coffee shop and to the next store.
"So what kind of bathing suit do you want to get?" Steph asked.
"I want to get another one piece because my mom stole mine and replaced it with two bikinis." Rory said a little angry remembering what her mom had done.
"Why do you need a one piece and what is wrong with bikinis?" Steph asked with her hands on her hips.
"I am more comfortable in a one piece and there is nothing wrong with bikinis they are just not for me." Rory said as she looked through the bathing suits but shortly found out that all they had were bikinis. "Well this is just my luck." Rory huffed.
"Well let's see if we can find you one that you will feel comfortable in and that will look good on you . I think that it should be something blue." Steph said immediately jumping in and looking through the bikinis. They were in the store for over two hours trying things on but Rory couldn't find anything that she liked and that made her feel good about herself. Finally she had enough.
"Steph I'm done. No more. I will just have to settle for the ones that my mom got me."
"Wait Ror I found two that you might like. One is light blue with white stars and it had boy shorts the other one is a dark blue with black lace and it has boy shorts as well. Just try these last two on and if you still don't like them we can leave how about that?"
"Fine. Give them to me, but now that I have to do this I get to have two more coffee's." Rory said with a smile.
"Ror you don't need two more just have the one."
"It's either two or I don't try these on."
"Fine." Steph huffed in defeat.
Rory tried the two bikinis on and fell in love with them.
"Oh My God Steph you are amazing!" Rory said as she came out of the dressing room with them both in hand.
"What I don't get to see them on you? Now how is that fair?" Steph pouted.
"Because you get to see me in them all week." Rory smiled cheekily and walked to the cash register to pay for them. "Now for my coffee."
"You are addicted." Steph said rolling her eyes.
"I know."
They walked back into the coffee shop and Rory didn't even have to say anything they had it ready for her.
"Wow you are not even here for more than a day and you have them memorized what you get." Steph said in amazement.
"I know I have that talent anywhere I go. Almost all of the coffee kiosks at my school know me by heart and all they have to do is see me coming and they have my order ready by the time I get there." Rory said proud of herself.
"Wow, you have them Gilmoreized."
"Gilmore what?"
"Gilmoreized means you have them wrapped around your little Gilmore finger."
"Oh." Rory said looking down at her feet.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of I think it's pretty bad ass."
"Oh ok. So when am I going to meet these friends of yours anyway?" Rory asked as they got back to the hotel.
"Here is one of the idiots now. FINN!" Steph called.
Rory looked around to see who she was calling after and she saw a tall dark haired guy turn around.
"What can I do for you sweets?" The guy that was supposedly Finn asked in a heavy Australian accent.
"I would like you to meet a new friend of mine Rory Gil…" Before Steph could finish her sentence Rory pinched her.
"Owww Rory what was that for?" Step asked then realized that she almost said Rory's last name. "Never mind I know what I did." Steph said looking around. "Where are the other two idiots?"
"Well sweets I will give you two guesses as to where they are." Finn said.
"I only need one. They are somewhere drinking and trying to find a girl to spend the night as we would call it with."
"That would be the case. I would love to stay and chat but the sun is blinding me and I need sleep." Finn turned to walk away but gave the girl that Steph was talking about a good look. "Well hello Love."
"Hi." Was all that Rory said.
"Forget about sleep and the sun I want to get to know you better Love."
Rory laughed and turned to Steph. "Your friend is crazy and I need to get to sleep." Rory said turning towards her room.
"Come back Love, you can't leave. I'm exotic."
"Yeah so is the swine-flu but you don't go playing with it now do you?" Rory retorted and saw the looks that were on Steph's and Finn's face. "What it's true?" Rory asked shrugging her shoulders.
"Nothing, it's nothing. Come on Finn lets go and let Ror get some sleep." Steph said as she pulled Finn with her.
Rory walked into her hotel room and flopped down on her bed thinking over the events of the day. She had left Connecticut and came to Florida for Spring Break something that she would normally never do, Paris used her name to get things yet another thing that she would normally never do, and she met two new friends. 'So something good has come out of this trip. That's a start' was the last thing Rory thought before she fell asleep.
