RORY POV
I was so nervous for tonight. I had always liked Colin but he had always been Logan's friend and so I had never thought more of it even after we slept together the first time. Now with Logan long out of the picture, I was starting to look at Colin differently.
I was trying to decide what to wear when Kaitlyn called me.
"Hey Rory. I haven't talked to you since Friday. How did everything go?"
"It was good. I slept with Colin." I told her
She was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Wow. Are you ok? I knew I shouldn't have left you alone when you were making out but I didn't think you were going to go home with him…" She continued to ramble so I cut her off.
"Kaitlyn. Its fine. It was good actually. We talked and we decided to go on a date and if it goes well then he wants to date me exclusively. He's really serious about me. Besides its not the first time we have had sex."
"What! When did you have sex with him before?" Kaitlyn exclaimed.
I sighed as I recapped the whole story for her about Logan and how I had slept with Colin in college. All she could say was "WOW".
There was more silence on the phone and I could tell she was processing.
"When are you going on your date?" she asked me
"In an hour and I am trying to figure out what to wear."
She started screaming, "Why didn't you call me earlier, I could've helped you."
I started laughing before answering, "I have been getting myself ready for years now. But which dress should I wear, the dark blue dress I wore at Christmas or the red dress I wore for New Years?"
"Fine, take away my fun. Wear the blue dress, it'll bring out your eyes."
With that we talked for a few more minutes before I started getting ready. Finally at 7 I was ready to go. I had chosen to leave my hair down and keep everything else simple.
Finally I heard a knock on my door and opened it to see Colin in a suit looking handsome.
"Wow reporter girl, you look amazing."
I couldn't help but blush at his compliment before saying "Thank You. You look handsome."
With that we left my apartment and headed to his car. Surprisingly it was not a two-seat sports car but rather a four-seat BMW.
Over the drive we talked about how our day had been and what our week was looking like. We finally arrived to this beautiful restaurant that looked familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it.
He walked around the car and opened my door for me before holding out his hand. We continued holding hands as we walked into the restaurant.
We were seated immediately in a private table. I couldn't help myself any longer so I asked him, "Colin, why does this place look so familiar? Have I been here before?"
He smirked before finally speaking, "We came here a long time ago when Logan was in London and Finn and I dragged you to the Harvard v. Yale game out here in Boston. We ended up coming to this restaurant for food and Finn ended up ditching us so you and I ate dinner here. It was the first time things had been normal between us since we slept together and I also remember you loving their food."
I couldn't believe he remembered that. "Wow, I can't believe you remember that."
He looked away and blushed slightly before turning back to me, "It was the night that I realized I had real feelings for you, more than just as Logan's girlfriend. I realized how amazing you are."
Now I started to blush before relieving some tension, "I know I'm amazing, I'm surprised it took you so long to figure it out" I said teasingly.
It worked, he laughed and were able to have a relaxed dinner. We talked about everything and anything. There was never a dull moment in the evening. Throughout dinner he would lean over and give me a chaste kiss. We also held hands for the majority of time when we were not eating. It was simple but intimate and it felt right.
When we left, we got back into his car and we headed over to my apartment. He walked me to my door and I invited him in for a nightcap.
He looked at me contemplating his answer before responding, "Rory, I would love to come in for a nightcap. You have no idea. But I was serious when I said I wanted us to be more. I want you to be my girlfriend. I don't want this to only be about sex…"
He began to ramble and I couldn't help but find it cute. I put my finger over his lips before telling him, "Colin, after tonight I know that I like you and I want to see where this goes. However, that doesn't mean we can't have sex. I wont look at this relationship any differently. Will you?"
"No I wont but I need to know something before I decide whether or not I can accept your offer. Will you be my girlfriend? I mean I know I've never had one but I think I could…"
I cut him off with a searing kiss before saying "Yes, of course I'll be your girlfriend silly."
With that I pulled him into my apartment where we stayed until the next evening. Lucky for us it was a holiday that Monday so neither one of us had work and we were able to stay in bed all day.
