RORY POV
The next morning, Finn and I loaded up his SUV and headed to Stars Hollow. I was excited for this trip because even though Mom knew about Finn, this would be the first time that she would really and truly get to know him. I mean yeah, they saw each other when we had dinner with the grandparents but its not the same.
We stopped to get coffee on our way out of town, Finn knowing that I would need at least one cup before we made it to Luke's. The entire car ride, I told Finn little things about Stars Hollow that I thought that he would like. I felt that Finn would click with not only my 'Yale life' but also my 'Stars Hollow life'. Something that no guy so far had been able to do. As we were driving through Hartford, I thought of something that I needed to tell Finn. "So, I might have forgot to mention that we're aren't staying at the house." I said.
Finn glanced over at me before turning his attention back to the road. "How come?" He asked.
"Well for one...I lost my virginity in that bed and for two it isn't big enough."
"Okay...so we buy a new and bigger bed."
I raised an eyebrow at him. "Really?"
He reached for my hand and held it in his own. "Yes. Of course love." He smiled at me as we passed the 'Welcome to Stars Hollow' sign. "I'd do anything for you. Don't you know that by now?" He said to me.
I saw the Luke's sign and told him to park there. Besides Mom knew that this would be my first stop and would probably be here anyway. When we got out of the car, I entwined my fingers with Finn's. I led him into Luke's and we sat at the counter. "Hey Luke." I said.
Luke turned around and saw me and Finn. "Hey Rory. Who's your friend?" Luke said.
"Luke, my boyfriend Finn...Finn this is Luke." I said.
"Its nice to meet you Luke. Rory's told me a lot about you." Finn said as Luke poured me a cup of coffee.
"Nice to meet you, Finn. Coffee?" Finn nodded. Luke turned to me. "I like this one." Luke said now pouring Finn a cup.
"Thanks Luke. Where's Mom? I thought that she would be here when we got in."
"She had a meeting at the bank. Said she'd meet you guys for dinner." Luke said.
I pulled my cell out of my pocket and dialed Mom's number. "Hey sweets." She said when she answered.
"Hey. So I'm at Luke's and I hear that we're not seeing you until dinner tonight?" I said.
"Yeah. Sorry sweets something came up at the Inn. You want Luke's or Chinese?"
Mom said.
"Luke's duh."
"Okay. You and Finn hang out and come by the Inn. I have your key for you." Mom said.
"Oh. Finn and I actually decided that we're going to go buy a new bed for my room." I told her.
"Really?"
"Yeah, he wants to get the full Stars Hollow experience and he has it in his head that...that includes staying at the house."
"Wow. Smart guy. I think that I might actually like this one Ror." Mom said.
"I think you will Mom." I said as I looked over at Finn and smiled.
After Finn and I ate lunch at Luke's I took him over to the house so that we could drop off our bags before we went bed shopping. We decided to go to Hartford to get a new bed. We knew that there would be a chance that we might run into someone in Hartford society that knew of the mine and Logan's breakup. And for some reason I couldn't care less. Finn and I found a furniture store and decided to stop and look around. I wasn't sure if we would find anything that we would like, but it didn't hurt to look. After 45 minutes and to my surprise...we found a bed that we liked. They agreed to have it delivered before 7 o'clock. Finn gave them his cell phone number and asked them to call when they were on the way with the bed. We decided to head back to Stars Hollow so that we could meet up with Mom for dinner.
When we walked into Luke's, Mom was already sitting at a table. We walked over to the table that she was sitting at and we both sat across from her. "Hey Mom." I said.
"Hey sweets. It's good to see you. It's been a while. Hi, Finn." Mom said.
"Hi Lorelai. It's nice to see you. I'm sorry that it wasn't under better circumstances last time." Finn said to Mom.
"Yes, that was an interesting first meeting." Mom said.
"Definitely." I added.
There was silence for a few minutes. "So...your dad called."
"Yeah. How'd that go?" I said, slightly cold. Dad and I had been fighting lately because he had listened to Grandma and tried to help her break up Mom and Luke. Dad always had the worst timing. So needless to say, I hadn't spoken to him lately.
"Ror, don't do that." Mom said.
"What do you want me to say? I haven't talked to him."
"I know you haven't. Apparently no one decided to tell your Dad that you were living in the dorms this year."
"Good for Dad. What's the point Mom?" I said as Luke brought out our food.
"I assume you like the same food as Rory?" Luke asked Finn.
"I do. Thanks." Finn said, as Luke sat a plate with a burger and chili cheese fries on it. "So Lorelai, how is the Inn doing?"
"Its good, thanks for asking. You guys gonna hang around town for the entire week?" Mom asked.
I looked at Finn and he nodded. "Actually Mom, we were thinking about going to Boston for a couple of days." I told her.
"That sounds cool. What's in Boston?" Mom said.
I paused before I said anything and Mom stared at me. "Grandma and Grandpa Hayden." I finally said.
Mom put her burger back on her plate and sat up a little straighter. "Are you serious?" I nodded. "Rory, the last time that you saw them...they criticized you...and me...and your dad. They blamed me and you for your dad not sticking to the dynastic plan. Are you seriously telling me that your going to go see these people?"
"Mom, I have been talking to and seeing them since my freshman year at Yale." I said.
Mom stood up and grabbed her purse. "I can't talk to you about this right now. I have to get back to the Inn. It's gonna be a late night." And she walked out of the diner.
I looked over at Finn. "Sorry about that. Its hard for her to talk about the Hayden's." I told him.
"It's okay. You wanna head back to the house?"
I nodded. "Yeah." I said sadly.
