I don't own Gilmore girls
Finn woke up the next day and had to do a few things before he was taking Rory out to Dinner later that day. Rory. It had been so odd to be hanging out with Rory without Logan. Not that he hadn't done it before well Logan was in London but that had been different. The presence of Logan had always been there. He knew she belonged with Logan. He'd never do something about his own feelings because of that but now she was single. Logan was on the other side of the country and Rory was here. He checked his facebook and chuckled at her last update.
Sleep tight kitten he wrote under her status update. He saw that Logan had also written a comment as had Stephanie.
Logan: That's a lot of Bags there ACE
Steph: hope you had fun Girly Thank you FinnMorgan
Finn chuckled at Steph's message and liked it he felt a slight pang seeing Logan's nickname for Rory. It was a stark reminder that they had a connection.
He shook his head and went down to his office he had a few things to take care of though he noticed he kept looking towards the clock every few minutes. He'd always carried a torch for Lorelai (Rory) Gilmore. From the moment he met her at that coffee cart, but L
Logan had swooped in and swept her off her feet. So he'd pretended to just be the drunk friend and forget her name. Then Logan had went away to London and Rory had been devastated Finn had been there to pick up the pieces and they'd became close. Closer then he'd ever been to any other girl except for Stephanie. She'd still been with Logan though. He sighed and shook his head. He tossed the papers away from him. No use trying to get any work done it was obviously a lost cause.
He stood up and made his way back to his room to change and double check his reservations. At Six on the dot he knocked on Rory's door. She opened it looking like she'd raced towards it as she tried to push her feet into her shoe. "Well Kitten this is a new look."
"Finn What have a taught you about not being on time to a Gilmore girl. No always be late."
"Sorry Kitten I forgot." He chuckled. "you go get ready and I'll just sit over here. He indicated the couch. She smiled and walked back into her room as he sat on the couch ten minuet's later she came back out.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes lets get this show on the road. " Finn jumped up and Rory laughed. When they made it to the restaurant and had been seated as they looked over the menu Finn Looked at Rory. He hadn't had much time to talk to her the day before. "So the Obama campaign how are you liking that job?"
"it's different." She shrugged. "I don't know if I'd want to stay on the political beat for the rest of my career but for now it's a new challenge. When we leave here I'll actually be getting on a plane and meeting a different bus."
"Oh where are you going?"
"California." She wasn't sure if she was imagining things but she was almost positive he had flinched at her destination.
"Oh are you going to see Logan well you are out there?" he was almost dreading the answer
"Yes I believe I will meet up with him at some point. He sent me some emails letting me know that he agrees we were not meant to be but I still don't want to lose him as a friend I never wanted that."
Finn breathed a silent sigh of realif that there were no immediate plans for a Rory and Logan romantic reunion. They split a bottle of wine and dined on some fine food talking about their Yale years and Finn's work.
"So how it working at Morgan holdings I can't believe I never knew your last name." Rory laughed at herself."
"It's actually more enjoyable then I was expecting." Finn said. "I actually find that I'm good at this."
"Well Finn I'm glad that you found something that makes you happy." She decided to tease him a little bit. "That isn't a red head or scotch."
"Ah yes the red heads got boring." Of course he would never tell her that red heads never really held any appeal for him they were just a distraction tactic. A distraction from Rory.
"you got bored of something not you." Rory teased again.
"Hey I can focus if I want to." Finn Said mock offended.
"I know that." Rory sobered "And I'm very proud of you for where you are right now." She noticed a light blush go over his face at her words.
"Thank you." He took a drink. At the end of the night he dropped her off at her door. "Well Miss Gilmore tonight was great." He bent down and kissed her cheek. "keep in touch."
"Always." She whispered feeling a tingling where his lips had touch her cheek.
She watched him walk away and wondered when she'd see him next. She touched her cheek as she let herself into the room.
He waited until she was behind closed doors before he turned and walked to his own room. The night had been great catching up with Rory. He wasn't sure where they stood right now he knew she was going to California and seeing Logan he didn't want to even think about starting anything when Logan and Rory were not completely over. She said they were but he felt that they needed to see each other and settle it face to face and even then Rory might not be ready to move on. He'd wait though. He'd wait forever if he must.
