Chapter 6- Colin

The drive to Rory's was quiet. I could tell that something was on her mind. When we pulled into Rory's driveway, we walked to the front door. Rory unlocks her door and opens it. She turns to me. "I'm sorry that we didn't get to spend much time together today." She said stepping closer to me.

"Its ok." I said. Although I was kind of bummed. "You can't help that you got called into work. We can do something tomorrow." I said kissing her forehead.

"Stay with me tonight."

"Are you sure? I mean I know that its only been a couple of days and today has been…long."

"Col, I've been crazy about you since college. And I wouldn't be asking you to stay if I wasn't sure." She said walking into her house. I followed her in and closed the door behind me. Rory had a point. I mean it wasn't like we were 2 strangers that met a couple of days ago and decided to date. I followed her into the kitchen. "You want coffee?"

"Sure." I say walking up behind her and I wrap my arms around her waist. I turn her to face me. She was fight back tears. "Ror, I wasn't trying to upset you. Its just…even though we just started dating, you mean the world to me. And I know that we haven't talked about everything but I have to say that when Logan called me and Finn and told us that you turned down his proposal…I felt relieved. I wanted to find you and comfort you because he was an idiot." I said.

Rory breaks into full blown tears. "I didn't tell him no because I didn't want to get married. I told Logan no because I was in love with you. During the year that Logan was in London, you and Finn were there for me. Especially when I needed cheering up. And somewhere along the line I fell in love with you but I was to scared to tell you." She said.

"And now?" I asked running my fingers up her arm.

She leans up and kisses me. I pull her to me as close as I can and deepen the kiss. When we pull back, she looks at me and says, "What do you think?"

"I think that you mean more to me than anything and that I really, really want to take you to bed now." I said smiling at her.

"I thought you would never ask." She said grabbing my hand and leading me upstairs.
