Chapter Five: New Relationships?
"Are you not having fun, Teagan?" Steph asked breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Huh? Yeah I'm having fun. Why do you ask?" I said coming back to reality we were at the food court in the mall.
"Because you've been pensively staring at your food and you've been quiet all day."
"Just thinking."
"About?"Rory inquired.
"Something."
"Is that something Finn."Steph teased.
"Why do you think I'm thinking about Finn?" I said pushing my food around with me fork.
"Because we saw the way you two clicked last night." Rory supplied.
"Yeah! You're perfect for Finn!" Steph exclaimed. "You're gorgeous!"
"You're a red head."Rory added.
"You drink like a fish."
"You really do. When we were on the campaign trail we ran into Tristan this guy I knew from Chilton." Rory said turning to Steph. "We went out for drinks she matched him drink for drink. I honestly thought you two would've ended up together."
"Well Mary." I shot at her smiling. "I had to make sure Captian Dugrey knew to look after my brother while in Iraq, mostly to make sure he didn't die for some stupid reason, such as my brother can't shoot a gun."
"You were Mary in high school!"Steph exclaimed.
"Steph we were talking about Teagan and Finn."Rory said getting her off subject.
"Oh yeah, like I said you two would be perfect for each other."
"You guys want me to pursue a relationship with a guy I just met?"
"Yes." They answered together.
"Which is why you should totally ask him out." Steph said.
"I don't think so." I said shaking my head.
"Why not?" Steph whined.
"Gilmore girls don't make the first move."Rory explained.
"But she's not a Gilmore girl!"
"Doesn't matter mom made her an honorary one, she calls Teagan her red headed child she never had, her long lost second daughter."
"Even if I wasn't a honorary Gilmore girl I still wouldn't make the first move."
"Fine." Steph pouted. "But you have to make us deal."
"What?"
"The first guy to ask you out, no matter who it is you accept."
"Sounds fair, why do you guys want to me date so badly."
"So we can go on triple dates together and do stuff, and have our boyfriends carry our bags around duh."
"Jake, Jake my best friend, the love of my life, the other owner of this bar!"TI exclaimed plopping down on a bar stool.
"Teagan, Rory." Jake said nodding his head.
"Oh yeah Jake that's Steph."
"Hi. What are you doing here?"
"We're having a little get together later." Rory said.
"Thank you Rory. I had feeling Teagan wouldn't tell me."
"Of course I would have. I love you Jake." Teagan said making a heart with her fingers and placing it over her heart.
"What do you want to drink?"
"Long Island Ice Tea." she said answering quickly.
"Rory?"
"Coffee."
"Steph?"
"Chocolate Martini."
"Coming up."
"Uh. Boss." A waiter said coming up.
"What?" both Jake and I asked.
"Oh hey Teagan."
"Hey, Seth."
"We have a problem in back."
"I'll handle it." Jake said. "Teagan can you still make drinks?"
"Really?"
"I know stupid question." he said walking away.
"You guys go sit down I'll make the drinks."
"Alright."
"I wonder if they're here yet?" I questioned stepping out of the car.
"Rory texted 30 minutes ago saying they were here and that there was some kind of problem and that Teagan was behind the bar tonight." Logan said.
"Really now?"
"What's a Teagan?" Robert asked getting out of the car.
"Tell me again why we invited him?" I asked. "And Teagan is a her not who, she's Logan's cousin."
"We invited him because he's our friend." Colin explained. "Finn what are you planning?"
"Nothing I'm just going to go inside and order a drink." I said taking strides toward the pub.
"Ah! A woman behind the bar one of my numerous fantasies!" I exclaimed seeing Teagan. "A woman after my own heart!"
"Hi, Finn what can I get you." She said laughing.
"Sex on the beach."
"Are you propositioning me Mr. Morgan?" She asked her eyes shining with mischef.
"Perhaps is it working kitten?"
"Kitten? I thought I was love."She pouted.
"You're both you are Kitten Love, or Love Kitten."
"Oh, Finn you and your accent how I love it!" She exclaimed placing the drink in front of me.
"Hey, Teagan I'm back you can go."
"Thank you Jake for helping you out today, you owe me free drinks for the night."
"Teagan you own half this bar you automatically get free drinks."
"That's right. Then my friend Finn here gets free drinks."
"Finn drinks like a fish!"
"So?"
"Fine, Finn gets free drinks."
"Thank you."
"Here we are Love."I said pulling her chair out for her.
"Thank you Finn." She said looking up at me and smiling.
"Finn I need to talk to you."Steph said pulling me away.
"Can it wait, Love."
"No! Finn."
"What do you want Stephanie?" I asked exasperated the sooner we got done here the sooner I could get back to talking to Teagan.
"You need to make a move and soon."
"Steph I don't know if you realize this but you are already taken."
"Not on me you idiot! You need to ask Teagan out and soon!"
"Steph what did you do?"I demanded.
"We had Teagan promise us that she would give the next guy who asked her out a chance."
"Well I'd hate to sound conceited. But I'm pretty sure she would accept if I were to ask her out."
"Good, good you just need to ask her out soon because Robert was making googly eyes at her!"
"Alright, alright as soon as we get back to the table I will ask her." Of course Robert would try and ask her out. I thought bitterly clenching my teeth.
"Charlotte Fields, right?" A guy asked I had noticed him walk in with Colin and Logan, he was cute but he wasn't as hot as Finn.
"Actually I go by Teagan." I said extending my hand for him to shake.
"Just ignore him Teagan, he's an ass." Logan warned.
"Robert Banks," he said kissing my hand. "I only called you Charlotte because I noticed some of your pictures on Hugo's online magazine. They're quite beautiful."
"Thank you,Robert." I said smiling
"Forgive me for being forward Miss Fields-"
"I think you can call me Teagan."
"Well, Teagan how would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?"
"Umm." Remember the promise Teagan, but then again when you promised you also thought that Finn would ask you out. Come on Finn show up and whisk me away.
"Sure why not." I said smiling.
"Awesome, I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight."
"Okay." I said looking up in time to see Finn giving Steph and Rory a death glare.
AN: Don't worry Teagan and Finn will end up together.
