Chapter 10
Colin's POV
After I received that phone call I rushed over from my dorm to her room. I knock on the door but no one answers so I open the door and look around. I soon see her curled up against the wall next to the door. I swoop down and take her in my arms and carry her to the couch. I sit down and she snuggles into my arms sobbing.
"I'm soooo sorrryyy for how I acted today" she says to me as she sobs in my arms.
"No baby, I should be apologising I said those mean things when I didn't have all the facts I shouldn't have. I was an ass like I used to be." I say to her trying to calm her down.
"Am I really that bad?" She whispers to me.
"What do you mean?" I ask her not understanding what she is getting at.
"Does everyone see me as a girl that just plays the field or likes to be with multiple guys?" She say succumbing to more tears.
"If this is about what I said forget it baby, I lashed out in jealousy and not thinking" I say trying to calm her.
"Not just you, Marty had a go at me when I got home from lunch with dad. Heeee said similar things to what you did asked if I was over my rich toy boy and moving onto an older guy. Do I really look like the type of girls that likes her men that much older then her? I'm not Paris damn it" she rambles while holding onto me tightly.
"Just forget about it all I'm here now and I'm so sorry" I say to her as she starts to calm down. I soon hear her breathing steady and I carry her through to her room help her out of her jeans and lay her down in her bed. I slip out of my pants and sweater and lay next to her holding her in my arms, enjoying the close proximity to this amazing young woman.
Rory's POV
I wake up in bed at around 3 am and I look around wondering how I got here. I then look next to myself and see him there and smile. He came when I needed him, I roll over and snuggle into his arms and he tightens his grip around me. I soon drift back to sleep and dream of a peaceful time.
I wake up 6 hours later and find the bed next to me empty and frown. I get up and grab my robe and walk out into the common room to find Colin making coffee and setting up some danish's on a tray. I sneak over behind him and wrap my arms around and kiss the back of his neck.
"Morning Ror. Feeling better?" He asks me.
"So much better that you are here. Do you have any classes today?" I ask him
"Yes but I'm not going anywhere I'm skipping to spend time with my amazing girlfriend" he says to me and I smile.
"That sounds perfect. Now how bout we head back to bed and enjoy some breakfast" I say as I make my way back to bed.
"Whatever my lady wishes for" he says grab the tray and following me. We spend the next hour enjoying our coffee and danish's and just getting to know each other better and on a different level. Soon our concentration is broken by his phone going off.
"Yeah" he says as I take another drink of my coffee.
"Do I have to?" He asks
"But why?" He questions
"Fine but can I bring my girlfriend, make the night easier to tolerate?" He says and I raise my eyebrows listening to this one sided phone call.
"Yes girlfriend, serious relationship...no not a flavour of the week. Alright we will be there. What time?" He says
"Ok bye" he says as he hangs up.
"So where am I going with you and who will be there?" I ask him quickly
"Dinner at home with my dad and stepmom" he says with a frown.
"Ok I hope they like me" I say as a mumble.
"They will love you, your everything they could hope for. They may even think your too good for me.' He says with a wry smile.
"Well the would be wrong Mr McCrea because I think we are great together" I says as I crawl into his lap and wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him gently but with fervour. Things soon escalate very quickly and I pull back to catch my breath.
"What's wrong baby?" He asks me with a look of confusion on his face.
"Nothing, I just don't want to rush the physical side of our relationship" I say to him slightly embarrassed.
"That's fine babe I understand. We can go as slow or as fast as you want" he says to me and I smile at him.
"How about we get dressed go have some lunch at the pub then on the way back grab some junk food and do a movie afternoon?" I say to him.
"Sounds good to me I will pick you up in an hour" he says as he gets up and puts his shoes on and heads out while I grab my stuff do take shower.
An hour later and I'm all dressed in my favourite jeans and sweater, there is a knock at the door.
"Hey handsome" I say to him as I answer the door and give him a quick kiss.
"Hey beautiful, ready to go?" he asks me
"Yep" I say as I grab my purse and keys and lock the door as we leave. We make our way to Rich Mans Shoe and grab a table at the back. We soon finish our meal and head to the shops to get out junk food and movies for our relaxing afternoon. By 2 pm we are lounging on the couch in my dorm sitting back watching Willy Wonka because Colin has never seen it before. Before we know it its 5 pm.
"Hey Col what time do we have to be at your parents? I ask him as I lay back in his arms
"Uhh 7pm for drinks before dinner. So we need to leave in like an hour or so why?" he replies as i jump up out of his embrace.
"Because I have to get ready if I'm going to make a good impression" I say as I rush into my room and into my closet trying to find the right thing to wear after fifteen minutes I finally settle on my midnight blue halter dress. I then quickly rush through to get my make up and hair done while working on this Colin tells me he will be back at 6.15 to pick me up. By just after 6 I have finished curling my hair and done my make up I quickly dress and strap on my shoes on and grab my bag just as Colin knocks on the door. I open the door to find him looking just as dapper as he did at the male Yale party. Just looking at him like that makes me want to jump him, as a look at him i see his eyes graze over me from my stiletto heels to my diamond stud earrings.
"Good God babe you take my breath away" he says as he takes my hand and leads me towards his mustang.
"Don't worry McCrea your doing pretty well at making me want you too" i say to him with a chuckle.
"Can we just blow of my parents and go out to dinner ourselves and then I can show you how much I appreciate how you look" he says to me as he starts the car and makes his way to his parents house.
"I wish we could do that but no, we have to bite the bullet some time and it might as well be now. Because when we get back to Yale I have a surprise for you" I say to him with a wicked grin.
"I am so holding you to that Miss Gilmore" He says to me with a look of desire in his eyes. Twenty minutes later we pull up to a house just down the road from my grandparents that looks almost similar size to theirs.
"Ready for this babe?" He asks me
"In Omnia Paratus" I reply and he smiles at me
"Lets go" he says as we hop out of the car and walk up to the door. He pushes the bell and the maid answers.
"Master Colin, your father is awaiting you and your girlfriend in the parlour" she says to him as she takes our coats and Colin takes my hand and leads me to the parlour towards his father and stepmom.
"Evening father, may I introduce my girlfriend to you. This is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the third or better known as Rory" He says as I look towards Andrew McCrea who I meet at the male Yale party.
"Evening Miss Gilmore, Its nice to see you again" he says with a slight smile on his face.
