Here's a new chapter of my story. I finally found the time to finish it. Thanks to all of you who reviewed, I'm happy everytime I get a new review. Have fun with the new chapter.


11. Physical Attraction

When Rory woke up and felt someone's arm around her she couldn't help but smile. After weeks of waking up in an empty bed there was finally someone there. God, had she missed Logan!

Logan? But why wasn't he in London? How could it be that she woke up in his arms without remembering when he had gotten back?

Just then realization hit her. She didn't lie in Logan's arms but in Finn's. Suddenly her heart started beating rapidly as the events of the previous night came back to her. Steph's party, her fight with Finn, his sudden appearance at her door and, of course, the sex.

The memories flashed up so fast that Rory almost felt sick because of all the different images, scents and feelings she suddenly remembered. Or maybe she only felt sick because of the situation she was in. She turned around to look at Finn, who was still asleep.

What were I thinking? Rory wondered. But she realized immediately that thinking hadn't really been her top priority the night before. It better should have been! she thought in regret.

Why was she so impulsive when it came to sex? She of all people, the one who decided nothing without the help of a pro-con-list. First she had lost her virginity to a married man and now she had cheated on her boyfriend with his best friend. A guy she didn't love and with whom she definitely didn't want a relationship.

Sure, Finn was damn cute and sexy and she couldn't deny the fact that she was physically attracted to him. But she couldn't throw a two year relationship away just for physical attraction. After all she loved Logan!

Rory tried to slip out of Finn's grip without waking him up but she didn't succeed. "Good morning, love." he whispered behind her just as she got up.

"Morning, Finn. Sorry to wake you. Go back to sleep." Rory whispered back and continued to walk towards the kitchen, feeling uncomfortable because she was still completely naked due to their late night activities.

"Are you trying to sneak out early in the morning without waking me up?" Finn asked, trying to hide the amusement in her voice. "If you do, don't forget that this is your apartment we are in. That might make this whole thing a bit hard for you." he added jokingly.

That was too much for Rory. She spun around, ignoring the fact that she was completely naked and sent Finn a pointed glare. "What is wrong with you?" she yelled at him. "Do you really think this is a situation to joke around with? I cheated on my boyfriend, Finn, I cheated on him with you last night. You really think that makes me feel like joking around?"

Finn looked at her, partly surprised and partly shocked. He didn't anticipate that. He thought she wanted him. Sure, that whole situation with Logan wasn't ideal, but they would get past it together. Or not?

"Sorry, Ror. I didn't mean to hurt you. I know that part of you still loves Logan." he told her as he got up and approached her. "But we are going to work things out with him, I promise."

Rory couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Part of me still loves Logan? Finn, I love him more than anything in the world. I will always love him. This is a disaster, I'm never going to be able to work this out with him. He won't forgive me, I don't deserve to be forgiven." Rory rambled on without realizing how much each of her words hurt Finn.

"You will always love him." he mumbled to himself. "But I thought … last night … you … me … What was that all about?" he added a bit louder, but still unable to look into Rory's eyes.

"What? Finn, what does it matter? It was physical attraction, nothing more. What matters is that I cheated on Logan, my boyfriend." Rory answered, finally going to the bathroom to find a robe to put on. It was too awkward to have this conversation with Finn while she was naked.

"Physical attraction?" Finn asked in disbelief. "You want to tell me that I destroyed a friendship that lasted half a lifetime for nothing but physical attraction?" His voice became louder and Rory could hear that he was pretty angry.

"What would you say it was?" she asked, not sure if she really wanted to hear his answer. Why was he angry? Did it mean more to him in the end?

"Rory, are you serious. You really ask me that?" Finn said, unable to hide the despair in his voice. "It wasn't just physical attraction to me. I think I'm in love with you, Ror." he admitted to the trembling girl in front of him.

She stared at him as if he had three heads. That couldn't be true! She shook her head and looked up at him. "No, Finn, you are not! It's a crush, nothing more." she told him, desperately hoping he would tell her that he hadn't been serious about being in love with her.

"Great, Ror. Tell me what I feel." he replied sarcastically. "Or better, keep telling yourself that it didn't mean anything what happened between us. Maybe you start believing it then."

"It didn't mean anything!" Rory yelled back, knowing that he was somehow right. She had to make herself believe that it hadn't meant anything, that way she might be able to hide it from Logan. If it wasn't important, she could hide it from him.

"Come on, Ror, we both know that you are not that kind of girl that sleeps with a guy just for fun or because she wants sex. If you have sex, it does mean something! But it's your job to find out what it meant, not mine." Finn gave back, quickly put on his jeans and shirt and left.

Rory stared at the door and kept wondering how she had gotten to this point. She had neither been drunk nor was there any other true reason for her to cheat on Logan. But nevertheless she had done it, with none other than Finn.

Suddenly she couldn't hold back the tears anymore. She was sure that she had never felt that bad before. Never in all her life had she been in a situation she absolutely didn't know how to deal with.

She stood in the middle of the apartment and cried silent tears until she heard a knock on the door. Who could that be? Was Finn coming back to finish their conversation? Or did Steph want to look for her after the disaster at the party the night before?

Rory looked at herself in the mirror and wiped away the tears. The person standing at the door knocked once again until Rory was finally ready to open it. And when she did she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Did you miss me, Ace?" a smirking Logan asked her before he put his arms around her and pulled her in a long and gentle hug. For a second Rory was completely shocked and unable to do or say anything.

"You're here!" she whispered then, put her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. "I've missed you so much." she added. That was true. No matter what had happened between her and Finn, she had always missed Logan.

"I've missed you, too, Ace!" Logan answered. "I just couldn't stay in London any minute longer without you." he told her honestly. He would talk about the real reason why he had come later. Right now all that mattered was that they were finally reunited, that he could finally hold his Ace again.

Rory pulled him down and gave him a gentle kiss. Her heart was beating rapidly. Logan was actually here and she was lying in his arms again finally. Everything could be so perfect. Everything could be so perfect if he'd have come yesterday! she thought to herself as Logan deepened the kiss and pulled her even closer to him. Yesterday. Before I gave in to Finn.
