Waking up was hard today. I hit snooze on my alarm. I just wanted to stay cuddled in bed and sleep for a few more hours. I laid there thinking about my summer so far. I was having way more fun than I ever thought I could. It had a lot to do with Finn, Colin, and Logan. I just hoped after the summer we stayed in touch, especially Finn. I knew in my heart I was falling for him and fast. There was no way to stop or get off this train. I just hope it doesn't hurt too bad when it has to end or be put on hold.
After that sorrow filled revelation, I got out of bed and dressed in a cute but comfortable summer dress. I slipped on my sandals and made my way downstairs for breakfast and several cups of coffee.
Grandma was no where to be found so I poured myself a cup of coffee, downed it, and then poured another. The maid asked me if pancakes were ok for today and I happily accepted.
I sat down at the table and picked up the newspaper. I was surprised that it was the New York Times and it was today's date. How is that possible? I really shouldn't be surprised that somehow Grandma was able to get today's newspaper before it was even delivered in America.
I read a few of the headlines before placing the newspaper down. It was so surreal. Life was still happening all around me while I was off enjoying Europe. Even though I wasn't keeping up with the news, things were still going on. I felt like my protective bubble just popped and drenched me in vinegar.
The Dean situation really happened and no matter how hard I tried to forget it I couldn't. I did the unthinkable. I slept with a married man. And then I ran away.
I was brought back to reality when the maid placed a plate full of pancakes, strawberries, and whipped cream in front of me.
"Try this and let me know what you think. It's a new recipe." The maid said.
I took a bite of the pancake. Mmm. "So good. Is that cinnamon?" I asked.
"Yes. They are vanilla cinnamon buttermilk pancakes." The maid smiled obviously happy that I loved her new recipe.
"These are the best pancakes I have ever had." I exclaimed.
"Thank you." The maid said.
"Did I hear you say those were the best pancakes you have had?" Grandma asked.
"Yes. It's a new recipe. I think you will like it too." I said.
Grandma sat in a chair close to me as the maid brought her a cup of coffee. She also refilled mine. I offered her my thanks before she slipped out of the room to get Grandma a plate of the vanilla cinnamon buttermilk pancakes.
"So what is on the agenda today Grandma?" I asked in between bites.
"I figured we could stay around here and give you a tour of the vineyard and see how the wine is made." Grandma said as her plate of food was placed in front of her.
"That sounds wonderful, Grandma." I finished my breakfast and had another cup of coffee.
We made our way out to the back yard. We walked through the rows of grapes. Grandma and I even tasted one. We made it to a building that was a ways away from the main house. Grandma led me inside where there were people working.
We were shown the process. I learned that white wine can be made from white or red grapes. White wine is made by fermenting grapes without the skins. The grapes are pressed and the grape juice is fermented in vats. The wine is filtered before being bottled.
Grandma asked that a dozen bottles be packaged and brought up to the house. We made our way to an outside seating area where we sampled the wine and enjoyed a bread, meat, and cheese plate.
"Everything tastes amazing, Grandma. I can't believe you and Grandpa have an estate and vineyard and a business. This has been incredible." I wonder if my mom knows about this? I would assume not because she never mentioned it.
"I'm so glad you enjoy it, Rory. Your Grandfather and I want you to come and visit whenever you want and one day it will all be yours." Grandma pulled out a tiny box that was wrapped and handed it to me.
I opened the box to see a key on a key chain that was shaped like Italy.
"It's a copy of the house key. That way you can come visit whenever you want." Grandma gave me a smile.
"Thank you Grandma. This is perfect." I gave her a hug.
We made our way back to the house when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Finn.
"Hey is everything ok?" I answered the phone.
"Are you busy?" Finn asked.
"Not really. Grandma just showed me the vineyard and how wine was made. We are heading up to the house." I said.
"May I speak to Emily for a few, love?"
"Uh sure." I handed the phone to Grandma. "Finn would like to talk to you."
Grandma and Finn talked for a few moments. She was excited about whatever Finn was saying. She handed me back the phone with a huge grin on her face.
"Hey." I said to Finn.
"Get ready. We are picking you up in ten minutes. Make sure you wear a bathing suit and bring a change of clothes. We are going to a water park!" Finn said before hanging up.
"Grandma are you sure you don't mind me going out with them?" I asked.
"Absolutely. Go and have fun with your friends." Grandma grinned.
I changed into a bathing suit and threw a cover up on over it. I made sure I had a change of clothes, towel, and sunscreen. I grabbed my wallet and made my way downstairs where Finn was talking with Grandma.
"Sorry. I tried to hurry." I apologized.
"I just got here a minute ago." Finn said.
We said our goodbyes and I made my way outside with Finn. Colin and Logan were in the car as well. I slid in and said hi. Finn got in behind me and we were on our way to the water park.
"Oh I just thought of something. How are we going to keep our money dry while we are in the water." I asked.
"They have lockers we can rent or what we use are these water proof containers and we put money and IDs in them." Logan explained as he showed me his.
"Oh that's cool. Where can I get one?" I asked.
"They sell them everywhere but you can put your ID in with mine." Finn offered.
"Thanks." I tried to hand him my ID and cash but he would only take my ID. "Finn just take some of my cash." I insisted.
"Nope. I have enough cash for the both of us. Please just let me do this for you." Finn pleaded.
"Fine but I get to treat you in the future." I said.
"You can treat me any time you want." Finn gently kissed my lips gently but I caught the double entendre.
"Have you ever been to a water park Gilmore?" Colin asked.
"No but I am really excited." I was more excited than a kid on Christmas morning.
"Well there are a ton of slides, a wave pool, a beach area, a lazy river, and of course the kids area. There are restaurants all over the place so if you get hungry we can grab a bite to eat." Colin informed me.
"That sounds fun. Where do we put our towels and clothes?" Would we put them in the lockers?
"We usually put them near the wave pool. It is in the center of the park and there are attendants that watch the area. We usually pick a level that's higher up because we leave our stuff all day and will only go there when it is time to leave." Logan said.
"That's fine with me. You guys know how much I love being in water." I wanted to swim and slide until I was too tired to move.
Logan pulled out a bottle of champagne and poured us each a glass. We drank the whole bottle before arriving at the park.
I made sure I had my bag and everything I would need. Finn, being the gentleman he is, paid for my ticket. We made our way towards the wave pool as they pointed out the best pizza place, the ice cream shop, the gift store, and where to get floats for the lazy river.
We made our way up to a top row and threw our towels on a lounger. I sat down a grabbed my sunscreen. Finn applied it to my back as I applied it to my front.
"Thanks." I said when he was finished. "Do you need sunscreen?" I asked him.
"I am already tanned love. I don't use it anymore." Finn said.
We followed Logan and Colin towards the first slides. There were four slides so the line moved rather quickly. This slide was fast. It twisted and turned and before long I was plunging into the pool at the end of the slides. I swam to the edge where there were steps to get out of the pool and waited for the guys.
They made a giant splash as they hit the pool. It didn't take long before they reached me.
"That was awesome!" Logan exclaimed.
We made our way to the next slide which were side by side racers.
"One hundred dollars I win." Logan challenged Colin.
"Deal." Colin said while shaking Logan's hand.
I looked at Finn.
"What is your bet?" I asked.
"What ever do you mean love?" Finn asked innocently.
"I know you enjoy a good bet so what will it be?"
"You want to do the same as Logan and Coin? One hundred dollars?" Finn asked.
"Nope. Neither of us really needs the money and if I know you as well as I think I do then you won't take my money anyways." I want to take advantage of this opportunity.
"So what do you propose then?" Finn questioned.
"A sensual massage. For at least thirty minutes." I stated.
"Sounds great to me love. If I win I get your hands all over my body and if you win then I get my hands all over your body. So it sounds like a win win." Finn looked excited.
"So do we have a deal?" I asked.
"Definitely." Finn shook my hand.
We talked about the different attractions at the water park while we waited in line. Logan and Colin went first. I watched as Logan sat down and got comfortable. Colin laid all the way back and crossed his arms against his chest. The attendant lowered the gate and the guys were racing towards the finish line. Logan's body eventually mimicked Colin's but it was already too late.
I saw Colin cross the line a good two seconds before Logan as Finn and I got into position. Finn laid back and mimicked Colin's position so I followed.
"I look forward to winning." Finn said.
"No way. I'm going to win." I challenged.
The attendant lowered the gate and a huge gush of water propelled me down the slide. I tightened my arms across my chest and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes to see myself crossing the finish line before Finn. I got up and made my way over to Logan and Colin who were in the middle of a conversation.
"...I was more aerodynamic. I made my body flat that way I could slice through the water." Colin said.
"Nice job Rory." Logan complimented.
Finn wrapped his arms around me from behind and whispered in my ear. "I can't wait to massage your perfect body."
I blushed as I felt his cock harden.
The next slide required floats. Finn grabbed a two person float for us as Logan and Colin grabbed a single person float each. The line moved slowly. The sun was beating down on us.
"After this can we get a bite to eat and then try the wave pool and the lazy river?" I asked the guys.
"Sounds good to me Gilmore." Colin said.
We finally made our way up to the top of the stairs. There was only one slide so we each took our turns. The guys were nice and let Finn and I go first. I sat in the front while Finn sat in the back. Finn pushed off and we soared through the tunnels of the slide. Finn rocked the float side to side causing me to laugh. We hit the pool at the end of the slide and the attendant took the float and threw it in the pile with the others.
Colin and eventually Logan came down the slide and made their way over to Finn and I.
We made our way to the pizza place. They had personal sized pizzas. I got the meat lover's, Finn got the supreme, Colin got the veggie, and Logan got the taco. We grabbed some bottles of water, paid for our food and found a table outside in the shade.
Finn fed me a bite of his pizza and I fed him a bite of mine. Mine was better. We laughed and joked around as we ate and relaxed. It seemed like more and more people were ready for lunch so we threw away our trash so a family could have our table.
We made our way to the wave pool. There was a countdown clock that said thirty eight seconds. We walked towards the deep end stopping when the water was waist deep.
The countdown went to zero and the waves started. They got bigger and soon the waves were hitting neck high. The countdown was five minutes. We stayed for a few minutes but there were so many people here that we were cramped for space.
We made our way to the lazy river. The lifeguard informed us that we didn't have to have a float but we could if we wanted to. I opted not to for the beginning. Since it was essentially a giant circle I figured I could pick up a float after a few laps.
Logan and Colin got on a float while Finn and I decided to swim a few laps. We promised Logan and Colin that when we got floats we would wait for them so we could relax as a group.
I dived below the water and swam with the current. I came up for air just as Finn reached out and grabbed my waist. It surprised me and I let out a little yelp. We took turns chasing each other under the water. When we needed air we would come up and let the current take us while we talked for a few moments.
It was these moments that I loved the most. Finn would hold me by the waist and playfully kiss me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and wrapped my arms around his neck. I deepened the kiss letting my tongue explore his. No one else existed just us. I ground my core against him and groaned.
Things were heating up fast so I reluctantly pulled away and dunked myself under the water to cool down. We made it to the floats so we grabbed one and waited for Logan and Colin to catch up. When they were in front of us we got on our floats and laid back to relax and enjoy the warmth of the sun. I put my feet in Finn's float so I wouldn't drift away from them.
I closed my eyes and relaxed as I listened to Finn, Logan, and Colin talk about their big event. The event was planned for early October and was in the middle of no where. Logan said he was trying to find someone who had thirty white canvas tents but had no luck so far. The caterers were scheduled and Colin was in charge of coming up with a game for the night.
After several laps we got out and decided to go dry off and get changed. We grabbed our bags and went to the locker rooms. I quickly got dried off and changed and brushed my hair. The guys were outside waiting on me.
We made our way to the car. I sat next to Finn as he held my hand.
"Thanks for bringing me here today." I said. "All of you. I had so much fun."
"We did too." Finn assured me.
"Stick with us and you will always have a blast." Logan said.
Finn handed me my IDs and I put them in my wallet. The car pulled up outside of Grandma's house. Finn walked me to the door. I gave him a hug and a kiss before heading inside.
I went straight to my room to take a shower. The hot water felt great against my sun kissed skin. I made sure I washed the chlorine out of my hair before drying off and getting ready for dinner with Grandma.
Grandma was already downstairs pouring a drink when I walked into the living room.
"Oh hey Rory. How was your day?" Grandma asked.
"It was great. I had so much fun." I replied.
Grandma poured me a glass of wine. We made our way into the dining room and the maid brought out our salads. We talked about the water park and how much fun I had.
"They are great guys, Grandma. I really enjoy hanging out with them and I appreciate everything you have done for me. This has been the best summer of my life." I couldn't wait to experience more days with the guys and see what else Grandma has planned.
"That is wonderful, Rory. I am sure the guys will become friends for life. They go to society events all the time and can introduce you to girls your age." Grandma smiled as she said this.
"That sounds great. It would be nice to have a girl my age to hang out with at events too."
Our entrees were placed in front of us. Roasted duck and asparagus.
"This smells amazing." I said before digging in. The skin was crispy and flavorful, the meat was tender and moist, and the asparagus was sauteed to perfection.
"I always find that the food here is better than at home. Could be because we are on vacation and I am more relaxed." Grandma said.
"It is very relaxing here maybe that is it." I finished my food just as Grandma was.
Our plates were taken away and a large piece of tiramisu was placed in front of us.
"Oh I meant to tell you that I am spending the day after tomorrow with your Grandfather. I am sure there is a lot you can do but if you want to join us you can."
"I am sure the guys will think of something. If all else fails, there are a lot of museums and catacombs I can see." Although, laying in bed with Finn all day sounded amazing.
"Then I guess that is settled." Grandma replied.
We finished our desserts and headed to our rooms. I changed into my pajamas before crawling into bed. I felt sore and tired so I decided to text Finn goodnight.
Rory: I am really exhausted so I am going to sleep. I had a great time today. Thanks for everything.
I plugged in my phone charger and turned off the light. Finn responded a moment later.
Finn: It was my pleasure love. I enjoyed it too. We have a fun day planned tomorrow so get some rest.
Rory: I am looking forward to it. Goodnight Finn.
Finn: Goodnight love.
I set my alarm and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
