I wake up when Finn pulls the cover over our heads.
"Morning love." Finn says energetically.
"Good morning." I reply before he kisses me.
I try to deepen the kiss but he pulls away.
"I really hate having to rush you but the others are already up and eating and we need to get going. We have an entire day planned." Finn comes close so I try to kiss him. He gives me a quick kiss before pulling me up off the bed.
I make my way to the secret passageway in between our rooms and a question pops into my head.
"Hey Finn?" I ask hesitantly.
"Yes kitten?" Finn walks over to me.
"Didn't you say you and your sister had these put into each of your family's hotels?" I ask shyly.
"Yeah why?" Finn asks confused.
"I thought you were an only child." I say remembering our time in London when I learned about all of their families.
"I am by birth. My sister is actually my cousin. My Aunt and Uncle passed away in an accident when I was younger and my parents took their daughter in. She was much older than me, fourteen whereas I was only six. It was easier to say she was my sister. I still call her sis to this day." Finn explains.
"Where is she? You don't mention her." I ask.
"She is married with children of her own. She lives in Australia near my Grandma." Finn offers me a smile before adding, "Now off you go. Get ready. Wear something casual. I'll meet you in the living room."
"Aye Aye." I mock salute before heading into my room.
I leave my hair down and throw on a light pink V-neck shirt and a flowy white skirt with flowers all over it. I slip on my gold sandals and grab my wallet and phone.
I let my growling stomach lead the way to the food. I grab a plate of pancakes and bacon and a cup of coffee and sit down next to Finn. Logan and Colin are deep in a hushed conversation. Finn and I eat in silence.
"You ready to hit the road?" Logan asks after we finish eating.
"Yeah just give me a minute." I reply before heading to Grandma's room.
"Are you heading out?" Grandma asks.
"Yeah. I was just making sure you were okay." I say.
"I am great. I am going to head to the spa to get my hair done and then I will grab lunch and head to the San Carlo theater. Make sure you grab dinner on your way back in. It is a long drive." Grandma tries to hand me more cash.
"Grandma I have plenty. Plus knowing Finn he will pay." I don't want to rely on Finn paying but I have cash if need be.
"Please just take it. It will make me feel better knowing you can take care of yourself if the need arises." Grandma's tone is non-negotiable so I say the only thing I can say in this situation.
"Okay. Thank you." I give her a hug before heading back to the guys.
"All set?" Colin asks.
"Yep. Let's do this." I follow the guys into the elevator and downstairs into the waiting limo.
"A limo? Really?" I ask, shocked at the luxurious ride.
"Gotta travel in style. Plus we can relax, drink, do whatever we want and have plenty of room to stretch out." Logan explains.
"That sounds great." I say as I slide in next to Finn.
Colin pops a bottle of champagne and pours us all a glass.
"To our friendship." Colin says while raising his glass.
"To our adventure." Logan says mimicking Colin.
"To our love." Finn looks at me before raising his glass.
"To our future." I say to Finn before looking at Colin and Logan. "All of our futures."
We drink our drinks as Logan turns up the volume on the music.
"You do realize it isn't even ten in the morning." I say loudly over the music.
"And?" Logan challenges.
"And we are drinking and partying like it's Y2K." I say before finishing my drink.
"We are only young once. Gotta live it up while we can." Logan explains while refilling our glasses.
So for the next hour and a half we drink and hang out the windows looking at the sights. The driver drives us the scenic route around and a little ways up Mount Vesuvius. I take several pictures of the sights. Logan takes several pictures of us drinking and even Finn kissing me.
The car stops and the driver rolls down the divider. He informs us that there are three ticket gates into Pompeii and we are at the Porta Marina so when it is time to leave make sure we come out the same way.
I thank him before sliding out and looking around at all the tourists.
Finn laces his hand in mine and leads me to the ticket counter. He refuses to let me pay as expected. We wait for Logan and Colin to buy their tickets and make their way over to us.
We follow the crowd around the ruins of Pompeii stopping occasionally to read a plaque. Well Colin and I stop to read. Logan and Finn are more interested in people watching and having their own animated conversation to stop and read.
I stare at Finn and Logan laughing and pointing off to the side and dread washes over me. Maybe I am too into school and learning for Finn. I'll be too boring once school starts and he will get tired of me.
"Don't even let those thoughts cross your mind." Colin says as if he can read my mind.
"What are you talking about?" I feign innocence.
"It doesn't matter if you like learning or reading. Finn loves you for you. Nothing is going to change that. I mean look at me. I am similar to you and they put up with me." Colin looks towards Finn.
"But you are their friend. They have known you a lot longer than Finn has known me." I argue.
"That might be true but I'm not intimate with either of them." Colin laughs and I join in. "If anything I am happy to have someone in our circle that likes the things I do. Just wait and see things will work themselves out. Now cheer up. We have more plaques to read and facts to learn." Colin smiles before walking to another plaque.
"Woah. Gilmore did you know that the wind is the culprit of all this destruction?" Colin calls over his shoulder to me.
"What?" I ask. How could the wind be the culprit?
"Yeah. It says the wind normally would be blowing from the southwest, instead it was blowing in a northwest direction." Colin explains.
"Wow that is horrible." It is hard to believe all of this was caused by the wind shifting course.
We make our way around the corner and see a partially hidden wall. The rock is smoothed in the middle showcasing words and messages written in red paint.
"This 'graffiti' is dated from pre-eruption. These messages are private messages, election notices, and public announcements. It helps give visitors and historians an insight into Roman society." I read from the plaque.
"This is so awesome." Colin chimes in.
"I never imagined I would get to see so much history this summer. I knew I would get to see museums and what not but I never dreamed my summer would be like this." This was definitely the best summer of my life.
"I thought my summer was going to be just like the others." Colin says quietly.
"Lots of drinking and partying?" I tease.
"Yeah and it's been pretty mild." Colin replies.
"Which is what I am afraid of. Am I making the summer dull?" I am afraid I already know the answer.
"Of course not! We have all been enjoying the summer. We just haven't been partying as much as we are used to." Colin answers.
I am about to speak when Finn wraps his arms around me and says, "You want more partying? Are we not as cool as we used to be?"
Colin responds by rolling his eyes and saying, "I actually like the turn this summer has taken and look I am even learning cool facts."
"Oh me too mate. I love how my summer has turned out." Finn kisses my neck before spinning me around. He gives me a peck on the lips and spins me back around.
"They are about to have a concert in the amphitheater we came to get you two nerds." Logan teases.
"Shall we?" Colin asks. He offers me his arm and I loop mine into his and give Finn a wink.
Finn and Logan loop arms and follow us.
"So did you know that the gladiator contests were banned for ten years because a deadly brawl broke out?" I ask Colin.
"Really? When?" Colin seems intrigued by my random fact.
"Around Fifty-nine AD." I turn and stick my tongue out at Logan when I hear him murmur 'dork' to Finn.
We laugh as we make our way to the amphitheater. I am surprised at how packed it is. I follow Colin to the top row away from most people.
Finn grabs my hand and pulls me into his chest. "I love that you are a nerd. It is extremely sexy. Now I just need you to model a sexy nerd outfit for me."
"Finn! Not around the children." I tease even though there aren't any children nearby.
Finn, Logan, and Colin all laugh as my face reddens. I take my seat next to Finn as we wait for the concert to start.
"Did you know Pink Floyd made a concert film in 1971 here?" Colin asked.
"No! I bet Lane would love to see that!" I exclaim.
Conversation comes to a close as a European rock band starts to play. We listen to them play and sing in several different languages. They play for almost an hour before thanking us for coming and then they pack up their equipment.
We wait for most of the crowd to disperse before we try to make our way back to the Porta Marina exit.
"I think it is back the other way." I say to the group.
"No love it can't be. We just came from that way." Finn turns around to look down a different path.
"Colin, man, are you just going to stand there and not help us?" Logan asks. I can't tell if he is mad or just playing.
"I don't know. I mean I am just a nerd." Colin teases.
"Oh come on. You know we are just playing." Logan defends.
"Admit it. You need me. You couldn't last one day without my sense of direction." Colin challenges.
Finn pulls me back until my back is against his chest and whispers in my ear. "Don't worry kitten they do this all the time. I usually use this time to get a snack or a drink."
I look around and don't see any snacks or drink stands. "Now what?"
"I shall sacrifice you as the peacemaker. I do wish there was another way. Oh! My heart breaks for your sacrifice." Finn dramatically clutches his chest.
"No! Finn I can't be a sacrifice. I'm too young. Too smart. Too pretty." I play along.
"Oh but your smarts and prettiness will help in the negotiations. I will miss you dearly but it must be done, my love." Finn lowers his head to wipe a fake tear away.
"Alas, I must bid you adieu." I say solemnly.
I slowly inch my way over to Colin and Logan. Finn holds my hand until I am just outside of his grasp. When we can no longer touch each other I turn away from Finn to face Colin and Logan.
Colin is smiling from ear to ear and Logan has a confused look on his face.
"It's so nice to finally see someone keeping up with Finn." Colin says.
Finn sneaks up behind me and wraps me into a hug. I let out a tiny yelp. "No way I'd give you up that easily, love."
"I knew it was all an act." I give him a quick kiss before turning my attention back to the others. "So Colin, which way is the correct exit? I am starving." My stomach growls and Finn chuckles behind me.
"For you, I'll lead us the correct way." Colin says before heading off into the direction that neither Finn or I guessed.
"Thanks." I say following Colin.
It only takes a few minutes for us to make it back to the correct exit. The limo is waiting for us. We slide in and Logan instructs the driver to bring us to the nearest pizza place.
It only takes five minutes until the driver is parking in front of a small pizzeria. Finn and I stay in the limo while Colin and Logan go order the pizza.
Finn pulls me over to him until I am straddling him.
"Finn I am wearing a skirt." I warn.
"Easy access. I love it." Finn pulls me into a heated kiss.
"They will be back soon." I counter.
"It's going to take them at least twenty minutes. Plus we only have a few more nights together. I want to take advantage of every moment. Now let me kiss you." Finn doesn't wait for a response. His lips crash into mine.
Our tongues duel and my hips involuntarily grind against his groin. I moan at the friction.
Finn grips my ass and pulls me closer, grinding my core over his bulge.
I reach down and unzip his pants pulling his erection out before my brain decides to work and my courage goes away. I stroke him a few times but he is more impatient. He yanks my panties to the side before inching his cock into my entrance.
I could blame hormones or it could just be the fact that our time is ending but we didn't waste any time. It was hard and fast and just what we both needed. It wasn't until we were both climaxing that I realized Finn wasn't wearing a condom.
"Shit Rory. I didn't use-" Finn starts to say.
"I know. It's okay. I am on birth control. Nothing to worry about." I slide my panties back into place and give Finn a kiss.
"I'll be more aware next time, love." Finn apologizes.
"I wanted it. It was perfect just the way it was." I sit down next to Finn and leaned my head against his shoulder.
Finn opens the windows and the sun roof and turns the air conditioning fan on full blast. At my questioning look he explains. "Airing it out so they don't know what we were doing."
"Good idea." I feel my face start blushing.
"Although with you blushing they will surely know." Finn closes the windows and turns the fan back to normal speed.
I change the subject as Logan and Colin slide back into the limo. "So what else is on the agenda for tonight?" The smell of the pizza makes my stomach growl loudly.
Colin hands out plates and we dig in.
"Scenic route along the Gulf of Naples back to the hotel and then whatever you two love birds want to do." Logan says.
"What about you two?" I ask.
"We have plans with some ladies." Logan says smugly.
"And I have plans with this sexy lady." Finn kisses me on my cheek.
"Oh yeah? What plans would those be?" I flirt with Finn.
"It's a surprise love." Finn takes a bite of his pizza. "You should eat up because we are going to be burning lots of calories." He gives me a wink before turning back to his pizza.
We eat, drink, and watch the waves pass by. In the short amount of time it takes to get back to the hotel we have a slight buzz working from all the champagne.
We say our good nights to Colin and Logan and head up to our rooms. I lock my door behind Finn.
"Let's take a shower." Finn suggests.
Finn turns on my shower and sets the temperature. When it is warm he gently removes my clothes followed by his own. He takes his time washing my hair then my body. I return the favor and wash him.
After we are clean Finn pulls me to him. I rest my head on his chest and wrap my arms around him. He wraps his arms around me pulling me closer.
"I'm going to miss this." I whisper, not sure if Finn can hear me. Even though we aren't having sex this feels more intimate than anything.
"Me too love but we can always meet up on the weekends if we get lonely. I'll hijack my family's plane or Huntzbergers and get to you as soon as I can. I have Fridays off so I can be with you for three days." Finn leans down to kiss my cheek.
"That sounds great. I also have Fridays off and eventually Mondays as well." Maybe this semester will be different and I will get to relax some and not stress out too much.
Nah. Who am I kidding. I always stress and worry about school.
"Ready to get out?" Finn asks.
"Yep. I'm getting pruney." I grab my towel while Finn turns the water off.
Before I can dry myself off Finn swoops me into his arms and carries me into the bedroom. He takes his time kissing every inch of my body before making love to me.
How was I ever going to live without this?
