"Sherbet? Seriously that is the only kind of ice cream you have in that fancy fridge. Well, add chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream to the list." Rory asked incredulously from her spot on the kitchen counter. They had moved to Finn's suite earlier that day. He was still going to have to get a little work done, although he had rescheduled the majority of his work until after Rory left. He figured the insane workload would help him not miss her. Truthfully, he already knew his rooms would be lonely without her; she had already left her mark everywhere. Taking a bit of her pop tart she asked, "So you're all grown-up businessman. How did you end up in Texas?"

Refilling her cup and turning back to the eggs he was cooking he just shrugged, "I was always supposed to join my father's business but all I cared about hotels was which ones had the best room service. Places that weren't your cookie-cutter chain hotel. How no matter what Hilton you go to they all look the same. Who wants that? Okay like your mother's Inn for example. It is an original there is no other. I had the idea to bring original hotels under the Morgan banner while keeping them as they are. Like this one for instance did you the Driskoll is supposed to be haunted?"

"NO! Really have you seen anything weird?" Rory asked so excitedly she was almost bouncing off the counter." Laughing "No but there is a spot in the hall on the third floor that always seems about 20 degrees colder than everywhere else. But my point is my father liked the idea, and so did the board. That's why I'm here this is the second hotel I have recommended for Morgan to acquire, papers were finalized last Friday."

"Wow, I had no idea. I'm proud of you. How does it feel knowing your father believes in you?"

"I think he always has. He really just wanted me to grow up and stop doing stupid crap and acting like a spoiled brat. My family isn't like the rest of the gangs. My parents have been very involved in my life I wasn't raised with nannies my mother raised us. I didn't go to boarding school until 10th grade."

"Why did I think you were like Logan and Colin?" Rory asks somewhat confused.

"Probably, because I have gotten out of the habit of talking about my family, I didn't want to rub it in the guy's noses that I'm actually a son first then the heir."

"Well I'm glad you told me." she said hopping off the counter, "Before I forget will you read my article before I send it in you're kind of in it, and if there is anything you don't want to be included I can change it before submitting?"

"What do I have to do with the campaign?"

"This is for my online blog Letters from the Road. It's different from the Gazette articles about the campaign this is about the people I meet and what I see and experience on the road. It's written like a letter to a friend would be very casual impressions, and experiences. People seem to love it I have so many followers now it's crazy. I usually post pictures and sometimes short videos. That's why Dave and Joey were taking pictures all night. But we haven't talked about what you want to tell people or when. I don't want to overstep. But I can't completely leave you out of it in almost every picture. I can easily describe you as my college friend and leave it at that, but you should look at the pictures some are very obvious it's not just friendship. I don't know if you need to talk to Logan and give him a heads up. I mean what do we do here?"

"When do you have to submit this love?" Finn asks scratching his head.

"By midnight tomorrow." the brunette answers apprehensively.

"You better get started then. I have a phone call to make it might take time to reach him, and I'll look at the pictures after my call. I'll probably want copies of most of them anyway. Don't worry he can't stay mad forever." Finn said hopefully.

"Finn I don't want to cost you your best friend. He's gonna be pissed " Rory said sadly.

"Yeah, but he let you go and he's marrying someone else, he has no right to you anymore. I'll give him the heads-up. Besides, we haven't been that close since Bobbi anyway. She hates me." Finn kisses the top of her head as he heads down the hall to his office. "Finn my man you haven't answered your phone in days. What's up?"

"You got time to talk?" Finn asks running his hand through his hair. "Always" Logan answers cheerfully. "I'm just doing to go for the straightforward approach. I'm seeing someone, exclusively. It just happened and it's still new but yeah. She's the girl." Finn says in a rush.

"I'm sorry we must have a bad connection it sounded like you said you were seeing someone, exclusively. And seriously." Logan joked

"I did. But that's not the hard part." Finn pauses like ripping off a band-aid he thinks, "I'm seeing Rory." Finn can hear Logan cracking up he's laughing so hard he can't say anything for a couple of minutes. "That's a good one Finn, you're seeing Ace!"

"Really, Finn who are you dating?" Logan asks finally able to talk. "Finn!" Rory yells from the living room. "Hold on a minute Logan." Finn opens the office door to see Rory standing in the living room using her laptop to cover her legs staring at the front door. "He just walked in." She said apologetically. To Finn it's such a cute sight of her wearing only his button-down trying to cover herself with her laptop, hiding from his dad. Finn's trying to think if she even has underwear on somehow the way she's pulling the shirt down he thinks not.

Pointing with the phone in his hand "Right um, Da this is Rory. Rory this is my father. Why don't you come to the office Da." Finn says never taking his eyes off Rory 'I'm sorry he mouths as his dad passes him. And Rory darts for the bedroom. "Nice to meet you, Rory. Nice shirt." Finn Sr. says smiling and friendly.

"Were you on the phone, son?" His dad asks quietly. "Oh, Shit! Hey Logan, sorry about that." Logan interrupts hotly, "You're serious! You're dating Ace! Ace is there with you right now! MY ACE! I thought you were my friend! I heard you introduce her to your dad! What the hell Finn?"

"She's not YOUR ACE anymore. Why do you care about it your getting married, you cheated on her all the time. I didn't go after her she came to Austin and we ran into each other, and we went out and talked... We've been talking nonstop for days."

"You're willing to throw our friendship away for a piece of ass. Anyone else Finn, Christ Why HER?!"

"She's not a piece of ass. She's special or else I never would have started dating her. I just wanted you to hear it from me first. So maybe one day you'd be okay with it. Because as long as she wants she has a place with me. " Finn said pacing the floor.

"I don't know what to say to you right now Finn. I really don't. I need time with this." Logan said hanging up.

"Well, I guess I know why you pushed everything back now. Is this the girl from college you told your mother about? Logan's girl?" Mr. Morgan asked Finn surprising him that Sara would have talked to Finn SR about it. "She's my girl now." Finn answered smugly, chuckling "Of course, she's probably mortified I'll never get her to come out of the room now. That's normal I wouldn't mind but I want you to meet her when she's being her charming self not half dressed pouring over her laptop and writing an article. You guys should check it out I'll email you a link. I'm gonna check on her."

"Finn, dinner tonight bring her, and then she can charm me."

"Thanks, Da"

"UGH! Where is Dave when I need him." Rory mutters digging thru the first one and then a second bag. Pulling something deep red out of it she starts to peel off Finn's shirt and pull the dress over her head. "Hey, Finn will you find my black strappy heels they're Manolo's so they should be in a shoe bag." She asks sticking her head out the bathroom door. "I just need two more minutes."

"Love calm down, my father is a puppy. He'll love you. Besides, he called and is running late. Wow." Finn said stopping in the doorway holding her shoes as he takes in the sight of her. Her dress was a deep shade of red and was just a couple of inches above the knee, high neck without sleeves, and when she turned the back plunged to the small of her back leaving all the skin exposed.

"Or we could blow him off," Finn states breathlessly and he leans to kiss the back of her neck. Trailing his finger down her spine he turns her to kiss her. Just as he was starting to expect one taste was never enough. Rory practically purrs as the kiss deepens. Finn lifts her to the counter sliding the strap off her shoulder as he kisses her collar. Soon they are both breathless and lost in each other.

Finn Sr could not remember when he had seen his son so relaxed and happy. His report for Sara will be so positive. Sara will love hearing this. She will love this girl. She is so sweet yet can go toe to toe with little Finn. Rory was telling them about the trial run of the Inn her mother owned and how a crazy French man works there and brought his dogs to work, and they chewed the shoes of a man who thought they had shoe shine service and had placed them outside his door. Then another story about when in college Finn and Colin helped her move and Finn tried to take some of her grandfather's things and he flipped out. Finn Sr was laughing so hard he had tears running down his cheeks!

Jr was right she was charming and by the end of dinner, Finn Sr adored her. He liked the way she was looking at his son. How they were constantly touching in some way. He didn't want Finn with someone interested in him for social standing or money. He wanted Finn to find the love he had found with' Sara. Taking Rory's hand as he was getting into his cab to head home "You must come to meet My Sara sometime. Promise me you'll make Finn bring you. Your readers would love you in Australia. Don't forget to send your mother pictures!" Then he waved and was gone.

"He's so nice, not once did he insinuate that I'm not good enough for you," Rory said surprised as they were walking back into the hotel. Finn grabbed her hand and dragged her into the manager's office closing the door behind them.

"Okay Love, I thought you were smart enough this wouldn't be an issue but I guess not. Let's get some things straight you are better than anyone I've ever met. I'm lucky you're here with me I never thought you would be. You're funny, brilliant, talented, and beautiful. And for my family, the only requirement is for me to pick you. We're not THEM. My father was going to like you simply because I chose you, but he left here adoring you because of the beautifully charming woman you are. And he will go home and tell my mother that he met the woman I talked to her about two years ago and that she was wonderful. My mother will love your independence and talent when she meets you. Now, no more nonsense about not being good enough." Silently taking Finn's hand Rory nodded and followed him upstairs.
