Chapter 13: No such thing as a pointless conversation
Rory woke up the next morning when the first signs of daylight entered Colin's room and warmed her cheek. She rubbed her eyes and carefully stood up from the couch so not to wake Finn. The TV was still on, so she turned it off and put the DVD away in its place. Then she blew out the few candles that still burned, since most were already burnt out. She then turned her attention back to the man on the couch. He let out a soft snore and she smiled. Kneeling down beside the couch she started to softly run her fingers through his dark hair while watching his relaxed features as he dreamed away. She kissed his forehead and stood up, she didn't think Finn would be waking up any time soon, so that would give her time to go to her dorm, change her clothes and get them some breakfast. But just to make sure she scribbled something on a piece of paper and rested it on the coffee table. She then grabbed her shoes and slowly and silently walked out of Colin's dorm room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Logan woke up with a headache on Sunday. And also a blonde next to him. He couldn't even remember her name he was so drunk the night before. He took in his surroundings, he was still in Colin's house, probably in one of the many guest bedrooms in that Hartford mansion. Careful not to wake the stranger he moved her away from his chest and laid her head on the pillow. He looked for his clothes but he only found his pants and shoes. He put them on and walked out of the bedroom, silently closing the door behind him. He went down the stairs trying to hear something that would indicate that someone was already up. The smell of strong coffee invited him into the kitchen. There he found Colin and Stephanie.
"Morning," he greeted not very cheerfully.
"Hey, sleep well?" Colin asked.
"Not really."
"Did you sleep at all?" Stephanie asked and giggled.
"I'm sorry, but my sense of humor has not woken up yet, save the jokes for later," Logan said dryly.
"Hangover?"
"That too," was Logan's answer and Colin understood. He gave Stephanie a look and she knew that was her cue to leave the kitchen so the two guys could talk.
"So..."
"I need coffee."
Colin poured some coffee in a cup and handed it to Logan after he sat down on one of the stools. He took a seat next to him, also with a cup of coffee in hands. "You wanna talk about it?"
"About what?"
"The situation."
"What situation?"
"You don't want to talk about it, that's fine."
Logan sighed and took a long sip of his coffee. He couldn't help but think of Rory and her odd relationship with this drink. He sighed again.
"Do you regret what you did?" Colin asked.
"That I broke up with her? Everyday."
"That you brought her and Finn together."
"It's just hard, that's all. I'll get used to it."
"Will you?"
"I hope so." Logan really hoped so, but deep down he knew that wasn't going to happen, at least not so soon. He thought about the two of them together, in Colin's dorm, alone, he closed his eyes, he didn't want to imagine what could have happened over the night. But his mind didn't obey him and produced an image of Finn and Rory kissing, Finn's hand caressing her face, Rory giving him one of her sweet smiles that made even the hardest of guys fall on his knees, Finn laying her down on Colin's couch... he quickly opened his eyes not wanting this movie to continue inside his head. He put the coffee cup on the counter and stood up. Colin just followed him with his eyes.
"I did a good thing, right?" Logan asked him after spending some time just walking around the kitchen silent.
"Yes, you did."
"I was a good friend?"
"You were a great friend."
"Then why do I feel like a loser?"
"Well, you did lose the girl..." Colin joked.
"Were you here when I said I did not have a sense of humor this morning?"
"Sorry..."
"I lost her for good, though, didn't I?"
"I don't know. How can you be so sure?"
"She's with Finn now."
"Now, yes. It may last, it may not. You may have lost her for good, you may not."
"Are you saying I should still have hope?"
"I'm saying that you should let her be with Finn now. I'm saying that right now, you should just be her friend. Let her find her happiness alone. If that happiness is with you or Finn only time will tell."
"I don't think I'll be able to see them together."
"You'll have to. He's part of your life and she's part of his. You're going to have to put up with it just like Finn had to put up with it when you and Rory were together. You never heard him complain."
"That's cause he didn't really like her then."
"You know that's not true. And you know that he never complained because he was your friend and he wanted to see you happy and if the girl he liked happened to make you happy then he just had to deal with it, and that's what he did, he dealt with it. You should too. You should give them the opportunity to be happy together, find out if that's what they want. If it's not and they happen to break up you should be there for them, the both of them and be their friend, just like they were yours."
"I don't know what happened to me. I don't know why I just can't think rationally anymore."
"You want to know what happened to you? Rory Gilmore."
Logan didn't have time to answer him since Stephanie entered the kitchen again, "I gave you guys time enough, I'm hungry! Colin, make me some eggs!" she ordered joking.
"Yes, ma'am!" Colin said, pretending to salute her.
"And Logan just please, put this on," she said throwing a shirt at him.
"Whose is it?" Logan said as he smelled it suspiciously.
"Don't worry, it's Colin's... and it's clean."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Finn woke up startled. He suddenly realized that the light weight resting on his chest was gone. He sat up on the couch so fast it made his head spin a bit. He closed his eyes waiting for the dizziness to stop and opened them again.
"Rory!" he called standing up. The bathroom and Colin's bedroom doors were open so he checked them: nothing. She was gone. He started to think that it had all been a dream, that he had fantasized the whole thing and that him and Rory hadn't worked things out. He sat down on the couch again a little disappointed, he could swear it had happened. The candles were still there, but they were all out. Really, there was no trace of Rory. At least so he thought until he spotted the little piece of paper resting under his cell phone on the coffee table.
Good morning, sleepyhead!
I went to my dorm to change into something more comfortable and then I'm getting us some breakfast. Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back!
Love, Rory.
He smiled. 'At least I know she was here, so it wasn't a dream,' he thought relieved. He put the note in his wallet, he wanted to keep it. He then went to the bathroom to wash the sleep off his face. That's when he heard the door to the dorm open and then close.
"Finn!" Rory called when she saw he wasn't sleeping anymore.
"Coming, darlin'" he shouted from the bathroom.
Rory settled the things she brought for breakfast on the coffee table: bagels, muffins, orange juice and lots of coffee. She sat down on the floor and waited for Finn to return.
"Behold the banquet!" he said as he walked into the room and saw the neatly arranged items.
Rory smiled. "Well, come then, I'm starving!"
He sat down next to her and tried to kiss her but she stopped him.
"Seriously I am starving and while the prospect of kissing you seems very promising, nothing gets in the way of my stomach and its instant need for food. But if you just hold on to that thought we might be able to continue in about half an hour," she said seriously taking a bite of her bagel. Finn just stared at her. "And that's just one of my many quirks," she said smiling.
"I can deal with that," he said also smiling and picking up a bagel, "let's get this over with then," he said taking a big bite of it making Rory laugh.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was about three pm when Logan walked into his dorm room. He looked beat, mostly from the hangover but the situation with Finn and Rory didn't help much either. He was actually afraid of walking in on both of them but that fear soon died when he called Finn's name and got no answer and when he walked into Finn's room and saw the bed untouched he sighed in relief. At least they weren't there. He didn't feel he was ready to be in the same room as them, as much as he thought he should. He helped them. He wasn't so sure why anymore. 'Oh, yeah, because Rory said she hated me,' he reminded to himself. He just hoped that after this "good deed" he would be able to get her trust back. As for Finn, things were already starting to go back into place with him, the only thing that would change would be Finn's countenance: from depressed to extremely happy. That's what Logan thought he couldn't take, their open display of joy. They would be happy and he would be miserable but he would have to pretend to be happy for them cause he was trying to be their friend. Oh, how he wished he could go back to grade school when things didn't seem so complicated! You liked a girl you called her names and pulled her braids. Funny, because when you're a kid you always want to grow up fast because you think being an adult is much better. People are never satisfied with their situation or with what they have in life. They always want different things, other things, more things. The saying "The grass is always greener on the other side" doesn't really come from nowhere. 'Being an adult sucks' Logan finally concluded.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I'm coming in!" Colin said as he opened the door to his dorm. He really did not want to witness anything that would make him have nightmares for over a week. The sight of Logan without his shirt on this morning already produced some serious disgusted shudders when he remembered it. What would happen if he were to walk in on, say, Finn's naked butt? But that did not happen, they weren't there when Colin arrived. All he found was a note attached to his TV screen:
Thanks for the party, mate!
And to prove how truly grateful we are we actually cleaned up your dorm! Well, not your dorm, just this room, cause we're not your bloody servants or anything. We didn't really know what to do with the candles so we just tossed them in a bag and put it inside your bedroom. Maybe you'll want to use them for another occasion...
Your friends,
Finn and Rory.
Colin chuckled. Finn really was a piece of work and how he managed to get himself a girl like Rory was beyond him. He actually never understood why Rory ever started to hang out with them. She was so different from all of them, specially Finn. Of all the guys he could have seen her with, Finn was definitely the last one on that list. 'I guess opposites do attract' he thought to himself.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Much to her discontentment Rory had to go back to her dorm to finish a paper for her first class on Monday and in order to be able to spend the day with her Rory made Finn promise he would be quiet until she was done. Rory was surprised when he took a book from her shelf, made himself comfortable in her bed and started reading it while she worked on her laptop. She was even more surprised when the book he picked out was a Jane Austen novel and he didn't fall asleep reading it. She thought she would tease him afterwards.
She was inspired, the words flowed with ease and she was halfway done when her cell phone rang making her lose her train of thought and since she had already lost her words she answered the phone, but she did it very grumpily.
"Hello."
"Stupid choruses freak me out."
Rory took the phone away from her ears and looked at it confused. Finn was watching her from the bed.
"I'm afraid of echoes."
"What?"
"Mom?"
"You're afraid of echoes?"
"Choruses freak you out?"
"Stupid choruses."
"Oh," Rory said and turning to Finn she rolled her eyes, he just smiled and focused on his book again.
"Mmmbop."
"I beg your pardon?"
"I mean, what the hell is that? It's not even a word, I looked it up on the dictionary and it does not exist."
"You had to look it up in a dictionary to be sure?"
"Not the point."
"Is there even a point?"
"Mmm mmm mmm? The guy keeps repeating that! Is that supposed to mean something? Are you supposed to fill in the blanks? What?"
"What?"
"Crash Test Dummies."
"I'm really not following."
"The band, with that song where the guy keeps mmming all the time."
"Have you been drinking?"
"And Lalalalalala, seriously, she has nothing better to say than that! I mean, I should be a song writer."
"Lalala?"
"Kylie Minogue."
"Why are you listening to Kylie Minogue?"
"I'm not."
"And Hanson?"
"It was on the radio!"
"Why were you listening to a radio station that plays Hanson and Kylie Minogue?"
"I was waiting for my daughter to call me and since she never did I had to torture myself so that she would pity me and see what I have to go through when she doesn't call her mother."
"Did it occur to you that maybe your daughter might be busy, I don't know, with school?"
"Or with a sexy Australian?"
"You think Finn's sexy?"
Finn looked up again when he heard his name, Rory was looking at him with a grin.
"He's right there, isn't he?"
"Yep."
"And you're grinning, aren't you?"
"Yep."
"You think he's sexy too!"
"So you do think Finn's sexy! You said too!"
"And so do you!"
"He's my boyfriend, I can! You're my mother, you can't!"
Finn had gotten back to his book, he knew Rory was talking to her mother and their conversations were never ordinary, but when he heard Rory say the word 'boyfriend' his eyes instantly looked up at her. 'She thinks I'm her boyfriend? I'm her boyfriend. I'm Rory Gilmore's boyfriend. Not too bad,' Finn thought to himself as he watched Rory's countenance change as her conversation went on.
"Did you just say 'boyfriend'?"
"What?" Rory hadn't realized.
"You called Finn your boyfriend."
Rory froze. She had called him boyfriend and he had heard. She looked at him, he was staring at her. He gave her a sweet smile that assured her that he didn't mind it at all. Of course he thought that the title came faster than he had thought, but that's what he had always wanted, so why mind it? 'Finn's my boyfriend. I'm Finn's girlfriend,' Rory thought and giggled.
"What are you giggling about?" Lorelai asked.
"Nothing, look, mom, I really am busy right now, and no, it's not with my sexy Australian boyfriend as you insist on calling him, I'm actually halfway through a paper that I need to turn in tomorrow morning, so if you could just put an end to yet another one of our pointless conversations I'd really appreciate it."
"Our conversations are never pointless, you cruel, cruel child. For instance, the point of this particular one was to make you admit two things: number one, that Finn's your boyfriend and number two: that he's sexy."
"Ok, hanging up now."
"Oh, come on!"
"Good bye, mother."
"Don't call me mother! That's how I call my mother."
Rory groaned. "Bye, mom."
"Much better. Talk to you during the week?"
"I guess. If I don't call you'll call anyway just to say gibberish, so yeah, I'll talk to you during the week."
"And to think I gave birth to this ungrateful being."
"Bye, mom," Rory said impatient to turn off the phone.
"Bye sweets!"
Rory flipped her phone closed and with her head back she let out an exasperated 'finally'.
"How's Lorelai?" Finn asked.
"Insane."
Finn chuckled. Rory was waiting for some comment on the whole boyfriend thing and so was Finn. They stared at each other for a while not really knowing what to say.
"I should really finish this," Rory finally said turning her back to him and facing her laptop. She didn't hear Finn stand up from the bed since she was trying hard to focus on her work and he was very quiet moving around in her bedroom. He startled her when he whispered in her ear,
"Being the boyfriend gives me the right to take care of you and I say you're working too hard now, doll. I say we take a little break from the studying and the reading and make a better use of our time."
"I'm not done yet, Finn."
"Ah, ah, ah, no contesting the caretaker. I say we take a break, we take a break! Who's the guy in this relationship?"
"Well, I'm going to say you are."
"Then you'd be correct."
"But that doesn't mean I should obey you. It's a proven fact that when it comes to relationships guys never have the last word."
"Really?" he asked arching his eyebrows.
"Really," Rory replied with a smirk.
In an unexpected move Finn kissed her. Rory had to lean on her desk so that she wouldn't fall down from her chair and as soon as she found her balance again she moved her hands to Finn's hair and then his back, but he quickly pulled away, not allowing her to enjoy the kiss too much. He was trying to make his point.
"You were saying..." he said with a grin.
Rory stood up from her seat like a wild cat in the jungle just waiting for the right moment to attack its prey, Finn had never seen her look so sexy.
"I was saying guys never have the last word," she said and pulled him towards her to kiss him.
He wasn't expecting this reaction either, but he kind of liked it. With his hands on her lower back he pulled her even closer and started walking towards the bed. They laid down, Rory on top of him. He stopped the kiss just to say, "well, love, I agree with you. Guys really should never have the last word. Women always have a much better argument." Rory just smiled and kissed him again.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hello," Logan said answering his cell phone.
"Hi, Logan," a girly voice answered.
"Who's this?"
"Heather!"
Logan thought for a moment. "I'm sorry, Heather who?"
"Heather, from last night," she said.
Oh, the blonde. That's not what he needed right now.
"Oh, of course, Heather from last night. Sorry, I'm a bit light headed today."
"I understand. Why did you run away this morning?"
"I didn't run away."
"Yes, you did."
"I just didn't want to wake you up."
"That's ok, I'm used to it."
"I'm serious, I didn't run away." Of course he was lying.
"Who's the girl?"
"What girl?"
"The one that made you drink till you couldn't stand on your own two feet and sleep with a girl you didn't even know the name."
"There's no girl."
"You're trying to get over her then."
"I just told you there's no girl."
"I can help you get over her."
Logan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"What?"
"I can help you."
"And how would you do that, my dear?"
"I think what we did last night could help, don't you?"
"Are you offering me sex?"
"Yes, I am," she answered directly.
Logan was even more surprised. It had been a while since he talked to a girl like this. He had gotten used to Rory and Rory would never say anything like this. "Well, Heather, can I get back to you on that?"
"I'll be waiting," she said and gave him her dorm room number and told him to 'pay him a visit tonight'. Logan could not believe it. A girl he hardly knew had just called and offered him sex!
He still had a surprised look on his face when Finn walked in. It was the first time Logan saw Finn after the make up. There was an awkward moment of silence until Finn finally decided to speak.
"How was the party?"
"Don't really remember. I was drunk during the whole of it."
"Oh."
"How was your party?"
Finn looked at Logan to make sure he really had just asked that question. Logan looked unconcerned but Finn couldn't see that inside his heart was shattered.
"No party, we just talked."
'He's lying, don't get mad, don't get mad...' Logan thought to himself. "Just talked?"
"Yeah, got everything cleared up."
"So, you're together now?"
Finn hesitated a bit. "Yeah."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks, and thank you for what you did, I know it was probably very hard for you."
'You have no idea,' Logan thought. "Don't mention it," he answered and then completed inside his head, 'Ever!'
"You really don't' remember the party?"
"I just remember things starting this morning when I woke up next to some blonde girl I'd never seen before."
Finn thought Logan had to be very drunk to sleep with another girl since he still cared about Rory a lot, he would never have done that sober.
"She just called. Heather," Logan continued.
"She did?"
"She offered me sex, no strings attached."
"She did!" Finn asked surprised.
"Yep."
"Did you take it?"
'Wouldn't he like to know so that he can run up to Rory and tell her I'm sleeping with somebody else,' Logan thought. "Haven't decided yet."
"Oh."
They were silent again.
"I'm bored. Wanna do something?" Logan asked.
"Sorry, mate. I just came by to take a shower and get some money. I told Rory I'd get us some pizza, she still has to finish an assignment for tomorrow and you know how she is, she just won't leave that room till she's done with it."
"Yeah, I know how she is..." Logan said almost to himself. "Go on then, have fun," he said and turned on the TV while Finn walked to the bathroom.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Dinner is served!" Finn yelled when he came into the dorm.
"Coming," Rory yelled back. She saved her work and closed her laptop. She hated that this paper was taking longer than expected but she had to finish it and Finn would just have to wait.
"So you done?" he asked taking a slice out of the pizza box and giving it to Rory after she had sat down on the floor of the common room.
"Not quite."
"Then I guess it'll give me time to finish my book. I really want to know what Anne will do now that she's read the captain's letter," Finn said getting a slice of his own.
"I still cannot believe you're reading Persuasion."
"It's the only Austen book I haven't read."
"You've read all her other books?" Rory asked a little surprised.
"You seem surprised."
"I am!"
"May I ask why?"
"Well, you just don't seem a Jane Austen kind of guy."
"Indeed! And kind of guy do you think I am? A Lawrence?"
"Actually I never thought you were really a book kind of guy."
"Well, now I'm offended!"
"I'm sorry, but I guess there's still a lot for to me to learn about you then."
"Are you up for the challenge?" he teased.
"Always."
He smiled and kissed her.
"You taste like tomato sauce," she said giggling.
"Is that a compliment or are you saying that my breath reeks?"
"Well, I happen to like tomato sauce very much."
"I'm glad," he said. He took the slice out of her hands and put it back on the box together with his own. He started leaning in to kiss her but she backed away.
"Finn, my hands are all greasy."
"Now you're just talking dirty," he joked. Rory's elbows were the only thing keeping her from lying down on the floor, Finn was getting closer and closer.
"I'm serious, Finn, I'll get grease all over your body and your hair and you'll hate me," she said now teasing him in a child-like tone.
"Oh, naughty! How can I hate you when you make me all warm and fuzzy inside," he said kissing her neck and her cheeks until she finally gave in and allowed him to kiss her lips. She tried not to touch him at first, but that was impossible, soon her greasy fingers were running through his just washed hair. Finn slowly laid her down on the floor and looked at her. She was so beautiful, he thought, and he was the luckiest guy in the world for having such a girl in his arms right now. He tightened his grip, he never wanted to let her go. Rory pulled his head to her with her right hand while her left hand found a way to get inside his sweater. His skin felt soft and warm and he shivered as her finger nails scratched his back. Without a thought in her head Rory tried to take his sweater off, Finn helped her. Rory had never seen Finn without his shirt on so she took a minute to appreciate the view. She ran her hands through his bare chest and then his arm. Finn hugged her even tighter and started to kiss her again and unbuttoned her shirt, showing off her white bra. He ran his hand from her chest to her belly button making her arch her back. He raised her to a sitting position, took off her shirt and started kissing her shoulders and her neck. Rory let out a soft moan and opened her eyes. She saw their reflection on the window. 'Whoa! What the hell's going on! This should not be happening, this cannot be happening. Must stop this now.' She reluctantly pushed him away.
"Ok, I'm thinking, and this is just a thought, but I'm thinking that this might be going a little too fast."
Finn looked disappointed. "Oh," he said.
"It's just that we started this yesterday and then today this, I don't know, seems fast to me."
"I agree," he said putting his shirt back on.
"Are you mad?"
Finn looked at her. Of course he wasn't mad. He traced her cheek with his fingers and placed a light kiss on her lips. "No, love, I'm not mad, don't worry. Now go on finish your paper while I clean this up. I'll be there in a minute to finish my book."
Rory was glad Finn understood, she buttoned her shirt and went into her bedroom to finish her paper. Keeping his promise Finn soon walked in, picked up the book from her desk, kissed the top of her head and laid down on the bed. Rory finished her paper about an hour later, it was almost 10 pm. She glanced at Finn, he had fallen asleep with the book in his hands. Rory smiled. She walked up to him, took the book away from his hands, took his shoes off and covered him with the sheets. She went into the bathroom to change into her pajamas and went to lock the door to the dorm. She was glad Paris was not going to sleep there tonight. She set her alarm clock to 8 am and then lied down on the bed making Finn wake.
"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you," she whispered.
"Did you finish your paper?" he whispered back.
"Yeah."
"Good," he said and moved closer to her putting his arms on her waist. "Night, love," he said and shut his eyes.
"Night," she replied and shut her eyes with a very pleased smile on her face, which remained there till the first hours of morning.
