AN: I did not forget about you guys, I swear! I've just been really busy- I went to London last week and didn't get any internet, so I am sorry and here is a extra long chapter to consolation. I have to say also, that the rest of the story is based on a quote I read, and I'll tell you the quote in the last chapter but it fits the story, so I figured, "Hey why not?"

Rory slowly started to open her eyes. She stirred to her back and slowly sat up. She immediately regretted it when her head started to pound like crazy. She slowly got up but something caught her eye on her side table by her bed. She picked up a piece of paper that was leaning against a glass of water she didn't remember putting there. She unfolded it and read it.

Rory,

You learn your lesson of not to take

funny colored alcohol from Finn?

I took you home last night, you got

pretty bad last night. Here's a glass

of water and some aspirin for that

hang over you are bound to be

getting in the morning. I hope you

feel better.

Colin

She looked over the piece of paper and saw both the glass of water and the aspirin. She smiled at the nice gesture before she remembered why she got so drunk last night. The whole fight with Dean came back to her. Her thoughts were interrupted by some knocks at the door. She placed the note down where she found it and walked out to the common room.

She opened the door and was greeted by Marty. "Hey," he told her. "I've got leftovers," he continued and held up a paper bag.

"Gah, not so loud Marty," she said backing up and waving her hands to show that he should come in.

"What's up Rory?" he asked a little concerned while sitting on the couch and diving into the food.

"Hung over," she said simply and took a seat next to him.

He looked at her and laughed, "Are you serious? I didn't think you ever drank."

Rory lightly pushed him and laughed a little before saying, "Shut up, I feel like crap right now."

"What made you drink?" he said smiling at her and handing her some fancy food.

She took a bite of the food before shrugging and saying, "Me and my boyfriend got into a fight last night and broke up and I didn't feel like coming back here and I was invited to a party so I went."

"Was it fun at least?" he asked happy all of a sudden.

"Yeah, it was, or at least the parts I really remember where," she said taking another bite.

"So what party was it? The one on the 3 floor?" he asked innocently.

Rory opened her mouth to answer him but she heard a knock at the door. "God, people need to learn how to knock quietly," she said getting up while rubbing her head.

She opened the door and heard someone whisper, "Hey, how's the hang over?"

"Why are you whispering?" she asked in a normal voice.

"Head doesn't hurt?" he asked in a more normal voice.

"Oh it does, but I can deal with normal voices. Don't even think about raising your voice though," she said warningly.

"Well I brought you some coffee," he said handing it to her.

"Thank you, come in," she said opening the door more. "Marty you know Colin right?"

"Uhh, yeah," he said kind of confused. "But I didn't realize you guys were friends, specially after you practically yelled at him yesterday," he said.

"We're not friends, he just took me home last night," she said taking her seat next to Marty and drank her coffee while Colin took the seat opposite them.

"Yeah, and I just wanted to check up on her. You know see if she was alive," he said joking.

"Right. Well I have to go," Marty said getting up.

Rory got up too, "What? Why Marty?"

"I got a lot of study to do," he said walking closer to the door.

"But aren't you going to enjoy the rest of the food?" she asked feeling bad realizing he hated Colin and his friends.

"Nah, you have it. Nice seeing you again Colin," he said walking out.

"Yup," Colin fit in before the door shut. Colin stood up after that and said, "Alright, come on let me take you to get some hang over food."

"No, Colin it's fine I got Marty's food here," she said waving her hands at them to prove her point.

"Put it in the frige, go get dressed and come get food with me," Colin said pleading her.

"Colin you don't have to do this," she said feeling bad for the second time in under 5 minutes.

"What's there to feel bad about? You're actually saving me from a hung over Finn, which I might want to add is not a fun Finn," Colin said smiling at her. "Now go get dressed, I'll wait out here," he said pushing lightly towards her room and took a seat on the couch.

Rory got quickly changed and walked out of her room, which was greeted with a sort of wolf whistle. "Absolutely stunning," Colin said smiling at her blushing.

"I remember you promising me some food," she said smiling and getting her coat.

"I believe I did," he said following her out the door.

"Are you kidding me?" Colin asked her after the waiter left.

Rory looked at him and asked, "What?"

"What you just ordered could feed a 3rd world country," Colin said amazed a girl could even attempt to eat that much.

"Oh boy, you need to stop hanging around girls who eat water," Rory said smiling.

"Oh, and what are you meaning behind that?" Colin said smiling himself now.

"Colin can you eat water?"

"No," he said confused.

"Exactly," she said laughing.

"So you feeling any better?" he asked while taking a sip of glass of water.

She nodded before he asked cautiously, "And about the boyfriend?"

She sat back and sighed. "I don't know. I told you about that didn't I?"

"Yes you did. I believe your words went along the lines of your first boyfriend who you lost your virginity to while he was married," he said laughing.

Rory laughed at this also, "My God I am a open drunk book."

"Open drunk book?"

"I'm hung over, shut up," she said laughing more. "Anything else I should be remembering."

"Well you did have your tongue down Finn's throat for a little while," Colin said getting a little tense remembering it but still smiling at her reaction.

Her mouth fell open and she looked at him. "You're joking right?" Colin shook his head getting an even bigger smile. "Why would I do that?"

Colin shrugged before Rory went, "Give me your cell phone."

"Why?" he asked confused.

"Hand it over mister," she said holding out her hand.

He went into his pocket and handed it to her. He watched her press some buttons before placing it by her ear.

"Morning sunshine," she said rather loudly into it. "What's that too loud? Aw you're hung over? Rory… Yes baby… No I think my voice level… So I hear we kissed… Alright made-out… What I'm wondering is why… Keep it in your pants Finn… Good bye baby," she said in a raised voice through out the whole thing but she partially screamed goodbye cause Colin to crack up.

"That, was just, way too funny," Colin said in between laughs.

"Serves the boy right," she said and pointed to the waiter who was bringing their food.

"Oh my God I can't believe you finished that entire plate," Colin was telling Rory laughing while he was walking her back to her dorm room.

"I keep telling you Colin, not every girl has had gastric bypass surgery and can eat more than a piece of lettuce," she said laughing also while they turned the corner to the hall of her room.

"Ouch Rory," he said placing his hand over his heart. They stopped in front of her door. She leaned against the doorframe to say her goodbye to him.

"So I had fun at lunch," he said smiling at her.

"I've had worst lunches in my life," she said smiling at him too.

Colin took a deep breath and asked, "What do you say we go out to dinner tonight?"

"By God you move fast," she said laughing a tiny bit.

"I like to cover my basics," he said nervous.

"Okay, well alright, I would like," she said smiling.

Colin smiled and started to walk back a little, "Alright, good. I'll see you here 7:30 tonight, same place, oh and dress nice," and walked away. Rory just smiled and went into her dorm.

It was 7:25 and Rory was standing in front of her mirror looking at herself amazed that she was on time for once. She had chosen a simple but nice light orange dress that was wavy material and with a black strip around the stomach. The dress went to about her knees and she chose a simple pair of black heels.

Has if on cue that she was ready, she heard a knock from the front door. She grabbed her coat and headed for the door. She opened it and said, "Right on time."

Colin was smiling at her when she opened the door. He was a little taken back by how great she looked. "You look absolutely fantastic Rory," was all he could think of telling her at that moment.

She blushed like a little girl at this, which Colin found even more intriguing. "Come on let's go get some dinner," he said and grabbed her hand and lightly pulled her along to his car.

"So where we going?" she asked once they were inside the car.

"It's a surprise," he said surprising.

"Hey, that's not fair," she said pouting.

"Don't worry you'll love it," he said smiling.

In a little while they pulled up into this tiny restaurant. The front of it was beautiful covered in all sorts of flowers. Colin smiled at her and grabbed her hand and brought her into the restaurant. The inside dim but not too dim and was covered in candles and flowers everywhere.

A waitress brought them to a reserved table in one of the corners. They took their seats and Rory looked around again. "God Colin, this place is so nice."

"I figured you'd like it here," he said looking around himself.

"I love it. I didn't even know this place existed, how did you find it?"

"I actually come here very often," he admitted while she smiled at him before he continued, "Yeah it has the best Italian food around, and this place is way too quiet for Finn and Logan so I just never thought of bringing them here."

"Then why'd you bring me here?"

"Because you don't throw things at people," he said smiling at the memories of Finn. Colin looked at Rory who seemed to be enjoying herself and breathed in before saying, "Rory, I have to tell you, all I could think about today was today's lunch."

Rory looked at him for a second before nodding," I know what you mean."

Colin sighed, he felt like he was flying above the ground. "Really?"

"Really," she said nodding and smiling. The waitress came back to take their orders but Colin didn't even noticed.

"So I had fun tonight," Rory said leaning against her doorframe… again.

"I think I heard that before," Colin said leaning in a little bit.

"Well it is very catchy," Rory said leaning in a little bit more.

"One of the catchiest," he said quickly before he crashed his lips against hers closing the gap between them. He fought with her tongue for longer than he intended but it was just so easy to kiss her. He heard her open her door and he broke apart from her to get some air. Rory grabbed his hand and pull him inside. She closed the door once they were inside and she pulled him in the room a little more thanking Paris for not being there tonight.

Within a few more seconds Colin broke the distance between each other and crashed his lips against hers. They were back at the same fight they were outside the door within a few seconds. Colin lightly pushed her back until something stopped them. Rory's leg was around his hip now with his hand on it while he was kissing her neck.

Rory started to take over his jacket little by little. Once that was gone she was working on the sweater he was wearing. Colin had removed her jacket while one hand was working on the shoe of the leg that he was holding. Soon the dress and pants were gone and they both stood there in his boxers and her panties.

He was kissing her throat while unhooking her bra while she was pulling down his boxers. Colin gently pulled down her panties and took a second to look at her. He was so flying sky high right now.

He quickly put on a condom and started to kiss her deeply again. She threw her legs up around his hips when he first gently entered her. He was kissing her shoulder waiting for her to tell him to continue. She placed her hips against his to signal the go.
