THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! - Mae thanks for suggesting that and i may just take you up on it (jk) :) To those who think the Logan situation is a bit harsh, trust me it had it's purposes, and there will be future appearances by the younger huntzberger so keep reading :)Shawnee89 glad you read it and believe me i know that a lot of summarys suck but the stories are sometimes AMAZING so i'm glad you didn't judge the story by the sucky summary and decided to read it for yourself. finnlover- the reason Logan lashed is BECAUSE he is hurting so badly. he doesn't understand why she could just dump him and move in with his two best friends. he feels hurt and betrayed so i hope readers picked up on this. thanks for the comments and hopefully this chapter will live up to your expectations :)Irish-Chick13- glad you enjoyed the dialogue. this story is seeming to write itself so i am having lots of fun trying to get into the Finn character. please tell me, am i succeeding?
thanks to all other reviewers. reviews mean SO MUCH so thank you all for taking time to post your thoughts. NOW on with the story! (WARNING HAS SOME SUGGESTIVE DIALOGUE)
PDLD Chapter 5: Plunging the great Depp
When Rory and Finn left, they went their separate ways in order to get everything needed for a true wallow night. Although Finn was constantly mocking the entire experience, he was glad that he was able to be there with Rory in her time of need.
When Rory arrived back at the dorm it was around 5PM. She was surprised to see that Finn had beaten her there, and was even more surprised when she looked at the food spread across the coffee table. Finn was just sitting there amongst the mounds of junk food waiting for her arrival.
"Hey Finn"
"Hey"
"I see you got it covered" she said with a smile motioning towards the display of food
"While, I know that it is hard to believe, but even I can follow simple instructions."
Rory laughed at his comments "Well, before we commence this needed experience, I need to get into some comfy clothes. I'll be back in a few minutes".
Rory left the room and proceeded to get changed. When she re-entered the common room she was wearing yellow flannel pyjama bottoms with little blue coffee cups on them as well as a light blue tank top. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail and her face was cleaned of her make up. She looked completely natural, yet Finn thought she looked beautiful.
Finn had always admired Rory's natural beauty ever since he met her standing beside the coffee cart with Marty. He had planned to ask her out the day in her dorm when he was looking for the infamous red head with the short name. However, after he heard the end of Logan's 'Master and Commander' conversation he knew then and there that Logan wanted her for himself. Wanting to avoid the eventual fight with Logan he forgot about having any sort of relationship with her. In a way he was glad, because he got to know Rory and he would now never consider her as a one night stand.
Realizing Rory was speaking Finn left those thoughts behind and listened to the woman in front of him
"So Finn, I never got a chance to tell you our theme for tonight. Drum roll please Finn"
Finn started doing a drum roll, but made such an unrecognizable noise that Rory doubled over laughing.
"WHAT was that!" She asked giggling
"A drum roll" Finn replied shrugging his shoulders
"A drum roll? It sounded like a car with the engine stalling then it sounded like the same car running over a cat in heat"
"Well, I am a very sexual being love" He said with a wink
"HA! Serious understatement Finn"
"I'll take that as a compliment, thank you"
"Anyway, the real matter at hand is our theme which is….Johnny Depp!"
"ARGH!" Finn complained
"What? What's wrong with Johnny Depp?"
"Johnny Depp Love?"
"Come on, I got Finding Neverland, Chocolat for the steamy romance and lastly Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for comedic relief and mocking ability"
"But his movies are so odd"
"Finn! How can you mock Johnny Depp? He's a brilliant character actor and he's absolutely gorgeous!"
"Kitten you wound me"
"You know no one compares to you Finny" She said in a cutesy voice pinching Finn's cheek playfully
"Damn straight my dear! Now, in answer to your question, I'd rather not waste my time watching these films"
"Finn Come on"
"Wot?"
"If you want to be a participant in 'wallow night', you need to act in the way a female companion would at the mention of the delicious Johnny Depp"
"Fine, how about this" Finn cleared his throat and began talking in a falsetto
"Oh I just looooooove Johnny, he's so dreamy. What I wouldn't give to plunge the great Depp!"
"Finn that's disgusting! Why would you say something like that?" Rory exclaimed all the while blushing
"To see you blush of course! I love seeing you blush" Finn said pointing to her rose coloured cheeks
"Let's just watch the movie okay Finn" Rory said with a slight smile gracing her features
"Alright"
Rory put the Chocolat into the DVD player and settled herself on the couch with her feet propped up on Finn's lap.
All throughout the night Rory and Finn would steal glances at each other. Finally finished the second movie, Rory popped Charlie and the Chocolate Factory into the DVD and settled herself resting against Finn's broad chest. About ten minutes into the movie Finn could not stop squirming.
"Finn, quit moving around and watch the movie" Rory said just above a whisper.
Finn was able to sit still for another 60 seconds before he spoke
"Alright, I'm bored"
"What? Finn how can you be bored watching this? That is virtually Impossible.""Love I have been sitting quietly for over FOUR HOURS!"
"So one time my mom and I watched movies for three days straight. We only got up to use the bathroom and pay for the take out we ordered"
"Well you are not considering a very important factor about me"
"What's that?"
"I'm Finn"
"SO?"
"Have you ever heard of me sitting still for more then four hours before this night?"
"OH."
"Exactly
"Sorry Finn I forgot you are incapable of sitting still for large amounts of time"
"Hey how about we expand on the definition of wallow night"
"What do you have in mind?"
"Go get dressed in some casual wear and meet me here in ten minutes"
"Where are we going?"
"Get dressed and I'll tell you when were on our way" Finn said as he exited the common room into the room he now shared with Colin
This has to be the most interesting wallow night in Gilmore History Rory thought to herself as she headed into her own room.
When both Rory and Finn were ready, they left the dorms and headed out to Finn's SUV. It was only 9:15PM so they had a fair amount of time to get to there destination. Finn still had not told Rory where they were going, and as each minute passed, Rory couldn't help but think that what Finn planned would not be suitable for a wallowing Gilmore Girl. They drove in complete silence which was odd for two people like Finn and Rory, but Rory soon realized that her fears were founded when they pulled up to a large dome shaped building with a neon sign proclaiming The Hartford Disco Roller Rink 'Open.'
"NO"
"Wot?"
"NO"
"Rory?"
"NO"
"Have you ever been disco rolling before?"
"I'm a Gilmore Girl, me and my mom made a pact to never participate in things that require us to be athletic. Besides that, I have really sucky balance."
"Its alright I'll help you "
"Finn!"
"Come on Rory, I promised you a fun time. If you don't like it I will sit through any movie's you want me to for an entire night"
Rory considered his (non dirty) proposition and then answered him. "Fine, it's a deal. But remember any movie's I want for one entire night."
"It wouldn't be so bad spending time with you watching movies all night" Finn stated honestly.
"One word Finn. Glitter"
"Am I supposed to know what that means?"
"Glitter, the movie starring Mariah Carey. "
"That's just EVIL" Finn said with a look of mock horror plastered on his handsome face.
"You better make sure I enjoy myself then" Rory grumbled making her way to the building.
"Well, I can think of a few things that would make you enjoy yourself" Finn said giving Rory the once over
"Finn! Does everything you say have to have a sexual undertone?" Rory asked blushing slightly
"Of course! I'm Finn, the exotic and extremely sexy Australian. It is in my nature to act this way."
"Let's do this thing. But I'm telling you now Finn, I see infinite mockable movies in your future"
"Will just see about that." Finn said as he took her hand and led her through the doors of the Roller Rink.
Once inside Rory and Finn put on there skates and headed out to the floor. The room was extremely tacky with posters and photos from the disco era lining the walls. There was a Giant Disco Ball in the center of ceiling that reflected the coloured lights in the arena. Finn guided Rory around the floor holding her hands in his and trying to maintain his balance. Rory could barely move her feet, and she knew if she let go of Finn she would fall flat on her face. The two continued skating together for several minutes ignoring the rest of the people around them. Even though Rory was awful on her skates, she was having a good time with Finn.
The two skated some more all the while laughing. All of a sudden, Rory lost her balance and began to fall forward. She fell into Finn knocking him down. The two lay on the roller rink floor laughing over Rory's lack of balance. Rory was about to apologize when she noticed how close they were and started to look into Finn's gorgeous green eyes. Finn was also caught up in the moment and the two continued to stare at each other not noticing the people swirling on the skates around them.
Finn had the strongest urge to kiss Rory and decided that he should act on it seeing as how he didn't have a better opportunity then the one that was presented to him. He slowly moved his face closer to Rory's preparing to press his lips to her own. Rory felt that he was going to kiss her and did nothing to stop him. Finn leaned closer to Rory mere inches from her face and was about to kiss her when a dopey looking kid tripped over the pair of bodies and ruined their opportunity.
Brought out of their moment, Rory pulled away from Finn and tried to get up while Finn did the same. Unfortunately Rory lost her balance yet again and almost tumbled to the floor but luckily Finn caught her without falling himself.
"You alright Love?" Finn questioned
"Yeah"
"Lets get you off the floor. You are death on skates my dear"
"I told you about the Gilmore Girls and how we are athletically challenged!" she said ignoring the tension between the two after their 'almost kiss'
"Indeed you did, but did you at least have fun"
"Actually I did with the exception of falling on my face."
"Well I guess I no longer have to fear the word Glitter?"
"I guess you're safe for now, but keep it in your mind if you ever ask me to do something like this again"
"So do you want to get some coffee?"
"Do you even have to ask?"
"I really should learn because you say that every time I ask you"
"I could also use some food seeing as how I just burned all of my energy on those skates"
Rory and Finn headed over to the restaurant part of the disco roller rink, slid into their booth and ordered their coffee and food.
Rory was staring intently at her nachos trying to avoid Finn's inquisitive eyes. She had a question nagging in her mind and wanted to ask it but was afraid to. She knew she could always be honest with Finn so she put her fear aside and asked the question that had been on both of their minds
"We almost kissed didn't we?"
"I believe so"
"You wanted to kiss me?"
"Yes"
"Oh"
"Did you want me to kiss you?" Finn asked staring into her eyes trying to see her reaction. Surprised when she finally answered him.
"I think I did" she said looking straight into his eyes
"Oh. Would you mind if I tried it again?"
Before Rory could respond, Finn grabbed her face in his hands as his lips descended on hers. Not only did Rory allow him to kiss her, she kissed him back with just as much enthusiasm. Rory pulled away after a few seconds remembering Logan's words and realizing how the situation would affect Logan and Finn's friendship.
"Finn what are we doing?"
"You want me to answer honestly?"
"Of course"
"Were kissing Love" Finn said smirking
"Finn be serious!" Rory said hitting Finn in the arm
"Okay Rory. I'll tell you the truth. I like you. A lot. I have been attracted to you since the first time I saw you standing at the coffee cart with Marty. Then after I realized Logan wanted you, I stood idly by rather then take a chance and ruin my friendship with Logan. I stood by and let him 'woo you' to avoid conflict. Spending time with you, I realize that I have actual feelings for you, and the more time I spend with you, the stronger those feelings become."
"Wow Finn, I wasn't expecting that "
"Well, you wanted honesty and I gave it to you" Finn said taking a sip of his coffee.
"Yeah" Rory replied looking downward
"So how do you feel about this development?" Finn asked sounding somewhat hopeful
Rory looked at the man in front of her and decided to be completely honest, even if it meant a change in their relationship. "I think that I enjoyed kissing you and I would like to have many similar experiences in the future" Rory said shyly.
"Really?" Finn asked now smiling
"Yes. But I'm not ready to jump back into another relationship. I just broke up with Logan four days ago! And when I am ready, I won't do another 'no strings relationship.' I did that with Logan in the beginning and I think that it put a big strain on our relationship when we finally became exclusive. When I started the 'no strings' I knew it wasn't me and that it would end badly, and I was right. So I won't do that again."
"I wouldn't ask you to do that. Besides, I would miss you too much if things got screwed up between us. And I know that it is too soon after the Logan situation, so I'll wait until you're ready"
"Finn that's sweet, but I have no idea when I'll be ready to start something with you"
"Well when you are, I want to take you on a proper date to see if we would actually work"
"What if we don't work"
"Then we have to promise to stay friends. I don't think I could lose you Rory"
"I feel the same way Finn, but be serious"
"I am being serious. Were good friends and I plan on staying that way. When you're ready I'm taking you out and that's final. Now, let's get back home and reacquaint ourselves with Johnny boy" Finn said.
The pair got up and left the Roller Rink and headed back to the dorm, both thinking about the perfect kiss they shared, and wondering what would happen if the circumstances were different.
