"Finn put me down!" "No way love. Did you see the look in her eyes? Evil, pure evil!" "Stop being so melodramatic. If you hadn't asked her to come play with you, then you wouldn't be in this predicament now would you." "She looked lonely. I thought I'd keep her company." "She was six years old! What do you think it's going to look like to a mother if her six years old daughter was asked to come play with a twenty year old guy? She's gonna go ballistic, which you witnessed first hand. Now put me down!"

Signing, Finn swung Rory from over his shoulders to stand in front of him. She staggered a bit as she got her surroundings and Finn took the opportunity to survey Rory. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes still sparkled with her laughter. Her hair was slightly mussed from being upside down over his shoulder, she clutched miniature white teddy bear she'd named Calita and her shirt had risen up to expose some of her toned stomach and her belly bar. Finn ran his fingertips gently across her stomach, before locking his arms round her back as he leaned down to place a soft kiss on her lips. When he pulled back he heard her let out a soft whimper and couldn't help laughing.

"Come on love, we've got to get going or else we're gonna to be late.

To his amazement, Rory let out a growl, before she grabbed his hand and led him towards their rooms. Placing a chaste on his lips Rory bounded into her room while she clutched onto a miniature teddy bear named Calita. Finn had won it for her on his first try at the ring toss. Grinning as she remembered their time together at the fair, she pulled out her second suitcase that was filled with her fancy dress clothes. Hopefully her mum hadn't been able to get her hands on this suitcase, but a fate would have it all the fancy clothes she had packed had been completely removed and replaced with dresses, skirts and tops that were just this side of acceptable to wear for dinner.

Groaning, she decided to have a quick shower before she picked out her clothes for the evening.

Feeling refreshed, Rory once again faced the daunting task of having to pick out an outfit from her mother's selection of clothes. Recalling her vow to stop living a sheltered life and where that had led her to (underneath Finn) she picked out a plum red halter tie baby doll dress that showed just a hint of her cleavage, provided by her red strapless bra, and fell to just above her knees. She came across perfectly matching red 4 inch sling backs and a pearl bracelet. Her hair hung straight down past her shoulders with a side parting, gleaming under the room's lights like some sleek, furry animal. Her eyes were smoky and helped to create a mystical aura around her, while her light rouge lips and the pearl bracelet helped to provide some class to her overall appearance. Taking one last look in the mirror, she pulled on a glittery, blood red sleeveless shrug and went to meet Finn at the hotel entrance.

Finn was suited out in a classic black suit with a white shirt underneath. He'd left off his tie and the top two buttons of his shirt were open. His hair was gelled and his hands were shoved deep into his trouser pockets as he leaned against the hotel lobby's wall as he waited for Rory. Turning his head to gaze at the night sky, he reflected back on the past couple of days since he had met Rory in the hotel pool. He couldn't help smiling as he thought back to how she'd shot him down numerous times and how any sane person would have left her alone and moved onto someone else, but now, he understood why Dugrey had never given up, even though he had been away in North Carolina for the past year or so.

Rory was unique. The type of person who only came around once every couple of lifetimes. She was the type of person that saw the real you, no matter how hard you tried to hide it and no matter how many times you upset her, she always forgave you. She was damned fiery too. Finn couldn't help grinning as he thought back to last night and how fiery she'd been. They way their bodies had moved in synch at the club and the way her eyes had darkened to a midnight blue that put the world's best sapphires to shame. Then when they'd arrived back at the hotel. She'd been a completely different person. She'd been predatory, sensual, passionate……. Heck, he even had the nail and bite marks on his body to prove just how passionate she'd been. That thought made him smirk as he shook his head while shoving his hands further into his pockets to control his body's reaction to the scenes playing in his head like a favourite home movie.

Hearing the clicking on heels on the hotel floor coming his way, Finn lifted his head only to have the breath knocked out of him. He was sure that he looked like someone had hit him between the eyes with a sledge hammer. Rory looked stunning as she walked nearer to Finn. Her dress clung to her in all the right places and with the help of heels showed her legs off to perfection. Her eyes shone, and with the right eye behind a curtain of her hair she seemed to possess an aura of elegance, class and mystery. Finn couldn't help licking his lips as his eyes roamed over Rory's body and couldn't help chuckling as he caught sight of Rory's cheeks staining pink as she blushed under his intense gaze.

Rory let out a delighted laugh as Finn held out his hand for her to take as he hailed a cab for them to take them to the restaurant. Opening the door he spoke for the first time since they'd met up at the entrance,

"Shall we milady"? "Why yes of course my good sir, we shall." Entering the cab, they sped off to meet their families at the restaurant.
