AN: Okay, So I have a good reason as to why this took so long. This chapter contains a mild sex scene. It is not super graphic so that I can keep my current rating, but it is there. I'm still working on this type of writing so if that scene isn't great I am sorry. I worked really hard to make it flow nicely.

Shout out to my girl Christine who corrected my grammar mistakes.

I hope y'all like this. Please let me know what you think!


February 3, 2005 (Thursday)

It had been two months since New Year's. Finn was happily back at school, and had successfully avoided the wrath of his father and sisters. With help from his mother, he and Derrick were able to get to the house, get their stuff, and leave. They decided to take refuge at Finn's off campus apartment.

When they got there, Finn had found out that Logan had moved during the break. According to Colin, Logan didn't want to live with a 'backstabbing, girl thief'. Supposedly, he had talked his father into getting him his own apartment on the opposite side of the campus. That was fine with Finn. He had grown tired of Logan when he was talking about Rory as an object.

With little convincing, Finn was able to get Colin and Robert to agree to let Derrick crash in Logan's previous room until he could situate his own place. It turned out he had left his apartment to move in with Bella, since hers was bigger, and since the New Year's Eve party Derrick hadn't dared try to return. Luckily his office was only a 45 minute drive from the apartment. He was the same size as Finn, so he was able to borrow some clothes until he could buy new ones. He knew there was little chance that his stuff had survived the rage of Bella.

After a couple weeks Finn, Robert, and Colin offered Derrick the room permanently. They had the apartment for the next year and a half, and it would give him time to find a decent place. Finn also joked that living with them would give Derrick more access to a certain blonde.

Today was Thursday. Finn and Colin had just finished their final class of the day and were playing some video games with Derrick. He never worked late on Thursdays or Fridays, giving him the illusion of a 4 day weekend.

There was a knock on the door. Finn, knowing it was Rory, got up to answer it. When he opened the door he greeted his girlfriend with a playfully sensual kiss, letting his tongue dance with hers for a moment before separating.

"Hello to you too, Mr. Morgan," She said with a smile, her cheeks turning pink from the blush she got every time they kissed like that.

"Hey Gilmore," Colin said from the lounge chair, "have you come to dump Finn and give me a second chance? I'd love a kiss like that from you."

Rory rested her hands over her heart, "Of course I have," she said with a smirk. "I can no longer deny my feelings for you Colin."

Colin laughed, "I think Finn has been rubbing off on you. I don't remember you ever being this outgoing or dramatic."

Rory entered the apartment and took a seat on the couch next to Derrick who was so focused on the video game he was playing he didn't notice her presence "No, what I think, is you all have had a terrible influence on me, and have corrupted my innocence." A playful smile covered her face.

Finn sat down on her left side and laced his fingers with her's. "So what do you want to do tonight?" They had made it a habit do something every Thursday night as a group. This varied from watching movies to going out to eat to finding a bookstore to rummage around. Sometimes Robert, Stephanie, and Paris would join them.

"Anything is fine with me. Oh, Derrick, before I forget, Paris wanted to know if you two were still on for dinner tomorrow night."

He nodded as he set the controller on the coffee table, "I'll call her. I got the reservation all set at that new Italian restaurant."

"Oh yes," Colin said gleefully, "the first real date. I cannot believe that you are brave enough to take on Paris Geller."

Rory pointed her finger sternly at Colin, "Watch it McCrea, that's my friend and roommate you are talking about."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "I make no apologies. You know that she is a tough person to be around. Shit you lived with her."

"I'll admit that she has her moments, and even she knows it, but she also has the same needs that we all have. In fact I think her need for companionship is more prevalent seeing as her parents have never been there. She puts up a wall, but once you break through you'll find that there is so much more to her that you could have ever imagined." She turned to Derrick, "Don't be weak. If she gives you a tough time give it right back. She'll respect you more if you don't instantly cave to her bluntness."

"Thanks Rory. I'll keep that in mind. But I'm still taking things slow. I was engaged just a couple months ago."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, mate. We all know that you were engaged to the dragon that is unfortunately my sister." Finn stood and made his way to the liquor cabinet. "But you are free of her now. Time to celebrate. What I really think, is you and Paris need a steamy night in." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

He poured a drink for everyone and handed the glasses out. He hadn't been drinking nearly as much as he used to. Being with Rory he found no need to be sloshed to enjoy her company. "To Derrick and his new start," he said loudly as he raised his glass in the air.

Everyone followed his lead. "Here here!"

They ended up walking to the China Wall for dinner and then to Jimmy's Ice Cream Shoppe, a few blocks away, for dessert.

Colin and Derrick found the Game Stop a next to Jimmy's where they both became enthralled in some live demonstration of new gaming technology.

Finn and Rory decided to leave them there and head back to the apartment by themselves.


When they were about a block away, it started to rain. Nature decided to skip drizzle and go straight to down pour. They did their best to seek cover the rest of the way there, but they ended up getting soaked.

When they finally got inside, Finn turned on the heater and they both headed to his room.

Finn pulled two large towels from the bathroom cabinet and handed one to Rory. He then moved to his dresser and pulled out two pairs of sweat pants and two white t-shirts. He handed one set of clothes to Rory and then turned to go to the bathroom to change his own clothes.

Before he made it to the door he felt Rory's hand on his shoulder. "What, you too shy to change in front of me?" Her voice was quiet. "I think we should be able to change in front of each other."

He turned back towards her and with a smirk he removed his sweater along with his t-shirt and tossed them across the room. When he looked back at Rory she was staring at him with wide eyes. Most girls didn't realize that he was actually in pretty good shape. They all assumed that his loose clothing hid a less than firm form.

After a she snapped out of her staring trance, Rory got to work on her own clothing. She peeled her sweater off first, revealing a long sleeve light blue shirt that was pretty much see-through since it was wet. She grabbed the hem of her shirt and started to lift it, but Finn suddenly stopped her. He had a better idea.

He kissed her lips gently as he moved her hands away from her shirt. His lips moved from her lips to her jaw and slowly down to her neck. He worked his way across her throat, playfully nipping her skin as he went, to the other side of her neck. He smiled against her skin as he heard soft moans escape her lips.

He broke his contact with her and dropped to his knees; his head was level with her belly button. He grabbed her shirt and lifted it slowly. He kissed her skin as it was exposed, bringing himself back to his feet the higher he got. He lifted the shirt over her breast exposing a white lace bra. He felt a surge of excitement jolt through him as he saw that that piece of clothing was also see-through. He planted kisses on the top of each breast before finishing his task at hand.

He finally removed the shirt completely and tossed it across the room. He allowed his hands to roam the length on her torso as he went back to kissing her lips.

"Finn," Rory finally spoke.

"Yes luv?" His voice was heavy with lust.

She didn't say anything, but instead moved closer to him and ran her hands across his chest. His skin burned at her touch. His body reacted as she moved her hand down his stomach to the button on his jeans. She locked eyes with him as she undid his pants and then undid her own.

Once they were both in nothing but their underwear, Finn wrapped an arm around her and pulled her flush against his body. As he kissed her, he moved them towards the bed, turned to sit on it and pulled her down to straddle his lap.

His hands gripped her hips as his lips wandered from her lips, down her neck, over her collar bone, and to her left breast. He used his teeth to tug the thin material down, exposing her pink bud. Finn glided his tongue over it and felt it harden.

He gently bit the perky bud, causing Rory's hips to grind into his lap. He let out a growl as he moved to the other side and repeated his previous actions.

Rory's hands moved to unclasp her bra and it dropped to the floor without another thought.

Finn looked at her, "Do you know what you are doing to me right now?"

She answered his question with a grind of her hips and a mischievous smile.

His mouth moved back to her's, and in one quick motion he lifted Rory off of his lap and laid her on the bed, their lips never separating from the aggressive kiss. He positioned himself on top of her with his knee pressed firmly between her legs.

As they continued to kiss, her hands moved down to the last bit a sheer fabric she had on her body and started to pull it off.

It took every bit of Finn's strength to stop her from completing her task. "Rory," his breathing was labored, "I don't want to continue unless you are sure you want this." He knew he sounded stupid. No guy ever stopped a girl from having sex with them. He certainly had never done it before.

She didn't say anything, but instead continued to remove the garment and then wrapped her hands around his head and pulled him down to her lips.

He too removed his last article of clothing and then positioned himself between her legs.

Her big blue eyes connected with his. "Please, Finn, I need you." And that's all it took.

He pushed into her and reveled in the gasp that escaped her lips. Moving slowly at first, he enjoyed every second of being wrapped in her wet warmth. After a few delicious moments he began to speed up.

Rory's nails dug into his shoulders as she lifted her hips to match his thrusts. One of her hands through his hair and she pulled his lips to her.

He felt her tighten around him. "Oh god, Finn!" she practically screamed as her back arched off the bed, and her hands moved to grip the sheets.

His eyes rolled back as he felt her grow tighter around him. Her moans encouraged him to go faster and harder morphing the sounds coming from her into borderline screams.

As he let up a little, for fear of hurting her, she grabbed his shoulders and pressed her body closer to his. "Please, Finn, don't slow down." She was out of breath.

He smiled a wicked smile. "As you wish, luv."

He sat up and hooked his arms under her knees lifting her bottom off the bed, and continued to pump into her. After she came a couple more times, Finn was finally met with his own orgasm.

When he was completely spent he collapsed next to her and wrapped them both in the comforter, and pulled her close to him. After a few minutes her breathing began to deepen.

When he thought that she was asleep he kissed her head and whispered, "I love you, Rory Gilmore."

He settled his head back onto his pillow, and just as he started to drift he head a soft voice, "I love you too, Finn Morgan."
