Dinner & the Interview
Finn's POV
We spent the the rest of the weekend catching up and spending time together getting to know each other more and more. I started to realise that I am falling for this amazing woman. At around 2.30 on Sunday afternoon my phone starts to ring. I get up from the couch and head to the bedroom to grab it I see the caller Id and answered.
"What's up Colin?" I ask
"Are you and reporter girl free tonight? Steph wants to catch up with you guys and thought a double date would be good" he says to me.
"Let me check with Rory" I say as I head back to the lounge.
"Hey kitten how do you about a double date tonight with Colin and Steph?" I ask her.
"That sounds great" she replies with a huge smile.
"What time and where?" I ask him
"Mancuso's at 7.30" he says
"See you then" I say and hang up.
"What time finny?" She ask me as I sit down.
"7.30 kitten so we still have about four and half hours till we leave, what do you want to do?" I say with a wink and a smirk.
"Well how about some hot and steamy sex followed by a shower to clean up with more sex in the shower and then we get ready?" She says with a sultry look. I scoop her up off the couch and carry her to the room where I ravish her for the next 2 hours before we shower I leave Rory in the bathroom to do her hair and make up while I choose my charcoal dress pants then look to my shirts.
"Hey Ror what are you wearing tonight baby?" I ask her
"My black skirt and white halter with my white pumps" she tells me so I decide to wear my green dress shirt and add my leather jacket to complete the look.
I head out to the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee. We still have 45 mins till we have to leave. I go to my study and check some emails while the coffee brews. I head back out pour two cups of coffee and take one into the bathroom where she is straightening her hair.
"Elixir of life my darling" I say as I walk in.
"You are a god" she says as she takes the cup and drinks half in one gulp.
"How long till your ready?" I ask her
"I will be done in here in about 20 mins so ready in about 30 is that ok?" She says.
"Perfect darling" I say and I go and watch some tv. Time flies by until I see her walk out of the bedroom. I'm floored by how beautiful she looks.
"Well Ms Gilmore you look amazing" I tell her with a huge grin on my face.
"Why thank you Mr Morgan you don't look too shabby either" she replies with a smirk. I get up and take her hand and we head down stairs to the car and make our way to the restaurant. We arrive and head into the maitre'd "reservation for McCrea" I say and he nods and leads us to our table. We are the first to arrive I take our Rory's chair for her and she takes a seat and I follow next to her. The waiter comes and takes our drink order while we wait for Colin and Steph. 10 minutes later Colin and Steph arrive at the table.
"Sorry we are late traffic was horrendous" Colin says as he pulls out his seat.
"Rory! God I have missed you girl" Steph says to Rory as she pulls her in for a big hug.
"I've missed you too Steph" she says and takes a seat.
I hug Steph and we all take a seat and peruse the menu soon the waiter arrives and we order.
"So what is your next step reporter girl?" Colin asks her.
"Well I have an interview on Tuesday with the Post and all going well I will be staying in New York" she tells them while smiling at me. My breath hitches with that smile and I smile back at her.
"Well it would be great to have you back, it means Finn here wouldn't need to travel and leave us all the time" Colin smirks at us and I just chuckle.
"Sorry mate but I will follow where she leads" I say and I grab her hand and rub it.
We slip into conversation about our lives and reminiscing about our college years. By 10.30 we have eaten and drank so much that we all retire back to my place because it's the closest to the restaurant.
Rory's POV
Tuesday
I wake up at the 10 am with Finn's arms wrapped around me I smile. I slip out of his arms and head to the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee. While I wait for the nectar of the gods I grab the phone and call mom.
" House of infinite pleasure queen Lorelai speaking" answers the phone.
"Infinite pleasure?" I question
"Yes, loin fruit what can I do for you?" She asks
"Just checking in, waiting for my life brew to be ready and getting a little nervous for the interview today" I say to her
"Oh sweets you will be great, just relax do your thing and you will be right I have faith in you" she tells me and I realise that she has told me exactly what I needed to hear.
"Thanks mom, well my life brew is ready and I want to wake up Finn" I say
"Bye sweets love you" mom says
"Bye mom love you talk later" I say and hang up as I pour two mugs of coffee and pad back to the bedroom. I open the door and walk in and place the coffees on the bedside tables and crawl in behind Finn and start to kiss down his neck.
"Finn honey time to wake up" I murmur into his ear and he rolls around wraps his arms around my waist.
"Sleep time still" he mumbles and tries to pull me in.
"No time for us to get up I have my interview today" I reply as I grab my cup and take a drink.
"Yeah you do and by Christmas you will have the job I just know it" he says to me and I smile at him while handing him his cup of coffee.
"While you enjoy the nectar of the gods I am going to shower and start to get myself organised" I say as I hop of the bed and head towards the shower. I enter the bathroom remove my clothes and hop under the warm water and enjoy the relaxing calm it brings me as I start to wash myself I feel a strong pair of hands on my shoulders.
"Trying to help or distract me Mr Morgan?" I ask with a seductive drawl.
"Distract always because you are a goddess and a vision and I can't get enough of you" he says into my shoulder as he kisses his way down my neck. I am soon distracted and lose control of everything. 30 mins later I hoped out and started drying and curling my hair ready for the interview. I spend an hour perfecting my hair and another 30 minutes on my make up then I look at all my outfits and have a panic attack.
I grab my phone and dial the one person that can settle me.
"House of calm how can we reduce your panic?" She says
"Mom, what do I wear? I'm freaking out over what to wear, it all just seems wrong" I say
"Sweets, wear the suit we bought before Mia's wedding it is perfect for this" she says to me and I pull it out of the closet.
"What shirt?" I ask
"Flowy floral peasant blouse, casual but with the pants and jacket it will be corporate casual" she says and again I feel instant calm.
"Thanks again mom your a life saver as always" I reply and hang up. I pull out the outfit mom tells me to wear and I get dressed and appraise myself in the floor length mirror.
"Not bad" I say to myself.
"Pretty damn sexy if you ask me" I hear and I turn around to see Finn leaning in the door frame.
"Why thank you Mr. Morgan but as much as I love you checking me out I must pack up my bag and get a cab to make my interview on time" I reply.
"Car is downstairs waiting and you packed your bag last night but I know you like to be early so" he says as he approaches me he gives me a peck on the lips "Good luck today but I know you will be amazing. I won't be here when you get back I have to go to the office so here is a key for you to let yourself in and call me to let me know how it went" he finishes.
"Thanks babe" I say as I grab my bag and head down stairs. I hop in the car and the driver makes his way through the New York traffic and we arrive at the post office with 10 minutes to spare before my interview. I head straight up to the 8th floor and check in with reception.
"Can I help you?" A petite blonde asks me.
"Yes Rory Gilmore I have an interview with Mr Frost at 1 pm" I reply
"Take a seat I will let Mr Frost know you are Ms Gilmore" she says and I take a seat and wait patiently.
"Rory Gilmore?" A man in his late forties with a balding head says.
I stand up and approach him.
"Nice to meet you Mr Frost" I say stick my hand out to shake.
"You too Gilmore, follow me to the conference room my superior is waiting for us to commence the interview" he says as I follow him into to the small room.
"Take a seat Ms Gilmore" he says as I sit I see a man with blonde/white hair turn around and it's the last person I expected to see.
"Ms Gilmore it's been a while, good to see you" he says
"Mr Huntzberger, I forgot that HPG owned the post" I say
"Why would that stop you applying for a job here? We are all professionals are we not?" He questions me.
"Of course sir I ment no disrespect" I reply
"No problem Rory, so let's move on with the interview. I am more of a silent participant in this interview just seeing how my senior staff hire and make sure they hire the right type of staff" he says and I take a deep breath.
"So Rory why do you want to work at the Post?" Mr Frost asks.
"Well I believe..." I say and we spend the next 45 minutes discussing my career my reason for working their and my future plans.
"Pleasure meeting you Rory and you will be hearing from us soon" Mr Frost says.
"Rory take care and you never know I could see more of you in the future" Mitchum says as he walks out. I make my way out of the building and towards the nearest cafe and grab myself a coffee to help regain my composure that I think I lost when I first say Mitchum.
As I wait for my coffee I call Finn.
"Hey kitten how did it go?" He asks me.
"Well if being blindsided by your ex's father in your interview with your future boss I as good thing then it went fantastic. I am such an idiot to forget that HPG own the Post" I ramble
"Wait did you say Mitchum was in your interview?" He asks
"Yes I did as a silent participant" I reply
"Well I still think you will get the job now I won't be home till around 6pm do you think you can manage without me?" He asks
"Yeah of course" I say as I get my coffee and make my way to get a cab and go back to Finn's place.
"See you when you get home dear" I say
"That sounds great kitten" he says and we hang up. I get to Finn's place take off my suit and collapse on his bed in nothing but my underwear and fall asleep.
A few hours later I hear a voice.
"FINN! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" The voice says and the bedroom door opens and there I am face to face with...
