Back to reality
Rory's POV
The last couple of days before my new job started where a whirlwind of getting everything ready and making sure I had enough suitable clothes for work along with spending as much quality time with Finn. I was due to start work at 9 am but as usual I was up at 6 am too excited to sleep.
"Kitten come back to bed" Finn moans out as he turns over leaning on his arm looking me over.
"I have to get ready" I tell him
"You have 3 hours till you need to be at the office which is 3 blocks away. You picked out your outfit last night with the help of your mum. Come back to bed and me and I will help you release some of that nervous energy" he says with a cheeky grin.
"Fine but by 7 I am getting up and getting ready" I say to him as I jump on top of him and start to kiss him chastely.
He grabs my hips and rolls me over so that he is hovering over my body and starts his ministrations down my neck and across my breast I released a moan of pleasure as I pushed my body towards him more. He continues his kisses down my body and lifts my night gown above my hips and buries his face at my centre working me into a frenzy with his skilful tongue and fingers. I soon fall over the edge but before I can even catch my breath or relax he thrusts inside me filling me perfectly I then roll us over and ride him for all he is worth.
"Love if you keep up like this I won't last too much longer" he says while trying to control his breathing and I grin knowing what I can do to him.
"Really?" I ask with an innocent look on my face.
"Damn straight" he says as I roll my hips over him as I ride and then I feel him explode inside me. I let him finish his release before I remove myself from him and make my way to the shower. 20 minutes later I exit the shower dry myself off and wrap my robe around me. I pull out the stool in front of the vanity and start to do my hair and makeup. By 745 I am finished and dress in my grey pencil skirt and white blouse with my grey jacket. I slip on my black Mary Jane heels and grab my work satchel and head out to the kitchen. I grab my self a mug of coffee and some pop tarts from the pantry. I sit back and read my paper before I know it Finn is behind me.
"How are you feeling love?" He asks as he wraps his arms around my waist as I continue to drink my third cup of coffee.
"Not too bad I just hope everyone is nice and not too cut throat" I say voicing the concerns I have.
"It will be fine kitten, you are amazing and if they can't see it its their loss" he says as he walks towards the coffee pot to pour himself one.
"Oh thanks baby, can I get a refill while your there?" I ask him giving him my bambi eyes.
"You know I would never deny your elixir of life"he says chucking topping up my mug after he pours his own and puts some toast on for himself.
"Why thank you" I say with a smirk and continue to read my paper.
By 830 I have finished and am ready to head to work.
"Well babe I'm off I will call you at lunch" I say giving him a quick peck before I head out the door and make my way to the post offices. I arrive at 845 and check in with security before I head up to the 8th floor.
When I meet the receptionist I let her know I am here for my first day and that Mr Frost is expecting me. I take a seat for a few minutes till I hear Mr Frost approach.
"Rory, welcome to the Post. Follow me and I will introduce you to your editor and he will go from there with the rest of your department" he says as I follow him to the elevator and we go down to the 6th floor. We walk along a very open floor plan space till we reach an office at the back with a secretary.
"Is he in Jade?" Mr Frost asks
"Yes sir, he is expecting you both" she says with a smile as we enter the room.
"Mason, this is your newest writer Rory Gilmore. Rory this is your editor Mason Houseman" Mr Frost introduces.
"Nice to me you Mr Houseman" I say to him shaking his hand.
"Please call me Mason we are a lot less restrictive down here" he says with a chuckle.
"Well I will leave Rory in your capable hands. Let me know if you need anything Rory" he says as he leaves the room.
"So what's on my agenda for the day and where will I be sitting?" I ask him.
"Well the day starts in about 20 minutes for the Monday morning staff meeting. I usually check how stories are going and assign any new ones needed. I will also introduce you to the rest of the team and give you your first story. But for now I will show you around our floor, where to find everything and most importantly the break room" he says as we step out of his office.
"Please tell me it includes coffee and I will be relieved" I say with a grin.
"Of course it does and standard rule applies you finish the pot you make a fresh one, but I wouldn't do that with the regular coffee after 4pm no one drinks it they all switch to decaf" he says and I wrinkle my nose.
"Coffee snob?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Coffee addict some call it but it is my life's blood I cannot live without it and whoever says decaf is the same is just lying to them selves." I say with a chuckle.
"I will take your word for it but we need to get moving to the conference room for the meeting afterwards I will show you your desk" he says as we exit the break room and walk down the corridor to the conference room. A half a dozen people are already there. Mason just points towards a seat at the front as his way of saying sit there. Within 10 minutes the room is full and Mason starts the meeting.
"Good morning everyone, its going to be a busy week like usual so I hope your all up for the challenge. New business first we have a new writer joining us as of today, her name is Rory Gilmore and she has come straight from Obama's campaign trail. Make her welcome and help see that she hits the ground running. Next order of business..." he continues on and we listen for about 30 minutes including me getting my first story. I'm so excited that once meeting is over I jump up and walk out but realise I don't know where my desk is. I then wait outside patiently for Mason to come out and as I see his face I start to scowl.
"Not funny" I say grumbling like a child
"Just a little. Your were so excited to get started you forgot you don't know where your desk is" he says stating the obvious while grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
"This way Rory" he says as he turns in the direction all the other reporters went. Soon we arrive at a desk on the edge of the room " this is yours, decorate how you like just nothing offensive to others I don't want harassment suits filled" he says as he walks back off to his office I look down on my desk to find an information sheet with all my log in details to get me started. Ten minutes later I am finally logged in and start doing research on the story I was given along with reading through the notes in the file to see if I can organise any interviews. The morning flies by and before I know it one of my coworkers is tapping on my desk.
"Hey Rory, it's lunch time just wondering if you wanted to join us. We are just going to a little deli down the street and they have good coffee" she says to me I smile and lock my computer grab my bag and smile at her as we walk to the elevator.
"I'm sorry this may be rude but I didn't catch most of your names this morning" I say hoping that the understand.
"Of course, I'm Zoe, this is Claudia, Millie and Carly. Claudia and I are reporters like you and Millie and Carly are some of our department photographers. We all started around the same time so we became a close group but when we saw you we thought you would be prefect for our little group" she says to me as we all reach the lobby and I follow the group to the deli. As we arrive at the deli my phone rings I pull it out of my purse and smile.
"I'll be right in girls I have to take this call" I say to them as the head inside.
"Well hello Mr Morgan, to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" I answer
"Well hello to you too love. Just checking in as it is lunch time seeing if you wanted company for lunch?" He asks me and I smile at the fact he is thinking of me.
"I would love to but I'm already out with some of the girls" I say to him as I turn to see the girls watching me.
"Well I better let you get back to them let me know when your on your way home" he says as we finish our call.
"Will do, love you babe" I say
"Love you too kitten" he finishes and we end the call and I head inside grab myself a sandwich and coffee and join the girls.
"So who was that that causes your whole face to light up?" Claudia asks as she picks at her salad.
"Just my boyfriend Finn checking in on how my first day was going and seeing if I needed company for lunch" I tell them as I tuck into my sandwich.
"Oh yeah so how long have you guys been together?" Millie asks
"Oh just a couple of months but we have known each other for over four years. We went to college together and I dated his best friend for most of my college life" I say nonchalantly as I continue to eat.
"How is his best friend ok with it?" Zoe asks
"He wasn't to begin with but he worked through his problems and now we all get along great. Finn and I live together in his apartment a few blocks from the office" I tell them.
"You already live together?" They all ask
"Yeah it was his idea, he made a bet that I lost so I moved in around Christmas/new year." I tell them and we sit there and get to know each other more. We head back to the office where we continue to work. At about quarter to 5 Mason comes over to my desk.
"Hey Rory, how the day been?" He asks
"Yeah good just getting into the flow of everything. Everyone has been so welcoming" I say
"That's great to hear, Well whenever anyone new starts we all head down to the Campbell for some drinks how does that sound?" He says to me.
"Sounds like a plan let me just finish up and I will met you all down in the lobby" I say as he moves away to find everyone else. I grab my phone and make a quick call.
"On your way home kitten?" He asks me as he answers.
"Not quite babe, after work drinks for my first day at the Campbell around the corner from our place" I say to him
"Care for some company?" He asks
"If you would like to" I say with a grin
"Alright I will see you in about an hour by the time I finish up and get there" he says.
I then log off and meet the girls by the elevator and we head off to the Campbell. We arrive at the bar and are seated at a large booth. We grab a pitcher of margaritas and sit back and start talking. As I am sitting there the guy sitting to me left inside the booth decides to put his hand on my knee and start rubbing it.
"Can I help you there?" I ask him while a take another mouthful of my drink.
"You definitely could sugar" he says with a lascivious smile which makes my stomach turn.
"How might that be?" I ask playing along with his game getting ready to drop him like a sack of potatoes.
"Come home with me and we can have a party for two" he says as he leans in towards me.
"What was your name again?" I ask him playing along more.
"Richard" he says thinking he is getting some where.
"Ok so here's the thing Dick..." I say as I look around and see Finn's smiling face coming towards us. "See the tall dark and handsome guy walking towards us?" I ask him
"Yeah" he replies
"Well he is my amazing boyfriend so if you don't wish to have a sexual harassment suit on your hands I suggest you remove your hand from where it's going and move away before we get lawyers involved. Capiche?" I say to him and his face drops but his hand doesn't move. I then grab it off my leg and start to twist it just like Paris taught me.
"Do you still want to be able to use this hand?" I ask him as I keep twisting it he just nods at me.
"Then I suggest you get as far away from me as possible and don't ever try anything like that again" I say and he grabs his hand and moves closer to Mason who is in the middle of a story. Finn then sits down next to me and places his arm around my shoulder.
"Sorry I took so long kitten" he says as he kisses my temple.
"All good babe just getting to know my coworkers. Everyone is brilliant" I say smiling at them all.
"Ok everyone this is my boyfriend Finn, Finn this is the metro crew. Zoe, Millie, Claudia, Carly, Drew, Neil, my boss Mason and Dick oh I mean Richard sorry" I say with a cheeky smirk.
"Nice to meet you all" he says before he places his order with the waitress.
"So Finn I never caught your last name Rory here has not mentioned it or what you do." Zoe says making conversation.
"It's Morgan and I am Vice President for the family company Morgan Holdings" he says and I watch everyone's jaws drop.
"Rory! You didn't tell us you were dating one of New York's most eligible bachelors" Millie's says with a grin.
"I don't see him that way we go back to college together when I was dating his best friend" I say refilling my margarita.
"It's true back then I was just a drunken Aussie sleeping with whatever redhead I could find now days I'm a one woman man with the most amazingly gorgeous and talented woman I know" he says as he turns and gives me a kiss on the lips.
We continue to talk with everyone and enjoy a few drinks before we bid a farewell to everyone and walk the block back to our apartment. Once inside and relaxing on the couch Finn asks me a question.
"Why was Richard giving me the evil eye all night?" He says and I chuckle and tell him all about what happened right before he got there.
"My god you are brilliant woman" he says as he pulls me to my feet and takes me to our bedroom to have his wicked way with me.
