Alive.
Rory walked out of her last class of the day, thankfully it was Friday and she had until Tuesday to catch up on some well needed rest. She began to make her way to the nearest coffee cart when she was greeted by Logan and Finn who quickly fell into step with her.
"Hello love"
"Hey guys"
"Any plans for the weekend?"
"Nope nothing special"
"You're not going home this weekend?" Logan questioned
"No. My mom and dad are taking Gigi to visit her grandparents and Lane is busy so I'm staying here, to catch up on some rest and schoolwork" replied Rory as they approached a coffee cart. She started to search her purse for some extra change when Logans hand stopped her and he shook his head.
"Coffee?" she nodded as Logan turned to Finn
"Same"
Logan turned to the young girl working at the coffee cart "3 coffees please" and he turned back to Rory taking the notebook and pen she had in her hand, using it to write his number on the $20 bill. He handed the bill to the young girl and winked "Keep the change"
He handed Rory and Finn their coffees as they continued to walk. Finn was grinning and Rory looked somewhat disgusted "Pig"
"You know you love me"
Rory rolled her eyes and Finn took a moment to speak "So if you have no plans you should come with us to New York City this weekend"
"New York?" she questioned.
"Colin's family has a house up there. We are leaving at 6:30 tonight if you want to join us"
"Us?" she questioned once again
"Juliet, Rosemary, Colin, Robert, Logan and of course me" Finn replied with a eye roll
"Ok, Ill go but that doesn't give me much time to pack"
Logan looked at his watch "It gives you almost 4 hours, that's plenty of time to pack"
"There's no way I can pack everything I need in 4 hours"
"You don't need that much, we will be back on Monday" Logan replied not completely understanding why it would take so long to pack.
Rory sighed in frustration "You wouldn't understand"
"And why not?"
"You're a guy"
"So? It can't be that hard all you have to do is put some make-up, clothes and shoes in a bag."
"It's not that simple! I need to decide on what jeans, what skirt, what sweaters, what t shirts, what shorts, what shoes, what-" Finn cut off her rambling
"Ok we get it, it's a complicated process" he turned to Logan "Girls, I swear they make everything complicated, all we guys do is throw the first bit of clothes we grab from our closet into a bag and grab some condoms from the nightstand" Logan laughed and looked at Rory as a light blush filled her cheeks.
"Ok well anyway, this is my stop" Rory motioned towards the door to her dorm "I will see you guys later"
"Bye Rory" "Bye Ace" Finn and Logan said respectively.
"Oh Ace, here's your notebook" Logan handed her the notebook that he had been holding since he borrowed it at the coffee cart.
"Thanks" Rory opened the door and stepped inside her dorm where she was greeted by Juliet staring at a bag of Lays potato chips on the counter.
"Hey Juliet"
"Hey Rory"
"Are you going to eat that?" Rory asked
"No! Do you realize what that one bag of chips could do to me?"
"Right sorry, so do you want to help me pack? it will take your mind off of those chips" Juliet's eyes lit up
"Of course"
The two girls entered Rory's room and Rory dug a suitcase out from her closet while Juliet plopped down on the bed. Rory opened the suitcase by her bed and she picked 3 pairs of jeans from her closet and handed them to Juliet. Juliet looked at the jeans
"Bring all of those" Rory nodded and dropped them on her suitcase, she would pack after she decided on everything she would bring.
"Will I need a skirt?"
"I think were just spending the weekend at the house but you may want to bring one just in case"
Rory nodded and pulled two skirts out of the closet holding one in each hand. Juliet studied each for a moment before pointing to the one in her left hand. It was a light blue denim mini skirt. Perfect for the possible occasion of if they went out. Rory dropped it on her jeans.
Rory and Juliet heard someone enter the dorm "Anyone here?" they recoginzed the voice as Rosemarys.
"In here" they called back. A few seconds later Rosemary appeared and dropped down on the bed with Juliet.
"Packing for New York?" Rosemary asked.
"Yes" Rory grabbed 4 shirts from her closet. The first one was her green 'Reading is Sexy', The second was her navy and blue stripped shirt, The third was a simple white long sleeved shirt, and the fourth was a light purple t shirt with a star on it. She dropped them on her suitcase and made her way to her drawers.
"Will I need a bathing suit?"
Both girls looked at Rory and big smiles came across their faces "Definitely, Colin has an amazing outdoor pool and hot tub"
Rory looked up "Its still Winter"
"It's a heated pool" Rory nodded her head in understanding before Rosemary continued "Bring at least 4"
Rory looked at her bathing suits, they were mostly bikinis. She didn't feel comfortable in them, actually she had yet to wear them. Rosemary and Juliet had made her buy 5 because according to them it was only appropriate that she had some suitable bathing suits. Her mother had made her buy one as well for reasons she didn't completely understand but considering it was her mother she probably didn't want to understand. She felt Rosemary and Juliet come and stand on either side of her.
"See this is why we are here" Juliet smiled and pulled out the red bikini and tossed it on the bed. "You need that one, it will bring out the color in your face"
Rosemary pulled out the next one, it was a light blue bikini "It will bring out your eyes"
Juliet pulled out the black one piece "You will feel more comfortable if you at least know you have it"
Rosemary pulled out the last one, it was a black bikini with several multi color stripes. "It's sexy" Rory nodded and shut the drawer and opened her pajamas drawer. She studied it for a moment before deciding what ones she wanted to take. She grabbed 3 pairs and threw them on the bed on top of her bikinis. She turned to the girls who were now leaning against her wall
"Would you go get my stuff from the bathroom?" the girls nodded.
"What do you need?" Juliet called from the bathroom
"I don't know"
She heard Rosemary laugh "That's not helping"
"Sorry"
After a moment of silence Rosemary and Juliet started taking turns naming off the things Rory had in the bathroom they thought she would need.
"Blow dryer?"
"Yes"
"Curling Iron"
"No"
"Makeup Bag?"
"Yes"
"Tampons?"
"No"
"Do you want your shampoo and conditioner?"
"Yes, I don't want to take any chances on what Colin may have in his house" she heard Rosemary and Juliet laugh
"Face wash?"
"Yes"
"Body wash?"
"Yes"
"Hair Spray"
"No"
"Razor"
"Yes" Both girls them emerged from the bathroom holding all the things that Rory had said yes to and dumped them on her bed. Rory was sitting on the floor slowly packing the things she had picked out into her bag. "Thanks"
"You have everything you need?"
"I believe so"
"Lets make sure" Rosemary said before Juliet ran down a list of things off the top of her head
"Jeans, Skirts, Shirts, Sweaters, Bikinis, Pajamas, Shoes, Unmentionables, Socks" Rory nodded at the mention of each thing but realized she needed a sweater so she stood and grabbed her favorite hoodie from her closet.
"Good so now that we have that covered, its on to other topics" Rosemary said
"Other topics?" Rory questioned.
Juliet nodded eagerly "Yes. Are you gong to hook up with Logan this weekend?"
Rory looked up shocked at her friends, who were staring at her "What?"
"She said-"
Rory cut Rosemary off "I know what she said, but what I mean is why would you ask something like that"
Both girls rolled their eyes "It's so obvious you to have a thing for each other and this weekend there will be no slutty girls around throwing themselves at him so you can have him all to yourself" Rosemary replied as if it was quite obvious to what she and Logan should be doing this weekend. While it was true she had a thing for Logan and she had had a thing for him for awhile now she didn't think she could be with him. Logan was very experienced she had basically no experience with the exception of kissing and a few brief groping sessions. Her thoughts were interrupted when Juliet spoke to her
"Well?"
"No"
"Why not?" Juliet questioned
"I'm not that kind of girl, and besides he wouldn't want to anyways"
"Of course he would, he likes you a lot Rory" Rory blushed at what Rosemary had just said causing Juliet to jump off of her bed and point her finger accusingly at Rory
"I knew it! You like him!"
"I do not!"
"Admit it, you do like him! You blushed!"
Rory sighed and ran her hands through her hair, there was no point in denying it know, they knew it was true and they would not give up until she admitted it "Ok fine, maybe I like him"
Rosemary grinned "Maybe?"
"Ok I like him, I like him a lot. Are you happy now?"
"Very" Replied a satisfied Juliet.
"You have to hook up now, oh I bet the sex would be great" Rosemary said with a dreamy look on her face, as Juliet poked her. Rosemary mumbeled a 'sorry'.
"You should pack some sexy lingerie, make this a weekend Logan will never forget" Juliet suggested.
"I'm not having sex with him" Rory quickly said
Both girls looked at her confused, Juliet was the first to speak "Why not?"
"I can't"
Juliet looked at her funny "What do you mean you can't?"
"I'm a virgin" Rory said in a low voice.
Rosemary shot her a look of confusion "You dated Dean for almost 2 years, and that other guy for a few months after that. You didn't have sex with them?"
"No" Rory said slightly embarrassed by the conversation.
"Is this a 'Im waiting for marriage' kind of thing?" Juliet questioned
"No it's a 'im not ready' kind of thing"
Both girls nodded their heads in understanding as Rory zipped up her suitcase and the girls made their way to the common room and decided to watch some tv for the next 45 minutes before the boys arrived.
