They entered Branford and made their way to dorm 115. They stopped in front of the door, and Rory turned towards Finn.
"Well," she began, "with the public humiliation aside, I had a good time tonight."
Finn smiled at her and replied, "Same here kitten. When is your next free night? I've got to start planning, you know. A date with me is something to be remembered." He puffed out his chest and said the last part with a cocky air.
Rory laughed and smacked his chest. "Saturday is my next free night," she replied.
"So the week of Finn starts Saturday. I'll pick you up around 7."
"What should I wear?"
"I'll call you Friday and give you details."
Rory smiled at him. "Thanks. See you Saturday." And she leant in and brushed her soft lips against his cheek.
"No problem kitten. See you then." And he smiled at her, turned around and walked through the hallway.
Rory sighed and watched his retreating figure. She smiled to herself, thinking about the night she just had. Boy, did she have things to tell Paris. And with that thought Rory opened the door to their dorm room, only to be met with the sight of a nearly naked Paris and a nearly naked Colin, lying on the couch. Rory softly gasped, and then back peddled her way out of the room, quietly closing the door, as neither of the room's occupants had noticed her arrival.
Rory just stood there, staring at the door, trying to get the picture of them out of her head. "Well," she thought, "I can't stay here tonight. Where can I go?" She raked her brain trying to think of an answer, but only one came to mind. And with that thought, she briskly walked, not ran, Gilmore Girls do not run, out of the building, calling out Finn's name before he turned a corner.
"Finn!" she exclaimed, and saw him stop. He turned around and watched as she quickly made her way over to him.
"Couldn't wait for the pleasure of my company, huh love? Didn't get enough of me tonight?" He smirked at her, and was given a playful smack on the arm in return.
"Okay. So I walked into my dorm, and saw an almost naked Paris, with an almost naked Colin lying on my couch in the living room. I so do not want to go back there tonight. You have any idea where I could stay?"
Finn shuddered at the thought of Paris and Colin going at it on the couch, and threw his arm around Rory's shoulders. "My place is always open to you, more specifically, my bed is always open to you." Rory elbowed him in the side, and laughed. "Scared you wouldn't be able to keep your hands off me huh?" he said with a smirk. Rory just laughed at him again, which led Finn to pout. "Fine then, if you don't want to share a bed with my charming self, you could sleep on the couch, on the floor, in Colin's bed or in mine and I could sleep somewhere else."
"You sure I'm not putting you out?" Rory asked, concern marking her face.
"Not at all. It's nothing."
Rory nodded and said, "Thanks Finn."
"Your welcome doll. And here we are." He unlocked the door to his dorm, and stepped aside for Rory to go in ahead of him.
"Wow, nice place," she commented as she looked around.
"Thanks. Make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back." And with that Finn left the room and went into what Rory guessed was his bedroom.
Rory took off her jacket, and scarf, and walked around the room, looking at the pictures scattered all over. When she came to a large cabinet she pulled the doors opened, and gasped in surprise. Hundreds and hundreds of movies were lined up in the cabinet. Rory soon took to perusing them and found that many of them were really good movies. Finn and Colin had really good taste.
"You want to watch one love?" Finn said from behind her, softly laughing as she jumped.
"Just looking right now. Maybe later. You have an excellent collection." She turned her attention back to the movies.
"Thanks doll," Finn replied, watching as her eyes lit up when she came to a certain movie.
"Oh my god! You have this movie? This is my all time favorite movie ever!" and she pulled out 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'.
Finn smiled. "It's one of my favorites too doll. Would you like to watch it?"
"Definitely," Rory exclaimed, "but do you have enough junk food? Cuz you can't watch 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' without tons of junk food."
"You're in luck love. I was planning on having a movie night tomorrow so I went and stocked up." He walked over to the kitchen and started going through the cupboards, Rory following him. "Okay, so we have the obvious necessities for any movie night, red vines, Ben and Jerry's, gummi worms, marshmallows, pop tarts, and coffee. And then we have popcorn, salt and vinegar, ketchup and dill pickle chips, m&m's, plain and peanut, alcohol, and soda. Am I missing anything love?" Finn asked, after pulling everything out of the cupboards and turning around to Rory. "Did you want some pizza or Chinese perhaps?"
Rory just smiled at him and went and grabbed as much junk as she could. "My mom would absolutely love you," she said while she walked past Finn into the living room.
Finn laughed, grabbed the rest of the food, and made his way into the room. "Well if it's guaranteed that she'll love me, I definitely need to meet your wonderful mother. Who knows, maybe someday you'll have to call me daddy." He gave Rory a wink, and a playful smile. "But you know, you could call me daddy anytime you want, even if it doesn't work out between me and your mother. I most certainly won't object." He leered at Rory, his voice taking on a husky quality that made his accent even more prominent.
Rory burst out laughing and soundly smacked Finn on his chest as he keened over to her, a look of mock hurt on his face at her laughter. "In your dreams Finn. Now on to Willy Wonka. It's been too long since I last watched this. I need my oompa loompa fix." Rory got up and put in the movie, sitting back down on the couch, getting into a comfortable position.
"Got a thing for little orange me, huh?" Finn teased Rory.
"Who would not love oompa loompas? They sing, they dance, they have green hair! They're amazing!" Rory cried fervently.
Finn stared at her with a strange look on his face and then burst out laughing. "Love, I'm sorry, but you do know oompa loompas aren't real, right?"
"Blasphemy!" Rory gasped and covered Finn's mouth with her hand. "Never question an oompa loompa's existence in front of a Gilmore Girl! You do not want to know the consequences for such a crime. But…since this is your first offence and, I expect, your last, I'll let you off with a warning." Rory gave Finn a serious look. "Promise that no more lies will escape your mouth?"
Rory felt Finn's lips curve into a smile under her hand and he nodded. "Good. Now watch the movie." She took her hand off of his mouth and turned back towards the tv. Finn continued smiling at Rory, and then turned his attention to Willy Wonka.
They watched the movie in silence, Finn watching Rory more than the tv. Just as Veruca was deemed a bad egg, Finn stood up. Rory immediately grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.
"No getting up during a movie," she told him, still staring at the tv.
"But love," Finn whined, "I need to use the bathroom."
"No getting up during a movie. That's the rules Finn."
"But I really need to go," he whined even more, trying to pry her hand off his arm.
"Well you shouldn't have had all that soda and coffee."
"But love- " Finn started but was stopped by Rory's hand on his mouth.
"Shh. There's no talking during a movie night either. I'll give a formal list of all the rules later." Rory was so into the movie that she didn't realize that her hand was still on Finn's mouth. Finn, knowing he wasn't allowed to talk, did the next thing that popped into his head. He slipped his tongue through his lips and licked Rory's palm.
"OH MY GOD! You did not just do that! That's disgusting. How can you lick someone's hand!" Rory jumped up and ram to the kitchen, washing her hand in the sink. She heard Finn laughing and yelled from the kitchen, "It was so not funny!"
"I have to disagree with you there kitten. Your expression was priceless," came the faraway reply.
Rory finished washing and scrubbing her hand and walked back into the room, only to find it empty. Right after she walked into the room she heard a flush and a tap turning on. A few seconds later Finn emerged from the bathroom, his face glowing with laughter. He smiled at Rory's frown and then sat back down on the couch.
"Sorry about that doll," Finn said in a tone that implied he wasn't sorry at all, "but I really needed to go to the bathroom, and I figured that if I could get you to break movie night rules, then so could I."
Rory just glared at him, and sat back on the couch. "New rule for movie nights: NO LICKING!"
Finn leaned into Rory, and said in a husky voice, "Just so you know love, you can lick me anytime, any place you want." He licked his lips and smirked as he watched a blush spread over Rory's cheeks.
"Umm," she stuttered, "look, Willy Wonka," and she turned back to the movie.
Finn smiled and leaned back over. Once again they watched the movie in silence, neither moving until the credits rolled. Finn got up, stretched, and took the movie out.
"Do you want to watch another one kitten?" Finn question, his back to Rory.
Rory didn't hear the question she was too busy staring at Finn, taking in his form. Her eyes had been glued to him ever since he got up.
When Finn noticed the lack of response he turned back around to Rory, a smile breaking his features as he saw her checking him out. Rory's stare was broken as Finn turned around. She moved her eyes up to his, blushing as she saw the knowing smile on his inviting lips.
"Sorry, what did you say?" Rory managed to force out, the lump in her throat growing bigger as she watched him.
"Do you want to watch another movie?" he asked again, gesturing to the cabinet.
"Umm," Rory said glancing at the clock that read 10:50. "Sure. You pick this time."
Finn smile and turned back to the movies, scanning them for the one he wanted. "Ahh, here it is," he said, his hand grabbing a movie. He opened it, not allowing Rory to see the cover, and placed it in the player/ He made his way back to the couch, grabbing the remote from the table.
The opening credits started rolling and Rory let out a squeal of delight. "Pippi Longstocking! Classic! I love this movie. She smiled over at Finn, who was chuckling at her reaction. Rory started singing along with the opening song, surprised when Finn's voice joined hers. She grinned over at Finn when the song ended, and met his heated gaze which had been glued to her beautiful features. Rory's mouth went dry at the way he was looking at her. Unconsciously Rory and Finn both moved closer, breaching the space they had intentionally put between them. Soon their sides were touching, and Finn's arm made it's way across Rory's shoulders. A blush suffused Rory's features at the spark she felt run through her body as his skin touched hers. She could feel his gaze still on her as she turned her head back to the movie, trying to keep her mind off their closeness.
Finn finally turned his attention back to the tv, and soon got caught up in the movie. They spent the rest of the night watching Pippi, Rory's head finding it's way onto Finn's should, Finn's arm wrapped tighter around her. They both enjoyed the closeness, not letting themselves think about what it meant.
"Well," Finn said as the end credits started rolling, "I enjoyed that very much. I've never seen a girl pack away the food like you did doll. I'm very impressed." He smiled at her, took his arm from her shoulders and got up to take the movie out.
"This was nothing," Rory replied, "You had a good spread, but compared to my mom's movie nights, this was child's play. You'll have to come and experience a real Gilmore movie night. Trust me, you won't regret it." She got up from the couch, and stretched out her limbs. Finn turned around and caught sight of her mid stretch. He stifled a groan and made his way back over to her.
"I that an invitation kitten?" He smiled at her, getting closer.
"Uhh," Rory started, effected by his closeness, "sure. The next Gilmore movie night will be expecting your attendance. Once you agree you can't back out you know. This is a very serious matter." She looked at his with a mock serious look on her face and then added, "You'll get to meet my mom."
"Ah!" Finn exclaimed, "my future wife! How could I turn down the opportunity to spend time in her precious company?" Finn teased, staring off with a dreamy look in his eyes.
Rory just laughed at is words, then moved towards the bathroom. "I'm not even going to acknowledge your obvious insanity. You just have to promise me that I won't wake up in the middle on the night with you standing over my bed, knife in hand." Rory turned back around to face him as she got to the door of the bathroom.
Finn shook his head in the negative, and sighed, "I'm sorry love, I can't promise that. It's one of my favorite past times you know. Don't think I could give it up." His eyes twinkled as he looked at her, a large grin on his face.
"Oh well," Rory surrendered, "you can't get everything you want. Hey, you got anything I could sleep in? I'm not one for sleeping in a skirt." Her hand dropped down to her side, indicating the skirt that sat low on her hips.
Finn trailed his eyes down her body, and audibly swallowed. "Umm yeah, I'm sure I have something." And with that he walked into his room.
Rory just stood there waiting for him to come out. He finally emerged with a Yale t-shirt and sweats in his hands, which he handed over to her.
"Here. I hope this is all right." He said nervously.
Rory smiled at him and said, "Thanks. This is great. Be right back." And she stepped into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind.
Finn moved back to the living room and started gathering up all the garbage. He lifted his head as he heard the bathroom door open. Out came Rory in his way too big clothes; she looked insanely cute. His mouth went dry as he looked at her, standing there wearing clothes that were his. His clothes. They had been against his body and now they were against hers. He didn't know what to say, so he just stared at her. Rory started growing uncomfortable under Finn's gaze, and gave a nervous chuckle.
"So you think I could go to sleep now? I beat and have classes tomorrow." Her hand was at her throat, playing with a gold chain.
He watched her fingers as they ran the chain through them, hypnotized by her movements.
"Finn?" Rory questioned but got no answer. "Finn? Finn!" He came out of his daze, a blush creeping over his cheeks.
"Sorry doll, did you say something?" He started picking up the garbage again, not allowing himself to look at her anymore.
"I was just wondering if I could go to sleep now." Rory repeated.
"Of course," Finn replied, and walked into the kitchen, throwing all of the garbage into the garbage can. He turned back around and faced her. She stood in the doorway, just watching him. He cleared his throat and then started towards her, walking out of the room. "Follow me love," he said, not bothering to look back and see if she was following because he knew she was.
Finn walked into his surprisingly clean and tidy room. He turned and faced Rory who was standing on the threshold. "You can sleep here. It's my room. I'll sleep in Colin's. He won't mind."
"Oh no Finn, that's fine. I can just sleep on the couch." Rory said, quickly turning down his offer. She didn't feel right staying in his bedroom.
"I insist love," Finn retorted, and walked over to her. "You look tired. Go and get some rest. I'll see you in the morning."
Rory looked from the room to Finn and back again, trying to decide what she should do. She looked back to Finn and saw the glint of determination in his eyes, and sighed her compliance. "Okay. Thanks again Finn, for everything." And without thinking, Rory leaned up and lightly brushed her petal soft lips against his cheek, lingering a second too long. When she pulled back she saw lust and desire flash over Finn's eyes an she knew that they were mirroring her own. Instead of giving in to the emotions coursing through her, Rory stepped back, and whispered a good night. Finn just stared at her, his cheek still tingling from the touch of her lips. He moved a step closer and bent his head down, moving his lips to her ear.
"Good night love," he said, sending shivers up he back. He pulled away, smiled brightly at her and then turned and left the room.
As soon as the door closed, Rory let the shudder that his whisper had caused, shake her small form. Then she turned back to the room, taking it all in. She saw a massive cd collection along with a huge book collection. She stifled a yawn, and decided to look at them tomorrow. Rory turned to Finn's bed, walked slowly to the right side of it and pulled back the covers. She climbed in and let the scent of Finn surround her, relaxing her, so she soon fell asleep.
