"Wake me up when you do, please." Laying her head down on a pillow, Rory stretched out into a comfortable position. It was a few seconds before she felt the bed shift as Finn's weight was put upon it, and yet a few more until his body was behind hers and his arm was wrapped around her. Nuzzling his head into her neck, Finn lightly kissed her collarbone before muttering a 'sweet dreams kitten' and falling asleep, Rory soon following.

"Wake up love, I have some coffee for you," Finn whispered in Rory's ear as he gently shook her shoulder.

Murmuring softly, Rory rolled onto her back and stuck out her hand for the coffee, eyes all the while still closed.

Chuckling lightly, Finn handed her the cup and watched as she blindly sat up and downed half the cotents. "Ah, heavenly coffee," Rory sighed as she finally opened her eyes. "Hey," she said to Finn before kissing his cheek. "How long did we sleep for? Not too long I hope. I'm really bad with the whole jetlag thing." Swallowing the rest of the coffee, Rory set the cup on the bedside table.

"We weren't even out for two hours, love. I'm pretty sure we'll be alright. Now up. You have to get changed so we can go do some sightseeing." Finn grabbed Rory's arm and pulled her up from the bed. "We have no time for dwadling. I've already changed, so I'll be waiting downstairs for you. See ya in a bit." And with that he left.

Stretching as she made her to the bathroom, Rory turned her head as she heard the door reopening. "Sorry love, I forgot something," Finn said as he made his way back into the room. Before she could reply Finn had his lips on hers and his arms wrapped around her waist. Pulling back after a long moment Finn gave Rory a devilish smirk. "Now that's what I call a proper wake up." He kissed her forehead and once again left the room. Smiling to hersef, Rory walked into the bathroom, excited about what Finn had planned for the afternoon.

"So," Olivia said as Finn walked into the kitchen, "I like her." Taking a drink of her coffee, Olivia watched Finn as he poured himself a cup.

"Good, cuz I do too," he replied as he took a seat at the counter across from her. "I really like her, mum. I think this could become something really serious."

"Even more serious than what you two are doing now?" Olivia asked in surprise.

Finn nodded his head in assent before guliping down half of his coffee.

"Don't you think things are going a little fast? I mean you're already meeting parents and have only been officially dating for a couple of days. You've never been in a serious relationship before Finn, and you're falling headfirst into this one."

"You don't understand. She's perfect for me mum. We compliment each other so much. I'm not saying I love her or anything. I just mean that I could definitely see myself doing that in the future. It would be so easy to fall in love with Rory and more importantly I find that I want to do so. I think I've found someone who I could spend the rest of my life with in Rory. But it's really way too soon for me to be saying that or even thinking it because as you did point out, this is my first serious relationship and Rory is the only girl that I have ever call my girlfriend."

"But you are thinking about it and that in itself is amazing. I never thought that I'd live to see this day. Are you really my son? I truly can't believe half the words that are coming out of your mouth. You've changed Finn, and it's definitely a good change."

"Well that's a relief. I wouldn't want to change for the worse."

Finn got up from his seat and walked over to Olivia's side, pulling her into a hug. "So I have your approval?"

"Definitely. Rory is exactly the type of girl that I have always pictured you ending up with. I'm glad you two are together. Now go," she said as she pushed Finn away, "You didn't come all the way here just to see me. I'm sure you'll be able to find some other people here who would love to see you again, not to mention meet Rory. Plus you have to take her sightseeing. She's probably just itching to see everything." Olivia got up from her seat and put her mug down in the sink. "I won't be expecting you for dinner, so don't feel obligated to come back here early. I have plans anyway, so I most likely won't be home til late myself. I have to be on my way. Tell Rory hi for me." Giving Finn a kiss on his cheek, Olivia grabbed her bag and coat and left the kitchen, the sound of the front door opeing and closing reaching Finn's ears moments later.

With a slight smile on his lips, Finn sat back down and grabbed his coffee immediately downing what was left of it. He sat staring into his empty mug, thinking about what his mom had said not noticing Rory's entrance until her arms wrapped around his waist and she placed a soft kiss on the back of his neck.

"Hey love," he said as he turned around in her grasp.

"Hey," Rory replied, smiling when he drapped his arms across her waist in return. "What's got you thinking hard so early in the morning?"

"Just something my mum said," he replied vaguely, leaning forward until his lips almost touched hers. "It's nothing important. What is important though is the fact that you haven't given me a proper hello."

Smiling Rory said, "Oh dear thoughtless of me. I'll have to rectify that immediately." Sliding her arms up to entwine around his neck, Rory gathered herself closer to Finn before whispering, "Hello Finn," and crashing her lips onto his. Taking control of the kiss, Rory pushed Finn farther into the counter, arching her body so that every inch of it was pressed against every inch of Finn's. Tracing her tongue around his lips demanding entrance, Rory moaned deeply when Finn's tongue met hers. Pulling back when air finally became necessary, Rory pushed her head into the crook of Finn's shoulder, laying quiet kisses upon the exposed skin, sending shivers racing through Finn's body. His hands were running all over Rory's body, up into her hair and down onto her thighs, needing to feel all of her.

"Love," Finn finally managed to croak out after regaining some of his control, which was extremely hard to do as Rory was still placing kisses on his neck, "if you keep that up we'll never leave the house and you'll never get to see all the sights that my home town has to offer."

Rory sighed, knowing that he was right but not wanting to move. "Just a couple more minutes," she mumbled into his neck. "You're just so comfortable Finn."

"Fine. I concede. A few more mintues, than it's time to go."

Rory snuggled closer to him, sighing contently. "You're the best boyfriend ever."

"You are the worst boyfriend in the entire world!" Rory exclaimed angrily as she glared over at a laughing Finn. "I didn't even want to do this but you forced me to. I don't do any form of exercise, let alone any kind of sport. I knew I would suck at it and I told you I would, but did you believe me? Noooo." Standing up, Rory forcefully brushed the sand off her body, muttering incoherently under her breath. Looking back to Finn she said in her best imitation of him, " 'Come on love, it's not that hard. Everyone here does it. You'll be a natural. I promise I won't laugh. You just have to trust me on this one.' " Picking up the broken halves of the surfboard Rory threw them at Finn while yelling, "It so too was hard. Everyone here doesn't do it. I am not a natural at anything athletic. You did too laugh! And I'm never going to trust you on anything ever again!" Throwing up her hands in frustration, Rory collasped down onto the sand.

"Rory love," Finn said through his laughter as he sat down beside her, "don't take it so seriously. I sucked my first time too. Granted I didn't break the surfboard, I still sucked. It takes practice to get good at anything, you know that. Now come on, give me a smile."

Rory obstinately turned her head away from Finn.

"Love, if you don't give me a smile, than I am going to be forced to get one myself and I don't think you want me to do that."

Still ignoring him, Rory shifted farther away, angrily crossing her arms over her chest.

"Fine then," he said, "you leave me no choice but to play dirty."

Alarmed by the tone of his voice, Rory looked over to Finn right as he launched himself on her and started tickling her mercilessly.

"Finn!" Rory screeched in surprise. "No! Don't! Stop, Finn, stop! I can't-" Helpless against the laughter that spilled from her, Rory tried to push Finn off of her. "Finn!" she exclaimed breathlessly a smile making it's way onto her lips, "stop I can't take any more. Please!"

Smiling devilishly, Finn looked down at Rory, "I got the smile I wanted, but did I get the forgiveness I want as well?"

"Yes! Yes Finn I forgive you. Just please stop tickling me."

"Good." Rolling off of her, Finn sat down in the sand and pulled Rory up against him.

Groaning, Rory wrapped an arm around her stomach. "That was low Finn," she said with and accusing glare.

"So it was doll, but I do what I have to to get what I want."

Pouting Rory tunred to Finn. "Now my stomach hurts and it's all your fault. It's also all your fault that I made a total ass of myself surfing and that your surfboard got broken and that I have sand where sand isn't supposed to be and that the people around most likely think I'm crazy and that--"

"Doll," Finn said as he covered her mouth with his hand, "as much as I love hearing you blame me for everything, we really need to get going. We have to stop by the house to shower and change and then we're going to meet up with some of my old friends. Now if you just get up and go into the car, I'll be glad to listen to you continue with your little rant, but if we don't leave now we'll be late. And I know how you hate being late to anything." Smirking at Rory's glare, Finn stood up and brushed the sand from his body before reaching a hand down and pulling Rory up beside him. "You grab our clothes and I'll grab everything else." Nodding in assent, Rory quickly gathered up their clothes and turned back to Finn. Quietly she watched him as he bent and picked up the rest of their stuff. Smiling at the sight before her, Rory thought just how lucky she was.

Hey. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my last chapter and thanks to all you guys who read this one. I was going to write more in this chapter, go right into Rory meeting Finn's old friends, but I didn't know when I'd get that part done, so I decided to cut it short and post this. I hope it's not too bad. And I know that I didn't do the whole time difference thing right, but I don't really care. Rory and Finn are going to spend the rest of 'the week of finn' in Australia and I'm not counting in the time it takes for the flights. Also I have a question for you guys. I can't decide when I should put in the first sex scene. I was thinking either their last night in Australia (but I think that might be a little too soon?), a few days after they come back from Australia, the day when the whole mitchum situation comes to a head, or a couple months down the road. I'm really not that sure. Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks so much.
