3. Turnin' Night Into Daytime
Back at Yale Rory stood in front of her closet and had no idea what to wear. How should she dress up for a party she knew nothing about? Once again she mentally cursed Finn for not giving away any details. After hesitating for a long time she finally chose a pair of tight jeans, a simple black tank top with a bit of lace on the neckline and her white blazer over it.
After putting on some makeup she looked at herself and nodded. That would do it. And if not she could still blame Finn for it! She put her wallet and mobile into her purse, then went to the kitchen to pour herself some coffee. Just then she heard a knock on the door.
She took her coffee mug and went to the door to open it.
"Don't tell me you're ready?" Finn asked, not losing any time with greetings.
"What kind of question is that, Finn? You said 'be ready at noon', and since it is almost twelve I'm ready to go. Or why wouldn't I be?"
"Because you're a girl!" Finn replied matter-of-factly.
Rory rolled her eyes. "And as I'm a girl I'm supposed to need an eternity to dress up for a party and leave the guy who picks me up waiting for what seems like forever, but making him forget how angry he was because of all the waiting the second he sees me, just because I look so gorgeous? Is that what you intended to say?"
"Hey, don't get mad at me, love." Finn said, lifting his hands in defeat. "I didn't mean to complain about anything, I was just a bit surprised, that's all. But I can assure you that it was a good surprise."
Now Rory couldn't be angry at him anymore. Apparently he had never met a girl who was able to get ready on time so she couldn't really blame him for being surprised to see her ready to start.
"Oh, and just for the record, you do look gorgeous!" Finn added and gave Rory a bright smile.
Rory smiled back and instead of just saying thanks she got on her tiptoes and placed a small kiss on his cheek. "Don't make me regret this kiss by dragging me to a bad party!" she threatened in a playful voice.
"It won't make you regret this, I promise. In fact, the party will be so great that you'll feel the need to make out with me just to thank me for it!"
Rory almost started to complain about this but then she realized something that made her heart skip a beat. The second Finn had mentioned her making out with him she had imagined to kiss him and the thought had felt good. Oh yes, that thought had felt awfully good!
But all that was left of this good feeling one moment later was guilt. Logan was away and she felt great by the thought of kissing his best friend? Rory had never felt so guilty before. What happened with her? She tried to calm down by telling herself that she didn't even do anything and that Logan would never know anything about this, but the bad feeling didn't go away completely.
Finn realized that she had intended to say something but this time he had no idea what she was thinking because he was to confused by his own feelings. He hadn't meant to say this out loud. The thought of kissing her had occurred to him quite a few times since he knew her, but since Logan had left this thought had turned into a desire he could barely control.
She's Logan's girlfriend!" he kept telling himself, but somehow her presence made him lose his head. Whenever she was around he couldn't help but flirt with her, imagine kissing her and sometimes even more.
The second her lips had touched his cheek a few moments ago he barely had been able to keep himself from pulling her close and kissing her on the lips. But instead he decided immediately that he would keep away from any kind of alcohol at the party because he knew that in a drunken state he wouldn't be able to control himself anymore.
"So, can we go?" Rory asked to distract herself from all the crazy feelings she had.
"Sure, love." Finn answered. "But first you've got to put this on." With that he pulled a blindfold out of his pocket.
"One day I'm going to kill you, I swear!" Rory answered when she took the piece of cloth out of his hands and put it on.
"Can't wait for it!" Finn replied. I'm sure Logan would be happy if he wasn't the one who had to do it! he added to himself. Damn, he was a dead man if he didn't find a way to get rid of all those feelings immediately!
"Okay, let's go!"
"Finn, I can't see anything, so if you want me to come with you you'll have to show me where to go."
The next moment Rory felt his arm around her shoulders and started walking next to him. As she couldn't see anything the feeling of his touch was even more intense than it would have been without the blindfold and it brought the thought of making out with him back.
She mentally cursed herself. Why the hell couldn't she stop thinking like that? Suddenly she felt the need to get really, really drunk. She knew it maybe wasn't the best idea, but she didn't care. She just needed to get drunk and forget everything right now. And it would take a lot of alcohol to drown all the thoughts she had about her and Finn while his arm was around her.
During the ride in Finn's car neither of them spoke a word. When Rory felt the car stop she wondered if they already were at the party, but she doubted it. The ride hadn't been longer than one hour and there was no way a party started at one in the afternoon.
"Finn, where are we?" she asked, fully aware that she sounded as impatient as a five year old on Christmas Eve.
"Why don't you get out of the car and check that yourself." Finn replied and took off the blindfold.
"An airport? Do you want to tell me we are going to go to that party by plane?" Rory asked in disbelief.
"Well, as my dad happens to have a plane on his own and since the best parties are to far away from New Haven to go there by car we sometimes take the plane to go to a party!" Finn replied smiling. He loved the amazed look on her face when she realized that he wasn't joking.
"You're such a spoiled rich kid!" she threw at him but her smile showed him that she was impressed by this whole thing. "But I guess you're not going to tell me where we are going?"
"Right, love." Rory sighed. "But as you were such a nice girl and didn't make me wait earlier I think I can give you a hint. Turnin' night into daytime is something typical for the place we're going!"
"What is that supposed to tell me?" Rory asked but Finn only shrugged his shoulders and smirked at her. She sighed again and followed him.
They made their way towards the plane of Finn's dad and when they entered it a blonde girl welcomed Rory.
"Hey, Rory, I'm Steph. We've already met at the LDB Event you went to with Logan. Finn asked me to accompany you during the flight. Come on, let's get a seat and have a bit of girls talk!"
Rory followed Steph and they had a good time together during the flight. Steph was really nice and Rory felt like she had found a new friend.
A bit more than 3 hours later they were told to buckle up for the landing. When Rory looked out of the window she couldn't believe it.
"We're going to Las Vegas?" she asked Steph, but before the girl could answer she heard Finn's voice behind her.
„Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime, turnin' night into daytime, if you see it once you'll never be the same again!" he sang and finally Rory understood his hint.
„Wow! That's great. I've always wanted to go to Vegas!"
„You've never been to Vegas before?" Steph asked and Rory shook her head. „You'll love it!" the blonde girl told her. „It's a pity that Logan can't be here, he loves Vegas!"
Rory nodded but just moments after it her eyes traveled to Finn, who walked through the aisle to his seat now. Nice ass! The thought came to Rorys mind and she didn't even realize that she was smiling.
„Wow, seems like you take it quite well that your boyfriend is thousands of miles away in London." Steph wasn't sure if she had seen right. Had Rory Gilmore really just smiled at the sight if Finn's ass? She couldn't believe it. Well, actually, she could believe it as she had admired this ass a few times herself but Rory wasn't that type of girl who forgot her boyfriend as soon as he was gone and started flirting with other guys. And Steph hoped that she wouldn't turn into one, she knew this would break Logan's heart, especially if the other guy was one of his best friends.
Rory looked at Steph after her remark and wasn't able to hide the guilty look on her face. „No, I don't. I really miss him. I just try not to think about it, I don't wanna ruin the party for anyone of you." she tried to save the situation.
Steph nodded. Rory sounded absolutely honest to her, she knew she really missed Logan. Nevertheless she decided to keep an eye on her. She knew how charming Finn could be and she didn't want Rory to get into trouble because of an Australian who always seemed to find the right words.
„Don't worry, nothing is going to ruin that party!"
„I hope so!" Rory mumbled. God, what did she do? She knew that Steph had seen where exactly her eyes had traveled to and was thankful that the girl didn't mention it.
She really needed a drink right now. A strong drink!
Now it's your turn! Leave a review and make me happy ;-)
