CHAPTER 5: Living the High Life

Ring!

Ring!

"Hello," Rory mumbled into the evil cell phone that had just woken her up.

"Morning, Love," came a cheery reply.

"Morning? It can't possibly be morning. It Saturday, Finn. And you know that I would KILL you if you called before 12 on a Saturday. So then, logically, it must be sometime in the afternoon," She rambled.

"Sorry, Darling, but it does happen to be morning. It should be 10 o'clock where you are."

Over the last two months since that fateful day outside the coffee shop, there had been many of these random phone conversations between Rory and Finn. After the day of "the kiss" (as Lorelai chose to call it) Finn had flown back to LA to do more promotion for his movie. They had actually kept in touch quite frequently and had formed a good "relationship" (again Lorelai's words not Rory's). BUT… they hadn't actually SEEN each other since the day of "the kiss".

"You really don't value your life much do you?" Rory asked sardonically as she finally opened her eyes to look at her bedside alarm clock, (which did in fact read 10:00am).

"What if I were to tell you that there was a very good reason for my waking you up at 10am?"

"Finn, there ISN'T a good reason to wake me up at 10 on a Saturday morning. A reason like that DOES NOT exist."

"O ye of little faith. You're not even interested in my offer?"

"Nope. Can I go back to bed now…?"

"Not unless you want to miss tonight."

"Finn what are you talking about… speak English please… It's early, very early. And I don't have time for this… I should be getting at least another 15 winks as it is."

"You know you're quite funny when your sleep deprived." He replied with a chuckle.

"FINN!"

"What fun would it be telling you my secret plans for tonight… but if I were you I'd get out of bed… riiiight now."

Just as he said this the buzzer downstairs rang…

"What are you omniscient now?" She replied as she dragged herself out of bed to answer the buzzer.

"Delivery for… uhhh… Rory Gilmore?" Came the voice over the speaker.

"Yes come up…"She replied and then turned back to her phone conversation with Finn. "So really what's this all about?"

"I told you, Love, I simply can't ruin the surprise… just be ready to go by 6:30 pm sharp."

"You do realize that you and I don't actually happen to be in the same state at the moment… let alone on the same coast…"

"Humor me…"

"Fine…" She replied with a yon. "What would I be wearing to this little soiree?"

"You clothes, as you will soon see, have already been taken care of…See you at 6:30, Love." And with that he closed his phone with a childish grin.

"Oh, could I have some more peanuts, miss?" Finn politely asked the flight attendant…

Back in New York Rory stared dumbly at the phone for a few moments after Finn hung up… What is he up to now? She wondered. Moments later there was a knock at her door. When she answered it, a delivery man was standing before her with a large box.

"You Miss Gilmore?"

"Uhhh… Yea that's me." Rory replied.

"Sign here." He replied after handing her the large package and then left a moment later.

When Rory had slightly recovered from her shock over the whole situation, she brought the package into her apartment, sat down on her couch and opened it. Inside there was a beautiful Vera Wang dress that just happened to be her size. It was white and looked completely stunning. Also in the box were matching shoes and a small crystal encrusted hand bag.

"What have I gotten myself into?" She asked out loud as she buried her head in a couch cushion…

XXXXXXXXXX

Rory looked at her watch again. Any minute now, Finn, she thought. She was waiting downstairs in the lobby of her apartment, waiting for Finn Morgan to show up at 6:30. You'd think that someone who told her to be ready right on the dot would be early, but no. He wasn't. She was just looking at her watch again, as a limo pulled up outside.

Finn stepped out of the back of the limo, and Rory just gave an expectant look. The suspense was killing her, and she hated when he got cryptic. But Finn had other plans. He took one look at her, and his jaw almost dropped. Rory looked gorgeous. The white dress his stylist (his little secret) had picked out was stunning. It clung to all the right curves and gave her the semblance of an angel. Finn wanted to say something witty, but for some reason he found that his motor functions were on the fritz. All he could think about at the moment was how beautiful she looked in that dress.

"You know for someone who was almost anal retentive about the fact that I be on time, I find it slightly ironic that YOU, my friend, show up late." Rory replied.

When Finn didn't reply after a moment, standing stunned in silence, Rory continued. "You know this is traditionally the part of the evening where the guy actually says some fake flattery to the girl, so that she'll think he's sweet and actually consider letting him get some action later on…"

Yet even after this not-so-sublet innuendo Finn still stood stoically. "Finn, please say something. You're starting to really freak me out here."

"You look beautiful." He said in a whisper, slightly recovering from his shock.

"Thanks… I think." Rory replied quizzically.

"Sorry," Finn replied trying to cover up his momentary lapse. "You really do look stunning my darling."

"Why thank you… now where are we off to?"

"Nice try, Love, but I wasn't that struck by your beauty that I would reveal my jealously guarded secret for the night." He replied with another sidelong glance as he helped her into the limo. (She really did look stunning in that dress)

"Well you can't blame a girl for trying," she replied with a laugh.

"Where is your sense of adventure, my dear?"

"I believe I left it right next to my sanity when I agreed to go on this little excursion."

"Ahhh… well we are just going to have to lend you some of mine… you know I have it in spades."

"Yes, I know… It's one of your less attractive qualities."

"You love it, admit it."

"Nope"

"You do"

"No, your mistaken… lost in your own delusions again."

"You do. You do. You do. You do." Finn replied childishly before they both broke out laughing.

XXXXXXXX

"So where are we going again?" Rory asked.

"I thought it was obvious by now. I'm kidnapping you, my dear," Finn replied with a devilish grin.

"You're cute Finn, but not that cute," she replied with a mock angry glare. "But honestly, we've been driving around for at least 45 minutes… and while I love being stuck in the back of a limo, sipping Champaign, pretending to live the 'high life' with you, I'm sort of beginning to wonder where exactly these mysterious plans of yours are going to lead…"

"Haven't you ever heard that patience, My Dear, is a virtue?"

"You honestly think that cliché's going to get me off your back?"

"It was worth a try," he replied with a shrug. "Besides if you're really bored, I'm sure I can find something for us to do."

"And ruin my perfect slightly-messy-but-still-classic-looking hair?" She replied with fake astonishment, (which sent them both into fits of laughter again.)

"Can't I just have little itty bitty hint? Please?" She replied with a pout.

"You know it's so hard to resist you when you give me that face." He replied as he leaned closer to her. "It's like I'm forced to do anything you want."

"I know. It's a gift… is it working?" She replied with an impish smile.

"Nope" He replied as he moved in to kiss her.

"You do know that wasn't what I wanted you to do right?" She said, breaking the kiss after a moment.

"It was subconsciously," He replied with a grin. "Besides the suspense is finally over… we are here…"
