AN: THANKS FOR ALL THOSE WHO REVIEWED. I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO TAKE THIS STORY, SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. KEEP UP THE REVIEWS AND I'LL KEEP UPDATING!
CH 2
Finn and I ended up back in New York at my place. We were ready to drink more after the preview we got in the limo of one another. It's true those hands and fingers are amazing. Not to mention that tongue. He's intoxicating and I don't care. I just want more of Finn. We headed to midtown to Casa Del Rio, a salsa club and we danced all night. It was fun, it was exciting and I had a blast. It's been a while since I had some real fun. Finn was always a blast to hang with, but having his undivided attention was better than I imaged. Yes, in Yale I did wonder what this would be like, but that was before Logan and I became serious. We went back to my placed and christened my apartment three times. The boy is like the energizer bunny, he keeps going and going.
We woke up at 2 in the afternoon and enjoyed a wake up round. Something tells me I won't be throwing him out of my bed anytime soon. We called for some food and just hung out before he needed to go and get dressed for the Hartford party. He was coming to pick me up. Not something I expected but I agreed.
"It's open" I say hitting the buzzer at 5:30. Party starts and 7 sharp. A sexy deep v-neck plunging neckline teal dress by Zac Posen, with jewels adorned straps with matching jeweled criss-cross empire waist, open bare back with extended Jewel criss-cross straps accent the back-line, gathering at the behind to make my butt look amazing. I added silver Manolo Blahniks and chandelier earrings and bangles.
"Wow" Finn says coming in with roses.
"Are those for me Mr. Morgan?" I question smiling at him. Full of surprises this one.
"I didn't know what your favorite was, but every girl loves roses once in a while" he smirks kissing my cheek and handing them to me.
"They're beautiful Finn and its Callie lilies and purple orchids, some may say its sunflowers, but it's not" I smile laying them down to grab the vase from under the cabinet and adding water before adding the roses to it. I place them on my coffee table before facing Finn and he's just looking at me.
"You look breathtaking kitten" he says handing me my shawl and clutch off the side table.
"Such a gentleman" I say and he leans down kissing me gently. I wonder what this night has in store for us.
We enter the Royal Hotel in Hartford, together and it's a pink party. I know Steph loves pink, but it looks like a 5years old birthday instead of a sophisticated society engagement party.
"Love, remind me never to look at pink again" Finn laughs and I smile at him. We spot the couple of the hour and head over.
"Wow" Colin says as we approach. Finn's hand is on my lower back and it's sending chills down my body.
"What" I question playing innocently.
"You came and with Finn, balls Gilmore I give you that" he smirks.
"I was invited and so what if Finn is escorting me" I state smiling at him.
"I have the hottest bloody date here mate, what's wrong with that" Finn inquires of him.
"Nothing, as long as the both of you know what you're doing" he states.
"Colin, leave them be. If Rory and Finn want to be together who are we to stop them? I for one think you look great together" Steph says hugging me. "I love this dress girlie" she adds looking me over.
"It's just a date Steph, we both just didn't feel like being alone tonight" I say.
"Not to mention the bloody fantastic sex" Finn smirks at them and I elbow him.
"No" Colin says shocked.
"Oh yeah mate, I lost bloody count last night" Finn laughs and I slap his arm. Colin just stares at me.
"Finn" I say warning him and Colin laughs.
"Oh, right can't talk about it mate, if I want any later" he states and Steph and I just shake our head. Boys will always be boys.
"Oh crap, I see my grandparents" I states glancing to the side and seeing grandpa taking to a man I don't know.
"With Pop too, what are the chances, come on love" Finn says pulling me towards them. That's Finn's father, I think. He doesn't look anything like what they described.
"Rory, my you look wonderful, we were just talking about you" grandpa says kissing my cheek.
"All good I hope" I smile at the tall man with brunette hair.
"Of course and I see that you already know Finneus" the man says and I look at Finn. I never heard anyone introduce Finn as Finneus. It sounded too odd.
"Pop" he says and I smile as they hug. That's so unlike society children and their family. It's nice to see.
"Finn and I were friends in Yale, but were just recently reunited, Rory Gilmore Hayden" I say extending my hand to the man and Finn looks ready to pass out. That's the normal reaction to the Hayden part. Finn watches with intense eyes as his father shakes my hand.
"Finneus Morgan Sr., you caught a good one here son" the man says. Looking closer I see that they were all right about Finn's dad. Boy does that explain a lot as I'm looking at the purple sparkly tie sticking out of the all black suit. Only a Morgan would do something so out there. I glance at the glittery frogs on Finn's tie and try not to laugh.
"Excuse us" Finn says grabbing my hands and hurrying us to the side hallway out the doors.
"Explain love" Finn says looking around.
"Explain what, your odd behavior for yanking me away from not only my grandfather and grandmother but you father. Not the first impression I wanted to make to the parents Finn" I smirk knowing he meant the Hayden attached to my name.
"Rory" he says more serious. He's so cute when nervous and trying to me serious. I lean up and kiss him gently.
"My father is Christopher Hayden, Finn" I smile at him.
"Hayden as in most influential family not only in Hartford and Connecticut but Boston too? As in Strobe Hayden district attorney of Connecticut, who would have ran for Supreme Court if…" he says running a hand through his sexy hair.
"If I didn't ruin is perfect family portrait. So" I state not seeing the problem here. It's true Strobe would have went Supreme Court if Dad didn't get Mom pregnant at 16. It blew up the perfect family angle he was going for,
"Bloody hell love, does anyone know this. Papa Huntz is going to beat the bloody hell out of mate for losing you and I…" he says but stopping when he spotted something over my shoulder.
"What" I say turning around see Logan standing there with whom I presume is Keira, tall blonde with more plastic than I carry in my wallet. Typical California princess you can just tell. The thing that gets me is the small pregnancy belly she's sporting. Ass is all I'm thinking. Last night he wanted to take me home and he's wife is pregnant. He's no better than Mitchum. I'm glad I said no to him. That could have been me.
"Finn my man; how's the head after last night" he says coming over and shaking his hand.
"No hangover this morning mate" Finn states winking at me.
"Rory" he says smirking and obviously checking me out. His wife is pregnant and he's checking me out. I really want to slap that smirk off his face.
"Logan" I states harshly.
"She's Rory, logie bear. What were you thinking?" Keira says in this high pitched voice. That could cause some serious inner ear damage if you stand too close.
"Is that a problem" I state linking arms with Finn and see Logan face show is discontentment for that. The anger vein starting to show in his neck, as a clear indication that he hates this. I play on that and Finn just looks at me.
"You don't belong here, you should just leave now sweetie. No one wants to see you" she states and I look at Finn not believing the balls this Barbie wannabe has.
"Is she for real?" I question and he just shrugs.
"Finn, why don't you come with us and I'll introduce you to Tabby, she's just what you need. You don't need to me associated with lower class individuals" Keira continues. Logan looks away knowing I'm going to explode and Finn tightens the grip he has on my arm.
"Okay, it's one thing to parade around here like it's your party when it's clearly not, but unlike you, I was invited and wanted here. You're here by extension and that is something you shouldn't be proud of. And lower class individuals, you might want to check the seating cards there honey, because I more high classed and blue blooded over your precious Logie Bear. Or did you never learn to read? That's really a shame. It's nice to see that you married someone exactly like your mother. It's freshening to see that I wasn't wrong when I said no to you. You're exactly what you hate most Logan and that's Mitchum. Enjoy it and I refuse to feel sorry for you. If you excuse us, Finn and I have more important people to associate with" I state looking at my father and Francine Hayden coming in.
"Do I have to love, that's Mrs. Hayden, she bloody terrifying" Finn states almost whining looking at me.
"It's just grandma Finn, plus you have that sexy accent going for you, she'll love you" I smile at him.
"Enjoy the party" I smirk walking away from the open mouth fish face looking couple.
"Dad" I say walking up to them.
"Hey kiddo and man who has his hand someplace a father never wants to see on his baby girl" Dad states since Finn hands slide down to my butt from my lower back as we walked away from Logan. Finn quickly moves his hands and we laugh.
"Relax son, Christopher was only kidding" Francine says.
"Finn Morgan, this is my father Christopher Hayden and his mother Francine" I introduce them and Finn shakes Dad's hand and kisses Francine.
"Society boy, kid haven't we learned our lesson yet?" Dad smirks at me.
"I have higher hopes for this one and he has an accent Dad, mom will love it" I state and we all laugh.
"That's true; Lor will have him tied up in the attic for her own enjoyment. Where is that mother of yours anyways?" Dad questions me.
"Home, feet up and swollen" I state and he nods. He came to terms with Luke and Mom and its made things easier for all of us.
"Swollen love, that's not good" Finn says concerned.
"She's 8 months pregnant Finn" I reply and he nods knowingly. We spent twenty minutes talking to them before we went to our seats at the head table. Finn and I are both in the wedding party and unfortunately Logan was there was his Barbie. Dinner was served and you could feel the tension at the table. We make it through appetizers and I refuse to look at Logan or Malibu Barbie. All I can feel is Finn's hand working its way up my dress. One side completely covered as the other is nearly naked. He smirks when he reaches is objective and see that nice little Gilmore is going commando. No one should have panty lines on a night like this. "Temptress" he whispers and I smirk.
"I do love your dress, it's the most beautiful shade of teal that I ever saw" Keira states sweetly. I think I almost threw up in my chicken dish. Finn grabs on my thigh and I look up.
"Huntz, did you inform Barbie here that I can't be bought with empty compliments. That she already ruined her chance with her improper insults earlier" I state society smile in place since the camera guys are snapping away. It would seem like we're smiling and loving every second of the night.
"When did you decide to become such a bitch Ace" he replies faking it as well. He really needs to learn his place.
"You learn how to protect yourself when you get your heart trampled on and then get it slapped in your face when you learn the truth about the man who supposedly loved you" I state harshly and he looks taken back.
"What is that supposed to mean" he defends himself.
"Did anyone see Josie's dress, dreadful" Rosemary says loudly down the table interrupting the brawl that was about to happen between Logan and I. It was the girls who told me the truth about London and Bobbi. I should have known that once a cheater always a cheating bastard, lying straight to my face and everything.
"That girl couldn't find a normal designer dress if she had one handed to her" Steph says looking at me in this, please not here look.
"She would need to learn how to read the label first Steph, some people aren't as fortunate to have the luxury of a proper education as ourselves" I smile and nod that I won't start. It's her night, I won't ruin it. That was also a slam against Barbie too.
"Dance love" Finn states standing up after the main courses are taken away and it's obvious to everyone that they don't want to deal with Logan and me fighting tonight. Taking one more good look at Logan, I turn to Finn.
"With you, of course" I state smiling brightly and taking his hand. He leads me out to the other couples dancing on the floor. We smile as the photograph comes closer and Finn pulls me into his chest.
"Love" he says warning me after displaying a twirl and a dip to the room. I can feel Logan's eyes on us.
"I know Finn; I shouldn't say anything but you don't honestly expect me to sit there and take his or Barbie's crap, do you?" I questions and he shakes his head.
"Of course not, that's why when you feel like you need to get out of here, you just say the word and we'll leave" he says caressing my face. To anyone watching it would look like a couple dancing who loves each other. Looking into his green eyes, I can see that I want to get to know this real Finn, the man that I spent all night with and this morning too. The one under all this society crap, but if I'm not careful, I will lose my heart again.
"That's it" we hear Logan yell and we turn to see him coming towards us. He grabs my shoulder moving me away from Finn toughly and punches Finn directly in the face.
"Oh my god" I yell seeing Finn on the floor with blood on his face. The whole room is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I think he broke Finn's nose.
"What the hell is your problem? I say pushing Logan out of the way to tend to Finn. "Are you okay" I question feeling horrible and he nods. I hate Logan for this. I hate that he would do this here of all places.
"Oh he doesn't deserve you sympathy Ace" Logan laughs "He knew exactly what he was doing coming here with you. Do you feel invisible now Morgan? You finally got Ace to yourself" he states.
"What the hell is your damn problem? You're married with a baby on the way. Why the hell should you care who I'm with? I deserve to be happy too Logan, not just you. You're a hypocrite and I can't stand believe you would do this" I yell as Colin and Seth come closer.
"Outside all of you now" Colin demands and helping Finn up. I storm out to the main lobby ahead of everyone.
"Colin, I…" I start.
"No, Rory this isn't about you. You did nothing wrong" he says hugging me. "This is about my best friend for 15 years acting like an ass at my engagement party" he seethes at Logan.
"Me, he brought her. He knew it would piss me off but he did it anyways. Be pissed off at him not me" Logan defends himself.
"You're married Logan, Rory's right. She deserves to be happy too and so does Finn and if it's together then so be it. Would you rather her with someone that could hurt her? Someone that we can't stand and will only make us worry about her more than we have this past year. At least with Finn, we'll know that she's taken care of" Colin yells. What does that mean? Were they really worried about me?
"This is rich" Logan laughs. "You think I want to married to Keira, no, I didn't; I want to be married to you Ace. I loved you. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. It was forced on me. I don't want this life. But I can't control it anymore. I had to do what was right. What was expected of me" Logan says coming closer and I step back.
"It's the same story with you, Logan. It's forced on me. I don't want it but I have no choice. It's pathetic really. You left and went to California. I was so damn proud of you. Probably more than I should have been. You did change your destiny, so don't stand there and blame me because you chose to end up mixed back up with it. Plus just because it was forced on you it didn't stop you from creating another child with another woman did it" I yell and they all look at me. Damn it, they were supposed to never know that. I know my face shows the shock at what I said. It's so silent they are just staring at me.
"What" Logan says confused looking at me and see Finn and Colin both staring at me. Damn, damn, double damn.
"Fine, you know what I'm tired of hiding it…pretending I'm okay with it" I yell and they look stunned and don't say anything so I continue. "I was pregnant at graduation and never knew until it was too late. I arrived in Iowa for the campaign tour with Obama and spent the first five days of my new job in a hospital bed clinging to my life. I had a miscarriage that I almost died from. So don't stand there and tell me that you didn't have a chose when you got Keira pregnant because you will never understand what it feels like to lose a child. A child you never thought you wanted but miss everyday" I yell storming away outside with tears running down my face. I don't care anymore. There…the truth is out. In a odd way, I feel freer than I did in the last year.
