Ch 7
"It's so warm and beautiful" I state as we step out of the limo at the house. I'm in awe. The house on the cliffs above the beach and it's gorgeous.
"I did warn you love" he smirks pulling me close.
"First thing, shopping" I state taking off my sweater and he looks at me.
"I was thinking more of indoor activities that involved no clothes at all" he smirks kissing my neck and I giggle.
"You're entire family is inside and you're still thinking about sex" I state and he looks at me.
"Love, this is my place. There's no one here but us. My grandparents live down off the cliff directly on the beach. My parents are ten minutes away" he says unlocking the door and I look at him.
"You own this" I question. My boyfriend, the real estate owner, that's a shock. I'm not even the owner of my apartment. The first thing I bought was my car.
"Bought it 8 months ago, I wanted a place of my own when I came here. I'm a tad too old to stay with Pop and Mama" he says scooping me up bridal style and carrying me into the now open door.
"Well in that case, take me Mr. Morgan" I smirk and he lays me down on the soft white carpet of the front room and begins ripping my shirt back off. We already did this in the sky twice. It was a long flight and we got bored. No better time consuming activity than sex.
"I'm bloody infatuated with you kitten" he says kissing down my chest and on my stomach. "So am I Finn" I say softly as he undoes my pants.
"You're body is like a goddess" he says kissing my thighs as he pulls my jeans off.
"No it's not" I say.
"It is to me" he says looking up and I bite my lip. That's the best comment a guy can tell you.
"You're pretty godlike yourself Finn" I state flipping us over and ripping his shirt off and tossing it across the room.
"I guess we're made for one another than kitten" he says holding my hands away from his pants.
"Guess so" I state before he kisses me passionately and pushes me gently back on the carpet again.
Finn/Rory…Finn/Rory…Finn/Rory
"Mama" Finn yells walking into the huge mansion. He has a tight grip on my hand and I love it.
"Oh my boy" I elderly woman in her late 70's comes out and greets us in a kitchen apron that reads If it's not Australian it's not worth it.
"Nana" Finn says letting go and hugging her, I'm a little shocked, but it's nice to see them so normal.
"And who is this" she questions looking me over.
"Nana, this is Rory my girlfriend. Rory my grandma Antalya Morgan or Nana" Finn says smiling at me.
"Girlfriend, you sure know how to pick them, don't you son?" Nana says reaching out for my hand. "Not society is she, does your father know" Nana says looking at my hands.
"I know and approve Mama, Rory is Christopher's daughter" I hear Finn Sr. state coming into the living room. The pink board shorts and white button down shirt with flip flops, took me for surprised and Finn smirks at me.
"I wanted pink, but Mama insisted on the white" Finn Sr. has kissing my cheek.
"I think it takes a real man to wear pink" I reply without thinking and the room erupts in laughter.
"See Mama, I told you I was a real man" Finn Sr. says.
"Hush you and go outside, I want to talk to Rory. The bum of a husband of Cassie's is trying to use the Barbie again and god help us of he blows another" Nana says ushering the boys through the kitchen and onto the porch.
"You're a Hayden" Nana says indicting that I should sit across from her at the island.
"Yes, and a Gilmore" I state.
"Interesting that you're with Finn" she says placing homemade cookies in front of me.
"Not really, Mom raised me outside Hartford and the Haydens wanted nothing to do with either of us. It was only recently that my grandmother Francine and I have a relationship and that's partly because of my younger half sister Gigi. I think she feels guilty. And Finn is great. We know each other from Yale and he was a close friend of mine. He reminds me of all the people I grew up with in Stars Hollow" I state and she smiles.
"You're so like Ella" she says and I look at her. "Ella is Finn's mother. You will meet her later. Has he told you anything" she questions and I shake my head no.
"Oh dear, here take a cookie dear, we'll be here for a while" she says pushing the plate to me.
"Hey love" Finn says walking into the kitchen an hour later when Nana went to yell at Finn Sr.
"Hey Finny" I say smiling as I stir the raspberries at the bottom of my glass with my straw.
"How many did you have love" he says taking the glass.
"Three or four" I giggle, I really like these.
"Nana" he yells and she looks inside.
"Had to see if she could handle herself, she's lovely" Nana states before yelling at her son again.
"She didn't warn you, did she" he questions me.
"She warned me about mixing more than 6 Morgans in a room at one time" I laugh. "Bloody hell, you're drunk and that's so true" he states.
"It's just ice tea Finn" I state.
"Just ice tea, Nana's ice tea is worse than those long island ones you and the girls have kitten, come on you need air" he says helping me off the stool and I stumble.
"But how, they were so sweet and tasty and boy are you cute. Do you know that you're cute? I think I like you" I state as he guide me outside and down the patio steps to the beach.
"Thanks love I'm kind of taken by you too and she was testing you" he states and I stop walk which almost caused him to bang into me.
"Test me, whatever for, oh did I pass? I wouldn't want her to fail me. Did she like me? Maybe I should tell her about the rhinestone penis shirt mom almost wore to Friday night dinner?" I say trying to be serious and he laughs.
"You passed Rory, don't worry. Nana loves you. Not to mention you're the first to finish not one glass but three glasses. And for the story, save it for later, Mama would love it" he says.
"Finn, why didn't you tell me about your mother" I state as we walk down the beach a little. We walked around and Finn kept catching me from falling. We discarded our shoes by the house and I love how the sand feels between my toes. It's so peaceful, paradise that nothing can ruin.
"No one knows love, not even the mates. It's just too hard" he says looking into the water.
"Talk to me, Finn. It's part of being in a relationship. Let me help you" I say and he stops walking and turns me to him.
"She's dying and I don't know how to deal with that. Sometimes I want to bury myself under work, others it's in a bottle of Jack. But lately, being with you seems to help with the pain. It's a big reason why I wanted you to come. I want her to meet you. She's always so worried about me, that I will never settle down and fall in love. I just hope that she sees you like I do" he says and I step closer.
"Settling down is a long way off Finn, but as of right now, it can be in cards if we do this right. Just don't shut me out" I says caressing his cheek and he leans down kissing me sweetly. I want to be there. I want to help him. I never lost someone close to me, but I can figure it out. He needs me and I want that.
We wonder the beach for another hour before heading back. We walk inside the house and I see other people there. "Mama's upstairs, she's not feeling well. She's always tired Finn" A girl about my age says and I see Finn look up towards the steps.
"Rory, this is my younger sister Eve; Eve this is Rory" Finn says introducing us.
"Oh, Nana has done nothing but talked our ears off about you for the last hour" she says hugging me. "We're a very huggie family sorry" Eve apologizes.
"Its fine, it's nice for once" I say looking at Finn.
"Come on" he says pulling me away and we head up the steps. "Mama" he says softly knocking on the door to one of the rooms.
"I'm not sleeping boy, and where is this girl Nana has told me about?" A booming voice says from inside and Finn cracks up laughing.
"Tired my ass" he state pushing the door open to reveal his father sitting on the balcony with a woman. She is wrapped in a blanket with short brunette hair pushed behind her ears.
"Boy, you're not too old to get that mouth washed out" she scold him and I laugh.
"And you must be Rory, Finn has told me how much you look like your mother. Beauty that Lorelai and quite spunky as I recall" she says holding a hand out to us.
"She still is" I say looking at Finn. He nods and I walk over. Finn Sr. gets up and I sit down.
"Finneus, she's beautiful and those eyes are like the ocean" she says and I look at Finn.
"I know Mama, I see Australian waters whenever I look at them" he replies. I almost cry. He's so sweet and telling his mother that I'm beautiful is something else all together.
"Leave us, I want to talk to Rory alone" his mother says.
"Behave" Finn says kissing his mother's cheek and then my temple.
"Dinner is soon, I'll be back" he whispers and I nod.
"You love him don't you" she says as soon as the door closes. I'm a little taken back by the bluntness, but she's Finn's mother.
"It's a bit early" I state honestly.
"Really, the way he looks at you. The way you look at him sweetheart, you're in love" she says and I blush before looking out at the waves. "So you are" she smiles.
"We have only dated a few short weeks, how can that be" I question her. It took me months to fall for Logan.
"You have a clouded heart that makes you see what you want. You have been hurt and refuse to let it happen again" she says.
"Do you think Finn…" I say nervous. Can this really be love forming between us already?
"My son is getting there yes. I never saw him like this. His mine baby boy and I know him more than he thinks. He does love you Rory, whether he's ready to admit it or not. If he didn't, why are you then" she questions me.
"I needed to get away from the states, and he refused to let me go alone" I say.
"You're here to see a side of him that many don't my dear. You're here to gain approval. Finn needs his family to love you so that he can fully love you. It was the same for Finn Sr. I was brought here to meet Lya when Finn and I were at the point of becoming serious. I fell in love not only with him and his family, but Australia too. Australia is a part of who they are and it's something that will never fade. We were young and carefree at the time. It wasn't soon after we left here that I found myself pregnant with Cassidy" she says and I look at her. Not many society couples admit pregnant before marriage.
"We were married on the cliffs, right over there. I came back to stay with Lya after my fifth month and had Cassidy here. We were married a month later. I love that man. All his crazy antics and chose wardrobe and all" she smiles and I nod. Finn does dress oddly at time.
"I know what you mean" I say and she laughs.
"Finn does take after his father in that respect. Just promise me something dear" she says turning serious.
"Anything" I find myself saying.
"Love him like he deserves. Let him love you unconditionally. There will be a time soon that he will pull away from you, let him because I know my son and he'll come back. He sometimes needs space like you do. It will be harder on him then anyone when I'm gone and I need to know that he has something that loves him besides him. That will make this easier on me" she says and I let the tears fall gently.
"I love him. I think I see that now. I tried to not let myself fall this quickly. I don't want to lose my heart and get it trampled on again" I say wiping a tear away.
"But if he gives you his in return, you're not losing but gaining" she says as a knock comes at the door.
"Nana says stop all your gossiping and get those cute behinds downstairs" Finn laughs walking in and I stand up walking to the railing to compose myself.
"I thought I told you to behave mother" he says wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I did" she says and I can hear her footsteps leaving the room.
"Kitten, are you okay" he questions kissing my shoulder and I lean back into his embrace.
"Never let me go, okay" I say and he looks at me.
"Not planning on it, love" he says leaning down kissing me softly.
Okay, i'm dying to know what you thought!
