AN: Thanks for all that reviewed, i was have writer block and needed some muse. Let's see how you like this chapter. Review and let me know!
Ch 13
"Finn no" I say for the eighteenth time to day.
"But love" he whines.
"No, no absolutely no" I state stomping my foot.
Come on kitten, please" he says begging me as I walk away from him.
"I already said not Finneus, stop bugging me" I tell him walking into the home office to try to get work done.
"But you said that you love me, why the bloody hell can't we go" he states sitting across from me at my desk.
"Because" is all I say looking over some proofs.
"Rory, that's not a reason" he counters.
"Because I say so, you go and have fun, I'm staying put here in New York" I state throwing out the ones I hate.
"Now how am I bloody supposed to do that love" he questions walking closer.
"The same way you always, by being the Finn we all know and love" I state smirking at him and he laughs.
"But what if I want to be the Finn that only you see, I want people to see that I'm not the same crazy Aussie that they remember. That I'm in love with you and want everyone to see it" he says turning my chair to face him.
"But you are Finn" I say playing with his hair.
"I can only do that with you there love, not to mention everyone is dying to see you" he says regarding my comment and rubbing my knees slightly.
"Finn, it's not that I don't want to be there with you, I would love it, but I just can't" I say trying to get up and he pushes me gently back into the chair.
"I think you're scared" he says kneeling down in front of me.
"Why would I be scared Finn, I've known them for years" I state as he caresses my bare thighs since I'm in one of his dress shirts.
"That was before love. You were Logan's girl and everyone accepted you. But we're engaged to be married in a few months and you're afraid they will judge you. Judge that you turned down Huntzberger for what I consider a better, sexier, more exotic model" he says kissing my thighs as his hands disappear up the shirt to my waist.
"I love you and I don't give a damn what they think" I smirk as I can feel his fingers tease my nibbles.
"Then come with me, love" he says undoing the buttons to the shirt.
"Finn" I warn him and he begins trailing kisses from under my chin to my belly button.
"Rory" he says in the same tone before sucking on my nibbles and I moan. Damn him. "I want you there kitten" he says and I look down at him.
"How much" I challenging him and he looks at me. He lifts me up and sits me on the desk before pushing everything off it. I tug at his pants and they go to the floor. All that is the room in the lust for the other and I need him. It's feels amazing as he pushes every orgasm rushing to explode. It's like him telling me without words that he needs me and wants be by his side no matter what.
"Fine, I'll go, but I'm warning you…no silly costumes Finn" I state lying on the floor of the office wrapped in the blanket from the couch after he used his manly ways to get me to agree.
"No silly costumes love, I promise" he says kissing my temple and getting up completely naked without a care in the world.
"Where are you going?" I yell sitting up.
"Gotta call mate and tell him it's the two of us" he states walking out of the office smirking.
______________________________________________________
"I'm going to kill him" I state as Steph helps me into my costume or slip of material that my boyfriend chose. I'm regretting this already.
"But you love him" Steph laughs.
"I don't care, the man is not making it to the wedding, or yours for that matter. He will die for making me wear this" I state looking down at the white and gold Aphrodite costume I have on. The front is a deep v halter almost to my belly button with gold trim. The back isn't much different except it's all open back barely hitting the top of my butt, with two high slits in the sides. Gold sandals that lace up my calves and a snake like bracelet up my arm, completes the look. My hair is in tight curls in an up do with a gold ribbon threaded into it. It looks amazing, but I'm still going to kill him.
"But you look hot and sexy" Rosemary laughs after applying extra long lashes to my eyes.
"Who's bright idea was it to have a Grecian style party at the end of February in Connecticut" I question and they half.
"The boys of course just be lucky I persuaded Colin out of having it outside" Steph says.
"So everyone is going to be here" I ponder.
"All Life and Death Brigadiers from Yale that we graduated with, the boys just needed an excuse to party" Steph says.
"Not to mention, the big announcement" Rosemary says lifting my left hand and I smile. "I still can't believe you're marrying Finn" she adds.
"Sometimes neither can I; but it's what I want" I state and they nod.
"You two make each other so happy. You can see it in the way you look at one another. It's so pure and unconditional" Steph says and I look at her.
"Some one's a little emotional" I laugh.
"Colin and I have been fighting so much, that I miss the fun. It's all this wedding planning. It's driving us apart and I hate it" she almost cries and I hug her.
"Take tonight to remind him and yourself why you love the other and why all that craziness is worth it" I say and she looks at me.
"You'll see; you'll be fighting in no time, but thanks" she says as a knock comes at the door.
"Ladies are we ready" Colin says walking in with Finn who's smirking at me.
"I hate you" I say waving my finger at Finn.
"You look incredible love, just like I pictured" he says coming closer.
"No, no sweet talking is getting you out of dressing me up as a stripper" I state and he laughs.
"Greek Goddess" he corrects me.
"Whatever" I say as he pulls me into his chest, placing his hands on my hips.
"Do you remember when we were in Australia and I told you your body was like a goddess" he says softly kissing my neck and I giggle.
"I want everyone to know that you're mine" he says nibbling just under my ear and giggle more.
"Man, let her go or we'll never get down there in time" Colin says pulling Finn off me.
"Right you are mate, come on Aphrodite" he says linking my arm with his and walking out.
Hours later, Finn is reenacting some play about the gods and I'm just watching from the bar. We both had drunk our share tonight. "You look incredible" Logan says coming to stand next to be dressed as Poseidon.
"And you're drunk" I state.
"So are you Ace" he says caressing my arm and I look at him. He disappeared into one of the many Grecian love bedrooms hours ago after the engagement announcement with a senior from Yale.
"Logan, stop" I say trying to move my arm, but he grabs it.
"Do you remember the night before I left for London, the way I made love to you like you were the only woman I wanted for the rest of my life" he says pulling me roughly to him wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Logan" I say.
"Answer me" he says hoarsely.
"Of course I do" I say looking into his eyes.
"The way we made each other know just how much we love each other, that no matter what happened, we will always be together" he say almost swinging us, like dancing.
"We were in love Logan" I say smiling at him.
"Then what changed, because every time I see you, every time I think of you, I feel that. I feel how you make me feel with one smile. One look that only I know the meaning of" he says softly and I nod. "Those months away from you were the hardest of my life Rory" he says and I nod.
"It wasn't a picnic here without Logan, god I missed you so much" I say honestly.
"Then I surprised you" he says touching my cheek softly like he used to and I smile.
"May fly or fruit fly Huntzberger" I laugh and don't realize that he backed us into a corner until I felt my back hit it.
"If you're a fruit fly, I'm a fruit fly Ace" he says and I smile.
"That was a long time ago" I say still looking at him.
"I want to go back to that night on the roof, where nothing mattered but us Ace. That it was you and me against the world" he says and I look down.
"We can't" I say hating him for making this hurt again.
"We can, all you have to do is want it" he says cupping my face.
"No, it's been too long" I tell him and he shakes his head.
"No, all you have to do is believe we can, and we can" he says leaning down and kissing me. I don't know if it's the alcohol in my system or him making me relive the memories but I find myself responding to the kiss. But it end quickly with him getting ripped away from him.
"Mate, I told you to stay the bloody hell away from her. You used the bloody alcohol to play with her head didn't you" Finn yells at him.
"Tell him Ace, tell him that you're confused and don't want to marry him. Tell him that there are still feelings for me there. Hell it's not even two years yet. Tell him" Logan says getting out of Colin's grasps and kneeling next to where I slide down the wall to the floor.
"Logan, I think it's time for you to start sobering up" Colin says and I cry. I knew this was a bad idea. Colin pulls Logan away and Fin knees down
"Maybe you were right, this was a bad idea. Let's get you upstairs and sleep it off" he says lifting me bridal style and carrying me out of the room.
It was hours later that I wondered back downstairs in my sweats to find Colin sitting at the bar.
"Hey" I say sitting next to him.
"What are you doing up?" he questions surprised to see me.
"Couldn't sleep" I say ordering a martini and he orders another scotch.
"I couldn't if I were you too" he states.
"You're lucky to have Steph, you two love each other" I say and he looks at me.
"Can I tell you something" he says and I nod. "It was because of you and Logan, that I told Steph how I felt" he says and I'm surprised. "The love the two of you had was like nothing we ever saw. The way you loved him unconditionally, we weren't used to it" he continues and I just listen to him. "I wanted that, I envied Logan for having someone like you. Someone that would always be there, someone that would be there, when you come home room from a rough day, someone that would lay with you and just be. Your relationship is something we all wanted" he adds.
"But you fought it every step of the way. Teased him for it and that hurt us" I tell him.
"Logan being the first one to fall in love, to be the first one to commit to someone was a reality shock to us all. It meant that we would have to also. That if he could take that leap, any of us could. But then when you turned him down, it broke all of us. If the two of you couldn't make it, what hope was there for us" he says and I close my eyes.
"Do you still have feeling for him?" he says and I look up at him.
"What that's crazy, I'm with Finn" I state showing him my beautiful ring. He grabs my hand and places it on the bar.
"Rory, just because you're with someone doesn't mean that your heart isn't in another place. You can love one person because they seem to be everything you need, but when it comes down to it. There is only one person that can make you feel alive and that's the person that you should be with. The thrill of being with the person, the anticipation of what is to come next, the one person that will keep you on your toes everyday" he says looking at me.
"I need to go" I say getting up and kissing his cheek.
"Hey Colin" I say looking back at him and he turns to look at me.
"You need to talk to Steph, she needs to know that you still love her, the girl is crazy with emotions" I smile and he laughs.
"She's pregnant Gilmore, see I can beat Logan at something" he says and I'm shocked.
