Chapter 4 Confessions

September 18, 2011

They pulled away from the line of horses and slowly took the hour-long tour of Central Park. As the horse drawn carriage took them on their tour, Rory cuddled in Finn's arms and thought about the car ride from Hartford.

When they had gotten into the town car Rory sat beside Finn. He put his arms around her and kissed her. "Kitten you smell so delicious." He snuggled his nose into her hair and neck and proceeded to kiss her neck slowly and behind her ear.

She felt a warmth go down her body and center between her legs.

Searching for his mouth she kissed him deeply. She had not planned on her first date with him to be making out in the back of his town car. She had to do something before she let her guard down and he took her here in the back seat of his town car. She felt a strong desire for him, but she was not going to be like all the other girls he would bed and toss away. She could not handle that rejection again.

"Finn, can I have something to drink?" She put her hands on his chest and gently pushed him back.

Smiling he said, "Sure Love. I have wine, little bottles of liquor, coke, sprite, and water." Then he teased, "Sorry Love no coffee."

"Water will be fine," she answered and smiled at him when he said he had no coffee.

Finn's phone rang just as Rory opened the bottle of water and took a sip, she almost spits it out when she heard him say, "Hello Logan."

"Yeah Mate, no I told you I couldn't get away next weekend. No, no don't change your plans to fly into Hartford or New York City, go ahead and go to Vegas. We can get together another time. I am going to be very busy with work. Yeah, yeah, I know I will miss the poker night, but I am sure there will be others. Isn't Robert able to make it either? Well, listen, Mate, even if you came to the east coast I won't be able to go out with you." Finn looked over at her and smiled grabbing her hand with his left hand. Rory continued to listen to Finn's side of the conversation.

"You're engaged? Who is she? Huh. She is Mitchum and Shira approved. How do you feel about her? Well I know there will never be another one like Rory, she is one in a million."

When Finn said this, he looked into Rory's eyes and lifted her hand to his lips and gently kissed her knuckles.

"Well Mate, you have to move on. No, no as far as I know Steph hasn't heard from Rory at all either. Your sister thinks she saw her in Hartford at the club last summer?"

He looked at her and she shrugged her shoulders. "No, no I haven't. Yeah Mate, I know. Logan, it's been four years she could be anywhere and with anyone. Yale reunion? When is it? October? No, I don't think so. I must wait and see what my schedule is on my calendar. As I said, I am on my way into the city, we just opened a new hotel, so we have events planned all week. Yeah, yeah. Ok, I will talk to you later. Listen I've got to go, G'day."

Finn ended the call and put his phone between them on the seat. He then ran his hand through his hair.

"Do you hear from Logan often?" she asked him quietly.

"At least once a week, he wanted to get together next week, and I told him I was busy."

"Oh, ok. So, Logan was asking about me?"

"Yes,"

"But you told him that you don't know where I am. What happened to your Bro code?"
