Chapter 16                    First Time Apart

October 4, 2011

Tuesday morning came, and Finn and Rory found themselves awake at 5:45 am holding each other, and not wanting to get up to get ready for work. Finn had to leave at nine a.m. to catch the Morgan Corporate plane to fly with his brother and father to California. They were to return on Saturday. He did not want to be away from her especially since Logan had made his surprise visit on Sunday. Rory still had not responded to his first email and she was hoping that it would have been his last.

"Rory I want you to promise to call me every night."

"I will, and you call me too," she answered back. He had his right arm around her and she had her head on his neck, his head was resting on top of hers and his left hand was holding hers. Neither had slept well, anticipating their separation.

"So what is your schedule?" she asked him.

"We arrive in LA and the driver will take us to The Morgan West in Long Beach. Then on Thursday, the driver will bring us to Laguna Beach to our newest Resort the Morgan at Dana Point, Friday morning we then go to Bell Canyon where Angus found an older hotel that he wants to knock down and build a newer one that has views of the Canyon. The next morning we will head back to LA to board our plane and be back on Saturday."

"You will be very busy," she whispered in his ear as she kissed his neck and continued down his chest. She placed kisses on his abdomen and laid her head on his stomach as she stroked his thighs and groin. Their legs were interlocked with each other and he quickly flipped her over on her back, so he was hovering on top of her.

"Rory you are going to be the death of me. You are insatiable." He entered her in one thrust.

"I need to remember how you feel, I will be without you for the next three nights." He looked into her beautiful blue eyes. Their eyes locked as he quickly picked up his speed, his hips rocking in and out. She groaned and grabbed his buttocks to push him further. She raised her legs and wrapped them around his waist and turning her head she began to nibble the inside of his forearm. He felt the tingling and increased his speed, her muscles clenched and the two gave into their heat and desire. He gently lowered his weight on his forearms not wanting to become unjoined. She brought her legs down and pulled him close. He kissed her face, eyelids, nose, and neck. They slowly rolled apart. He looked at the clock and saw it was now six thirty. Giving her a kiss on the side her head he whispered, "Let's continue this in the shower."

She started to laugh and said, "Whose insatiable now?"

Thirty minutes later they were out of the shower and getting ready. He was in her bedroom packing his overnight bag. He was going to head to his apartment at the hotel after she left for work to finish packing and meet his father and brother. She had pulled her hair back in a low bun and put on a blue wrap dress. He went into her kitchen and prepared her a light breakfast and a tall mug of coffee. She came out with her laptop and tote with her school papers in it. He pulled her to him and kissed her.

"We can do this, only three days." He told her

" It's just that, Finn, I am finally happy, and I don't want it to stop. I'm afraid when you leave you won't want to come back."

"Rory, nothing will stop us from being together. When I return from my business trip, we will sort it out and announce our relationship to everyone. We won't keep it a secret to your grandparents or Logan," Finn told her.

Kissing him one last time, she grabbed her things and headed out the door.

"One last pash ,Luv, in the driveway so that everyone can see that you have a man you are crazy about."

Smiling at him she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss.

The day went uneventful, that evening as she was waiting to hear from Finn, her phone rang. It was Olivia.

"Rory, I am so upset we weren't able to sit and catch up on Sunday. I was wondering if you were busy on Friday? Robert has gone to LA and I thought maybe you could come up to the city and we can go out."

"Olivia I would love that, I can take the train in and meet you. Where do you live?"

Olivia had given her address, she was living on 11th St. in New York in a studio.

"I can get an Uber from the train station. I will check the train schedule and then let you know what time."

"Rory, why don't you plan on spending the night, and we can go out and go dancing and meet Lucy."

"Is Lucy in New York too?"

"Yes she is an actress, model, she does a lot of commercials and voice-overs, plus she is selling real estate for the Vanderbilt agency."

"I can't wait. This sounds like fun and it will be so great to see you again."

Rory hung up and started to make herself some dinner.

Her phone rang again and this time it was Mia.

"Hi, have you heard from the boys yet?" she asked,

"No not yet, have you?"

"No, so what are you going to do this weekend."

"I just got a call from an old college girlfriend, Olivia Marquant, she is dating Robert and she lives in the city. She invited me to come. Do you want to join me? I was thinking of taking the train in."

"That sounds like fun, but you know we can take the car, and we can stay in my apartment when we get there, it will be overnight. We can even go to the OMNIA and dance."

"Mia that would be great. I can't wait to call Olivia back. You will enjoy her. She and Lucy are so much fun."

Rory called Olivia back and told her that she would be bringing Finn's sister in law if that was ok, Olivia thought that would be fun. She would see if she could take a personal half day on Friday and then they could go in earlier and see the city.

Finn called later that evening. It was 6:30 their time and they were getting ready for dinner and it was 9:30 her time. She was lying in bed reading a book when he called.

"Hi my exotic one," she teased.

"Hello yourself, Babe. Do you miss me?"

"Of course I do."

"What are you doing?"

" I am lying in bed reading. Olivia called me today."

"She did? Why?"

"I guess Robert is in L.A. on a photo shoot and he won't be back until late on Saturday, so she asked me to come into the city on Friday. I said yes, and Mia is going with me."

"That's a great idea, I wouldn't want you to go into the city alone. Are you taking the car?"

"Yes, originally I was going to take the train in, but she suggested the car and we can stay in their apartment there."

"Rory, where does Olivia live?"

"On 11th St in a studio, Mia suggested that we can go to the OMNIA later too."

"Ok, I will have Mia's name on the list, with your name and Olivia."

"Oh add Lucy Baldwin on the list too, she will be joining us. She went to Yale too, she is an actress, model and sells real estate now in the city. She was Olivia's roommate. They were friends of mine, Senior year. You will like her too Finn. She used to date Marty."

"Ok, I will, listen Pops and Angus are at the door, so I will go and call you later. I miss you."

"Miss you too Finn, hurry home."
