Chapter 26 I've Fallen for You

Finn pulled his car into the parking lot at Chilton on Friday at 2:30, he was smiling as he parked his car. He had picked up the ring and decided that today was the day he was going to propose, and he knew the exact spot where he was going to do it. Finn texted Rory and told her that he was waiting in the parking lot. Her class had just left when she got the message. Rory smiled when she read his message and decided to see what he wanted. She grabbed her coat and walked outside to the parking lot and saw Finn leaning on his Escalade, the same car that he drove the day he bumped into her. She walked over and tilted her head.

"Hi, you're here early. What's going on?"

"Why do you think something is going on? Can't a bloke come and see his Shelia?"

Opening up the passenger door he told her, "Get in. I want to take you for a ride."

"I haven't signed out of the building yet, I don't have my purse and what should I do about my car?" she asked him.

"No worries, Love, let's go inside and sign you out and then we will come back to get your car later." He pulled her into his chest and kissed her nose, and he shut the car door.

"You drive a hard bargain," she smirked. They returned into the school and walked to the office where Rory went to the computer and signed herself out. Then Finn took her hand in his, and they walked out of the building.

"Put this on," he said and handed her a blindfold.

"Finn, you know I don't like this. The last time I was blindfolded, you drove me miles away from campus."

"I promise that we aren't driving miles away," he said and tied the blindfold around her head. He opened the car door and helped her inside and immediately she could smell her favorite drink. He leaned over and buckled her in her seat and took a moment to give her a passionate kiss. She responded by wrapping her hands around his neck and gently running her fingers through his curly hair. He then walked to his side of the car.

"Finn, why does your car smell like Mocha Latte? Did you spill coffee in the car?"

Finn didn't respond and continued to drive to the middle of Hartford. He was glad that he remembered to put the Mocha Latte aroma scent freshener in his car.

"Finn, why aren't you talking to me. You know I don't like this," she said pouting and folded her arms across her chest.

"Love, do you trust me?" he asked her.

"Yes, but not when I am wearing a blindfold Mr. Is this an LDB stunt?"

He chuckled, remembering her first LDB ride and how she questioned everything he did that day.

Rory sat back in her seat pouting and listening to the traffic noises of car horns. She listened carefully as the blinker light went on and felt the car slow down. He pulled up in front of the cafe where he hit her and parked in the exact same spot where she had parked. He walked around the car and opened up her door. He undid the blindfold and then handed her a coffee cup. She took it and then looked at him.

"Finn this cup is empty."

With a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Open it."

She took off the cover of the to-go cup and looked inside it. There inside was a ring box. She looked at him and saw that he was kneeling in front of her on one knee.

"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, exactly two months and two days ago, we literally bumped into each other. These last two months have been amazing, and I want to continue them. He then hit the song he had ready on his phone. The song was by Train called "Marry Me." Could be heard coming from his car stereo. Smiling nervously he looked at her, then taking her hand in his he continued, " I know that you are not a big fan of public display, so I made sure that the store was closed for the next hour and the street was blocked off. I don't have much time to say this, but I will be the happiest Bloke in the world if you will be my wife. I cannot spend any more nights without you lying beside me in my bed. Will you marry me?"
