I spent the rest of Saturday attempting to do my homework and catching up on laundry, I found it hard to concentrate after the weekend but did the best I could. Thankfully Paris was nowhere in sight when I got back to the dorm I couldn't have faced her third degree of my overnight disappearance. She left me a note saying she was with Doyle, and I sighed with relief knowing I had the place to myself for the night. Around 7 o'clock that night my phone rang. I was scared that it might be Logan, I wasn't quite ready to face him. So needless to say I was slightly relieved and surprised to find that it was Steph.

"Hey, Steph, what's up?" I answer cheerily. "Skip the small talk and spill! I want all the details," Steph ordered enthusiastically. "You want details? I don't know. I feel kind of weird talking about that," I replied hesitantly. Was that something people besides Paris actually talk about? I wondered. I had hoped that my hesitation and low level of comfort would ward her off, But that wasn't enough to get Steph to back off. "Of course I want details!" she replied. "It hasn't all sunk in quite yet. My brain's still in kind of a fog," I explained, still not quite ready to talk about what had just happened.

"Fine. If you're not ready to talk tonight, then maybe you'll be ready tomorrow. Dinner and girl talk at your place tomorrow?" Steph paused. Before I could say anything, she continued. "I'll be there at 6." Realizing I didn't exactly have a way out I found myself complying with her request "Uhm ya, sure 6 works, I'll order the pizza," I state happily.

"Great, I'll see you then!" and we hung up

Sunday night at 6 sharp Steph arrives at my dorm with a bottle of wine in hand. "Hey Steph, come on in" I greet as I open the door to let her in. "Rory, eeeeh" she squeals, pulling me into a tight hug. "I can't believe it, my little girl's all grown up" she cheered.

"Really! Steph?" I asked with disdain. "I don't think that being an adult should be based on whether or not I've had sex," I stated. "Don't take it so seriously. I was joking. Besides, I'm just proud of you for taking this big step to better your relationship with Logan," she says unconvincingly.

"Ok Steph, that's enough after-school special- mush for now" I joke and motion for her to have a seat on the couch. "The pizza should be here any minute, I got half meat lovers and half 3 cheese," I tell her in case she wants something else. "Oh that sounds so good, I'm starving. How about for now we open the wine and you can start telling me about your night" she suggests.

I'm hesitant I feel kind of uncomfortable telling anyone about this but Steph already knew about it so maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I sit next to her on the couch as she opens the wine and pours it into our glasses. Steph hands me the glass. I could tell she was getting very impatient with my uncooperative nature. "Ok, Rory. I want details, so spill!" she ordered. I take a deep breath and start to speak "There's not much to say. We had sex and it was fine."

"C'mon! I know that sex for the first time can be weird, but I also know Finn, and there's no way it was anything less than ordinary," she prodded. I knew she'd continue to pry until she got something out of me and the wine was starting to hit me, making me feel a little more comfortable.

"Well, I have to admit it was pretty amazing. I had no idea Finn could be so romantic and sweet, he truly outdid himself" I admit and Steph gives me a suspicious look. "That's a good start, but a vague overview isn't going to satisfy my curiosity," she replied. "You know me better than that!"
