When It's Right, It's Right

Chapter 13

Logan's back in town, will he and Rory pick up where they left off or will recent events force them further apart. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Monday

I had been feeling such a mix of emotions since my night with Finn and it was only made worse when Logan called Sunday night saying he would be home Monday evening and asked if I wanted to meet up Tuesday afternoon. Of course, I said "yes", not only did I want to see him but I also wanted to get things back on course and try to move on from my weekend with Finn.

Monday passed without much excitement, I felt a little more myself, focusing on school and upcoming exams. Sleeping with Finn hadn't changed who I was, and I went off to sleep that night feeling a little better about the whole situation. I had done the right thing for me and Logan to have an actual chance at a relationship. I hoped.

Tuesday

I had a class with Finn that morning and he could tell just by the look on my face that something was going on. "Hey Love, what's got you all fluttery this fine morning...how many cups of coffee have you had so far?" he asked, taking the extra-large to-go cup from my hand and swishing it around to see how much was left.

I grabbed the cup back from him greedily and took a huge gulp "please Finn, this is the only thing keeping my feet on the ground right now" I exclaimed with a sly grin. Before Finn could ask anything I continued "I have a date with Logan later today' I proclaimed excitedly.

"Oookay" Finn replied suspiciously. "Okay! Just okay Finn!! It's the first date since... you know" I whispered nodding my head to the side. "Ooh, okay yes, now I get. It's the big night, you and Logan are finally gonna get carnal" he said in a less than enthusiastic tone. "Ew Finn, carnal, really!" I said, repulsed by his crass wording.

"Oh come on Love, I'm just teasing, relax! So are you nervous?" he said soothingly. "Yeah I'm a little nervous," I replied. At that point, our professor walked in and class began. Finn leaned over to me and whispered, " We'll talk later. We're still studying together after right?" he asked and I nodded in agreement.

We had only booked 30 minutes in a private room at the library as it was just to go over today's notes. We sat down across from each other and opened our books but before I could speak Finn started "So Love, what can we do to get rid of these nerves?" he asked reassuringly. "I don't know, I guess I'm just nervous about the unknown" I replied shyly. "What do you mean Ror, you've had sex now, so the rest should be easy peasy," Finn said a little more tersely than his usual tone. "Geez Finn I don't know, having sex for the first time with someone should be a big deal no? Not all of us change partners like we're at a frigging square dance" I proclaimed; my cheeks turning red with anger. Finn's eyes turned downwards in shame

"Finn, I'm so sorry I didn't mean it like that. I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I wasn't judging I swear" I said scrambling to find the right words. Finn just put up his hand to silence me

"It's Ok Ror, I know you didn't mean it in a hurtful way. I'm sorry, I know you're nervous and I wasn't being considerate of your feelings. And you're right the first time with someone you care about is a big deal, I wasn't thinking," he said calmly

"Look the first thing is you have to be sure of yourself, just be the same old Rory that Logan's been drooling over for the last 4 months and it will all fall into place. Don't try to force anything, let it play out naturally. Whatever is meant to happen will happen" he comforted.

Making eye contact I replied, "Thanks, Finn, that's a big help." Finn just placed his hand over mine soothingly "My pleasure darling. Now I don't know about you but I don't have the motivation to study right now. What do you say we get out of here and get ice cream instead?" he said grabbing my hand and pulling me up from my seat and we walked out arm in arm.
