Hey sweethearts!
Da bin ich wieder. Es gibt zwar keinen Neu-neuen Chapter, aber für euch hab ich ja trotzdem einen. Aber erstmal mein Re-Fb:
@katalin - Schätze mal, dir hat es gefallen. Freut mich. Ich hätte an Rory's Stelle aber auch lieber Colin und Finn gekriegt, als ein Haus.
@eve94 - Schön, dass es dir gefällen hat. Sooo viel passiert beim Tanzmarathon eigtl nicht ... da müsst ihr noch ein paar Teile warten *fieses Grinsen* Viel Spaà beim lesen!
@JUHUI - genug gefiebert! Freut mich, dass du den Teil so gemocht hast. Kein Problem mit dem aufklären, mach ich doch gern. Wirst ja sehen, ob nicht in diesem Jahr noch jemand anderes Kirks Thronfolge antritt. Wer weià ...
@RoGirl - *Rotwerd* Danke für das Kompliment. Wenn man gröÃtenteils auf englisch liest (was ich ja bei FFs grundsätzlich tue), kommt das irgendwann von selbst. Víel Spaà mit dem neuen Teil.
@contigo - why thank you!
Ich freu mich doch immer, wenn jemandem meine Schreibweise gefällt. Dir auch viel Spaà beim lesen.
@pratschkuh - Ach ja, ich hab den Tanzmarathon einfach geliebt - er musste mit rein. Viel Spaà beim herausfinden!
So, fertig. Nun ... Ladies and gentleman ... It's showtime!
Chapter 8:
He's my rock
Saturday morning Rory was woken up by a grinning Finn. Looking at the clock she groaned. It was five in the morning. But he brought her coffee, at least something. And he looked incredibly sexy in his outfit.
âThirty minutes kitten, come on! Get up and dressed, I want to dance!â
Thirty minutes later Rory was dressed and ready to go, but still couldnât really stand. She leaned into Finn the whole time, trying not to fall asleep standing. When they were there, Babette smiled at them.
âStill not much of an early bird, sugar?â She asked sympathetically.
âHow can anyone be up? How can you be up, Finn? Itâs an ungodly hour!â Rory groaned her eyes still closed. After that Finn burst out laughing.
âYou really have been around me for too long, kitten!â She only smiled at that and leaned a little bit more into him. âNeverâ was the reply he got, and he truly liked that thought.
âAlright people! Every dancer on the dance floor please! And remember, in case of emergency you may use your yellow card and wonât be disqualified as long as your partner remains on the floor and moves all the time! Now get ready everyone! We have only two minutes left until we start!â Taylor shouted over everyone in the dance studio. Finn took Roryâs hand and smirked as he saw, where she put her yellow card.
âNice placeâ he commented. She hit his arm laughing.
âDonât even think about something dirty, Finn! And itâs the same place my mom put it every time.â His smirk only grew.
âThinking something pretty dirty right now, what are you gonna do about it love?â
âIgnoring you, but that is impossible. Letâs just dance.â Right at that moment Taylor started the countdown.
âTen, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! And itâs Showtime!â With that everyone began to dance.
The first hours were just big fun. Everyone was dancing fast, there wasnât any slow song in between. And, of course, Finn was an amazing dancer. Babette even stayed longer on the floor just to watch him. But as always, hours passed and the songs became slower. The first real slow song came to an abrupt end as Taylor blew the horn and the run around began.
âI really hate Taylor, when he does that â he gets too much pleasure out of it!â Rory pointed out. Finn just grinned; he really had fun so far. It was great to participate with all those crazy people. Andrew had already rushed out and Kirk danced around them, as if he wanted to prove that he was the best. Plus dancing with Rory was fun, too. She had been in a good mood for the whole time. And her mood got only better when Luke made them coffee in the break.
âSo my lovely daughter, are you having fun?â Lorelai asked Rory when Finn went away to get them food.
âYeah, itâs really cool and Finn is a good dancer.â She smiled happily.
Lorelai smiled too. She had watched her daughter the whole time and she liked what she saw. Rory seemed to glow. She had laughed and joked around with Finn over the last fourteen hours, just a little bit exhausted.
âIf I wouldnât know better, I would say you two are in love.â Lorelai stated. Her daughter agreed.
âI know, weâre pretty close. He was there for my every time when I needed him in the last years. He took care of me, he let me cry on his shoulder when I needed to, he cheered me up, he brought me coffee and every possible food in entire Boston. I donât know how to describe it. He is my rock, the yin to my yang. When we got closer it just fit, you know? It clicked, like in a puzzle. I donât know what Iâd do without him.â During her speech Rory gestured with her hands and something on her right wrist caught Lorelaiâs eye. She took the arm and looked at it. It was a silver bracelet with three little pendants on it, a heart, a coffee cup and a kangaroo. The heart was in the middle.
âWhatâs this?â she asked curious.
âItâs a birthday present. I got it from Finn for my last birthday. He said he searched for two months before he found a jeweller that could make a coffee cup and a kangaroo.â
In this moment Finn came back and Taylor called the dancers on the floor again. Lorelai watched her daughter and her best friend go back. Finn had laid an arm around Roryâs waist. It wasnât a possessive gesture or anything, but just this little fact showed the elder Gilmore Girl how much the Australian really cared about her daughter. âJust like Dean so long agoâ she thought and then went back to her husband.
The twenty third hour of the marathon had arrived and Rory was really tired. The only reason why she hadnât passed out by now was the man she leaned on. Finn surely needed to hold nearly her whole weight, but he didnât seem uncomfortable. She had played with the thought of stopping not two hours ago, but Finn seemed to enjoy himself and she didnât want to stop that. She was glad that he liked her hometown that much ⦠and she was quite comfortable with their position (her arms around his neck, her head on his chest and his arms around her waist). Finn felt about the same. He really liked being that close to Rory.
In that moment Kirks partner (he didnât dance with Lulu because she wanted to watch him) went down. Patty woke up and blew the horn. The pair now stood still and Rory looked up at him with sleepy eyes. He smiled down at her and then twirled her around.
âWe won, kitten!â he laughed as everyone began to clap.
âWe won ⦠We won?!â she finally seemed to register his words. Patty came up to them with the trophy.
âCongratulations! You two did that really good, itâs a first that Kirk didnât win!â Suddenly Rory wasnât sleepy anymore. She hugged Finn and then rose herself to give him a kiss. It was nothing, just a little peck on the lips, but that and her cheerful smile were enough for him. She was happy and he was part of the reason. It made him feel even better. Now Lorelai came up to them.
âIâm so proud of you! You got the trophy! Iâm happy!â she said, while she jumped up and down like a little kid on Christmas. Finn took the trophy from Patty and watched the women smiling. He was really lucky to be here.
Freu mich auf eure Meinungen!
Liebe GrüÃe, Susu :knuddel:
