An: This is a new Finn/Rory story that I've been writing for a while and decided to post it. Let me know what you think!

Ch1 Partying like we used to

"Why am I doing this again?" I questions Rosemary as she pulls me to the pub.

"Because Steph wants you here" she states. It's December after the elections and I was happily living in my new place in the city when the girls found me out shopping one day and Steph demanded me to come to their engagement party this weekend. She's marrying Colin and it's about time those two got their act together. It's not the first time we saw each other. They visited me in Miami and in Dallas. We partied the night away. We have kept in touch briefly but with the craziness of the campaign it was too hard to see one another. I didn't even have a chance to tell them that I moved to New York because they spotted me the first day there.

"But…" I whine.

"You look hot, you look sexy and the boys will be eating out of your hand in no time" she laughs. I do look good. A black asymmetrical shirt in silk with w rhinestone thin strap on the right shoulder that caps around the shoulder to the material to leave the back in a deep v. Matched with tight dark skinny jeans tucked into my Jimmy Choo leather black scrunch tall black boots and black wool high neck jacket from Burberry, after all it is winter in Connecticut.

"One hour" I states and she smiles.

"Whatever you say RG" she laughs opening the pub door and we enter. This is the LDB party for the engagement, the actual full out society on is tomorrow night and I knew I would have to attend that one. My grandmother called me every day since last Friday to tell me.

"Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Gilmore" we hear Finn announce and all the boys at the bar turn towards us as Steph screams in delight and she runs to us. She's wearing her typical pink halter with jeans and boots. Steph and pink, I don't think she owns anything in another color.

"You're here" she says excitedly hugging the life out of me.

"I love the coat" she states checking me out.

"Dior boots, nice choice" I laugh. We bought those together last week.

"I thought so" she smiles looking down at her boots. I take off my coat and Rose takes it with hers to the coat table.

"Come, we need alcohol" she state linking our arms and pulling me to the bar. Not where I wanted to start out, but that's where we're going.

"Bloody hell, it is reporter girl" Finn laughs as we approach the boys.

"Hey Finn" I smile looking at him and then Colin and Logan.

"Gilmore, about time you showed your face around New Haven or Connecticut for that matter, too good for us now Miss assistant editor" Colin states getting up and hugging me. We had dinner last week, Steph decided to surprise him at dinner after shopping with me. He was shocked and happy all in one. I got a job at Fashion Inc. the new fashion magazine that rivals Cosmo and Vogue. I love it. It may not be big time like the New York Times, but it fits.

"No fair love, I want one too" Finn says pushing Colin out of the way and grabbing me into a bear hug. His cologne is intoxicating. When did Finn smell so good?

"Nice to see you too Finn" I state laughing when he lets go.

"Logan" I say looking at me ex boyfriend that I missed these past 19 months and 3 days. At first I regretted it, but then I moved on. It was hard, but alcohol and sex helped.

"Rory" he nods. Guess he doesn't feel the same.

"Love, let's dance" Finn says pulling me away.

"Finn, I need shots before dancing with you, I haven't forgotten. It's not that long ago" I state and he hangs his head in defeat.

"Fine, but I get first dance" he says snapping his fingers for Eddie the bartender who is still there.

"Shots, my dear man, and keep them coming" Finn says. I smirk knowing that my tolerance as improved since last time we were all together.

"Are you sure you want to got shot for shot with Finn Rory, you don't have much of a tolerance" Logan smirks. Can I slap it off his face?

"Well then I guess you don't know me as well as you thought" I state giving him that smirk right back. "Finn, make it tequila" I yell and Finn gets excited almost jumping for joy.

"Now it's a party, mates" Finn says happily.

"You okay girlie, man your tolerance went up" Steph questions a good three hours after I arrived and Finn and I have gone through three trays of tequila, the hot bombs (tequila and cinnamon schnapps) and then more tequila. Then I ordered a smoking martini and he smirks. I had three of those too.

"Campaign tour" I say. We used to do shots in every bar across the country it feels like, quick and easy way to feel intoxicated. That also caused horrible hangovers and waking up with Tristan mostly. "What's wrong with them" I question Rose who joined in the shots party and nodding to Logan and Colin.

"Huntz is pissed that you walked in and became the center of attention" she laughs.

"Why because Finn rather be with me than with him" I giggle louder.

"Have you looked at yourself love, your bloody incredible, not that you weren't always, but damn girl" Finn states looking me over. I feel all hot as his eyes travel my body length. It must be the alcohol effecting my brain. I can't possibly like Finn hitting on me.

"It's the hair isn't it Finny; It's what is making you all aroused" I smirk knowing that its' reddish brown with thick blonde highlights completely different from the dark mousy brown it used to be.

"Among other things yes" he says sliding his hand across my thigh under the table. I just look at him and he smirks. I shrug and leave him be. It wasn't the first feel he took tonight and he's great with those hands. Too bad I wasn't wearing a skirt, because I would have loved to feel those against my skin. If he moves half as good in bed as he did earlier when he got the first dance, I'm going to love later. I wonder if he wants it too. No, wait this is Finn…of course he does.

"Oh, come on I love this song" Steph says pulling Rose and me up out of seats and to the dance floor with the girls to dance to I kissed a girl by Katy Perry. This is so normal, girls dancing and the boys watching us; normal LDB party. We're all almost drunk and minutes from making out with one another on the dance floor.

"Come with me" Logan says grabbing my upper arm on the dance floor and pulling me to the back corner.

"Logan, let go you're hurting me" I state and he drops my arm.

"Sorry" he says rubbing his chin. That's a clear indication that something is going on. That something is bothering him.

"What do you want?" I state pissed off. I want to go back and dance or drink with Finn. I want to have fun and he's ruining it.

"This isn't you. What the hell happened to you? How am I supposed to stand around and watch you do this to yourself?" He states.

"Like I said earlier, maybe you don't know me as well as you thought" I counter crossing my arms across my chest defensive.

"Oh, I know you, but not this Rory. You look like you're ready to perform a private strip show and Finn's the high roller" he yells and I smirk. After all this time, he's jealous. His volume caused many people to look at us.

"I can leave if you want, would that make you feel better. Make you the center of attention again. Man, I didn't think you of all people would have complex but I guess things change Huntzberger" I state more harshly than expected.

"Is that what you think, that I want you to leave" he states coming closer, his volume low and almost a whisper.

"If it's not then, tell me what I'm supposed to think" I state.

"I want us to leave, together. I missed you. Come on Ace, don't you want to? Just be us again. I know I miss you, I miss the way your body feels next to mine" he says face to face with me and I can smell the scotch. Does he think it would be that easy?

"That was a long time ago and if you really did miss me, explain the wedding band on your hand Logan" I state pushing him away and walking back to the table with Finn and Colin. There's no way I'm letting him ruin tonight for me. He was the reason I didn't want to be here to begin with.

"Nice talk love" he says pushing the tray of new shots to me. Can he read minds? I really needed more.

"What do you think" I state picking up two and throwing them back before grabbing more.

"I'll take that as a no" Colin says getting up and heading to Logan.

"Finn" I question after three more shots are down.

"Yes, love" he says breathing on my neck. He's so close, I might kiss him here. Let's see what Logan thinks of that.

"Wanna get out of here" I question and he looks at me.

"This has nothing to do with Huntz" he wonders.

"You've been feeling me up all night and you think this has to do with Logan" I laugh. Boys are so stupid!

"Just tell me I won't be the rebound and we'll be gone" he whispers hoarsely into my ear, sending chills down my body.

"No" I state firmly. I have moved on and slept with people since we broke up. Tristan was the rebound and he didn't mind.

"Ten minutes side door" he states and I get up to find Steph. Not seeing them, I head into the bathroom and find her and Rosemary.

"Listen, I'm sorry for Logan, I should have told you about him and Kate. I think that's her name" Steph states in the bathroom.

"Keira" Rose adds.

"Oh right Keira" Steph giggles.

"Its fine, I seen the announcement and received a nice invitation from Shira that had a personal message inside stated that I better not show my face" I state and they look shocked. I guess they didn't expect that. "But, I'm leaving I had my share of drinks and just want to lie down" I say and knowing there's plenty of other things I want to do first. They didn't need to know that.

"You're not driving right, Colin will kill me" Steph says worried.

"Called the limo service my dad set up for me" I smile hugging her. "Lunch on Wednesday, Aldeano's" I smile hugging Rosemary.

"Yep" she giggles.

I walk out and see Finn talking to Robert and Seth and Colin with Logan. I grab my coat and purse and head out.

"Whoa there Gilmore, where are you going? You can't drive like this" Colin says grabbing my elbow at the door and I see Finn looking at us.

"I don't belong here Colin. You are his friends and he deserves to have you. Congrats, but I'm leaving" I say trying to move but his grip is harder than I thought.

"With Finn" he whispers but not surprised. Finn probably already told him.

I smirk, "Colin, I'm a big girl" I state kissing his cheek and walking out of the pub. I walk down the block and see Finn leaning on his limo.

"Ready love" he smirks.

"Definitely" I smile as I approach him and he pulls me closer.

"I have to do this love, I can't bloody wait anymore" he says capturing my lips with his and I throw my arms around his neck making him deepen it.

"Let's get out of here" I say as we break apart and he nods opening the door for me and I get in.
