Chapter 4

1. Gloria waited in her room at the bed-and-breakfast inn until almost 11 before she gathered the courage to venture outside to buy the toothpaste and hairspray that she needed. Staying inside the Inn until it was time to meet her family was just plain silly. Eventually she didn't need to leave the protection of her room, and it might as well be now. Besides. Laura needed to get into the room to make up her bed and bring in fresh set of towels. As Gloria descended the stairs, she smelled cookies baking. Chocolate chip? The scent was heavenly. She paused just inside the kitchen doorway to find Sam lifting freshly baked cookies off the cookie sheet and placing them on a wire rack to cool she glanced up and offered Sam a reassuring smile.

Meanwhile Rory had woke up and saw Gloria leaving and kept walking to the kitchen. Hey sleepy head Sam applied! " Oh hey Sam " Rory said! Fresh coffee is ready! Sam reminded Rory. Oh thanks, I need my hot cup of energy for this morning. It's much needed! Rory was still groggy from the sleep. Sit's her coffee cup on the island and sits down on the stool.

Meanwhile Lauren made up the bed in Gloria's room and put towels on her bed. Heading out she looks outside and seen Tiffany the book keeper and struck up an idea to buy a book or two. She noticed how Happy this girl was at this early of the morning drinking a cup of coffee sit down at the table under an umbrella with a glow on her face and reading! Now that is what I want! Lauren murmured to her self. I wanna wake up happy with the morning glow on my face.

Blake opened the door. Hey! He scared Lauren half to death! She jumped! Oh GOD.. Don't sneak up on people like that! You nearly gave me a heart attack. Lauren's heart is still racing. Sorry Lauren! I didn't mean to I just thought to greet you this morning. Blake said with a funny smile on his face. You have a glow this morning too, have you been drinking the city water ? Uhh, can't say I have. He then walks to the kitchen to find Rory drinking coffee and Sam grabbing food from the fridge for lunch. I breakfast this morning ? Blake asked! Sam answered! Not this morning. I'm fixing cookies for the tray for new visitor's.. New visitor's ? Rory asked! " Yeah " Sam answered with a nod! In case we have new visitor's today we can welcome them with the smell of fresh cookies.

Coffee is over there freshly made! Rory told Blake with a smile. Yeah! I kind of figured that out when I smelt it when I walked in. Well of any other day this is the day I had the reflexes to try a good cup of coffee. Hey I have pop tarts! Lauren heard from the living room. And had a story to tell about her addiction to pop tarts!

Lauren walked to kitchen and started telling them. I open the whole silver wrapper and I took a bite I thought it tasted like was my own person. Freedom and rebellion and independence I don't know I don't know if I like them.

Oh Mom. You and your stories!

If you have any kiddo I'll take some. Lauren never knew Rory had any. Hey me too.. Blake said!

Happy to finally eat something that reminded him of his childhood!

Hey you know I use to eat them when I was a little boy. My parents always stayed on the road what time I was going to school and we had no time to fix breakfast so my mom would buy me pop-tarts and pop them in the microwave to warm the inside of it stick them back into the wrapper and I'd eat them on my way to school. She'd drop me off to school and always put more in my backpack for me to eat later.

2.

Mean while: Later at 3:00 everyone in the staff showed up. Did I just see cookies in a plate on the coffee table ? Bianca asked! Sam Answered! Yeah, it's for new visitor's. We'll have new visitors!

The conversation between Bianca and Sam continues., but Rory nudged at Blake and motioned him to follow her.

Lauren takes the servers and cleaners upstairs to help them so she won't be so bored sitting at the desk all day. Because she knows the more she stayed by herself she would be consumed of a lot of thoughts. Rory pretends to go outside and Blake goes to his room to freshen up. She sneaks to her and Lauren's room and starts to freshen up herself! Takes a shower and put new fresh clothes on and makeup and a dash of perfume on.

They meet on their way out and meet at his bedroom door and he grabs her and pulls her in. Hey Sexy! Hey back to you. Rory's heart is racing feeling butterfly's in her stomach. His button up shirt is unbuttoned and she couldn't help but was consumed of some dirty thoughts biting her lip. Oh don't do that to me! Blake said.. As he was consumed with thoughts as he'd take a peak at Rory while he was buttoning up his shirt!

So what do you think ? He asked for suggestion! I think.. She kept getting close and closer to him looking up to his gorgeous eyes and pearly white teeth. He stepped forward and rubbing her back softly sending electricity through her body. Her breathing only made him he didn't want to wait to make a move. She takes me right hand and grazed her her hand softly over his chest and to his AB's.

Don't be afraid Rory, I feel the same way. I feel this urge too! Too ? She questioned him and pulls herself against him. Their lips softly touch breathing become short like a whisper to each other's ear. Kissing so softly made it turn themselves on to where they sit on the bed! Blake walks to the door and locks it. He hovers over Rory and they start making out on the bed. She pulls his shirt off and grazed her hands on his back softly and tenderly. They couldn't help themselves.

It was Rory's first time. But she couldn't help herself, in this case Blake couldn't either!!!

I can't believe that just happened! Rory said..

Blake agreed! Wait I don't want my mom to know what I've done. I should have known if she found out she'd never let me live it down. She'd refuse me to ever be with you. Rory said! Oh yeah.. Blake agreed! My mom did me too, I got tired of it and left after graduation! Well I can't do that to my mom, it was because of me that we got to where we are now..

" Well " Blake added! We can't make people think we've just had sex! Especially your mom. We need to fix up around here!! So they get up and clean up around his room, he unlocked the door after they cleaned up and opened the door to make it look like Rory just stopped bye just to lend a helping hand in case anyone showed up at his door and so no one would be suspicious. Rory had such a glow and Blake couldn't help but to smile back, because he learnt he now cares for Rory. He enjoyed himself as well as he did Rory.

Lauren is looking for Rory, because she had a great idea for the next day's dinner and wanted to go all out! Rory, RORY! Where are you ? Lauren walks down the stairs. Hurry Rory, grab all the towels and rags in my bathroom put it in a pile to make it look like you're doing the hard work! Blake had a brilliant plan.. So Rory grab's all the dirty and wet towels and rags and put them in a big pile! Blake then told Rory. Now wait til you hear your mom walking through here and pick up the pile and walk in here. Oh, Brilliant! I love that.. Rory agreed to his suggestion.

Lauren is still looking for Rory. " RORY " she's getting closer!

Yeah mom, Rory finally answered Lauren.

Where are you at ?

Oh in here helping Blake!

Helping Blake ?

She's questioning herself! She was consumed in the moment! Considering how protective she is as a mom. What would she be doing in there ? Uhh, be a cool mom Lauren, be cool! She murmured! Blake had all his clothes on and looking for a jacket to wear. Here she is.. Blake said! Lauren appeared at the doorway at Blake's Door. Hey Blake! Hey Lauren.. Rory said she was in here, yeah!! She stopped bye checking on me and asked if I needed any help. Hey mom I'm in here! She comes out with the big pile of towels and rags in her arm's. Hey mom what's up ?

Rory, I'm stunned

You're cleaning..

You're picking up towels ?

How could you ?

What ? Rory asked! Only you would make that sound hilarious.. Oh wow, you get me!

I just thought today would be a good day to help out! What did you need ? Lauren answered Rory's question! I'm thinking about Mexican food for tomorrow and decorate for it. Oh that'd be awesome Blake said! I agree with your mom.

That sound's like fun, make like a fiesta and have a Buffett! Are you looking to invite the community or just for us here at the b&b ? I never really thought about that! Well how about we do it for the community. Blake suggested! It's always great for publicity. I can help if you want! Blake you don't have to do that! Oh I'm always up for helping.. it's always a great pleasure. I'm good at hosting parties! We can have Mexican music going on and put up a welcome sign. To draw people in. Your B&B is already stunning. We could put up sombreros and have hat dances. Oh my goodness now that sounds like fun Rory was excited to hear the suggestion!

Ok, well We'll gather in the living room. Get Sam and all the Staff, even Mitzi if she's here long enough and see how everyone can contribute. That's awesome mom! Wanna help me take these to the laundry room. Rory asked, but suggested to get her mom out of the room. Oh Blake! Can you meet us in about 10 or 15 minutes in the living room ? Lauren asked! Sure; Blake agreed!

3. Party plans for Fiesta 🪅

They finally made all the plans. Blake was gonna become the DJ and run the music! Sam and the cooks were gonna cook all the food for the party.. The staff were gonna serve the food and the men were gonna wear mustaches and Sombreros. The girls were gonna wear Mexican dresses and dance the hat dance. To entertain their guest!

Lauren, Rory, and Blake took Lauren's jeep and went shopping for decorations at the mall and at a party store where they have loads of different kinds of decorations even hanging lights to hang around the tree's outside!

Sam waited to be sure her kitchen's crack staff was reliable to take care of her kitchen while her and Rory and Lauren went shopping for food and Mexican fruits after They got back from shopping for decorations with Blake!

While shopping for decorations. Blake and Rory had the idea to advertise it in the newspaper and written down every precise detail and stops to lend it over to the editor and head out to shop for everything.

They get to the mall! While in the Mall Tiffany the bookkeeper's mom Noticed Rory. Rory ? Yes! Rory answered! Hi I'm Tiffany's mom the bookkeeper in front of your Inn. Oh ok. Lauren decided to finish this conversation! I was thinking of heading there later today and book a couple books myself! Me and Mom both share the love of Books from one another. Rory added! Interrupting. Blake interrupted! Oh I love a good book! I can finish any book in one day. Indeed I have before plenty of times. Isn't that nice. Tiffany's mom kept looking at Blake like she saw him from somewhere. Well we have to go we've got a lot of shopping to do before tomorrow. Oh ok! I'll let y'all go and get back to shopping. I have to stop at the coffee shop and grab Tiffany and myself a latte and cake-pop's. Oh I love both! Rory said.. Where is this coffee shop ? Just outside the front of the mall. Oh I was wondering what that place was. Yes you should everything they make is the best! Ok, we have to go now. Lauren said interrupting. She wanted to hurry up and get back to the Inn and relax.

They go inside 4 stores and on their second store they decided to stop and eat pizza and pretzels and drink slushee's before heading to the last two stores to look around for decoration's Mexican related!

They spent 30 minutes and found everything they needed to pull off the best fiesta no one has never seen. Instead of going to the coffee shop after shopping they went on to the Inn and put everything in the stock room. I'm beat! Lauren say's and lay's down on the couch. Me too, Rory Agreed! I second that! Blake said..

As the day went by Around 6:00 in the evening and everyone has rested up. Lauren was heading to bed to take a cat nap and Sam had already fixed supper and cleaned the dishes were put away from where everyone else had ate supper. She left the cooks to clean up so her and Lauren could go shopping for groceries for the party

4. The two surprises!

The next morning Blake and Rory was the only two who woke up very early around 5:30 Blake started going through the refrigerator to see what they could eat for an early breakfast! Rory brewed some coffee enough for them both!

Come here handsome.. Rory suggested! Blake walked over and kissed her softly. I'm sure you meant for that to happen. You know I was so don't be so modest! Well here's another!

Rory then grabs a mug and pours her and Blake a cup of coffee. She then glanced over to a bowl of fruits with mango's, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, peaches, banana's and grapes and apples. She reaches for some seedless grapes and eats a handful!

You're telling me you ate a handful of grapes that fast ? Blake asked with excitement! I sure did! Well well.. I love a woman with a hearty appetite. That's not it, just give me time and you'll see me eat like a pig today during the party.

Well speaking of the party shouldn't we start putting everything up and surprise everyone ? Blake asked! When I wake up with excitement I can't go back to sleep. Sure if you want. Rory agreed! Just eat something with me. Then we can get to work! He then walks over and grabs a banana from the bowl and starts eating. With a mouth full " There are you happy ? " I sure am. Rory started laughing with pleasure seeing Blake scarf down the banana after she suggested he eat something.

So should we get to working on these decorations ? Blake kept asking. I guess we should! We can grab everything and color coordinate as we go along. Oh such a young architect? Blake noticed! How did you know ? Rory asked! Oh come on, I can tell by the way you announced color coordinate. I just knew from the outside of the Inn when you just brought that up that You're the designer who came up with the idea's for your outside decor. I sure am. Rory answered with a smile. Nice! I find it very elegantly designed. Well thank you kind sir. Yeah don't do that! They both laughed at the thought.

They grab everything out of the stock room and bring it into the living room. And separated everything according to where Rory wanted everything to go. Again with the black sheets over everything and curtains to block out the moonlight and make it look like the inside of a Mexican restaurant. Even down to the Mexican Flag. Every table and chair in the middle of the floor and the tables where the food would be presented with Sombreros attached to the sides with orange cloth on the tables. With maracas and guitars stickers attached as well. Streamers that say Taco bout a party son them hanging where The taco bar will be.

Hanging long tensile and place for the DJ to be able to run the music. With big Cacti and Taco stickers to attach to it. With red spot lights on the sides of the tables. Teal, orange, yellow, pink, and green flowers and balloon's on the outside at the picnic tables and a gorgeous centerpiece for every table with Mexican flowers surrounding 3 candlestick centerpiece. The even decorated the kitchen and dinning room. They used the plates Rory used during their first party for the inn's grand reopening..

Rory and Blake worked for 4 hours and had it all finished by 9:00 around 9:30 Mitzi and Lauren woke up to see the place decked out and beautiful! Don't tell me you did this on your own Kiddo ? Mom, Rory said.. I didn't do it on my own Blake helped me too. Yes! I had part in this, because I just love to surprise people. Blake was happy to obliged with the opportunity to make other's happy. It was my idea to start early. Well thank you Blake! Lauren thanked Blake and gave him a warm hug. It really means the world to me. She looked at Rory at how she reacted and noticed a glow on her face with a warm smile. She couldn't hardly get her eyes off Blake and Smiled. She smiled at Rory and noticed this wonderful atmosphere in the air. Rory looked like she was on cloud nine. Well I better go get some coffee I'm gonna need the energy for later. Yes Rory said! I need to get cleaned up and get out of my pj's. Me too Blake said and they headed their separate ways.

Around 10:00 Gloria woke up and Sam arrived!

" Wow " Gloria was astonished at how the house looked! Sam couldn't believe her eyes. Who did this ? I don't know. Sam questioning herself! But it is fantastic. Gloria was surprised as well. Lauren finally woke up and noticed how the coffee was getting cold and made another batch of hot coffee.

Mmm.. I smell fresh coffee Gloria said! Smells freshly brewed, Sam said! Oh it is.. Lauren Walked to the living room. What is this ? They saw Rory and Blake walking inside from decorating the front yard! Hey Mom, Rory greeted a fair good morning to Lauren and noticed Sam didn't come through the front door, but she came through the exit from the kitchen. Oh Hey Sam and Gloria. Hello Rory and Blake, good morning! Gloria greeted Rory and Blake. You know I'd love to see you two together, you would look so good together. Gloria applied! Oh I think so too Sam spoke up. Oh I think so too, so I second that! Lauren said!

So tell me this what's going on ? What happened while I was asleep ? Gloria questioned! Oh I know now little miss architect couldn't wait! Blame Blake, it was his idea to surprise everyone. " Oh Wow " how nice and how thoughtful you wonderful man. Gloria steps close to Blake and pinches his cute cheeks and pinched his butt. Woow there Mrs. Willingham that's not what that's for. Oh you handsome man, you're no longer a child. You're a grown man the most handsome man I've seen here in stars hollow. And how many times have I told you all to call me Gloria ? Gloria applied! Ok Gloria.

Gloria looked to Sam suggesting to go grab some of that delicious coffee before it starts to cool down. Oh yeah! Let's do Sam said, and they head to the kitchen and grab a couple mugs and pour themselves some coffee. Oh wouldn't they make the cutest couple ? They sure would!

Back in the living room Lauren grabs Rory by the hand and puts her hand in Blake's hands. Now there you two are now officially a couple. What ? Rory was anxious and asked again. What do you mean ? Lauren answered with; I can see the chemistry between you two. I sensed it the day Blake arrived! You couldn't keep your eyes off of one another and y'all stayed all day long out together the other day. I want you both together. It would make me happy! Really? Rory asked like she was asked by permission. Really, You wouldn't care if we dated ? Blake asked! No I don't care, Rory you're not a teenager, you're a grown woman. Have fun kissing and making out. I did with your dad when we first met! I just want you to be happy. Well I am Happy, Rory said and Blake agreed! Sam and Gloria walked into the door way and there they was smiling at one another and Kissing. Oh I just love Love! Gloria said! You know we can hear you Gloria; Blake said!
