Chapter Title: More Than Fine by Switchfoot. I wanted Rory to sing this in the shower. But I thought the other song would be more fitting.
Summary: They have the whole summer ahead of them. A lot can change in a summer.
Rating: T, nothing really happens in this one, except typical horny teenage guy behavior.
AN: I'm still the only one here, and there isn't much else to do. So you guys get another chapter. I like having the house to myself for more than a couple of hours. It's really peaceful. Anyways, enjoy, and let me know what you think.
When I'm up with the sunshineI want more than just a good time
I want more than just okay, more than just okay
Rory woke up cold the next morning. Tristan was in the room. 'Maybe he went to get breakfast.' She thought closing her eyes. She still couldn't believe that she was spending the summer with him. She would have to call her mom later and thank her. Someone was outside making Rory sit up. The lock unlocked making her breath return to normal.
Tristan walked in wearing a t-shirt and basketball shorts. He reeked of sweat. He came over to Rory grinning evilly at her. She shrieked trying to push him away. He laughed knowing he was grossing her out.
"You don't love me anymore?"
"You stink!" She said scrunching up her nose.
"Nothing a shower won't fix."
"Go." She said pushing him away.
"Come with me." He said reaching for her hands.
"No. I'm going to get us breakfast."
"Take the card. It's on me."
"I'll buy out the store." She said grabbing the keys and his wallet.
"Fill up the tank too." He said shutting the bathroom door.
Rory was back later. The shower wasn't running but the door was still closed. She knocked letting him know she was back. She sat on the bed taking bed taking off her shoes.
"Hurry up. I need a shower too!" She said pounding on the door.
"Hey. I offered to let you take one with me." He said opening the door.
"If I had we'd still be in there." She said shutting the door behind her.
Tristan watched her in wonder. They had slipped back into each other's lives like they had never been apart. He heard Rory singing a song he didn't know. She was singing at the top of her lungs. And it didn't sound that bad.
Lets hear it for the boyLets hear it for my baby
Lets hear it for the boy
Oh lets give the boy a hand
Rory stopped as she turned the shower off. She heard clapping from the next room. She blushed while brushing her hair. She realized she hadn't brought any clothes in with her. She stuck her head out the door to find Tristan sitting on the bed.
"Hey, can you grab me some clothes?"
Tristan stared up seeing the towel almost fall off of her.
"Hello?" Rory said bringing him mind back from the gutter.
Tristan crossed the room stopping just short of her reach. He held out her clothes holding them up.
"Tristan come on!"
"No way." He said shaking his head.
"I know you're enjoying this. But come on!"
"You don't know how much I'm enjoying this." He said staring at her.
She gave him puppy dog eyes and he groaned handing her the clothes. She smiled in victory before shutting the door. She came out a few minutes later to find the door open. Tristan came in closing it behind him. He smiled at her remembering what had happened a few minutes earlier.
"What?" Rory asked staring at him.
"What song were you singing earlier?"
"Oh, it's from 'Footloose'. It's called 'Lets hear it for the boy'."
"It was nice. I didn't know you could sing."
"I only do it in the shower."
"I'll have to talk you into singing more often."
"I will if you will."
"You don't wanna hear me sing."
"Whatever cake eater." Rory said shrugging her shoulders.
She grabbed her coffee then looked up to see him staring at her. She wiggled her eyebrows at him. Leave it to her to break the tension between them. He hated singing, he sounded like a dying cow in his opinion. He sat down across from her taking hold of her free hand. He traced circles on her palm. She looked at him from under her eyelashes. He loved when she looked at him like that. They sat in silence while they ate. Ten minutes later they were back on the road.
AN: I've got another challenge for you guys. If any of you guys can guess what movie Rory got the 'cake eater' reference you get a trophy. That's right, I upped the prize. You guys have to work for this one, it's not as easy. I'll give you a hint… Quack, Quack. I know, not that good of a hint. But at least you know what it has to do with now.
