Chapter 4
"TRISTAN!" Rory couldn't believe it.
Why was Tristan sitting in her grandparent's living room? 'This makes no sense what so ever. Why is he here?'
"Grandma may I speak with you for a moment please?" Rory said through clenched teeth.
"Rory not right now we have guests. Can it wait until later?" Emily asked her
"Sure grandma whatever you would like." Rory could not believe it and didn't understand why he was there.
"Rory what would you like to drink?"
"Just water please Grandma."
"Sure. Here you go." Emily walked over to Rory and handed her the drink.
"Thanks Grandma." Rory was fighting with herself not to pull her grandmother aside and ask her what in the world she was doing.
Emily had cleared her throat causing Rory to be brought out of her thoughts.
"Well kids dinner will not be ready for another hour so why don't you two just go somewhere around the house hang out and have some fun?"
"What do you suggest we do Grandma?"
"Why don't you go show Tristan your room upstairs?" Rory could not believe what she was hearing. 'Does she really think that this is going to work?'
"Ok Grandma just call us when dinner is ready. Tristan why don't you follow me." Man she could not believe that she was really going to take him up to her room upstairs while the adults were downstairs.
Rory leads the way to her bedroom that she had in the house when she was in High School. When they entered her room she sat on the bed knowing that this whole evening was going to be awkward and uncomfortable.
"So Mary how is the bag boy?" Tristan asked Rory this with a smug smile on his face as if he already knew the answer to that question.
"Dean is fine thank you for asking." She really didn't want to go into the whole "Dean Situation" with Tristan but she knew that he was not one to let things go so easily.
"So are you two still together?"
She couldn't help but grind her teeth together to help her keep her temper in check; she waited a few seconds before answering the question.
"Dean and I are no longer together, and he is married."
"He's married well that is just weird. I remember when you two were a couple in High School. Why did things end with you and him?"
"I would much rather not talk about this but since I know better than to try and dodge a subject with you here is how it went. I started to like another guy when I was still with Dean so we broke up and I went out with the other guy. Dean found his now wife and they are happy. That is all I am going to say on that subject." Rory crossed her arms over her chest and walked over to the desk that was in the room and pulled the pictures of her mom and her dad out to look at them.
Downstairs Emily and Tristan's parents were sitting on the couches.
"Wouldn't they just be the cutest couple?" Emily said with the biggest smile on her face
Tristan's mom shifted in her seat then said. "Yes they would. Emily, are you absolutely positive that she is not seeing anyone else?"
"Yeah I am sure I asked her mother and what she said made it sound like Rory wasn't seeing anyone. Well Dinner has actually been ready for a while I am going to call the kids back sown so that we can all eat." Emily went upstairs to Rory's old room to find them sitting on her bed talking.
"Rory, Tristan dinner is ready why don't you both come back down?"
"Ok Grandma we will be right there."
Emily went back downstairs and into the dining room followed by Tristan's parents, Rory and Tristan. When they sat down for dinner Emily was so excited that it took all he might not to jump up and down saying yay.
"So Tristan how was military school?"
"It was ok, I would have much rather been at Chilton where I knew I had friends, but it was a good experience for me to have."
"That's nice. Rory why don't you take Tristan back to Yale with you and show him around a bit. I heard from his parents that he is thinking about transferring."
Rory had a hard time hearing what her grandmother was saying because she never thought that her grandmother would stoop so low.
"Grandma he can always schedule a tour, with the school." 'Yeah why don't you schedule a tour for him Grandma?'
"I think that you should do it because you two know each other and you know where some of the best things on campus are."
"I will think about it Grandma."
"That's all that I ask."
Dinner pretty much went that same way the whole evening Emily asking Rory to take Tristan around Yale and Rory was trying to say no politely but it didn't seem like her Grandmother was hearing her anyway. When Tristan and his family left Rory followed Emily back into the living room that way she could ask her some more questions.
"Grandma what was all that about?" Rory asked her grandmother trying her hardest not to get too angry and start yelling.
"What are you talking about Rory? I heard that Tristan was back in town and I know that you both knew each other in High School so I thought that I would just invite him and his family over for dinner."
"Grandma that is not all you were doing all through dinner you kept dropping hints about 'Wouldn't it be nice to show him the libraries on campus and the coffee carts?'"
"Rory please what do you think I am doing trying to set you up. I am going to go to bed if you don't mind I am getting a headache."
"Actually Grandma I do mind because I will not be set up with any guy that I do not like of my own free will.
"It's not like you are seeing anyone and if you were I would know about it."
"Grandma you wouldn't know if I was seeing anyone because I make sure I don't go around doing things that would bring any attention to what I was doing. And for your information I am seeing someone."
Emily face was that of total school she was not expecting that. "Really and who might that be?"
"I am seeing Jess again."
"You can't be serious Rory. Isn't that, that Diner man's family member or something?"
"Yeah Grandma Jess is LUKE'S nephew. I am going to let you go to bed now. Please stop trying to set me up with people I am not a Barbie doll that needs a Ken I can make my own decision especially when it come to my love life." Rory turned and started walking to the door.
"HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU RORY!" Emily shouted after her causing Rory to stop where she was.
"Grandma that is not for you to decide that is for me and me only to decide. Goodnight Grandma I will see you Friday."
Rory walked out of her grandparent house got in her car and called Jess wanting to hear his voice but all she got was his voicemail she didn't leave a message because she knew that when he saw that she called him he would call her back. When Rory got back to Yale she had to use the bathroom so she stopped at one of the other dorm room bathrooms. After she was done using the restroom she was on her way back out to her car when a girl wearing a gorilla mask came into the bathroom in a ball gown. The girl took the mask off and went into one of the stalls and Rory hear that she was getting sick. The girl came out of the bathroom stall went to the sink and washed her mouth out. Rory saw that this girl was really pretty with blonde hair.
"Sorry had a little too much to drink." The blonde told Rory
"I think that we have all been there." Rory said laughing a little.
"Well I best be getting back." Was the last thing that she said before she headed out the door.
Rory followed this girl out in the direction of where she parked her car, when the girl was outside she shouted 'In Omnia Paratus'. Rory could not quite understand what that could mean but she knew that she would find out soon enough.
