Rory awoke the next morning by flinging her right arm behind her; she sat up suddenly realizing that she was alone, she looked down and was wearing one of Tristan's shirts, she then became confused because she didn't even remember going to bed, or changing for that matter. As her eyes adjusted to the light, her memory was a little bit hazy. The last thing she remembered was leaving Starshollow, and after that she didn't remember, she didn't even remember falling asleep. She listened for sounds, seeing if she could hear Tristan moving around, but the room was completely silent. She furrowed her eyebrows and got up, she checked the bathroom and he wasn't there, she then moved out into the hallway, still nothing. She moved slowly in and out of rooms, she entered numerous odd looking rooms, one looked like an office, another was like an arcade, he had a hot tub in another one, "I really need him to give me a tour of this place" Rory mumbled to herself as she closed the door behind her. She moved to go down the stairs, she was halfway down when she suddenly realized that she noticed voices, she froze in place as the voices stopped, she whined to herself 'not again'
"Well aren't you a catch in the morning" Finn said as he looked at Rory a grin in place
"I think this is better the second time" Jake joked, Logan and Jess laughed
Rory blushed a crimson read, she felt her skin become hot as she fiddled with the sleeves on Tristan's shirt, she looked over at Tristan, he was sitting casually in a chair, his right leg sat at a 90 degree angle on his left knee, she watched as his eyes casually looked her over from head to toe, licking his lips slightly before he smirked at her, he was already dressed, his hair was done, and he already had a drink in his hand, "Morning Mare" he said smoothly, Rory just glared at him slightly, before smiling weakly, she looked around the room and saw Colin, Finn, Jake, Jess, and Logan, but at the far end of the room there were two men sitting in suits, she was silently kicking herself, why didn't she ever think? They watched her as she just stood there, her brain wasn't working, and she couldn't move, 'come on feet move' she thought to herself
"Tristan, we should get back to this" One of the guys in the suits said interrupting the awkward silence that filled the room as he picked up the papers that sat in front of him
Tristan glanced up at Rory quickly before turning to the guy, "I don't know what we have to discuss, I want him fired, and he's a conniving son of a bitch"
Rory realized that they were talking about that Jeff guy, her feet finally got the message and she slowly moved backwards, she overheard on of the men saying "Tristan I know you're upset and I don't think that both sides were aware of this"
"Chuck" Rory heard Tristan pause, "We're not talking about the tokens that you win at a Chuckie Cheese, we're talking about fucking money, he was manipulating both sides and I refuse to let that little bastard stay in this situation knowing what the fuck he's doing" she heard the tone in his voice change from calm to a little bit frustrated
"And I completely understand this, but after your little incident last week what else do you expect us to do?" The other guy asked
"What I expect you to do is do what I'm fucking paying you to do, I don't want him handling this case" Tristan ordered the guy
"Look Dan" Rory heard Jake interject, "I understand that finding someone new is going to cost a bit, but we're willing to pay it, Colin could even take over and we'd be okay with that, but our sources say that this guy is a schemer and his past records show that we have a reason to not trust him" Jake was trying to mediate, Rory knew that Tristan hated repeating himself and that if he were to talk again his tone would be a more yelling voice
"I don't think that the other side would agree to not only your lawyer going over to battle but also a personal friend" The one man with the lower voice said
"I have someone that could do it" Rory furrowed her eyebrows as she heard Tristan speak, "But they would have to look past the fact that I have a history with them, he may not be the most trustworthy person, but I think he has a high enough status and bias towards me to look over the case evenly"
"I'll have to go to the other side and see how they feel about your father looking over this" the higher pitched voice man said
"Okay well you do that, and then get back to us" Colin mocked; Rory could hear them rise from their seat and exchange goodbyes
Rory rested her head on the banister, "Tristan, they're not going to do that" Jess said after the men left
"I can't even believe that you would even consider doing this, what happened to never needing him" Logan commented
"He wasn't fucking listening to me, what else was I supposed to say" she could hear that frustration in his voice, "I just threw out a thought, he probably won't even do it"
"I just don't get why we can't just fire the rat bastard" Finn said bitterly
"He signed a contract" Jake said calmly, "We can't fire him unless we go to court, and we don't have the time or money to go"
"We don't have enough money to take the bastard to court, but we have the court to hire Tristan's dad, am I the only one that sees this as crazy?" Finn asked
"We don't have time to discuss this, we have another meeting in twenty minutes" Colin told them
"I need a breather" Tristan said, Rory suddenly heard footsteps coming towards her, she quickly got up and ran down the hall into Tristan's room, she jumped into the bed and covered herself up, acting like she was sleeping, she heard the door open and she peeked through her one eye quickly, "You're going to have to be a lot quicker and quieter the next time you choose to haul it down the hallway" she heard him say as he closed the door
"I didn't do it on purpose" Rory said innocently, "I woke up and you weren't here"
Tristan laughed, "I told you I had meetings this morning"
Rory shrugged her shoulders "Yeah but I didn't think you were actually serious, how early were you up this morning anyway? You look tired"
Tristan sighed and rubbed his eyes as he sat down on the end of the bed, she sat up from where she was, "We started at six"
"Six?" Rory asked shocked, "You might as well have not even gone to bed "
Tristan grinned weakly, "That's business" he sighed lying back onto the bed, "So I should head back down there"
Rory nodded her head, "Okay, well I think I'm going to shower, then maybe head down to the kitchen and get something to eat"
"I could bring you something up" Tristan suggested
"No it's okay, I'll find something to do, maybe I'll go see Madline or Louise or even Paris" Rory told him
"Sounds like a plan" Tristan smiled
"Hey can I suggest something" Rory questioned, Tristan nodded his head, "Maybe my grandpa could help with this, I mean he knows about this stuff and the terms and everything, and that way you don't have to go to your dad"
Tristan smiled and shook his head, "Yeah well it's worth a try, I'll call Dan and Chuck now" Rory nodded her head, Tristan smiled and leaded in to kiss her forehead, "I'll see you in a bit"
"Sounds good" Rory said smiling, "You have fun"
Tristan got up from the bed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah, that's what I'm going to do" he said sarcastically as he walked out of the room
Rory reached for her phone that was on the nightstand she dialed Madline's number, "Hey" Madline answered on the other end
"Hey, what're you doing?" Rory asked as she fiddled with a piece of her hair
"Uh I just got off the phone with Louise, it's a beautiful day, we figured we might hang around by the pool, considering the boys are on lockdown for the day, we might as well have a little fun, Bellini's and tanning by the pool?" she suggested
"Yeah, better than hanging out in this big house with nothing to do, I'll be over in an hour" Rory said
"Sound good, I'll call Paris, see you soon!" Madline said with a cheery voice before she hung up the phone
Rory got up from the bed and went into the bathroom, she looked in the mirror and sighed at the appearance, her hair was knotted and her make up from the day before was slightly smudged, she reached for the bathroom bag that she brought and found her makeup remover, she grabbed a piece of toilet paper and dabbed a bit of the remover onto it, she wiped her eyes and threw the piece in the garbage. She then reached in and grabbed a pony tail, she braided the front part of her hair and then tied her other hair back into a messy bun. The weather had been so nice the past few days, May was coming to an end and June was right around the corner, the sun was warm, she had packed a bathing suit just in case she needed it, she slipped it on and then put on a jean skirt that she had brought, along with a long blue tank-top, she packed sunscreen and sunglasses in a bag and carried it out the bedroom door.
"Where're you going?" Finn asked as she reached downstairs, she looked around and another man in a suit was sitting with them, the guys once again looked stressed, well minus Finn who Rory could tell was completely oblivious to what was going on
Rory placed her hand behind her head, "Uh I'm just going over to Madline's, we're going to lie by the pool" Rory told them
Rory heard all the guys sigh after she said pool, "How're you getting there?" Logan asked, "Cause I could always drive you" Tristan glanced at him quickly
Rory rolled her eyes, "Uh I was going to walk, it's a nice day" Rory said pointing to the door
"Why would you volunteer to drive her? You're not even dating her" Finn pointed out
"Yeah I know, but just in case she forgot how to get there" Logan said hopefully
"If anyone would drive her it would be either Jake or Tristan, but not you" Finn said sitting up straight
"Yeah well my girlfriend will be there to dumbass" Logan snarled
Tristan got up from his seat, "You sure you don't need a ride?" he asked taking her hand
"I'm sure, I want to walk" she said
"Okay, I'll see you a bit" he said kissing her lightly on her lips, she hear Finn whistle and Tristan stuck up his middle finger, Rory just blushed
"See ya" Rory said as she went out the front door with her head down, not making contact with the guys
When she arrived at Madline's house she rang the doorbell and a very happy Madline answered the door, she had a red and white bikini on with her hair tied back and a pair of sunglasses on her face, she held an orange colored drink in her hand "You made it" she greeted, as she moved out of the way to let Rory inside, "Oh my god I can't get over how nice it is outside" Madline said as she led Rory through the house and outback
"Yeah, the weather has been crazy hot" Rory said, Louise turned to them from her spot on a lawn chair, she held a piece of cardboard with aluminum foil covering it, she had a sun hat on her head and a pair of sunglasses, with one of those one piece bathing suits
"Hey" she greeted Rory, "You plan on tanning in that?" Louise asked as she slid her sunglasses down her nose
Rory rolled her eyes and glanced down at the ground and then up at the sun and then at the pool, "I have my bathing suit underneath" Rory sighed finally, putting her stuff on the ground and sitting on the empty chair beside Louise, who nodded seeing the ties to Rory bathing suit
"Here you go" Madline interrupted, handing Rory a slushy drink
"Oh I don't know if I should…." Rory said hesitantly
"Rory don't be lame" Louise said returning her cardboard to place
Rory let out a loud sigh, "Fine" she mumbled and took the drink from Madline
"So what's the deal with the guys' meetings today anyways?" Madline groaned as she took a seat at the end of Rory's chair
"All I was told was that they needed to figure some stuff out" Louise said annoyed, "I just don't understand why it always takes all of them to deal with everything, I mean wasn't this Tristan's fault in the first place?"
"Well that sounds a little needy" Paris interrupted as she walked through the glass doors "And it's obviously just a result to have completely useless your boy toy is, considering he couldn't handle his part for a week" she said with a hand on her hip
"Who let you in?" Madline asked
"The door wasn't locked" Paris stated
Madline looked at Paris slightly shocked, her mouth was slightly open and her eyes gave a confused looked, "I'm pretty sure I locked it"
"So I knew where the spare key was" Paris said back to her
"We don't hide our spare keys" Madline told her
"I climbed through a window" Paris sighed
"The windows lock from the inside, care to try again" Madline asked with a smug expression on her face
Paris let out a long frustrated sigh, "Okay fine, so I went to the front door, it was locked, so I took it upon myself, considering I assumed that you would take forever to get to the front door, so I went and jumped the fence, a window in the kitchen was open, so I jumped up on a bush and climbed in, I then proceeded to fall into the sink, which was filled with dirty dished, and I scared the maid, and then I got up and walked out here" She huffed and then sat in a chair nearby, "Are you happy"
"Paris" Rory paused and looked at her leg, "Oh my god is that blood? What happened to your leg?"
Paris ran her fingers through her hair, "Fine I might have fallen climbing over the fence"
"You know there's a gate that opens right?" Madline asked, Louise laughed
"Yes Madline, I knew there was a gate, but I decided I would test my rock-climbing skills on your fence" Paris snarled sarcastically
"Here" Louise interrupted, "It'll calm your nerves" and she passed Paris a drink
"Oh so you'll never guess what happened to me today" Paris remembered
"What?" Rory asked
"Jamie called me" Paris paused, waiting for a reaction, none of the girls said anything, "He said he'd been thinking a lot about me lately" she paused again, still they waited for her to finish, "And I told him, you know what buddy you can go screw yourself, just because the hoe that you dumped me for stopped screwing you doesn't mean that I was next in line, and for his information that I had also found another companion while he had been getting busy with his right hand, because lets be serious that girl did not stay around for as long as he would like me to think, that's beyond the point, I told him that while he was busy I had found myself a much better and bigger companion to fulfill my needs" she paused again and watched as Rory, Madline and Louise all looked slightly disgusted, "What? So it's alright to talk about Tristan and predict about how big and how good he is, but it's not okay to talk about Colin? At least I tell you guys things, Rory's quieter than a closed book"
"Okay Paris, don't take this the wrong way, but Tristan is well…" Madline searched for words to say, "Well he's Tristan, and Colin is well…"
"Colin" Louise finished
"What is the difference, they all roll with the same crew" Paris noted
"Crew?" Louise asked, "Really Paris, crew?"
"What's wrong with crew?" Paris said appalled
"Are we in second grade" Louise rolled her eyes
"That's not even the point, I just don't understand the difference between Tristan and Colin, I mean have you seen Colin, he's basically the same" Paris defended
Rory bit her lip, not wanting to get into the middle of this, Madline looked like she was about to hyperventilate, "Did you actually just say that sentence" she said in disbelief
"Well it's the truth" Paris said, her voice was angry and Rory could tell by her tone she had no intention on backing down anytime soon
"There are just so many things wrong with this right now" Louise said amazed
"I think I'm gonna go in the pool" Rory interrupted moving off of her chair and towards a floaty that was positioned close to the pool
"What's your position on this subject Gilmore" Paris asked turning to Rory
"I would rather stay out of this" Rory begged climbing onto the floaty and tilting her head back
"What position do you think she's on Paris" Louise asked her as if she were stupid, "She is sleeping with Tristan remember"
Paris rolled her eyes, "Just because she settled for the prince does not mean she doesn't want the king"
"So now Colin's the king?" Louise said shocked
"Oh my god my ears" Madline whined covering them
"Well he might as well be, he's the whole package" Paris defended
"Paris I don't think that he's even half the package" Louise said irritated
The doorbell to the house rang, and Madline quickly got up from her place, "I'll get that, it'll get me far away from this ridiculous conversation" and she left to go answer the door
"That is so typical of you" Paris told Louise rudely, "You just assume based on looks, you never look into what the persons actually like"
"Okay, if I'm being so blind, tell me something that Colin has that Tristan doesn't" Louise asked her
"Well" Paris paused, she couldn't think of anything
"Can't think of anything? What a shock" Louise said sarcastically, "Now tell me something that Tristan has that Colin doesn't" Paris just glared at Louise, "That's what I thought" she answered knowingly
Rory watched in amazement as the two continued to bicker back and forth, the conversation was obviously going nowhere but the thing about those two was they didn't like to be wrong, no matter how wrong they were, they would never admit it
"Well doesn't that sound like an interesting conversation" Colin interrupted with a big grin on his face "I'm disappointed I messed it"
Louise and Paris stopped fighting immediately; Rory turned her floaty to face him, "What're you doing here?" Paris asked rudely
"Nice to see you too babe" Colin sarcastically stated as he walked over to give Paris a kiss on the cheek
"My previous question still stands" Paris said, holding a stern cold front
"We're done for the day, it's too nice out" Colin said calmly, grabbing Louise's drink from her hand
"Ass" she said bluntly sitting back on her chair
Paris glared at her with her arms crossed and then looked at Colin, "Wait, did you say we?"
Colin nodded, slurping on Louise's drink, "Yeah, they're on their way"
"Who's they?" Rory asked uneasily from the pool
"The guys are just inside grabbing a beer" Colin said looking at Rory with a confused look "Did I not say we?" he asked more as a statement than a question
"Looks like the party can officially start, I'm here" Finn sang as he walked through the door, two beers in hand, he didn't have a shirt on and Rory closed her eyes from underneath her sunglasses, trying hard not to look at Finn's pale white skin
Louise rolled her eyes at Finn, "Madline" she called, "I need another drink, mines been stolen, and the sight of Finn's bare chest is creeping me out" she stared angrily at Colin and disgusted at Finn who just held out the two beer in confusion
"New drinks, right here" Madline said cheerily as she came through the back door with a tray full of drinks, Jess followed closely behind her carrying a six pack
"Rory, you better get out of the pool, party starts in half hour" Jess told her opening up the case of bear
"Party?" Louise asked sitting up
"Yeah, we sent out a text about a half hour ago" Jess said glancing at her
"Turns out Finn has a pretty big buddy list" Logan laughed as him and Jake came through the door, Louise smiled when Logan walked in
"I don't know why you guys think I don't have friends" Finn complained
"Can't we just enjoy the sun?" Rory asked
"Gilmore, it's time to lighten up, you're only young once" Finn joked
"I thought you guys were supposed to be tied up all weekend?" Rory asked again
"Well now we're not, so we're going to party a little bit" Finn grinned smartly before he put his drinks down and jumped in the pool, splashing Rory in the process
"Finn" Rory yelled, trying to wipe the water off of her body, Finn rose to the surface of the water and spit a mouthful of water at Rory, who shrieked in the process, "You're like a preschooler" she glared at him as he floated in the water on his back
"Oh Rory, one of these days we're going to figure out what it takes to make you lighten up a little bit" Finn said casually, Rory rolled her eyes, "Speaking of lightening up, where is that boyfriend of yours, Jess Logan where's Tristan"
They both shrugged their shoulders, Colin was about to say something when Summer casually walked in slightly dragging Tristan's arm along with her, "I have to admit, I wasn't going to come to this hell hole, but when I found out that Tristan was going to be here I had to come" she said grinning up at Tristan
Rory got off of her pool toy, and looked confused at Tristan, who looked at her annoyed, Finn stood beside Rory and mumbled, "Looks like I forgot to delete her" Rory glared at him again, He shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry"
Rory grinded her teeth together, "You can be a real idiot sometimes" she whispered to him
Finn scowled at her and shook his head, "You know Summer it's funny" Louise said standing up
"What is? That hair colour of yours" Summer stood with a hand on her hip, "Trissy it looks like your so called girlfriend and best friend have a 'special' bond" Summer said slyly
Tristan rolled his eyes and yanked his arm away from Summer, disgusted that he even let her touch him, "Summer why don't you just let him go? He's clearly repulsed by you a long with the rest of the boys in town" Louise said rudely
"Funny Louise, wasn't it just a few years ago that you wanted to be just like me" Summer answered back with the same rude tone that Louise used
"That was before the bad plastic surgery" Louise said, not standing down
"Look can we stop the bitch fights, they're getting a little old, let's just face the fact that no one likes Summer, so she shouldn't even be here" Jess said, his arm was slung over Madline's shoulder
Summer put her hands up innocently, "Look I didn't come here for trouble, I came here to have a little bit of fun, maybe get a could free drinks out of it"
"No trouble? Yeah that must be why you showed up here in the first place" Louise said sarcastically, turning her back and looking up at the sky
Rory watched as neither of the girls said anything, Logan reached for her hand and pulled her off in a different direction, Jess and Madline followed, Paris stood with a straight back and arms crossed, Colin put a hand on her shoulder, trying to make her less tense, Finn silently splashed water back and forth biting his lip, Rory then turned to Tristan, he hadn't made eye contact with her yet, and she thought it was a little bit strange, she didn't want to sound self-absorbed but she thought that he would at least look at her once, Summer was about to say something when all of a sudden a truckload of at least twenty people came barging through the backdoors yelling and cheering, they carried cases and cases of beer, she ended up screaming as a random guy grabbed Summer and jumped into the pool. When she reached the surface of the water she looked like a drowned rat, her hair was damp and flattened, and her makeup was all over her face, she smacked the guy that brought her into the pool, and he just laughed, Rory laughed to herself and moved to get out of the pool, she grabbed a nearby towel and wrapped it around herself, when she got out of the pool she looked to find Tristan and she didn't see him.
Now she was really confused, she had searched every corner of the house and she couldn't find him, she had checked all the bedrooms and the bathrooms and the closets, the kitchen the office, everywhere and she didn't understand where he went, or why he was acting the way he was acting, he had walked in with Summer and didn't say a word to her, she stood at the top of the stairs, leaning her elbows on the railing, "Hey" Paris greeted as she came up behind Rory standing to her right
"Hi" Rory said glumly, "I thought you would have left already"
Paris shook her head, "No, Colin fell in the pool and him and Finn decided to have a cannonball contest, they've played like ten rounds, and I don't see them letting up anytime soon"
Rory let out a silent laugh, "Typical" she mumbled
"I know right?" Paris said, sounding like Madline and Louise, Rory looked at her confused, Paris looked just as confused "I have no idea where that came from" Paris said with wide eyes, she quickly shook it off, "You know I can't believe it's almost over, in just over a month and a half we'll be graduated, all this has to end"
"Do you really think it has to end?" Rory asked, scanning the floor again, but she still didn't see him
"Eventually we have to grow up Rory" Paris stated the obvious, Rory tilted her head to the side "Okay, I know what you're thinking, but all of them except Finn know when it's time to act like adults"
Rory laughed again, "Yeah I guess"
"You made a decision yet?" Paris asked, Rory knowing exactly what she meant
"I haven't really had a whole lot of time to think about" Rory confessed
Paris let out an irritated sigh "Rory, you have like two weeks to respond"
Rory rubbed her temples "I Know, and I will, I just, it's a big decision"
"Well obviously Rory, its college for god sake"
Rory rolled her eyes, "If this was two years ago the decision would be easy, it was Harvard all the way, but now" Rory paused
Paris finished for her, "There's a lot more to consider" Rory sighed and closed her eyes and nodded her head, "They'll understand, no matter where we choose to go" Rory chose to remain quiet, slightly irritated that Tristan had vanished from the party without even a word, "You should go talk to him"
Rory looked at Paris confused, "Who?"
Paris rolled her eyes, "The boy that you're thinking about, you're kind of obvious" Paris winked and walked away from Rory
Rory let out a long exhausted sigh, and then sat on the couch behind her; she held her head in her hands, "Looks like you've had a rough night" a voice Rory didn't recognize
She looked up and a dark haired guy with hazel eyes was looking at her "I guess you could say that"
"I tell ya, these guys in high school really knew how to party, and they're still at the same place, except with a lot more money" he laughed as he took a drink of his beer
"You knew them in high school?" Rory asked interested
The guy nodded his head, "Yeah, I was one of the bench players on their basketball team" Rory laughed, "Hey" he pointed his beer at her, "I didn't suck, I just had a whole lot better luck kicking a ball with my feet, instead of dribbling it with my hands"
Rory laughed again, "So you were a soccer guy"
"Team captain actually" he said with a cocky tone to his voice
"Well weren't you Mr. Jock" Rory joked
The guy looked at her and rolled his eyes, "I'm Caleb" he introduced himself
"Rory" she smiled
"Ah, so you're Tristan's girl" he said leaning back on the couch, "I always hated that he got to the good ones first" Rory bit her lip nervously, "It's okay, I always got them after"
"It's not like that" Rory defended
Caleb nodded his head "Sure it's not, you're supposedly the special one"
"What's the supposed to mean" Rory asked
"What it means is that everyone's talking about you, you're the girl that supposedly changed the bad boy in Tristan, you made him want commitment and all that other shit, am I right?" he asked her, Rory didn't say anything, "That's what I thought, you know it's weird, I haven't seen him here tonight" Rory still remained quiet, "He used to do that when he didn't want to deal with confrontation"
"You sound like you know him pretty well" Rory said
Caleb shrugged his shoulders, "We grew up together, sort of, we were neighbours, we were both supposed to get out from under our parents wings, but when it came to the point that it was supposed to happen, Tristan decided not to let me in on the plan, and he left and made something of himself"
"He's not like that anymore" Rory defended
"So I've heard, he's the new Tristan Dugrey" Caleb said sarcastically "So where is he?"
"Not sure" Rory said honestly, "He was here, but then he left"
"You're not sure why?" Caleb asked
"He didn't say anything to me" Rory said quietly
"Sorry" Caleb said
"He's just been going through a lot lately" Rory whispered
Caleb pursed his lips and sighed, "Look Rory, I don't know you, and you seem like an innocent girl, and willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, so if you believe that, then that's up to you" he placed his hand on her knee and looked at her sympathetically, "It was nice meeting you, I'm sure I'll see you around" he said before getting up and walking away, Finn passed him as he walked, Finn gave him a quick nod before going over to Rory
"Love, I thought you would have left by now" Finn said sitting beside her
"Not really sure where I would go to" Rory confessed, folding her fingers on her lap "Did something happen today?"
Finn rubbed his fingers over his forehead, "I'm not entirely sure love, we left early, and Tristan stayed back" Rory smiled sadly, "I saw you talking to Caleb" Finn pointed behind him
"Yeah, he's a nice guy" Rory said
"Yeah, Tristan and him used to be pretty close in high school" Finn said casually
"Yeah he mentioned that" Rory told him, Finn nodded his head, "I should go find him"
"I don't think you'll have to look very far" Finn smiled, "He likes to sit in his den and think about stuff" Finn whispered in her ear
Rory smiled at him, "Thanks" she said getting up from the couch and walking down the stairs
She walked through Tristan's house and into his den, slamming the door in the process, he was sitting in a large leather chair that faced towards a window, when he heard her come in he turned the chair to face her, he didn't say anything, he just looked at her, "What the hell is going on" Rory asked him, he still didn't say anything, his eyes were a cold blue his tie was loosened and the top button of his shirt were undone, his lips drew a straight line across his face, he held the stern look on his face, Rory clenched her fists "Fine" she said turning angrily and walking out of the room, she stormed up the stairs into his room, she heard his footsteps behind her as she walked, she reached for her bag and began frantically packing her bag, she turned towards him "Is it absolutely impossible for us to move forwards? Just when I feel you opening up and being completely honest with me, you go and do shit like this and it's back and square one, and Tristan I deserve a hell of a lot better" she said hurt, tears began forming in her eyes, "Say something!" she yelled at him
"I heard you ran into Caleb" His voice was unemotional and stern
Rory crossed her arms, "You have someone following me?"
"What did he say to you" Tristan asked her
"Why does that even matter?" Rory asked confused
"I have my reasons" Tristan said his voice was rough and controlled
Rory let out a long frustrated sigh, "Nothing" she lied
Tristan crossed his arms, "Don't lie to me"
"I don't see how this is relevant to your disappearing act" Rory glared at him
"Just answer my god damn question" He threatened slamming his hand against the door
Rory flinched slightly, "No" she said, her tone was strong
"Rory" Tristan warned
"Tristan" Rory mimicked
"I'm not playing games Rory" Tristan said seriously
That didn't wear Rory down, "Neither am I Tristan"
"Then why won't you just answered the fucking question" He basically yelled, his tone was cold
"Because it's none of your business, you weren't there" she threw that in his face, she paused and he didn't say anything, "Actually wait, you were there, for about two seconds, enough time for me to see Summer fling herself at you and you do absolutely nothing but look pissed off, and then the next thing I know you're gone, without a single word, when I left this morning everything was fine, what the hell happened Tristan" she begged him to answer but still he stayed quiet, "Fine, don't answer, but if you choose to leave it alone and not tell me anything, then I'm leaving Tristan, and I'm not turning around" she waited for a minute to see if he was going to respond, and when he didn't Rory grabbed her bag from the bed and headed for the door, she was halfway down the hall when she heard his footsteps following her
"Rory wait" He said, Rory turned around and waited for him to say anything
"Wait for what Tristan" she asked, tears streaming down her face, "I've been waiting, I can't wait anymore and unless you have a legitimate excuse for me to stay, I can't keep doing this" she turned around again and headed for the door
"Rory will you just give me a minute" Tristan asked
Rory stopped at the bottom of the stairs, "Why should I?"
"Because, things got really complicated today" Tristan said, slowly moving down the stairs
"Complicated how?" Rory asked crossing her arms and wiping her eyes
"They denied your grandfather's offer, they called me at Madline's, they said unless I found another way to find common ground that we would lose the Steelers and Holmes would be traded, so I just left, I came here and tried to figure out a plan" Tristan said sounding stressed out
"And you couldn't tell me that because?" Rory asked him, still angry
Tristan walked over to the bar and poured himself a drink, Rory stayed in her position at the bottom of the stairs, "I was going to"
"But you didn't" Rory told him
"I know that" Tristan told her, "Because I realized who could get us out of that mess, so I called an old friend"
Rory moved on her feet back and forth, "Caleb" Rory said realizing
"Yeah I called the bastard, and he told me that the two of you hit it off pretty damn well tonight" Tristan stated bitterly "And that it could be just like old times"
"Tristan we didn't do anything" Rory told him
"Yeah well he's an ass that holds a lot of bitterness towards me" Tristan told her
"So you're in cahoots with Caleb now" Rory said sarcastically, Tristan just stared at her, "Why the hell are you working with him"
Tristan paced back and forth, "Sacrifices had to be made Rory, and he's the only one that can get us out of this hole"
"So?" Rory asked him
"So I called him, and he said he'd do it" Tristan told her, Rory noticed that he had a bitterness in his voice
"So what's the problem" Rory asked
"He said he'd do it, but with a price" Tristan said, his fists clenched, Rory looked at him confused, "He said he'd do it, if I let him have you"
Rory's mouth dropped, "Excuse me"
Tristan put his glass down on the coffee table, "So I told him to fuck off"
Rory stood there in shock "You told him to what?"
"I told him to go fuck off" Tristan said, "Turns out he didn't have the balls to turn down the offer, so he said he'd do it"
"He what?" Rory asked no sure if she understood what he said
"He said he'd do it" Tristan said walking over to Rory slowly
"So then why were you so angry when I came in" Rory looked up at him, backing up as he moved closer
"Because he told me he wanted you" Tristan told her simply
"And let me guess you had to think about it" Rory said bitterly as her back met with the wall behind her
"Rory don't" Tristan asked her
"Don't what? Don't lie to me I know it crossed your mind" Rory told him
"You're being ridiculous" Tristan told her
She bugged out her eyes at him, "I'm being ridiculous" she copied his words, "You consider giving me to some guy that used to loath you in high school and I'm being ridiculous? Are you freaking kidding me?"
All he did was smirk, as he reached her and pinned her against the wall, she squirmed underneath him, and glared up at him, "I never considered it" he told her
"Now who's lying?" Rory asked him
"Will you just stop" he asked her as he moved his mouth closer to her, she taped her mouth shut, and he laughed at her, and moved down to her neck, "Today was hell" he whispered to her, "I couldn't get you out of my head" he said as he kissed her neck softly, "You were teasing me this morning" she closed her eyes and tried to breath normally, "Coming down the fucking stares in my shirt, you had to know what you were doing" he continued to kiss her, his lips sucking as he continued "and then it took everything in me not to have you in the pool this afternoon, I've never seen you in a bikini"
"Tristan" Rory whispered
Tristan put his finger on Rory's lips, "Shhhhh" he whispered against her lips, "It's my turn to do a little teasing" he said grinding his hips into hers, she moaned
"I wasn't teasing you" she whispered out
Tristan laughed, "Whatever you say", his hands moved down to play with the button on the Rory's skirt, he kissed her lips, and she moaned into his mouth, she could feel him smirking against her lips, their mouths moved against one another, Rory's hands slowly moved from her sides up his body, he groaned from above her
"Oh thank god you guys are here" Finn burst into the house
Tristan growled as he pulled away, lightly pounding his fists against the wall behind Rory, before standing up straight, Rory blushed underneath him, he leaned back down quickly, "We'll finish when he leaves" she sighed again, "What do you want Finn"
Finn sauntered in and over to the bar, "I heard a blood awful rumor today" he poured himself a tall cup of gin put two ice cubes in it before walking over and throwing himself on the couch
Tristan rolled his eyes and grabbed Rory's hand and walked her over to the couch, he sat down and pulled Rory down on top of him, he kissed her quickly, "What do you mean Finn"
"Colin thinks he knows more than I do, he told me that that son of a bitch Caleb is going to take on the Jets, and I laughed in his face, saying he didn't know jack all, like Caleb would ever work for you Tristan" Finn snarled, Tristan just sat quietly, didn't say anything Finn slowly sat up with an open mouth, "You're not serious"
Tristan sighed, "It's the only way Finn"
"Well there has to be another fucking way, I refuse to work with that backstabbing bastard" Finn said seriously
"Yeah well Finn, it's the way it has to be" Tristan said calmly
"I can't believe you of all people thought of this, I mean after what he did…." Tristan quickly shot Finn a look and Finn paused immediately "Never mind"
Rory caught Tristan's attempt to stop Finn, "What does he mean by that?" Rory asked curiously
Tristan adjusted his position, laying back into the couch, "You caught that huh" Rory tilted her head "He told my dad about our idea, he was the reason I got the ultimatum because Caleb told my dad that I planned on moving away from the family business, originally he was going to give me my trust fund early, but instead Caleb convinced him not to give it to me at all"
"Why not" Rory asked interested
"Because when he told his father the plan that's what his father did, he gave him an ultimatum so Caleb felt that I should be given the same option" Tristan explained
"He told me that you just left him" Rory told him
"You two really did get into some deep conversation" Tristan sarcastically joked, Rory glared
"There's the background, the point is that Caleb knows that we need him, so he's going to come in here thinking he's king shit, and that he can tell us what to do" Finn whined
"It won't be that bad Finn" Tristan told him
"Yeah, it will be worse" Finn groaned, "I am not going back to fetching him drinks"
"We'll have a welcome party at the club" Rory said finally, Tristan and Finn looked at her confused, "Tomorrow night, we'll act as if it's a celebration party, 'welcoming him to the group' and I have a few tricks up my sleeve"
Tristan tilted his head "Meaning what exactly"
"None of your business, I have to make a phone call" Rory said getting off of Tristan's lap and running up the stairs, Finn looked at Tristan with a confused face, Tristan just shrugged his shoulders "Don't follow me" Rory shouted behind her
"What's wrong with her" Finn asked
Tristan laughed, "Don't ask me"
Finn and Tristan sat on the couches for a couple more minutes, when Madline and Louise came rushing through the front door, carrying numerous black pieces of clothing, "Oh this can't be good" Finn mumbled to Tristan, who watched as Madline and Louise ran past them, Paris followed them slowly behind
"Paris" Tristan asked "What the hell is going on"
"We need to help Rory find an outfit for tomorrow night" she said casually following the girls up the stairs, "Oh no need to spread the word, Madline and Louise sent out a blast everyone that needs to be there will be there"
"But how do they have…." Finn started
"They used Jess and Logan" Paris said as she disappeared up the top of the stairs
Tristan turned to Finn, who stared blankly up at the stairs
"Okay so we have every piece of black skin tight clothing that we have" Louise explained as they came into Tristan's room
"Crap this thing is huge" Paris said looking around
"What do you need this stuff for anyways?" Madline asked "You were very brief on the phone"
"Tristan and the guys have come into a little bit of trouble, and they needed to bring in a new guy to help them out, so they called this guy they knew in high school, Caleb something"
"Pitrowsky? " Paris asked
"I don't know, I didn't ask, you know him?" Rory asked
"Well he was graduating the same years Tristan and everyone else did, him and Tristan were pretty close from what I observed" Paris said
Louise sat on the end of Tristan's bed "Caleb was like the brunette soccer version of Tristan"
Rory furrowed her eyebrows, "It was unfortunate for Caleb though, he always had to deal with being second when it came to Tristan, well up until he walked away from anything that is, after that Caleb kind of rose to the top for a little bit" Madline said
"Perfect" Rory whispered, the girls looked at Rory, "We're going to try to make Caleb feel like he is number one for once, and then we show him that he's not"
They all looked at her confused, "How do we do that?"
Rory smirked, "We act like I chose him instead of Tristan"
Paris tilted her head, "Tristan's not going to like that idea"
"Yeah, well if he doesn't want to feel like Caleb owns him, he's just going to have to let whatever jealousy he might feel towards Caleb be put aside for the night" Rory explained
"But I don't understand, how doing that is going to make him feel weak?" Madline asked
"Yeah, I don't really know either, but I do know that for most guys, his weakness is a girl in something tight and black, and to have that girl snatched away could be just the thing to knock that cocky bastard off his horse" Rory explained
Rory watched as the girls contemplated what Rory had just said, "It makes sense" Paris finally said
Louise and Madline looked at each other and nodded "Okay well I think something short with a lot of leg and a very revealing amount of cleavage" Louise said looking at Madline
"Sounds like the Black V dress with a pair of black stilettoes, can you walk in five inch shoes?" Madline asked Rory
"I think it would be worth it" Rory smiled
"Rory I think it would be in your best interest not to let Tristan see what you plan on wearing" Paris suggested
Rory nodded, "Yes I think that might be wise"
"What might be wise" Tristan asked leaning against the doorframe
"Just girl stuff" Louise covered, her and Madline quickly picking up the clothes before Tristan could see them
Tristan looked at all of them "Right, well if you don't mind, I'd like some alone time with my girlfriend" he said looking at Rory
Louise and Madline smirked, and Paris rolled her eyes "We will see you tomorrow, have a good night" Madline smiled as they all left, "P.S. we need to do a quick shop tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up around ten"
Rory looked at her confused, "See you Gilmore" Paris said and Louise waved
When they all left Tristan cocked his head to the side with questioning eyes, "What the hell was that" he asked her pointing behind him
Rory shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Well you know girls they're always weird" Rory shrugged it off
"What're you hiding" he asked her suspiciously
Rory laughed nervously, "Nothing"
"If you're up to something you should let me know" He said sternly walking over to her, and placing his hands on her waist
"If I asked you to do something, would you do it, even if you didn't know all of the details?" Rory asked him playing with his shirt
"Depends what that something was" Tristan said to her
"If I asked you to just trust me" Rory asked, trying to be cute
"Rory" Tristan warned, with a suspicion in his voice
"Look, I will explain everything soon, but I just need you to trust me" she moved out of his arms and towards the bathroom, he furrowed his eyebrows as he watched her walk away from him, when she reached the bathroom she stuck her head out of the door, "And I need you to not get jealous" she said quickly before shutting the door and locking it
It took Tristan a minute to process what she just say, "Rory" he said walking over to the bathroom door, "What the hell does that mean" he said banging on the door
"Remember that whole trust thing I mentioned, it starts now, and I'm telling you, you don't need to know" she said from the other side of the door
"You have to give me a little bit of idea of what I should be expecting" Tristan told her through the door
"It's not so fun not knowing everything is it" Rory joked from the other side
"You're not being funny" Tristan told her, he heard the lock on the bathroom door unlock and Rory opened it, and walked out of the bathroom, wearing a white tank-top and a pair of booty pajama shorts, Tristan looked down at her, licking his lips, Rory rubbed against his body as she walked by, smiling up at him, he was about to say something when Rory's cellphone rang, she stuck her tongue out at him before walking over to get her phone, he watched her walk past him, before going into the bathroom
She smiled to herself, "Hello" she greeted
"Hello my only daughter" Lorelai greeted on the other end of the phone
"Mom? How's the honeymoon" Rory asked
"Well it's a lot more honey than moon if you know what I mean" Lorelai joked
"No mom I actually don't know, neither do I want to know" Rory told her
"Fine, fine, so how have you been?" Lorelai asked
"Good I've been good, you've only been gone like a day" Rory rolled her eyes
"I know, but I mean a lot happens in a day" Lorelai laughed
"Well tell me about the trip so far" Rory told her, she heard the bathroom sink turn off and the bathroom door open, Tristan came walking out in his boxers, Rory's mouth dropped when he walked in, he smirked at her, and she was speechless
"Rory, Rory, were you listening, Rory" Lorelai said into the phone
Rory shook her head, "Sorry mom, you were saying"
She heard Lorelai's breath in the phone, "Did a shirtless blonde just walk into the room" she asked laughing
Tristan came and sat next to her on the bed moving her hair to the side and kissed her neck softly, "Uh sounds great mom" Rory whispered trying hard to stay under control
"You totally weren't even listening to me, well I'm going to let you go" Lorelai said into the phone, "have a good night love you"
"Love you too mom" Rory said as she hung up the phone and put it on the nightstand and then smack Tristan, who didn't respond all he did was grab Rory's hands and pin them above her head as he lay her down on the bed, she was about to say something when his lips connected with hers, he held her hands about her head with one of his hands and his other steadied him above her, and he continued to kiss her feverously, she felt like she was on cloud nine, but her mind kept telling her that she needed to stop, she needed to prep her head for tomorrow , "Tristan" she said against his lips, trying to pull away, but because he had her hands she couldn't, "Tristan" she tried again
"Hmmmm" he said as he moved down to her neck, releasing her hands
She sighed "We can't do this now"
He groaned against her neck, "I think now seems like a pretty good time to do this"
She laughed from underneath him "Maybe in your mind"
Tristan sighed, "Rory" he groaned, "It's been over two weeks" as he rolled off of her
"Careful Tristan, you might start to sound desperate" Rory warned him
Tristan leaned on his elbow, "At this point I almost am"
Rory rolled her eyes, "Just a little longer" she told him
He pulled her into his chest "Don't tease"
"I promise" she told him
"We could always kiss" he told her moving closer to her again, but she pushed him away again
"And we both know where you intend on keeping it from there" Rory knowingly told him
"Fine" Tristan huffed, "I guess we'll just go to sleep"
Rory smiled and leaned over and kissed his forehead, "Good idea"
"You know that was supposed to make you do the opposite right?" Tristan asked
Rory nodded "Uh-huh I know" she turned on her side and closed her eyes, "Night"
Tristan stared at her for a minute in complete and utter shock, and reached to turn off the light, he looked at Rory through the darkness, his facial expression still the same, and he watched her until he knew she was asleep, he was tired, it had been a long day, but he had still managed to stay awake to watch her, he didn't know what she had up her sleeve but he had a feeling in his stomach that it was going to be an intense day tomorrow
"So explain to me again what we're looking for" Rory asked Madline as they walked through the mall
"We're looking for an outfit for you to wear tonight" Madline said walking into a lingerie store
"But I already have an outfit for tonight" Rory said confused, looking slightly surprised at what Madline was holding in her hand
She held the outfit up to Rory "Not your club night outfit, your tonight outfit"
"That has like no fabric" Rory said glancing at the tiny pieces that Madline held before her
"Yeah well, Tristan is going to have a long night tonight, and what better way of rewarding him then to give him something I'm sure he's already fantasized about" Madline said holding up a pink two piece
"And what if my plan doesn't work?" Rory asked her putting the pink thing back on the hook "Aren't we a little young to be doing this"
"Are you not having sex" Madline asked Rory, she didn't wait for her to respond knowing that she wasn't going to, "If you're having sex, you're not too young to be doing this, I think I like this one" Madline said, holding up a lacy red two piece outfit, the bottoms had a frill all the way around it "What do you think?"
Rory just stared at it, "Uh…."
"You like it, perfect" Madline said smiling, walking over to the cashier, "I'll pay for it, consider it a little gift" she said winking
Rory sighed, "There is no way that I'll be able to pull that off"
"Well lucky for you, Tristan will be doing all the pulling" she said as she handed the cashier her gold card "How long has it been since you guys did it last"
"Madline" Rory whined glancing at the cashier
Madline rolled her eyes, "Rory, just between you and me"
"It's been like three weeks" Rory admitted
Madline looked surprised, "Well, you have some will power, and now I know this outfit is perfect, he won't know what hit him"
"So you actually have no idea what's going on tonight?" Logan asked Tristan back at their house
Tristan shook his head, "No, she won't tell me anything"
"It has something to do with Caleb though?" Jess asked
Tristan nodded, Finn snapped his fingers, "Maybe Rory's having an affair with him"
The guys all looked at him confused, "What the fuck Finn"
"He liked her" Finn defended himself, Madline and Rory walked through the front door, Tristan looked up, "Are you having an affair with Caleb" Finn asked immediately
Rory's mouth dropped, "What?"
"Is that the plan" Finn asked
"To haven an affair with Caleb" Rory asked him
"Ewe" Madline said from the front step
"I'm just going to go upstairs" Rory said as her and Madline bolted through the living room trying to hide her bag, "How the hell does Finn know?" Rory said as soon as they walked into Tristan's room
"You're not having an affair with Caleb, you're just letting him know you're off the market, it will either ruin their deal or it will give them complete control" Madline whispered, just in case someone came up the stairs
Rory paced back and forth, "Oh my god, what was I thinking, I don't have the guts to do this, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do"
Madline walked over to Rory and gripped her shoulders "Look at me, YOU CAN DO THIS! Tristan is not going to kill you, he'll hopefully be a little understanding, if you need to tell him before, put this on, he'll forget what you were saying" Madline said handing Rory the bag
Rory let out a long nervous sigh, "Okay, okay, I just have to trust myself"
"Exactly" Madline smiled, looking at the clock, "I have to get going, some prep before tonight, but I'll see you later" Rory nodded as Madline walked out of the room, she walked down the stairs and seen the guys, "Well I'm going to get going" she said and they just stared at her, "Jess, I may or may not have a Victoria Secret bag in my car" she said as she kept walking, Tristan, Jake, Finn, and Logan all glanced at Jess, who stood up immediately, Jake looked absolutely disgusted, "And Tristan, Rory wants you upstairs" she said as she walked outside
Jess and Madline shut the door behind them, "So I guess we're leaving" Finn said breaking the silence
Tristan leaned on his knees and looked up the stairs, "Yeah I'll see you guys tonight" he said before getting off the couch, the three others stood up, nodded their heads and walked out
Rory sat on Tristan's bed looking at the outfit, she had just put it back in the bag when Tristan walked in, "What's that?" he asked her interested
"Nothing" Rory said quickly closing the bag
"What'd you buy" He asked her walking over to her
Rory looked up at him, standing before he got to her, "Just a little something" she smiled at him
"How little?" He asked as he tried to grab the bag
Rory held her hand out against his chest "No peeking, and you might get to see it later"
He looked down at her and licked his lips, "It's for me?"
Rory looked at him seductively, "It might be a present for you" Tristan lifted his eyebrows, "Depending on how you react tonight" she said finally
He looked at her with question in his eyes, "React how?" he asked curiously
"Okay I'm giving you a heads up, so don't get mad" Rory begged him
He crossed his arms "I'm listening"
"I don't think you're going to be particularly happy with what I'm doing tonight" Rory looked at him innocently, Tristan's face turned angry, "But you said you'd trust me" she said quickly
"No" Tristan told her, his voice was strong and he didn't even know what Rory was planning on doing
"Tristan" Rory started
"No way in hell Rory" Tristan said again
"You don't even know what the plan is" Rory told him
"I know it has something to do with Caleb and something that I'm not going to be happy with, I'm not a retard" Tristan said running his hands through his hair, "So the answer is no"
"Yeah but on a scale of one to ten, how mad would you be if…"
"Rory come on" Tristan said annoyed, she backed up, and he sighed, "Look, I would rather deal with Caleb then have you do what you were going to do" he said to her, "I would never put you in a position where you feel like you need to…" he paused searching for the word, "Prostitution yourself" Rory opened her mouth to say something, "It was me that got us into it, and I will get me out of this" he told her, "I want you to tsay as far out of this as you can"
Rory sat down on the bed, "Fine" she mumbled
"Not that I don't like the idea of presents" he said as he moved her backwards onto the bed
She giggled at him, "Well I guess there will be two outfits tonight you won't get to see"
He glared at her, "Wear the one you were going to wear tonight anyways, just because you can't 'seduce' Caleb in it, doesn't mean I don't want to see you in it"
She was on her back and she played with the bottom of his shirt, "Well the one is more of an after outfit" she whispered to him, "Just for your eyes only"
His eyes grew big, "I am more than okay with that" he said to her as he moved his mouth to hers and kissed her, her arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer, his body was lying flat on top of hers, his tongue explored every inch of her mouth, and his hands skillfully pushed the fabric of her shirt upwards, his eyes darkened quickly, and Rory smiled as he kissed her
"I have to get dressed" she breathed against his lips
Tristan nodded, "Then let me help you get undressed first" he said lifting her shirt above her head and then quickly moving his hands down to her jean shorts, Rory's breathing was heavy, as she felt Tristan undo the button to her shorts, she moaned as his fingers brushed the top of her underwear line "Were you planning on wearing these tonight?" he mumbled against her lips, as he quickly slid them off, ripping them in the process, "I guess not" was all he said as he tossed them on the floor, he cupped her with his hand and she screamed out
"Oh god" she breathed, he played with her, with every inch of her, his hands explored all over her body, he massaged her and she continued to moan, and she was pretty sure that she was moaning loudly, when suddenly he pulled away
"I'd rather save it for tonight" he whispered in her ear before leaving a light kiss on her neck, and he got up and walked over to the bathroom
Rory covered herself quickly with the blanket, "Tristan" she breathed
"Now you know what it's like to want it, and not get it" he teased as he closed the bathroom door, Rory sat there with her mouth breathing, how did he manage to do that, he just pulled away, he never pulled away, he never could pull away, but he did, Rory glared at where he stood before he went into the bathroom, she wrapped the blanket around her waist and walked over to her bag to grab a pair of pajama pants, ten minutes later Tristan came out of the bathroom "So I have to go to the club early, make sure everything's set up, so I've arranged a car to come pick you up before the party" he said casually as he came out of the bathroom, Rory glared at him, "Don't pout" he teased her "You do it to me all the time" he said kissed her quickly, "I'll see you in an hour or so" he whispered before kissing her again, she sighed loudly once he left the room, she went into the closet and grabbed the dress
She looked at it and grinned, two could play this game he was playing, and she knew exactly how she was going to do it
"So we're not doing the plan anymore" Louise reassured that she heard Rory correctly as they sat in the back of a limo, why was Rory so surprised that when Tristan said he would send a car that he meant a limo
Rory shook her head, "No, we're not"
"Yet you're still wearing the dress" Louise stated
Rory nodded her head, "So why aren't we doing the plan anymore?" Paris asked
"Because Tristan said it wasn't worth it" Rory explained
"I still don't know why you told him" Paris said with her arms crossed, "It was the perfect plan"
"Not if it meant jeopardizing my relationship" Rory stated
Paris shrugged, "Yeah I guess not, you were never going to go through with it anyways"
The limo came to a sudden stop, and the driver opened the door, the four girls got out of the car and walked into the club together, like always there were people dancing, and sitting, and drinking, the music was loud, and the lights were dimmed "So if Rory disappears, it's because Tristan realized she isn't wearing underwear with that dress" Madline laughed when they got into the club, Rory looked at her shocked, "That dress shows lines, even with a thong underneath"
"Well at least we'll know she's in good hands" Louise commented, obviously not surprised by Madline's comment
The four of them stood there in a line for a second; "I see Jess" Madline smiled as she walked off
"And there's Logan" Louise grinned
Rory and Paris just stood still, "So no underwear really?" Paris asked and Rory blushed, "Well you just officially confirmed that you're having sex tonight" Paris laughed, "Got to go, see my boy toy tonight, because I too will be having sex tonight" and she walked off with a giant grin on her face
Rory walked up the third level and watched over the banister as different people interacted and danced and drank, she was definitely a people watcher, it fascinated her the things that people did when they thought no one was looked, she felt two strong arms snake around her waist, "You look incredible" he whispered in her ear, biting it softly
She turned in his arms, "Wait till you see what's under it" she said gripping his tie
"What's under it?" He questioned curiously running one of his fingers casually over the slit in the front of her dress
"Nothing" Rory said simply
Tristan looked at her still, he didn't make any movements, "I have a VIP room upstairs" he said suddenly, pulling her closer
"Down boy" she laughed, "I don't plan on leaving just yet, I just wanted to let you know" She said is mischief in her eye
He groaned, "Pay back for earlier" he asked, and she nodded, he looked over her shoulder, "What if I go make up to you not what I didn't do earlier" he asked anxiously
Rory shook her head, "You wanted to play, so I'll play"
"Well there they are" Rory heard a familiar voice coming up to them, "I definitely had to see it for myself, the power couple of New Haven" Caleb held two drinks in his hand, Tristan stiffened "You know I never thought, that with the way you were in high school that you would ever settle down, but I mean with a beaut like Rory, how could you not" he said looking over at Rory
Rory noticed Tristan's hands tightened on the banister behind her, "Don't you think you've had enough, the night hasn't even started" Rory told Caleb
"Oh Rory" he snarled, "You were so nice when I met you yesterday night, you know when Tristan wasn't there"
Rory glared at him, and Tristan's hands kept getting tighter and tighter on the banister, "Yeah well, that was before I realized what an ass you actually were"
Caleb stood there with two cups, "Is she talking for you now Tristan, or are you going to let her do all the work, what's the deal between the two of you, you pleasure her during sex and she does all your talking"
"At least I'm having sex" Tristan said to Caleb rudely, "When's the last time you had a girlfriend that I haven't already dated"
Rory closed her eyes, "Don't you mean slept with, I mean seriously Tristan, you never dated anyone" Caleb said back "You knew that didn't you Rory"
"What the hell is going on" Jake said coming up behind Caleb
Caleb shrugged, "Nothing, me and Tristan were just doing some catching up"
"Yeah I'm sure" Jake said sarcastically, "Caleb let's get you another drink" as Jake turned Caleb around and walked him down to the next level
Tristan finally breathed, "Hey" Rory said touching his face, "Look at me" she said moving his head to look directly at her "No harm done" she whispered to him
"He's an ass" Tristan told her, anger seeping through his voice, "I was going to kill him"
"Well I'm glad you didn't" Rory smiled up at him, she held his head in her hands, "Just try to relax, for me" she whispered the last part
Tristan took a deep breath and lifted his head towards the roof "So we were going to get you home" Tristan said, the tone in his voice had changed, he didn't sound angry he sounded calm
Rory grinned up at him and shook her head, "I don't think that was the plan"
He looked down at her, before pushing his body into hers, "Please" he begged, as his hands ran up and down her sides
Rory shook her head again, "I'm not ready to go"
"But before…" he stuttered, "You said you weren't, and you knew that would make me want to" he whined
Rory laughed, and then shrugged, "I know what I said" she said knowingly "But I'm still not ready to go"
Tristan began kissing her neck, and she sighed, bringing her hands up to his neck and running her ringers along the back of his neck, he growled against her skin "How much longer?" he grumbled against her skin
She laughed, "It's your party" she told him pulling away from him "And I just got here"
Tristan stood up straight, "They don't need me here"
"Yeah because that worked out so well the last time" Rory teased
"Alright fine, we'll stay" he told her looking over the edge at the amount of people dancing on the floor, "But we are having sex tonight" he told her bluntly, her mouth draped open "And by tonight I mean before 12, I don't care how long you want to stay here, I'll have you right on that couch over there" he told her pointing his finger, Rory was extremely speechless, she found absolutely no words, her mind was blank, "So you decide when you want to go" he said as he pulled her flush against him, molding their bodies together, "Because I want you, and I don't care who fucking knows it"
Rory just stared at him with wide eyes, seriously did he just say that in a normal toned voice where everyone around them could here, "I'll let you know" she said finally
Tristan just smirked, "You do that"
Rory stood looking at him, and she laughed and shook her head, "Let's get a drink" she said suddenly, and Tristan looked down at her
"Really?" he questioned
Rory nodded, "But let me order okay?"
Tristan held his stare, his eyes filled with question, "Alright" he said
"Good" Rory said as he grabbed his hand and walked down the stairs "Hey Finn" Rory smiled as she leaned on the bar
"Love" he said looking her over "You clean up nice" he said tilting his head to the side
Rory smiled and looked up at Tristan, who was sending Finn glares, "Thank you"
Finn nodded, and looked at Tristan and winked, "What can I get for you?" he asked them
"Uh can we get two tequila shots please" Rory answered him
Tristan and Finn both looked at her surprised, "Seriously?" they said in unison
Rory nodded her head, "Why not, this night needs the edge taken off of it anyways"
"Alright, well I'll get three, I want in on this one" Finn said walking to the wall of alcohol and grabbing the bottle of tequila
"Tequila? Really?" Tristan asked from behind her
Rory nodded, "Why not, you have to live a little"
"Alright" Finn interrupted, placing three shot glasses down "Shit I forgot the salt and limes" he said as he turned to grab them
"Finn stop, we don't need those" Rory stopped him
Finn looked over at Tristan, with a confused look, and Tristan turned to look at Rory, "Have you ever had straight tequila?" he asked her
Rory shook her head, "Nope, but there's a first time for anything" Rory said lifting up a shot glass, Tristan and Finn still continued to stare at her, "Are you going to do one with me, or am I going to have to do all three" Finn looked at Tristan as he leaned forward and grabbed a glass, "Dugrey" Rory said innocently, "Don't make me do this alone" she said tilting her head towards the glass sitting on the bar, Tristan sighed and picked up the glass, Rory jumped in place, as he put the glass in the air, she clinked her glass with Tristan's and then with Finn's and Finn clinked his with Tristan's, Rory took a deep breath before shooting the glass into her mouth, Tristan and Finn waited for her reaction before they took their shots, and they laughed hysterically at the look on her face, it was the grossest thing that she had ever tasted, it was worse than eating dirt or tar, she almost didn't swallow it
"Bad?" Finn asked still laughing
"Words don't even describe" Rory said holding her hand over her mouth, "You guys have to do it" Rory said pointing at them
Tristan and Finn shrugged, and shot the shots back, without so much as a disgusted face, they just chugged it back, no reactions, no look of regret on their faces "That's not very good tequila" Finn said calmly, Tristan nodded his head in agreement, "We need to try a different kind"
"Yeah" Tristan said looking at the shot glass, "I'll get on that tomorrow, say there's none left"
Finn nodded, "Yeah good Idea"
Rory glared at the both of them, "What?" they both said
"I hate you" she said crossing her arms
They laughed, "RORY!" Madline and Louise shouted at her
"Listen" Madline said happy, Rory listened to what song was on 'The Lazy Song' was on the speakers Rory smiled, "We have to dance" Madline said pulling her arm
Rory nodded her head and followed them down to the dance floor, she waved behind her, "What's gotten into that girl?" Finn asked leaning on the bar "Shots and dancing without being forced"
Tristan sat on one of the stools and shrugged "Must be because she doesn't have anything on under that dress"
Finn looked at him suddenly, "Is that the black dress Madline wore to that one party like 2 years ago?" Finn asked remembering the dress now, "The one where she slipped and she fell out almost completely"
Tristan nodded his head "That'd be the one, get me a beer"
"Is she killing you yet?" Finn asked curiously, taking the cap off of a beer and handing it to Tristan
Tristan took a drink, "She's been killing me since the first day I met her" Tristan said as he watched over the banister as Rory and her friends danced, so freely, not caring if anyone was looking
Finn watched him watch her, "You leaving pretty quick?" he asked her knowingly
Tristan looked back at him, "As soon as I can get her to go" he said with a smirk on his face
"Get on that" Finn said as he wiped a glass clean, "Go grab her now"
"I was just going to do that" he took a final drink of his beer before tossing Finn the bottle, "The next time you see Caleb, put an extra shot in whatever he asks for"
"Way ahead of you, tripled his last drink" Finn said grinning Tristan pointed to him as he walked down the stairs, "I already have the oversized girl that I plan on sending him home with tonight" he chuckled as Tristan walked away
The song had ended, and Rory, Madline, and Louise were just dancing now, Rory felt to hands on her arms, "Let's go" Tristan whispered in her ear as he started pulling her off the dance floor, Rory just smiled and let him pull her, she looked back at Madline and Louise and waved, and Madline winked and reminded her about what she had bought, and Louise just watched them walk away a smile on her face, she remained silent as he told the valet to get the limo, and when the limo pulled up he opened the door for her and she crawled in, trying to get in as clean as possible, without revealing too much, as soon as they got in the limo, Tristan quickly shut the privacy panel between them and the driver
"You can't wait like fifteen minutes?" Rory asked him as he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer to him
"Nope" was all he said and his lips were on hers, she reacted instantly, putting her hands on his face as he pulled her onto his lap, one leg on each side so that she was straddling him
"Tristan" she mumbled in his lips, "We don't have enough time to" she said as he kissed her again
Tristan adjusted himself on the seat so that he was directly below him, "Not for that" he said as his hands ran up her thighs, pushing her dress upwards, she pulled away from his mouth and looked at him with an open mouth, she was breathing heavy, as his hands got closer and closer to her center, she moaned as he massaged her inner thigh, putting her head on his shoulder, panting his name, she almost screamed out when his fingers entered her, he didn't hesitate to put two in instantly, her eyes rolled into the back of her head as her hands roamed all over his body, 'just breath' is what she kept telling herself 'if you keep breathing you'll be fine' but her thoughts didn't help at all, her breathing stayed rapid, to the point that she swore she was going to pass out, she was almost at point when the car suddenly stopped, forcing Tristan to jerk forward, he removed his fingers, she whined, and then he kissed her deeply, pulling her dress down in the process, he pulled away and moved to get out of the car, offering her his hand as he stood outside, she looked flustered, her hair was a mess and she could feel the redness on her face, she blushed all the way up the walk, Tristan didn't seem fazed at all, he walked up the drive way with his had placed on her butt as he held her in place as she walked, when they got inside he slammed her against the door and kissed her feverously, she had no idea how she was going to make it through the night, at the rate they were going she would be completely dead by midnight, "You need to go change" he mumbled against her lips, not giving her any time to response before he was full on kissing her again, his tongued explored her mouth as she moaned loudly, he pulled away and looked at her and she just shook her head
He just continued to look at her, "Only if you wanted me to" she said playing with his tie, catching up on her breathing
Tristan's breathing was just as heavy, "I wouldn't mind seeing it" he whispered to her
Rory looked up at him teasingly, "You going to let me go long enough for me to change"
"I was thinking about it" Tristan whispered as he rubbed circles along her stomach
Rory ran her hand along the length of his body, stopping right at his pants line, he groaned involuntarily, "Give me a couple minutes" she told him seductively as she pushed him away lightly, and turned to walk up the stairs, fixing her dress as she walked. When she got up to Tristan's room she grabbed the bag quickly from under the bed and walked straight to the bathroom, she pulled her outfit out of the bag and held it up in front of her, "It's for him, not for you" she whispered to herself as she took off the price tag, she then took off her dress and slid into the ensemble. While Rory was in the bathroom Tristan had made his way up the stairs and was now sitting on the bed
"Mare" He called "You almost done" he said and waited for her response
"You have to promise not to laugh" she yelled from the bathroom
"I hardly think I'm going to laugh" Tristan mumbled to himself, "I won't" he told Rory
"Pinky swear" she told him
Tristan sighed, "I pinky swear, now get your ass out here" Rory stood on the other side of the door and took a deep breath before she opened the bathroom door and walked out, Tristan turned his head and froze, "Holy hell" he whispered to himself at the girl that was standing before him
"So" Rory asked nervously standing before him in almost nothing "What do you think?"
Tristan just continued to stare, his mouth made shapes as if he were going to say something, but the words he was thinking didn't fit what he was feeling, he scratched his head as he stood up and walked over her, he went on instinct so he kissed her, he held her head in his hands and kissed her, "Beautiful, magnificent, unbelievable" he said everything he was thinking
"So you like it?" she said pulling away from him
"Fuck yeah" he said to her before picking her up and walking her over to the bed, he laid her down gently, he ran his hand along her face, tucking her hair behind her ear, "Words can't describe how much I love you right now" he whispered to her
Rory smiled "I love you too"
"This outfit" he said as he played with one of the frills, "Its hot" he said with a smirk on his face
"You think I pull it off?" Rory asked nervously
Tristan scanned her body, "It's definitely not what I thought it would look like, but I think it works" he said grinning as he kissed her softly, she had no objections to him deepening the kiss, he massaged her skin lightly "So beautiful" he whispered as he kissed her skin, she relaxed and closed her eyes as he kissed down her body, running her hands through his hair, he reached around her back and unhooked the bra portion of her outfit, and slid it down her shoulders lightly, his lips following the path that the bra fell, she let out a long breath as he massaged her right breast, she slowly moved to take off his tie, and the proceeded to undo the buttons of his shirt sliding it off of his shoulders, she kissed his shoulder softly, he kissed her again as she moved her hands to his belt and quickly undid it, loosening it the belt he undid his pants and he slid them down his legs, he continued to kiss her, running his tongue along her lips, and then he moved his hands to her panties, and slowly slid them down her legs, she moaned as he felt her, he quickly moved off of her and grabbed a condom, he pulled his boxers off and slid it on, he positioned himself "I love you" he whispered, he spread her legs lightly
"I love you to" she said with her hands on his shoulders, their lips connected as he entered her, they moaned together as he moved inside of her, their lips stayed together until they both reached their max, coming at the same time, Tristan groaned as he rolled off of her, covering her with his giant blanket, he pulled her into his side, and she put her head on his chest, he rested his chin against the top of her head, "thank you" she whispered to him smiling
He glanced down at her and grinned, "Thank you really"
She looked up at him slightly, "I didn't know what else to say" Rory said covering her face
"We've had sex before Mare" Tristan said casually
"Yeah" Rory stopped, "But we haven't done that before"
Tristan ruffled his eyebrows, "Yes we have"
"Not like that" Rory said as her eyes widen "It was nice" she said simply
"Sure" Tristan paused "Nice" he smirked
"I love you" Rory whispered laying her head back on his chest
"I love you too" Tristan said kissing the top of her head, he reached over to shut the light off. Rory sat up suddenly, Tristan let her go slightly "What?" Tristan asked worried
"I need to get dressed" She said moving to get out of bed
"You need to what?" Tristan said stopping her
"I am not waking up with Jake over my head, and I have nothing on" Rory said pulling the blanket with her
Tristan flung himself back on the bed "Mare come on he's not even coming here tomorrow"
"But he might" Rory said with big eyes
"You're being ridiculous" he said as Rory pulled on a pair of shorts
"I am not" Rory told him as she pulled a t-shirt on, "It was embarrassing"
Tristan was too tired to argue with her, and he was too tired to care, "Okay fine" he yawned as Rory crawled back into the bed to the position she was in before, "Goodnight" Tristan said softly with tired eyes
"Goodnight" Rory whispered against his chest as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, she was happy they had waited that long, the moment was perfect it was perfect, she had never felt so beautiful, he made her feel beautiful, like she was the only girl in the world, that's how special he made her feel, and she even started it, he liked her outfit, both of them, and she proved to herself that she was capable of being seductive, and that she was sexy when she needed to be, she no longer felt like the innocent, shy girl, although she knew in the morning that she would probably feel that way again, but for right now she was in the place that she wanted to be, and she was happy.
