Ch 10

"Mare, come on we're going to be late and I don't want deal with your grandmother without at least three drinks in me" Tristan complains outside our private bathroom in the main house at the Dugrays. The elders refuse to let us get dressed in the pool house. Just another way to make sure we do as we are told. He's been doing this for the last half hour and it's irritating.

"Tristan if you don't stop yelling, I'm going to hit you and then you can explain to your mother that you are a huge pain in butt and that's why you have a black eye" I yell walking out of the bathroom finally finished with my hair and makeup.

"Well if your grandmother wasn't so insistent on a pre party evaluation, I could calm down. They have been yelling commands at us all day and I want to hit something. Why does Emily have to be such a nag?" he yells.

"Right like this whole thing is her fault, you're father isn't any better. Every time I walk by he's like I'm watching you. You will not ruin this young lady. You will do what you're told" I scream.

"No, it's your mother's fault for running away 21 years ago and now they making us suffer. They want to make sure you don't do the same thing" he screams at me and that's one step too far. I slap him across the face.

"I hate you" I yell storming out of the bedroom and I hear him punch something.

"Rory, that's unladylike" grandma scold me as I stomp down the stairs.

"Grandma, leave me alone" I snap walking past her and to the bar. She stunned but continues to the kitchen to yell at the maids.

"Vodka on the rocks" I state and the bartender looks at me. "Now" I demand and he pours it. As soon as he hands it to me, I down it. "One more" I state and he does it.

"Mare" I hear from behind me.

"Tristan, do me and yourself a favor and stay away from me unless we have to be next to each other. I'm so pissed at you for that comment that I can't be held liable for what I will do. You may not make it to the end of the night" I state without turning around.

"I'm sorry, you know I don't mean it Mare, I love Lorelai. It's just dealing with all of them in the same room" he says touching my arm and flinch.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it this time Dugray" I state grabbing my glass and walking away. I need to cool off. It's been hell here since we arrived home from New York. Rachel, Francine and Grandma has been on my back about wedding details to tell everyone tonight. Derek and grandpa has wanted to talk about pre-nups and Janlan is the only normal one. We barely got five hours of sleep last night before grandma barged into the pool house at 6 am with last minute details for this party. It's been no stop all day. I barely saw Tristan and when I did it was in the hall. He hates this just as much as I do. Why can't they just slow down a little? We kept our distance for a good two hours until grandma demanded us to greet guests at the beginning of the party. I placed the society smile on my face and he looked at me. He knows I hate this, the act of being the perfect society granddaughter and fiancé. "Excuse us" he says taking my hand after we said hello to Colin and the gang. Surprisingly Logan was there. He pulled me into the side den that Derek normally locks to avoid sub parties. He locks the door behind us and turns to me.

"You need to forgive me. I can't make it though tonight with a pissed off Gilmore. I will never survive" he states.

"I already did, an hour ago" I smirk.

"Then why the cold shoulder" he questions coming closer.

"Because you were right, they are doing all this because of what mom and dad did. I'm just tired of playing their game. Why can't they see that we're doing all this for them? It's like no matter what he do it's not good enough. I'm sick of it" I say and he hugs me.

"Then let's change it on them" he says caressing my cheek and I look at him.

"What do you have in mind, Dugray?" I smirk as he relays the plan he thought of and I smile. Leave it to Tristan to think of running away.

"Do you think we can get away with that?" I questions and he smirks.

"Come on Gilmore, you forget who you are talking to, all we have to do is get through tonight and in a few hours will be gone" he winks heading to the door.

We spend the rest of the night pretending to be the perfect couple for the elders. Playing the part that is Oscar worthy, the small kisses, the dancing; the speech to the guests, everything they wanted. We circulated like we were taught and made small talk. We only spend a few minutes with our friends because it will seem like we didn't want this party. There were no comments from them, they thought their plan worked. It was only Mom, Dad and Janlan who saw what we were doing.

"Okay spill kid what's with the body snatcher act the two of you are doing" Mom questions pulling me to a corner close to the end of the party.

"What are you talking about? This is exactly what everyone wants, you included. Tristan and I together, being the perfect couple you all know. Isn't that what you wanted when you called them? You got your wish Mom, I'll marry Tristan and will be happy" I state kissing her cheek and walking back to Tristan. I really should have told her but payback is so sweet.

"Everything okay sweetheart" Tristan questions me placing a soft kiss on my lips.

"Nothing I can't handle darling" I smile at him and then the Dugrays. "I do love that dress Rory" Rachel says and nod.

"Tristan is so helpful while shopping, he choose the shoes" I state looking at the black Manolo's on my feet.

"Do you think I could dance with my soon to be cousin" Colin interrupts us.

"If you promise to return her" Tristan winks at Colin and the Dugrays and my grandparents laugh.

"Of course" Colin says guiding me to the dance floor.

"You look great Gilmore, but what's up with the miss society act. We all know you're good at it, but you have surpassed Finn on the acting" he questions and I laugh.

"Just giving them what they want McCrea" I say. "But it's not what you want or Tristan. I know my cousin and he wants the real you not this Emily puppet" he states.

"It was his idea" I smirk and he looks shocked and glances back at Tristan.

"You two are tricky that's for sure. I expect this from him but you are a different story. How long are the two of you going to keep this up" he laughs.

"Until this drag of a party is over" I say as the song ends and Tristan comes up to us.

"We can leave, Emily said that we shouldn't stay until the end" he states and smile genuinely at him.

"Let's go" I state and Colin laughs.

"Behave you two" he laughs.

"Maybe" Tristan and I say together before sliding out the side door to the pool house.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

We head to the pool house and change out of these clothes into something more comfortable for traveling. We grab the suitcases that are packed for Monday and Tristan brings them out to the limo he called earlier in the night. I excused myself from the party around 9 when I met with the messenger service and handing him the letters for the families to be delivered at 7am tomorrow. That covers the questioning about our whereabouts. We need to do this for us. We need to get away from them and show them that they can't control us. "Ready Mare" Tristan says coming back from loading the trunk.

"Are you sure we can do this" I question unsure if this is the right thing.

"Do you want to spend a summer trapped on a yacht with both our families doing what we are told or have summer to do whatever we please" he questions coming closer and taking my hands.

"You're right" I smile and grab my purse and cell. I glance at Tristan and then at the phone before leaving it on the counter.

"Good call" he says pulling his out of his pocket and placing it next to mine.

"Let's go" he smiles and we leave.

Did you see that coming? Or where you surprised? I wonder where they are going?
