(Rory's point of view)
After Tristan left I cried myself to sleep. I've missed Tristan more recently than I did when he lived in Texas. I know he's worried about getting his new bakery off the ground. I just want to feel like I'm important to him too.
I got up early and finished my articles. I wasn't sure what I should do. I was sorry for the way I acted. I should've tried to talk to Tristan. I still couldn't believe he just up and left during a fight. He can't just leave when we fight.
I ended up going over to Jess and Chrissie's. Chrissie had already left for work. I told Jess about what happened. He said I already knew what I had to do. I quickly went and turned my articles in.
"Tristan?" I questioned as I called his cell.
"Rory?" He questioned back sounding shocked.
"Do you have some time to talk?" I asked trying not to start crying again.
"In person?" Tristan asked.
"Yes if it isn't too much trouble." I answered as my voice trembled.
"Where do you want to meet?" Tristan asked.
"Anywhere you'd like is fine." I answered quietly.
"Are you at home?" Tristan asked me.
"Yeah I am." I answered.
"Okay I'll be there soon." Tristan said hanging up.
As soon as I hung up my phone I started to cry again. I was already in my sweats. I decided not to change. I did brush my hair and teeth again. Then I washed my face again to look like I hadn't been crying.
"Rory?" Tristan yelled from the other room.
"Hi." I said softly.
"Oh Mare come here." Tristan said as he pulled me into his arms I started to cry again.
"I'm sorry." I sobbed.
"Shh it's my fault too." Tristan said holding me tightly.
He just held me for a long time. I kept crying. It seemed like hours before I calmed down. Tristan pulled away and we both sat down.
"Rory I'm sorry I've been working so much. I am also sorry I walked out. I love you and I am so happy to be here with you." Tristan said.
"I'm sorry too. I've been busy working too. I'm also sorry I've been cranky. I love you too. And Tristan this is your home." I said.
"Can I ask you something?" Tristan questioned.
"Yes anything." I answered.
"Is there a reason why you've been so irritated?" Tristan asked.
"I'm embarrassed." I said blushing.
"I promise I won't laugh." Tristan said.
"I've been having a hard time sleeping next to you." I said blushing again.
"Oh uh you aren't use to sleep with someone in the bed." Tristan said.
"What?" I questioned confused.
"What did you mean?" Tristan asked.
"I meant I love you and I want you." I answered blushing even more.
"Whoa now that wasn't a Mary answer." Tristan said pulling into a kiss.
