Part 11: Late Night
He wandered into Luke's. "Hey Jess," he said. "Smart ass from Chilton," Jess replied with a nod of his head. "It's Tristan," he said flatly. "Okay then Tristan take care of her okay?"
"Why?" he spat out bitterly. "Because well you're dating her right?"
"Not even close," he mumbled. "I'm sorry," apologized Jess. "I wish she was," he admitted wistfully. "What's the problem?"
"Her boyfriend,"
"They suck don't they?"
"You could say that,"
"Rory was dating bagboy--,"
"Wait, you called him that too?"
"Yeah and well I got rid of him because Rory fell in love with me,"
"I tried. We kissed during sophomore year in February and she got back together with bag boy in June,"
"You remember the month?"
"It was the best kiss I ever had but don't tell Rory or her ego will inflate,"
"I don't have a big ego!" she exclaimed when she entered the diner. "He's the one with the big ego," explained Rory to Jess. "Which gained him the smart ass title," commented Jess with a smirk. "He's just as bad at smirking as you are,"
"But you love my smirks!" protested Tristan with his usual smirk. "Stop!" came Rory's exasperated shout. "One coffee to go please," she requested. "last one for the night," came Jess's reply. "Why?"
"I have to go home sometime tonight you know,"
"But you live in New York."
"I'm staying at the Crap Shack," (A/N: over the years Luke & Lorelai added additions to the house so each kid could have a room so there's Jess's room, Shane's room, Landon's room and now Tory's room.. they're house must be huge if I think about it!) She took her coffee, while drinking it she caught a glance from Tristan. Her breath caught in her throat, which really wasn't a good thing since she had coffee in her mouth. She sputtered sloshing the coffee in the cup onto the floor. She was choking on coffee. Quickly she spit it out right onto Tristan's shirt. "Oh god Tristan.I'm so sorry!" she cried grabbing a handful of napkins. As she tried to make the stain disappear something made her pull away. It could have been the look he was giving her full of compassion, need, want and longing. She dropped the napkins and instead of stooping down to pick them up she ran out of the diner. "Tristan?" Jess asked concerned for him. "She ran out," he said softly. "Again," he sighed and shook his head. "She's scared," Jess said sympathetically. "I know. but she's dating Andy,"
"Are you sure?" the two boys cleaned up the mess silently. Tristan busy thinking about Rory and Jess thinking about a girl he had just realized he had fallen in love with even more than Rory. Ren lived in New York and he couldn't wait to get back to there.
She had run away from Tristan, again. "Gilmore, you don't have a reason NOT to fall for Tristan," Suddenly she realized Tristan's jacket was clutched to her chest. Slipping it on she could faintly smell his cologne. She remembered the smell of his cologne all those eight years ago when they kissed. Walking around it suddenly dawned on her what to write for her article. She began scribbling furiously. After an hour or more she was finished. She dashed home only to bump into Tristan and Jess whom were watching some television. She said a quick hello to the boys and continued onto her room. She then went into the room quickly turning on her laptop she had gotten for her sixteenth birthday. She typed the article quickly and immediately sent it to Paris. Within minutes (which was a record for Paris) the phone rang. "Hello?" Rory answered on the first ring. "RORY!"
"Hey Paris," replied Rory wildly amused at Paris's voice. "Are you sure?"
"Do you have room for it tomorrow?" she asked skirting the question so she wouldn't lose her nerve. "I'll find space,"
"Thanks," hanging up the phone she continued to stay on the computer so she wouldn't have to bump into Jess or Tristan. Around midnight Tristan came into her room saying, "You know Rory." but quickly stopped himself when he saw Rory asleep at her laptop. He smiled at it Rory falling asleep at her computer. Suddenly he had this ache. The ache of wanting to do this ever night, he sighed and carefully picked her up and put her to bed. Draping a blanket over her he kissed her softly on her forehead letting a tingle spread across his lips. He smiled sadly wishing Rory would break up with Andy already. He flicked off the light after one last glance at the sleeping figure. "Please Rory fall in love with me," he whispered before leaving her doorway.
