Chapter 2 Unwelcome reunions
%*%*%*%*%
Once they had finished their drinks, Tristan grabbed Leigh's hand and dragged her out onto the dance floor. Out on the dance floor everything just came naturally, it was like they had this connection, it was as if they'd never been separated.
After a few minutes of dancing, Tristan was sure that it was his Rory he was dancing with. They would stop every so often to get another drink, but there was never really any talk that went on. Finally, Kyla walked up to Tristan, "Hey, you mind if I borrow Leigh here?"
"Sure," Tristan said, as he and Leigh Ann separated
Kyla grabbed Leigh's arm and pulled her towards the bathroom. They stood there silently until the last person finished washing their hands and left, then Kyla locked the door. "So what's going on here Leigh? I mean, it's rare that you even have anything to drink, let alone let a guy buy you numerous drinks."
"Kyla, can you honestly tell me when the last time I had fun with a guy was? I just want to have a good time tonight and have the headache that'll make me forget why I did all this tomorrow."
"Alright, but I'm worried this guy is only in it for one thing."
"Come on Kyla, we both know I can handle myself in a situation like that."
"Alright."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me."
"Ok, go out there and have a good time then."
"I will." With that Kyla unlocked the door and followed her friend back out to the dance floor. Rory immediately spotted Tristan standing by the bar talking with Josh, Kyle, and Kari. When he saw her, he walked on over to her.
"Well hello again Leigh, how would you like to go outside and get some fresh air? It's getting really stuffy in here."
"Yeah, sounds good to me."
The two left the rest of the group gathered around the bar.
)()()()()()()()()(
"So Kyle," Kyla started out, "You say this Tristan character is a real player, so why are you letting him hang around our precious Leigh Ann so much?"
"I was just talking to him about it, but he says he's not just in this for sex. I can't see how he could decide so quickly, but I believe him, mostly because by now he'd have already danced with more than 15 other girls."
"Ya know, I'm just worried about her, I mean, how many guys has she dated seriously? None, and, I don't know, I guess I'm just afraid she'll get to into it and he'll break her heart."
"Kyla, I think you're reading to much into this, I mean, they've barely even known each other three hours, let's give them at least until the end of the night before you look that far into it."
"Alright, fine I guess," Kyla said, starting to feel defeated, "So tell us about this guy, I mean, we only know his name and his magazine."
"He's a great guy, really he is, he just has women issues. Ever since the 'love of his life' left him years ago, he's never really been the same. I met him after she left him, but he's still hung up on her even after all this time. He loves his work, but he's said he'll never be completely happy until he finds Rory Gilmore."
Kyla nearly spit out her drink after hearing that name. If her memory served her right, that was Leigh Ann's name before she came to Seattle. "Hey guys," she started to say, "How 'bout we just leave those two alone and get back to what we were doing before."
They all agreed and headed back out to the dance floor.
********
Outside, Leigh Ann and Tristan were getting uncomfortable. Both of them were equally afraid of saying the wrong thing and scaring the other off. After around five minutes of silence, Tristan spoke up, "So Leigh, what would you say to going back to my hotel room, you know, and have a nice conversation or something."
Leigh Ann stopped to think about it, "Sure, why not," she said, shrugging her shoulders.
Tristan walked up to the curb to attempt to hail a cab. The two rode in near silence the whole way back to the hotel. When they got inside, it was already well after midnight.
"Tristan, I'm really in no mood to talk, in fact, I doubt I can even make it back to my place, do you mind if I just crash here?" Rory asked, leaning up against the wall.
"I guess, do you want the bed or the floor?" He asked.
"I feel bad, but I don't want to sleep on the floor, do you mind sharing the bed, I mean, it is big enough for the two of us."
"Sure, as long as you're alright with it, I'll go for anything."
"Alright." She said, going into the bathroom. She came out a few moments later, "Hey Tristan, do you have anything I could use as sleeping clothes?"
He walked over to his suitcase and pulled out some running sweats and his Harvard sweatshirt. She took them and came back out a few minutes later in the baggy clothes and noticed he was only wearing boxers. 'He's barely even changed since the last time I saw him.' she thought to herself, and climbed into the big bed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tristan saw Leigh Ann come out of the bathroom in his clothes and he could barely take his eyes off of her. She looked breathtaking in anything she wore, but the fact that they were his clothes just made it all that much better.
He saw her lay down in the bed and went into the bathroom to finish getting ready. As he climbed into bed he felt her roll over to him and he put his arms around her. As soon as he thought she was asleep, he said one final thing to her, "I missed this so much, why did you leave?" With that he let himself drift off to sleep.
############
As soon as she felt Tristan get into bed, she immediately rolled over to him, hoping he would get the hint and she could just fall asleep in his arms. While she was laying there, he started talking quietly, "I missed this so much, why did you leave?" She chocked up, not knowing what to do. She fell asleep wondering what would happen in the morning when they woke up. Did he even know that she heard him? She went to sleep with questions filling her mind. When she woke up, she still felt Tristan's arms around her. She slipped out and looked over at the clock. 5:00. She slipped out of bed, not wanting to deal with the questions he might ask when he woke. She slipped out the door, forgetting to leave a note, and started off towards home.
When she walked through the door, she saw Kyla sitting there on the couch, just staring at her.
"Why didn't you tell me you knew him before?"
Leigh was confused, how did Kyla know about Tristan and her past. She decided to play dumb, " I don't know what you're talking about Kyla."
"Don't do that, there's no point, Kyle told me all about him, and how the only person he ever wanted was 'Rory Gilmore', well Leigh, or should I say, Rory, why didn't I get to hear all about it. Don't I get that sort of treatment as the roommate AND best friend, or was it just not that important?"
Leigh Ann plopped down on the couch, "First off, don't EVER call me Rory, that's part of a life I don't want to remember, which is also why I didn't tell you about Tristan, I never told anybody about it, because that's the one thing I couldn't stand leaving behind. I always wanted to tell you, but I just couldn't, it was too hard for me, I just wanted to forget about him, and I always tried, but I never really succeeded. And why didn't I tell you last night, I have no excuse, I don't. And I'm sorry, but I have no other reasoning, I just didn't want to . Now, if you don't mind, I'm really tired, and I want to go to bed."
"Wait," Kyla stopped her, "What are you doing getting back at 5 in the morning?"
"Don't worry, nothing like that happened, I was just too tired to get a cab home, so I stayed there."
"Alright fine, I buy it, but we are having some major discussion tomorrow afternoon. Now if you don't mind, I've been sitting here since I got home waiting for you, I'm beat, and I'm off to bed."
The two girls headed off to their respected bedrooms and went back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Tristan woke up to the sound of his cell phone going off. "Hello," he answered groggily.
"What've you got so far?" Lorelai asked, not even bothering to greet him.
"What time is it?" He asked, rolling over to grab his watch.
"It's after 6 you know, you should be up with the sun."
"Lorelai, it's easier for you, the sun didn't just get up where you are."
"Alright fine, take the time to wake up. But then I want to know all about last night."
Tristan looked around and noticed his sweat pants on the ground, but there was no sign of Rory, her clothes, or his Harvard sweatshirt.
"Last night, yeah, it's definitely her, she even stayed here."
"You didn't"
"No, I didn't, why would you even think that.?"
"Because that's you Tristan."
"Well, that's not me around her, anyways, she was too tired to make it back to her apartment."
"Is she there now?"
"Uhm, no, sorry, she somehow slipped out while I was asleep."
"This is why you have to be up with the sun Tristan."
"Alright fine, I'll get her number from Kyle and then call you back."
"Ok, ta ta for now Tristan."
"Good bye Lorelai."

End, I kind of switched from person to person a lot at the end there. Review, it makes me happy. Until later
