*Author's Note: Hey everyone! I hope you all still remember this story! School is just pure torture....I haven't had anytime to write I'm so sorry. Thanks to everyone who reviewed the story I really hope you like it! A comment was made about making a prequel, if I get enough inspiration I might right a story but right now my goal is to just finish this one!*

~Back at the cabin~

"Shhh don't wake them up in case they are sleeping." Rory whispered to him as they were walking through the door.

"Too late." Lorelai tried to whisper just like her daughter.

"Mom, what are you still doing up?" Rory asked innocently.

"Getting coffee of course," She raised her mug showing them, "So did you guys have fun tonight? It's kind of early, it's only 11:30."

"Yeah we had fun, we went and saw some movie and then we were just walking around!" Tristan supplied.

"Yeah, we passed by a pool on the way back, and we were just gonna grab our swimsuits and head back if that's OK!"

"Of course as long as this cute boyfriend of yours," She said while pinching his cheek like a young child, "is a perfect gentleman around my only daughter."

"Lorelai, I thought you knew me better than that." He smirked and put his arm around Rory. "And of course I would never do anything to hurt this wonderful girl."

"Hey people I'm standing right here. Don't make me blush!" Rory added.

"OK, well kids have fun. I've got to get back to my Lukey. He may of thought I left him for this wonderful pot...derr...cup of coffee." And with that Lorelai left.

"Alright! Lets have some fun and swim!" Tristan was happy Lorelai was letting them. *But I'm already 18 and Rory will be soon so she should trust us with more responsibility anyways.*

"Tristan? Do you still want to go?" Rory asked him questioningly. He looked over at her and she already had her bathing suit on even though she was trying to cover it up under her tank top and shorts she was wearing.

"Wow, was I standing here so long that you've already changed?" *That's something else I love about her, she doesn't take forever to get read. All the other girls I've dated...No I promised myself not to think about any other girl except Rory. She is the only one I have ever cared about.*

"Yep, now change before the pools close. Scoot scoot scoot." Rory pushed him to the other bedroom to change.

"Ohhh, you gonna stay in here while I change? Why didn't you just ask?" That smirk was slowly appearing at his lips.

"In your dreams hon!" Rory shot back.

"How did you know about those dreams? Did you hear me screaming your name again?" Responded Tristan.

"Umm hmmm," was all Rory said as she shut the door leaving him in the room alone. That was all she could say because she was speechless and blushing like a cherry!

In just a few minutes Tristan came out of their room seeing Rory sitting on the couch in the living room. She looked extremely comfortable but he wanted to go swimming to get ready for the swim team next year and to be with Rory.

Rory looked over to see Tristan in his Baggies and his wife beater on. One word was running through Rory's mind **SEXY**.

"OK let's go," they both said in unison. They both laughed and walked out the door.

~Pool~

Rory was sitting on a chair and Tristan had already got himself relaxed in the pool. He was lonely though! He had his arms draped on the cement outside of the pool staring at Rory.

"Come on Rory! You have a gorgeous body get in the pool! I won't laugh at you. I mean...have I ever laughed at you?" He smiled looking questioningly at her.

"Hmmm...let me think. NO, you've never laughed at me or made me so mad at you...well except for that one sophomore year!" Her eyes were getting fiery.

"Awww, Mary, you still remember those days."

She scooped her hand in the water and splashed him with it for that comment. Once he regained his composure, he saw how she was leaning in the pool quite a lot. So he did the only thing that could possibly be done at this moment. He reached out and pulled her in. *She's gonna kill me but I just had to.*

And it was true she did get quite mad but it was worth it!

"Ahhhhhhhh!" And with that she was flying into the pool and surround by water!

When she finally surfaced she screamed, "You are truly evil."

"I know! Don't you love it?" He asked her.

"Hey guys!" It was Chloe and Adam again.

Tristan still didn't like the idea of those two! They always seemed to show up where ever him and Rory were.

"Hi!" Rory said being her normally nice self.

"I see you two had the same idea as us to go swimming!" Chloe said all to happy about the situation.

"Yeah I guess so..." said Tristan looking glum at the other people who invaded their privacy in the late night swim.

"Mind if we join you?" Adam asked but before Tristan could object, the couple was already in the pool. *Oh good this should be fun* Tristan thought

******

In a short while Rory was bored. Tristan was swimming laps so she was forced to keep talking to Chloe and Adam. Adam was a lot more enjoyable than Chloe on speaking terms.

Rory could tell Tristan was aggravated, she did learn something from all those swim meets, just by the way he was swimming explained that he was not happy at all. She felt that it was her fault he wasn't having a good trip. *I'm going to make it up to him tomorrow when we spend the day off the ship. Not Chloe or Adam or anyone for that matter will mess up our day together.*

Finally Chloe and Adam politely said goodnight and let Rory and Tristan go back to the cabin.

******

"I've missed you!" Rory smiled up at him from her bed later that night.

"How so? I've been with you every waking moment of the day." Tristan sat down on the corner of her bed, staring at her in her pajamas lying down comfortably.

"You kind of spaced out on me down at the pool with your swimming. I was left all alone with Adam and 'what's her name'." She said.

"What's her name? You're great with names. HAHA!" Tristan laughed.

"Hey! If I recall, you couldn't remember my name for almost a year!"

"Yeah, well I had to get to you somehow! You were just too naive to notice how much I longed for you!" Tristan gave her an evil grin.

"Uh huh, I guess I must have some smarts in me since I'm sitting here with you now!" Rory was satisfied with her answer.

Rory moved over to the far side of the bed and leaned back against her pillow, and turned the TV on. Tristan crawled up beside her. He took the TV remote out of her hand and tossed it aside. He was inches away from her now. Both of their heartbeats quickened at the perfect moment shared between them. He brushed his lips lightly against her forehead and was about to say good night and go to bed. But before he had a chance, she pulled him down and pressed her lips against his. She put her hands around his neck and he rubbed his fingers against the softness of her cheeks.

He pulled away unwillingly but he was out of breath as was she. With that he got up and walked over to his bed only a few feet away. Both people were smiling thinking it was the perfect way to end the night.

Rory watched him sit on his bed and turn away from her to pull his shirt off. *His dark tan body is more perfect looking than ever* she thought to herself.

He turned around, seeing her staring at him made him smile. "Do you think Lorelai would mind if we pulled the two beds together!" He started laughing showing off his genuine smile.

Rory took a pillow and threw it at him with a direct hit. "Go to sleep DuGrey!"

"Good night, Rory." And with that he shut off the lamp and went to bed.
