First Dates, Sweet Kisses
Part One
Rory's
thoughts:
Today is our first date. Tristan got out of
the hospital two days ago and well I haven't seen him since. He called me
yesterday and asked what I would be doing today. After I told him nothing he
said be ready at twelve. It's ten minutes to twelve. I'm nervous. But why?
Because we love each other and it's our first real date.
Tristan's
thoughts:
I got the okay from my doctor this morning.
My arm hurts, but not too bad. I hope Rory likes where we are going. She seemed
a bit surprised when I told her I'd pick her up at twelve. Ten minutes, I'm
almost there, I haven't seen her for two days. I've really missed her.
*Ding
Dong*
'He's
here.' Rory thought, as she tried to calmly walk to the door.
"
Rory?" her mom asked.
"
Yeah?"
"
Can I meet him?"
"
Mom!"
"
Please, I'll be good."
"
Fine."
"
Yippee!"
Lorelai jumped from her position on the top
of the stairs and ran down them.
"
Hold on!"
"
What?" Rory asked as the doorbell rang again.
"
I'll answer it. Go in the kitchen."
"
What?"
"
Do it."
"
Fine."
Turning on her heel, Rory walked into the
kitchen. Fixing her shorts, she glanced at her image reflected in the glass
door. The blue tank top set off her blue eyes and fading summer tan, plus the
white shorts showed off her legs. Bending down to fix her K- Swiss slide on,
she heard her mom talking to Tristan.
Ringing the doorbell once again, Tristan
jumped back, when the door swung open to reveal Lorelai.
"
Hey, Lorelai."
"
Tristan, she'll be right out."
"
That's okay."
"
So, how's your arm?"
"
Pretty good."
"
So."
"
So."
"
Where are you taking her?"
"
Somewhere special."
"
Such as?"
"
She can hear us."
"
Oh."
Lorelai took a moment to look at Tristan.
His hair was in his usual 'I just got up' style, the top button of his shirt
was left undone and you could see the shells of his necklace peeking up from
his tan skin. Smiling she looked at Tristan's face once again before speaking.
"
Thank you."
"
For what?" Tristan asked, confusion written all over his face.
"
For saving her life. For loving her. For being there for her, despite
everything. The list could go on and on."
"
It's nothing. I'd do it all the same if it meant she wouldn't get hurt in any
way."
"
You really are something."
"
Can you explain that?"
"
Well, first you start off by making her life hell, then you become friends and
now you love her."
"
Is that a bad thing?"
"
Yes and no. When it all started out I didn't like you. But Rory saw something
that everyone else missed."
"
I know and I'm thankful for that everyday."
"
Me too."
"
Why?"
"
You make her happy."
"
I'm glad."
**The
kitchen**
'
Okay it's been six minutes. I think I can go out now.' Rory thought.
With one more glance at her reflection, Rory
opened the door and walked out into the living room.
"
Hey."
"
Hey Rory…You look great."
"
Thanks. As my mother would say, someone hit you with the pretty stick."
"
Are you ready to go?"
"
Yeah. Bye mom, see you later."
"
Bye Lorelai." Tristan said.
"
Have fun you two, be home by twelve."
"
Bye mom. I love you."
"
I love you too Rory. Bye Tristan."
As they walked out of the door Tristan
reached for Rory's hand. Once they reached the car, Tristan opened the door,
but as she was getting ready to climb in, he pulled her back down.
"
Tristan?"
"
Sorry Rory. I need you to put this on." Tristan said holding out a blindfold.
"
What?"
"
The blindfold. I need you to put it on."
"
Why?"
"
Rory!"
"
Fine, Fine. Give it to me."
"
I'll help you."
Rory turned towards Tristan and watched him
lean closer. Before placing the blindfold over her eyes, he whispered 'I love
you' and kissed her lightly on the mouth. After making sure she couldn't see,
he helped her in the car and walked over to his side.
"
Tristan where are we going?"
"
It's a surprise."
"
Please!"
"
Rory."
"
Please."
"
No."
"
Please. A hint?"
"
Fine a hint. It's warm, you'll like it and it's fun. Happy?"
"
No. You really do suck at this hint giving thing."
"
Thanks. I love you too."
"
HaHa. Really funny. Do you always blindfold people?"
"
No just you."
"
Shut up and drive."
"
Okay. Let me turn on some music."
Tristan turned on the radio and glanced at
Rory who was softly singing the song. Smiling, he turned back to the road and
drove into Hartford.
