Chapter Five:

" Hello Mrs. Gilmore." Tristan said.

" What did you just call me?"

" Mrs. Gilmore?" he said confused.

" Don't call me that! Makes me feel old. Call me Lorelai."

" Okay, Lorelai."

" Good. Coffee?"

" Sure."

" Did you two have a good time?"

" Yeah I did. I hope Rory did too."

" I did. Mom how would you like to watch Willy Wonka Sunday?"

"I'd love too! It's a great movie. Let's see we need coffee, candy, and pot tarts for breakfast on Monday." Lorelai said excited.

" I told you it was a great movie. Mom is it alright if Tristan comes?"

" Sure. What do you mean you told him?"

" He's only seen it once."

" Once! What do you mean once!"

" I saw it when I was about nine and I never saw it again."

" That is a disgrace. You have to come on Sunday. I will not allow you to go through the rest of your life without seeing it again. We can even rent some other movies and have a party!" Lorelai exclaimed.

" I'll come, only if Rory wants me too."

" I want you too."

" Okay I'll come. Do you want me to bring anything?"

" Um, mom?"

" Bring yourself and some candy that you like I don't know if you'll like anything we get. Oh and what type of ice cream do you like? Toppings?"

" Vanilla. I like chocolate, sprinkles, and other stuff."

" Good, just like Rory. We'll have to double Rory's usual. Well Rory, I have to get going. It was nice meeting you. See you Sunday Tristan and Rory get home as soon as possible." Her mom said as she winked at Rory.

" Okay mom. Here take the car."

" Okay. See you."

Lorelai walked out of Luke's and got into the jeep. She had many important things on her mind. Like her daughter and her possible new boyfriend and Luke.

'Luke! Why am I thinking about Luke? Oh God! I like him. I have a crush on him. I'm going back to my high school years. What am I going to do? Okay, breathe. Calm down, Lorelai. Thinking happy thoughts. Rory, she's happy, I like the boy. I know he won't break her heart. Luke! What am I going to do?' a panicking Lorelai thought.

" Are you ready to go, Rory?"

" Yeah. Let me go pay and we can leave."

" No, I'll pay."

" You paid for everything else, let me get this."

" No. I'm a gentleman, so I get to pay."

" Fine, whatever you say. Knock yourself out."

" I'll be right back."

Rory watched as Tristan walked up to the counter. ' He is so fine! I hope I get a goodnight kiss. Maybe two! What am I thinking? It's our first date. I hope we go out more. This blind date was a great idea. It was the solution to my so called problem."

" Excuse me? Luke right?" Tristan asked.

" Yeah? More coffee for Rory right?"

" Actually no. We're going to get going and I need to pay."

" It's on the house."

" What?"

" It's on the house."

" Why?"

" This is the first time I've seen Rory happy, I mean really happy, in a week and you did that."

" Me?"

" Yeah she likes you. If you hurt her, so help me God, I will hurt you just like I did to Dean. Her mom will hurt you even more if you break her heart like he did."

" Who's Dean?"

" She didn't tell you? I guess she wouldn't. Dean is her ex-boyfriend. The short version is that he tried to force himself on her and she broke it off with him and the next day I fought him but Lorelai told me to get off him. Then she walked over to him yelled at him then punched him. Hard. So as you can see everyone here cares about her and if you hurt one hair on her head you will face a lot of fury."

" Okay. I get it. I won't hurt her. I promise. Well she is waiting so I've got to go. She has to go tell her mom everything about tonight."

" Here give these to Rory."

" Coffee?"

" They'll need it."

" Oh." Tristan said as he turned and walked back to the table.

" Ready?"

" Yeah. Let me grab my purse. Wait is that coffee?"

" Yeah. Luke said you and your mom will need it."

" Oh. He knows us so well. We need it so we can talk about you all night. Well almost all night, because tomorrow we have to clean, shop and go to the mall for some new clothes."

" Clothes?"

" Yes, clothes. For me on the weekends and after school and for my mom when she goes away for her inn management meetings."

" She's going away?"

" Yeah. A week from today. I'm really going to miss her."

" Can I see you that weekend or will you be to depressed to talk to me?"

" I can see you."

Tristan helped Rory into the passenger seat of his car and walked to his side. As they drove to Rory's house they talked about what they can do on their next date and switched phone numbers. Tristan had began to wonder about whether or not he should give Rory a kiss. Tristan finally pulled in Rory's driveway after what seemed like an eternity. They got out of the car and Tristan walked her to her door.

" I had a great time tonight." Rory said.

" I did too. I'm glad we're going to do it again."

" Me too."

' Kiss me!' Rory thought.

' Kiss her.' Tristan thought.

Rory watched as his face got closer to hers then she felt his lips touch her cheek. Rory waited and she got very disappointed when she saw him pull away.

" I'll call you tomorrow Rory."

" Okay. I'll talk to you then." Rory said as she went in the front door.

" Bye." He whispered as he walked back to his car.

Rory watched him look back at her house before he got in his car.

" Spying on him are we?" Lorelai asked.

" Mom!"

" I smelt coffee and figured it was safe to come out since I heard no voices."

" Here. It's from Luke. He said we would need it."

" We do. So spill! I want every detail. Don't leave anything out."

" Where do I start? It was perfect. Absolutely perfect."

" Start from the point when you got at the movie theaters."

" Okay, so I got there ten minutes early and I talked to Gisela and she told me he was pulling in right then. So I turned to get a look at him and when I saw him my mouth dropped. He was so fine. Not that my opinion has changed. We saw Scary Movie 2 and then we went to this small Italian restaurant. The best! .................. he drove me home, his car is great. He walked me to the door. We said goodnight end of date."

" No goodnight kiss? Didn't I raise you better?"

" He kissed me on my cheek mom. He doesn't like me."

" How can you tell? You've only been on one date."

" He gave me a kiss on the cheek. What does that tell you?"

" Luke told him."

" About what?"

" Was he gone awhile when he paid the bill?"

" Yeah. Oh God! He told him about Dean. He probably hates me because I didn't tell him. I knew I should have told him."

" Don't worry. He likes you. A lot! Now off to bed. We have work to do tomorrow."
