Chapter Eight:
When they got to Rory's house, Tristan helped her get her bags into the house before he pulled her to him.
" I can't wait any longer. I'm going through withdrawal. I need another kiss."
" Really? Then you can have one. I don't want you going nuts on me."
Tristan lightly kissed her mouth before he slid his tongue alone her lips. She parted her lips slightly and he took this an invitation and his tongue invaded her mouth. As their tongues wrestled, Rory ran her hands through his hair. Tristan pulled back slightly and they looked at each other as they fought to regain their normal breathing rate.
" Wow." Rory said.
" Yeah."
" Well, what do you want to do?"
" Kiss you."
" Other than that."
" I don't know what do you want to do?"
" Do you want to watch a movie?"
" Let me think. Can we snuggle?"
" I guess. So you want to?"
" Sure. What movie?"
" How about Chocolat?"
" Yeah that sounds like a good movie."
" Okay let's go rent it and get some food."
" Okay. Let's go."
" We're going to walk."
" Okay."
" Tristan?"
" Yeah?"
" Chocolate or vanilla?"
" What?"
" Which would you choose?"
" Chocolate."
" Ordinary."
" Which would you choose?"
" Vanilla."
" Now that's ordinary."
" Whatever. Vanilla is a classic."
" So isn't chocolate."
" No it isn't. Vanilla is the original flavor."
" They're both classics."
" Fine."
Rory and Tristan continued their game of twenty questions until they reached the movie store. As they were headed back to Rory's house with the movie and candy they ran into Lane.
" Rory! Hi." Lane said.
" Hey Lane. Lane this is Tristan."
" Hi Tristan."
" Hi Lane."
" Rory how come you didn't tell me he was hot?"
" Lane!"
" What?"
" Listen we've got to get going but I'll call you later. I'll tell you everything."
" Okay. It was nice meeting you Tristan."
" Same here Lane."
" So, do you think I'm hot Rory?"
" Um…"
" You do."
" So what if I do?"
" Come here."
" Why?"
" Just come here."
Rory looked at Tristan before she walked over to him. Tristan gave her a light kiss and then he took her hand.
" Let's go watch this movie."
" You sure are mighty bossy."
" Thanks."
Rory and Tristan walked the rest of the way to Rory's house in silence. Once they got there Rory went to get some coffee and Tristan started the movie. Rory stopped just inside the door and looked at Tristan sitting on the couch. As if sensing someone staring at him he turned and looked at Rory. Rory smiled lightly and walked over to Tristan.
" Move your feet."
" Make me."
" No."
" Why not?"
" I'll just sit on the floor."
" Come on."
" No."
" Rory."
" Tristan."
" Rory, come here."
" Make me."
" Fine."
Tristan got up and walked over to Rory who was sitting on the floor looking up at him. He bent down and picked Rory up.
" Put me down!"
" No." he said as he walked back to the couch.
After he had settled down, he reached for the candy on the table. He smiled at Rory and popped a milk dud in his mouth.
" I'll get you back."
" Sure you will Rory."
" I will."
" Okay. I believe you. Now let's watch this movie."
" Fine, but you better watch you back."
" I will."
" I will."
Rory and Tristan settled in to watch the movie and every once in a while they'd make jokes and throw candy at each other.
Tristan looked down at Rory sleeping against his side and smiled.
' She is gorgeous. When did I become so lucky? The day I met her. There's something about her that makes me want her more everyday. I have to get her a gift. But what? What is a gift perfect enough for a perfect girl?'
Rory shifted and mumbled something. Tristan smiled again and moved back a little. He reached over a grabbed a blanket and covered them both before he fell asleep.
