Chapter Ten:
" So what are you doing next weekend Rory?"
" Well I'm going to Lisa's house on Saturday but other then that nothing. Why?"
" Well, do you want to be my date for this party I'm throwing on Friday night?"
" What type of party is it?"
" Birthday."
" Your birthday is next weekend? Oh God that doesn't give me much time. I need to get you a gift. What do you want?"
" Yes it's next weekend and I want you."
" Other then me?"
" Does this mean your coming?"
" Yes but what do you want?"
" I want you to be my girlfriend."
" How can I wrap that up?"
" In a dress or skirt."
" Sounds simple enough. Happy Birthday, I'm your girlfriend."
" So you'll be granting me one of my many birthday wishes?"
" You'll have to wait and see. What other wishes do you have?"
" To see you in your swim suit."
" Soon enough."
When Rory looked out the window she saw a huge house looming in front of her.
" You live here?"
" Yeah. Come on."
Rory grabbed her bag and got out of the car. She stopped and looked up at the house before she followed Tristan up to the front door. When he opened the door and ushered her in she looked at the hallway she stood in. It was bigger then her grandparents. Tristan motioned for her to follow him up the main stairs. As they walked up thew stairs and down a few hallways, Rory began to wonder where they were headed. As she was about to ask Tristan opened a door and she followed him in. As she looked around she assumed that it was his bedroom, and from the looks of things, she was right.
" If you want you can change in the bathroom, while I change out here or I can change in the bathroom down the hall." He said.
" No that's okay. Which door leads to the bathroom?"
" That one." He said as he pointed towards the one on the far right of the room.
" Thanks."
As soon as he was sure she was out of the room he quickly change and rang down and asked to have a lunch prepared for them at twelve. He looked up as the door opened. Hesitantly Rory stepped into the room. Rory had but her shorts back on but decided to leave off her top.
" You look great." He said.
" Thanks." She said, as she blushed a bit.
" No problem. Want to get in the pool?"
" Yeah."
" Give me your hand."
" Why?"
" Come on."
"Fine."
Tristan pulled her with him as he walked quickly down a set of stairs a few feet from his door. Finally he stopped at a door and opened in up. Inside was a Jacuzzi and what looked to be a slide.
" Want to go on a wild ride?" he asked.
" Um… I'm not sure."
" It's fun. I can ride with you or go ahead and catch you. If you want."
" Ride ahead and catch me."
" Okay see you in a few moments."
Tristan gave her a quick kiss before pushing himself through the opening. Time passed slowly as she waited for Tristan to yell for her to start down. Finally she heard him yell. Taking a deep breath she pushed herself through the opening. After moving slowly through some curves she found herself heading straight down. Rory screamed as she plummeted into the water. Strong arms came around her and pulled her up. When Rory opened her eyes she saw Tristan looking at her smiling.
" Did you have fun?" he asked.
" Yes."
" Did you scared at the end?"
" Yes."
" Good."
" Good?"
" Yeah you're supposed to."
" Really?"
" Yes."
Rory swam away from Tristan and looked back at the hole she had fallen through. Then she noticed the pool. It was amazing. In the center of the pool was an island that had a waterfall on it and room to lay down. All around the edge of the pool were flowers except for the stairs leading in and out of the pool.
" I love this pool, Tristan."
" I do too."
" I sure would hope so. It's amazing. It's beautiful."
" Just like you."
" Okay."
" Really. I like your suit too."
" Me too. I saw it in a magazine and my mom decided to buy it for me. An early birthday present she said."
" I thank her from the bottom of my heart for buying it. You look great in it."
" Thanks."
Rory and Tristan swam in the pool for another hour, playing like little children, before they got out.
" Do you want some lunch?" he asked.
" Um… I guess I am kind of hungry."
" Hold on, I'll be right back."
Rory watched him walk away, before she settled into her seat.
' Tristan wants me to be his girlfriend after a few days. He must like me and since I like him. Yeah, okay. Now how can I wrap that up? I've got it. I have to talk to my mom as soon as I get home.' She thought.
As Rory was thinking she didn't notice someone walk over to her. Rory opened her eyes when she realized someone or something was blocking the sun. As she looked up she saw it wasn't Tristan as she had thought but a girl. A pretty one at that.
" Hi! I'm Rory." She said.
" What are you doing here?" the girl asked.
" I'm here with Tristan."
" Why?"
" He asked me."
" Why would he ask you when he has a girlfriend?"
" A girlfriend? He told me he didn't."
" Well honey he lied to you."
" He wouldn't."
" He would and you would understand why if you knew his reason."
" What are his reasons?"
" He wants to get you in bed."
" Believe me I know his game. I've known him forever. He just does this to get me mad."
" But…"
" But nothing. I don't care if you've slept with him or not but listen you better stay away from him from now on."
" I…"
" Whatever."
" I've got to go."
" Okay. Bye, I'll tell him you left."
" Don't bother. Oh, but do tell him not to call me even if it is to explain this to me."
" I will."
Rory pulled on her clothes and walked calmly to the side entrance. When she reached the driveway, she looked back and felt her eyes start to fill. Shaking her head she walked down the driveway and down the road to the gas station she had seen earlier. When she got there she asked if there was a phone she could use and then she dialed her mom's cell phone.
" Hello?" Lorelai asked.
" Mom?" Rory said before she began to cry.
" Rory? Honey, what's wrong? Where are you?"
" I'm at a gas station, down the road from his house."
" Why are you there?"
" I left his house."
" Why?" her mom asked becoming worried that he had tried something.
" He has a girlfriend mom. He lied to me. He told everyone that he didn't have one and then he asked me to be his girlfriend."
" How did you find out that he had a girlfriend?"
" She came over. He had gone inside to get our lunch and I was thinking when I realized that someone was near me. I opened my eyes and told me that she was his girlfriend and that I had better stay away from him."
" Oh my god. He is going to die. Who does he think he is? Luke warned that boy and now he is going to get it."
" Mom!"
" What?"
" Just come get me please. I don't want to hear his name, think about him or ever see him again."
" I'm sorry. Give me directions."
After she gave her mom directions, Rory went to the bathroom and washed her face. As she stared at her reflection she wondered why this had to happen to her. Rory tore her eyes from the mirror and walked back out into the sunlight. She hadn't seen the BMW drive past the gas station as she had come back out of the bathroom. Ten minutes later her mom pulled into the gas station.
