Chapter Two
Christina and Crystal

I smiled sipping my coffee Tristin bending down so the little girl could get on his back. The older girl smiled and said something. Tristin nodded his head and walked into Luke's. Tristin spots me easily because there's only a couple other people. "Hey, fancy meeting you here." I grinned.
"I know. Do you live here?"
"No, I wish I did, Luke has the best coffee."
Tristin chuckled. "Didn't you have coffee earlier when I ran into you? Rory, these are my cousins Crystal and Christina. Crystal, Tina this is my friend Rory."
"Hi Crystal." I waved to the shy girl. Her blue eyes were wide open. "Hey Christina." I said turning to Christina.
"You didn't call me Crystal. Did he tell you about me?" Christina tilted her head up because her green bucket hat covered her eyes. She had green eyes, long eyelashes like Tristin's and long blonde hair. She was wearing a Gap sweatshirt and shorts. "Are you Triscuit's girlfriend?"
"He mentioned that you're thirteen, that you guys are cousins and you like PJ Harvey. Nope, I am not his girlfriend. Triscuit huh? I'll have to tease him about that at school then the trail of girls following him will soon be nothing."
Christina laughed and looked up at her cousin. "I like her, she's nice and funny."
"I know." Tristin eyed Christina's hat. "Hey, hat off." Tristin pulled the bucket hat off Christina's head.
"Hey!" Christina snatched back her hat. "What did you that for?" she asked putting the hat back on."
"You promised you wouldn't wear it when we're eating."
"We're not eating stupid."
"Who are you calling stupid?"
"You."
"You are one evil cousin." Tristin teased shaking his head.
"Thank you. You know where I get it?"
"Where?"
"You."
"Me? Evil I don't think so."
"I think so." I laughed.
"I'm with Rory on that." Christina said standing next to me.
"Two against one. Ha!"
"She's pretty." A small voice added. I looked at Crystal and smiled.
"You're pretty cute, yourself." I told Crystal.
She giggled and buried her head into Tristin's shoulder. "Okay, I was wrong, she's still shy but not a lot." Tristin admitted. "Crystal, you have to get down if you want to eat." Tristin bent down so Crystal could get off and she was kneeling on the chair. Tristin said next to her. Christina and I sat on the other side.
Luke came over when he saw that Tristin, Christina and Crystal were sitting with me. "Rory? Who's he?"
"That's Tristin and his cousins Christina and Crystal. Guys this is Luke, he owns this place."
"So, I hear your food is good." Tristin said.
"And coffee." I added.
Tristin rolled his eyes. "You have a problem, you know?"
"I'm not that bad. Right Luke?" I grinned.
"Compared to your mother you're not that bad...but it's just compared to your mother."
"Thank you, Luke."
"What would you like to eat?"
"A cheeseburger and apple juice." Crystal whispers.
Luke smiles at her.
"The usual." I said.
"I'll have a cheeseburger and a coke." Tristin said.
"Hamburger and coffee." Christina said smiling at Tristin.
"Make that a coke, Luke."
"What? But I want coffee!"
"No."
"Please Tristin? I won't call you Triscuit anymore."
"No, you will never stop calling me that."
"Why can't I have coffee?"
"Coffee stunts your growth."
"Does not."
"No coffee for her." Tristin told Luke.
"Not a coffee lover?" Luke asked.
"Have it with my breakfast sometimes, usually not though."
"No coffee? I like this kid." Luke told me and went into the kitchen.
"So, Luke is tough huh?"
"Nah, he's a softy. He's like a big teddy bear. He's a big softy. I'll be right back." I got up and went to the counter. "Hey Luke."
"No more coffee."
"Please."
"No."
"You're turning into Tristin." I smirked.
"Okay, fine. I wouldn't want to turn into Bible Boy." Luke poured coffee into my empty mug. "Are you going out with him?"
"No." I shook my head. "I'm just having lunch with him. I ran into him at Barnes & Nobles this morning. He told me about his cousins and they sounded so cute I just had to meet them. "
"I thought you said he was evil." He said nodding at Tristin. I turned around to look at them. Tristin was tickling Crystal."
"I thought he was too. But I think who I met was the Chilton Tristin. I think that guy over there is the real Tristin. And since that is the real Tristin, I think I'll pay him a visit." I said getting off the stool and walked over to the table. "Hi." I said sitting down.
"Hey." Tristin said.
I handed Christina my mug. She eagerly accepted the offering. "Thanks."
"No problem."
"What are you doing?" Tristin asked
"Letting Christina have some coffee."
"She had coffee when we came here." Tristin shot Christina a look.
"Okay, okay. Here Rory." Christina hands me the mug back. "It was good while it lasted."
"So, does Tristin get on your nerves?" I asked
"Oh yeah, tons. But I love him anyway." Christina smiled at Tristin.
"Really, well I don't love you." Tristin joked.
"Then you're a freak."
"Did you call me a freak?"
"Yup, just like I called you stupid. Doesn't that make you a stupid freak?" Christina smirked.
"You see, that's what I was talking about. That is the mean streak Rory."
"I don't think it's mean I just think you don't like being called a stupid freak by your younger cousin." I laughed.
