1 The Snow

1.1 Chapter 6

They walked in the house and shed their shoes by the door.

"Open the candies while I get the bowls." Ordered Rory.

"Wow, I like a girl that gives orders." Tristan smirked.

Rory rolled her eyes.

He loved irritating her though. She was beautiful when she was miffed.

Who was I kidding, there always has to be a smirk or something. Thought Rory. Here comes the evil Tristan.

"Argh!" Rory slightly shouted, walking to the kitchen.

Tristan sat down on the couch and mentally scolded himself. Argh. Shouldn't have done that DuGrey.

~Kitchen~

"Why does he have to be the nice Tristan and then morph back to the evil Tristan? I swear he has more mood changes than a woman PMSing." Rory whispered to herself while getting the bowls.

Rory began walking back to the living room to see Tristan had done what she told him.

~Living Room~

"You know, I envy you," He said out of the blue.

"Why would you envy me? You have everything. Girls, cars, money. Everything money can buy." She replied motioning for him to help her pour out the candy.

"Exactly. But you have everything money can't buy. You and your mom are best friends." He stopped and rubbed his neck uncomfortably.

"How come you don't talk much about your family?"

"There's not much to tell. My family don't really take an active roll in my life." He forced a smile.

Changing the subject, Rory asked, "You ready to watch the movie?" He could only smile and nod his head.

There goes the mood again. Rory thought to herself. Now he's nice Tristan again. I'm a little surprised he didn't stay evil Tristan a little longer.

He watched intently as she turned on the TV and put in the disc. She was intoxicating. And her eyes sparkle when she spoke.

Tristan scooted over on the couch for Rory. She plotted herself onto the couch and sighed.

"Oh, wait I forgot the coffee! How could I forger that!" exclaimed Rory while getting off the couch and headed to the kitchen. He smiled and chuckled a little, then turned his attention back to the TV screen.

Tristan had never known anyone with a coffee addiction like Rory. It was one of the quirks he liked about her. She was odd and that's what attracted him to her. She wasn't like any of the other Chilton girls. After the kiss they shared at Madeline's party, he knew she was no longer a challenge.

Rory came back with two cups of coffee in her hand. She was half finished with hers by the time she got back to the couch. Tristan gave out a small laugh.

"What's so funny?" Rory smiled.

"Nothing. Just your coffee addiction." Tristan replied laughing harder.

"What's so funny about that?" Now Rory started to laugh with him.

"I've never known anyone with a coffee addiction."

"Well now you do!"

"Ok. Now I do. Enough about that, let's watch the movie. Ok?" Another small laugh came out of his mouth.

"Ok fine." She had finally stopped laughing now and her attention was turned to the TV.

~An hour later~

Sometime during the movie, Rory had fell asleep against Tristan's shoulder. He had his arm over her shoulders and his head was propped up against her head.

That was how Lorelai had found them when she got home. She didn't know who the boy was but they looked so cute together she didn't wake them. What confused her was why Rory was with another guy instead of Dean.

Oo, maybe she decided to become a Mary Magdalene and is two-timing Dean! Thought Lorelai. She sneaked a little giggle, trying quietly enough not to wake the pair in the room. But unfortunately it woke up Rory.

"Mom, is that you?" Rory whispered as she carefully extracted herself from under Tristan's arm.

"Oh sorry I woke ya up babe. By the way, who's that?" Lorelai was curious as to who the hot guy on their couch was.

"Long story" Rory said rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Oh I've got all the time" Lorelai clapped her hands together softly, grinning.
