Did I Miss Something Part Five

School ended quickly and before she knew it, Rory was walking out of Chilton and looking around the parking lot for Tristan's car. She spotted it quickly. He was sitting on the hood smoking a cigarette. She started towards it.

He saw her approaching and took one last drag from the cigarette before throwing it on the pavement.

"I thought you were quitting." She said when she was in hearings reach.

"I am. But I have to stop gradually." He said smiling.

"Did you think I wouldn't catch you?" she asked looking up at him.

"No. I just wanted to get my one for today out of the way so I could enjoy my coffee with you after school." He said popping a breath mint. She nodded. "So, ready to go?" He asked. She nodded again and they got into the car in there separate sides.

"So how's the coffee?" he asked looking up at her.

"Don't you mean how WAS the coffee. I just finished it." She said throwing the cup away behind her in the garbage can.

"Seriously? You just got it two minutes ago."

"What can I say, I didn't have any since lunch."

"And that's a long time?" he asked. "I didn't have any since morning."

She gasped in shock. "Really? How did you manage to get through hell?" She asked.

He chuckled. "Lets just say that I had something after school to look forward to."

She looked at him in the eyes and blushed. "Yeah." She said softly.

Three cups of coffee later, they were ready to go. They got into the car and started towards Rory's house. "So. We got to do that again sometime." Tristan said trying to break the silence that had taken over the car.

She smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that." He smiled.

He looked down at the pack of cigarettes that laid in the cup holder. Rory really inspired him to stop, and he'd do it for Rory. He took the cigarettes in his hand and through them out the window.

"That was a full pack." Rory said after watching him. He nodded.

"I'm quitting for you." He said as if it was something that people did commonly.

"I'll help you." She said with a smile.

"Good, cause I'm going to need it." He said smirking at her.
