A.N. Ok, go ahead! Slap Me!!! I know I know!!! I haven't updated in like a
week!!! I really don't have any excuse either. I'm just lazy. But now that
the lazyness streak has cleared. (it has believe me! I just organized my
whole room!!! And am getting ready to paint!) I will be writing more I
promise. I think I'm going to give you 2 chapters at once here. Or type
them and wait till tomorrow to give you chapter 6. lol. We'll see. Oh, and
just in case you forgot, the congressman who did the bad thing's name was
William McMarster. You'll need to know that in here….
Chapter 5. surprise!
Rory climbed the large oak stairs that led to her office. She slid her hair behind her ear and straightened her shirt in an effort to look more presentable for her meeting. She had been shocked when she heard about the congressman doing such a thing. She had dealt with many issues in her last two years of working here but had never dealt with anything as large as murder. It was especially difficult for her, because as a teenager she had met William several times, and had grown fairly close with him. He was a few years older than her and was obviously following in his father's footsteps as a prominent congressman. When his society role, Rory's break up with Dean, and their aqaintence collided, Emily's matchmaker radar went off full force. But the two never clicked, they stayed close friends until he went he went off to school the next year before they drifted apart. Rory was shaken out of her trance by Lucy, her secretary. She handed her a file and gave her a list of people to call back. Rory's eyes flew over the list of names.

"Where do I know Emily Jacobs from?"
"Oh, she said she went to Harvard with you and she wanted if you wanted to do lunch today while she was in town. But she was going back to Chicago late tonight." Lucy informed her. Rory's memory kicked in as she remembered her old neighbor. She had helped her with a few classes and dealt with her endless partying. Lucy informed her about the lawer waiting in her office. She hated Lawers. Although she hated to admit it. Rory chuckled at herself as she did up her last button and accepted Lucy's offered cup of coffee. Taking a sip, she pushed open the door and closed it behind her. "Hi, I'm…"
"Rory." They both said in unison. They stood still for a minute, neither knowing what to do or say, or whether they should do or say anything at all.
"I can't believe it's you!" She finally sighed, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Well here I am." He shrugged. "It's so good to see you again." He added sincerely.
"Yeah…Ditto." They laughed at each other, both surprised. Mike, Rory's boss burst into the room. Saving them both from their awkwardness, and promptly started their scheduled meeting.
Four hours later, Rory and Tristan stood at her apartment door. Rory attempting to turn the key so they could enter but finding it very hard in her hysterical state, she was laughing uncontrollably at Tristan, who's pants were soaked with coffee. Eventually, having had enough, Tristan grabbed the key from her shaking fingers and easily slid it into keyhole. "I can't believe you… you spilt… I just… In the elevator…. Oh my." She got out between laughing bursts. Still in the hallway, she bent over and clutched her stomach.
"Are you going to go in?" He asked.
"Can't walk… laughing…To…hard." She pushed out. Tristan sighed and easily slid her over his shoulder, and walked into the open apartment. He carried her to her bed, throwing her done on it. Which only resulted in a heavier burst of laughter.
"You get changed, I'll be waiting in the living room. Hurry funnypants, we can watch the movies at my place. It's just a couple blocks away." Rory pointed and laughed harder.
"What?"
"You said funnypants." She said, falling backwards again. Tristan chuckled and as he closed the door and walked over to put her purse on her coathanger. He looked around her apartment. Mentally sighing he slouched down on her coach and loosened his tie as he recapped the afternoon. After their meeting they had gotten coffee, which eventually led to his dropping the coffee all over his lap in the elevator and now Rory was coming to his apartment to watch a couple movies. This is more than he ever had and yet, he knew it was getting better every minute. He took her hand and led her out of the apartment. Marveled that she could look just as elegant and esquisite in dark blue jeans and a simple yellow T-Shirt, yet still not surprised. He knew nothing at all when Rory was around. Just one thing, that his love had never left him, even to this day. He sighed and closed the door behind him.
