Are We Meant To Be?
" Tristan."
" Hey Grandfather."
" What do I owe for such a surprise visit?"
" Can't I see my Grandfather for no special reason?"
" No. You always need a reason, else you are wasting my time."
" Fine I need your advice."
" Good. I hate all the small talk that leads to such favors."
" Me too."
" So what do you need my advice for?"
" It's about a girl."
" May I ask why you didn't ask one of your friends?"
" Yes. See she was new at school last year…"
" Who?"
" Rory Gilmore."
" Gilmore, huh? Lorelai Gilmore's daughter I suppose?"
" Yeah."
" I remember Lorelai. She was different."
" How?"
" It was like she didn't belong."
" Belong?"
" To Hartford's social circle. She was always a wild one."
" Not surprising. I met her once. She hasn't changed."
" About Rory."
" Well I teased her and pursued her. If I ask my friends for advice, they'll think I'm looking to just sleep with her."
" Are you?"
" No."
" Then what are you looking for?"
" I'm looking for a relationship."
" Why?"
" Because…because I love her."
" I thought so."
" Why?"
" The way you look why you say her name."
" What do I do?"
" Does she know how you feel?"
" No."
" Why not?"
" I haven't told her."
" And why not?"
" Because…"
" Because your scared? Because of pride?"
" I guess."
" Guessing gets you no where in life."
" Yes. I'm afraid she'll reject me. So pride is stopping me from doing anything."
" Get over it. She seems like a great girl. Just like her mom. But by not risking rejection, you not only hurt yourself but her in the process."
" You're right."
" I know."
" So what do I do first?"
" Talk to her. And if you can't do that, ask her out."
" She'll say no."
" Ask for a study date. Anything to get the ball rolling."
" I hope this works."
" It will."
" Thanks Grandfather."
" You're welcome."
" I've got to go, but I'll be back soon."
" I enjoy your visits. Don't stay away to long."
"I won't."
Tristan got up from the armchair and hugged his Grandfather good-bye. Turning he headed out into the dusk. Tomorrow. Tomorrow he would get the ball rolling.
Janlen watched his grandson walk out into the night and climb into his car. It was going to be a hard road for him to travel.
' He is a true DuGrey. Let's just hope Rory gives him a chance and pulls him out of the hell he is in. I hope she can.' He thought.
' Watch out Rory. You will be mine. Soon.' Tristan thought as he drove home.
