Hey Guys. Thanx for all the wonderful reviews! LOL not-so-dumb-blonde

A/N- So, In this chapter, look for Trory! Yay! Also, Dodger fans. I would stop reading as of now! Anywho, Tristan is on his way to stop Rory from making the biggest mistake of her life! Warning: this chapter is very sappy. If you don't like gushy romance, then I wouldn't read it! You have been warned.

On with the show.......

Tristan recognized Jess' car outside a vintage book store downtown. He was scared out of his mind, but he knew what he had to do. To tell Rory that he loved her and couldn't live another day without her. He had promised and bet Lorelai he would.

He parked his Porshe and ran inside

" Rory!" he yelled spotting her reading Emma across the table from Jess.

" Tristan? What in the hell are you doing here?"

She was confused. Secretly, she knew what he had come to do. She somewhat wanted him to. Then she thought about Jess. How would he feel?

" We need to talk." he exclaimed

" Right now?" she said trying to be as quiet as she could. Afterall, people were trying to read

" Yes. Jess could um-" said Tristan

Rory stopped him " Please Jess."

" I'll be in the car if you need me." said Jess upset

"Jess. Go on back to Stars Hollow. Tristan can drive me." replied Rory

" Are you sure?" asked Jess

" Yeah. I'll see you later." she kissed him softly on his lips and he walked out

Tristan, as she kissed him, got a jealous rage over him. He was angry.

" Now. What in the hell made you drive to Hartford and make fool of yourself." she asked frustrated and mad at him

" You." he replied

He knew that was a stretch, but it was the truth. He loved her more than life itself. He always had. Rory Gilmore made him do strange things. Especially in high school. Like breaking into a safe.

" Me? I don't make you do anything Tristan Janlan DuGrey!"

She was mad at him. She rarely ever was, but this time she was.

" I love you!" he blurted it out. He hadn't meant to, but it just came out.

Rory stopped gave him the most intent glare she had ever gave anyone in her life.

" What!" she gritted her teeth

" I love you!" he admitted again

That's all he could say was that he loved her. Other words just could not be formed on his lips.

" Look mister. Don't just think you can come in here and get all 'Sam Malone' on me and expect me to be your Diane and turn to jello in your arms 'cause I'm not. Also, Tristan DuGrey, I have a boyfriend. He's very good to me and I like him a whole lot-"

He stopped her babbling " Do you love Jess?"

" Excuse me?" she ranted

" Do. You. Love. Him? It's a fairly simple question." he said with a smile playing on his lips

" Well of course I like him!" she exclaimed

" No, I asked if you loved him. Which you obviously don't. You keep avoiding the question."

" Yes I do, and you have no right to tell me whom I love and who I do not, and Isn't it obvious that I love YOU and not Jess!" she covered her mouth and began to cry. She tried to stop but failed.

She walked over and wrapped her arms around him and he the same. She cried on his shoulder.

" Don't ever do that again, OK?" she sniffed

" I love you too Mary." he whispered in her ear

" It's Rory!" she said softly knowing it was no use

" I know." he replied rubbing her hair and smelling its' strawberry scent.

" Tristan." she replied with tears still in her eyes

" Yeah Ror." he stated smiling

" Kiss me. I promise I won't go anywhere." she was reluctant at first, but soon realized they were meant to be.

" Deal."

He hadn't kissed her since the night of Madeline's party. This scared him. Was she really going to stay?

Flashback........

Tristan sat on the piano bench. He had just been publically humiliated. Summer had dumped him. In front of all those rich, snobby Chiltonites.

Rory walked into the room to read, but was sadly mistaken.

" Hi." she said sitting down beside him

" Hi."

" That Bio test today was a killer today, huh?" she asked trying to walk around the subject of Summer

" Yeah." he mumbled

" How do you think you did?" she asked

" I did alright."

" How's Bag Boy?" he said with a glimmer of hope in his eyes

Why did you ask about that? Stupid DuGrey. Stupid

" We broke up."

He heard her udder those words and his spirit lifted. He was so happy he wanted to leap off that piano bench right then and there.

" I'm sorry." he lied

" It's alright. He was getting a little too possessive anyway."

" Are you OK?" he asked

" Yeah. I'm fine."

He leaned in and kissed her, and what did she do? Run off.

.........end of Flashbck

They got in the car and began to drive off.

" I'm sorry." she admitted

" For what?" asked Tristan

" For running off. I really enjoyed that kiss. Other than back there in the book store, it was the best I ever had!"

" Oh really!" his 'oh so famous smirk' was there, again

" Don't let your head swell too much, ego boy!" she leaned over and kissed him softly and sweetly, but with more passion than ever had before

It wasn't like kissing Dean or Jess. This was pure and udder passion. It could not be described as anything else. Not one of those someday my prince will come, but I am settling for the time being. No, Rory knew he was it. So did Tristan.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At Luke's.............


Jess came and stormed into the diner. He attempted to go upstairs, but Lorelai stopped him.

" What happened to you? Did someone shoot Charles Dickens or something?" asked Lorelai innocently

" Lorelai, Charles Dickens died 80 years ago and that low-down, accountant, rich boy stole my girlfriend!!"

" Jess, is that for sure?" she asked

" I'm not sure, but he showed up at the bookstore, said he needed to talk to her, told me to leave, and she did everything but tell me that we're through!"

" Well, there isn't much else you can do is there?" said Lorelai trying to be sympathetic

" We have so much in common, and I love her!" exclaimed Jess

" Well, take it from someone who knows. He loves her too!"

" Oh really." aid Jess sarcastically rolling his eyes

" Yeah he does. Well, I am gonna go home and see if Rory's back. I'll see you later." she kissed Luke and walked out the door

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rory sat on Tristan's lap on the couch. He kissed her gently. Rory smiled

" Wow." she said leaning up just so their foreheads touched

" Do I always shock, Mary?" he sarcastically asked with a smirk

" Calm down Bible boy. We don't want your ego to get that big do we?"

" Shut up." he said baffled

" Lack of come back? Surprising." she replied

" Oh you like surprises!" he leaned in and kissed her with great passion

Lorelai walked in to find her daughter making out on their couch with a guy that wasn't Jess.

" Having fun guys!" she exclaimed smiling

Rory looked up from Tristan's lips

" Mom!" she yelled surprised again

" Hi kiddo. Tristan. I'm really happy for you guys, but have you forgotten about Jess?" exclaimed Lorelai jogging their memories

" Oh my God Jess, I'm so screwed!"

" Well, I suppose breaking up with Jess would be the best because I see that you're comepletely happy with Bible boy here, but how are you going to go about it?" asked Lorelai happy, but still worried

" Is he at the diner?"

" As far as I know." exclaimed Lorelai

" Well, I'll go talk to him. You don't go anywhere," she said pointing at Tristan "I'll be back!" she kissed him and went out the front door
--------

" How in the hell did you do it?!" asked Lorelai enthusiastically

" You owe me $25 bucks!" exclaimed Tristan

" Oh that's right, we had a deal," She pulled out her wallet and paid him in full " you still haven't answered my question."

" Don't you know that all girls can't resist Tristan DuGrey eventually, even Rory!"

" Rory's different." said Lorelai cooly

" Hell yes. Rory's different from any other person I have ever met or dated."

" So you've got some explaining to do!" she replied

" I know." he said thinking and missing Rory's touch

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" Please try and understand. You're like my brother and my best frind we were never meant to be. I hate to tell you this, but Tristan and I were. It's just that I love you only as a friend not as something more. I thought I did, but I don't. Tristan helped me see that. Please say you can still be my best friend. You always were!" she exclaimed trying not to make Jess to angry

" Right. So, you break up with me to go out with rich boy and you still wanna be friends!" said Jess sarcastically

" I would prefer if we could get through this without any sarcastic remarks. Can you do that Jess?" she snapped

" I'll try, but I'm not making any promises." he stated rolling his eyes

" Try harder, and you know what. My mom was right. You are an insesitive, city boy punk!" she yelled

" Well, you're a too smart for your own good, Jane Austin wannabe townee!" screamed Jess

By the time they were in the pavillion screaming, The whole town had seen them argue. Miss Patty had heard from the dance studio, Taylor from Doose's Market, Lane from the Kim's Antiques, and Babbette heard from just watering her flowers in her garden. The Stars Hollow gossip circle had begun.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rory walked into her house to find her mother and Tristan waiting in the living room.

" An insesitive, city boy punk! That's harsh Ror!" replied her mother

She stood there baffled for a moment and then remembered where she lived.

" Oh God, Miss Patty! It's probablly gotten to Grandma by now!"

The phone rang. B-rrrrrr-ing B-rrrrrr-ing

" Hello. Gilmore residence." answered Rory

" Hello Rory. I heard about you breaking up with that poor boy from the diner! I would say good riddance!" exclaimed Emily Gilmore

" Well, bye grandma! I gotta go!"

The phone clicked before Emily Gilmore could udder anything as such as a word

She walked over and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and nuzzling her face in his neck.

" What did I do?" Tristan was puzzled

" Nothing. Just being a wonderful guy." she whispered in his ear

" Hey! I'm still standing here!" yelled Lorelai

" Sorry Lorelai. She's wallowing, and I'm kind of enjoying it!"

" You enjoy any physical activity thans includes you and a beautiful girl!" said Lorelai copying Tristan's famous smirk that was now playing on her lips as well

" Ouch! That hurts Lorelai." said Tristan

" You deserved it!" she replied

" Hey look who else is still standing here." exclaimed Rory looking up from his shoulder

" Rory." said Tristan seriously

" Yeah. Is something wrong?" asked Rory

" No. I just thought dinner and a movie?" he suggested

" Great, but how 'bout we have dinner and come back for movie night with my mom?"

" It's a date." he said satisfied
