Only In My Dreams
She grinned as she watched him walk off. She grabbed her book bag and all the things shed need over the break and headed towards Paris's car. "I'm ready, although I think Tristan might be joining us."
Paris grinned. "You got him to skip off on his first day back?"
"I have no idea what I was doing." Rory replied.
"Let me in before my ass gets busted." Tristan tapped on the window. "Or I freeze to death." Paris hit the button to unlock one of the back doors of her explorer. He jumped in rubbing his hands together.
"Is everyone ready?" Paris asked and pulled out, not waiting for an answer.
"Lets go!" Tristan replied. "Wait! Where are we going?"
"Stars Hollow," Rory told him. "The Crap Shack."
"The Crap Shack?" He raised his eyebrow.
"My house pretty boy." She replied.
"Your house hmmm?" he smiled. "Are you gonna cook me dinner?"
Rory looked at him. "You've got to be kidding?!" she was amazed at the thought of her cooking, yes, she had tried it before. But that was for Dean! What kind of girl did Tristan think she was! She never cooked on the first date! The first date! Since when was this a date! He thoughts were cut off.
"What?"
"Me cook? I'm not even sure we have a stove!" Rory exclaimed.
Paris laughed. "She's telling the truth."
"You can't be serious!" Tristan stared at Rory.
"All the restaurants know us on a first name basis. We have bills at all of them that we pay at the end of each month!" Rory laughed. "They phone us to see if we want any dinner!" He shook his head.
"How am I'm suppose to get home tonight?" Tristan asked.
Walk?" Rory suggested.
"I have to come back for more stuff." Paris told him. "You can get a ride with me."
"More stuff?" Rory's eyes bugged out.
"Yeah, Christmas gifts!"
"Christmas gifts!' Rory exclaimed. "I need to buy more Christmas gifts!"
"You still have Christmas gifts left to buy?!" Paris said unbelievingly. "I had all mine bought months ago!"
"I need to buy Christmas gifts too." Tristan nodded. "Two to be exact."
"You only need to but two Christmas gifts?" Paris looked at him in the mirror.
"Yep, yours and Rory's." Tristan grinned.
"What about your parents?" Rory asked.
"My mom buys my dads, my dad buys my moms." Tristan replied.
"Oh." Rory nodded.
Stars Hollow......
"Welcome to the crap shack! Mom, I'm home and I bring company!" Rory called out.
"Do this company you speak of bring food?" Lorelei called. "Because if they don't, I start with the juiciest one first!"
"Mom!"
"Hi Paris." Lorelei walked out. "And Hi hot blonde guy."
"Mom!"
"Rory, are you dating a really hot guy that you're not telling me about?"
"It's nice to meet you Ms. Gilmore." Tristan said politely.
"Hmm, mannerly too." Lorelei nodded.
"Mom, this is Tristan." Rory said exasperated.
"Tristan? The evil one?" Lorelei said. "You never said the evil one was good looking."
"Mom!"
"Umm, thank you Ms. Gilmore." Tristan smiled.
"Lorelei," she smiled in return. "Now daughter of mine! Please feed your dear old mother!"
"Mom, you're not old. Go to Luke's."
"Evil spawn of me!" she mock glared. "I was in labour with -"
"Luke has coffee..." Rory cut in.
"Bye wonderful mini me. see you Paris." She grabbed her coat. "Bye evil one." She left, slamming the door behind her.
"Wow." Tristan stared after her.
"She has that effect on a lot of people." Rory grinned.
"I believe you." Tristan nodded.
"What do you want to do now?" Rory asked.
He smirked at her knowingly. She blushed. "Show me your town."
"My town?" Rory laughed.
Paris laughed, "You've seen it on the way here."
"Then how about coffee?" Tristan suggested.
"Now you're talking!" Rory exclaimed. "Come on."
"You go ahead, I'm gonna stay and unload the explorer. Then go back for another load."
"What about me?" Tristan asked.
"There's more." Paris grinned.
"See ya Paris." Rory took Tristans hand and dragged him out the door. She released his hand quickly when she felt the sparks fly through her mittens. Tristan glance at her as she nervously fixed her scarf. "What?"
"Nothing, your town is very...quaint." Tristan told her.
She grinned. "Yeah, it is." They walked in a comfortable silence for a while. "We're here."
"Umm, Rory, this is a hardware store." Tristan pointed out.
"It use to be, now its Luke's Diner." She told him and walked in. Tristan followed.
"Daughter! Thank you! Mmmmm coffee!" Lorelei sighed.
"Is she drunk?" Tristan whispered. Rory laughed.
"I heard that young evil one!" Lorelei replied. "I'll have you know.."
"She's a coffee addict, don't mind her." Luke came from the kitchen. "What can I get you?"
"I'll have a coffee Luke." Rory replied eagerly.
"Me to please." Tristan added.
"It'll kill you." Luke grabbed two cups.
"I'll die a happy girl." Rory replied.
"Hey Ror- who's this?" A guy asked.
"Hey Jess, this is Tristan." Rory told him.
"Its nice to meet you." Tristan held out his and.
Jess eyed him for a while, taking in his blonde hair and almost cocky attitude. He then looked from Tristan to Rory. He relaxed. "You too man."
"Have some coffee with us?" Rory asked him.
"Can't right now," Jess replied. "Maybe I'll come around later."
"You can meet Paris!" Rory exclaimed.
"Paris? France?" Jess raised and eyebrow.
She gave him Tristans smirk. "No, my friend from school. Her parents are gone to Aspen so she's staying with us."
"Is she?" Lorelei asked.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you! Her parents left her alone for Christmas."
"More people! We can have a pajama party and eat pizza and drink coffee!" Lorelei exclaimed, walking back to the door.
"A pajama party?" Tristan whispered in Rory's ear, sending shivers through her. "I don't wear pajamas. I sleep in the nude."
Rory grinned. "So do I."
Tristan choked on his coffee. Sputtering, "Excuse me?"
"Just wanted to see you blush." Rory gave Tristan a smirk, watching his ears turn red. "It's a lovely shade on you."
He gave her his famous smirk. "I know something else that would look good on me."
"Hmm? Really? And what would that be?" Rory asked him,. Running a fingertip around the rim of the coffee mug.
"Are you saying obscene things to my daughter young evil one?" Lorelei asked.
"No Ma'am." Tristan replied.
"No Ma'am?" Rory raised an eyebrow.
"Military school." Tristan grinned sheepishly. Rory and Lorelei laughed.
"There's gonna be a few ground rules...-"
"Mom!" Rory exclaimed. "Luke!"
"Want some coffee Lorelei?" Luke's voice rang out.
"Coffee?!" Her eyes popped out. "Oh yes godly one!"
"Wow! Your mom sorta scares me!" Tristan told Rory.
"She ahs that effect on people too." Rory laughed. "You wanna head back now?"
"Sure." Tristan nodded. "So what's up with you and that Jess guy? He seems.."
"He seems.?" Rory glanced at him as he held the door open for her.
"Like a ..good friend." Tristan nodded, shoving his hands in his pockets to shield them from the cold.
"He is, Jess is one of the best." Rory nodded. "I have to go to Duces."
"Excuse me?" Tristan asked.
"The supermarket. Candy supply." Rory grinned. "Oh! I have the best idea! You should stay and watch movies with us tonight! I'll get Jess to come over and he'll meet Paris!"
"You mean a double date?" Tristan asked.
"I thought Jess would like Paris more, but if you wanna.." She trailed off.
"You wound me Mary." Tristan grinned. "Maybe you're just embarrassed to show your feelings. Face it, you want me."
"Oh yes Tristan!" Rory said seriously. "I want you, your body, your hands running all over Me." she smirked.
"How you've changed ." Tristan stuttered out.
"How I've learned to relax." Rory laughed. He followed her into the supermarket.
"How I like it!" Tristan wiggled his eyebrows.
"Shut up!" Rory hit him lightly on his chest. He grabbed her arm, pulling her too him. She looked up at him, her tongue darting out to wet her lips. She was holding her breath, did she want him to kiss her? 'Yes!' she thought finally. She did, she wanted 'the evil one', the 'spawn of Satan', 'bible boy' to kiss her. She closed her eyes. Tristan eyed her apprehensively.
'What has happened to the Mary I use to know?' he thought. He pulled her roughly against him, mumbling her name. "I've missed you so much. Only in my dreams could I hold you like this Rory. Please tell me you're not messing with my head." He nuzzled her neck.
"I'm not joking. I've missed you Tristan. After the Romeo and Juliet play, I wondered, what would have happened it I hadn't run that night at the party, if you hadn't been sent to military school." Rory sighed. They stood in the can goods section, oblivious to all the people staring, including one particular person.
"Where do we go from here?" Tristan asked.
"Wherever it takes us." She replied, staring into his bright blue eyes. He lowered his head slowly, gently tugging at her bottom lip. She opened her mouth, giving him entrance. It was a slow, sensuous kiss. She smiled giving him a quick kiss. "Candy!" she hopped off happily. Tristan watched her, grinning like a little boy on Christmas morning. 'Christmas!' his head raced. 'What to get Rory!' he wandered through the store. 'What do you get someone you're in love with?' he wandered aimlessly, not taking in his surroundings. A glint caught his eye. He looked in that direction. It was a mirror. 'I got it!'
