part 10
Why, Mary!


Luke's Diner. Saturday.

Lorelai strolled into the diner and sat next to Chris at the counter. "Mornin'," she said cheerfully, "Where's Luke?"

Chris shrugged. "Dinner was....interesting. Is Rory alright?"

"Hell yeah. Look at the hunk who took her home. She'll be fine."

"A hunk took Rory home?" Jess interrupted. Lorelai pretended not to hear.

"Well, Tristan did. Mornin' Jess." Chris answered.

Jess nodded. "Oh, Lorelai, Luke's not here today if you were wondering." Yet she still pretended not to hear. Jess shot Chris a quizzical look and Chris simply shrugged. Trying to be nice, Jess put a cup of coffee in front of Lorelai. She glanced at him and picked it up, still not saying anything.

She took a sip of the best coffee she'd ever had. Even better than the kind Luke usually made. She looked at Jess, but was determined to not talk to him, so she concentrated on her coffee again. She noticed a slip of paper taped to the cup. I'm sorry, Lorelai. And yes, I made the coffee. - Jess. Lorelai raised her eyebrows at Jess who busied himself wiping off the counter. She wondered if he was sincere or not. Draining her coffee, she scribbled a note on the backside, laid it under her empty mug and headed out the door.

"Not even I could get her to shut up for that long before." Chris stared at Jess in amazement.

Jess grinned and picked up the note. You really like her, don't you. You know you're letting Tristan win. They weren't questions, simply statements. Jess frowned. "I am?" He asked the air.


Meanwhile at the DuGrey Mansion

Rory stirred from her comfortable sleeping position. She reached out, expecting Tristan to be there. She remembered him being there when she went to sleep. When she didn't feel his presence, she opened her eyes. *I am in my bed. What am I doing here?* Her thoughts were interrupted by a phone ringing. It was coming from her nightstand. She saw a cell phone sitting there. *Since when do I have a cellphone?* Curiously, she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey babe. You slept a long time." Tristan's cheerful voice piped up.

"It's a Gilmore trait. What am I doing in my bed?"

"Uh-- sleeping, I hope."

"No, I mean, I fell asleep with you and I woke up without you."

"Aww. I didn't know I would be so missed!"

"You know what I mean."

"I carried you to your room after you fell asleep. The couch couldn't have been too comfortable."

"You tucked me in?"

"Yep."

"Where are you?"

"In my car. I didn't know the plans for today, so I decided to call and check."

"Oh. I think Jess is free today. I could chill with him if you have other plans."

"Alright. Do you need me to drive you anywhere?"

"No, that's okay." Rory said quickly, not wanting to be a burden.

"Okay. See you tonight, then. How 'bout movie night?"

"Yes! That'd be awesome." Rory said, sounding much more hyper.

"Alright. See you then. Don't miss me too much, now."

Rory giggled. "I'll try." She added, sarcastically. Hanging up, she rummaged through her drawer trying to find Jess's number.


Luke's Diner.

"Maybe I screwed up my chances, already. What do you think?" Jess asked Chris. They had been discussing Rory and Tristan and Lorelai for the past half hour.

"No. It's never too late. Not for you, anyway." Chris said brightfully. Jess grinned. It was easy for him to talk to Chris. He usually couldn't talk to adults that well. He just found it hard. But Chris was different.

The phone rang and Jess glanced down at the caller id. "Maybe it is. Look at this." He said in disgust, showing Chris the caller id. It read DuGrey, Lorelai.

Chris stared in disbelief, then started laughing uncontrollably. Jess frowned and picked up the phone.

"Why, hello, Lorelai DuGrey."

"What?" came Rory's angelic voice over the phone.

"That's what my caller id says." Jess said, bitterly.

"Really? No way! Tristan just gave me this cell phone. It really says that?"

"Yep."

"Wow."

"Yeah, well, I better let you get back to your honeymoon." Jess grunted.

"No, it's not like that."

"Well, whaddya want?"

"Do you have plans for today?"

"Uh, hold on." Jess covered up the mouthpiece and yelled towards the kitchens. "Hey Ceaser!"

"Yeah?"

"Do you really need me today?"

"No."

"Thanks." He called then went back to the phone. "I'm free, Mrs. DuGrey. Does your husband know where you'll be?"He couldn't keep the hurt out of his voice. He didn't know why it bothered him so much.

"Jess, stop. Yes, Tristan's gone. Can you pick me up?"

"Sure. Be there soon." Jess hung up the phone and stared at Chris, who was still trying to control his laughter.

"Whoa, man. Go get her before she really is Mrs. DuGrey." Chris said, grinning.

"What, you don't like Tristan?" Jess asked, hopefully. Even if Lorelai was against him, at least Rory's dad was with him.

"Yeah, he's cool. But I know you better."

"Alright. I'm gonna go." Jess answered before he hurried out the diner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rory stepped out of the house as Jess was pulling up. She climbed into his pickup and glanced over at him. "Hey."

"Hello, Mrs-"

"JESS! You said you'd stop!" Rory whined.

"Fine. Have it your way. So you don't want to be Mrs.DuGrey?"

Rory paused. How was she supposed to know? Maybe, in the future she would want to be. She was too young right now, though. But she would be lying to say that her feelings for Tristan were merely platonic. "Um-No-o." She stammered.

Jess raised his eyebrows at her, but turned his attention to his driving. "Where are we going, anyway?"

"How 'bout the mall? They got a new bookstore."

"Okay." He answered. They drove in silence for a little while, but it was an akward silence. Finally, Jess spoke up. "Lor--are you happy being friends with me?"

Rory frowned slightly. "Of course. You're one of my best friends."

Jess realized she hadn't caught his meaning, but decided not to pursue it further. "Okay." He pulled into the parking lot, found a place and parked, then turned to her. "Here we are."

Rory smiled at him. She realized how much she loved having him around, simply because they were alike. She leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips before getting out of the truck. Jess just stared at her.


A While Later In the Bookstore

"Jess! No!" Rory protested.

"C'mon. Please."

"No." Rory shook her head. He was trying to get her to check out a book filled of some of Edgar Allen Poe's best poems.

Jess walked over to her and kissed her sweet lips for the second time that day. It was a passionate kiss and he wrapped his arms around her, deepening the kiss. He broke it off suddenly. "How 'bout now?"

Rory paused. "Are you saying that if I don't get it, you won't do that again?"

"Yep."

"I'm not getting it." She looked at him and decided to test him. She grabbed his face and kissed him lightly. When he tried to heat it up, she pulled away. "Liar."

"C'mon, just try it."

"Fine." Rory gave up, exasperated.

Jess grinned as she paid for the book and caught up to her as she exited the store in a hurry.

"You're buying me coffee now." Rory stated.

"Okay, you deserve it." They walked into the food court, got coffee for Rory and sat a booth together. Rory gazed past Jess and her mouth dropped. "What?" Jess followed her gaze and saw Tristan standing next to a table, obviously flirting with some girl. "Isn't that your dear husband?" He asked.

Rory glared at him. Then looked back at Tristan. "That girl." She muttered.

"What about her?"

"She's throwing herself at him." Rory said in disgust.

"Yeah. But don't they usually?" Jess asked. Rory had told him about Tristan's status in Chilton.

"Yeah, but that's Summer."

"Only during the summer?" Jess was confused.

"No. The girl is Summer. They dated sophomore year, but at a party, she dumped him in front of everyone. That's when...." Rory trailed off.

"He kissed you?" Jess asked, finally remembering.

Rory nodded and looked back at Tristan and Summer. She was doing some intense flirting. She was giggling and tossing her hair over her shoulder, the whole bit. Jess turned in his seat to watch, too. Summer ran a hand down Tristan's arms and continued to giggle at something he was saying. Tristan was grinning at her, apparently enjoying himself. Then, he leaned over and kissed her. Just like that. They were enjoying a nice make out session when Rory turned her attention to Jess. "That's nice." She sighed. Jess could see the hurt in her eyes.

Jess thought of a plan. "I'll be right back." He told Rory. She nodded glumly. He approached an adonis jock who was waiting in line. "Hey." he said to the guy.

"Can I help you?" The jock asked.

"Yeah actually." Jess took out forty bucks. "I've got this money if you'll do something for me."

The jock's face brightened. "Sure."

"Alright. See those two makin' out over there?" The jock nodded. "Well, they're not together, so don't be embarassed...."

A while later, Jess sat back down with Rory who was staring at the table. She looked back up at them when a certain blonde teenage boy approached Tristan and Summer and tapped her on the shoulder. "Are you cheating on me, Summer?" The boy said, his voice was loud and he looked really pissed. Summer looked at him, shock written on her face. The boy continued. "After last night! You just move on like that! How could you?" Summer was trying to say something, but stuttering. Tristan let go of her immediately. He looked between the two and gave Summer a look of disgust. He quickly walked the other way away from them, breezing right past Rory and Jess without realizing it. The jock walked away from Summer and over to Jess. Jess handed him the money. "Good performance." The boy smiled and walked away.

Rory stared at Jess. He simply grinned at her. "Did you--?" Rory began.

"Yeah." Jess said. "You have to admit, it was funny."

"But, why?"

"It looked like it was upsetting you." Jess shrugged.

"Yeah..." Rory looked over her shoulder to see Tristan in the bookstore, browsing through the shelves. She grinned. "We are evil. I mean, what if he's really upset now?"

"He'll get over it." Jess said carelessly. "I gotta run. Luke will be back soon. I trust you can get a ride, right?" Jess said, nodding in Tristan's direction.

Rory nodded. She stood up when Jess did. "Thanks, Jess." She leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her waist and arched his neck to deepen the kiss. He broke off when he started feeling dizzy. "Bye, Rory." He grinned and left.

Tristan walked the aisles, browsing through different books, trying to decide what he should get for Rory. He sat down in one of the chairs in frustration. He couldn't stop thinking about Rory. Even when he was away from her. Even when he was kissing Summer... He shook his head. That damn slut. She was just playing with him. She wasn't serious when she said she had missed him and waited for him to get back. He couldn't recall why he believed her, or why he allowed himself to be attracted to her, when he really wanted to be with Rory. *She doesn't want you, DuGrey. Never has, Never will. Not in that way. Stop believing that you can win her love. You can't.* It hurt to admit it to himself, but that was the truth. Silent tears made their way down his face and he quickly dried them. *Now you're just making a fool of yourself, DuGrey. You're tougher than this. Pull yourself together. She's just a girl. You'll get over her. Yeah....Keep tellin' yourself that, you moron. Why don't you just admit it? You're a wimp and you're chasing after something that will never belong to you. But why?* He stood up and started browsing books again, trying to stop the battle going on in his head.

Rory entered the bookstore, but didn't want to approach Tristan yet. He looked really upset. Maybe Summer really got to him. I thought he was over her a long time ago? *No, Gilmore, you thought he loved you. Well, I was wrong, I guess. Obviously, Summer meant alot to him if he was this upset over her using him like that. Actually, she wasn't using him. Jess just made it look that way. Tristan's only so nice to you out of pity for your loss. Dean. Did he ruin everything for her and Tristan? Even when he was dead? Well, it's not like Tristan likes me in that way, anyway. I can't believe I ever thought he did. It hurts, I know, Gilmore, but you have to face up to the truth. Tristan likes Summer. Not you. But why did he lead me on? He's playing with you. Like every other girl. Then why would he do all these nice things for me? Argh!!* She started to march out of the bookstore, she couldn't talk to Tristan yet. She was too upset. She didn't look where she was going and ran headlong into a woman carrying a large stack of books. She fell backwards, and unfortunately so did the lady. The books went flying. Rory was trying to sit up when one hit her in the face. She fell back again, this time, unconsciously. Everything between Summer and Tristan was being replayed in her head. She felt sick to her stomach, but someone was shaking her. "Rory! Rory! C'mon, please wake up, babe." She heard Tristan's voice in the back of her mind and slowly opened her eyes. He was kneeling beside her, supporting her upper body with his strong arms. Suddenly, her anger came rushing back to her and she wriggled out of his arms in a hurry.

Standing up, she glared at him. "Don't touch me, Tristan!" She barked out. Tristan looked at her in shock. Rory opened her mouth to say something when her cell rang. She walked out the store and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Rory. Hey hon! Everything good?"

"Yeah, mom." She didn't want to talk about it now.

"Great! Listen, you and Tristan meet me at Luke's tonight at six. Don't be late."

"But--" She was going to protest bringing Tristan when the line went dead. Her mom had already hung up. "DAMMIT!" she yelled, causing some people to give her rude looks. "What are you looking at?" She shouted to one of them. "Huh? Huh?" They walked away in a hurry then she heard laughing. She turned around to find Tristan there. Apparently, he found this funny. Which made her angrier. "Sorry, I don't see why you're laughing. Oh, right! It's 'cause you're an asshole!" She said this as though it just dawned on her and started to stalk off.

Tristan felt the sting from her words. Why was she so angry with him? *She's always hated you, DuGrey.* Somehow, he didn't agree with that, though. He ran after her. "Rory! Rory! Wait! Please!"

Rory stopped and turned around, glaring at him. "What?" She snapped.

"What's wrong, Ror? Why are you mad at me?"

"No, see, you've got it wrong. I'm not necessarily as mad at you as I am at myself. How could I have been so stupid? I knew all along you were just playing me. I was just a game. Yet, I started to think you cared. But you were just being nice out of pity. So, I trusted you. I even started to fall for you, dammit! All so you would go and prove me wrong! I hate you, Tristan. I don't know why I didn't see through you before. You make me sick." She spat out those words as tears began to fall down her face.

Tristan tried to understand it all, but he didn't know why she was angry. Surely, she hadn't known about him and Summer? "Rory- don't cry, please." He stepped towards her and attempted to hug her, but Rory quickly snapped out of his embrace.

"Stop, Tristan! I hate being used and I hate being a part of your stupid game! You know, you had me believing that you had changed. Well, you haven't." Rory quickly tried to walk off. She didn't know why she was so angry, Tristan wasn't her boyfriend, it's not like he was cheating on her. Yet, she felt betrayed and used. Angry, yet disappointed because he hadn't changed. And disappointed because Tristan didn't care for her as much as she thought he did. She stopped walking and turned around to find Tristan right where she left him. He was staring at the ground, and he looked hurt. She watched him pull out something from his pocket and look at it in a thoughtful manner, but she didn't catch what it was. *Why am I being so mean and hateful? I mean, I kissed Jess, too. But I wasn't trying to use Tristan.... Are you sure about that? Remember what your mom said? But.. She was wrong. I would never use Tristan. Right? Rory, you've been stupid. Yeah, he kissed Summer. But you kissed Jess. Yeah! But I didn't lead him on making him think I cared alot about him. Or did I? What if he did think that? That makes the fact that he kissed Summer even worse..It would mean that my love meant nothing to him..*

Tristan looked down at the two tickets he was holding in his hand. They were the PJ Harvey tickets from the time he had asked Rory. That day, she had said she hated him. And, she said it today. *But why? Did she see me and Summer? Is she jealous? Don't get your hopes up, DuGrey. She could careless.. But then, why would she be upset. Is she really falling for me? Or did she just say that out of anger?* He looked up and saw her staring at him. So, he approached her. "Rory, why are you mad at me? Was it Summer?" Rory nodded. "Oh. I don't understand why that would upset you. You've made it very clear that you only feel friendship feelings for me." Tristan pointed out.

"I know. I'm sorry for blowing up at you. I really don't know what got into me." Rory said meekly, wiping her tears and giving him a weak smile.

"It's alright. I don't really like Summer, anyway. So, we're good?" Tristan asked, grinning.

Rory nodded and stepped into his outstretched arms. He held her close and stroked her silky hair. His nose nuzzled her ear and he took in her scent. * I love you.* He knew how much he needed her and he wanted to tell her, but now was definitely not the time. He pulled away and smiled at her. Rory tried not to meet his eyes, she was blushing. She wasn't sure why, but she could feel her cheeks burn. She decided to lighten the mood. "Um, my mom wants us to meet her for dinner at six. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, of course. I'm ready for the interragation if you are." He gave her a knowing grin.

Rory smiled at him. At how much he already knew about the Gilmore Girls.


Luke's Diner. A while Later.

Lorelai sat down at a booth near the window. She was a little early, but she figured she wanted to be here before Rory and Tristan. Jess approached her table.

"What do you want?" He asked, taking out his notebook and pen.

Lorelai looked up at him. "Coffee until Rory and Tristan get here."

"Okay." Jess left and brought back her coffee. Deciding that he would try conversation, he settled himself in the seat across from Lorelai.

"Yes?" Lorelai asked, wondering what the hell he was doing.

"How long is Rory's dad here for?" Jess asked, politely.

"I'm not sure. Knowing him, he'll leave soon, though."

"Ah. So his visits are rare?"

"You could say that."

"Interesting. So, Rory and Tristan are meeting you here?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?" Jess asked, innocently.

"Talking to me."

"I'm trying to be nice and all that jazz."

"Ah. Did Rory put you up to this?"

"In a way."

"Hmm. Well, here she comes now." Lorelai grinned peering out the window at the two approaching teens. Jess stood up and went back to his work.

"MOMMY!" Rory squealed as she ran into the diner and threw her arms around Lorelai's neck. "Oh. I missed you. Evil One has been so mean to me." Rory pouted.

"Hey Lorelai." Tristan greeted.

"Is this true?" Lorelai gasped. "You've been evil to my baby?"

"Of course not. She's delusional." Tristan frowned.

"Well, I get it from her." Rory shrugged and pointed to Lorelai while sitting down next to Tristan in the booth. She put her hand on his knee and he put his hand over hers in a small squeeze. She grinned at him.

"JESS!" Lorelai called. Jess made his way to their table and Rory tried to avoid his eyes. He saw her and Tristan holding hands under the table and a slight frown made its way across his handsome face. "Three Gilmore Specials, please." Lorelai chirped. Jess nodded and headed back to the kitchens.

"Gilmore Specials?" Tristan inquired. "They actually named a meal after you two?"

"No, we just call the bacon cheeseburger with fries and coke the Gilmore Special because we always order it." Lorelai sighed.

"Oh well that makes sense." Tristan answered with a look of confusion on his face.

"So, kiddos, whatcha been up to today?"

"We sort of--erm-- went our seperate ways. I went to the mall with Jess and Tristan went with Summer." Rory put on an unusually fake smile and the look she got when she said Summer made Lorelai raise her eyebrows. Tristan stared at the table.

"You went to the mall with Jess?" Lorelai asked, less than thrilled.

"Yeah. So?"

"Ugh. Nevermind." Lorelai said, shaking her head.

"Mom! You're not giving him a chance!" Rory protested. "But, whatever...."

Just then Jess approached the table with their orders. "Lorelai," he said while putting down her burger. "Christian," he said to Tristan, intentionally getting the name wrong. "Mrs.DuGrey." He said rather coldly to Rory. Tristan raised his eyebrows.

"Jess! Come on, you said you'd stop." Rory reminded him.

"Stop what?"

"Calling me that!"

"You ashamed of it or something?" Jess asked, folding his arms. Tristan looked at Rory, waiting for her to answer.

"No, it's just--not my name." Rory said, hesitantly.

Jess opened his mouth to answer when Lorelai butted in. "Step off, Jess, okay?"

"Sure thing." Jess stalked off, looking upset. Rory watched him with concern on her face.

"Someone's jealous," Tristan stated.

"No, he's just making fun of the caller id name." Rory said.

"What?"

"When I call from that cellphone you gave me, it says Lorelai DuGrey on the caller id."

"It does?" Tristan asked, pleasantly surprised.

"Yep."

Tristan smirked. "My dad must've done it. Gee, Mary, he probably hears us at night. Instead of being immoral about it, I guess he assumed we were going to be married, huh?" He winked at her.

Rory let go of his hand and whacked him across the head. "I would never marry you." She taunted.

Tristan knew she was kidding around, but he felt hurt just the same. "Oh yeah? That's not the way you acted last night." Tristan smirked and moved his lips closer to her ear.

"Stop! You're gonna make my mom sick!" Rory protested.

"So you're saying that if she weren't here, you'd be thoroughly enjoying this?" Tristan mocked.

"Yes, she would." Lorelai chimed in. Rory opened her mouth to argue with her mother, but Lorelai cut her off. "Save it, Ror, you know you would." Lorelai smiled at her daughter's burning cheeks.

Tristan smirked, but said nothing else and ate his burger. Rory stole a glance at Jess who was wiping the counter over and over, looking over at Rory every now and then. Lorelai was already done with her burger and fries, being the speedy eater that she was.

"Mmm Mmm Good." Lorelai commented. "JESS! Can I have coffee?" She called. Jess nodded, poured some, and made his way to their table.

He sat down the coffee and looked at Lorelai, who was obviously thinking hard about something. "There you go, and yes, Luke's out of town visiting my dear mother."

"Why would I want to know?" Lorelai asked.

"You were just about to ask me." Jess smirked and walked off.

"Damn those mind readers." Lorelai shook her head at Jess's back. She turned her attention to Rory and Tristan. "So how is living with Evil One?"

"Fun, surprisingly." Rory admitted.

Tristan looked shocked. "Isn't that what you expected? I mean, you, of all people, should know, I bring the life to the party." Tristan hinted about Madeline's party.

Rory glared at him. "More like the death."

"Ouch. You'll have to mend my wound later on." He winked at her.

Rory turned her attention to her mother. "When's Dad leaving?"

Lorelai sighed. "I don't know. I wish it was sooner rather than later, though."

"Oh." Rory looked down at her half-eaten burger and fries.

"Well, kiddies, I better get going. Got lots of movies to watch and lots of junk food to eat." She smiled, drained her coffee, and stood up. "Bye, honey. Bye, Hot Boy." She giggled and skipped out of the diner.

Rory also stood up and her way to the counter where Jess was still cleaning it. "Could I have coffee to go?"

Jess nodded and made her some before placing it on the counter. Rory glanced back at Tristan, who made his way to the restrooms, then leaned over the counter and kissed Jess lightly on the lips. He looked at her a while and then a grin slowly made its way across his face. "Thank you." He said. She grinned at him and skipped out the diner with her coffee, waiting for Tristan by his car.


DuGrey Mansion. A while later.

Rory and Tristan went up to his room. Tristan took off his coat, and so did Rory. Tristan walked over to his large shelf full of movies. "Which movie?" he asked.

"Hmmm. How 'bout you pick?"

Tristan wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. "Something old and classical sound good?" He asked. Rory nodded. "Gone With the Wind?" He asked. Rory nodded eagerly, clapping her hands in approval. Tristan busied himself setting it up.

"Tristan?" Rory asked.

"Yeah, I'm gettin' the junk food." He smiled at her. Rory grinned.


About 2 Hours Later

Tristan sighed as the first tape ended. He had to get up and switch tapes. He didn't want to leave this position. He was sitting next to Rory, and she was curled up against him. He got up to switch the tapes, and Rory went to the restroom. *She smells so good. Stop, DuGrey, don't go there. But she feels so good curled up next to me, holding my hand. Control yourself. Don't lose her trust, DuGrey.* He sighed and laid full length on the loveseat, remote in hand. Rory came back and stared at him. He grinned and motioned for her to lay down. She walked over and laid full length on top of him, her head resting on his chest, his chin rested against her forehead. They continued to watch the movie, but Tristan couldn't keep his concentration on Rhett and Scarlett when Rory was laying on top of him. He moved his hand from hers and gently stroked her back. She felt so peaceful and relaxed, laying there. His chest would rise and fall when he breathed, and so would her head. It was rocking her to sleep, but she couldn't sleep. He smelled so good, he was hard to ignore. She lifted her head and gazed into his eyes, which had been looking down at her.

She smiled at him and leaned up a little so her face was close to his. "I missed you, Tristan." She muttered and kissed his lips gently. He was numb to the feel of her lips on his. He had waited forever for her to do that on her own. He kept his eyes open until he finally regained control of his lips. He closed his eyes and kissed her deeply, passionately, like he had been wanting to do since he came back. His hands ran over her back and through her hair, then came to rest at her sides. He broke the kiss and gently turned her over, so that he was resting on top of her. He kissed her again, with more passion. She let his tongue explore her mouth softly. Tristan was getting lost in the kiss, so he broke it off to regain control of his tingly body.

He gazed down into Rory's eyes and grinned. "I missed you, too." He stroked her silky hair with his hands and kissed her lips again. His lips were so soft and gentle, matching Rory's in texture. He moved them from her mouth down to her neck. He kissed her neck with slow movements and Rory closed her eyes to feel the sensation. It felt so good. When he reached a certain part on her neck, it sent a wave of pleasure through her and her whole body arched upward towards his. The feeling of her body against his, made Tristan groan with longing. He moved from her neck back to her lips and kissed them just as slowly and passionately as he had kissed her neck.

Rory had never been kissed like this, so full of passion and desire. Her body was numb with pleasure. She broke off the kiss and both were breathing heavy. She looked up into his eyes and her breath caught. His eyes were glazed with love and desire. She kissed him again but quit abruptly when she heard a loud noise. The two looked towards Tristan's door and saw Duncan standing there. He had just barged in. Tristan quickly got off Rory, and Rory, embarassed, stood up too. Duncan stared wide eyed at the two.

"Get out, Duncan." Tristan said. "I'm busy."

"I see." Duncan smirked. "Well, I guess she's not exactly Mary material anymore. Leave it up to Tristan to change that." Duncan grinned and exited Tristan's room.

"Uh- I better- go." Rory stammered. Her cheeks were bright red.

Tristan grinned and kissed her briefly. "Good night, babe." She smiled and crawled through the small door to her room. Tristan sighed and flopped down on the couch. "Wow."
