*AN: Be happy, I continued my story just for you guys. :)*
A week and a half past by, Tristan and Rory spent more time working together on their English project during after school and weekends. It was Wednesday morning when Rory woke up with a very painful headache and sore body. Lorelai decided that she needed rest.
"I can't! I have to do his last minute project! It's due tomorrow," Rory whined
"Rory, you can't even stand up and you have a painful headache over there, do you think you can survive school for today? Come on, you stay home and rest and when you feel a little better, that's when you can do your project," Lorelai said in a worried tone
"fine," Rory shrugged and closed her eyes. Lorelai sighed and closed Rory's bedroom door and went to her room to get her stuffs ready but then she decided that she needs to stay at home and take care of Rory.
An hour later
*Ring, ring*
Lorelai frowned and went to Rory's room, she was asleep and Lorelai saw Rory's phone blinking with light on the table
"Hello?" Lorelai answered
"uh hello? You're not Rory,"
"yes, she's sleeping and who is this?" Lorelai asked
"uh, it's Tristan,"
"oh hey Tristan, how are you? Are you cutting classes?"
"I'm good and no, I'm not cutting classes. I'm calling during recess if that's what you want to know…"
"yep, good boy. So how is the project doing?" she asked
"that's why I called…I was looking for Rory and then Paris told me she's not in school and we have this last minute project and Rory has some of the stuffs,"
"oh I see, she mentioned that to me earlier but I made her stay home from school,"
Tristan frowned, "why? Is she sick?"
Lorelai sighed, "yeah. Listen, about your last minute project, why don't you come over after school and probably my dear daughter would be feeling much better then,"
"well alright, I'll come over, thanks,"
"no problem kid, see you later," Lorelai said and hung up. He really cares for Rory doesn't he?
"Hmmm…" Rory groaned when she woke up later in the afternoon. She felt weak and sore. She rubbed her eyes and turned to her side and gasped when she saw something that shouldn't be there.
"Tristan?" she said in a hoarse voice, "what are you doing here?"
Tristan gave her a weak smile, "well I called earlier because you were not in school and we have this last minute to finish the project so your mom suggested me to come over here and pick it up,"
"hmm…where's my mom?" she asked weakly
"she went to get coffee and asked me to stay for awhile," he replied
"I'm sorry about not able to help on the project…"
"hey, it's okay, I can do it, no big deal,"
Rory shrugged, "I feel like you did most of the work,"
Tristan chuckled, "not really, I would say you did 2¾ / 4 and me 1¼ / 4,"
"gees, I should have left the three forth to you to make it even…"
Tristan smiled, "so how are you feeling Rory?"
"a little sore, maybe I can make it to school tomorrow, I can't miss another day," Rory shrugged
"oh well, I copied down the assignments for you if you want to do the homework…"
"I'll do them…when I feel strong enough to write later, thanks,"
"no problem,"
"Tristan?" it was Lorelai
"in here," Tristan called. Shortly Lorelai arrived with three cups of coffee
"here, yours and yours," she handed Tristan and Rory a cup
Tristan frowned at Rory's cup
"what?"
"you're sick and you drink coffee when you're sick?"
Rory chuckled, "coffee is my medicine and to tell you the truth, it makes me feel a little better," she took a sip and smiled
Tristan shook his head, "you and your mom's addiction on coffee, is too much,"
"blame it on my mom for giving me coffee when I was still an infant instead of milk,"
Lorelai chuckled, "I don't regret it,"
"but milk is healthier than coffee,"
"true but our body works better with coffee," Lorelai said
"true," Rory added
Tristan chuckled, "okay, okay, so by the way I better get going so I could get the project done," he said standing up from the chair
She nodded her head, "thank you Tristan,"
"it's nothing Rory, I hope to see you in school tomorrow, bye Lorelai,"
"bye ex E.T."
"ex E.T.?"
"don't ask Tristan, just go," Rory said, Tristan frowned and nodded before leaving.
"ex E.T.?" Rory said
"ex Evil Tristan, he's far from being mean and evil for now and I find him nice and charming,"
"nice and charming eh? I won't agree with the word charming,"
"oh….what? gorgeous? Handsome? Hot?" Lorelai teased
"none of those words,"
"oh, my daughter is in denial about how charming Tristan is!"
"I'm not!"
"is so,"
"is not,"
"is so,"
"is not!"
"is so!"
"urg! Is the word nice about Tristan not enough?"
"nu-uh, the word nice is for the personality and there should be an adjective that goes for the looks, and that's the rule, and it's either charming, handsome, hot or gorgeous because the opposite of those words never match him,"
"then I'll say he's a little decent looking, how about that?" Rory groaned
"decent looking? Oh…now what happened to Evil Tristan. Evil Tristan suddenly becomes Nice and Decent Tristan?"
"that is what is bothering me," Rory shrugged
"bothering you? Why?" Lorelai asked as she sat down on Rory's bed
"because he's unpredictable. One minute he's nice and polite and then the next minute, he's Evil Tristan again, he changes every minute or like it and it frustrates me,"
"and which one to you like better?"
"nice Tristan…"
Lorelai nods
"and it's easier to talk to him if he's not being a jerk,"
nods
"but you know, when he's nice and polite, his real self shows, no cocky Tristan or the King of Chilton attitude,"
nods
"I wished he doesn't have to be so cocky and a jerk…"
nods again
"why do you keep nodding your head mom? Aren't you gonna get a headache from it?" Rory said
"because you like Nice Tristan kiddo," Lorelai said and quickly left the room
"I don't like Tristan!"
"I won't say anymore kiddo because you know it's true!"
"arg!" Rory groaned and covered her head with the pillow.
"Boy, it seems you have been getting sick a lot Rory, why don't you go and have a check up with a doctor?" Paris said instead of greeting her the next morning
"hello Paris good morning, I'm fine and how are you?" Rory said
"good morning Rory," Paris sighed
"there, much better,"
"so how are you? Feeling much better?" Paris asked
"better than I can be, have you seen Tristan?"
"looking for me Mary?" Rory turned to see Tristan walking toward them with a smirk on his face
"then Evil Tristan is back again…" Rory mumbled
"what was that?"
"nothing, so you got the project done Bible Boy?"
"uhuh and I ended up sleeping past midnight, man I'm so sleepy,"
Rory smirked, "don't you think you deserve it for awhile?"
Paris chuckled, she loved seeing Rory teasing Tristan
"ouch," he says
Rory smiled, "well, we better get to class now guys…"
