Disclaimer- BLAH! You know the drill!

A/N: Thanks for the reviews you guys!! You're wicked!! I'm glad you like this story! I had a review from my other story Losing Grip today, (it's a Trory, so Lit fans don't read it if you don't like Tristan!) it was signed annoyed and it said something along the lines of. OMG!! Y do you write about Tristan when you... blah blah blah. the said that they were a big Jess fan and that he was hot.. I know this, but what I don't understand is why did they read it if they knew it was a Trory, and it was plainly stated in the summary that it was a Trory.. I have nothing against this person, for all I know they read this story too. but why rag on the author when it was plainly stated in the summary and the first chapter that it was a trory? I know that he's left the show, I've watched GG since the beginning. People read these stories because they want to read about the ppl in the show. and Tristan was a pretty big part during the first season. And just for you Jess fans, I'd be saying the same thing! It just aggravates me that someone would leave a review ragging on the author about what paring it was. if you didn't like the pairing (and it was plainly stated where you could see it) why read the story??!! I'm EXTREMLY sorry for boring you, I just wanted to get that out there! I'm in a really good mood and I want to update this story! So review!!! .*smiles sheepishly* please?











Title: Things I'll Never Say

Chapter Six

Jess, shopping, and a little taste of Tristan











"So when do you want to move in?" Jess asked Rory as they walked into his and Tristan's apartment.

"As soon as possible," Rory told him. "I don't want to be a burden anymore."

"Rory, you could never be a burden!" Jess told her.

"I should go find some furniture!" Rory suddenly exclaimed, at that, the phone rang.

Jess grabbed it. "Hello?" Jess scratched his head. "Tristan, it's for you. It's Andrea." Tristan grabbed the phone. "I'll help you."

"I can't ask you to do that Jess!" Rory told him. "I've disrupted your life enough already!" Tristan hung up the phone.

"Guys, I have to take car of this. Rory," he told her. "I'll see you later, be ready at 8. Later Jess." Tristan walked out the door.

"What was that about?" Rory asked Jess, plopping down on a leather love seat.

"That was his twin sister," Jess shrugged. "It could have been about anything."

Rory stared at Jess for a moment. "Twin sister?"

"You didn't know he had a sister?"

"No."

"He has a brother too."

"What?!"

"Yep, an older brother." Jess nodded. He got up, "Let's go shopping."

"Did I just hear you correctly?" Rory looked at him. "Did Jess, my Jess, just say, 'Let's go shopping'?"

Jess grinned sheepishly. He liked the way she said 'My Jess.' "Yes you heard correctly. But it won't happen again!" Jess pulled her towards the door. They hailed a cab and headed to a major department store.



FIVE HOURS LATER



"Wow, that's gonna be a lot of stuff!" Rory nodded as she signed the last of the receipts. Jess and Rory headed to a café to grab a quick coffee before they headed back to their building. "Thank god the paper is gonna pay me for all this!"

Jess grinned. "Well Ms. Gilmore, how does it feel to be out on your own in a big city like this?"

"Great!" Rory grinned. "Really great! I have my own apartment, my own furniture, and I'll soon be able to my love nest on the go."

Jess sputtered. "Excuse me? Your what?" 'Wow,' Jess thought. 'She's changed.'

"Lighten up Jess," Rory laughed. "We should head back, they should be there with some of that stuff soon." Rory had bought everything for her apartment, she really went all out, and she had bought all the stuff she needed. "It's gonna take me ages to unpack everything! I need to pick up groceries too!"

"You cook?" Jess stared at her unbelievingly.

"Yes, it's amazing what a few classes can teach you these days!" Rory told him. They headed to the supermarket. She came out with so much food they had to get a cab just to get all of it to the apartment. When they got there, a delivery truck was all ready there. "Wow, that was fast." The moving men were carrying stuff up to her apartment. When they got up to her apartment, the men had everything piled into her living room. (I know it was fast!) Rory stared at the chaos around her. "Oh man!" As Rory and Jess began to unpack and move everything around, his cell phone rang.

"Rory, I hate to leave you with this." Jess told her. "But that was my editor and some bigwig is freaking out about something and I have to go take car of it. I will be back to help you later!" Rory smiled as he left. 'god love Jess.' She continued unpacking and setting everything up. Her couch and all her big items were already where they were suppose to be, so she didn't have to strain her self. She was putting up curtains when the doorbell rang.

"Who is that?" Rory mumbled to herself. She walked over and looked through the 'peep hole' it was Tristan dressed in a suit, holding flowers in one hand. "Shit!" she opened the door.

"Hey Rory, are you read- I can see that you're not." Tristan grinned.

"I'm sorry Tristan, I lost track of time!" Rory looked down at herself, she was wearing an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of what she liked to call her comfy pants. "Come in."

"Rory, we can do this some other time." Tristan told her. "I'll help you unpack. I'll just go change."

"Ok, we can go out another time, I can cook us dinner."

"You can cook?" Tristan looked at her.

"Why does everyone say that? Is it so unbelievable?" Rory shook her head. "Yes! I can cook!"

Tristan smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, these are for you. A house warming gift. I'll be back in a few." With that he left. Rory smiled, closing the door. She looked around, the living room was finished, so was the dining room and the kitchen. The bedroom, the study and the bathroom were left to finish. She sighed and wiped her forehead, this was going to be a long night. Tristan was back a few minutes later like he promised, dressed in a pair of nice fitting jeans and a tight ribbed, white T-shirt. "Put me to work, I'm your slave."

"The bedroom." Rory told him.

"Why Mary! I'm surprised! I knew you wanted me, but-"

"Save it DuGrey." Rory grinned. "Would you prefer the bathroom, the study or the bedroom to decorate?"

Tristan smirked. "I think. the bedroom." He nodded. "I could do damage."

"I'm sure you would." Rory mumbled.

"What was that Mary?" Tristan asked.

"Nothing."

"Would you like to find out?" he asked.

"Find out what?"

"What kind of damage I could do in a bedroom."

"As much as you wish I would talk you up on the offer, only in your dreams." Rory replied. "Now come on!" Rory grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the bedroom.

"Hmm, I like this." Tristan said. "I like it when they take charge." Rory gave him a deathly look and he decided it would be better to keep his mouth shut. Rory went off to the study to try and get that room organized. He smiled, 'she actually trusts me enough to arrange her bedroom.' He thought to himself. Tristan worked away until music was blasted from somewhere. He went to investigate. He found Rory in the study with the cd player blasting. He watched her as she danced around, off in her own little world. "You know." He spoke up. "You never did tell me who that song was by."

Rory jumped. "Tristan!" she threw a pillow at him, he caught it easily. "You frightened me have to death!" He just stood there with that smirk on. "That song from before was 'Why Don't You And I' by Santana and Chad Kroeger."

"It was a good song." Tristan replied. "I like this one too. I'm a big fan of Josh Hartnett."

"You've seen 40 days and 40 nights?" Rory asked him.

"Yep." Tristan replied.

"I love this song." Rory shrugged. This was just the kind of music Tristan expected Rory to listen too, Overload by Sugarbabes. He was surprised when something from Sum 41 came on next.

"I didn't think you were into this kind of stuff." Tristan said to her.

"There's a lot of stuff you don't know about me."

Tristan smiled. "I'd like to learn."

"How about something to eat? I'm starved." Rory chose to ignore what he had said.

"Sure, you want some help?" Tristan asked.

"You can cook?" Rory mocked.

"I'm sorry about that!" Tristan hung his head. "And yes I can cook, thanks to spending endless hours with the family chef Emmanuelle!"

"Speaking of family. I had no idea you had siblings." Rory said to him as they walked into the kitchen.

"I have a twin sister named Andrea and an older brother named Dylan." Tristan told her.

"I never knew that." Rory grabbed some things from the cupboards. "Wait, what would you like for dinner?"

"Anything is fine with me." Tristan told her. "Just put me to work." Rory smirked at him. The cooked dinner and settled in the living room at the coffee table to eat it. Tristan sat there with one leg propped up, his elbow resting on his knee. Rory sat next to him with her legs crossed. They talked about things that happened at Chilton, and where everyone was to now.

"So Paris really ran off and eloped with some guy from Princeton?" Tristan stared at Rory in amazement.

"Oh yeah, her parents went mad!" Rory laughed. "It was insane!"

"I can't believe Paris would do something like that!" Tristan grinned. "What happened after?"

"Well Paris realized what a mistake she had made when he wanted to name their first child after one of his Profs. She called her father and he called his lawyer and they were divorced immediately.

"Paris has a kid?"

"No," Rory shook her head. "They were just talking about names for when they did have one. She said there was no way that she would name her first child after a dingbat professor from a clown school."

Tristan smiled and shook his head. "Leave it to Paris! So what do you think about having kids?"

Rory began to choke on her water. "What?"

"Are you planning on having children?" Tristan asked.

"Umm, sometime," Rory shrugged. "I have to meet someone first." She grinned. "What about you?"

"Yeah, whenever I find the right person." He replied. "I love kids."

Rory looked at him for awhile. "I could see that." Tristan stared into her eyes. He leaned in giving her the slowest, most sensuous kiss she had ever had. She felt it from her head right to the tip of her toes.















A/N: I'm sorry for this insanely long chapter. I just wanted to get that scene there, and it took awhile. but stay tuned for Rory's date with Jess. ;) I gave you a taste of Tristan, now it's Jess' turn!
