Chapter Fifteen
Questions In My Head
***Three Months Later, Gilmore House***
Rory hummed a happy tune to herself as she did her laundry. Satisfied that all the clothes in the washer were all sorted properly
she shut the lid. Glancing at the clock, she realized she had an hour until Tristan was supposed to pick her up. *Just enough
time to go to Luke's.*
Ever since she had opened herself up to Tristan three months earlier, everything between them had been perfect. Totally and
completely. She couldn't remember feeling so good with a guy before. And tonight was their anniversary. *Hopefully he doesn't
pull a Dean on me tonight. No, Tristan would never ever do that to me. He wouldn't push me into anything I'm not ready for.
Right?*
As she pushed open the door of Luke's, she also pushed the negative thoughts out of her head.
"Hey honey! Excited for your big night?" Lorelai asked her daughter cheerfully.
"Yeah, but I'm a little nervous too," Rory admitted.
"I swear, if that kid does anything to hurt you, I'll make sure he pays," Luke said gruffly.
"He won't," Lorelai reassured him. Then turning to her daughter, "What are you so nervous about? You know he loves you."
"Yeah, that's just it."
"Okay, I'm a little confused here. Most people like to know they're loved," Lorelai said puzzled.
"He hasn't told me he loves me since we've started dating, even though I know he does. What if tonight he says it and I can't
say it back?" Rory asked, with a worried expression on her face.
"Oh, I get it now."
"There's nothing to get."
"Yeah there is. You're scared he's gonna pull a Dean on you, right?" Lorelai asked.
"No. Maybe. Ok, yes."
"Honey, Tristan is not Dean. For starters, he's a lot hotter. Dean never had that kind of body-"
"Mom!" Rory interrupted her. "Could you please stay on topic here?"
"Oh, right. Anyways, Tristan isn't going to make the same mistake that Dean did. If he really loves you, there shouldn't be any
pressure for you to say it back."
"I know. But I still can't help feeling worried," Rory said, biting her lip nervously.
"It'll be okay. I promise."
"I hope so."
***One hour later, in Tristan's car on the way to the restaurant***
"Hey, are you okay?" Tristan gave Rory a concerned glance.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Great, actually," Rory replied with a smile that was a bit too cheerful.
"If you're sure..." Tristan's voice trailed off.
"No, I'm not okay. I'm scared."
"Rory, I would never hurt you."
"I know; that's not what I'm scared of."
"Then what is it?" Tristan asked.
"I'm scared that you're going to tell me you love me and I'm not going to be able to say it back." Rory said in a rush.
