Chapter 4: Reconsidering
Rory asked, "Tristan, You know that this was meant strictly as a friends date?"
"I wouldn't have had it any other way." He said with a straight face. He tried to hold in his emotions after that whole Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You scene.
"Good, because things are a little complicated now."
"Rory, No need to explain."
"I'm so glad that you understand."
While looking at the road in front of them, Tristan asked, "So, do you want to go home?"
"Yeah, just drop me off at my car by the coffee shop."
"Ok."
"I had fun tonight as friends."
"Yeah, same here except for those time when you threw out a come-on."
"I'm sorry about that," Tristan looked like he was about to say something when Rory stopped him, "I wanted the date to be something different at the beginning. I should never had made those advances. The movie has made all my thoughts get cloudy."
"Rory, like I said before, No need to explain."
"I hope you aren't upset." Was all she could say before getting out of his car and getting into her own.
With a straight face again, but this time he looked at her, and gave her a smile, "Really Rory. I'm fine. Have a good night."
"You too, Tristan."
~~~~~At her Apartment~~~~~
Once Rory got to her apartment she went to check her messages. *You have 2 Messages* it said in a robotic voice. * 1st message * it said then started to play the message.
"Hi Rory, It's mom. How are you? Well I was in town today and you are never going to believe who I saw. That's right, Dean. To tell you the truth, because Luke is making me, I knew that he was in town since Wednesday. I didn't know how to tell you, I'm sorry. But anyway, Luke and I are going to your grandparents tonight and I thought that you might like to come. Call me soon, if you can.I love you."
Rory didn't bother to hear the message again. So she left it and let the second message run. It started to play * 2nd Message* " Rory.um. Hi, it's Dean again. So, what are you up too? I'm just sitting here waiting for your phone cal. But yeah, ok, that was lame. So, I was wondering if you would like to join me and my sister and her boyfriend tomorrow for the afternoon. There is this play in Hartford that I thought that you might enjoy. We you can get in touch with my at 822-8194."
Rory didn't know what to do. 'The Date' was great; it wouldn't be a bad thing if she goes to the play tomorrow. They aren't serious. She decided to call Dean and talk to him about the play. It took about 3 rings to get through. "Hello," the person on the other line said.
"Hi this is Rory, is Dean there?"
"Hi Rory, hold on."
"Thanks." She said, she was getting a bit nervous about going out with Dean.
"Dean, here?"
"Hi Dean, It's Rory."
"Hi, so you got my message? I thought that you were backing out."
"Yeah, I got your message, actually, just a second ago." She had gotten a little ticked at that remark. As if she was staying at home just waiting for his message, she is not a puppy.
"Oh, sorry, so what are you doing tomorrow?"
"Well, if the offer still stands I would like to come to the play."
"Sure, well, how about I pick you up, with my sister and her boyfriend. Then we could go over the play."
"Yeah, that's fine." She was all of a sudden getting comfortable about this. "So I guess I will see you tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow at noon then. Oh, I almost forgot, tell me where you live."
"Oh right, umm. Its apartment buildings, well more like condominiums. Called Elite, I'm in building 4; there are 6 buildings, with 2 floors and 4 apartments on each floor. Room D-4. It's really not that hard to find."
"So tomorrow then. Bye Rory."
"Bye, Dean." Once she got off the phone with him she was very excited. She decided to go to bed; she thought that the night couldn't get any worse.
She had a little trouble sleeping again, though. She had this dream that she couldn't forget. She was in the parking lot in the middle of the day. She was just standing there getting ready to get into her car until, this big muscular hand touches her shoulder and turns her around. She sees that it is Dean, he starts kissing her, but she pushes him away. Then they start to bicker about her being with another guy now, and Dean won't accept it. He gets so mad he pushes her into the car door and storms off. After having that dream she woke up again all sweaty, that is the second time in one week.
While sitting up in her bed she didn't know what to do. She just sat there staring at her phone, taking into consideration calling Dean and telling him that she couldn't go to the play. But she couldn't do that; it was to late to call his house. So, she decided to try to fall back asleep.
~~~~~Outside her Apartment~~~~~
It was about 12 Rory was waiting outside her apartment building for Dean. She thought that it would be best if he didn't come up to her apartment. While waiting for Dean, she saw Tristan. She saw him, but he didn't actually see her. She couldn't believe out of all the apartments in all of Hartford, he is in the came community as Rory. He was going to get his mail in front of Apartment building 3. After she had noticed him go into his building Dean and his sister pulled up.
"Hi Dean, Hi Clara." She said as she got into the car.
"Hi Rory, boy you have a good memory." Clara said.
"Thanks"
"So have you been waiting outside long? I didn't tell you too." Dean asked
"I know but I thought that it would take up too much time, with coming inside to get me."
"That's true Dean. Rory, I want you to meet my boyfriend Chris."
""Hi Chris," she said. "Nice to meet you."
"Back atcha."
"So, What play are we going to see?"
"Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew." Dean answered still concentrating on the road.
"Oh, that's my favorite. What's you favorite Shakespearean play?" directing the question to everyone in the car.
Chris was the first to respond. "Much ado about nothing."
"My favorite would have to be Romeo and Juliet." Clara told Rory, "Its so romantic. What about you Dean?"
"My favorite Shakespearean play would have to be Othello."
"Oh Renaissance man, good movie," Chris said. "I like when they go to the play on the bus. That's a funny part."
"So, Rory what are you up too? What College did you go too?"
"Well, Clara, right now I am in the attorney office at Ramdial & Grant. I went to Harvard after graduating Chilton."
"Wow, Harvard? You probably graduated top in your class."
"Actually," Rory was going to tell her the whole story about all four years in college, but didn't want to upset Dean.
They got to the Theater and Dean was ready to jump out of the truck. "We're here."
"Good." They all said in unison.
~~~~~Inside the theater~~~~~
The seating arrangement was pretty simple Boy-Girl-Boy-Girl. Dean and Rory were pretty quiet during the performance. During the play Chris and Clara started to hold hands. All that Rory could do was look on in awe. She missed that; she wanted that more then ever. Maybe Dean and herself were moving farther apart.
Once the play ended and the people started to leave, Rory recognized someone there. Now this was strange for Rory, last night on her date with Tristan she started to think about Dean after she saw the movie. But this afternoon with Dean, she saw Tristan. She physically saw Tristan; she didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether to say hi with Dean there and have a spectacle between the two. She really had a problem.
On the way back to Dean's car she asked, "Could you drop me off at home. I am not feeling well." Which was actually not to far from the truth.
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Thanks."
~~~~~ Back At Her Apartment~~~~~
She was pacing in her living room for a good 20 minutes. She was burning a hole in the wooden floor. She didn't know what to do. Should she tell Tristan that it was a mistake? Will he take her back? She decided to go to his apartment and talk to him. What was the worst that could happen?
Once she got to his apartment she knocked on the door. He didn't answer the first time. She tried a second. He still didn't answer. She thought that maybe he wasn't home yet from the play, he probably went out afterwards. So, she decided to go to her apartment and think about what she was going to say to him. She will wait until Monday to talk to him. It wasn't that long, only 18 hours until she sees him at work. 'That's fine you will see him Monday,' is what she kept repeating to herself.
