Chapter 10: The Get-Together
Rory called her mother down to her apartment. She needed her and she could live through this alone.
Lorelai came about 10 o'clock and rushed into Rory's apartment.
"Rory? Are you ok?"
"Mom I called you for help, in this situation. I don't need you to nurse me back to health. I'm not five."
"Well I am your mother, I can do both. And to me you will always be five." Lorelai said as she pressed Rory's face into her chest.
"You're right what was I thinking?" Rory said while trying to break free from Lorelai. Lorelai was getting jumpy so she decided, "Let's go into the kitchen, and you tell me everything that happened." Lorelai said while dragging Rory in there.
Rory sat down and started telling her. "Well, last night Tristan and I had to work late. We kind of got close. Then he asked me out for tonight." She noticed her mother making coffee, but she realized that her mother could do anything when it comes to coffee. "But I couldn't wait. I called him about 2ish. He left to come back here to find his briefcase that he had never left. I made a few passes. But it was all wrong, I drove him away." Rory saw her mother shaking her head in agreement and then asked, " So what does that mean?"
"Well Rory, first things first tell me how long have you been with Tristan?"
"Technically, I haven't really been with Tristan, we went out once or twice."
"Ok, second your going at it all wrong. I mean he may even just want a friendship relationship."
"I don't think so, I mean I have seen the way he looks at me, like a goddess."
Rory started to go into a daze thinking about him.
"Well Rory, you better get your head out of the clouds and get rid of the holier then thou attitude that you have gotten. Because it sounds to me you're on a tall pedestal and one of these days it could all come down. Maybe you could've read the signals all-wrong. I mean he sounds like a nice guy now. Plus he has probably changed a whole lot." Lorelai noticed that she was starting to preach to Rory so she shut up.
"I didn't mean to be so fresh with him last night." She said, "To top it all off, Dean wants to do something. Does he have ESP or something?"
"I'm so sorry honey."
"Mom, It's not your fault." She said to Lorelai who was looking at her fingers nails as if she did something wrong.
"Actually," Lorelai said while looking at Rory.
"I can't believe you it, my own mother. Why would you do that to me, Mother?"
"I will tell you if you stop saying it like that."
"Ok sorry, why, mom, why?"
"I didn't know that you were with someone. I just wanted to see a pair of old friends together again."
"I can't believe it."
"I'm sorry." Lorelai said, "I didn't mean it what do you want me to do? Have Paris go out with Dean?" Lorelai said sarcastically.
"Well, that sounds.no.What am I talking about?" Rory put her head in her hands. It hurt too much to think about anything.
"I think I have helped you long enough. It's noon now I am going to head home."
"Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Rory said while moving her hands away from her face.
"I'm sure." Lorelai told Rory. "Rest sweetheart, you look like crap."
"I will." Rory said. With a smile she said, "Thanks."
Lorelai left Rory's apartment but didn't want to go straight home. So she got into her car and drove into Hartford. While driving into Hartford Lorelai noticed a Café, so decided to stop to get coffee. She realized that she made coffee at Rory's but never drank it.
~~~~~ In the Café ~~~~~
Lorelai took a sit once she got her coffee. She started to think about Rory. Then she thought about Rory and Dean, and how their relationship was so innocent. While taking a few sips of her coffee she noticed a blonde hared man looking at her. She tried to ignore it but she then saw him walk up to her.
"Hi?" he said to Lorelai hoping that she would remember him.
"Hi, how are you?" Lorelai answered. She should know this person because he looked very familiar.
"You don't remember me do you?" He asked her.
"No, I remember you face, but not the name. I have a bad memory." Lorelai said to him.
"It's Tristan. Miss Gilmore. I met you 5 years ago at the Chilton Graduation.
"Actually it's Mrs. Lorelai Danes. Just Lorelai is fine. I do remember. Vaguely but I remember."
"Congratulations. So how are you?"
"Well Tristan I'm good. Rory told me that you two were working together."
At that Tristan had gotten a little flustered, so he had decided to excuse himself. "Well I better get back to work. I just went here to get lunch."
"Okay, well have a good day, Tristan."
" You to Mrs. Danes." At that Tristan ran as fast as he could out of there. He had no idea why Rory wasn't at work today. But he wasn't going to talk to her mother about what happened.
~~~~~ At Rory's Apartment ~~~~~
Rory was on the phone with Lane.
"Lane, can you please come over?" Rory needed a friend.
"Rory, sweetheart I can't, I have our college roommates coming over for a week. Rory knew it too.
"I totally forgot. All six of you in that apartment?" Rory said she suddenly thought of the perfect idea. "Lane, why don't you guys come very here for a week. I would mind. Plus I want to she what Catherine," Rory was about to finish her thought Lane corrected her.
"Cat, don't you remember, she was crazy like a cat, so that's will we called her that. And plus she like it as well."
"Right. You know I remember that but.whatever. I really want to see what Annie, Cat, Katerina, Katie, and Gretchen have been up too. Come on. I would love if you guys would come over. Come on, Lane that would be absolutely perfect."
"Fine, Rory you win. We will all come over. Except Katerina she can't make it, you know her. So, Right after they get here I will shove them right out the door. Even though they have been in the car already for four long hours. What's another twenty minutes to Hartford."
"Okay, that's settled, they go see your apartment and then you all come here, great."
"Well, I will be there in an hour with Annie, Cat, Katie and Gretchen."
"Great bye, see ya soon." Rory said with a smile, she had pleaded with Lane for a good long half-hour.
Once she hung up the phone with Lane she picked it right back up to call Dean. She had a reason for not being able to go out. She heard it ring once, then again.
"Hello?" someone said on the other line.
"Hi this is Rory, is Dean home?" Rory asked the person.
"I'm sorry Rory, Dean's not home right now," the person said. " Can I take a message?"
"Can you just tell him that I can't make it tonight. I had made previous plans. Thanks." She hung the phone up after leaving the message. She had felt good about telling him the truth. But know what was she going to tell Tristan.
