*~*~*:-)*~*~* Bye, smile :-)

When Rory got out of the car, she could already hear the music. She looked at Tristan's house. She had never seen a house as big as this one before. As she and Jess got closer to the house, the music got louder. When Rory followed Jess up the steps to the door, she started to feel a little bit scared. All the people at this party already had experience with parties and she had none. Jess rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door. Rory hesitated, but grabbed Jess's hand.

Jess looked at her, when she grabbed his hand. She had a worried look on her face. He squeezed her hand and locked eyes with her, trying to reassure her that everything was going to be all right and that it was just a party.

Rory smiled. She felt safe, now that she and Jess were holding hands. As if nothing in this world could hurt her. And it didn't feel that bad either.

The door flew open and Rory looked away, but she didn't let go of his hand.

T: ''Mary, you made it. And Jesse, right ?''

J: ''It's Jess actually. You don't mind that I came to your party Trixie ?''

T: ''Of course not. If Mary brought you then you're more than welcome.''

J: ''Thanks. Aren't you going to invite us in ?''

Tristan clenched his teeth and let Jess and Rory in. He was expecting Dean, but he didn't expect Rory to bring Jess with her.

Rory held back a smile, when she saw how annoyed Tristan was.

T: ''So, where's Dean ?''

Rory didn't answer him, but just looked at the floor.

T: ''Ah, trouble in paradise. I'm right, aren't I ?''

Rory bit her lip and nodded.

T: ''He didn't want you to go, did he ?''

R: ''No.''

T: ''But you came anyway, that must have pissed him of.''

Rory looked up at Tristan. Jess saw that she had a hurt look on her face.

J: ''What's with all the questions ?''

T: ''Just interested.''

J: ''I'll bet.''

T: ''So, you're her second choice ?''

R: ''Tristan.''

She shot him a warning look.

Tristan smirked at her and kept staring at her, until she looked away.

T: ''You want me to stop Mary ? Cause all you have to say is yes.''

R: ''Yes.''

T: ''Fine. I have to get back to my guests. Enjoy the party and save me a dance will you Mary. Jess.''

Tristan nodded at Jess, gave Rory one last look and went back to his friends.

Jess still couldn't believe what a jerk this guy was. He reminded him too much of himself, when he was still living in New York.

R: ''Sorry about that, Tristan's just................he's just like that.''

J: ''I can handle him, don't worry.''

R: ''Yeah, I noticed. I don't think he liked it when you called him Trixie.''

J: ''Really ? Huh.''

Rory laughed.

J: ''Let's go get something to drink.''

R: ''Okay Jesse.''

J: ''Don't start.''

R: ''Why not Jesse ?''

J: ''Follow me Mary.''

R: ''I'm stopping now.''

J: ''Good.''

Jess led Rory to the other side of the room, where the food and drinks were.

R: ''There's no coffee.''

J: ''You're unbelievable

R: ''What ?''

J: ''Nothing, just take something else.''

Jess got a bottle of beer and opened it. He took a sip and handed Rory the bottle.

R: ''Yeah right, like that's ever going to happen.''

Jess shrugged.

J: ''Suit yourself.''

Rory got a cup and filled it with punch. When she was just about to take a sip, Jess took the cup out of her hands.

R: ''What are you doing ?''

J: ''Take something else.''

R: ''Why ?''

J: ''Because this punch is probably spiked.''

When Jess saw the look of disbelief on Rory's face, he smiled. She was so not used to these kind of parties.

J: ''Relax, it's not like you drank any.''

R: ''Right.''

J: ''You're lucky that I came with you.''

Jess met her gaze.

R: ''Whatever, I'm going to the kitchen and see if I can find some water or something.''

J: ''I'll be right here.''

Jess watched Rory head for the kitchen. When she was gone, he looked around the room. He hadn't been to a party in a while now. But for some reason he didn't really miss it.

Rory was just about to head back to Jess, when someone grabbed her arm and stopped her.

T: ''Hey Mary, if you wanted a tour of the house, all you had to do was say so. We can start at the bedroom and work our way down from there.''

He winked at her and leaned against the door frame.

Rory didn't understand, why he kept trying. She already told him no over a million times. No matter how many times she told him that she had a boyfriend, he still kept flirting with her.

R: ''I don't think so Tristan.''

She wanted to walk passed him, but he stopped her, by grabbing her arm.

T: ''Leaving so soon ?''

R: ''I have to get back to Jess.''

T: ''Yeah, about that. What's up between you two ?''

R: ''Nothing.''

T: ''Really ? You two looked pretty close before, you know holding each others hands and all. That's so sweet.''

R: ''We're friends.''

T: ''Does Dean think that you two are just friends ?''

Rory didn't answer.

T: ''Didn't think so.''

R: ''Why do you care ?''

Rory looked up at Tristan.

T: ''I don't.''

R: ''Are you sure ?''

T: ''Maybe.''

Rory shook her head and smiled.

Tristan knew that he couldn't fool her. He did care for her. And he would be lying if he said that seeing her with Jess, didn't hurt him a little. More than a little as a matter of fact. Tristan slid his hand from her arm to her hand. He grabbed her hand and started to rub it with his dumb.

Rory followed his every move. She wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't. It just felt so good. Her mind went back to the kiss that she and Tristan shared.

T: ''You wanna dance ?''

R: ''I already told you, Jess is waiting for me.''

T: ''I'm sure he can wait for five more minutes.''

R: ''Actually he can't.''

Rory pulled her hand back and took a step back.

T: ''You're afraid, aren't you Mary ? Admit it.''

R: ''What do you mean ?''

T: ''You're afraid of what will happen between us.''

R: ''No, I'm not.''

T: ''Then prove it, dance with me.''

Rory backed away from him some more.

J: ''She can't.''

Rory let out a sigh of relief, when she heard Jess' voice.

T: ''And why is that Jesse ?''

Jess shot him an annoyed look.

J: ''Because how can she dance with you, when she's dancing with me ?''

Jess reached out his hand and Rory took it.

J: ''Great party Trixie, I mean Tristan.''

Tristan had to keep himself from punching Jess. He had way too much attitude. He watched him and Rory go to the dance floor. He gave them one last look. before he went back to his friends. Jess couldn't protect her the entire night.

When they were on the dance floor, Jess slid his arms around Rory's waist. Rory hesitated, before putting her arms around Jess' neck.

They said nothing while they were dancing. When a slow song came on, Rory wanted to stop dancing. But when she saw Tristan looking at her, she changed her mind.

Jess knew that she was only dancing with him, because she didn't wanna dance with Tristan. But he didn't care. This just felt right somehow. He pulled her a little closer.

R: ''Thanks, for everything.''

J: ''No problem.''

Rory rested her head on his shoulder. She knew that what she was doing wasn't right. And if Dean found out, he would probably never forgive her. But she didn't care, it felt right. Dancing with Jess and being so close to him.

It surprised Jess, when Rory put her head on his shoulder. He wasn't complaining, but he wondered if she knew what she was doing ? It just wasn't like her. But on the other hand it was just a dance, nothing more. He slid one hand up her back and started to wrap a strand of her hair around his finger.

Rory almost lost her self control, when she felt Jess' hand slid up her back. She smiled and ran one of her hands through his hair. She always wanted to that.

Jess grabbed Rory even tighter, when he felt her fingers in his neck and in his hair. He was hoping that this moment would never end. He just wanted to hold her in his arms forever. But of course the song ended and with that the magic between them was gone.

R: ''Thanks for dancing with me.''

J: ''It was my pleasure.''

Jess smirked at her. Suddenly it occurred to Rory that she and Jess were still standing real close and that his hands were still playing with her hair. Jess must have noticed it too, because he removed his arms around his waist. Rory removed her hands from around his neck too and ran her hands through her hair.

R: ''I think Tristan won't bother me anymore tonight.''

Right Tristan. How could he forget. This was all an act. Suddenly he wanted to get out of here. He wanted so much more, but Rory just wanted to be friends. And she had a boyfriend, so he didn't stand a chance anyway. He turned around and started to head towards the door.

R: ''Jess, where are you going ?''

J: ''I'm going outside for a minute.''

Before he went outside, he stopped. It wasn't Rory's fault, it was just............Why did she have to be so................Rory. Why couldn't she just be like all the other girls ? He turned around to face her.

J: ''I'll be right back. Are you going to be okay ?''

R: ''Yeah, sure. Is everything okay ?''

J: ''Yeah, I just need some fresh air.''

R: ''Okay.''

Rory watched Jess leave the house. Something was bothering him ? She was trying to decide if she should follow him or not ? Probably not, he just wanted some time alone. She turned around and bumped in to someone.

R: ''Sorry.''

T: ''It's my fault, I wasn't looking.''

R: ''Tristan.''

T: ''So, what happened to Jesse ?''

R: ''He needed some fresh air Trixie.''

T: ''If you haven't noticed yet, I'm not a girl.''

R: ''And if you haven't noticed yet, Jess.................isn't a girl.''

T: ''Really ?''

R: ''Whatever. If you need me I'll be in the kitchen.''

T: ''Actually I need you.''

Rory crossed her arms and met his gaze.

R: ''Tristan, I'm not...............''

T: ''Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to sleep with me or anything.''

Rory started to blush and avoided Tristan's eyes. Tristan smiled. He enjoyed the way she got embarrassed so easy.

T: ''Me and some friends of mine are going to play a game and I was wondering if you would like to join us ?''

R: ''That depends.''

T: ''On what ?''

R: ''On what kind of game you guys are going to play ?''

Tristan started to laugh.

T: ''Mary, sometimes you still amaze me.''

R: ''Is that a good thing ?''

T: ''Better than you know.''

R: ''You still haven't told me what game it is that you guys are going to play.''

T: ''Guess.''

R: ''Monopoly.''

Tristan gave her a sly smile and moved closer to Rory, so that he could whisper in her ear.

T: ''Spin the bottle.''

Rory shivered, when Tristan whispered in her ear. She quickly took a step back.

T: ''So, what do you say ?''

R: ''No.''

T: ''Why not ? Scared ?''

R: ''Well, no.''

T: ''Then why not ?''

Rory couldn't think of anything and before she could do anything, Tristan led her to the living room. In the middle of the room a couple of people where sitting on the floor in a circle. Rory sat down and Tristan sat down across from her. Tristan looked at her, before he spun the bottle. The bottle spun fast at first, but it started to spun slower and slower. Finally it stopped at Rory. Rory couldn't believe it. Out of all the people, it landed on her. She wanted to get up, but Tristan grabbed her and started to kiss her. Rory couldn't stop him, because he was holding her hands. Finally he let go of her. Rory looked at Tristan, who had a smile on his face. But he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at something behind her. Rory turned her head, to look what it was that Tristan was looking at. When she saw who it was, she got scared. He wasn't supposed to see her kiss Tristan. He wasn't even supposed to be here. Dean locked eyes with her. He looked shocked and mad. Who could blame him ? He turned around and headed for the door.

R: ''Dean ! Dean wait !''

Rory got up and followed Dean outside. Tristan had a satisfied look on his face. He just wanted to kiss Rory and make Jess jealous, but having Dean here was a bonus. He got up and started to head for the door too. He wasn't going to miss this. He wanted to see the look on Dean's face, when he found out that Rory came here with Jess. Cause he was pretty sure, that she didn't tell him that little detail.
