After the song had ended Rory and Jess left the dance floor. As they were going to get something to drink Paris came up to her.
Paris: 'Hey Rory. I hadn't even noticed you were here. How are you? How is college treating you?'
Rory: 'Paris, hi.What a surprise. College is fine.'
Jess got bored because of the conversation and decided to walk over to the punch bowl and get himself the drink he had wanted. When he got to the punch bowl he felt someone come up to him. He turned around and saw Gabriela approaching him.
Gabriela: 'Hey Jess.'
Jess: 'Hi. Would you like some punch?'
Gabriela: 'Sure, thanks.'
Jess handed her a cup of the beverage and took some for himself as well. She motioned for him to follow her and they went to a corner of the room where they found a table so they could sit down and chat more comfortably.
Gabriela: 'Can I be a bit blunt here?'
Jess: 'Ehm.Yeah, sure, tell me what's on your mind.'
Gabriela: 'Quite honestly you don't strike me as the kind of guy that would date a girl like Rory.I mean, no offense, but she seems kind of innocent.'
Jess: 'Really? And why is it you think that? You don't know that much about either of us, do you?'
Gabriela: 'No I don't, but I know guys like you and girls like her'.
As she said this she moved closer to him and put one of her hands on his left leg. She started stroking it and smiling seductively into, while looking straight into his eyes. Jess couldn't help but notice how perfect her face was and how seductive her breasts looked, trying to get out of the dress she was wearing. This was the kind of girl he had been used to seeing before he had known Rory. If it were 3 years earlier he probably wouldn't even have hesitated and would have taken her silent proposal without a second thought. But not this time.Now he had Rory. And she loved him as much as he loved her.He was just going to have to be patient with the physical part.
Meanwhile Tristan had approached Rory and Paris.
Tristan: 'Paris. Well, I certainly have missed you.'
Paris: 'No need to be sarcastic Tristan. I am not the naïve girl I was before, thinking you were the greatest thing in the world, while you only made fun of me.'
Tristan: 'Now, now, don't be so harsh on me. You know I meant it well.'
Tristan responded Paris in an uninterested tone. All he wanted was for her to leave him alone with Rory, so he could have a talk with her and figure out was his chances where with her. Fortunately for him Paris was not interested in seeing him either so as soon as Tristan had said the last sentence she apologized to Rory and said she saw an old friend she wanted to great. Rory almost followed her, but for some reason she couldn't get herself to move away from Tristan.
Tristan: 'So, we really didn't get a chance to talk earlier. I understand you're going to Yale now? How's it going for you?'
Rory smiled nervously while he spoke to her.
Rory: 'It's all I ever hoped for. Classes are really challenging. They help to get the best in me out.'
Tristan: 'So, does Jess go to Yale as well?'
Rory: 'Jess? No.He's someone I know back from Stars Hollow.'
Tristan: 'Someone?'
Rory: 'So where are you going to college? Or did you decide to join the military and are you now stationed on some carrier somewhere in the Middle East?'
Tristan: 'Why are you trying to change the subject?'
Rory: 'I'm not trying to change the subject. I'm genuinely interested in what you're doing with your life right now. Last time I saw you, you were off to military school. So it's only natural that you would join the air force, the navy or the marines. And that's.'
Tristan: 'Rory, you're rambling.'
Rory: 'I'm sorry. But I do want to know.'
Tristan: 'Look, if you really want to know, I'm attending Stanford.'
Rory was impressed. She had never expected Tristan to take college serious enough to actually get into such a wonderful school.
Rory: 'Wow, that's really good. So is that where you met Gabriela?'
Tristan looked a little bit surprised at that question. He had even forgotten he had taken her with him and definitely hadn't expected Rory to ask such a straightforward question about her.
Tristan: 'Oh, no. I met her when I was in Europe last summer. We were both vacationing in Mallorca. But coincidentally she's also attending Stanford.'
Rory: 'Hmmm.'
Tristan: 'What hmmm?'
Rory: 'Nothing.'
Tristan: 'So are Jess and you together?'
Now Rory was the one that was startled. Talking to Tristan she had as well almost forgotten her date.
Rory: 'Ehm.Yes, we are.'
Tristan: 'That's great.'
Rory: 'Yeah, he's a wonderful guy.'
As Rory was saying that Jess and Gabriela came walking towards them. Jess didn't like the look on Rory's face one bit and his first reaction was to just leave. Rory was really happy he proposed this, because she was feeling quite awkward as well.
Rory: 'It was nice seeing you again Tristan.'
Tristan: 'Yeah, you too.We should keep in contact.'
Rory: 'Yeah.Bye Tristan, Gabriela.'
Jess nodded to the both of them as well, put his arm around Rory's waist and let her to some of her friends to say goodbye. After that they left for Stars Hollow. The road back was quite. Both Rory and Jess had their own thoughts. Rory was thinking about why seeing Tristan had affected her that much and Jess was thinking about why Rory was obviously so shaken by having seen this guy.
Not long after Rory and Jess had left, Tristan and Gabriela left as well. They went to Tristan's house, where they were both staying. Tristan's parents and Gabriela's parents were very good friends and they had been really happy when Tristan and Gabriela had become close friends during their vacation. Now Gabriela was staying at Tristan's place for the break they had from college.
Tristan's parents weren't home when they got there, so he just went up to his room to check his email. He was reading some article when Gabriela entered his room. She had gone to her room to change. She had put on a nightgown that left little to the imagination. She went to stand behind Tristan and started rubbing his shoulders. After giving him a couple of kisses in his neck and sucking on one of his ears for a bit she stood up straight, helped him take off his shirt and continued massaging him. In a really seductive voice she started to speak.
Gabriela: 'You know I can help you right.'
Tristan: 'Sex is not a cure all, you know.'
Gabriela: 'Haha.That's what you think.'
Tristan: 'Explain yourself.'
Gabriela: 'Let's make a bet.Give me 48 hours and I assure you I'll have him.'
Tristan: 'What? No.You've got to be kidding me.'
Gabriela: 'Oh, come on.You know you want me to.You know you want to have the girl.'
Tristan got up from his chair and turned around, pushing Gabriela into a wall. He lowered his face close to hers, stroking her cheeks with his nose and then with his lips. He started to stroke the strands of hair out of her face. He put his left hand on the wall to left of her face and with the other hand he stroked over her breasts. He lowered one of the straps of her nightgown, so he could see her right breast more clearly and started caressing it until her nipple was hard.
Tristan: 'Why would I want her if I can have you?'
Gabriela pulled away his hand from her breast and moved her face away.
Gabriela: 'I know you want me. But there's no challenge in that, because you can always have me.I know she's the one that got away. So let me help you.I take Jess and you get her.'
Tristan backed away and thought it over for a bit. After a couple of seconds he pulled Gabriela towards him, kissed her mouth violently and threw her on his bed. He sat on top of her before speaking.
Tristan: 'Ok, fine.It's a bet. What are we betting on anyway?'
Gabriela, who had started unbuckling his belt, chuckled a bit before making her decision.
Gabriela: 'If I win, you take me to Paris for a weekend.If I loose, I'll take you to Rome.'
After that Tristan got up and pulled down his pants. He also took off Gabriela's nightgown and started kissing her breasts, before thrusting his full length into her.
When Rory and Jess had gotten to Lorelai's home, Jess was more insecure than he ever had been about Rory. Although he knew it was ridiculous, he couldn't help but wanting proof that Rory's love for him was more than platonic. He had seen the look of passion in her eyes when they were on their way home and he couldn't help but thinking that look was meant for and caused by Tristan.
When he walked her into the house, they found a note by Lorelai stating that she wouldn't be home until the morning, because of an emergency at the Inn. Jess decided he couldn't let this opportunity pass bye.He wasn't feeling like himself. He wasn't the patient guy he normally was. If Rory wasn't going to be his tonight or at least give him some sort of sign she liked having him touch her in secret places, then..Well, honestly he didn't know what he was going to do then.
Rory excused herself to go change. She went into her old room, leaving Jess standing in the doorway. After a minute or so Jess made his decision and walked into Rory's room. She had just taken of her shoes and was about to undo the zipper of her dress.
Rory: 'Jess, what are you doing here?'
Jess just looked at her. Rory started to feel a little bit frighten, but didn't move. Jess walked up to her, grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace. After a moment he pushed her away and just looked at her for a while.
Rory: 'Jess, are you ok? Why are you staring at me like that? You're scaring me.'
Jess leaned into Rory and kissed her softly on her lips. Rory opened her mouth to deepen the kiss. Jess started stroking her hair and slowly moved down to her back. He started to undo the zipper.Just as he wanted to let the dress slip off of her shoulders Rory pushed him away, ran out of the door and into the bathroom, where she locked herself in.
Jess didn't know what was happening. He was beside himself. He knew what he had done was wrong, but right now he didn't care. He would apologize later. Right now he would just give in to his feelings and his worry about Rory not wanting him touching her. It's like she couldn't stand being touched by him.Like she didn't want his love to be physical. He couldn't stand it.He just couldn't deal with it anymore. He just left the house and went to the bridge to think.
Rory didn't know what had happened to her. She didn't understand why every time Jess tried to be more intimate with her she backed away. She knew she wanted him, she had wanted him for a while. But for some reason she was just afraid to actually take the step. When Jess just left and didn't come after her to try to get her to come out of the bathroom she panicked even more. What if she had blown it? What if he really didn't want to wait any longer? She wanted to go after him, but for some reason she didn't dare to. She was afraid to face him.As if by not hearing him voice his feelings would make the feelings not exist. So she just went to bed, where she cried herself to sleep.
