Ch 2 cont.
As she gets up to leave Tristan says "I'm sure nobodies home, and I'm sure your grandparents wouldn't mind if you stayed for dinner, would they?
"Uh, I'm not sure, I guess if I called and asked it would be okay." Rory says realizing Tristan wasn't like Dean
"Rory, What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking... never mind."
Rory called her Grandparents and everything was fine~ They would be going to a dinner party anyway.
After they ate dinner and watched a movie Tristan made a confession.
"Rory, I came to see you last Monday when I got back, but I ran into Dean, he got really mad and I just left, Im sorry I didn't tell you earlier."
As Tristan looked into Rory's eyes he saw she was terrified.
"Rory, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine"
**Rory remembered something Dean said to her before it happened. She saw the anger in his eyes as he said "I hope you live happily ever after with Tristan" She could hear the sarcastic tone in his voice. She tried to argue that he was gone and then it happened.**
" Are you sure nothings wrong? You look really pale." Tristan asked a pale looking Rory
"Yeah, I'm just kinda tired." Rory replied with forced happiness
Tristan knew something was really wrong. "You can stay here so you don't have to drive back to your grandparents house."
"No thanks, I'm fine I can drive I'm... really... ok" Rory said yawning
"You are not driving. You can stay in one of the guest rooms"
Tristan looked down at Rory to find her already asleep on the couch, she looked so peaceful. Carefully Tristan picked her up and carried her to the guest room and put her in bed. As he placed a kiss on her forehead Rory quietly said "Tristan, Thank You for everything."
When Rory woke the next morning she remembered where she was and panicked. She had court at one and it was already eleven. As she walked down the stairs she smelled coffee and something cooking. She walked onto the kitchen to find Tristan making pancakes and sausage. He had his back to her, but turned around when she said "I would have never thought you to be a cook."
"Yeah, our cook Sandy makes some mean french souffle , but she sucks at simple breakfast food. So I learned to make them for myself."
"The things people don't know about you. You act like a bad-ass, but your really all warm and fuzzy inside." Rory says jokingly
She didn't hear Tristan mutter under his breath "If you only knew."
"Tristan I have go somewhere for a little while, but I can come back later this afternoon."
"Can you stay for breakfast?" Tristan asked hopefully
"Yeah, as long as you supply me with java" Rory said excitingly looking at the coffee machine
"Great, here you go" Tristan said placing a cup of coffee and a plate of food in front of Rory "So where are you going today?"
"Nowhere, I'm just helping a friend out with something"
"Ok"
Thirty minutes later
"Well, I'll see you later this afternoon" Rory said putting her dishes in the sink and heading for the door.
"Okay, I'll see you later then"
"Sure" Rory said closing the door behind her
