"Coffee break!" yelled Lorelai
"Get me some too!" said Rory as Lorelai jumped up, grabbed her coat and ran out the door to Lukes
Silence
"So what should we do?" asked Rory
Silence
"Charades, monopoly or twister?"
Silence
"And first in with the correct answer gets to choose!" proclaimed Rory borrowing Lorelai's announcer voice
"Ok, for the choice of game what is the process using light, allows plants to survive?"
"Photosynthesis" answered Tristan easily "And I choose Twister" he grinned wickedly
"And for the choice of which two people go first" Rory sent desperate looks to Paris and Jess which went unnoticed by Paris who was submerged in the piece for the Franklin
"What is the date today?"
"24th of February" answered Jess quickly
Rory looked at him apprehensively
"Well seeing as I hate stupid games and Paris is far too busy I think Rory and Tristan should go first" replied Jess meeting Rory's look with a grin
"Do you have any problems with that Paris of course this means you're gonna have to go second with Jess" asked Rory pointedly
"Whatever" answered Paris not looking up from the piece of paper in her hand. She obviously hadn't a clue what Rory had just said
"Fine, Fine" muttered Rory
"I'll do the honours" said Jess quickly grabbing the spinner before Rory could protest
"Rory left hand green"
And so the game continued until its two players were entwined together
Jess was enjoying his role strategically changing what the board said so Tristan and Rory would be forced closer together
Rory was regretting her decision to suggest a game more and more
"Enjoying yourself Mary?" asked Tristan from his position above her
"Just fine thanks" answered Rory cooly from below
"I knew you would"
"Careful Bible-boy if you want to be able to have kids then stop talking"
Undeterred Tristan continued
"You know I think I've dreamed about this"
"Careful"
The game continued until the positions had been switched with Rory leaning over Tristan
Tristan studied her and unable to resist he softly blew on her neck
Rory taken by surprise lost her balance and crumpled on top of him sending them both to the floor with a loud thump
Rory glared at him contemptuously before pushing herself up using his chest sending him sprawling
Jess and Paris laughed from the corner
"Right! You two next!" yelled Rory grabbing the spinner from Jess and glaring at Paris
"No! Um… I think the article needs more editing" said Paris frantically grabbing her paper and pen
'C'mon Paris" said jess grabbing her arm as he was pulling her up he whispered in her ear "I don't bite….unless you ask"
Paris blushed furiously
Lorelai came bursting through the door "You would not believe what it takes to get a good cup of coffee in this town!" she said pulling off her coat
"So what did I miss?" she asked expectantly "I don't see any beer cans around and I didn't pass the cops on my way home so what on earth did you end up doing?"
"We played Twister" answered a smirking Tristan
"Were you guys at least naked?"
"Nope" answered Jess "but Rory wouldn't have been able to blush any more even if we were"
Lorelai grinned "Well I'm ready to hibernate again so back to the movie!" she said trying to detract the attention from Rory who was again going red
Rory sat herself up on the couch shooting jess a 'you're so gonna die' look and to her dismay Tristan promptly settled himself at the other end
'This is going to be one long night' she thought to herself
