Chapter 18- Reveal
*~*~*~*
The jumped up and saw that the wind had pushed the door open. Tristan didn't shut the door all the way.
"Damn."
Tristan looked fluster. He was frustrated on how close he got and how much he wanted to have kissed her. Rory looked a little lost in her thoughts.
*OMG, we almost kissed. *
"I guess someone didn't close the door all the way."
Tristan looked at Rory and smiled.
"Sorry."
She couldn't take it anymore. As embarrassed as she was, she had to know.
"We almost kissed."
"Straight to the point I see."
"Tristan, you know what I mean. Where do we go from here."
Tristan looked down at his feet. He felt a bit bolder though.
"We take a step together."
Rory had a blank look upon her face. "Huh?"
"I mean, we figure out where we stand and go from there."
"Umm."
Rory felt completely uncomfortable and felt as though she needed to do something. She went to close the door and didn't dare look Tristan in the eye as she took a seat on the couch again. He sat next to her and faced her. She had to choice but to look at him.
"Why don't you tell me what you think?"
Tristan was astonished. He had finally gotten the question out.
"I don't know. I think I like you."
Tristan's heart soared.
"But I don't want to ruin what we already have as friends."
Tristan carefully thought and had a genuine smile on his face.
"Who knows, maybe we are destined right? Maybe we should try it. We might become better friends."
Rory looked Tristan dead in the eye.
"What do you think about me?"
"I really like you." *I love you. *
"But there is one thing that I want you to promise."
Tristan took intently at her. "Anything."
"Promise me that I am not your flavor of the week, promise me that I am not just another one of your fling girlfriends. Because if I am, then I don't want to be a part of it."
Tristan gave back Rory her look right back and smiled.
"You aren't and I swear to God you aren't."
Rory smiled.
"Are you atheist?"
"What?"
Rory laughed.
"Sorry, I was thinking of a Paris conversation."
"I'm hurt, I am right here and all you can think about is a Paris conversation?"
"Sorry Tris."
"So, what do you want to do then?"
"Watch a movie."
They watched one more movie before it was 11 and Tristan had to drive back home. As they got up, he turned to her.
"Thanks for the date."
"This was a date?"
"Uh huh. And I feel like claiming a goodnight kiss."
"What makes you think you are obligated to one?"
Tristan pouted a bit.
"Please?"
Rory laughed. She leaned towards him slowly as Tristan's face inched towards her as well. At the last second, she moved her head and kissed his cheek.
"That is all I get?"
"Yep."
"You are such a tease Mary."
"Am not."
"You really need to work on that denial thing."
Tristan walked to his car with Rory. He quickly turned and stole a kiss from her. As quick as it was, it made his week. Rory slightly blushed.
"Call me when you get home. I want to make sure you got home safe ok?"
"Alright Mary. Geez, don't freak out or anything."
Tristan turned the engine on and gave a final wave before leaving. Rory stood there for a few minutes, pondering about the kiss. For the first time in months, she was truly and contently happy. She had felt that spark, and it was a spark that she never even experienced with Dean or Jess. She was in love and didn't even know it.
A/N- I know I know, it moved a little fast and stuff but Rory changes right? You've seen Gilmore Girls recently, she isn't as subtle anymore. But yeah. I told you that there was a Trory moment coming. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon! R/R and it may come a little faster than the others. maybe next day!
