Disclaimer: Yep.
Author's Note: I've got time to burn and bored out of my skull, so I figured I'd write another chapter. Umm, yes, I wrote both poems. (Yes, I did those cheesy things.) And the songs: "Somebody Like You" is by Keith Urban, and "(I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You" is by UB40.
'She's kissing me!' Tristan had a million thoughts flying through his head at the speed of light.
'I'm kissing him!' Rory thought wildly.
The pair met on accident, and pulled away on accident. Both thought the other didn't want the kiss to happen. Even though they were wrong. Rory and Tristan couldn't deny the sparks that had been flying all day. It was as if Tristan wasn't that rich kid from Chilton. And it was as if Rory wasn't that sweet innocent girl from Chilton, either.
"So, we better head home. Your mom wanted you to have dinner with her, remember?"
"Right."
As they headed home, Tristan and Rory held up a conversation. But honestly, a one sided conversation with a spoon could have been more entertaining. "So, I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Sure thing, Tris." Rory smiled, and got out the car.
Later that night, while Lorelai and Rory were at some Italian place just outside of Stars Hollow, Tristan pulled his truck into the Gilmore driveway. "It's now or never." Tristan opened the door to the two-story house and made his way into Rory's room.
He grabbed a piece of her stationary and started to write. He grinned at his final product and set a CD on Rory's desk, where she would see it. Grinning at a job well done, he calmly walked out of the house.
"Okay, get the movie and I'll get changed." Rory yelled to her mom as soon as she walked into her room. She stopped short as soon as she saw her desk. On top of the CD case was a post it saying 'Number 18,' and next to it was a piece of paper. It was a piece of her stationary that her mom was been adamant about getting her. It was bright pink and had smiley faces as a background.
In bold black ink, there was a boyish handwriting. 'What is written?' Rory thought, turning on a unique lamp. After shedding some light on the situation, she read:
Rory Gilmore, you need to know That you stole my heart I feel what you feel When you're eating a pop tart
This is cheesy, I know But you need to hear this, I though you should know
No double meaning, Just straightforward feeling
Play track number 18, and that's all I ask. Have a nice night, and sweet dreams, Tristan.
Rory laid down, turning on the music. She just lay there and let the music fill her ears. She was expecting a slow tune, but she got a country song. 'A Country song?! Tristan likes rock and rap.' She quickly shut up the voices in her head to listen to the song.
There is a new wind blowin' like I've never known
I'm breathing deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
And I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing the only thing I want to do
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
(chorus)
I want to feel the sunshine
Shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there is nothing in this world i can't do
I used to run in circles going nowhere fast
I'd take one step forward end up two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line even if i wanted to
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
Whoa here we go now
Hey I want to love ya baby ohhh yeah
I want to feel the sunshine
Shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teaching me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
Hey I want to love ya baby," 'Tristan had definitely picked this song for Rory.' Lorelai thought as she heard the song being put on again. 'Followed my advice, good boy. I think I'm gonna like this one.'
Rory came out of her room with a silly grin on her face an hour later. She had listened to the song over and over again. "So child, what does it feel like to be in love?" Lorelai assumed, asking a question.
She assumed right, judging by Rory's smile. If she smiled any harder her face would crack. "Unexplainable." Rory grabbed the keys to her mom's car. "I'm gonna go for a drive. I'll be back later."
She drove the short drive to the Inn. She knew Tristan was out, because she had called and he had mentioned hanging out with a few cousins to get out of his room at the Inn. After sneaking a spare copy of his key without the night manager noticing, Rory went up to Tristan's room.
"Hmm, is there a CD player here?" After not seeing one, Rory just laid the CD on the bed that Tristan was apparently using. The sheets were all wrinkled, just like Tristan would leave them. She grabbed a piece of Inn paper and started to write:
I'm not creative. That's what you get For having to live With the people I do. But here's a song For you to listen to.
Play track 2. See you soon. Rory.
She quietly snuck out of the Inn and drove back to her house. After waiting up forever on the off chance Tristan would call or come over after having listening to the song, Rory fell asleep about three am. She fell asleep listening to "Somebody Like You" with her headphones on.
It about three am when Tristan stumbled into his room. He wasn't drunk, just dead tired on his feet about playing basketball at his cousins mansion for four hours. "What is this?"
Tristan noticed the CD case and put it into his Discman. Some music came on and Tristan grinned, reading Rory's poem.
"Wise men say - Only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you.
Wise men say - Only fools rush in, But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay - Would it be a sin, If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be
Take my hand - Take my whole life too, For I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling so it goes Some things are meant to be
Take my hand - Take my whole life too, For I can't help falling in love with you.
I can't help falling in love with you I can't help falling in love with you I can't help falling in love with you I can't help falling in love with you,"
He recognized the song as the one that was playing on the radio when Rory was driving his car to Stars Hollow. When he fell asleep listening to the song, there was a wide grin on his face.
