A Man and his Mary

Pairings: L/L the rest to be determined in the story

Disclaimer: My god, how many times do I have to repeat myself I don't own Gilmore Girls or CMM but if I did damn straight he would be back on the show!

Oh I'm bad I am neglecting my other fic just so I can bring you all yet another chapter – REWARD ME DAMNIT!

Rory softly let out a sigh

She watched the candles flickering

Tristan softly let out a sigh

He watched the clock ticking

Rory leant back against the bath and let the soft music wash over her

Tristan smiled and picked up his coat

Rory hummed along with the music

Tristan turned the key, the car hummed to life

Rory sighed in contentment

Tristan sighed in contentment as he unlocked the door

*********************************************************************

Shutting the door softly behind him he let the warmth and smells of the apartment envelop him

The fire flickered merrily warming the entire apartment

He could see a pot cooking on the stove; it let out a delicious aroma

"Rory" he called

No answer

Tristan checked her room and the rest of the apartment straining his ears he could hear music softly playing

Tristan smiled and opened the door to the bathroom

Rory lay modestly covered by bubbles in the smooth porcelain bath. The CD player in the corner was playing her favourite slow songs; white candles placed around the bathroom gave the only light and a smell of Daffeny. Rory had her eyes closed a small smile played on her rosy lips her hair was piled onto her head but small tendrils had escaped the water lapped at her smooth neck which looked irresistible in the candle-light

Tristan stood silently watching her and for a moment day-dreamed about how life could be

He softly exited, shutting the door behind him

*********************************************************************

"Hey" greeted Rory clad in a white fluffy robe

Tristan stood in the kitchen the sleeves of his blue shirt rolled up and a tea-towel thrown over his shoulder

"You tried to cook?" he enquired

"It looked easy" said Rory defending herself

"Smelt nice, too bad about the taste" said Tristan with a grin

"You fixed it right?" said Rory biting her lip

"Well not that I don't enjoy poisonous soup but it needed a little salt"

Rory smiled as they sat together eating and talking and laughing and for one moment, a split second in time, she realized this was one of those perfect moments that you only ever have once

*********************************************************************

You never saw one without the other

Together they were a team

They lived together

They laughed

She cried, he was a shoulder

There were rumours, they weren't true

Though she thought he was Handsome

He thought she was Gorgeous

He was her best friend

She was his

She found Love at first sight

He found Hate at first sight

She was falling in love

He tried to show his feelings but love wasn't on his side

She had Ryan

He had Liz

Now he was engaged

Lorelai tried but didn't succeed

He caught her in his arms, there was a spark

They both knew what it could be like

They lived

They loved

Together forever

A man and his Mary
