Chapter 12: I Have A Boyfriend!

CHILTON

Rory and Tristan were walking out of the school. Tristan arms were wrapped around Rory's shoulder and Rory was holding her books in front of her chest.

"Tell me again, why I shouldn't take you home," Tristan asked.

"Because I don't want you to drive me all the way to Stars Hollow and drive back to Hartford. My house, to your house is pretty far away you know"

"But you're my girlfriend. Just in case you don't know, boyfriends give their girlfriends a ride home," Rory didn't answer. She just gave him a sweet smile and slid her right arm around Tristan's waist and rested her head on his shoulder.

THE BUS STOP

"What time your bus will get here?" Tristan asked. He and Rory were sitting on the bench waiting for the bus to come.

"Umm… in 5 minutes" Rory answered looking down at her watch. Then she opened her bag pack and pulled out a book.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm reading"

"Why?"

"Because this is what I always do when I'm waiting for my bus"

"But that was before you have me as your boyfriend. Now that I am your boyfriend and sitting next to you, you don't have to read anymore. Well… at least when I'm around"

"But I'm used to it. Plus, I really really have to know what happen to story next. Please…"Rory begged. Tristan sighed.

"Okay-but just for today"

"Okay" Rory said and started reading. Tristan slid his arms around Rory's waist and pulled her closer. Rory rested her back on Tristan's chest and he rested his chin on Rory's left shoulder. Then he sighed. "Poor me… My girlfriend just picked a book over me" he pouted. Rory laughed softly.

"Don't talk. It tickles"

Tristan ignored her. He moved his chin over and over again. Rory started to laugh hard. "Okay fine. I'll stop reading" Rory said closing her book and put it in her bag then turned around to face Tristan who was having a big smile on his face.

"You're mean" Rory stated.

"I am?"

"Yeah, and selfish too"

"I'm being selfish only if it involves you" Tristan started lean in and so did Rory. Then…

"Oh that's my bus" Rory said. Tristan let a loud groan.

"I hate bus" he muttered. They both got up and Rory gave Tristan a quick kiss and pulled away before he could respond to the kiss. She turned around to get her bag pack.

"Oh no no… You're not gonna get away from me that easy" Tristan said, circling his arms around Rory's waist and turned her around so that she was facing him. Their faces were only inches away. He captured her lips with his and kissed her hard. They kissed and tasted until the bus stopped next to them. "Now that's the right way to say goodbye to your boyfriend" Tristan said after they pulled away, with his arms still circling around Rory's waist, pulling her closer.

"My bus is here"

"I noticed" Tristan said, looking up at the bus.

"I should go"

"Okay. Bye sweetheart. I'll call you" Tristan said and gave her a quick kiss on her lips before letting her go.

"Okay. Bye"Rory got on the bus and they waved each other goodbye.

When Rory got off the bus, she walked home as quickly as she can. When she got home, she changed her school uniform and went straight to the Inn to see her mom.

THE INN

Rory walked in the Inn and her eyes wandering around looking for Lorelai. But she's nowhere to be found. She walked to the counter where Michelle was standing there with his hand under his chin.

"Hey Michelle" Rory accosted.

"Hmm" Michelle answered simply.

"Where's mom?" Rory asked and Michelle didn't answer. He just pointed to the direction of the kitchen. "Okay, thanks. Bye Michelle"

"Hmm"

IN THE KICTHEN

"You should see him Lorelai. He's…big" Sookie said. "His tail is so big and fury just as big as his head. And his head… you cant see his chin. My cat doesn't have a chin!"

"Honey, of course your cat has a chin. It's just that…his chin…is…hiding. Yeah. I'm sure if you look closely, or if you try to touch it and look for it, there must be a chin behind his fat and fury head"

"Whose head?" Rory asked, interrupting both of them.

"Milo's head"

"Milo?"

"My cat. My fat fat cat" Sookie said.

"Oh… you got the cat already…"

"Yeah"

"Hey, that's great"

"I'm sure it is"

"Aww…I'm sure he's a very cute cat. I can't wait to meet him"

"Sookie!" a man called.

"Jake, I'll be right there. I gotta go"

"Bye Sookie" Rory said.

"Bye"

"So… what brings you here?" Lorelai asked as she and Rory walked out of the kitchen.

"Oh nothing. Just the normal thing"

"The normal thing?"

"Yeah"

"Like?"

"Like the boyfriend thing"

"Argh! He asked?"

"Uh huh"

"What did you say? What did you say? Did you say 'sure' because last night you said you don't wanna say 'yes' cuz you wanted to say 'sure'. Did you say 'sure'? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?" Lorelai said while she shook Rory's shoulder.

"Mom! Relax!"

"No! I can't relax. We're talking about your first boyfriend here so I can't relax. I don't even know what relax mean. Relax? What's that? Some kind of food? A car? Or a fat cat?"

"Mom!"

"Okay okay" Lorelai took a deep breath. "I am relaxing. Okay Rory. Now, tell me what did he said and what did you said"

"Okay. At first I was kinda mad at him because every time we tried to talk, there's always an interruptions"

"Interruptions?"

"Yeah. Every time I was talking to him, every girl that passed us or should I say passed him, they were like ' Hi Tristan, Hey Tristan, Bye Tristan, See you later Tristan'. And one of them actually kissed him! But on the cheek"

"You were jealous"

"Of course I was jealous. I'm a human being"

"You're a human being? But I remembered when you were 1, I think I saw two antennas on your head"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"What colour?"

"Blue"

"Aren't they supposed to be green?"

"Nah… that's for the male. Female's are blue"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Okay, enough said. Go on with the story please"

"Okay, and then he said there was a way to stop all those stupid interruptions"

"What? Like a signboard or something?"

"That's exactly what I said! And then… he kissed me"

"Oooo…. and the interruptions stop cuz they finally understand that he is taken?"

"Yeah. He's taken. By me. He's mine mom. Mine. I have a boyfriend. Hmmm… I like how it sounds. I have a boyfriend"

"Yeah. And I don't. Can we share?"

"Umm… nope. I'm a pretty greedy woman when it comes to boyfriend"

"Okay okay. So what exactly did he said, when he asked you to be his girlfriend?"

"Well… after we kissed, he asked me, Rory, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Uh huh, uh huh. And what did you say?"

"I said 'depends'"

"You said depends?"

"Yeah and he asked me, 'depends on what?'. And I said 'depends on you. Do you wanna be my boyfriend Tristan?"

"You said that?"

"Yeah"

"You go girl! Bet he didn't expect it didn't he?"

"Nope. You should see his face"

"Okay, then what did he says?"

"Okay, you're not gonna believe what he said"

"Try me"

"He said…  'be with you as your girlfriend was my dream since I first laid my eyes on you'"

"Awww…" Both Rory and Lorelai said at the same time.

"Then he asked if I would be kind enough and make his dream come true. Thanks to you, who taught me to be nice and kind to people, I said ' it would be my honour. So, starting from today, Tristan and I are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. I'm off the market. I'm not available anymore mom" Rory said, elated.

"Awww… sweetie… I'm really happy for you" Lorelai said and gave her daughter a big hug.

"Thank you"

"Lorelai, phone" Michelle said, interrupting the happy mother and daughter.

"Okay sweetie, I gotta go now. We'll talk later when I get home okay?"

"Okay mom. Bye"

"Bye. Oh and Michelle, don't talk to her, she's not available anymore" Lorelai said and she left. Rory just laughed and blushed.

"Lane!" Rory said and left the Inn to talk to her best friend about her boyfriend.
