Jess: " Yo, Tristan, what´s wrong? ". He was looking at me with some concern shining in his countenance, but I wasn´t looking at him. I was far too busy perusing Russel. My watchful eye refused to look at anything else but him. He was not a guy I could trust, not now or ever, especially around Rory.
Tristan: " It´s him,… ". Pointing a little with my head towards where they were and stressing the word " him ", showing my unlikeness freely. " …that guy with Rory, I don´t like him at all, Jess ".
Jess: " Why´s that? ".
Tristan: " I don´t know,… ". I swivel my head around and look at Jess while he takes a gulp of his apple soda. " …maybe because he´s my step-brother? ". He spit it out, all of it, to his right side, wetting completely the back of a stranger´s head. The unfamiliar, glass-wearing guy turned around fiercely.
Guy: " What the Hell is wrong with you, man!? ". He cried frantically, his eyes glimmering excessively in outrage.
Jess: " Oh my God, I´m SO sorry, really, I didn´t meant to, it was an accident, honestly, I´m so… ".
Guy: " Screw you ". That was it, that curse was all it took for Mariano´s apologizing attitude to fade away and turn into the complete opposite.
Jess: " You know what?, go fuck yourself, fag! ".
Guy: " Oh yeah!? ".
Jess: " Yeah, and while you´re at it, come visit my palace and kiss my white, hard ass, you stupid piece of shit! ". I chuckled. That´s the Jess I know.
The guy glared for a moment, then turned furiously and resumed to do what he was doing before.
Mariano turned his attention to me again.
Jess: " What a moron ". He muttered sullenly, picking up his book again.
Guy: " Heard you! ". The other one exclaimed warningly. I kept chuckling, repressing a laugh inside, this was WAY too hilarious.
Jess closed his eyes, trying to regain his patience, although failing. He took a deep breath, then let it out.
Jess: " I said it once and I´ll say it once again, pricky… ". He turns to look at the guy. ". …GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! ". He jumped and ran, I can´t believe the nerd ran at Mariano´s yell!, dropping all his books and stuff, not even bothering to pick them up!.
Oh my God!. Jess can sure as Hell be amusing as well as entertaining.
People looked over at us, including Rory and Russel, but they soon went back to studying. Jess shot them all deathly stares and they turned away, scared. HAHA!.
Tristan: " You know, you should really consider enrolling into an anger-management rehab, Jess, seriously, your heart is crying out for peaceful therapy ". I was only teasing him, in a fabulous mood to tick the heck out of him.
Jess: " Shut up ".
Tristan: " Just think about it, what will the future of your wife be with you by her side? ".
Jess: " DuGray… ".
Tristan: " And your kids, oh my God, it terrorizes the shit out of me just to think about what their welfare might be!... ".
Jess: " I´m warning you… ". His threatening tone increasing with intolerance. He was getting pissed, and boy was I enjoying it.
Tristan: " The dog, Jesus Christ, I don´t even want to go there, ¿what if he has cute little brown puppies and in one of those fury attacks of your´s you canalize a monstruous rage on one of their precious necks?, he´ll sue you, man!, the dog, of course!, you´ll go to jail, you´ll get a tattoo with the name Tiffany on your arm, you´ll even have your own bitches playing poker with you on your cell… ".
Jess: " Shut up, Tristan! ". I now laughed heartily, ignoring the hushes I was getting. If I would have looked up at him, I might have been met with an irritating scowl on his face directed hatefully towards me.
Tristan: " Ah, you know I´m kidding,… ". I patted the side of his shoulder twice. " … the Chilton population, not too mention the dear Stars Hollow one, are both aware that I wouldn´t dare mess with your future dysfunctional family, bro ". He punched my arm. " OUCH, MAN! ". I rubbed it with my hand, attempting to wash away the sore I felt.
Jess: " That´s for being a top-rated jackass ". I couldn´t help chuckling once more while he took another gulp of his soda, this time, not spitting it out. Thank God. " So, you´re saying blondie over there is your half-brother? ". Mariano went nonchalantly back to the previous conversation as if nothing had happened.
Tristan: " Yep ".
Jess: " And you don´t like him? ".
Tristan: " Nope ".
Jess: " Guess being an asshole runs in the family then ". He was grinning and I narrowed my eyes at him.
Tristan: " Very funny ". I retorted sarcastically, shifting on my chair.
Jess: " Thought so ". It was his turn to chuckle at my expense.
Tristan: " Sooo,… ". I said, glaring at him menacingly, to which he only smiled innocently and held his hands up in surrender. " …as I was saying,… ". I breathed in and let out a tiresome sigh. " …Russel Brosnan DuGray, is indeed, my half-brother; my Dad, William, had an ex-girlfriend who got pregnant and left him the baby in his arms before walking away from his life; my Dad then met my Mom, Charlize, which he dated while taking care of Russel; my Mom knew about the baby´s existence, she took care of him every time she could and both my parents were so in love that they ended up getting married. My Mom didn´t mind raising a child that wasn´t hers though, she was of good heart by nature, so together they did everything they could to make the baby happy, which it was, for awhile, that was, until I, was born… ".
Jess: " Of course, the black sheep ". He filled out lightly.
Tristan: " Go fuck yourself, Mariano ". Shooting him a rough dagger, repeating the same curse in the same tone he used a couple of minutes ago, making him laugh quietly.
We were, after all, in the library...
Past memories brought a melancholic sensation over me, so his playfulness went by unnoticed by my persona.
Jess: " Been there, done that, not very pleasant ". Shaking his head a bit, showing his fake displeasure.
I might have laughed, if it weren´t for the serious topic we were going through.
Tristan: " So, anyways, long story short, Russel hates my guts because he thinks I robbed my Mom´s affection from him, he´s a jealous, envious bastard who wants everything I have just because I have it in the first place… ".
Jess: " Plus, you get all the girls, making you a horny, modern Casanova ".
Tristan: " And you a self-conscious masturbation-addict ".
Jess: " OUCH! ".
Tristan: " Touché! ".
Jess: " You´re life is a fucking soup opera and you're a fucking drama queen ".
Tristan: " You work in a diner ". I stated, looking at him pathetically.
Jess: " Touché! ". HAHA!.
Rory: " Jess, Russel and I are leaving ". I didn´t even notice her until her angelic voice spoke up. Jess and I had been laughing like idiots and it had caused to block everything else out of our ear shot.
My head had snapped up at her.
Tristan: " What do you mean you and Russel are leaving? ". I was butting in, but I didn´t care. My narrowed eyes fixed on her, overprotectiveness kicking in, apparently, it only showed up whenever Rory was being concerned.
I can´t let Russel leave with Rory. He might try something awful with her. He knows what I feel for her. Russel Brosnan will do anything to steal away from me what I most care about in order to cause me pain.
I won´t let him though…
Rory: " Tristan, I´m speaking with Jess, ok?, I´m not directing myself towards you, understand? ".
Jess: " Look, you can´t leave with him ". He cut in, getting Rory´s attention away from me.
Rory: " What?, why not?, you don´t even know him ".
Jess: " Exactly, because I don´t know him, I can´t let you leave with him, Rory; Lorelai will kill me if I do so, ¿why don´t you leave with Tristan then? ".
Rory: " ¿Why leave with Evil One, Tristan, when I can leave with Good One, Russel? ".
Tristan: " Don´t bite your tongue while saying that ". I muttered dryly, looking down.
Rory: " Excuse me? ".
Tristan: " You have nothing to worry about, I spoke nothing, my Love ". Grinning at her charmingly .
Rory: " Ughhh ". She rolled her eyes at me.
God, this girl radiates life…
I love her.
Jess: " I have to go ". He saw Paris walking in. As an instinct, he jumped up and went after her.
Rory: " Great, just lost my ride home! ". Sarcastic Rory stated to no one in particular, preparing herself to leave.
Tristan: " Rory! ". I got up quickly, taking possession of her smooth hand with my rougher one, she turns around. " Let me take you home ". I had never spoken so gently to someone in my entire life.
She could do that to me. Change me and all.
Rory: " I don´t know ". She said silently with hesitation. My eyes were glued on her cerulean ones. They seemed to shine at every moment, glow, her Chilton uniform bringing up majestically her gorgeous blue eyes. I was intrigued, not only by her gaze, but by her.
Tristan: " Please Mary ". Still pursuing lowly, taking a greater hold of her hand. She was looking at me so oddly, as if she was feeling something by my touch.
I wonder if she was experiencing the same tingling sensations as I was. As cheesy as it sounds, I wonder if we were both sharing the same fluttering of the heart…
Rory: " Tristan… ".
Tristan: " I won´t bite,.. ". Short pause. " …well, that is, unless you tell me to, of course, but still… ". Smirking, pulling her a bit forward to me. She blushes. She´s much too adorable, my attraction for her going up to an utmost degree. " …please, Mary,… ". I´m intertwining my fingers with hers, feeling her hand completely with mine ". …will you come with me? ". I was practically pleading her in an intimate whisper. Her inquiring, yet hesitant, eyes were getting lost on my own, I felt she was looking right through me, going inside me and taking a look within to make sure I had good, sincere intentions.
Rory: " Well… ".
Russel: " Come on, Ror, let´s go ". He spoke from behind her.
Over my dead body she´ll go with you…
Tristan: " Rory, please, don´t go with him ". I breathed privately, leaning a bit forward so she was the only one to hear me.
Rory: " You can´t tell me what to do, DuGray ".
Tristan: " I´m not telling you what to do, I´m only warning you, Rory, he can seriously do something to you and I don´t want that, I care too much to let you go with him ".
Oh my God. A confession. Out loud. To her…
Rory: " What did you say? ". She almost whispered inaudibly, staring quizzically at me. Rory looked really amazed and baffled. She truly wasn´t expecting that from me. Yet, I didn´t felt like taking it back…
Russel: " Come on, Rory ". He kept pursuing from behind, now growing annoyingly impatient.
Tristan: " Hold on ". I told her and released unwillingly her hand to walk over to Russel.
Russel: " Whoa! ". I grabbed him by the arm, well, I took a fist of his jacket actually and pulled him to a side, far away from Rory´s hearing. " What do you think you´re doing!? ".
Tristan: " She´s not going anywhere with you, man ".
Russel: " Who are you to tell me that!? ".
Tristan: " The black sheep ". Haha!
Of course this idiot wouldn´t understand the joke behind these words.
Russel: " Excuse me!? ".
Tristan: " You´re not leaving with her, end of story ".
Russel: " I´m sorry, ¿¡are you ordering me!? ".
Tristan: " Yes and you´re going to obey ".
Russel: " You´ve lost your mind, DuGray, you can´t make me ".
Tristan: " Oh, yes I can ".
Russel: " No, you can´t! ".
Tristan: " Back off, Brosnan, I mean it, leave her alone ".
Russel: " No! ".
Tristan: " ¿Who would have thought the day that I will blackmail my own brother will come so soon at such an early age? ". I was talking sarcastically to the air, looking up at the ceiling with eyes full with false wonder.
It sounded more as a threat then as a statement…
Russel: " You wouldn´t dare… ".
Tristan: " Stay the Hell away from Rory and I promise you our parents will never have to be informed of the promiscuous orgy you joined when on a Caribbean vacation ".
Russel: " Fuck you, Tristan ". He was snarling. I wasn´t intimidated though, he was way shorter than me.
What a loser...
Tristan: " Been there, done that, not very pleasant ". Mariano, I swear to God, I have to stop hanging out with you, you´re rubbing WAY too much of your famous quotes on me.
I seriously can´t believe it…
Diner Boy having an influence over me…
The world is coming to an end…
I walk away with a smirk on my lips, leaving Russel there gaping at the floor in a fearful, apprehensive way…
Maybe things will work out with me and Rory. You never know the way fate can work and what it will bring to your life…
I go through the world with a saying though, which I plan to share along with you now that I´m on the road…
Listen carefully, ¿will you?...
" He who persists, obtains "…
