3 MONTHS LATER.

I could have waited until tomorrow morning to do it, but I couldn´t, I was too anxious to get this over with already…

It´s one minute before midnight and I´m standing right outside her home, well, infront of her bedroom window to be more precise…

I´m waiting until the final seconds pass by in my wrist watch…

56…

57…

58…

59…

12:00 pm…

Finally…

Tristan: " Hit it ". The mariachi, consisting of 30 guys, began playing their guitars, trumpets and violins all together, loudly…

Next thing that happened, a pajama-clothed Babette and a tall guy, and all the other nosey neighbors living near the Gilmore household, walked out of their homes and stood on their porches to contemplate what was about to happen…

The one person I was only hoping in getting attention from, drew her curtains aside and looked out curiously from her bedroom window…

Her blue gaze came in contact with mine and stayed there…

I gave her a dazzling grin, withdrew a mix of four dozen yellow, red, white and pink flowers all arranged together and began singing while making my way towards her window…

Tristan: " HAAAPPY BIIIIRTHDAAAY TOOO YOUUU... ". She gasped and brought a hand up to cover her wide-opened mouth…

Rory: " Oh my God!... ". She giggled, amazement glowing in her eyes…

Tristan: " HAAAPPY BIIIRTHDAAAY TOOO YOUUU,… ". She takes the flowers that I give her. A silly, but very cute smile on her red, puffy lips. She looks so happy. " ...HAAAAPPY BIIIRTHDAAAY, MY SEXY JUUULIEEET,… ". She gives me a warning, playful glare before laughing afterwards. I chuckle to myself, grinning at her. " …HAAAPPY BIIIRTHDAAAY TOOO YOUUUU "

Applauses and cheers could be heard from the joyful neighbors in the background. Rory touched my cheek with her hand and brought her lips on mine, kissing me with fervor…

Lorelai: " Hey, what´s going on!? ". Lorelai had walked out of the Gilmore household. Standing on the porch, she looked to the side and spotted Rory and I getting all hot and heavy right outside her bedroom window. The weird thing was that Rory´s mom was actually smiling at the scene displayed before her. " Awww, that´s so cute! ". She exclaimed and laughed a bit…

Babette: " And romantic too! ". The blonde lady added with a very hoarse voice, having heard Lorelai´s exclaim and all...

The chubby neighbor then poked the side of her husband´s stomach with her elbow…

Maury: " Ow! "…

Babette: " Why can´t you bring me a mariachi and sing me at midnight on my birthday too like blondie over there!? "…

Maury: " I have a job, Babette, I can´t stay up that late! "…

Babette: " You´re always watching Saturday Night Live until four am! "…

Maury: " It´s educational! "…

Babette: " No, it´s not! "…

Maury: " Yes, it is! "…

Babette: " You´re an idiot ".

MEANWHILE.

Rory: " Come inside ". She told me when we pulled away from each other…

I waited for her to lift the window frame up before I climbed inside her bedroom…

I took both of her hands and led her to sit on the bed, before taking out a huge, neatly wrapped purple box with a white bow from underneath her bed…

She gasped, looking at me with unbelief…

Tristan: " What? ". I asked, smiling at little, doing my best to look as much innocent as possible…

Rory: " I can´t believe you hid my birthday present under my bed! "…

Tristan: " Well… "…

Rory: " What if I had decided to clean today and go through the stuff underneath it, discovering the present at the wrong time!? ".

Tristan: " You wouldn´t do that ". Looking at her with amusement…

Rory: " Yeah, I wouldn´t ". She laughed and I followed suit as well…

I waited until we both calmed down a bit before handing her the gift, placing it on her lap…

Tristan: " Happy birthday, Mary ". Very quietly I said it, looking at her with a light of tenderness and adoration in my eyes…

Flashing me a giddy grin, she began unwrapping the box…

Rory: " You bought me the complete stories of both Edgar Allan Poe and William Shakespeare! ". She couldn´t believe it. For a moment I confused her for a little girl trapped in a candy store. That´s how excited she was. " They´re all first editions, Tristan! ".

Tristan: " That´s not all… ". I took a black box from the inside pocket of my jacket and opened it before her…

Revealing a pure golden necklace with the word TRISTAN hanging on it...

She gasped, and when she looked closer, she seemed mildly confused….

Rory: " Why… ". I quickly showed her a golden necklace I was wearing myself, with the name RORY hanging on it. She laughed, now understanding the purpose of the gift. " How did you… ". I was now smirking…

Tristan: " I have my ways, Princess ". I was in my playful mode, blowing air on my knuckles before rubbing them on my shirt to give them shine. My face expressing pride and teasing arrogance…

She rolled her eyes while shaking her head a little at this, good-naturedly, then lifted her hair up…

I placed the necklace around her neck, and once I was done, left a kiss on the nape of it, right in the middle, just below where the light-brownish hair began to grow…

Sending shivers down her spine…

I knew this, because she trembled ever so slightly at the contact of my lips on her white, porcelain skin…

She´s so adorable…

And hot…

Rory: " Thank you so much… ". Her voice was tiny, almost humble and meek...

Smiling, I reached over and placed my hand on top of hers, my thumb stroking it…

Tristan: " It´s nothing in comparison to what you deserve, Angel "…

Rory: " You treat me so right… ".

Tristan: " That´s because I love you ". She gave me another kiss, this one long and heartfelt, more aggressive than the last one and full with much more passion and love…

Rory: " I love you so much… ". Directly on my mouth she told me, never ceasing to deliver warm kisses…

I fell asleep on her bed, right beside her, her small frame fitting perfectly in my arms…

She had wanted me to stay, but nothing happened...

It doesn´t matter though…

What matters is that I´m with her…

And all good things come to those who wait…

I had slept over at the Gilmore household in various occasions, movie nights could sometimes end so late…

Seeing as though it was turning into a somewhat routine, I´d bring my Chilton uniform over with me in a bag, knowing that I won´t be able to leave that house very early whenever a movie fest was going to be held that night...

MONDAY MORNING. 6:30PM.

Never in my life have I been able to wake up myself by my own will…

Today was no exception though...

I turned over to the left side in the bed and reached my arm out, hoping it will hook onto something very soft and pleasant…

I groaned, feeling so disappointed, empty, alone…

No such luck…

I turned back again to my previous position, laying on my back, hand on my plain stomach…

I didn´t notice a sudden weight laying down next to me…

I´m such a heavy sleeper, I don´t notice things so early in the morning…

Voice: " Tristan... ". A little voice whispered on my ear. As a reflex, my face twisted a bit. I´m being spoken to very intimately... " Tristan... ". Trying again…

I don´t know who the person is…

Tristan: " Hmmm… ". That´s the only sound I made…

I feel the tip of a finger playing with my earlobe now, running it over my flesh several times, very gently, wanting to get my undivided attention…

The sweetest and warmest voice I´ve ever heard in my entire life comes to speak closer into my ear for a third time…

Voice: " Tristan… ". I couldn´t take it anymore. I reached over for the speaking teddy bear and secured my long arm around it, pulling it extremely close to me, pressing it against my firm body…

Damm!…

It had curves!…

And they´re too smooth…

Too feminine to belong to a stuffy, fake animal…

Whoever manufactured this excellent bear must have a Hell of a toy factory!...

I´m writing a letter to them, seriously, with grateful lines and all…

This toy brought a huge, pleased smile on my face…

Voice: " Sleepy head, wake up "…

I open my eyes very slowly and look surprised at what I saw…

Tristan: " Wow… ". Rory sees that I´m studying her facial features intently and blushes…

Rory: " What?... ". She appeared to be very confused…

Tristan: " You´re the hottest teddy bear I´ve ever hugged in my whole existence! ". I said it with a grin...

Rory laughs…

Rory: " You thought I was a bear, Bible Boy!? ". She´s laughing hysterically now. I chuckle and gather her body a lot more near to mine…

Tristan: " Yes, and trust me, that´s a good thing… ". Smirking at her, intending to seduce her…

Rory: " Boy, have you gone low ". She said with playful reproach…

I laughed heartily…

Tristan: " I have gone high too, you know?, but that only happens when you´re in the same room as I am ". Chuckling, she shook her head before saying…

Rory: " Sooo, DuGray… ". Runs her hand through my blonde hair, letting her fingers go through it with much freedom. " …I´m guessing I´ll be staying with you for quite awhile then… ".

Tristan: " Forever,… ". Pause. " …if you ask me, of course ". Grinning, I go over and take the flesh on her neck with my lips, sucking with great hunger for her taste…

More than determined to leave my mark on her…

Good thing I had went to the bathroom an hour earlier to brush my teeth, just in case I was hormone-driven, which happens a lot when I´m around her, by the way…

Rory: " Could you be any more confident? ". Asking ironically...

Tristan: " Could you be anymore beautiful? ". Rhetorical questions. I love them…

Rory: " Smartass ".

I always seem to chuckle inwardly, don´t I?...

Oh Hell…

You can´t blame me…

I´m busy…

Well, at least my mouth…
