AN: I am sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I am having some troubles with my story that are holding me back. I haven't even finished half of chapter 6. So if I don't update in a while again, that is the reason. I hope you like this chapter as much as you did the others. Please keep giving me reviews. I will update after 10 people give me reviews. Thanks again.

Chapter 5:

Tristan, who had been watching the pair since they started dancing, couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to be the one who held Rory in his arms and kissed her, but instead Alex was there. He got extremely jealous and stormed over to where Alex and Rory were dancing. Alex and Rory's lips were millimeters apart. Before Alex could go any closer, Tristan hardly tapped him on his shoulder.

Tristan: "Do you mind if I cut in?"

Alex looked up from Rory's face to see Tristan. Alex straightened his posture then looked at Rory to see if it was okay. Rory just nodded. He didn't want to let go. He wanted to hold Rory. He knew that if he said no to Tristan, Rory would think his was possessive. After all this was their first date, if you could even call it that.

Alex: "Yeah, sure man. Rory I am going to walk around for a while."

Rory: "Okay." Alex turned around and walked away. Tristan and Rory danced for a while until Tristan spoke up seeing that Alex was out of hearing distance.

Tristan: "So that was Alex?"

Rory was snapped out of the dreamy moment they were sharing when Tristan spoke.

Rory: "Oh, yeah. That's Alex.

The song ended and Tristan and Rory didn't let go of each other yet.

Tristan: "Well he seems like a good guy. I hope you, to have a fun time tonight."

Rory: "Thanks, we will. Well I better go find Alex."

Tristan nodded. Tristan took his hands off of her waist as she took her hands off of his neck.

Tristan: "Thanks for the dance, Rory"

Rory: "Yeah, you too."

Rory leaves and looks for Alex. She looks everywhere but can't seem to find him. Rory asks people but nobody knows where he went. Walking outside into the beautiful garden where the full moon was giving it a soft glow, she saw someone sitting on a bench near a dazzling fountain. As she moved closer, she realized it was Alex.

Rory: "Alex, what are you doing out here?"

Alex: "I decided to get some fresh air."

Rory sits down next to Alex and smiles at him.

Rory: "I usually find a way to go outside to clear my thoughts. I like parties but sometimes a have to get away from the people." Alex nodded, understanding what she meant.

Alex: "So how was the dance with Tristan?" Rory sensed a bit a jealously in his voice.

Rory: "It was good. It gave a chance for Tristan and I to talk. We haven't been talking as much since I told him I was going with you."

Alex: "Well, who could blame me? You are smart, beautiful and amazingly sweet. Who wouldn't want to go with you?" He smiled at Rory and she smiled back. The both started to lean in. Their lips finally met. It wasn't a long kiss but it was sweet and gentle. As they pulled away they both still had smiles on their faces. Blue and green eyes couldn't be torn away from the other. That was until they had heard a large crash.

Rory: "Alex, could we leave? I have to be home by midnight and it is already 11:30pm."

Alex: "Yeah, sure Rory. Whatever you want."

They both got up and headed into the huge house. Alex put his hand on her back and safely guided Rory to the driveway.

The whole time since they were in the garden, Tristan was watching them. His heart broke when Rory and Alex kissed. He mentally cursed Alex for moving here. If Alex hadn't, it would have probably been Tristan kissing Rory. He watched them walk outside to the driveway with smiles on their faces. He decided no matter who Rory was dating he would still be her friend. After all, it was better than nothing.

Now it is time to review. Just push the little button. Lol. (
