"WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!" Rory yelled windows rolled down as she sped down the highway.

Tristan sat gripping the arm rest in suspense. Terrified, he pleaded, "Rory, you know they have a speed limit, right?"

Rory cackled evilly. "I have the need, the need to speed!" causing Tristan to tighten his seat belt.

"I wonder if the whole of Chilton knows what a nig fat scaredy cat you are?"

Tristan grinned," And I wonder if they know what an amazing, crazy, confident, and not shy person you are?" He smirked attractively. 'And did I mention beautiful?' he thought.

Rory grinned sheepishly as she pulled into a secluded park that was set on an attractive and scenic lake.

"Out," she said simply.

Obeying Tristan grabbed the food and made his way out of the car. Rory walked ahead looking back happily every so often.

"Here," she stopped, waiting for Tristan to catch up with the blanket. For some reason she felt shy all of the sudden. She stayed looking at the ground as Tristan walked up. He gently laid down the blanket and grabbed her and tugged her down. Also experiencing Rory's shyness he decided he'd better say something.

"Uh, sandwich," he stuttered.

Rory giggled and the ice was broken. They ate and laughed and chatted like old friends. Tristan to Rory was a mystery. She knew he had a deepness no one else had ever noticed. He had secrets and walls that no one could break or see through until Rory came along. She was willing to get to know the real Tristan, which was what she wanted. She still wasn't sure of her feelings for him, but she wanted to have to chance to figure them out.

It was nearing the time to go home and Rory groaned at the thought having to leave. Something inside her chest was beating rapidly... her heart. They drove home silently. Rory let Tristan drive so she could think. She leaned her head against the head rest and closed her eyes. She must have dozed off because when she opened her eyes they were parked in the drive way of her house. Dazed by her sleep she leaned in and kissed Tristan.

She pulled away quickly.

'What am I doing?' she thought. 'It felt good but I'm just so confused. This can't be happening to me.'

Her eyes got big and she sat there staring at Tristan while she thought silently to herself.

Tristan's heart was breaking inside knowing that she pulled away quickly. To him, it felt so great. 'I wish I knew what she was thinking' he thought to himself.

"Umm Rory are you ok?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine. I have to go" she said hopping out of the car.

"Rory, wait" he said

She turned around and looked at him expectantly.

"I don't want you to ignore it like last time." he said begging for it to be different than their last kiss.

"I'm not, I just, I need time to think." she said.

"Ok"

"I'll call you tonight after my dates with Dean and Jess, ok?"

"Ok" he said smiling.

"And remember Tristan, this kiss wasn't at all like the first one"

"How's that?" he asked.

"Because I didn't run out crying," she said then smiled. "I ran out smiling" and she ran off into the house.

Great ending for the chapter, huh? Yeah, Hannah and I thought so too!! So reviews, anyone? Please?! Thanks (
