What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I stutter, I stumble

Chapter 6

Things I'll Never Say

~*~#~*~

"Rory…Hi… yeah, I said I would call, so now I am… But before u say anything, please listen to me…I need to tell u that I'm not planning on meeting u soon. Uhmm… not at all actually. It's not like I don't want to, but I just can't. Because when I saw u the other day, I just realised that my feelings for u haven't changed… at all. I was in love with you back in High school, and I know we haven't seen each other in quite some time, but the moment that I saw your face I just fell right back in love with you. I just th…"

Tristan turned around and sat down on the bed standing in the middle of the small room. With a sigh he stood up again and walked back to the mirror he was rehearsing in front of.

He looked at himself and frowned.

"You can't tell her that DuGrey… It sounds like a lie and you sound like a jerk." He sighed and rested his hands on the dresser standing in front of the mirror. God, how bad he wanted to call her and just tell her that he missed her and wanted to be with her and… he just wanted to be with her. Although he knew he couldn't, and he knew that if he tried he'd get his heart broken once again.

His thoughts were interrupted by a short knock on the door. He looked up and saw Josh stick his head around the door.

"Hey man, how's it going? Have you called her yet?"

Tristan pushed himself away from the mirror and walked up to the small window. He answered while he looked at the people walking down the streets.

"No, I have no idea what to tell her."

Josh walked up to Tristan. Tristan had told him all about his feelings for Rory.

"Just call her. If you keep putting it off it'll only get harder. Just tell her how you really feel. She'll understand."

Tristan kept silent as he thought about that. Would she understand?

"Call her." Were Josh' words as he headed to the door again.

"Tris!" He said as he picked up the phone.

Tristan turned around and looked at his friend.

"I mean it man, call her."

He threw the phone towards Tristan, who caught it easily.

"I will… soon…"

"Hello?"

Tristan took a deep breath.

"Rory… hi…"

"Hey Tristan! I already thought it'd be you, but of course you never know"

"Yeah…" He laughed nervously.

 "So how are you doing?" Rory asked calmly.

"Uhm… yeah good, great. Uhm… Rory… I actually needed to tell u something." Rory was surprised, but curious nonetheless.

 "Ok, spill."

 " I… I need you to know that I was really surprised to see you the other day…"

"Yeah, me too. Can you believe it? Us meeting after al this time, in New York. Out of all places!! I…" Tristan began to get a bit frustrated. This wasn't how he wanted this conversation to go. So he cut her off.

"Rory…"

 "I know, I'm rambling ain't I? While u wanted to tell me something."

"Yeah. Like I said, it was a big shock for me to see you. And I really do want to catch up with you…"

"Yeah!! We have so much to discuss!! I still can't believe it…"

God!! How was he ever going to be able to tell her what he needed to tell her so desperately, when she wouldn't even give him the chance to talk?

"Hey Tris?" Rory asked all of the sudden. "Why don't u tell me whatever you wanted to say tonight. Over dinner maybe?"

Tristan couldn't believe this. He was supposed to tell her how he felt, but instead she was asking him out to dinner?

"I don't know…"

 "Well if tonight isn't good for you tomorrow would be fine too."

He tried to explain, finally. "No it's not that I can't make it… It…"

"Well then, shall we meet somewhere? Or are you gonna pick me up…?"

She wasn't making this very easy for him.

" … Because that would be the way to do it of course. Do you think we should make reservations somewhere?" Rory just rambled on, unaware of Tristans attempts to interrupt her.

He gave up… "Yes, I'll pick u up and no, I'll take care of everything."

"Ok" Rory said gladly. "My address is on my business card."

"Ok, I'll see you tonight then. Lets say, eightish?"

"That would be great, see you tonight." With that she hung up the phone.

Tristan felt defeat. He let out a deep sigh and let himself fall on the bed once again.

"That woman is impossible…" for a little while.


 A/N: I know… It's kin of short. But like I said, chapter 7 will be up soon. Let me know what u think about the story so far in the meanwhile.
