Look in my eyes, what do you see?

Not just the color

Look inside of me

Tell me all you need and I will try

I will try

I'm going to love you more than anyone

I'm going to hold you closer than before

And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free

I'll be free for you anytime

I'm going to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need

We'll be free together baby

Free together baby

Chapter 16
More Than Anyone
~*~#~*~

"Rise and shine, poodle!!" Justin called in a sing-songy voice as he entered the apartment. He deposited a bag on the table, which spread the delicious aroma of fresh made coffee.

He walked a circle through the living room, sending disgusted glares at the rug, Rory called Bob. It was an ugly, brown, longhaired rug, which lay in front on the TV. "Really Ror, if you're not throwing this thing out soon, I will. Honestly… 'Bob'? Who would call their rug Bob?" He thought about it for a minute. "I actually used to know a man named Bob with a back as hairy as this rug… I dumped him as soon as possible, and that's what I recommend u do with this too."

He walked back to the bag he had brought, and pulled a very big silofoam cup of coffee out of it.

When he didn't hear anything, he presumed she was still in bed and started walking up to her room. "Rory… I've got something gooooood for you…" He sang. "All you have to do is come and get it!!"

He opened her bedroom door and a smile formed on his face. "Rory, Rory…" He mumbled to himself. "Finally getting some from the hottie…I guess that's better than what I got for her…"

***

"I thought you might need this…" Rory read out loud. She laid down the note Justin had left and picked up the huge cup of coffee it was with.

"So…" Tristan started.

Rory turned around to look at him, but then changed her mind and settled her eyes on the floor.

"So…" She too said.

"About last night…"

But she interrupted him. "More like this morning…"

A smirk appeared on his face. "Yeah, ok."

It had been great; no better, it had been awesome, spectacular, phenomenal. There wasn't one specific word to describe it.

"Was it as good for you as it was for me?" He smiled.

"You couldn't come up with anything more corny?"

He looked quasi hurt. "So… it wasn't any good for you?"

She smiled. "Ow, It definitely was. She walked up to him and laid her hands on both sides of his face. She kissed him with all the passion she had, and tried to show how much she cared about him, how much he meant to her. She tried to show all that with her kiss. And he responded equally passionate.

"Rory…" He breathed. " Rory, I love you." He looked her in the eyes, trying to see if she maybe felt the same. And in her eyes he saw so much fire, so much warmth and so much love, it almost overwhelmed him.

A smile formed on her face. "Tristan, I think I love you too, and last night was amazing. It just… blew me away…" She told him, as she thought back about last night.

* Flashback*

"Rory" Tristan breathed. "I need you so much, Rory"

Rory shivered as the sensation started to spread through her body. She clasped her nails in his back, trying to make him move faster, or deeper… just more. She needed more of this feeling and more of him. It seemed like he new exactly what she was thinking, because he went faster, in a tempo that made both their heads spin. Almost automatically Rory's legs wrapped around his waist, in an attempt to make the feeling even more intense.

She could feel she was close. She seemed unable to control any part of her body. Every single part of her seemed focused on the upcoming explosion. Her muscles flexed and her head spun, and her stomach was doing crazy flip-flops.

She could feel the muscles in his back tense up, and she knew he was close too.

"Tristan!" She couldn't help but scream when he decided to take the speed up just a little more.

He kissed her passionately. "Rory, Oh god… Rory!" He moaned.

And then, it was there. For that one moment she felt free. She felt like she was flying high above the world, but at the same time she felt like she was going off a roller coaster.  Her heart was beating fast and she held on to Tristan as tight as she could.

His body was trembling heavily before he fell down beside her.

"I love you, Rory…" She thought she heard him say, but she didn't know for sure, because a minute later she had cuddled up to him, and was already falling asleep.

* End Flashback*

"Rory," Tristan took her hands in his. "This morning when I got coffee, I walked past this store, and in the window they had this one box. And when I saw it, I immediately thought of you." He gazed in her eyes, and then moved a hand to his pocket. "I just had to buy it for you."

" I don't know if this is the right way to do it," He dropped to his knee. " but I've seen other men do it like this, so I thought I'd give it a try."

In his hand he had a small, red velvet box.

"I love you, Lorelai Leigh Gilmore." At that point Rory was smiling like a maniac.

He opened the box and in it laid the most beautiful ring Rory ever saw.

It was a very small, fragile looking golden ring, with a small, sparkly diamond placed in it.

He took her hand.

"Would you please be mine, my dearest Mary?" He softly asked her.

She pulled him up. "You silly boy…" She pulled him closer and kissed him.

"Of course I will." And those were the words Tristan had been waiting for. He took her hand again and gently placed the ring on her finger.

"Are you prepared to spend the rest of your life with me?" He whispered in her ear.

"Forever and always…"
