A/N: Here I am again. You see I'm updating more frequently. Your reviews really encouraged me again. Special thanks to GGFreak, your review made me smile..lol…thanks. Also a thank you for Smile1. To be honest with you, I was a bit frustrated with your earlier reviews before cause somehow I found them a bit degrading. (I'm not trying to offend you or anything, don't get me wrong, I'm a very stubborn person and I'm not very good at taken critic! So it's my own problem….lol)  But anyway, I was very pleased to read your review for chapter 4.  Your opinion has started to mean a lot to me. So thanks for that. I hope you're all going to like the next chapter. I've tried to describe the way Rory and especially Lorelai handles the new discoveries in the whole Tristan-situation. Please review!

***************************************************************************

"Mom, I'm telling you. Tristan is just a friend!" Rory said when Lorelai accused her of having feelings for Tristan.

After she had got home from the swimming pool with Tristan, Rory had this funny feeling in her stomach. She didn't know exactly what just happened in the pool, but she knew that something had changed. She couldn't ignore her feelings anymore. And now that she allowed herself to think back to that morning 3 months ago, she got this funny feeling in her stomach. She had tried so hard not to feel anything, but she knew it was useless. The time had come where she had to be honest with herself. She had to admit the truth.

She liked Tristan. She knew it by the way her stomach made little flip-flops every time he smiled that special smile. The one that was meant for her, she hoped, and deep in her heart she knew it was. And although Rory was able to admit it to herself, she wasn't ready to confront her mother with the news.

So when her mother noticed Rory's strange behaviour and asked her about it, she just followed the number-one-rule: DENIAL DENIAL DENIAL. But Lorelai knew her daughter by heart and knew something was going on. And we all know that when Lorelai sets her mind on something…..

"Come on, Rory, I gave birth to you, I raised you, I'm pretty sure I know you by know. So be honest to mommy and I will give you coffee. Now answer my question: do you like Tristan?"

Rory let out a big sigh; she wasn't ready for all this drama.

Lorelai saw her struggle and said:

"You know you can tell me everything, right? I won't get mad or anything, I'm not my mother; I just want you to be honest with me. It's perfectly OK if you've fallen for that gorgeous blond sex-god a.k.a. Tristan. I mean, who wouldn't? He's every girl's dream….Come on offspring, tell me."

*Every girl's dream * Lorelai thought. She was right about that, he was, but he was also every girl's mother's nightmare. When she first met Tristan, he had reminded her so much of Christopher. So self-assured, so arrogant, anyone could see that this boy always got what he wanted. And now he wanted her daughter. She knew it the minute she saw him staring at Rory. The look in his eyes, it was so obvious. Of course Lorelai was scared; she didn't want Rory to end up just like her.

But when the Spawn of Satan and her daughter started growing closer, she got to know him better. And she discovered that he was much like her. He too wanted to get away from the upper-class, the Hartford-society. He also felt trapped in that world filled with fake people and most of all fake dreams. She saw it as soon as she looked in to his eyes. She found hurt in there, but also the desire to set himself free, to spread out his wings and fly. To fly away from the world she also despised. And from that moment on, she knew she had to let him in. She had to let him in to the Gilmore girl's world, because he needed it so very much. He needed the honesty, the love and most of all, he needed Rory. Cause when he was with Rory, his eyes would light up and he visibly relaxed. And Rory…well Rory liked him too. A lot. Lorelai could see that. To be honest, Lorelai had to admit that they were a perfect match.

"I think I…..arrrghh…..it's so difficult mom! I don't want to lose him as a friend, but it's just that…..I don't know what to do."

"I know, honey. Just calm down. You have to believe me when I say that everything's going to be all right. When I see the two of you together, I just know that….well….eh…….."

Lorelai hesitated for a while.

"Just believe me: everything will be OK."

 She finished lamely. She didn't want to scare her daughter away, by telling her that she thought her and Tristan were made for each other.

Rory had to figure that out by herself.

"Thanks Mom. I think I'm going to lie down for a minute. Just to think for a while."

And with that said, Rory went to her room and fell down on her bed. Today had been very confusing for her and although she had her mother's support, she needed to sort things out on her own. She needed to relax and she needed to think.

 * God what an exhausting day! *.

***************************************************************************

Meanwhile at the Dugrey mansion, a certain hot boy was having trouble relaxing too. Sighing, he flopped down on his kingside bed. All the feelings for Rory that he had kept hidden so long had resurfaced this afternoon. This whirlwind of emotions had made him a wreck.

* God what an exhausting day! *
