Her Gift
Usual Disclaimers Apply
Rory sat in the car next to Tristan on the way to the restaurant. She would glance at him every once and a while. It was strange how fate works; she was just thinking about him that last Friday and now she was on her way to a restaurant. He looked amazing still, his eyes seemed even more playful if that was possible.
He smirked when he caught her glance over at him.
"Like what you see Mary?"
He asks looking over to her and giving her a grin. She turned red and
looked away hoping he wouldn't notice. He did, she was so easy to
embarrass, just like in high school.
"We almost there?"
She questioned looking over to him.
"Yea...just few more minutes."
"Ok.."
She said and leaned back in her chair.
(Restaurant)
Rory had finished her meal and was enjoying watching the people on the dance floor. She loved dancing, of course, she couldn't dance. It was one of those things she hadn't mastered over her life time. When she had the right partner she could wing it slow dancing
but as soon as the fast song came on she would walk off the floor.
Tristan noticed her gaze and smiled.
"Would you like to dance...Mary?"
Rory's daze was broken and she looked at him.
"Oh um... No...I can't..."
He laughed and stood up.
"Don't worry, I won't let you make a fool if yourself."
He said as he pulled her to her feet.
As they walked out onto the dance floor a new song came on.
(Oh
Maybe tonight
We could close the door and lock ourselves inside
Take time to feel
I don't want to miss the chance to be so real
The days all fly away, and I forget the truth
Everything that matters is in this room
When you lie next to me
Breathin' the air I breathe
We don't have to speak
And just be (whoa)
Our love's a precious thing
Don't wanna waste a day
Or one more minute
Without you in it
Life is so sweet
When you lie next to me)
He pulled her into his arms and she smiled.
"Thank you..."
Rory said out of nowhere.
He smiled
"For what?"
She smiled and looked up at him.
"Dancing with me....you've been so great tonight...you surprised me..."
He laughed.
"You expected me to be the same ass from four years ago huh?"
"No...no you weren't a ass...just very over confident."
She said flashing him a smile.
"Good choice of words."
He smiled down at her and she smiled back, as the song went on her head
went on his shoulder, and got closer.
(My heart is yours
And every part of me still wants to give you more
More time to love
'Cause you never know when life will leave us
I want to take in all the beauty here, oh
Let the world around us just disappear
When you lie next to me
Breathin' the air I breathe
We don't have to speak
And just be (whoa)
Our love's a precious thing
Don't wanna waste a day
Or one more minute
Without you in it
Life is so sweet
When you lie next to me
When you lie next to me)
When the song ended they were brought back to reality, he started to walk
back to the table and Rory stopped him.
"No, I'm having fun."
Tristan laughed.
"Okay..."
(After The Date)
Rory was standing in front of her dorm door. Tristan was standing in front of her. He smiled down to her and slowly leaned in. That's when the door
opened up and Rory fell on her butt. She looked up to see who it was.
"Sorry Ror..."
Janet says giving a guilty smile.
Rory sighed.
Tristan bent down to help Rory up, leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
"Night Mar...."
When he walked away she turned and glared at Janet.
"To quote Top Gun....He is prime time in love with you."
Rory couldn't help it she had to laugh. Janet had mastered the voice and
everything.
"Now come inside and tell me all about your date."
Janet grabbed Rory's hand and pulled her into the dorm.
(Later)
Rory had explained her date to Paris and Janet and the two other girls were
asking her other things.
"Was there any kiss?"
Rory sighed and glared at Janet.
"Well there was gonna be one if Janet hadn't interrupted it. Thanks a lot!"
"Sorry again....I though it was those people from down the hall that keep
making out in front of the door!"
Janet said it and Rory laughed.
"I can't wait till Friday!"
(Friday)
Rory sat parked in the Gilmore Drive way, Tristan was here already and she was exited to see him.
She got out the car and walked up to the door, as soon as she rang the door bell the door opened to show a smiling Tristan.
"Hey.."
"Hi..."
Rory heard her grandmother yell for them to get inside so she stepped on in and Tristan shut the door. As they were walking into the sitting room Rory saw Loretta and sighed.
"I though your grandma wasn't gonna be here?"
She whispered and he just sighed and shook his head.
They sat on different couchs by their grandma.
It was gonna be hard keeping their hands off each other.
