Chapter 8: Ex-boyfriend Boy Bands
Mary Exposed
Tristan Dugrey's Mary's identity has finally been uncovered. Close friend of the couple Louis Grant reports that they have been dating since their senior year in high school. Mary's real name is Lorelai Gilmore and Mary is only a pet name Tristan uses. Another source reports that Lorelai only became interested in Mr. Dugrey after he became famous. It seems Lorelai has a thing for the rich and famous she also dated famous author JM and is reportedly Lane Kim's (Drummer) close friend. Will Mr. Dugrey ever get smart and break up with the fame hungry Ms. Gilmore.
"How convenient they leave out that I dated Jess before he was famous and I've been best friends with Lane since we were little." Rory said to herself. It was Wednesday and she was at the airport standing in front of a magazine vendor reading random article while she waited for her flight, witch was delayed.She huffed in frustration and shoved the magazine back on the shelf.
"Hey you break you buy." The vendor shouted at Rory as she stomped away to check on her flight. Rory turned around and glared at the man. She might have even growled.
"Sorry." The man said sounding slightly frightened.
"Hey Gilmore don't hurt him." A voice said from behind her. Rory turned around to stare at the person who had just called out her name. He didn't look familiar at all. Rory stared at him curiously. "You don't remember me?"
"Sorry." Rory said biting her lip and crossing her arms in front of herself.
"That's alright Mag." He said before leaving her standing there confused.
It suddenly clicked. That was Parker Carter from senior year. She turned in the direction he walked off to catch him but he was gone. She smiled and thought how very like Carter. Tall, dark, handsome, and mysterious. She walked off with a smile on her face. He always could make her smile or cry.
AIRPLANE
"---So now we are on a break if you can even call it that because I don't even know what it means I just kind of said it because I was scared. Can you blame me the press is making me out to some kind of money hungry witch and I'm good person. Am I good person? I don't volunteer, I don't pick up trash when I see it on the side of the road, and I don't recycle. Maybe their right maybe I am an evil witch. I always considered myself to be a decent person, but I can see where they would get the evil witch thing from. It just so stressful you know?" Rory looked over at the person she had practically just told her life story.
"Interesting." The six year old said barely able to pronounce all of the syllables. Her golden blond hair was pulled into neat pigtails. She sat in the seat beside Rory with her tiny hands clasped together under her chin nodding at the appropriate times of Rory's story. "So you've dated the dependable one, the deep one, the sensitive one and the hot one."
"You make it sound like their in a boy band." Rory mumbled under her breath.
The little girl stared directly into Rory's eyes. Her big beautiful emerald green eyes staring deep into Rory's soul.
"Its like when you first learn to ride a bike at first you think about everything and get nervous and of course you fall but once you learn just to not think about it and just do it its easy."
"So?"
"It means you think to much." The little girl explained.
"What's your name?" Rory asked completely amazed by her.
"Kathryn Blakney Elizabeth Jones." Kathryn answered. "But my mom used to call me Kat."
"Is that your mom?" Rory said glancing at the sleeping women in the seat beside Kat with her head propped on the window seal.
"No my mom died when I was four. That's Sarah she's from an agency for foster children. I'm going to live with another foster family in California." Kat explained.
Rory stared sadly at the angel in front of her not knowing what to do or say.
END OF FLIGHT
"I hope Kat didn't bother you to much." Sarah apologized as they were getting off the plane.
"Not at all." Rory said grabbing her bag from the overhead compartment. "She is the most interesting person I've met in a long time."
"Really Kat usually is rude to everyone. She had hard time with her mother passing away."
"Yeah she told me."
"Kat told you about her mother?" Sarah asked looking slightly shocked.
"Yes."
"She has never discussed it with anyone you must have really connected with her."
Rory smiled.
"Here is my card if you ever have the urge to adopt." Sarah said with a hint of laughter.
"Maybe." Rory said taking the card. "When I much much older."
"It was nice to meet you." Kat said sticking her tiny hand out at Rory.
Rory bent down and hugged the little girl.
"Bye Kat." Rory said praying it would not be the last time she ever saw the captivating little girl.
"Goodbye."
Rory walked out of the plane with a sad smile on her face. As soon as she entered the airport she noticed Tommy standing to the side chatting away on the phone and holding a palm pilot in the other. He spotted Rory and immediately hung up the phone and shoved the palm pilot in his pocket.
"Rory dear." Tommy said kissing her hand. "How was your flight?"
"Delightful darling." Rory said using a slight British accent.
DRESS SHOP
"Rory you look wonderful." Tommy said as Rory tried on a fourth dress.
The first was a deep blue and a spaghetti strap that stopped above her knee and had a ribbon tied around her waste.
"To plane." Tommy had said.
The next was a black halter-top dress it was a good deal tighter and shorter than the first but she did look sexy.
"To sexy." Rory said crossing she arm across her chest self-consciously.
The third dress she had tried on was a deep red color. It had no straps and stopped below her knee. The bottom of the dress had a jagged cut in layers so it swayed as she walked.
"Are you supposed to be able to breath?"
"No." Tommy had answered yet Rory refused to hold her breath for an entire night.
The forth and finale dress Tommy hopped was black it was off the shoulder and stopped above he knee as well. It was tighter than Rory would have liked, but it was better than all the other dresses.
"Rory you look wonderful." Tommy declared as she stepped out of the changing room.
"You don't think it's to tight?" Rory said a bit self-conscious.
"Of course it's to tight." Tommy said with a little laugh. "It's supposed to be that way."
Rory turned to go try on yet another dress.
"I was joking." Tommy said. "You look to damn good in that dress to not buy it."
"You think."
"The red carpet won't know what hit it. Photographers with be saying Nicole who?"
A slight blush crept to her cheeks but so did a smile.
"So are we buying the dress?"
"We're buying the dress." Rory confirmed.
A/N- If you don't know who the hell Parker Carter is that is fine he is in this chapter purely for the prequel. Kat may or may not be in later chapters I have an idea involving her though it's probably not what you're thinking. I'm sorry if you're disappointed about the lack of Tristan. So am I. I'm really not liking this chapter at the moment but next chapter is when they go to the Golden Globes so I promise lots of Tristan and gallons of drama.
REVIEW RESPONSES
Kiki- I updated sooner.
Ggluver- glad you like it.
Pearls24- Glad you noticed Rory not saying I love you back. I think Rory has a bit of a commitment problem thats why I made it so in my story she has only told Tristan she loved him once but he has told her three times.
