Chapter Five: Phones, cheating, and lies

Rory and Lorelai had been in Europe for about a month now. Every night Rory would text message Tristin or she would call him. She couldn't believe that after one day together she felt so strongly about him. Of course her feelings had accumulated over a couple of years, but still . . . it seemed like they had been together forever, and then some.

One night Rory called Tristin because she couldn't sleep. She didn't want to interrupt her mother, so she got up very quietly and walked outside. She dialed his number and waited for someone to pick out.

Ring . . . ring . . . ring . . .

"Hello! Tristin's cell phone! I'm Marissa!" a peppy voice said. Yet this was not a peppy voice of a child or a parent, it sounded like Tristin had been hardly honourable during their time apart.

"Hi . . . " Rory stammered. "Could I talk to Tristin please?" she asked calm as possible, yet all she wanted to do was cry right then. She actually felt tears threatening to spill.

"Actually, Tristin's kind of busy right now, can I talk a message?" she giggled while sounding very stupid.

"Just tell him, Rory called," she said sternly.

"Sure Tory," she giggled stupidly.

Then the line went dead.

Tristin was cheating on her she immediatley thought. With someone who seemed to be his regular brand of girl.

Rory sat down on the steps and started to cry. That was all she seemed to be able to do. After a few minutes of crying Rory went back inside and went to sleep.

'I can't believe I wanted to come back early to see him,' she thought.

NEXT DAY

Lorelai and Rory packed up all of their things and headed to the airport.

Once they were seated on the plane, Rory noticed that all her mother was doing was smiling.

"What are you so happy about?" Rory asked.

"I know something you don't know," Lorelai said in a teasing manner.

"What?" Rory asked.

"You're just going to have to wait until we get back home," Lorelai said. And that was the end of their conversation.

Rory just shut up because she couldn't hear Lorelai's smile, she could only see it, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

HARTFORD AIRPORT

A few hours later, Rory and Lorelai arrived back in the US of A.

As we got off the plane they went to collect their luggage at the claims area. A couple of minutes into looking for their bags, they heard someone running up from behind them.

"Sorry I was later Lorelai," Tristin said breathlessly.

Rory turned around to see Tristin, breathless.

"Hey, it's your present," Lorelai said smiling as she walked away from them thinking she had done a good deed.

Once Lorelai had walked away Rory began to speak . . .

"Woo hoo," Rory dead panned while twirling her finger around.

Tristin's face went from a smile to a dim straight line.

"You don't seem too happy to see me," Tristin said slowly and sadly. It seemed as if was trying to comprehend the comment himself.

"So why were you late? Late night with 'Marissa?'" Rory said sarcastically, adding a twist to the name 'Marissa.' Of course she had to interrogate right then. It was the Gilmore way.

"Marissa?" Tristin questioned.

"You know Marissa . . ." Rory started with.

"Sounded like completely brain dead . . . She answered your cell phone last night . . ." Rory continued.

"What was she your personal phone answering service? Or was she doing other 'services' for you?" Rory spat out sarcastically, getting madder by the minute.

"You know, you're really sexy when you're angry," Tristin said, trying to reach out for her.

Rory flinched and took a step away from him to hold her ground.

She then glared at him to show that she wasn't kidding.

"Rory, it's not what you think," Tristin said, trying to sound calmly.

"You know what, I really don't want to even know because whatever you're about to say is a lie," Rory said.

As she started to walk away added: "So save your breath," Rory finished with as she started to walk away.

Rory knew that Tristin could have a really good reason about Marissa. She also knew that he could possibly not be cheating on her. Then again. . . he could've been a cheating loser. Rory really didn't want to find out which Tristin was.

Rory turned around, and faced Tristin and started walking towards him.

Tristin opened his mouth to say something to Rory because he thought that she was going to listen to what he had to say, but she obviously wasn't because Rory walked right past him and back to the luggage claims.

She picked up her bag and walked right back past Tristin, off to find her mother.

End of Chapter Five

Author's Note Number 2: I know, I left it kinds sad and angsty. Then again this leaves us with a more intersting story line. We get to find out if Tristin was really cheating or if he wasn't. If he wasn't, then we get some great make up time between them. If Tristin was, then we get to listen to him beg for Rory's forgiveness.

A/N 3: I've just updated A Kiss and am already working on it's next part.

'Till later,

Carley-Marie : )
