Chapter 3: The Longest 3 Months of my Life!
"Oh yeah, everything is fine, don't worry about it." He smiled and gave her a peck on the lips. "I love you," he said softly.
"Yeah uh me too" She said her voice wavering as she walked to pick up trash to avoid the moment. ***At least I know he's not dumping me*** she thought. After saying goodbye to the rest of their friends, they went to a park on the DuGrey property. Rory sat on a swing and Tristan sat next to her, turning to face her. "So what is it you needed to talk to me about?" Rory asked quietly.
"Well the week after school ends my dad is taking me to Europe for 3 months. I should be back the second week of school."
"You're going to be in Europe for 3 MONTHS?" Rory asked in shock. She had known Tristan for practically her whole life and they had never been apart that long, they had even gone to the same sleep away camps.
"Yeah" He said reaching over and taking her hand. "I'm sorry."
"That's okay." She bit her lower lip. "It's only 3 months, its not like you're going away for ever. You'll be back after summer vacation. I mean yeah 3 months but we're all going down to Martha's Vineyard this summer, and umm I can read, and hang out with Paris, Maddy, Matt, Kyle, Louise. . ."
"Baby, you're rambling again."
"I'm sorry." Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Rory, it's not that bad." He got off his swing and kneeled in front of her. "I'll be back before you can even miss me." He kissed the hand he was holding.
"What if you meet someone there, I mean it's Europe they have all those tall, thin, blondes out there. You'll be alone and get lonely and the next thing I know---"
"Shh, I'd never leave you for some random fling with a blonde. I spent to long trying to win you over." He stood up pulling her with him and kissed her passionately. "You mean too much to me Ror."
She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. "You mean a lot to me too. G*d I'm going to miss you." She said the tears pouring out her eyes. "Don't have too much fun with out me."
"I'll miss you everyday." He kissed the top of her head. "Every hour, every minute" They kissed again. "These 3 months will just fly by and then I'll be back, and I'll never leave you again." They walked over to a hammock that Tristan hung there when they were 10. Laying down they got lost in a make-out session and lost all track of time. The next thing they knew it was almost daybreak.
"SHIT TRISTAN."
"What?" He asked shifting so he could see Rory's profile.
"Its daybreak, the sun is going to rise soon."
"Okay I'll get you home." Tristan stated getting off the hammock and pulling her with it. They got in his car and drove all the way back to the Gilmore- Hayden mansion. "I'll call you tomorrow... or uh . . . later today." Tristan said as she was unbuckling her seat belt.
"Okay, just don't call before 10." She replied leaning over and giving him a kiss. "Wait just a minute... today's Thursday isn't it? Why did Matt have a party on THURSDAY?"
"Don't know, I'll see you in school then." He pulled her closer and gave her a long slow kiss. "'Night Mare"
"Good night." With that she ran around the house. She carefully opened the back door and snuck in through the back staircase. She carefully got into bed, and with out changing out of her clothing fell asleep.
~*~*~Master Bedroom~*~*~ "Annnnd she just got in." Lorelei stated with a smug look.
"How can you tell I didn't hear a thing?" Christopher stated.
"A mother knows, did she really think she could come home this late, err early with out me noticing?" asked Lorelei "I am the MASTER or sneaking in."
"Do you remember that one night when we got home an hour before school started?"
"And I climbed up on to by balcony in high heels and a mini skirt."
"Oh yeah, I defiantly remember that climb."
"Chris!" she said hitting his arm. "You weren't supposed to be looking."
"Oh Lor, I've seen more then that!" he smirked at her before giving her a kiss.
"That doesn't mean you should have been looking, it wasn't necessary."
"Oh it really was," he said the smirk not leaving his face. They kissed again this time it getting more heated.
"Okay, I'm tired time for bed."
"You did not just do that!"
"But I did." She turned over on her side and pulled the blanket up.
"Meany," he said wrapping his arms around her waist. "I love you Lor."
"I love you too." With that, they fell into a peaceful sleep.
