Chapter 12: Surprising Revelations

Rory felt her cheeks burn when she walked into the kitchen in the morning. Lorelai grinned at her daughter to ease some of the tension, but Rory's eyes remained on the floor. Tristan waltzed in like nothing had ever happened and kissed Rory on the cheek, followed by Lorelai.

"Morning Mary," he told his humiliated girlfriend. "G'morning to you, too, Lorelai. I do want to apologize for the display you witnessed last night. We thought you were asleep, and we were careless to be in the living room. I hope you can forgive me and I really hope Rory will be able to look you in the eye by the end of today. I'll leave you two ladies to chat, and I will be back by lunch."

After his little speech, he left the Gilmore women alone in the kitchen to talk. Lorelai's shoulders started to shake as laughter threatened to come out. Here she was in a terrible situation with a mortified daughter and she was laughing at what a piece of work that boy was. Soon, her giggles became audible, and she was in hysterics. Rory soon joined in, and finally lifted her eyes.

"Honey, I know what it's like to be young and in love," Lorelai reassured her. "But next time, just please take it into your room. I'll admit that I'm not happy about you having sex, I don't think any mother is, but I do know that you are responsible. And that boyfriend of yours is a great guy."

"Yeah, he really is, isn't he," Rory said with a dreamy look.

"Okay, now let's say we get some breakfast at Luke's. I wonder where Tristan disappeared to."

"Yeah, I have no idea. Oh well, let's just be back home by lunch." Rory replied as they left the Gilmore house.

--------

Tristan walked down the streets of Stars Hollow in search of something to do that would be mildly entertaining. He did find some amusement when he watched Luke throw Taylor out of the diner. This town was unreal; it seemed as though someone pulled it out of the real world and left it as a safe and happy place. It definitely raised his spirits whenever he visited and Rory was a different person. Walking past the diner, he soon arrived at the Gazebo and sat down on a bench and pondered how to make Rory's first time special. He knew it was only a matter of time, and he didn't want it to be spontaneous at all. She deserved it to be specially planned out.

Looking at the town, he could see a deliveryman carrying a bouquet of flowers and a plan started to form in his head. He took out his cell phone and began making phone calls to get everything set up. This was going to be a night Rory never would forget.

--------

Tristan finally finished and looked at his watch. He knew Rory would probably be getting hungry for lunch, so he headed back to the Gilmore residence hoping the two women were able to patch things up. The second he opened the door answered that question for him. Laughter greeted his ears and he could see Rory and Lorelai sitting on the floor painting each other's toenails. He stood next to them and raised an eyebrow.

"And what are you two doing?" he asked them as he leaned over and gave Rory a butterfly kiss.

Lorelai looked up and grinned, "We got tired of waiting for you, so we decided to entertain ourselves! Hence the nails polish."

Tristan chuckled and sat on the floor beside them. A thought suddenly occurred to him, "Aren't you guys hungry?"

"Got it covered," Rory told him. "We ordered Chinese food. It should be here any minute."

"Oh okay."

Tristan watched a silent conversation between Rory and Lorelai for a moment before they attacked him. He yelled in surprise, and soon was trying to get away from the two of them. Rory held him down and Lorelai grabbed his feet and took his shoes and socks off. He pleaded with them to stop, but the Gilmore Girls showed no mercy and Lorelai painted his toenails bright red. When she was done, Rory let Tristan go and he frowned at both of them.

"You and your mother have a sick sense of humor."

"I know," Rory giggled. "But, this way you can be one of the girls!"

Tristan jumped to his feet and chased his girlfriend around the house as Lorelai laughed loudly. She was the only one downstairs when the doorbell rang and so she answered it. After she paid for the Chinese food, she called the young couple down to eat. They bounded down the stairs two at a time and when they got to the landing Tristan grabbed Rory around the waist and kissed her. She returned the kiss and they continued to make out until Lorelai started making "kissing noises" to get them to come down.

"Come on! It's time to eat!" Lorelai exclaimed and dragged Rory down the rest of the stairs away from Tristan.

Rory shot him an apologetic look, but Tristan knew they'd be alone soon enough. Especially with what he had planned for the both of them. He grinned just thinking about it. Tristan joined the two of them and began eating on the mountain of food they bought to eat. He couldn't wait to get the red nail polish off his toes, though. The things you do for love.

Paris was bored out of her mind. She already caught up on all her homework and wrote all the papers that were due, and now she was mindlessly staring at the television. Greg had to visit a friend in North Carolina, and Rory was in Stars Hollow so she had no one to hang out with. Paris sighed and picked up the phone to call Greg, but someone knocked on the door before she could dial. Thinking it was probably someone from the dorm room, she stalked over to the door and pulled it open. Standing on her threshold was Greg, and he came bearing a picnic basket and a bouquet of roses.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed and took the flowers from him. "Hi honey! This is so sweet. Thank you!"

He grinned as Paris found a vase and put her roses in it and filled it with water. He pulled a penny out of his pocket and dropped it into the water. She didn't understand at first, but he told her it makes the flowers last longer. Then, he offered her his arm and she happily took it and he escorted her to his car. Halfway there she remembered what he told her.

"Hey, I thought you were going to North Carolina."

"Well, if I hadn't said that it would have taken the element of surprise away," Greg explained as he opened the passenger door for her.

She sat down and soon they were driving to the park where they loved to have picnics. He got out and raced around to open her door and then helped her out. Grabbing the basket out of the trunk they made their way to the best place in the park. It was a secluded area with trees in a small ring, so no one could see in. Paris felt like they were the only two people in the world. Greg spread a blanket on the ground and then stood in front of Paris and looked deep into her eyes.

"Paris, before we eat I have something very important to ask you. Now, I know we're still young, but I love you more than life itself and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Paris' heart began to race as he continued, "Now, I know we should wait until after college, but I had to ask you now. Paris Gellar, will you marry me?"

Paris' eyes widened and she looked down at the most wonderful man she had ever met. He was on one knee and holding out a perfect diamond ring. Considering her options for only a moment, she finally spoke.

"So, we don't actually get married until after college?" she asked him, trying to keep her tone neutral. "Exactly."

"Yes," Paris answered in a low voice. "Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

By that time Greg was already standing up and had his arms wrapped around Paris. With a shaky hand, he placed the ring on her delicate finger and she looked down at it, smiling. Greg knew she was happy, and that made him feel so good. Paris snapped out of her daze and captured Greg's lips with her own. Soon, they were laying down on the blanket lost in each other. Voices from behind the trees filtered into their magical circle and broke them apart. Paris looked at the man she was going to marry and grinned.

"I have to call Rory!" she exclaimed.

Greg just laughed at her as she dialed and began to get their picnic set up. He was relieved and excited all at once!

--------

Rory picked up her cell phone and greeted whoever was on the other end. She was too busy laughing at Tristan trying to get the red nail polish off. He got some of it off, but they still had a pinkish tint to them and he was furiously trying to scrub it off with nail polish remover. It didn't help that the remover was making him sick to his stomach and Rory was laughing at him.

"Rory! You will never guess what just happened!" Paris screeched. Before Rory could say a word

Paris continued, "Greg proposed to me!"

"Wha..." Rory started, but Paris cut her off.

"I know what you're going to say, so don't. We're not going to get married until after we graduate, that way we won't have to worry about it while we're in class and stuff. So, what do you think?"

"I think this is wonderful news, Paris! I'm so happy for you. Do you want me to tell Tristan?"

"Um... let me see if Greg wants to be the one to do it."

Rory waited for her friend to return, but she didn't see Tristan's grin.

"Rory, you're not going to believe this but Greg told Tristan already!" Paris exclaimed.

"Wait, you didn't know, too, did you?"

"What! Of course I didn't know. I can't believe he didn't tell me," Rory said as she shot Tristan a glare.

He just grinned and reached for the phone.

"Well, Bible Boy wants to talk to you."

"Thank you, Mary," Tristan said in revenge for calling him Bible Boy, and took the phone out of her hand.

"Paris, I'm incredibly happy for you and the only reason I know is because Greg needed help ring shopping," he told her very charismatically.

Rory's eyes got wide when Tristan hung up the phone. "Ring shopping! And you didn't tell me! I could have helped you, ugh!"

"Sorry," Tristan said and gave her his best puppy-dog face. "If it makes you feel better, the nail polish still won't come off. It looks like I'll have pink toenails for several days at least."

Rory broke into a grin and sat down to help him. Tristan loved the look of determination on Rory's face, and the look of triumph when she completed her task. He sighed in relief when he saw his nails were a normal color again. Rory leaned forward and placed a light kiss on his lips. They were interrupted by Lorelai's voice telling them she was going to get a movie for them to watch. Tristan's lips came crashing onto hers the second the door slammed shut. Rory returned his kiss with an equal amount of passion.

Rory sighed into Tristan's mouth as his hands traveled from the small of her back up to her hair. He ran his fingers through it, amazed by how silky soft it was. Hands. Caressing her face and running down her smooth, soft skin. Porcelain. He couldn't get enough of her. Feeling every bit of exposed skin, while discovering the depths of her mouth and tangling his tongue with hers. Clothes. Too many clothes, not enough skin. Tristan pushed them apart and unbuttoned Rory's shirt, exposing her bra encased breasts and flat stomach. More. So much more skin to explore, to taste, to kiss. Rory moaned as his lips and tongue ran all over her stomach. Subconsciously, she remembered what happened the night before and grabbed Tristan's hand and dragged him towards her bedroom. Her shirt had long been discarded on the floor, and she tried to focus on opening her door as Tristan's breath was hot on her neck.

Success. She opened the door and turned around and kissed him fiercely. As they backed towards the bed, all Rory could think was she was losing control. Tristan unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor and stared at her beautiful breasts. Her peaks were hardened by the desire she held for him, and Tristan ravaged them with a hunger reserved only for her. Air. Rory couldn't breathe, all she could think about was how much she wanted him at that moment. Grabbing his butt, she pulled him towards her and they fell backwards onto the bed. Aroused. Tristan felt his desire for her growing at an increased rate, and didn't know how he would be able to stop if they kept going. Finally, he pulled away from his love and looked into her hurt and wanting eyes.

"This isn't the right way," he whispered hoarsely.

She merely nodded and got dressed, fully disappointed. That was when she knew she was ready.
